Among the onlookers, probably only Ling Xiao’s few friends had some confidence in him.
The rest did not think Ling Xiao could win.
They felt that Ling Xiao agreeing to fight Li Chengxiu or Ximen Bumie one-on-one was simply being overconfident.
Did he really think that killing Blood Skull meant he could disregard other martial artists?
Ling Xiao would surely pay the price for his carelessness and arrogance.
No matter how good your talent was, no matter if you were a genius, the gap in cultivation between the two was simply too large. This was absolutely impossible to ignore.
“You are not stopping him? It is too early for him to face those two now.”
Feng Yanran’s delicate figure squeezed out from the crowd. She shouted anxiously at Leng Mei and the others.
“Yanran, do you still not understand him? When has he ever listened to advice? Once he decides on something, right or wrong, he will stick to it.”
Ji Mingkong smiled bitterly. “Besides, he has never been one to show off. Since he dares to accept Ximen Bumie’s challenge, what is Li Chengxiu?”
“Mingkong, you truly understand me. Yanran, no need to worry. The final winner will definitely be me! Just like when I defeated Blood Skull, this Li Chengxiu will also become my defeated opponent!”
Ling Xiao smiled and said.
“Sigh, you are just a stubborn ox! Stubborn cow!”
Feng Yanran stamped her foot. “I am done with you.”
She said she was done, but Feng Yanran still walked forward a few steps, ready to rescue if anything went wrong.
She did not care about any rules. Whoever hurt Ling Xiao was her enemy!
“Li Chengxiu, you truly should not have stepped forward!”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, suddenly raised his hand, and a Chiyang Cone shot through the air.
This was his most commonly used attack move and currently his most proficient one.
“Hehe, little beast, this move of yours has no effect on me. Today, I will let you know your stupidity, absolutely!”
Seeing the Chiyang Cone, Li Chengxiu sneered, took out a three-foot-long sword, shook it lightly, and a layer of silver-white sword qi covered the blade, flowing continuously.
In an instant, a spiral sword qi shot through the air, targeting the Chiyang Cone flying in mid-air.
Feeling the sharp sound of the spiral sword qi frictioning the air, Ling Xiao just smiled faintly and raised his right hand lightly.
Shadow Cone!
The Chiyang Cone collided with the spiral sword qi, but the Shadow Cone sped onward, still attacking Li Chengxiu.
Although the onlookers could not see the Shadow Cone, they had seen Ling Xiao’s battle with Blood Skull and naturally understood that his casual wave was definitely an attack.
“Tricks of a novice!”
Li Chengxiu sneered, thrust his long sword into the ground in front of him, and suddenly a larger spiral sword qi appeared around him, enveloping his entire body.
The Shadow Cone hit the spiral sword qi, struggled for a moment, and was ultimately completely neutralized.
This time, the onlookers saw it clearly.
“Ling Xiao’s Shadow Cone was actually neutralized. This is bad!”
Worried voices rose from the crowd.
You must know, using Chiyang Cone and Shadow Cone together was truly hard to defend against. Yet Li Chengxiu defended so easily. This was not good.
“See, I told you. Ling Xiao’s cultivation is too low. He is no match for Li Chengxiu. Hurry and prepare to save him.”
Feng Yanran said anxiously.
“No need to worry, Sister Yanran. Big Brother Ling’s moves are not fully deployed yet.”
Dai Yaoling comforted her.
Ji Mingkong also nodded. “This is just the beginning. Did you not notice? That guy Ling Xiao is using Li Chengxiu to test his moves. He just wants to know the power of Chiyang Cone and Shadow Cone.”
Before her words finished, the battle over there had already ended.
Ling Xiao used the Light Shadow Divine Cone.
Although Li Chengxiu knew Ling Xiao would use this move, he had no way to counter it. The terror of this move’s power completely exceeded Li Chengxiu’s imagination.
His spiral sword qi was torn open like paper, then the black-and-white Light Shadow Divine Cone pierced through his body.
With terrifying kinetic energy, it sent him flying into the crowd.
“So what if you know my Light Shadow Divine Cone? Still useless!”
Looking at the dying Li Chengxiu, Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
As he fought more in public, more people understood him. Some would definitely consider countermeasures.
Thus, his previously used moves could no longer achieve surprise effects.
At this time, what he could rely on was powerful force and terrifying control.
Just like in this battle, Li Chengxiu knew he would use Light Shadow Divine Cone and even prepared defenses in advance, yet it was still useless against the terrifying Light Shadow Divine Cone. He was ultimately killed on the spot.
Turning back, Ling Xiao looked coldly at Ximen Bumie. “It is your turn now. Stop always letting others die for you!”
Ximen Bumie frowned.
Ling Xiao’s earlier Light Shadow Divine Cone, he should be able to block, but according to what he knew, Ling Xiao had an even stronger move, the one used against Blood Skull.
It seemed called Taotie Doomsday.
Although many had studied this move, no one had figured out its principle or execution method.
Should he really fight?
He started to worry.
“What? A martial artist at the early stage of Bahuang Tian actually fears me, a martial artist at the peak of Wuxing Tian?”
Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully.
“Hmph, since you want to die, I will fulfill you!”
Ximen Bumie snorted coldly and finally did not retreat.
If he retreated today, he would have to avoid Ling Xiao on the streets in the future.
Moreover, his cultivation was at the early stage of Bahuang Tian, much stronger than Li Chengxiu. He did not believe Ling Xiao could do anything to him!
“Hehe, I hope you are not as useless as Li Chengxiu.”
Ling Xiao chuckled, then suddenly struck.
Taotie Doomsday!
No one expected that Ling Xiao, without any preparation, used his strongest killing move right from the start.
Even Ximen Bumie did not expect it.
However, Ling Xiao’s move was carefully prepared, starting from his fight with Li Chengxiu.
He knew that with his cultivation, defeating Ximen Bumie was possible but not easy.
To defeat the opponent and create a deterrent effect, he could only use the killing move right away.
Seeing the massive sword qi condensed into a Taotie charging at him, Ximen Bumie felt the breath of death and completely lost the will to resist.
He did not even move, his face deathly pale.
“Little bastard, it is just street sparring, yet so ruthless. Stop now!”
Just as Ximen Bumie thought he was doomed, a thunderous roar rang out, followed by a majestic aura descending.
“Sikong old dog!”
Ling Xiao cursed inwardly that this guy came at the worst time.
