“You really are too much. I only wanted to help you!”
Hearing Ling Xiao say that her joining the fight would only hinder him, Yue Qin nearly spat blood. She was, after all, an Eight Desolate Heaven martial artist. Being called a hindrance was something she simply could not swallow.
Yet she did not dare fall out with Ling Xiao right now.
At this moment, Ling Xiao was their only saviour.
If she offended him, they would truly be in deep trouble next.
“Thank you for the kind offer, but it is not necessary.”
Ling Xiao’s voice softened considerably.
“Arrogant little brat!”
Yue Qin stamped her foot, turned back to the Restoration Society warriors and said, “Don’t stoop to a child’s level. If anything looks wrong later, we charge in at once. We can’t let him die, or the Restoration Society would lose all face.”
“Yes!”
Almost every Restoration Society warrior believed they would definitely have to step in soon, because there was no way Ling Xiao could hold off so many enemies with his strength.
Yet in the next instant, every single one of them dropped their jaws to the ground.
The overwhelming killing intent that suddenly burst from Ling Xiao filled them with intense terror, as though they were facing a fearsome existence that had slaughtered tens of thousands of martial artists.
That terrifying killing intent even condensed into a gigantic blood-red sword hovering above the youth’s head.
“This fellow can’t be some old monster in disguise, can he? How can someone so young possess such dreadful killing intent? Even I feel chills all over my body.”
Staring at Ling Xiao wrapped in blood-red killing intent, Yue Qin could not help swallowing hard. Her words came out haltingly.
“Even if he isn’t an old monster, he must be a veteran of countless battlefields. The number of martial artists who have died by his hand is probably beyond counting.”
Liu Chuang’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke.
“Yue Qin, do you think he might be that Chosen Son?”
Someone in the crowd suddenly whispered.
“Yes! Exactly, it must be him. Among all humans, I have never heard of anyone this monstrous!”
Yue Qin suddenly remembered.
Their Sacred Dynasty Restoration Society had arranged to meet the Chosen Son, Ling Xiao, in secret at the Demon Capital. By rights, he should have arrived by now.
Although none of them had ever met the legendary Chosen Son, tales about him were everywhere.
“No wonder he is so domineering, so powerful, so confident, and completely unfazed facing so many warriors! The Chosen Son is the Chosen Son. Even if his cultivation isn’t the highest, his combat power is terrifyingly strong.”
Liu Chuang revealed a joyful expression. He had never imagined that he would be saved by that legendary figure. It was an immense honour.
“Wonderful! The Chosen Son has appeared. We are all saved. Hahaha.”
All the Restoration Society warriors showed blissful smiles of survivors.
…
When Ling Xiao’s terrifying killing intent swept towards the sea clan warriors, they were clearly affected. Each one showed panic and shock.
They could feel what this powerful killing intent signified.
The youth before them was absolutely no ordinary martial artist. He was a demon who had slaughtered countless lives.
That brief moment of chaos was, for Ling Xiao, the perfect opportunity.
For the sea clan warriors, however, it was utter doomsday!
The Taotie Doomsday that Ling Xiao had been charging for so long was unleashed without reservation.
A gigantic Taotie roared as it charged into the crowd.
The first to bear the brunt was a Ten Directions Heaven sea clan warrior at the front.
In the blink of an eye, the entire person was swallowed whole by the enormous Taotie. Not even flesh or blood remained.
A complete one-sided massacre!
The corners of Ling Xiao’s mouth revealed an indifferent smile. All the talking he had done earlier was not for fun. If the fully charged Taotie Doomsday did not kill a large swathe of enemies, it would be an insult to his attack.
Screams wove together into a chorus.
Death became the dominant melody here.
Just one strike!
One Ten Directions Heaven warrior fell, and more than a dozen warriors above Five Elements Heaven were reduced to nothing.
That was Ling Xiao’s achievement.
And it was only a single move.
Sudden!
Overwhelming!
Devastatingly effective!
Watching Ling Xiao standing there like a god of war, every Restoration Society warrior was dumbfounded.
They had imagined Ling Xiao was strong.
But none had expected this kind of scene.
Even a martial artist who had just entered Cave Heaven Realm could not possibly create such a horrifying spectacle against so many Celestial Realm warriors, could they?
No matter what, the enemy had four Ten Directions Heaven warriors.
The rest were all at least Five Elements Heaven or higher.
Yet beneath Ling Xiao’s hands, they were like puppets, utterly powerless to resist.
Just one move!
It caused more than ten warriors to vanish completely.
The most terrifying part was that among them was actually a Ten Directions Heaven warrior.
What on earth was this fellow’s cultivation level?
Neither Yue Qin nor Liu Chuang could understand any longer. They were completely stunned.
Yet the battle did not end there.
In the next instant, Ling Xiao’s body transformed into a streak of light interwoven with black and white, then vanished entirely.
When he reappeared, another Ten Directions Heaven warrior had been pierced clean through the body and was dead beyond dead.
Ling Xiao was like a ghostly phantom wielding the power of light.
Unblockable!
Uncatchable!
…
“Don’t panic, everyone! Form the battle array and protect each other!”
The sea clan warriors did not collapse immediately.
After a brief moment of fear and disarray, they quickly organised a new offensive.
A battle array was an extremely flexible formation. By cooperating, martial artists could create a special array that not only boosted relevant attributes but also allowed them to support one another, preventing them from being defeated individually.
Ling Xiao’s performance had been far too dazzling, so the sea clan warriors realised they could no longer charge blindly. If they did, they would definitely be picked off one by one by Ling Xiao and all die here.
“Flood Dragon Beast Hunting Array!”
A very simple battle array.
Yet it possessed considerable combat strength.
The formation resembled a flood dragon, led by the remaining two Ten Directions Heaven warriors, with the other warriors following behind. They could both assist the two leaders and be protected by them.
It would truly be difficult for Ling Xiao to pick them off individually now.
“If I can’t pick them off one by one, then I’ll just destroy the entire flood dragon!”
Ling Xiao gave a cold laugh and finally drew his Golden Crow Sword.
Killing intent gathered on the blade, even stronger than before.
“Who would have thought he was still holding back? Just what is this fellow’s cultivation level? I heard that when the Chosen Son left the Tianlong Continent, he wasn’t even a Celestial Realm warrior yet.”
Liu Chuang said in shock.
“I heard that when he left, he should already have been at the First Line Heaven stage.”
Yue Qin replied.
“Even so, how long has he been gone? Less than a year, right? How on earth does he cultivate? Is he still human?”
Liu Chuang simply could not believe it.
