“Little evildoer, you enjoy quite the romantic fortune, do you not? It is a pity that you will never have such blessings again. Meeting me is the greatest sorrow of your life.”
The more the Poison Soul Venerable saw Ling Xiao’s favourable situation, the more jealous and displeased he became.
He was determined to make Ling Xiao lose face in front of everyone.
Especially in front of those three women.
“Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. Before everything is over, no one can say for certain.”
Ling Xiao looked at the Poison Soul Venerable and spoke indifferently.
“To kill you, this old man will not need seven moves. Do you believe it?”
The Poison Soul Venerable had originally intended to say three moves to kill Ling Xiao, but upon second thought, this boy was extremely cunning and could not be underestimated, so he changed three moves to seven.
He believed that killing Ling Xiao in seven moves was absolutely safe.
In any case, Ling Xiao’s helpers were currently all blocked by experts. No one would interfere with him.
“I do not believe it.”
Ling Xiao shook his head and said very calmly. “Perhaps I am no match for you, but to kill me in seven moves? You are daydreaming, are you not?”
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Ling Xiao anymore. Even so, they still could not quite understand where this confidence came from for a Celestial Human Realm warrior facing a third Cave Heaven Realm expert.
“Little evildoer, I know you are arrogant, but soon you will have no chance for that.”
The Poison Soul Venerable knew Ling Xiao and had even experienced the sharpness of his glib tongue, so he had no intention of wasting words.
A sinister aura burst from his body and spread around.
On the ground, an ant crawled past. Suddenly it collapsed and quickly turned into a drop of black water.
Terrifying.
All the surrounding warriors were glad they had retreated far away. Otherwise, within this range, even if they did not end up as miserable as the ant, they would probably be severely injured.
Behind the Poison Soul Venerable, a phantom floated out.
Sinister and indifferent.
It was a creature covered in glistening green, with green poisonous liquid dripping from every part of its body. It looked exactly like a gigantic venomous toad.
“Poison Toad Martial Soul!”
The crowd could not help but tremble.
Although it was not an ancient martial soul, this kind of highly toxic martial soul was the one warriors least wanted to encounter.
Because it was truly troublesome.
The poison toad stared at Ling Xiao with its huge eyes. One could hear the toad’s croaking in the air, accompanied by sinister poisonous gas that genuinely gave the feeling of stepping into a toxic swamp.
“After seven moves, you will certainly die!”
The Poison Soul Venerable did not want to waste time, so he had no intention of holding back. Right from the start, he released his martial soul, the poison toad.
This poison toad martial soul was no longer in its original state. Clearly it had absorbed many other toxins, becoming much stronger.
Even more terrifying.
The other battles also began at the same time, but the watching warriors seemed more interested in the fight between Ling Xiao and the Poison Soul Venerable.
Because in the other battles, at least in terms of cultivation, the opponents were evenly matched. It would probably take a long time to conclude.
But the battle between Ling Xiao and the Poison Soul Venerable was both the least suspenseful and the most suspenseful.
Least suspenseful because the Poison Soul Venerable’s cultivation far exceeded Ling Xiao’s.
Most suspenseful because Ling Xiao was definitely not an ordinary young genius. He was a miracle creator, someone no one could see through.
Moreover, the Poison Soul Venerable claimed to kill Ling Xiao within seven moves, which made the watching warriors even more interested.
What would the situation be after seven moves?
Ling Xiao did not continue talking nonsense. Facing the Poison Soul Venerable, he did not let anyone help him.
Not even Yue Nü, nor Yuan Zun inside his body.
He wanted to test his potential and use this battle with the Poison Soul Venerable to further stimulate his talent.
In an instant, he had entered the state of controlling heaven and earth.
Within his Mountain River World, the entire scene of this long street temporarily appeared.
And all of this was under his control.
This was his world.
His territory.
Now someone wanted to deal with him here, to kill him here. He had every reason to defend his domain.
This was something any male creature had to do.
“Guā~~ guā~~”
The Poison Soul Venerable crouched there, emitting frog croaks from his mouth.
And his aura was clearly gathering strength.
“Boom!”
After a loud explosive sound, the Poison Soul Venerable suddenly shot forward.
The spot where he had been crouching was already shattered into pieces. The bluestone pavement had turned into countless fragments.
In mid-air, the Poison Soul Venerable condensed a huge elemental force poison claw.
This was a poison claw formed from domain elemental force.
It was as large as a millstone and ruthlessly clawed towards Ling Xiao with extreme ferocity and dominance, as if unwilling to leave him any chance to live.
The fierce poison toad croaking continued.
Surprisingly, with each croak from the poison toad, the glow of the poison claw grew brighter.
Watching that enormous poison claw, the crowd let out exclamations.
They believed the Poison Soul Venerable would crush Ling Xiao overwhelmingly.
However, when the green massive poison claw was less than a metre from Ling Xiao, the nails on the claw suddenly shot out.
At such close range, and with the nails flying so quickly.
Basically no Celestial Human Realm warrior could react in time.
The watching warriors were stunned.
“No way. To deal with Ling Xiao, does he need such cunning and insidious tactics?”
They were not unaware that the Poison Soul Venerable was treacherous, with moves that never followed conventional paths.
What they did not understand was why, being so much stronger than Ling Xiao, he still used such low-handed methods. Was this not a bit too degrading?
But even if degrading, the onlookers still felt Ling Xiao was in grave danger. This attack was too sudden, and the sharp emerald-green nails on the giant claw were comparable to the strongest immortal-grade treasures. Even Ling Xiao could not completely dodge or block them at such close range.
What people did not know was that, for Ling Xiao, such tricks were merely superfluous.
In the state of controlling heaven and earth, within this domain, he was god.
Although this god’s power was somewhat weak and could not control most of the forces in this domain.
But it was his territory. Naturally he was more familiar with it and moved with greater ease.
He knew every movement of every element in the air like the back of his hand.
He understood what the Poison Soul Venerable wanted to do better than anyone.
Unless the opponent’s power vastly exceeded his and could break the balance of forces in this domain.
Otherwise, here he was basically invincible.
He might not be able to defeat the opponent, but the opponent could forget about injuring him.
The Poison Soul Venerable’s power was indeed strong, but ultimately he could not break this balance, at least not in a short time.
