Just as Ling Xiao was preparing to have a big battle with that corporal, the corporal actually moved first.
In just the blink of an eye, the opponent had already reached Ling Xiao’s front. The weapon in his hand was a strange steel knife, flashing with a water-blue light.
On the steel knife, power erupted like giant waves crashing. It chopped down directly towards Ling Xiao’s head.
Ling Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly.
This was really beyond his expectations.
However, his reaction was extremely swift. He swung the Rain-Covering Sword and directly blocked it.
Boom!
Crack!
After the knife and sword collided, the ground where Ling Xiao stood actually cracked open, revealing the soft soil below.
“Angry Wind Like a Shuttle!”
Ling Xiao held the Rain-Covering Sword in his right hand to block the opponent’s attack. The Angry Wind Sword appeared in his left hand, and he attacked with a special move that came with it.
This move was valuable for its speed; it was fast enough and swift enough.
He originally thought that once this move was executed, even if it could not injure the opponent, it could knock the opponent back. Then he could wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
But what Ling Xiao did not expect was that the corporal opposite had a speed not slower than his. With a sharp dagger in his left hand, he blocked his sword move.
Bang! Crack!
Ling Xiao felt his legs sink into the ground by about a foot, while the corporal was also knocked flying and embedded into the roof.
“Interesting. These things appearing here seem able to learn some of the opponent’s abilities. Although not completely, once a warrior panics because of this, they are doomed to lose!”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, retracted his dual swords, and executed a move of the Hell Dragon Sword. The black-gold qi sword stabbed towards the corporal still stuck in the roof.
He wanted to see just how strong this guy could be.
Who would have thought that although this guy was stuck, he actually put away his weapon. He punched out with both fists, and a white shark condensed from true essence crashed towards Ling Xiao’s Hell Dragon Sword.
Boom!
The Hell Dragon Sword was actually smashed into pieces, but the white shark continued to pounce over.
“Interesting!”
Ling Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly again. He condensed the Hell Dragon Sword once more, but this time it contained powerful destructive will.
The corporal seemed to sense the terror of this attack. He took out the knife again, condensed true essence, and slashed out with one strike.
The knife qi was extremely sharp. Ling Xiao absolutely believed that this strike could hack a seventy percent power half-step Celestial Venerable to death without question.
Even a warrior of equal strength, facing this strike, would absolutely not dare to confront it head-on. Otherwise, they would definitely suffer severe injuries.
However, Ling Xiao was not an ordinary person after all.
The destructive will also instantly rose to the fourth layer, outputting at full power.
On the Hell Dragon Sword, the black flames rose even more fiercely, and even the sword body became larger than before.
Boom!
The Hell Dragon Sword, with fourth-layer destructive will and full ten-success power, finally shattered that knife qi. Then the corporal was also pierced through, turning into black mist that merged into Ling Xiao’s body.
In an instant!
The sword qi shattered the opponent’s treasured sword, and the white light shadow turned into white light accordingly.
“Such pure true essence. It can completely fuse with my own true essence without any transformation at all. This place is simply a holy land for cultivators!”
Ling Xiao could not help but get excited.
Of course, the most wonderful thing was not actually this, but he discovered that his martial meridians were beginning to undergo some changes because of this true essence.
Fusion signs appeared between the adjacent martial meridians.
After fusion, the energy did not decrease, but the space in the martial meridians would become much larger.
“Currently, four martial meridians have completely fused. If things go well, after this trip to the True Demon Forbidden Land, my cultivation might directly advance to the Heaven-Human Realm. That would be fun.”
Ling Xiao never felt that advancing to the Heaven-Human Realm was bullying others.
Because he did not believe that the Six Young Masters of the Sacred Dynasty would wait for others to catch up.
Although he extremely disliked that Holy Son, the Holy Son’s aptitude was undeniable. Only by continuously enhancing his cultivation would he have more assurance in the battle with the Holy Son later.
Whoosh!
A qi sword shot out, directly piercing through the nearby wall.
His cultivation broke through again: seventy percent power half-step Celestial Venerable!
This had not even reached the end, and it was already like this.
If that Tang Jiu were still alive, Ling Xiao believed that with his current self, he had a hundred percent chance to defeat him. Moreover, the process used would not exceed fifty moves!
He had already defeated the corporal, while most people had stopped in front of the fifth-level soldiers.
In the face of the terrifying strength of these fifth-level soldiers, people were continuously eliminated.
Finally, the number was left with only over one hundred and fifty.
The top one hundred and fifty were qualified to participate in the finals.
Because of this, everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.
But when they encountered the corporal, in just an instant, over a hundred more people were directly eliminated.
The remaining were less than fifty.
On the Moon Flower Sect’s side, Dai Yuling and Leng Hao were helplessly eliminated.
“Sorry, Sect Master. We have also been eliminated.”
Leng Hao said this, but his face could not hide the excitement.
His current cultivation was actually at fifty percent power half-step Celestial Venerable.
Dai Yuling’s situation was similar.
The two’s cultivation had improved too quickly. It was just a bit regrettable that they did not continue to persist. Otherwise, the benefits they got would definitely be more.
“No need to think too much. Your gains are already very great. Moreover, being able to come back alive is progress in itself!”
These words were not just consolation, but fact.
After all, when these two participated in the preliminaries, their strength was not considered strong. Wu Xiang never expected them to go all the way to now. This was already a pleasant surprise.
“Now, our Moon Flower Sect only has Ling Xiao and Lan Yu’er left. How are their situations?”
Wu Xiang was most looking forward to Ling Xiao.
This junior brother of his always created astonishing miracles. He wondered what amazing things he could do this time.
“Sect Master, you can rest assured. Senior Sister Lan probably has gained a lot. Her own cultivation is very strong, plus she has a special constitution. This time when she comes out, I’m afraid she will give you a big surprise.”
Dai Yuling smiled and said: “As for Ling Xiao, there is even less need to worry. He will probably become the biggest dark horse in this preliminaries. No one would think of his terrifying growth speed.”
Beside him, Leng Hao could not hold back. He directly transmitted to Wu Xiang: “Sect Master, let me tell you something. Bi Shui Divine Palace’s Wan She, Heavenly King Gate’s Luo Tianyu, Tang Gate’s Tang Jiu, were all killed by Senior Brother Ling. Oh, and he also took care of that Ao Chu from Sword King Sect along the way.”
“Well done!”
Wu Xiang could not help but show a look of joy.
He understood the situations of these few people. They were not ordinary, and they were cruel and vicious. Wu Xiang could even imagine why Ling Xiao wanted to kill them.
“This matter, do not tell others for now, to avoid unnecessary complications!”
Although Wu Xiang was happy, he also knew the seriousness of the situation.
Heavenly King Gate, Tang Gate, Bi Shui Divine Palace; none of them were easy to provoke.
Fortunately, except for Tang Jiu’s death being more eye-catching, when the others died, either no one knew, or not many people knew.
Even if someone said it, there was no real evidence.
