Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 748: Chapter 748 Golden Silkworm Transformation_1

The higher-ups of the Sword King Sect had also been monitoring the movements of the Moon Hua Sect, and they hadn’t left because they were waiting for Ling Xiao to come out.

”Master, is it possible that Ling Xiao was killed by Li Youdao inside? If so, that would be his retribution!”

Chen Meng said.

Chen Nanxing shook his head and replied, ”When Jian Feng was eliminated, he mentioned that he had sensed Ling Xiao’s presence, so the youngster is probably not dead.

Moreover, Ying Wu Ya from the Beast King Palace also said he had seen Ling Xiao. This fact is likely to be true, so that youngster is probably searching for treasures by now.”

”Treasures?”

Chen Meng and Jian Feng were both somewhat puzzled.

Neither of them had managed to break through the final barrier.

Jian Feng lost to a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, having a slightly better outcome than Chen Meng, yet still they both stopped there.

”Yes, according to the rumors, defeating the final Heavenly Realm Martial Artist will unlock the Life and Death Gate, and choosing to enter the Death Gate will yield a precious treasure!”

Chen Nanxing pondered, ”The treasures inside, even the least valuable of the Martial Arts Secret Books are of Yu Pin and considered rare treasures. They are esteemed treasures capable of establishing a sect’s reputation among the Twelve Sects. The worst weapon one could receive is an Immortal-grade Treasure, and if someone is lucky, they might even obtain a Divine Artifact.”

”How could this be, one for each person, six people makes six treasures? I just saw Yan Lie Huo come out with a Long Spear, he must have obtained a treasure, and the remaining five won’t be snatched away by the others inside, right?”

Chen Meng said anxiously.

Chen Nanxing frowned, ”It doesn’t matter if other people get them, but I’m afraid if that Ling Xiao gets them. This child, with just the cultivation of the Transcendent Realm, has already caused our Sword King Sect to be in a sorry state. If we let him grow, I’m afraid our Sword King Sect will truly be done for.”

”What should we do?”

Chen Meng asked urgently.

”Hmph, the strength of the Sword King Sect is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Our ’Assassin Hall’ is not to be trifled with. The Elders of Assassin Hall practice sword techniques designed to kill. If this youngster comes out alive this time, we must deploy them all to kill him!”

When it came to the Sword King Sect’s Assassin Hall, many martial artists were scared to death.

It was said that there were only five Elders in the Sword King Sect’s Assassin Hall, all practicing the Slaughter Sword Technique.

Each of their sword moves was incredibly fierce, all being experts of the Heavenly Realm.

One alone would suffice to leave Ling Xiao with no place to be buried, and this time Chen Nanxing planned to dispatch all five, indeed viewing Ling Xiao as a formidable opponent.

The Assassin Hall was also the Sword King Sect’s last resort. If these five people were to die, then the sect’s destruction would not be far off.

The reason why the people of the rivers and lakes were wary of the Sword King Sect wasn’t really because of Chen Nanxing, but because of these five individuals.

Though they were not as powerful as Chen Nanxing, their ability to appear and disappear without a trace, elusive and unpredictable, meant that having offended them, you might not find peace even when sleeping or eating.

...

Within the True Demon Forbidden Land, Ling Xiao was unaware of the intentions of the Southern Three Sects and the Sword King Sect; he was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Li Youdao.

The growth of Li Youdao surprised him a little, seeming to have had some sort of encounter on the journey before, or else there was no way he could have advanced to this extent.

More surprised than him, actually, was Li Youdao himself.

Li Youdao would never have anticipated that even after his considerable increase in strength and becoming a Heavenly Pulse Warrior, he would still be unable to defeat Ling Xiao and was instead constantly restrained.

How is this possible?

He found it truly unbelievable.

Watching the terrifying golden sword Qi coming towards him, with each golden beam possessing the power to shatter stone, he couldn’t help but feel an intense desire to kill rise within him.

Ling Xiao’s growth filled him with envy and an unprecedented fear.

He had to kill Ling Xiao here, or else there would be no chance in the future.

Although unwilling to admit it, Ling Xiao was indeed far more formidable than he had imagined.

”Golden Silkworm Transformation! Break for me!”

Suddenly, Li Youdao’s aura changed, and his whole body was enveloped in golden light. The phantom of the Golden Silkworm Gu behind him disappeared, replaced by changes to his body.

His body actually took on the appearance of the Golden Silkworm, with his own strength soaring by a full seventy percent.

With just a single palm strike, the overwhelming palm force blocked all the sword qi, which shattered like glass upon striking stone.

”Oh? I didn’t expect you to have learned the method of Martial Soul Transformation as well. Is this the Golden Silkworm Body? And to think it’s the seventh form, quite impressive.”

Ling Xiao praised with his words, but his heart was somewhat disdainful.

After Li Youdao transformed into the Golden Silkworm Body, his strength greatly increased, but such transformations had been seen by Ling Xiao more than once.

Tyrant Sky Tiger and Ying Wu Ya had both used it before.

This seemed to be a special combat method available to animal spirit Martial Souls.

Ling Xiao’s Human-Dragon Form was similar, but it was obviously more powerful, and it also allowed the use of Dragon Clan Martial Arts.

The Rising Sun Sword Qi crushed the palm force of Li Youdao.

Li Youdao, seizing the initiative, leaped forward, and behind him, thin wings of golden hue fluttered rapidly.

One terrifying palm force after another bombarded Ling Xiao.

Within those purple-black hands, a special poison Gu was contained, and being stamped with one would undoubtedly lead to great trouble.

However, Ling Xiao merely smiled faintly, completely unconcerned.

”Human-Dragon, First Form!”

”Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger!”

”Dragon Roar!”

Ling Xiao too entered the Human-Dragon Form, but only the first form. He felt that using this first form was enough to defeat Li Youdao.

As he entered the Human-Dragon Form, Ling Xiao was able also to use the Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger, with the Dragon Roar available as well.

Both having entered their Martial Soul Transformation forms, Ling Xiao was clearly more formidable. Facing the plethora of palm shadows hurled by Li Youdao, he not only did not retreat but took out the Rainfall Sword and launched an attack.

The Rainfall Sword in his hand emitted sword qi that was stunningly brilliant.

In just an instant, the myriad palm shadows were shredded.

Li Youdao had only recently grasped the Martial Soul Transformation, and his mastery of it was not yet so impressive. Against Ling Xiao’s Human-Dragon Form, how could he resist?

Seeing his palm shadows broken, he quickly retreated. At the same time, a phantom of the Golden Silkworm Gu emerged in front of him, used with all his might for defense.

Despite his desperate defense, Li Youdao still spat out a mouthful of black blood, evidently having sustained very serious internal injuries.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to pursue and put Li Youdao in a deadly situation, a blood-red light suddenly shot towards them.

Ling Xiao withdrew to dodge it. Although he was unharmed, he had missed the best opportunity to pursue.

”Heh heh, Li Youdao, seems like you’re not doing so well, not even having the qualification to perish together with this youngster. Do you need me to help you out?”

A figure emerged from the darkness; it was Ya Qian Xue, who had completely recovered.

He had actually arrived early, intending to wait for Ling Xiao and Li Youdao to both be injured before reaping the benefits like a fisherman.

However, Ling Xiao’s combat power far exceeded his expectations, and Li Youdao was beaten to the point of spitting blood after just a few exchanges.

He had no choice but to launch a sneak attack, but sadly, even that failed to hit its mark.
