Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 952: Chapter 952: The Strongest Boss

”Hahahaha, kid, you’ve successfully pissed me off, but I don’t appreciate you—now you can die!”

Earth Fire Sky Venerate laughed manically, and from his words, it was clear he was truly enraged.

And it was a burning fury.

”Boss, never underestimate this man. I’ve received news that he has already taken care of the leaders from the first to the fourth ring consecutively. His strength is truly not to be underestimated; he must have some unique moves.”

Xin reminded from the side.

”Can those people compare to me?”

Earth Fire Sky Venerate said disdainfully, ”Xin, although your cultivation level has increased, why has your courage shrunk?”

Xin shook his head helplessly.

He wasn’t sure if his premonition was correct.

But he felt something was off about Ling Xiao;

his cultivation level wasn’t exceptional, yet he demanded caution.

Previously, during his fight with Leng Mei, although he didn’t take Ling Xiao seriously, it’s always best to be cautious—he didn’t want his boss to capsize in the gutter.

Because if the boss fell, he would have no good days left.

”You are indeed powerful, worthy of my drawing the sword!”

Ling Xiao gently touched his storage ring, and the Golden Crow Sword appeared in his hand.

The color was like sunlight, dazzling and unique.

The air around the blade twisted and deformed from the heat it radiated.

”Take my first move!”

Ling Xiao thrust his sword, appearing simple and without any special techniques, merely condensing some of the Mysteries of Light.

He wanted to test the strength of his opponent first.

Common attacks facilitated easy adjustments.

Once a powerful strike was unleashed, retracting it wasn’t so simple.

Whirring!

The red-golden Golden Crow Sword tore through the skies, cleaved the earth, and formed a whip-like streak of golden light, then charged directly at Earth Fire Sky Venerate.

Sizzling!

The earth and air hissed with threads of heat, as if about to evaporate.

”Not bad in power, but still not hot enough to tackle me!”

Earth Fire Sky Venerate sneered, a giant axe appeared in his hand, its surface faintly burning with red-white flames.

Behind him, the cold earth fire continuously surged.

His Martial Soul was indeed Earth Fire, a type of flame stronger than common fire but weaker than holy fire.

Clanging!

Continuous exchanges erupted within the fifth ring’s ravine, where techniques flowed endlessly, and the ground kept erupting from colliding white flames and golden light, instantly turning the vicinity into a pockmarked landscape.

”Interesting, your Earth Fire Martial Soul can even produce bursts akin to Mystic Art. It seems you’re not entirely worthless in Martial Arts, possessing some unique capabilities.”

Ling Xiao observed his opponent while fighting, gaining a deeper understanding of Earth Fire Sky Venerate.

Earth Fire Sky Venerate became increasingly astonished in the face of Ling Xiao.

Up to now, he still didn’t know what Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul actually was.

Not knowing this made targeted attacks impossible.

”No choice, I must force him to reveal his Martial Soul!”

Earth Fire Sky Venerate felt a looming threat and prepared to intensify his attacks.

”Earth Fire Nine Heavy Heaven!”

He swung the giant axe in his hand, the white flames burned more fiercely, and then he viciously chopped it down.

The nine-layered attacks bombarded Ling Xiao consecutively, forming a tide of fierce Earth Fire flames.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

...

The flames burned.

The space twisted.

The earth kept cracking open.

The power of the Earth Fire Sky Venerate’s attack was so terrifying that even Leng Mei, standing nearby, broke out in a sweat.

At the very least, she knew she would definitely not be a match for the Earth Fire Sky Venerate.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao kept retreating, but he managed to block each attack and prevent any injuries to himself.

”Hahaha, interesting!”

As he fought and retreated, Ling Xiao felt the damaging impact of that terrifying energy on his body.

Yet, it was precisely this damage that allowed him to continually adapt to this level of combat power.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

After all, this minor damage was at most a loss of some blood for him and wouldn’t cause any major problems.

The moment the Nine Layers attack ended, Ling Xiao cracked a smile and said, ”Earth Fire Sky Venerate, you’ve had your fun attacking, so now it’s my turn!”

With the Golden Crow Sword in his hand, he managed to condense a Crimson Sun Cone in a short time that was four to five times larger than usual.

He usually used the Crimson Sun Cone without a sword.

Facing the Earth Fire Sky Venerate today and feeling significant pressure, he feared it wouldn’t work without using his sword.

The Crimson Sun Cone was bigger.

The power was naturally greater.

It was as if a bizarre-shaped Red Sun had formed.

”Go!”

With a flick of his sword tip, the Crimson Sun Cone immediately broke through the air.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to turn a golden yellow, completely enveloped by intense heat.

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate even felt as if he had gone blind in that moment, unable to see anything.

In a panic, he exerted 90% of his strength and fiercely swung his giant axe.

Earth Fire Strike!

Boom!

The giant axe collided with the Crimson Sun Cone, producing a deafening noise like an earthquake, startling everyone in the underground factory.

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back more than ten steps, while Ling Xiao stood firmly in place, unmoved.

”You impressive lad, I truly underestimated you; you indeed deserve my full effort!”

Even though the Earth Fire Sky Venerate had spat out blood, he wasn’t seriously injured, as, after all, he was a late-stage Five Elements Sky Martial Artist with considerable physical defense.

”You’re not bad either, your defense is stronger than I anticipated.”

Ling Xiao said lightly.

”Kid, you are truly arrogant, but unfortunately your arrogance won’t last long!”

”Earth Fire Slash - Ninety-Nine Returns to Light!”

Amidst the roar of anger, the Earth Fire Sky Venerate’s attack came again.

His power wasn’t just for show.

Previously, it was merely a Nine Layers attack, but this time, his axe swings reached eighty-one attacks.

More dense than before.

Yet the power didn’t reduce at all.

Each attack was even faster than the last, and if it were up to the leaders of the other four ranks, they would probably have knelt and begged for mercy, admitting defeat by now.

However, Ling Xiao just excitedly smiled and said, ”Bring it on!”

Then, with his right hand holding the sword, the speed of the Golden Crow Sword also increased more and more.

Bang bang bang...

The watching Martial Artists could only see Ling Xiao’s figure flickering amidst the barrage of attacks.

With each flicker, a beautiful flower bloomed.

Those flowers were naturally the explosive blooms created upon impact.

Both the speed and accuracy reached perfection.

Ling Xiao seemed not to be resisting attacks but rather dancing gracefully.

Only his dance was more elegant and free, and also more filled with masculine vigor.

Eighty-one attacks, and Ling Xiao used eighty-one swords to block them all.

Although there were some minor scratches on his body, he didn’t spit out blood, and he seemed even more at ease than when defending against the Nine Layers attack.

This was not because Ling Xiao had grown stronger.

More importantly, it was because Ling Xiao had become increasingly familiar with the Earth Fire Sky Venerate.
