Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Death Space

Perhaps against any martial artist, the Bloody Inferno of the Blood Skeleton could gain some advantage.

But against him, the Blood Skeleton could no longer gain the slightest advantage.

The Mountain and River Martial Soul, encompasses everything.

The vast universe, nothing it does not contain.

After absorbing these energies, they were sealed in an instant and could not cause him any harm.

Hmm?

Witnessing this scene, the Blood Skeleton clearly showed a look of surprise.

However, when one move did not succeed, he did not stop. At this point, his White Bone Armor was already nearly completely wrapped around him.

”White Bone Blood Fiend Fist!”

The Blood Skeleton’s fists roared out again. This time the blood-red flames were even more vigorous, and one could even see some bone spikes integrated within the flames.

The bone spikes would not melt in the fire, but they posed a great threat to Ling Xiao.

”Shadow Cone!”

Ling Xiao flicked his Golden Crow Sword, seemingly without doing much, yet the Shadow Cone had already formed, stabbing towards the Blood Skeleton’s vital points from a very strange angle.

What!

The Blood Skeleton’s reaction was much quicker than Ke Yu’s.

The moment the Shadow Cone formed, he sensed the threat.

What was originally an attack turned into a defense, guided purely by perception, he punched towards the trajectory of the Shadow Cone.

Boom-crack!

The White Bone Blood Fiend Fist struck the Shadow Cone, but it did not make direct contact; the Shadow Cone was still too fast.

And it came without a shadow, left without a trace.

The residual power struck the Blood Skeleton’s body, sending it flying off the Martial Arts Platform.

The Blood Skeleton once again fell below the Martial Arts Platform.

But he was completely unharmed.

His clothes were torn, revealing his body encased in White Bone Armor.

Although this was a battle to the death, even knocking the Blood Skeleton off the Martial Arts Platform did not count as a victory.

Nevertheless, it was undoubtedly clear that in this clash, Ling Xiao had gained the absolute upper hand.

The Blood Skeleton jumped back onto the Martial Arts Platform, speaking with a somewhat unsightly expression, ”It seems I underestimated you a bit. You’re slightly better than those wastes of space, but that’s all you are: fit only to carry my shoes. The battle has only just begun!”

With that said, the Blood Skeleton brought his hands together, and behind him, thirteen skull heads of the same size appeared.

Each skull head exuded an aura of annihilating death, as if it wanted to devour people’s souls.

Thirteen blood-red skull heads, this was probably the origin of the title Blood Skeleton.

To the point where his true name had been forgotten by everyone.

”Skeleton Martial Soul! And he has condensed thirteen skulls. It’s said that the strength of this type of Skeleton Martial Soul is judged by the number of skull heads. It’s difficult for ordinary martial artists to condense even one or two, and he has condensed thirteen; indeed, he is formidable!”

”Ling Xiao’s attack seems to have thoroughly enraged the Blood Skeleton, prompting him to release his true power. Now the fight is not just for show, but a genuine battle to the death!”

”Can Ling Xiao hold on?”

The spectators all became nervous. After all this time, the Blood Skeleton had yet to show his true skills; this just got interesting.

”You’re just a dead duck refusing to admit defeat; unfortunately for you, I’ve only been playing too.”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly. In the void, a gigantic eye emerged.

The pupil of this eye was like a red sun, and the rest of it was black, like the deep universe, exuding a sense of weirdness and mystery.

Naturally, this was the Eye of the World.

Ling Xiao released the Eye of the World, which meant he was about to utilize the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

The Eye of the World is the external manifestation of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, the terminal for the release of power.

Once the Eye of the World opened, all attacks from the Blood Skeleton had nowhere to hide; the cold, deathly Skeleton was fully projected within the sun-like red pupils.

Those pupils reflected back Slaughter Sword Intent, Destruction Sword Intent, and the Mountain River Will!

The Martial Artists, who had been shivering from the Skeleton Martial Soul’s aura of death, suddenly felt much better.

The aura released by the Eye of the World neutralized the aura of death.

”Indeed, a clash of the strong, this makes the battle interesting!”

The spectators, witnessing this scene, grew even more excited; what they most desired to see was a fierce exchange, a thrilling fight.

Neither side could afford to be too weak.

”Good lad, I admit I misspoke just now. Your strength is enough to fight me, but that’s all it is, not enough to make me exert my full power!”

The Blood Skeleton was somewhat surprised by Ling Xiao’s performance.

But it was just that, a surprise.

Although Ling Xiao’s performance was unexpected, it was still within a controllable range, hence he was unconcerned.

”Is that so? However, in my eyes, you’re not even qualified to carry my shoes. If you don’t use your full strength, then I’m about to end this battle!”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

This Blood Skeleton had been talking down to him all along as if he was some great force to be reckoned with.

Such words made Ling Xiao laughable.

”Fine, since you want to die quicker, I’ll grant your wish!”

The Blood Skeleton’s face turned beet red with frustration from Ling Xiao’s remark.

He had intended to torment Ling Xiao first before killing him, to completely dispel his hatred.

However, every attack seemed incapable of embarrassing Ling Xiao.

Furthermore, prompted by Ling Xiao’s comment, he was no longer willing to wait; he was truly about to go all out.

”Skeleton Hell!”

With a cold voice, the Blood Skeleton spoke, and the thirteen Skeleton heads behind him suddenly appeared in front of him, forming into a connected ring of blood-red fire.

The ring of fire grew larger, causing the space within it to change.

Within that space, there were no longer any living things, even elements were completely destroyed; the space turned into a blood-red land of death.

The deathly space then rushed toward Ling Xiao at a rapid pace, intending to envelop him within it, demolish everything he had, and strip him of his vitality.

”What kind of technique is this? I’ve never seen Blood Skeleton use it before, it’s terrifying!”

At that moment, a sparrow unexpectedly flew in from nowhere.

The poor sparrow was still clueless about the danger it faced, and flew straight through the dead space.

The sparrow that reemerged in front of everyone was decaying, its eyes dull, its movements sluggish, having become a true walking corpse.

This was even more terrifying than just killing it.

”What the hell is this!”

The spectators gasped in shock; even the Martial Artists with a higher Cultivation Level than the Blood Skeleton shook their heads in disbelief, swearing they wouldn’t fight the Blood Skeleton even if their lives depended on it.

This fellow was simply a monster.

How could its techniques be so evil, so dangerous.

Dai Yuling, Lan Yu’er, and the others were gripping each other’s hands nervously, trembling.

Although they knew full well Ling Xiao could neutralize such techniques, they were still tremendously anxious.

As the Blood Skeleton released the Skeleton Hell, Ling Xiao was naturally not idle.

A gigantic, fiery Golden Crow Sword formed from Heavenly Origin Power began to swirl above the tip of his sword, growing larger and hotter.
