Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: One-on-One with the Demon Emperor

Ling Xiao activated the Mysteries of Light within his Crimson Sun Feather Robe, and the scorching heat began to melt the surrounding cold, gradually restoring much of his speed.

This scene took Jiao Batian by surprise.

He really hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to come up with a way to counter his Coldstream Heavenly Realm so quickly.

But even so, within this Cave Realm, he still had the advantage in both speed and strength.

This was beyond question.

”Jiao Batian, do you really want to fight with me to the bitter end? I’ve said it before, I only want the Soul Armor, and I will give you enough in return.”

Ling Xiao drew the Golden Crow Sword, observing the surroundings carefully.

Within this Cave Realm, Jiao Batian was like a Flood Dragon within the depths of the sea, elusive as a phantom. Ling Xiao had to be extra cautious; a moment of inattention could cost him his life.

This was a battle of great disparity in strength.

What Ling Xiao had to do was to fight with all his might and main.

”Enough talk. To intrude into the Imperial Palace in the dead of night is already a capital offense. And you still harbor delusions of obtaining something from me, what wishful thinking!”

From within the pitch-black currents, Jiao Batian’s cold voice emerged: ”Today, you will surely die!”

”It looks like the issue can’t be resolved peacefully, so it seems I must resort to force!”

Ling Xiao clenched his teeth and suddenly felt danger approaching from behind.

Without looking back, his Golden Crow Sword swept behind him, and a Golden Crow burst forth through the water.

Bang!

Crack crack crack!

The Golden Crow collided with over a dozen diamond-shaped ice spears, which burst upon impact, instantly extinguishing the Golden Crow.

A chilling cold attacked Ling Xiao directly.

But by this point, the chill had already mostly dissipated. Faced with the barrier of the Crimson Sun Feather Robe, it turned fierce hot and then vanished without a trace.

”Good lad, indeed you have some skills. No wonder you dare to break alone into my palace.”

After that probing attack, Jiao Batian confirmed that Ling Xiao had come alone, and he was also somewhat surprised.

Ling Xiao was clearly just a martial artist in the early stages of Nine Heavy Heaven, yet he seemed more difficult to deal with than many Half-step Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists.

The blazing aura that enveloped him was able to rapidly push back the chill, making him truly not an easy opponent.

Ling Xiao also made some judgments about Jiao Batian’s strength.

This Jiao Batian definitely had a privileged background. His strength was indeed formidable, but it was somewhat weaker than many of the first Cave Heaven Realm martial artists that Ling Xiao had encountered,

especially when it came to actual combat experience.

If Wu Xiang were here, he could probably finish off Jiao Batian in less than ten moves.

With this judgment in mind, Ling Xiao’s confidence grew stronger.

Taking down the weakest link in the Cave Heaven Realm should not be an issue. If he can’t manage that, it would be a waste of his Tai Chi Eye and the cultivation of the Soul Fragment Scroll.

After observing for a moment, Jiao Batian noted that Ling Xiao did not show even a hint of panic and maintained absolute calm, which made him slightly wary.

But at the same time, he was irritated.

”Although I, Jiao Batian, am not as powerful as the Yin-Yang Demon King or the Lightning Demon King, I am still a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist. Dealing with a little brat like you should be effortless, right?”

Thinking this, Jiao Batian sneered and suddenly whipped up a giant wave, his body turning into a bolt of lightning, and in an instant, he was upon Ling Xiao.

Faced with this sudden attack, Ling Xiao did not panic.

Even though this was Jiao Batian’s Cave Realm, with the Tai Chi Eye, Ling Xiao saw right through everything.

Jiao Batian’s attempt to ambush him was utterly futile.

At the same time as Jiao Batian rushed at him, Ling Xiao’s Golden Crow Sword was already thrusting forward.

On the Golden Crow Sword, a blazing ball of light condensed—

Crimson Sun Cone!

Blinded by the brilliant light for a moment, Jiao Batian internally cried out that this was not good. Although he didn’t know the attacking power of the Crimson Sun Cone, he had already probed some from the previous Golden Crow Eclipse attack.

He must block it.

Once hit by this thing, even as a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist, he would be injured.

He opened his mouth wide and suddenly a cold air quickly gathered, and then it actually formed a thick layer of ice in front of him.

Ice Shield!

”Bang!”

The Crimson Sun Cone fiercely collided with that Ice Shield, its intense rotation carrying high temperatures continuously wearing away, actually beginning to melt and crack the Ice Shield.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Batian was shocked in his heart.

His hastily formed Ice Shield, though not very strong, was still a move from a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist. Could it really not stop this youngster’s attack?

The annoyed Jiao Batian pressed both palms onto the Ice Shield. The whole Coldstream Heavenly Realm actually turned into a giant Flood Dragon and then heavily slammed into it.

Ling Xiao’s complexion slightly changed.

The terrifying impact sent him flying away.

Cave Heaven Realm is indeed Cave Heaven Realm; an exchange of blows still seemed a bit unfavorable.

Watching Ling Xiao being flung away, Jiao Batian couldn’t help but coldly sneer. His hands danced, and then the surrounding area again rapidly condensed dozens of sharp ice spikes, whistling towards Ling Xiao like a storm.

Ling Xiao’s body was still retreating incessantly; under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to dodge.

However, normal circumstances never applied to Ling Xiao.

Body of Light!

The moment he was attacked, Ling Xiao’s body actually dissolved into specks of light scattering away.

All the ice spikes missed their target.

Before Jiao Batian could be astonished, Ling Xiao’s counterattack actually came again.

Light points converged, the human form reformed, and then on the Golden Crow Sword, black and white energies condensed into a cone shape, several times stronger than the previous Crimson Sun Cone.

Light and Shadow Divine Cone!

This ball of energy, like a giant arrow leaving a massive crossbow, pierced through numerous obstacles at an extremely fast speed, shooting towards Jiao Batian who was only a little over ten meters away.

In that instant, Jiao Batian was nearly scared out of his wits.

He had really never expected that not only did Ling Xiao easily break his attack, but he could also suddenly launch an attack on him in this situation.

He had not been holding back from the start; he truly wanted to quickly kill Ling Xiao.

This youngster had brought him far too many surprises.

However, surprise is one thing.

But how could Jiao Batian allow Ling Xiao to run wild here.

Watching the Light and Shadow Divine Cone shooting towards him, Jiao Batian roared, and the entire Coldstream Heavenly Realm’s chill completely condensed together.

The cold chill kept acting on the Light and Shadow Divine Cone, the dense resistance continually pressuring that ball of energy.

The fearsome Light and Shadow Divine Cone still moved forward rapidly under such circumstances, as if it could not be stopped at all.

Cold sweat streamed down Jiao Batian’s forehead in fear.

Ultimately, to his relief, the Light and Shadow Divine Cone came to a stop about a foot away from his head.

Jiao Batian took in a deep breath of cold air.

He had certainly not expected that from the start of this battle, although he clearly held an advantage in a head-on clash,

the problem was, apart from the first exchange, Ling Xiao barely gave him any chance to gather strength for the rest of the time.
