Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: There’s Still a Backup Plan

Every attack of Ling Xiao was so sudden and so fierce that Jiao Batian couldn’t use his full strength to fight.

Despite being stronger than Ling Xiao, Jiao Batian was unable to exert his full capabilities and instead was played around by Ling Xiao.

Being an overbearing individual on normal days, nobody could go against Jiao Batian’s will.

But today, he was humiliated by Ling Xiao.

How could he tolerate this grievance?

”Boy, if I don’t kill you today, how am I, Jiao Batian, still qualified to continue being the emperor of the True Demon Empire? Let me show you my true strength!”

With these words, Jiao Batian immediately underwent a transformation.

His human form quickly morphed into that of a strange Flood Dragon.

Yet, the upper body of the Flood Dragon still retained many human characteristics.

After transforming, Jiao Batian didn’t idle around; his enormous tail swung fiercely, carrying a massive weight and explosive power slamming towards Ling Xiao.

In a direct hit, Ling Xiao surely wouldn’t be able to withstand Jiao Batian.

If this tail hit him, Ling Xiao would either be dead or severely injured, becoming an easy target for others.

But that only holds if he were to be hit.

However, would Ling Xiao really be hit?

The answer is no!

In that instant, black and white wings sprouted behind Ling Xiao, and utilizing the Rapid Light Movement beneath his feet, he soared into the air, leaping dozens of meters high, leaving Jiao Batian only a suave figure from behind.

”What kind of Body Movement Technique is this, how can it be so formidable?”

Jiao Batian, missing his attack, furiously slammed his tail onto the ground, creating a large trench that expressed his rage but failed to calm him.

This man who broke into the Imperial Palace late at night was definitely not a common character, and even outside, he must be a standout.

At minimum, a super genius.

”What’s your name?”

Jiao Batian suddenly ceased his attack and asked.

Floating in midair with arms crossed, Ling Xiao smiled and said, ”Only now you think to ask the name of your guest? This is hardly a way to treat a guest.”

”Quit the nonsense, I am sparing you because you have some talent, and I don’t wish to kill you like this.”

Jiao Batian spoke honestly.

The True Demon Empire was quickly growing, and indeed needed talents like this young man before him.

In a few years, he would absolutely become a pivotal support for the True Demon Empire.

”I fear I’ll disappoint you, my name is Ling Xiao, the Chosen Son of Heaven from the Sacred Dynasty! Also, your Plague Demon Lord, Evil Beast Demon King, and the recently deceased Lightning Demon Lord were all slain by me.”

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Since he had already figured out Jiao Batian’s capabilities, Ling Xiao planned to simply go all out and exterminate him.

One could imagine, if the Emperor of the True Demon Empire were to be killed in the Imperial Palace, this news would undoubtedly negatively impact the Empire’s army.

At minimum, it would cause morale to plummet.

”So, it’s you, Ling Xiao, it seems I can’t let you off!”

Hearing Ling Xiao’s self-introduction, murderous intent flashed in Jiao Batian’s eyes.

Now that he knew Ling Xiao’s true identity, how could he possibly let him leave so easily?

Ling Xiao slightly smiled and said, ”It’s not about you sparing me, but today I realized you’re also a soft persimmon, so I plan to crush you.”

With that, Ling Xiao’s aura began to climb rapidly.

Previously, he hadn’t used his full strength, not even tapping into the power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

And at this very moment, his frenzied aura, like a sharp sword, pointed directly at Jiao Batian, with the sun and moon shining together behind him.

”How is this possible, you still have more strength to unleash!”

Watching Ling Xiao’s continuously escalating aura, Jiao Batian’s expression once again fell into astonishment and disbelief.

Perhaps sensing the strength of his opponent, Jiao Batian gently touched his Storage Ring.

A huge trident appeared in his gigantic hand.

Faced with an opponent much lower in Cultivation Level, Jiao Batian resorted to using a weapon, which showed how seriously he took Ling Xiao.

It also showed that he had begun to harbor some fears.

However, Ling Xiao’s aura continued to expand.

The light of the sun and the moon released continuously within the Coldstream, compressing Jiao Batian’s Coldstream Heavenly Realm into nothing more than a sheet of paper.

Without the domain of the Cave Realm, a Cave Heaven Realm expert might not be much stronger than a half-step Cave Realm martial artist.

Ling Xiao essentially leveraged the terrifying effects of the Mountain and River Martial Soul to eliminate Jiao Batian’s advantage.

The ensuing fight would depend on both individuals’ experience and combat skills.

Eye of Light!

Suddenly, from Ling Xiao’s Tai Chi Eye burst forth a blinding light, causing Jiao Batian to instinctively shut his eyes.

And at that very instant he closed his eyes, he knew trouble was coming.

He tried to open his eyes, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

By the time he opened his eyes, Ling Xiao was still standing in the same spot, yet his abdomen had clearly been struck by a sword.

Blood flowed continuously from the wound, and many of his scales were shattered.

”Damn it!”

Ignoring his injuries, Jiao Batian swung the Heaven-supporting Trident in his hand, and numerous water spines condensed into even stronger ice thorns flying towards Ling Xiao.

From all directions, Ling Xiao couldn’t possibly dodge.

But Ling Xiao didn’t even try to dodge; as the Tai Chi Eye rotated, a powerful wave of Soul Power burst forth from within the eyes.

Heaven Burning!

Terrifying flames spread, creating a spectacular scene in the sky.

Crack, crack!

The continuous cracking sounds marked all the ice thorns being burnt into vapor by the scorching flames, then disappearing without a trace.

”Soul Power! A Soul Secret Technique! You couldn’t possibly be from the Soul Clan, could you?”

Jiao Batian was even more shocked.

He couldn’t comprehend how a martial artist capable of executing such a powerful Soul Secret Technique could be anyone but a member of the Soul Clan.

Ling Xiao, however, paid no heed to Jiao Batian’s questions; since the attack had begun, he would not stop.

Light and Shadow Evade!

His figure suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already above Jiao Batian’s head, then his hands thrust the Golden Crow Sword straight down.

An even more dazzling light erupted.

It was a massive lethal weapon intertwined with light and shadow.

The speed was too fast, the angle too tricky, and the attack too sudden.

Faced with this strike, all Jiao Batian could do was to wave the Heaven-supporting Trident in an attempt to intercept the attack midway.

At this point, Jiao Batian had already shed any underestimation of his opponent, facing Ling Xiao’s relentless and strange attacks, all he could do was defend and be alert.

Though frustrated, he had no other choice.

He believed that in a head-on collision, he would still have a definite advantage.

However, Ling Xiao did not grant him that opportunity.

Eye of Darkness!

The Mystic Art of Shadow, the sixth step enlightenment of a technique completely opposite to the Eye of Light.

When deployed, Jiao Batian suddenly felt enveloped in darkness, not knowing where to direct his weapon.

By the time he tried to use his Soul Power to discern Ling Xiao’s position, it was already too late.
