Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Shadow Fire Confrontation

”Son of a bitch, I will kill you!”

Perhaps anger and roaring could reduce the Duke of Eastern Province’s fear somewhat.

His voice drowned out all other noises in the Xianglong Business Firm, like the roar of a wild beast.

No matter what method Ling Xiao used, he now had no way out; only by killing Ling Xiao could his fear be truly diminished.

This time, he poured all his energy from the Netherfire Ghost Slash into his attack.

Suddenly, a gigantic hand descended from the sky and viciously slammed onto Ling Xiao.

At this moment, Ling Xiao, having launched two consecutive attacks, was in a weakened state and could not dodge.

The enormous hand, made of pitch-black netherfire, pinned Ling Xiao to the ground.

Pfft!

Once again, Ling Xiao was injured, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning considerably paler.

Although he was protected by the Light and Shadow Battle Armor, his inner strength was ultimately limited, most of it having been spent on the attacks earlier, and his battle armor was now weak.

Injury was inevitable.

And this was already the best-case scenario.

For an ordinary Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, a blow from the Duke of Eastern Province might have been fatal.

”Die, die, die! Now let’s see what you can do!”

The Duke of Eastern Province felt that he had Ling Xiao under control and that Ling Xiao could no longer launch any attacks, which greatly reduced his fear.

Accelerating towards Ling Xiao, the Duke of Eastern Province planned to completely finish him off, not wanting to prolong the fight.

Ling Xiao, this young man, possessed terrifying potential that he did not have; almost every time he was knocked down, he would stand up again, unleashing even more fearsome energy.

He must end the battle quickly.

Boom!

The huge Netherfire Hand was impacted!

Boom!

Another massive shock hit the Netherfire Hand.

Even though Ling Xiao was pinned to the ground, he still possessed terrifying power to resist the huge Netherfire Hand.

Boom!

Once again, the Netherfire Hand cracked.

The light around Ling Xiao did not diminish; instead, it grew stronger again.

Continuous breakthrough?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had seen fast breakthroughs in cultivation levels, but had never seen anything like this—a single fight advancing from early to intermediate stage of Nine Heavy Heaven was impressive enough.

But what was this?

Another breakthrough?

Late stage of Nine Heavy Heaven?

Boom!

Finally, streaks of light pierced through the Netherfire Hand, shattering the massive palm.

The Duke of Eastern Province was only briefly stunned, and in that moment, Ling Xiao broke free from his powerful controlling technique.

”Duke of Eastern Province, bring out whatever moves you have left. Today, I will make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly!”

At this moment, facing the Duke of Eastern Province, Ling Xiao’s confidence increased a lot.

The Duke of Eastern Province had first been injured by Wu Xiang, and then Ling Xiao had left many wounds on him; it seemed not to be a big issue, but actually, as time passed, he had become riddled with holes, his strength severely decreased.

After Ling Xiao used the Void Shadow Crocodile to sneak attack and bite off one of the Duke of Eastern Province’s arms, the Duke of Eastern Province actually had no advantage in front of Ling Xiao.

Now, Ling Xiao didn’t need to resort to any strategems.

Next, he would clash with the Duke of Eastern Province with absolute power.

The Purple Lightning Sword was put away, and the Golden Crow Sword pointed at the Duke of Eastern Province.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth.

A huge monstrous shadow appeared behind him, the Tao Tie emitting a bone-chilling roar.

”A head-on confrontation? You think I would be afraid of you?”

What the Duke of Eastern Province feared most was Ling Xiao’s unpredictable attacks; facing Ling Xiao’s direct, strong attacks, he, on the other hand, was not afraid.

Now, as Ling Xiao showed a posture of direct confrontation.

What was there to fear?

Even Wu Xiang felt that it was unwise for Ling Xiao to abandon his advantage for such a method of combat.

But he said nothing.

He believed that whatever his junior martial brother did, there was a reason for it.

Since a head-on clash was chosen, there must be a reason for it.

He chose to trust unconditionally.

The martial artists of the City Lord’s Mansion burst into jeers.

”Duke of Eastern Province, since that kid is seeking death, let’s send him on his way.”

”That’s right, kill him!”

”Kill that idiot!”

They all thought that Ling Xiao, after continuously gaining the upper hand, became somewhat arrogant and reckless, which was why he chose such a method of combat.

It was foolish, but they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Because now, Ling Xiao was done for.

”Netherfire Ghost Slash!”

In fact, without these people saying it, the Duke of Eastern Province had already planned to do that, his fear stemming not from Ling Xiao’s strength, but from Ling Xiao’s terrifying and unknown attacks.

Therefore, he was not afraid in the slightest to fight strength with strength.

”Gluttonous Apocalypse!”

Facing the Duke of Eastern Province, Ling Xiao was also unafraid.

He trusted his own analysis.

The current Duke of Eastern Province was no longer the same as at the beginning.

This strike of his could completely crush his opponent!

When the terrifying giant beast roared along the direction of the Golden Crow Sword and pounced towards the Duke of Eastern Province, the Duke suddenly found the netherfire on his Blackblade retreating.

It was a momentary reaction; giving up the attack was already impossible.

”Boom!”

The clash of the sword and the blade.

The black netherfire versus the Mystery of the Shadow.

The clash was so crisp, so loud.

At this moment, the ground where both stood began to crack inch by inch, followed by a series of explosive noises as slabs of stone completely turned into dust.

The black flames intertwined with the eerie shadow, producing immense destructive power, as if some monster had trampled through here.

Everyone around the battlefield fell silent, watching the two figures enveloped in energy and dust with shocked eyes.

How was the battle?

Who won?

These were questions that concerned everyone.

Despite the terrifying pressure making it painful even to breathe, and the skin feeling the agony of being slashed by the energy,

they had no intention of leaving.

This battle was crucial to the survival of the Revival Meeting.

It also mattered to the dignity of Lanton City Lord’s Mansion.

As the dust settled, the figures of the two appeared in their sight.

The Duke of Eastern Province, still in the pose of holding his blade, suddenly burst into a loud laughter looking up to the sky.

While Ling Xiao stood there, supporting himself on the Golden Crow Sword, his complexion extremely unsightly, his body still trembling incessantly.

His eyes, mouth, ears, and nostrils were all filled with blood, looking extremely miserable.

Watching this scene, the hearts of the martial artists of the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly completely sank.

It was brutal!

Yet in the end, it was all for naught, a defeat still.

”Protect Ling Xiao, we must not let him die!”

Wu Xiang struggled to stand up.

Although Ling Xiao was defeated, they could not give up, even if all of them died here, they could not let the hope of the Sacred Dynasty, and let their good brother be buried.

”Yes!”

At this moment, although the martial artists of the Revival Meeting were disappointed, they had no intention of retreating.

The battle had reached this point; although Ling Xiao had lost, he had also severely injured the Duke of Eastern Province. As long as they dared to fight, this battle could definitely still be won.
