Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: All Three Souls Emerge_1

”Die, you wench!”

Meng’s prowess, bolstered by the Giant Sword Heroic Spirit, suddenly strengthened every move he made, definitely overpowering Ling Yi Xue.

The lethal strike he had been accumulating was finally unleashed, as he swung the giant sword at Ling Yi Xue’s head.

The massive sword was nearly two meters long and about a foot wide; a hit anywhere would likely cleave Ling Yi Xue in two.

However, just at that moment, a sword light tore through the sky.

It struck precisely at the weakest part of the giant sword.

While it wasn’t enough to send the giant sword flying, it did significantly reduce the power of the strike, allowing Ling Yi Xue to easily block it.

”Damned brat!”

Meng finally realized that there were not three, but four of them; the youth hiding at a distance was incredibly troublesome.

He was adept at the Sword Control Technique, a skill not commonly mastered to such a degree.

After a moment’s thought, Meng’s body separated from the Heroic Spirit; leaving the spirit to continue entangling Ling Yi Xue, he himself lunged at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao sneered inwardly. Although Martial Soul, Heroic Spirits, Ninja Spirit, and the like could separate from the main body to fight in coordination, the downside was that the main container would lose the enhancements from these powers.

In other words, this Meng from the Green-eyed Clan had voluntarily abandoned his advantage. Without his damaged Heroic Spirit, his threat to Ling Xiao was at its lowest.

It could be said that this was Meng’s most foolish act. He clearly underestimated Ling Xiao’s strength, treating Ling Xiao as an ordinary Martial Artist at the sixth layer of Martial Meridians.

After all, Ling Xiao was displaying the power of a Martial Meridian Sixth Layer Late Stage.

In Meng’s view, Ling Xiao might be skilled in sneak attacks, and would be helpless once brought into close quarters.

This speculation led him to make a foolish and dangerous move.

Sky Soaring Slash!

Meng suddenly leapt up, the giant sword raised high in the air. Gang Qi surged around the blade, causing the air to ”whoosh” loudly.

Gales howled suddenly, sending twigs, leaves, and fragments of stone flying in all directions.

This strike appeared unremarkable, but Ling Xiao understood that the downward swing of such a huge sword, much like a gigantic axe, could be terrifyingly powerful.

This was a blow from a Martial Pulse Seventh Level Initial Stage Martial Master, a rare top-level Martial Arts mastered to perfection!

A Martial Master is a Martial Master, after all, with far greater comprehension of Martial Arts than that of an ordinary Martial Artist.

However, no matter how powerful the Martial Art, if it doesn’t hit, it’s meaningless.

Without changing his expression, Ling Xiao lightly kicked off the ground with his right foot, transforming into an Ice Dragon soaring upwards, easily evading the incoming attack.

”What!”

Meng was shocked by Ling Xiao’s movement technique.

Wielders of huge swords, large axes, and similar weapons often moved more sluggishly, and they detested encountering martial artists with exceptional movement techniques like Ling Xiao.

But, shock aside, he was a Martial Master who had encountered agile martial artists before.

He had racked his brains for a method to counter such fighters and had come up with a solution.

Taking a deep breath, he raised the giant sword as if it were a long spear, directly aiming at Ling Xiao’s position.

Sword Qi Across the Sky!

The terror of a Martial Master lies not only in their stronger attacks, but more importantly, their Gang Qi is completely transformed into True Essence, resulting in more abundant internal energy.

Using sword qi attacks like this consumes a great deal of True Essence, which is not cost-efficient for warriors at the Gang Qi Stage.

But Martial Masters don’t have that concern.

Especially when burning True Essence, the sword qi is not only fast but can also be unleashed in rapid succession.

Meng stood there, hugging the giant sword, his body motionless. He only needed to aim at Ling Xiao and stimulate his True Essence; bursts of sword qi would shoot out from the giant sword, overwhelming Ling Xiao like a barrage.

”So it can be done this way!”

When Ling Xiao saw this, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

No matter how fast his movement technique was, it couldn’t outpace these sword qi; after all, his body couldn’t compare to the lightness of sword qi.

So he decided not to dodge any longer.

Had Meng closed in for close combat, Ling Xiao would have hesitated to clash head-on.

But such sword qi from afar, inherently weaker in power, would be devastating to an ordinary warrior at the Martial Vein Sixth Layer Peak, yet their impact on him was insignificant.

But could he, Ling Xiao, do the same?

”Ox Demon Technique: Ice Demon!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Successive booming sounds exploded on Ling Xiao’s body.

An expression of smug satisfaction appeared on Meng’s face.

”Hahaha, die, die, you stinking brat, thinking you can cause trouble at the Fantasy Pill Factory with just your Body Movement Technique, you’re simply courting death.”

After bombarding for a short while, feeling that it was about enough, Meng stopped the assault.

However, as the dust cleared, his face, originally twisted in manic laughter, now looked as if he had swallowed a goose egg.

His mouth was agape enough to fit a mouse.

His eyes bulged out even more.

Not only had Ling Xiao not died, but he was also completely unharmed.

”Not bad, your remote sword qi is indeed powerful, but it’s not enough to deal with me, far from enough.”

With the Ice Demon combined with the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique, Ling Xiao was not afraid of this kind of remote sword qi at all.

Even if the adversary was a Martial Pulse Seventh Level Initial Stage Martial Master.

After all, any energy that travels through space will suffer energy loss.

Besides, this move, in pursuit of speed and quantity, greatly reduces its power. How could it possibly harm Ling Xiao?

This time, Meng was utterly out of options.

In close combat, his attacks could indeed crush Ling Xiao, but the problem was that Ling Xiao’s movement was too fast, and he couldn’t hit him.

With remote sword qi, he could hit Ling Xiao, but because of the low power, it could not cause any substantial damage to Ling Xiao.

He thought of running away.

This kid was too troublesome, he had to cooperate with his boss to attack, or else he might indeed end up capsizing in the gutter.

But could he escape?

The moment he harbored the thought of fleeing, he found that Ling Xiao had actually launched an attack.

Has this kid lost his mind?

In close combat, do you really think I would be afraid of you?

Meng was indeed like his name suggested—although not stupid, he was not particularly clever either. He simply could not understand why Ling Xiao would abandon his advantage to get close to him.

All he knew was that his chance to kill this kid had come.

If you want to die, then I’ll grant you your wish!

Meng aimed his giant sword at Ling Xiao once again, but this time he did not use remote sword qi.

Charge Thrust!

Meng’s body suddenly leaned forward, lunging at Ling Xiao with considerable speed.

Although this speed was still slower than Ling Xiao’s, and it couldn’t compare to the remote sword qi, this move was meant to strengthen the lethality of the sword thrust.

The farther the distance, the more terrifying the force, whereas at a closer distance, the power diminished.

Ling Xiao didn’t retreat. He also drew out his Ice Glass Sword and lunged forward.

Shadow King Kill!

The ultimate technique of the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique was unleashed.

Facing a Martial Pulse Seventh Level Initial Stage Martial Master, Ling Xiao had no intention of holding back. This was a rare opportunity, even if he couldn’t kill his opponent, he had to inflict serious injury.

Clang!

The giant sword clashed with the longsword midway.

Ling Xiao had no plans to employ any fancy tricks because at that moment, the air around the giant sword was filled with destructive sword qi.

If he attempted to bypass the giant sword and attack the opponent’s body directly, it would simply be a suicide mission.

He had to block the opponent’s attack while delivering a heavy blow.

Strength against strength!

Head-on clash!

In that instant, three phantoms appeared behind Ling Xiao—the Dark Cloud, the Cherry Tree, and the Ghost Ship.
