Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 450: Chapter 450 Pursuers Appear_1

”Aspect of Wind - Condensed Water!”

The Ice Dragon Sword had pierced the enormous magma fireball spit out by the Lava Giant Beast.

The piercingly cold breath clashed with the scorching breath, generating a sky full of steam. For a moment, the entire basin seemed shrouded in dense fog.

At this very moment, Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul Avatar closed in on the 600-year-old Xuanling Grass at breakneck speed, grabbing it in his hand without the Lava Giant Beast noticing.

”Bang!”

However, to Ling Xiao’s surprise, the Lava Giant Beast had actually detected his intention and had even laid an ambush near the 600-year-old Mystic Spirit Grass.

These were more than ten beasts made of molten lava, likely some kind of ability of the Lava Giant Beast.

The strength of these lava-made monsters was not to be underestimated, and coupled with their sudden attack, Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul Avatar almost dropped the 600-year-old Mystic Spirit Grass.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul Avatar had now reached 90% of his strength, equivalent to a Transcendent Realm Four-level Martial Artist!

Facing more than ten Lava Monsters, he quickly stabilized his footing.

Regrettably, he was surrounded, so it was impossible to pass the 600-year-old Mystic Spirit Grass to Ling Xiao’s main body for the time being.

”It looks like you’re really asking for death!”

Ling Xiao had originally planned to steal the Mystic Spirit Grass and leave. He truly did not wish to battle the Lava Giant Beast.

However, the Lava Giant Beast’s actions forced him to strike mercilessly.

Boom~~

The magma fireball exploded in mid-air, and both Ling Xiao and the Lava Giant Beast were forced to take a step back.

Yet, at the same time, behind Ling Xiao, the illusion of a glacier had formed, and the Ice Dragon Sword he held was even more powerful than before.

”Glacier Power - Aspect of Wind - Condensed Water!”

Ling Xiao launched another attack without giving the Lava Giant Beast any chance to catch its breath.

The Lava Giant Beast refused to back down, opening its colossal maw to bite at Ling Xiao directly.

Bang!

The two clashed again, and one of the Lava Giant Beast’s teeth was knocked out, falling to the ground like a massive Dragon-breaking Stone piercing the earth.

This time, Ling Xiao had managed to gain a slight advantage.

”Not enough! Still not enough!”

Ling Xiao flapped his Golden Dragon Wings, employing Cloud Dragon Divine Movement to quickly retreat and then accumulate power again.

In the illusion behind him, a vast ocean had now appeared.

Glacier Power!

Ocean Power!

And then, on the Ice Dragon Sword in his hand, lightning began to flicker.

”Thunder and Lightning Sky Phenomenon - Condensed Water!”

The Heavenly Thunder Phenomenon and the Electromagnetic Phenomenon finally fused together.

The terrifying scene of intermingled thunder and lightning instilled immense fear in the Lava Giant Beast.

Unfortunately, by this point, fear was too late.

An unparalleled sword strike, with thunder and lightning roaring, rushed towards the Lava Giant Beast.

Pu-chi!

Crack!

This time, the Ice Dragon Sword finally tore through the Lava Giant Beast’s defenses, creating a massive gash that extended from the Lava Giant Beast’s head to its body.

From within the split wound, what flowed out was not blood, but magma.

”Roar~~”

The Lava Giant Beast, gravely injured, finally gave up on competing for the Mystic Spirit Grass. It turned tail in panic and bolted toward the distance.

Despite its massive body, it was surprisingly fast when it ran.

There was enough space deep in the Fulong Mountain Range for it to escape.

The plants here were very tall, and the ground was very wide, so the natural crevices were relatively large as well.

Standing here, one felt like an ant beneath towering trees in the outside world.

As the Lava Giant Beast fled with its wounds, those dozen or so Lava Monsters also vanished. The Martial Soul Avatar had successfully protected the 600-year-old Mystic Spirit Grass and handed it to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao did not pursue the Lava Giant Beast.

His target was not that Ferocious Beast, but the 600-year-old Mystic Spirit Grass. Since he had already obtained the Mystic Spirit Grass, who would bother with anything else?

After securing the 600-year-old Mystic Spirit Grass, Ling Xiao once again put on the Array Refining Stone and started to walk back through the path he came from towards the cave.

He needed to refine the Top-quality Zhenyuan Pill first, and then go to Sanders Castle to deal with Linglong Fairy and the others.

Now that he had advanced to the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer, neither Linglong Fairy nor the Cold-faced Martial Artist was a match for him—it was time for revenge.

Someone’s here!

After traveling a certain distance, Ling Xiao suddenly halted. Within the range of his True Essence Ball, he sensed several auras belonging to Martial Artists.

”Five people, the one with the highest cultivation level is at the pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Four-level! But what are these people doing here?”

Ling Xiao’s cave was not far from here, and he was worried that the others might discover it, so he decided to stay and observe.

He leaped onto a tall tree. Ling Xiao concealed all his aura, even retracting his True Essence Ball, relying solely on his eyes to track the newcomers.

Indeed, there were five people!

As they walked, they seemed to be searching for something.

Even though they were more than ten meters away, Ling Xiao’s ears were as sharp as his eyes. He could clearly hear their conversation.

”Damn it! We’ve been deep in the Fulong Mountain Range for several days and haven’t seen any sign of that kid. We’ve already lost several comrades.”

One of them punched a nearby tree in frustration, seething with anger.

”Keep it down. There are many Ferocious Beasts here; we can’t afford more injuries.”

Another person lowered his voice and said, ”However, that kid is really something. How did he manage to offend Linglong Fairy to the point she issued a bounty? The reward is a Precious Treasure Artifact along with ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred thousand Lower-grade Zhenyuan Pills. She has really gone all out.”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao’s expression turned grim.

He hadn’t expected Linglong Fairy to be so relentless, still sending people after him.

Heh, such persistence fits that woman’s style all right. Rest assured, Linglong Fairy, we’ll see each other soon enough.

However, when the time comes, you’ll be the one running!

A cold sneer appeared on Ling Xiao’s face, and as he looked at those five Martial Artists, his expression grew icy, his eyes flashing with a murderous intent.

If these people were here to kill him, he wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

”Who knows who will claim these rewards. But in my opinion, that kid’s just a novice at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer. He might have already become a delicious treat in the belly of some Ferocious Beast. Continuing to search like this seems rather pointless.”

Someone else remarked.

”Not necessarily. They say that kid is extremely cunning, having escaped from Linglong Fairy’s grasp. I guess he won’t die that easily.”

The initial speaker said, ”Alright, let’s find a place to rest and eat something. It’s dangerous to keep going like this. I heard that a Lava Giant Beast lives around here—that’s a Sixth Level Demonic Beast. We’re no match for it.”

It was clear that the existence of the Lava Giant Beast was common knowledge within Sanders Castle, and only outsiders like Ling Xiao would be unaware of it.

”A Lava Giant Beast, huh? I thought I heard its roar just now. It couldn’t have found that kid, could it?”
