Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Direct Collision

What is the opponent thinking!

What are they doing!

Even the final position where they appear, Ling Xiao has it all figured out!

Crackling and snapping!

The green fingernails pierced through Ling Xiao’s body.

Unfortunately, that was just an afterimage.

The fingernails struck the ground, shattering several pieces of the bluestone flooring, and some unfortunate little insects on the ground also met their demise.

Boom!

The moment he dodged the opponent’s attack, Ling Xiao also launched a counterattack, the Shadow Cone hitting the Poison Soul Venerate’s back.

Although the hit did not cause any damage to the Poison Soul Venerate.

But the complexion of the Poison Soul Venerate turned extremely ugly.

”One move down!”

Ling Xiao retreated and stood at a distance, looking at the Poison Soul Venerate with a faint smile.

”This guy is too strong, what is his cultivation level? Facing the Third Cave Sky Realm’s Poison Soul Venerate, he not only easily dodges attacks but can even counterattack?”

”Yeah, although the counterattack didn’t seem to have much effect, being able to do so already makes him much stronger than Mo Shao You and Mang Xiao.”

In the crowd, many people were about to take Ling Xiao as a role model among the younger generation.

This guy actually managed to toy with the Poison Soul Venerate like it was nothing!

”Tricky little demon!”

The Poison Soul Venerate was very displeased in his heart.

He had said he wanted to make Ling Xiao look foolish here, but the first move allowed Ling Xiao to dodge so beautifully and even land a hit on him.

This guy really shouldn’t be underestimated.

Kill!

The Poison Soul Venerate increased his speed, his attacks became more fierce and faster.

What’s more terrifying is that various deceitful and insidious techniques were used one after another.

Each time they surprised the onlooking martial artists, who cursed under their breath at the sneakiness.

Generally speaking, no one wants to have an easy encounter with a martial artist like the Poison Soul Venerate, because such martial artists are too troublesome.

However, when it comes to Ling Xiao, he’s actually the one people favor encountering.

Therefore, the Poison Soul Venerate’s second move was still easily avoided by Ling Xiao.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao managed to land another hit on Poison Soul Venerate, and even though it still had no effect, Ling Xiao’s expression did not change at all.

It seemed that he was holding the winning ace, calm and confident.

The third move was the same.

Ling Xiao not only dodged cleverly but also found opportunities to strike the Poison Soul Venerate in different positions.

”Can someone tell me what’s going on? Is the Poison Soul Venerate too weak, or is Ling Xiao too strong?”

”This cannot simply be attributed to strength or weakness; Ling Xiao is too good at dodging. It seems like he can predict the opponent’s moves every time, then evade leisurely and unhindered.”

”Predictive ability? I’ve heard that when soul power is strong to a certain extent, it seems possible to briefly predict an opponent’s attacks, but even Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists cannot predict correctly every single time.”

”Don’t understand, really don’t understand, this Ling Xiao is simply an enigma.”

”Yes, now I really start to doubt, the Poison Soul Venerate thinking he could resolve Ling Xiao in seven moves? Is that really possible?”

In the crowd, there were not a few with keen eyesight.

Some have already guessed how Ling Xiao avoided the Poison Soul Venerate’s attacks, so that Poison Soul Venerate could not possibly be clueless about it.

”Old villain, didn’t you say you’ll kill me in seven moves? Now three have already passed without you even touching the hem of my robe! Were your words just hot air?”

Ling Xiao raised a sneer, looking at the Poison Soul Venerate opposite him.

Indeed, three out of the seven moves have already passed, leaving only four, and not to mention killing Ling Xiao, the Poison Soul Venerate hasn’t even touched him.

What does this mean?

Could it be that the Poison Soul Venerate is not in his best form today?

And at this moment, what’s on the Poison Soul Venerate’s mind is that he is thankful he didn’t boast he could kill Ling Xiao in three moves, or he would really lose face today.

But still, with seven moves, he remains confident to this point.

The previous moves were nothing but a probe; as long as he could kill Ling Xiao with the final strike, he would not be considered as losing face.

The only one who would lose face would be Ling Xiao.

The one who laughs last, laughs best.

Poison Soul Venerate now understood that what made Ling Xiao terrifying was his ability to anticipate and his speed!

Together, these attributes spelled doomsday for regular Martial Artists.

Because one could predict your next move and then dodge using his speed.

When facing him, you would always be a beat too slow.

Therefore, the only way to deal with Ling Xiao was to be faster than him or to overpower the opponent with sheer strength.

Any scheming or tricks would be pointless.

His first three moves had been completely the wrong approach.

A knowing smile appeared on his cold and gloomy face, which quickly reverted back to cold indifference.

Around his body, a greenish glow began to swirl madly, getting faster and faster, as if the power within his body was ready to burst forth completely.

”Gua~~”

The Toxic Clam Martial Spirit issued an even more fierce cry that was soul-shaking, causing many of the spectator Martial Artists to subconsciously retreat several steps.

”Gua~~Gua~~”

Amidst the more intense cries, the Toxic Clam Martial Spirit enveloped the body of Poison Soul Venerate, then gradually shrank.

In the end, Poison Soul Venerate’s entire figure looked as though it was wrapped in a layer of skin made from the Toxic Clam Martial Spirit.

This made him appear like a giant toad the size of a person.

Even though this scene looked comical, no one laughed.

The power contained within that Toxic Clam’s body was too terrifying; everyone was worried about becoming the target of its attack.

Ling Xiao naturally also felt that surge of frightening power that was about to explode.

He did not dare to be negligent; the fiery Crimson Sun Feather Robe ignited upon his body.

The Ghost Shadow Sword’s cold light also grew increasingly sharp.

Offense is the best defense.

Ling Xiao had always believed this, so from the beginning, he did not intend to strictly defend or dodge.

Suddenly, the giant toad opened its mouth, and a tongue at least ten meters in length shot out abruptly.

Its speed was even faster than Ling Xiao’s movements!

Martial Artists of the Third Cave Sky Realm still possessed such capabilities.

At that instant, Ling Xiao’s choice shocked everyone.

He did not retreat or dodge; instead, he thrust out his sword.

Maddened Sword Intent spilled out from the Ghost Shadow Sword like a flood bursting its bank, so turbulent and overwhelming!

Behind Ling Xiao was a world of his own.

Power continuously flowed forth from it.

The light on his body grew brighter, the temperature hotter!

The Sword Intent on his sword grew more intense, the Sword Qi even sharper!

”Open!”

With a roar like a spring thunder, Ling Xiao’s Ghost Shadow Sword had already thrust towards that long, venomous tongue.

At this moment, the Ghost Shadow Sword, although flexible, was sharp. The Longsword wrapped in Sword Intent radiated a strong Annihilation Sword Intent.

To annihilate everything, including that seemingly indestructible Toxic Clam tongue.

”Boom!”

The collision between the sword and the tongue created a huge noise and tremor on the long street.

The ground sank in, and nearby houses collapsed as a result.

After a moment of collision, Ling Xiao’s body flew back uncontrollably.

This clash clearly left Ling Xiao at a disadvantage.

After all, his opponent was a Martial Artist of the Third Cave Sky Realm, while Ling Xiao had only just broken through to the Ten Directions Heavenly Cultivation Level.

The gap between them was significant.
