Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

The Blood Demon Envoy unleashed the Blood Slaughter Heavenly Demon Palm towards Ling Xiao, instantly turning the surrounding air completely red.

This fiend seemed intent on transforming the entire world into his blood-drenched realm.

At the same time, the other experts from the Demon Shadow Sect began to activate the Eight Gates Blood Extermination Formation.

Many formation flags were revealed by them.

On those flags, there were numerous bizarre symbols and terrifying patterns.

Blood-sucking demons, blood zombies, leech demons, mosquito demons...

As the formation flags were raised, they released an even more powerful blood-colored aura. Just breathing in a bit of it felt overwhelmingly bloody, making one feel nauseated.

This bloody aura, when gathered together, formed a colossal blood-drenched barrier.

It almost enveloped the entire Royal Mansion of the Wise and Virtuous King.

In an instant, all the plants within the royal mansion withered, as if their life force had been completely absorbed by the array.

Even the poor insects and beasts hidden underground shriveled up one after another.

The scene was extremely eerie.

This was the Demon Shadow Sect’s formidable array formation—the Eight Gates Blood Extermination Formation.

In terms of effect, it was somewhat reminiscent of the Blood Refining Array within the Ten Absolute Formations, except for a slight difference.

The Blood Refining Array could turn people into pus and blood.

Whereas the Eight Gates Blood Extermination Formation could drain a person dry.

”A boring trick, Xiao Jin, attack that spot directly and break this formation!”

Ling Xiao had already identified the weakness of the Eight Gates Blood Extermination Formation, but he didn’t plan on making a move himself. He wanted to have an epic battle with the Blood Demon Envoy, as it would be more beneficial for his cultivation breakthrough.

As for breaking the formation, Xiao Jin was more than capable of handling it.

Xiao Jin nodded, then instantly soared into the sky.

Its body grew larger with the wind, transforming into a colossal Golden Crow, almost covering the entire Royal Mansion of the Wise and Virtuous King.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao clashed palms with the Blood Demon Envoy, causing terrifying energy to sweep through the royal mansion like a gale, collapsing many buildings and leaving the scene in utter chaos.

As for Xiao Jin, transformed into the Golden Crow, it charged towards the position specified by Ling Xiao and then swung its massive claws at it.

It was as if an ancient giant beast had descended upon the mortal world.

As Xiao Jin’s claws tore down fiercely.

In that moment, countless formation flags were instantly destroyed under the terrifying Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Golden Light.

Virtually all the experts of the Demon Shadow Sect who arranged the Eight Gates Blood Extermination Formation were sent flying, with each spitting blood.

”What kind of monster is this!

Such terrifying power!”

All the experts of the Demon Shadow Sect felt their bodies trembling.

They had never seen such a terrifying creature, akin to a ferocious beast from ancient times.

And those were things they had only read about in books before.

However, the fear didn’t end there.

Xiao Jin flapped its massive wings, hovering in mid-air like a golden sun, looking down coldly at the disciples of the Demon Shadow Sect below.

”Die, all of you—this is the consequence of your treachery against us!”

Xiao Jin’s personality had always been rather solitary and fierce, related to the experiences of its life.

Its family had been confiscated, and most were killed before its eyes, the sight of the glorious heads stimulating its temperament.

Since then, Xiao Jin decided never to be naive again.

If anyone wanted to kill it, it would kill them without mercy!

It didn’t want to see its family and friends die before its eyes for a second time.

Especially its respected boss, who mustn’t die!

As it spoke, its entire body emitted a dazzling Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Golden Light.

This golden light exuded a chilling, eerie aura, as if it originated from the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs.

Or as if it were a judgment from Hades.

In an instant, it pierced through the bodies of dozens of Demon Shadow Sect experts.

For a moment, there was a cacophony of wretched screams.

Those martial artists pierced by the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Golden Light all caught fire, emitting the most terrifying screams of their lives.

They trembled and rolled on the ground, dying in unspeakable agony within moments.

In the end, there wasn’t a single intact corpse left.

”Monster! Monster—!”

The surviving disciples of the Demon Shadow Sect dared not fight Xiao Jin any longer.

They desperately tried to flee, ignoring the Blood Demon Envoy.

Yet, how could Xiao Jin possibly let them leave?

”Since you’ve already made your move, you must pay for your behavior. Besides, none of you from the Demon Shadow Sect killing ten people would be unjust; each of you carries a debt of blood!”

Xiao Jin had some understanding of the Demon Shadow Sect, a notorious evil organization rampant across the Xuanwu Continent.

Their deeds, even dying ten times, might not repay their sins.

Thus, Xiao Jin showed no mercy. In a flash, the remaining Demon Shadow Sect disciples were instantly crushed by his massive claws and then incinerated.

In nearly an instant, the disciples who had ambushed from the Demon Shadow Sect were reduced to only the Blood Demon Envoy.

All the others lay dead.

And they died so swiftly.

”Xiao Jin, rest now. Watch as I handle this Blood Demon Envoy!”

Ling Xiao had already been battling the Blood Demon Envoy for several rounds.

During these rounds, it had been a back-and-forth of victories and losses, advantages and disadvantages for both.

But only Ling Xiao knew that he was leveraging the Blood Demon Envoy’s attacks to push his cultivation towards the pinnacle of the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm - Tenth Layer Hell.

Now, he was just a layer of energy away.

”Blood Demon Envoy! Where is the main lair of the Demon Shadow Sect in Thunder City? And who exactly is your Great Steward?

You’d better confess honestly, or I’ll make sure you end up like them, dying without a burial place!”

Ling Xiao stepped back, coldly watching the Blood Demon Envoy, ready to end this fight quickly.

The Blood Demon Envoy, though powerful, had a significant flaw in their method of enhancing cultivation.

The so-called Hell Early Stage Cultivation in the Yang Realm Eleventh Layer was actually weaker in combat than an ordinary First Turn Eleventh Layer Hell Early Stage Cultivation.

Ling Xiao had little respect for these folks.

But the people of the Demon Shadow Sect seemed to favor this method of rapid cultivation, despite its serious drawbacks.

”How did you become so strong!”

The Blood Demon Envoy could hardly believe what was happening before him.

This Ling Xiao, according to the data, was merely a martial artist with a Hell Middle Stage Cultivation in the Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Layer.

Yet his combat prowess was so formidable, evenly matched in battle against him without falling behind.

Moreover, his pet was terrifying, slaughtering all his subordinates in a flash.

He even sensed that the eerie golden light was something he dared not withstand head-on.

”How did I get so strong? That’s not quite the answer I’m looking to ask from you.”

Ling Xiao said calmly.

”Hmph, don’t be too arrogant. I’m at least a Hell Cultivation strong one at the First Turn of the Eleventh Layer, and you’re just a mere Tenth Layer Hell cultivation. There’s a whole major realm difference. Do you really think I’m afraid of you?

You’ll die!

Your pet will die too!

All of you will perish at my hand!

Furious Blood Sha Fist—Kill without Mercy!”
