Chapter 685: Chapter 685 Wu Ji Takes Action_1

Heavenly Dragon Golden Body!

Ling Xiao’s body was suddenly enveloped in black-gold dragon scales, including above the neck, all thick scales emitting a black-gold radiance.

Although it wasn’t as visually stunning as the golden hue, the defensive power had become even more astonishing.

Crack!

The teeth of the Tyrant Sky Tiger actually broke off upon biting into the dragon scales, with two of its fangs flying out.

Clutching his mouth, he stepped aside and cursed, "Damn kid, are you made of gold or something, breaking my teeth like that!"

"Heh, sorry about that, indeed it’s not much different from gold, but it’s even harder!"

Back when Ling Xiao practiced the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique, he had spent a great amount of gold, and the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body was the result of inheriting that technique, naturally even harder.

Combined with the Five Elemental Body, Ling Xiao’s defense was now so strong that even a martial artist of the First Line Heaven Realm would find it difficult to break through.

Being afraid of death, he always put defense and body movement techniques at the forefront, and these had become his greatest strengths!

"It’s time to end this, Brother Tyrant!"

Ling Xiao raised his hand, and the Rainfall Sword appeared in his grasp.

His aura also suddenly soared.

Under pressure, he had finally made a small breakthrough, advancing from the Pinnacle of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer to the Invincible Realm of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.

Although it was only a small step, for him, even such a minor breakthrough could bring about a substantial increase in strength.

"Shadow Transforming Sword Technique - Sword Demon Descends!"

In that instant, the shadow behind Ling Xiao transformed into the silent enormous sword shadow of Ye Gu Shan.

Then, thirteen humanoid sword qi shot forth, tearing through the air.

The Tyrant Sky Tiger desperately contended with the attacks, managing to block four or five of the humanoid sword qi, but was eventually sent flying by the sixth strike, tumbling heavy outside the arena.

"I concede!"

Ling Xiao gave a fist salute to the Tyrant Sky Tiger, then turned to look at the Inner Sect Elder of the Sword King Sect.

"Elder, I’ve won this round!"

"Hmph, I’ve said I won’t go back on my word. Here’s two hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, catch them!"

That Inner Sect Elder of the Sword King Sect didn’t mean well at all.

Two hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones! That’s like a mountain hurling towards him, obviously trying to embarrass Ling Xiao.

"Hahaha, Ling Xiao, let me keep these two hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones for you. I’ll give them to you back at the sect."

Just then, Wu Xiang laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and all those Spirit Stones amazingly entered his Storage Ring.

This move was incredibly slick, and if his cultivation level wasn’t much higher than that of the Inner Sect Elder of the Sword King Sect, it really couldn’t have been done.

"Many thanks, Sect Master!"

Ling Xiao truly had to thank Wu Xiang; otherwise, he would have had to activate his Mountain and River Martial Soul. That way, the likelihood of exposure would have significantly increased, and that certainly wouldn’t have been good for him.

This young man is truly formidable!

Losing two hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones really wasn’t much for the Sword King Sect, but the sudden rise of Ling Xiao had the high-ranking members of both the Sword King Sect and the Beast King Palace feeling uneasy.

Nobody expected that in this tri-sect martial arts tournament, the one to attract the most attention would not be Chen Meng, or the Tyrant Sky Tiger, nor Ying Wu Ya, but Ling Xiao, whose cultivation level hadn’t even reached the Half-step Celestial.

Ling Xiao had actually defeated consecutively the second-ranking core disciple of the Beast King Palace, Ying Wu Ya, the second-ranking core disciple of the Sword King Sect, Chen Meng, and the first-ranking core disciple of the Beast King Palace, the Tyrant Sky Tiger.

Even more exasperating was the fact that all three had stronger cultivation levels and far more renown than him.

This was truly hard to accept.

The Beast King Palace had hoped to regain some face through the Tyrant Sky Tiger, and the Sword King Sect wanted Chen Meng to completely crush the other disciples in the tournament.

However, they both ended up capsizing in the gutter, handled by Ling Xiao.

This cannot be denied; it is a scandal for Sword King Sect and Beast King Palace!

"Is there anyone else who wishes to spar with Ling?"

Although Ling Xiao was somewhat out of breath, his actual consumption of energy was not significant.

His Mountain and River Martial Soul naturally had the effect of Devouring True Essence, and combined with the refining effect of the Hell Melting Furnace, the consumption of True Essence was truly negligible.

Even if he were to fight Jian Wuji now, he certainly would not be afraid.

Of course, whether he would win or not is another matter.

After all, this was only a spar, and losing was just losing; Ling Xiao wouldn’t use the Ancient Golden Dragon Form or the Book of Seals, as both were reserved for saving his life.

Upon hearing Ling Xiao’s voice,

several disciples from the Beast King Palace lowered their heads.

After all, having both Tyrant Sky Tiger and Ying Wu Ya defeated, anyone else going up would only embarrass themselves.

As for the Sword King Sect, Cao Yun and Chen Meng had been defeated, and Jian Feng was just there to make up the numbers, so Ling Xiao’s words were essentially a direct challenge to Jian Wuji!

But regardless of whether Jian Wuji fought or not, Moon Hua Sect had already come out looking strong this time.

They had completely crushed the Beast King Palace and were not at all inferior when facing the Sword King Sect!

"Fine, I had no intention of making a move today, but since you insist on trying my methods, then I shall oblige!"

Jian Wuji slowly stood up, looking down at Ling Xiao, and said indifferently, "But before that, I can give you a chance to witness my skills, lest you complain it wasn’t fair when you lose later."

"What do you mean?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Quite simple, let Tyrant Sky Tiger from the Beast King Palace and Lan Yu’er from your Moon Hua Sect both come forth, I’ll take on both at the same time. It’s more interesting this way, and after the fight, if you still think you qualify to challenge me, we can fight then—it won’t be too late."

Jian Wuji did not actually want to engage Ling Xiao because he was somewhat wary of Ling Xiao’s Soul Secret Technique. If the fight ended in a draw, he would be the one losing face.

So he planned to use defeating the others to intimidate Ling Xiao, in hopes Ling Xiao would give up the idea of challenging him.

"Damn it, Jian Wuji, you might be formidable, but taking on two at once is a bit much. You’re not taking me seriously. Besides, how can I coordinate with a woman from the Moon Hua Sect? Two people together might even be worse than one alone."

Although Tyrant Sky Tiger was defeated by Ling Xiao, he wasn’t the type to become disheartened all at once.

After all, it was just a spar, and losing to someone with Ling Xiao’s strength was not unfair.

Thus, he had the energy to argue with Jian Wuji now.

"I obviously don’t want to either, so how about this? Brother Tyrant has just fought with my Junior Ling and has been injured; take a rest first. Let me have a go at fighting with Brother Jian, how about that?"

Lan Yu’er slowly rose and said.

She did not want to team up either; it was not because she thought she could win against Jian Wuji, but purely because she wanted to test her own limits.

"Fine then!"

Tyrant Sky Tiger was no fool. Having just been injured and with his morale quite low, fighting Jian Wuji now would be idiotic.

Taking a rest might be good for him.

Lan Yu’er smiled and then moved towards the fighting ring.

"Sister Lan, do you want me to tell you about Jian Wuji’s weakness?"

As he returned to his seat, Ling Xiao asked.

"No need, this isn’t a fight to the death, just a spar. I must take responsibility for myself,"

Lan Yu’er smiled and said: "But thank you all the same, Junior Brother."

"Then be careful, Sister Lan, Jian Wuji is quite tricky."

Ling Xiao admired Lan Yu’er’s choice.

Not everyone has such integrity, some people don’t want to lose face, even in a friendly match they think about cheating.
