Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Shadow of Death

Seeing the six Imperial Bodyguards make their move, Ling Xiao turned to Wu Xiang and the others and said: "Just watch, today I will let you understand my determination to eradicate the True Demon Empire."

Actually, it’s easy to say that one should overthrow the True Demon Empire, but doing so is much more difficult.

The Revival Meeting and many civilian resistance groups all want to overthrow the True Demon Empire, but they don’t dare to act openly because they don’t have the strength to confront the True Demon Empire directly.

Neither Moon Lady nor the old Sacred Emperor intends to rise in rebellion.

Some people have the intention, but not the courage and strength.

Ling Xiao is the Chosen Son of Heaven, something almost everyone on the Heavenly Dragon Continent knows.

But he is, after all, just a sixteen-year-old youth; many people doubt his capabilities and thus dare not step forward to support him.

So today, he wants the people of the Revival Meeting to take a good look, and then spread his heroic deeds far and wide.

Even if he is not the one who acts, it doesn’t matter; what he needs now is just an opportunity that calls for immediate response.

Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Wu Xiang silently nodded.

In his view, six Martial Artists with cultivation levels above Nine Heavy Heaven pose no threat to Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao tells him not to take action, there must be a reason.

The next moment, he understood why.

The Eye of Burning Heaven!

To deal with Jiao Lie, Ling Xiao needs to rely on Butterfly Girl’s power for suppression, but to deal with merely six guards above the Nine Heavy Heaven cultivation level is simply unnecessary.

The Tai Chi Eye alone is enough.

When the Tai Chi Eye revolved at that instant, the six charging Imperial Bodyguards suddenly all stopped in their tracks.

Intense flames swept through the entire hall.

Even the Cave Realm used by Jiao Lie to protect his own was sizzled by the intense flames, turning into wisps of white vapor that drifted away.

In just a few breaths of time, the six Imperial Bodyguards with Nine Heavy Heaven cultivation levels turned into Fire People.

Within the flames, they screamed miserably, and then were burned to piles of ashes by the high temperature.

Actually, the temperature isn’t considered very high; if Ling Xiao could use the Sacred Fire right now, these guys’ ends would be even worse.

"How could this kid be so terrifying, even I, facing this kind of attack, probably couldn’t withstand it."

Wu Xiang was shocked, as he himself was a Martial Artist at the peak of the Second Dongtian Realm.

Ling Xiao, this kid, really is getting more and more unfathomable.

He felt incredibly fortunate that he had met Ling Xiao as a friend years ago, rather than becoming an enemy.

In the hall, six piles of ash lay there, plunging all from the City Lord’s Mansion into a stunned, fearful silence.

What kind of strength is this?

Wasn’t it said that this kid was heavily injured during the fight with Duke of Eastern Province?

Wasn’t it said that this kid was just a Martial Artist in the late stage of Nine Heavy Heaven?

What is going on now?

How could this level of destructive power reach the attack levels of a Second Dongtian Realm Martial Artist?

Everyone felt a fear brewing within them, which quickly devoured their minds.

Jiao Lie opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn’t speak out.

He initially thought Ling Xiao was coming here to die, that with his strength, along with other allies, they could definitely eliminate Ling Xiao here.

But now, it seems something isn’t quite right.

The Martial Artist to his right also had his expression turning ugly.

Although he had anticipated that Ling Xiao might be stronger than imagined, he had never thought he’d be this powerful.

Ling Xiao was still comfortably lounging there, looking at the trembling Jiao Lie with a mocking gaze and laughed, "How about it, Respected Lord, does my strength catch your eye now?

"Pah!"

Jiao Lie was still considered a fierce warrior of the Sea Race, otherwise, they wouldn’t have stationed him here in Lanton City.

Lanton City to the Magic Capital is like Northern Desert City to the Imperial City of the Phoenix God Empire, both are fortresses, a stronghold.

If Lanton City falls, then Magic Capital will have no obstacles on this side of the land, allowing the army to drive straight in and approach the city walls.

Even though Jiao Lie felt the fear growing inside him, even to the point of engulfing him completely,

he did not compromise. He contracted his Cave Realm like the Duke of Eastern Province, wrapping his body in scalding seawater.

Only in this way could he feel somewhat at ease.

However, in Ling Xiao’s eyes, there was only mockery and ridicule.

The enormous Skeleton Warrior was retracted.

Ling Xiao then slowly walked toward Jiao Lie.

Each step made Jiao Lie’s heart tremble heavily.

When Ling Xiao was about four or five meters away from Jiao Lie, his body suddenly floated up, a longsword appeared in his hand, stabbing straight towards Jiao Lie’s heart.

The movement seemed slow, but Jiao Lie suddenly found that his body seemed to be imprisoned by something, unable to move at all.

His entire body felt as if it was filled with lead, heavy as if it were dragging the entire land.

If it were Ling Xiao himself, it certainly wouldn’t be so formidable.

The key was that Ling Xiao was borrowing the power of Butterfly Girl.

Butterfly Girl didn’t need to fight personally, she just needed to transmit her power to him.

This was essentially the same principle as one martial artist providing internal strength to another.

However, most martial artist’s bodies might not withstand the internal strength of a much stronger martial artist, and forcibly transferring power could cause physical destruction.

But Ling Xiao’s body was too tough.

He could still bear part of Butterfly Girl’s power.

Receiving this external power and transforming it through the Nine Ding Heavenly Vein, he could use it to attack his opponent.

Of course, this process would consume a large amount of energy, so Ling Xiao usually would not do this.

Today, he just wanted to show his strength and deter the Sea Race.

Using it this way was not a problem.

The longsword, glowing with a reddish-gold light, easily pierced Jiao Lie’s Cave Realm Armor.

Then an astonishing scene occurred.

What should have been an incomparably tough Cave Realm Armor was torn open easily like a piece of paper by the sword, creating a noticeable gap.

Jiao Lie could distinctly feel the pain of the longsword piercing through the Cave Realm Armor, then his clothes, and finally his skin.

In that instant, his whole body shivered, his hair standing on end, feeling utterly horrified.

It would have been better if he had been killed right there, settling everything once and for all.

But Ling Xiao didn’t do that.

The sword in Ling Xiao’s hand entered slowly.

Very slowly.

The pain persisted continuously, and the fear deepened.

The shadow of death enveloped Jiao Lie’s entire mind.

The wound became deeper, getting closer and closer to his heart.

Moreover, the terrible oppression of Ling Xiao’s soul power massively amplified this fear.

Finally, Jiao Lie collapsed.

He suddenly knelt down.

"Young hero! Spare my life, young hero! I don’t want to die!"

In this encounter, Jiao Lie felt nothing but despair from beginning to end.

Death might not be frightening.

But the continuous shadow of death, impacting his mind repeatedly, was excruciatingly painful.
