Chapter 120: Chapter 120: A Fierce Battle with the Martial Master_1

"Kid, I’m going to kill you!"

Seeing Ling Xiao effortlessly kill Ling Shisan and Ling Jiu, Fei Mu panicked.

Although Ling Shisan and Ling Jiu were nothing more than two dogs that had recently submitted to the Ninja Clan, even when you beat a dog, you must look at its owner.

Fei Yun could tolerate it.

But the hot-tempered Fei Mu couldn’t.

Of the Four Great Clans, only he had annihilated the Wang Clan, which showed the extent of his volatile temper and his cruel and fierce nature.

Fei Mu let out a great shout, his body seemingly transforming into a ghost, his face and figure indistinguishable, closing in on Ling Xiao at a terrifying speed.

Ling Xiao had just killed Ling Shisan and Ling Jiu.

For one to slay two veteran Martial Vein Sixth Peak warriors, he definitely qualified as Tianfeng City’s number one genius.

But Fei Mu was a Martial Vein Seventh Level martial artist!

Everyone was clear about that.

There are a total of nine Martial Veins.

Every breakthrough of three Martial Veins marks a stage in a martial artist’s career.

From the First Level to the Third Level is the Awakening Stage, known as Martial Student, where one condenses True Qi within their body.

From the Fourth Level to the Sixth Level is the Gang Qi Stage, known as Wu Tu, where one condenses Gang Qi within their body.

From the Seventh Level to the Ninth Level is the Explosive Qi Stage, known as Martial Master, earning the title of "Master," with True Essence condensed within the body.

Ling Xiao could defeat martial artists at the Martial Vein Sixth Peak, but when facing a Martial Vein Seventh Level martial artist, he surely had no chance of winning.

He wasn’t foolish, so he chose to dodge.

He pushed the "Soaring Cloud Steps·Young Dragon" to its limits, fleeing in the opposite direction.

Compared to Fei Mu, Ling Xiao was much more familiar with the Ling Family’s terrain. Since he was stuck to him, he intended to use the Ling Family’s terrain to engage with this Martial Vein Seventh Level martial artist.

Can a Martial Master truly not overcome?

How can you know without trying?

Ling Xiao never believed in curses.

After all, victory and realm aren’t absolutely causal.

Fei Mu was extremely fast.

Even with Ling Xiao pushing "Soaring Cloud Steps·Young Dragon" to the extreme, he was still much slower than his opponent.

According to the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s calculations, at least about half as slow.

If not for his greater familiarity with the terrain.

If not for his earlier escape, Fei Mu would have already caught up to him.

So fast!

Too fast!

Impossible to widen the distance!

Once a martial artist ascends to the Explosive Qi Stage, and burns True Essence, the increase in speed is simply terrifying!

In the perilous chase, Fei Mu nearly touched Ling Xiao several times.

However, relying on the perfect calculations under the Soul Entry state, Ling Xiao was always able to suddenly change directions at critical moments, driving Fei Mu to madness.

Not only that, in a life-and-death situation, Ling Xiao fought desperately as well, his Gang Qi circulating wildly within his body; in the Mountain and River Map, a fierce wind suddenly picked up.

His speed actually increased slightly beyond its original limit.

Under enormous pressure, his "Snow Lotus Qi Technique" forcefully broke through its restraints, ascending to the Eighth Level realm, approaching perfection.

"This kid must die!"

Fei Mu originally thought that with his intervention, Ling Xiao was as good as dead.

Now it seemed he had underestimated Ling Xiao somewhat.

And the more that was true, the more he wanted to kill Ling Xiao.

Such a terrifying talent, if left alive, would definitely pose a huge threat to the Ninja Clan!

The Ninja Clan intended to monopolize the entire Human Race territory; no uncertain factors could be left unchecked.

"Ah—! Ling Xiao, meet your death!"

Thinking of Ling Xiao’s terrifying future, Fei Mu felt he truly couldn’t bear it any longer, and suddenly increased the intensity with which he burned his True Essence.

It should be known that even for a Martial Master, there was a safety line for burning True Essence.

Martial Masters of different levels can only burn their True Essence to a certain limit; exceeding that limit could impose an immense burden on their body, or even cause backlash.

Fei Mu was just a Martial Master in the initial stage of the Martial Vein Seventh Layer. The extent to which he could burn his True Essence was not high; burning about ten percent was already his limit.

However, to ensure that he killed Ling Xiao, he had no choice but to forcibly burn twenty percent of his True Essence, eliciting a strange noise from his body—the wail of a body exceeding its load capacity.

Fei Mu didn’t care about that.

If he could kill Ling Xiao, even if there was a burden or even backlash, it would still be worth it. Otherwise, this kid was slippery as an eel, and he couldn’t really deal with him in a short period of time.

If he actually let him escape right under his nose, that would be truly embarrassing.

With twenty percent of his True Essence burnt, Fei Mu now brandished a long stick in his hand, suddenly sweeping towards Ling Xiao with the force of a thunderous onslaught.

The terrifying True Essence storm shattered the buildings and vegetation around Ling Xiao, and even the bluestone slabs on the ground were directly blown away, then fragmented.

"Young Dragon Soars to the Heavens!"

It seemed that up in the air, Ling Xiao had no place to leverage himself and could only bear the might of this terrifying strike.

Yet, at the moment Ling Xiao’s body was about to fall, his body radiated a brilliant golden light, transforming into a golden dragon that shot straight into the sky, soaring over twenty meters in an instant.

With just this move, he completely avoided Fei Mu’s attack.

After all, Fei Mu originally thought Ling Xiao would hit the ground, so his attack was aimed there.

This scene was something he could never have dreamed of.

"Damn kid!"

Fei Mu’s strike hit nothing but air, and a trace of scarlet blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.

He didn’t have to do this, but because he was too eager to kill Ling Xiao, he ended up causing himself internal injuries.

"I’ll see how long you can hide!"

Fei Mu was nearing madness.

A grand Martial Master, and yet he couldn’t take down a warrior at the Early Sixth Level Martial Vein after all this time; spreading this story would certainly make him a laughingstock.

Consequently, his ferocious stick technique swept towards Ling Xiao like a wild storm.

This scene, to the onlookers, was almost dumbfounding.

They weren’t shocked by Fei Mu’s terrifying destructive power.

Everyone knows the horror that a Martial Master can unleash.

What they were shocked by was Ling Xiao!

Despite having no strength to fight back against the Martial Master’s attacks, Ling Xiao had managed to endure for such a long time without a scratch. Just this fact alone, if spread, would be enough to make him famous.

Perhaps it was because Ling Xiao’s performance was too eye-catching that the changes in Ling Yixue were overlooked by others.

No one knew that Ling Yixue’s realm was still rising.

In her mind, a sealed gate torn apart by anger gave way to a terrifying amount of Soul Power, utterly incongruent with her age.

It shouldn’t have belonged to her.

But at that moment, it became the key to her rise in strength.

However, this ascension came at the cost of her life-force.

Her hair turned completely white, a clear sign of this sacrifice.

Fei Yun did not initiate a total assault, because from his perspective, annihilating the Ling Family was a foregone conclusion.

He was now considering whether to help Fei Mu finish off Ling Xiao or not.

The potential of Ling Xiao had already made him feel a significant threat.

Fei Mu continued his relentless assault on Ling Xiao.

However, even though the stick shadows filled the sky and the attacks were so fearsome they seemed about to destroy that entire space, Ling Xiao remained unscathed.

Ling Xiao was too slippery.

He was indeed like an eel, each time barely dodging from the weakest part of the stick shadows.

Even if he got brushed by the stick shadows, with the robust defense of the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique" at the seventh turn, he was completely unharmed.

The only trouble was his clothes, which were terribly shabby. Once again, they were in tatters, making him look almost like a beggar.

"Chasing Clouds and Pursuing Shadows!"

Suddenly, Fei Mu changed his moves.

The previous stick shadows all disappeared, and all the True Essence concentrated on his stick, coalescing into an energy blast.

Then, with an astonishing speed, it streaked towards Ling Xiao.
