Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Heavenly Thunder Phenomenon_1

Under the challenge platform, nearly everyone believed that Ling Xiao would choose to evade the brunt of the attack, dodging the assault from the immensely strengthened Jian Renwang.

However, contrary to expectations, Ling Xiao showed no intention of dodging at all. He stood there, unhurriedly assuming a stance.

His fists then clenched tightly, and around his body, faint shadows of the Ghost King began to emerge.

In that instant, Ling Xiao seemed like a terrifying Ghost King ready to burst forth, and moments later, his fists thundered out.

"Foolish!"

Seeing Ling Xiao actually attempting to clash head-on with Jian Renwang, Meng Yuan couldn’t help but sneer and curse Ling Xiao in his heart.

Transcendent Realm Third Layer Apex, how can you, a mere Outer Sect Half-step Grandmaster, compare?

"Heavenly Thunder Phenomenon: Ghost King Annihilation!"

Suddenly, the sound of thunder resounded in the sky, deafening to those below.

In that moment, Ling Xiao’s fists, under the astonished gazes of countless people, ferociously met Jian Renwang’s Demon Sword Kill.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided mid-air.

After a moment of silence, the red glow in Jian Renwang’s eyes suddenly disappeared, and his ferocious expression instantly turned deathly pale.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted from his mouth.

Ling Xiao casually avoided the jetting blood, his expression cold as he pushed his fists forward.

On those arms, it was as if they were enveloped by the sound of rolling thunder.

Amidst the thunderous boom, Jian Renwang’s figure, like fragments from an exploded Thunderbolt Flame Bomb, flew directly out of the challenge platform under the shocked gazes of many, crashing into the crowd.

Seeing this eerie scene, Steward Wang, Hei Suo, Meng Yuan, Ming Tian, and others all suddenly had their pupils shrink and couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.

Defeating a Transcendent Realm Third Layer Apex martial artist with the power of a Half-step Grandmaster?

Ling Xiao’s seemingly not so tall figure instantly became terrifying and mysterious.

Looking at Jian Renwang, who crashed more than a foot deep into the ground.

The whole venue once again fell into dead silence.

Jian Renwang’s life or death was unclear, could this really be the result?

After a moment, their gazes returned to Ling Xiao, looking at him as if he were a monster.

They might not know what pills Jian Renwang had taken, but they could feel Jian Renwang’s strength had suddenly increased manifold, approaching, even reaching the Pinnacle of Transcendent Realm Third Layer.

Yet, what they hadn’t anticipated was that Jian Renwang, whose strength had surged by several times, would be defeated so miserably and so swiftly.

Just one punch!

That punch charged with the power of thunder, nearly exploding Jian Renwang’s body.

Below the platform, Lan Yu’er had already withdrawn her True Essence.

However, the sudden turn of events in the arena made it difficult for her to remain calm.

"How terrifying is this martial skill! What level of power could this be? Is it Gold-rare level? Superior level? Could it be top level? Impossible~!"

Lan Yu’er’s beautifully curved body heaved rapidly, indicating the extreme unrest in her heart.

As one of Moon Hua Sect’s top ten core disciples, she naturally practiced Gold-top Level Martial Arts.

But precisely because of that, she knew all too well the difficulty of Gold-top Level Martial Arts.

Even for someone with her talent, to reach the Beginner Stage was already quite an achievement. How on earth did Ling Xiao, merely an Outer Sect Disciple, manage to learn it?

After a long shock, she gradually regained her calm and clarity.

After a careful assessment of the martial skill wielded by Ling Xiao, she suddenly realized that it must be the result of a combination of two martial arts.

One of the martial arts must be the Divine Prison King Fist, a Gold-beginner level martial arts. Although Moon Hua Sect doesn’t possess it, there are records of it.

But what was the other martial art combined with it?

Could it be the Twelve Golden Lotus Art?

Lan Yu’er began to worry.

The risks of the "Twelve Golden Lotus Art" were very clear to her, when had Ling Xiao started practicing such Martial Arts?

...

Atop the challenge platform, Ling Xiao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, the force of the thunder slowly ceased, and his hands, wrapped in True Essence, gradually retracted.

What a pity, the time was too short, and Jian Renwang didn’t even get a chance to unleash his Martial Soul before it was over.

During a typical fight between Martial Artists, it’s rare to summon the Martial Soul right at the start.

After all, using a Martial Soul isn’t without a cost; while it can bring about a powerful effect, the energy consumption is equally staggering.

Shaking off the grime on his body, Ling Xiao looked indifferently at Jian Renwang below the platform, who was oblivious to life and death.

He had controlled his strength very well in that move, it was definitely not enough to kill Jian Renwang.

It wasn’t that he had a kind heart, but rather, the rules of the Sect forced him to act this way.

He certainly didn’t want to give certain people a chance to find fault.

The reason why Jian Renwang was unconscious right now,

is probably due to the poison and the negative effects of the Devil Transformation Pill.

If he dies because of these two reasons, then Ling Xiao would not be to blame.

In his heart, he was actually very angry and wished that Jian Renwang would just die like that.

The incident just now was indeed quite shocking.

Had he not used the strength of True Essence equivalent to the Transcendent Realm Second Layer at the last moment of the confrontation, he might have already been killed by Jian Renwang.

Since this guy was so vicious,

why should he play the fool and be the good guy?

He had never been a pushover, lacking principles to sympathize and pity someone without reason.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ling Xiao no longer paid attention to Jian Renwang’s condition, instead, he turned to Steward Wang and spoke indifferently, "Steward Wang, this spar should be over, right?"

"Oh!"

Steward Wang swallowed hard, having just recovered from his shock.

Ling Xiao’s performance had truly exceeded his expectations.

He really didn’t want to end the battle.

But the fact was already before him, what else could he do?

Just as he was about to announce the results of the spar, suddenly someone stepped out of the crowd and stopped him.

"Wait a moment, Steward Wang. Sect rules state that during a spar, if an Outer Disciple kills an Inner Sect Disciple or causes them severe disability, it is a capital offense!"

The one who had emerged from the crowd was Meng Yuan—Chief disciple of Demonflame Celestial, and one of the ten Core Disciples.

He was also the one who spoke.

"Look, it’s Meng Yuan!"

"So handsome!"

"One of the ten Core Disciples, his presence is just on a different level!"

Meng Yuan, being one of the ten Core Disciples, not only possessed great strength but was also very handsome, with the demeanor of a refined Martial Artist.

No wonder he had so many fans among the Inner Sect Disciples.

Meng Yuan’s tone suggested fairness and justice, but Ling Xiao, Lan Yu’er, Dai Yuling and others knew very well that this guy was clearly looking for a pretext to cause trouble.

Lan Yu’er frowned and asked coldly, "Meng Yuan, what are you trying to do?"

Meng Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Sister Lan, it’s not what I want to do, it’s what the Sect rules say. Jian Renwang is, after all, an Inner Sect Disciple, and he, merely an Outer Disciple, has been so ruthless as to severely injure him. According to the rules of the Sect, that’s a capital crime!"

Without waiting for Lan Yu’er to speak, Ling Xiao snorted disdainfully and said coldly, "The words of this senior brother are truly laughable!"

"What did you say?"

Meng Yuan’s eyes showed a fierce killing intent as he said, "What right do you have to talk to me, you trash of the Outer Sect!"
