Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Martial Soul Battle Technique_1

Tie Shan finished speaking and within a radius of ten or so meters, countless roots suddenly burst forth, forming a huge cage-like structure that enveloped both Ling Xiao and Tie Shan.

"Your Martial Soul ability is quite interesting. Can all plant-based ones do this?"

Having once possessed the Cherry Tree Martial Spirit, Ling Xiao’s knowledge had not delved deep, but now that he saw the Iron Pine Martial Spirit, he found it very intriguing.

This thing could indeed be fun to snatch and play with for a few days. A plant-based Martial Soul truly suits combat in the jungle.

Moreover, such a towering Iron Pine, if transplanted into the Mountain and River World, would be a rather nice addition.

"It’s just like you, Junior Brother Ling, to still be in the mood to ask questions at a time like this."

To be honest, Tie Shan really couldn’t fathom Ling Xiao. Did this man have a problem with his brain? At a time like this, he was still interested in such matters?

But he dared not relax in the slightest. His True Essence had already formed a defensive wall, completely protecting him.

The posture for attack had also been set.

A battle with full force!

Even when facing Ling Xiao, whose Cultivation Level was inferior to his own, he must not hold back!

Otherwise, he might end up like the corpse on the ground, decapitated!

Looking at Tie Shan, Ling Xiao felt somewhat excited.

He had never intended to sneak attack and kill Tie Shan.

If he did that, it would truly be boring, and at the very least, he wouldn’t be able to achieve his purpose of testing.

A frontal battle would not only clarify the combat strength of someone in the Transcendent Realm at the Seventh Level, but it would also verify just how much progress he himself had made.

The Martial Artists he had killed before weren’t worth his full effort, so that was just a game of slaughter.

True Essence circulated, and five streams of Sword Qi consolidated into a dazzling Treasured Sword.

Ling Xiao’s right hand tightly gripped the Sword Qi, his battle spirit soaring!

"It seems you are prepared to die!"

A cold smile emerged on Tie Shan’s face. Killing, for Martial Artists, was nothing out of the ordinary. And killing a dangerous person could be exhilarating for Martial Artists.

In that instant, he lightly stomped on the ground and his body lunged forward like a Ferocious Beast from the depths of the Fulong Mountain Range.

The target was naturally Ling Xiao.

The long spear in his hand, at that moment, had become the sharpest Long Spear, seemingly ready to pierce through Ling Xiao’s body in an instant.

The smile on Ling Xiao’s face had vanished, replaced by utter coldness.

Staring at the charging Tie Shan, Ling Xiao slowly raised his right hand, the Sword Qi in his hand suddenly bursting forth with a terrifying presence.

"Back off!"

The Sword Qi rapidly elongated, and the violent and wild Sword Qi stretched out, thrusting heavily towards Tie Shan’s body.

The prior probing had already proven one thing—Ling Xiao’s Sword Qi could indeed harm Tie Shan.

That’s why Ling Xiao had chosen to fight with Sword Qi.

"Boom!"

With an explosion, at the critical moment, Tie Shan used his Long Spear to ward off the tip of the Sword Qi. Then, surprise showed on his face.

He felt as if he had collided with a mountain, rapidly retreating.

His heels dragged two clear marks on the ground, having split open the huge rocks.

Only after retreating over nine meters did the Sword Qi reach its limit and Tie Shan’s body finally stopped.

At that moment, he had moved from atop the boulder to the ground.

"This kid is indeed troublesome!"

Standing there, Tie Shan’s eyes flickered.

He hadn’t underestimated Ling Xiao. With that strike just now, he had used up to eighty percent of his power.

The remaining twenty percent was naturally reserved for escaping. This was the Fulong Mountain Range; should a Ferocious Beast appear, he still needed enough True Essence to flee.

His arms were trembling slightly.

Though he wasn’t injured, Ling Xiao’s terrifying strength made him feel extremely troubled.

This kid’s strength must be around nine thousand jin, much stronger than that of an average martial artist.

He couldn’t clash head-on!

When Tie Shan initially entered the Transcendent Realm, he relied on the breakthrough of his True Essence potential, so physical strength wasn’t his advantage.

Clashing directly with Ling Xiao like this was definitely not a wise move.

However, while his strength might not suffice, his Martial Soul could compensate for it.

"Ling Xiao, I advise you to release your Martial Soul now, or else, next time, it won’t be so easy for you," he said with a sneer.

As he sneered, Tie Shan’s body began to undergo rapid changes.

It seemed slow to talk about, but in reality, it happened in an instant.

Ling Xiao clearly saw that this guy’s skin was wrapped in a thick layer of bark, and his originally pale skin had now turned a color like black iron, clearly tough to deal with.

Ling Xiao didn’t speak, just stood there watching Tie Shan.

He knew that Tie Shan’s bodily changes would undoubtedly be difficult to deal with, but it didn’t scare him; instead, it intrigued him.

Tie Shan stepped on the ground once more, his figure flashing explosively, even faster than before!

His entire person almost turned into an afterimage as he rapidly closed in on Ling Xiao.

The raging wind that he brought up in his mad dash even scattered the bonfire flames.

Ling Xiao still didn’t dodge.

It was still that same casual sword strike.

He utilized his own terrifying strength of nine thousand jin, wanting to test what kind of changes had occurred in this guy’s body.

"Boom!"

An even more terrifying sound exploded than before.

Ling Xiao felt as if his body had collided with a giant tree, his figure moving backward.

However, his performance was naturally much more graceful than Tie Shan’s. Even though he was repelled, his body spun around atop a large rock and managed to stop after just about two meters.

"Eh? Quite interesting. After your body transformed, your strength increased by nearly two thousand jin, approaching ten thousand jin of brute force. No wonder you could repel me!"

Ling Xiao said with a slight smile, "But what’s the point if only the strength increases?"

His body suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, his Sword Qi had already stabbed into Tie Shan’s body.

"Ding!"

This time, the Sword Qi did not leave any marks on Tie Shan’s body; it seemed as if he was wrapped in something, greatly increasing his defense.

Nonetheless, Ling Xiao didn’t stop his attacks. His speed was much faster than that of his opponent, and his Body Movement Technique was also much more sophisticated.

For a time, atop the huge rock, the sound of "ding ding dang dang" was heard incessantly.

In just a short twenty breaths’ time, Ling Xiao had attempted to attack all the vital parts of Tie Shan’s body.

Yet the attacks still bore no fruit.

"Kid, you’re really ignorant. I’m much stronger than you when it comes to using the Martial Soul! Who told you a Martial Soul amplifies in just one way? Your attack power trying to break through my defense is laughable!"

Tie Shan stood there, allowing Ling Xiao to continue his assault, yet a look of disdain was on his face: "You’ve attacked for quite some time now; had enough fun? Next, it’s time for you to die!"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a spike shot out from the ground.

Ling Xiao’s eyes and feet were quick, and he barely dodged it, but his clothes were pierced through.

Just as he landed, another spike appeared behind him, and Ling Xiao hurriedly dodged again.
