Chapter 560: Chapter 560 Ambushed on the Way_1

Ling Xiao believed that instead of waiting for the Black Dragon King and his cohort to kill him in the valley, it was better to prepare everything here and set up an ambush.

The effects would be better, and the battle would be easier.

Having just broken through to the peak of the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer, and his Mountain and River Martial Soul having just advanced, he now needed an intense battle to temper his cultivation level.

In fact, his cultivation could have been raised to an even stronger extent, but he did not do so.

Superficial improvement brought no benefits.

Thus, he was actually suppressing his own cultivation.

Once the battle was over, or during the battle once he had fully adapted to the peak level of the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer’s cultivation, he could completely unleash this power.

By then, he would become an invincible martial artist at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer.

That was true invincibility within the same realm!

On both sides of the pitch-black path lay dense jungle and vast mountain ranges.

There was no trace of human life, only wild beasts emitting deep or piercing cries in the depths of the night.

It was a dark and windy night.

The perfect time for murder!

Suddenly, his gaze swept into the distance, where vague silhouettes were rapidly approaching from afar.

Having traveled a long distance, even the Black Dragon King wouldn’t rely on his body movement technique, and would definitely have a mount.

He could see that a large number of One-eyed Giant Beasts were being used as mounts, striding rapidly in this direction.

Most of these One-eyed Giant Beasts were Seventh-level Ferocious Beasts, with some being Eighth-level Dangerous Beasts, but their power was not actually strong.

It was just that their size was imposing enough that most people would probably feel their legs go weak even before the battle started.

Ling Xiao’s pupils turned golden yellow, and even from tens of miles away, he could see clearly that there were dozens of One-eyed Giant Beasts and additionally, hundreds of Earth Traveling Dragons.

These were a sub-dragon species, and outside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, they were undoubtedly powerful beasts.

However, inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, they were adversely affected by the seal, just like the One-eyed Giant Beasts, generally only possessing the strength of Level 6 or 7 Ferocious Beasts.

But their speed was fast, and they ran smoothly, making them very suitable as mounts.

Further back, there were several thousand mounts of various colors, which didn’t seem to belong to the Black Dragon King’s subordinates, but rather looked more like onlookers, because their distance from the few hundred people ahead was quite substantial, and even the flags they carried were different.

It was clearly sending a message to Ling Xiao to treat them differently.

No matter what, the Black Dragon King and his subordinates had finally arrived.

Ling Xiao exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

He did not like to wait, and fortunately, the waiting time this time was not long.

"Stop!"

When they were about a mile away, the Black Dragon King suddenly raised his hand, signaling the entire troop to stop.

However, due to inertia, they still advanced a few hundred meters before finally coming to a halt.

The Black Dragon King’s soul power had completely locked onto Ling Xiao.

Among the newcomers, the Black Dragon King’s cultivation was the strongest, and as expected, his perception was also sharp.

This was normal; if he didn’t possess this ability, how could he have possibly killed the Old Dragon Emperor and ascended to the position of the Dragon Emperor himself?

The Black Dragon King’s eyes, like black gemstones, shone with a vicious light.

In the pitch darkness of the night, they looked like two flickering ghost fires.

Ling Xiao could feel that from the Black Dragon King’s eyes, a formidable draconic aura was emanating, attempting to completely intimidate him.

Worthy of being the Black Dragon King.

Worthy of being a hardened Half-step Celestial from numerous battles!

He was much more formidable than that foolish woman, Bai Feifei.

"You seem to have made a breakthrough? Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer Intermediate Stage?"

Ling Xiao’s template was set to the Intermediate Stage of Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer, making it unnecessary for his opponent to know his real cultivation level, allowing him to easily lead them to underestimate him, and execute his plan more smoothly.

Even the Black Dragon King, as formidable as he was, ultimately couldn’t see through the template ability of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

Before they couldn’t see through it, and now even less so.

After all, Ling Xiao’s Mountain and River Martial Soul had already advanced.

"That’s right, I heard you were hunting me, so I’ve been waiting here for your esteemed arrival!"

Ling Xiao said with a light chuckle.

"Hahaha, don’t try to bluff me, do you think I don’t know? You don’t have any ambush here at all!"

The Black Dragon King laughed heartily.

Ling Xiao responded indifferently, "Ambush? Do I need one to deal with the likes of you? I, Ling Xiao, alone am enough! Today, you all will be buried here! It’s as simple as that!"

To his sides stood the Purple Lightning Sword and the Rainfall Sword, his eyes exuded determination and confidence.

"Hahaha..."

Countless roars of laughter erupted from the One-eyed Giant Beast and the Earth Traveling Dragon.

Everyone treated it as a joke.

It wasn’t just because Ling Xiao had luckily defeated the Poison Dragon King that he could be so arrogantly ignorant.

The hundreds of people who had come were the elite underlings of the Black Dragon King, among them dozens who were strong warriors above the Eighth Layer of the Transcendent Realm.

Even if Ling Xiao were stronger, could he really stand against so many?

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, allow me to deal with this person."

It was a man in black who spoke.

The people of the Dragon Clan only knew that this man in black was an escort brought by the Imperial Advisor, but they didn’t know that he was an expert sent by the Black Spirit Organization specifically to deal with Ling Xiao.

This person’s cultivation level was comparable to that of the Poison Dragon King.

Despite knowing that Ling Xiao had snatched the Dragon Pearl from the Poison Dragon King, he felt that it was merely due to the Poison Dragon King’s carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.

Whoosh!

The Black Spirit expert leaped down from the One-eyed Giant Beast like a crossbow arrow, closing the distance to Ling Xiao in an instant, and then struck out with his palm towards Ling Xiao.

The movement was like a ferocious dragon, and the palm strike was like thunder.

True Essence converged into a bizarre vortex, its amber glow twisting wildly.

This strike caused the trees around Ling Xiao to burst apart.

Black Spirit Martial Art - Earth-shattering Palm!

The momentum of a martial artist at the Invincible Realm of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer was overwhelming.

This person exuded a murderous aura, forged from countless killings. He wasn’t proficient in many skills, but he had honed this martial skill to the point of perfection.

It was rumored that a Black Spirit of this strength could kill a Level 8 Ferocious Beast with one palm strike!

However, in Ling Xiao’s eyes, it was as if the Black Spirit expert didn’t exist at all, and he didn’t even move his sword. He simply flicked a finger out.

This flick appeared weak and effortless, without any semblance of power when compared to the Black Spirit expert’s Earth-shattering Palm; they were simply incomparable.

"Hahaha, the Poison Dragon King actually lost to a weakling like you! With that level of True Essence strength, with that cultivation level, you dare to say you want to kill the Black Dragon King? What is it to be overconfident? What is it to block a car with a mantis arm! That’s exactly what you are, a fool!"

The Black Spirit expert’s face was filled with scorn and arrogance, as he laughed wildly.

But abruptly, as soon as his words were spoken and his laughter not yet ceased, Ling Xiao’s finger force suddenly transformed, as if the sound of a dragon’s chant rose, accompanied by thunder from the heavens.

A terrifying aura spread from Ling Xiao’s body.

The Black Spirit expert felt as if, in that moment, he was an enemy of the entire world.

Ling Xiao had not even used the Mountain River Will, merely demonstrating the increased power of the "Nine Veins Qi Sword" after advancing. A simple flick, and yet it had resulted in such a fearsome effect.

The Qi Sword pierced the void, reaching the Black Spirit expert’s front in a blink.
