Chapter 561: 561 Chapter Thunder Means_1

"No!"

The Black Spirit expert’s face showed great alarm, abandoning his attack as he gathered all his True Essence into his protective True Essence, attempting to defend with all his might.

Both the Black Spirit National Teacher and the Black Dragon King leapt up, trying to rescue the Black Spirit expert.

Alas, it was all too late.

When Ling Xiao made his move, would it ever be in vain?

The Sword Qi pierced straight through the Black Spirit expert’s protective True Essence, and then through his throat, instantly causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere.

His entire neck was severed by more than half, his head lolling, about to fall.

Thump.

His body collapsed to the ground, the once arrogant and self-satisfied Black Spirit expert, in the blink of an eye, became a cold corpse.

And a mutilated one at that.

Only then did the Black Dragon King and Black Spirit National Teacher arrive, one keeping a vigilant eye on Ling Xiao, while the other checked the condition of the Black Spirit expert.

Their attempts at rescue however, led to the desperate discovery that the Black Spirit expert’s injuries were not just superficial - even his internal organs had been completely destroyed by the Sword Qi.

Even for Great Luo Golden Immortals, it would probably be beyond salvaging.

Moreover, their expertise was not in saving people, but in killing.

"The person I, Ling Xiao, want to kill, no one can bring back to life! It’s impressive he had the courage to come at me knowing I had almost killed the Poison Dragon King, but alas, he was nothing more than a hothead."

Ling Xiao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his long hair fluttering in the breeze, his robes rustling.

He truly presented the demeanor of a grandmaster.

The others didn’t interest him in the least; now only the Black Dragon King and the Black Spirit National Teacher sparked a desire to challenge in him!

Killing them, he estimated his cultivation level might advance even further.

He had eliminated too many people inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, especially Ming Tian and Shen Tian Lin.

He now very clearly understood what kind of treatment he would face once he left.

Thus, he needed to increase his strength as fast as possible.

The stronger, the better!

Powerful to the point where no one would dare to falsely accuse or slander him!

Strength is such a marvelous thing; the stronger you are, naturally, the higher your status will be!

The words you speak, too, will be more readily believed by many!

Moreover, he had never forgotten his parents deep in his heart.

Grandpa Hong Qi had said that unless his strength reached a certain level, it would be impossible to learn any information about his parents.

So he must become stronger!

Become stronger!

"You brat, your methods are so venomous, your heart so ruthless! There’s no need to be overly cruel when killing someone, is there?"

The Black Dragon King stared at Ling Xiao, murder shining in his eyes.

However, the fact that Ling Xiao had killed the Black Spirit expert made him much more cautious, which was why he did not take immediate action.

This young man in front of him was truly difficult to deal with; a moment’s carelessness, and he might capsize in the gutter.

"Is that so? The Old Dragon Emperor treated you with utmost kindness, but you, Black Dragon King, what did you do? Not only did you attempt to assassinate the Old Dragon Emperor, you nearly annihilated the entire Golden Dragon Clan. What right do you have to speak to me of cruelty?"

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but sneer: "What’s more, you even tried to collude with the Black Spirit Organization to escape from the Moon Blossom Pagoda, with the intention of bringing disaster to the Moon Hua Sect. With me, Ling Xiao, around, I will certainly not let you succeed."

"Nonsense, what proof do you have?"

The Black Dragon King said coldly.

"Ridiculous, I believe many are aware of your slaughter of the Old Dragon Emperor, they’re just too afraid to speak out. As for your collusion with the Black Spirit Organization, do I need to say more? Beside you, that National Teacher is from the Black Spirit Organization, and the person I killed was also from the Black Spirit Organization," Ling Xiao stated indifferently. "Black Spirits are different from both humans and the Dragon Clan; their appearance, including their internal structure, is telltale. If you don’t mind, perhaps your majesty the Black Dragon King would like the crowd to examine that corpse?"

"Hmph, you’re not worthy!"

The Black Dragon King snorted coldly: "How dare you slander the National Teacher, I’ll kill you now and show you that the majesty of the Dragon King is not to be provoked!"

Afterwards, he suddenly transmitted his voice to Ling Xiao, saying, "What does it matter if you are aware of these things? I’ll kill you first, then proceed to exterminate the Moon Hua Sect completely!"

"Less talk, let’s see the real skill beneath your hand!"

Ling Xiao was very clear that it was meaningless to reason with an unreasonable person. Rather than engage in a war of words, it was better to take action.

As he spoke, Ling Xiao quickly entered his Human-Dragon Form, his True Essence circulating, and the clear sound of a dragon’s roar actually echoed through the clouds.

At the same time, behind Ling Xiao, a faint image of a grand scene depicting mountains and rivers started to emerge.

It was the first time he had used the will of the mountain and river to activate the Mountain and River Martial Soul to form a phantom image.

However, that image was too vague and very unclear to see.

"What kind of Martial Soul is this, exactly?"

Everyone present knew that Ling Xiao possessed a Martial Soul, but they had never seen such a majestic and dazzling one, as if it had encompassed the entire world within the Martial Soul.

This caused the expressions of the several hundred elite led by the Black Dragon King to change dramatically.

It also caused the Dragon Clan members who had come to watch the excitement to reveal looks of astonishment.

"Kill! Everyone, attack at once, surround this brat, and absolutely do not let him escape!"

The Young Master Black Dragon gave the command.

The several hundred elite acted in unison, urging the Earth Traveling Dragon and the One-eyed Giant Beast to surge forward, surrounding Ling Xiao tightly and forming an impenetrable siege.

Jianghu morality?

No one cared about jianghu morals; killing the enemy was the only goal.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Suddenly, Ling Xiao revealed a fierce smirk, and his Rainfall Sword began to flicker with light.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and there was a flash of lightning and thunder.

"Rainfall Sword·Decaying Sword Rain!"

This move was a special skill inherent to the Rainfall Sword, capable of damaging enemies over a wide area, causing strong corrosive effects; the greater the strength of the sword’s wielder, the stronger the corrosive effect, limited to within the Transcendent Realm.

In just an instant, a torrential rain fell from the sky.

However, these were not droplets of water, but blades of swords!

Sharp and able to corrode everything.

"Ah~~"

"No~~"

"What’s happening?"

...

For a time, screams rose and fell one after another.

With just one move, the several hundred elite were reduced to just a few dozen in an instant; the rest all fell under the assault of the Decaying Sword Rain.

After all, it was an attack designed for groups, and thus its power was slightly weaker. Therefore, it did limited damage to the stronger Dragon Clan Martial Artists.

"You scoundrel!"

The Black Dragon King attacked in a violent rage. He did not transform into his Black Dragon Form but chose to fight Ling Xiao in his Human-Dragon Form. His pitch-black dragon claws opened wide and reached directly for Ling Xiao’s head.

Immediately, the dark True Essence churned like a black mountain bearing down on one side.

"Dark Mountain Claw!"

This was still not a Dragon Clan Martial Technique.

Ling Xiao suspected that the Black Dragon King maintained his Human-Dragon Form in order to use this kind of martial skill, which was likely learned from the Black Spirit Organization or the Demonflame Celestial.

Ling Xiao did not retreat. His Rainfall Sword stabbed out continuously, layer upon layer, shattering the True Essence of the Dark Mountain Claw.

He stabbed out seven swords in succession, and with each one, the will of the mountain and river mingled with the Sword Qi, utterly demolishing the Dark Mountain Claw.

For a moment, dust flew and stones scattered, mountains crumbled and the earth split.

After the clash, the Black Dragon King’s face showed a trace of pallor, and his dragon claw was actually trembling slightly.

Beneath Ling Xiao’s feet, the ground was almost completely shattered, his face flushed, and his legs trembling slightly.

This exchange turned out to be an evenly matched battle.
