Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Atop Desperate Tower_1

"Ling Xiao, are you sure you’re okay? There’s something off about Ming Tian. The power he possesses now... it doesn’t belong to him."

Wu Xiang only spoke to Ling Xiao after most of the crowd had dispersed.

"I’m aware of that,"

Ling Xiao pondered before responding, "Indeed, there will be some danger, but it’s fine. He is no match for me."

Ling Xiao wasn’t one to act recklessly. Since he had said there was no problem, he naturally felt confident.

Although Ming Tian’s current condition couldn’t be judged by common sense, even this was accounted for by the analytical power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

The reason he dared to accept this life-and-death challenge was, of course, because he was confident in what he held within.

"Alright then, since you’ve said so, I won’t try to convince you anymore. Let’s go."

Ling Xiao and Wu Xiang headed to the Desperate Tower.

Elsewhere, the Demonflame Celestial informed a few of his own people about Ming Tian’s situation.

Ming Tian was now almost completely possessed by the Nine-tailed Fox Demon, his strength skyrocketing to three-tenths the power of the Half-step Celestial Realm.

It wasn’t just a significant improvement in his cultivation level.

What was more important was that the body of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon was extremely powerful. Ordinary attacks couldn’t harm Ming Tian at all.

Essentially, it could be said that Ming Tian was now in an invincible position.

So Ling Xiao was definitely going to die this time.

"How wonderful, I never expected this outcome. We won’t have to wait for the quad-sect martial meeting. Ling Xiao is going to die this time!"

Elder Jin was beside himself with excitement after hearing this.

"Don’t celebrate too soon. The battle isn’t over yet. I always feel that Ling Xiao is a tough nut to crack."

Chang Yueying had once underestimated Ling Xiao, so now, she definitely didn’t dare to take him lightly.

Atop the Desperate Tower.

Ling Xiao and Ming Tian stood far apart, facing each other.

"Since the day I joined the Moon Hua Sect, I’ve been determined to clean it up. Today, you can die in peace and also be free from the control of this Demon Fox!"

Ling Xiao looked at Ming Tian. Inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, he had already fought Ming Tian once and won.

However, the Ming Tian before him now was completely different from back then. Killing him wouldn’t be easy.

Yet, this suited Ling Xiao just fine.

His cultivation had broken through to the initial stage of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer, and he had been looking for an opportunity to refine his current cultivation level.

He had originally set his sights on Tantai Lingzi, but now an accident had occurred. With Ming Tian coming to him, it worked out perfectly. It was better to deal with Ming Tian first before anything else.

"Ha ha ha ha ha..."

The "Ming Tian" across from him suddenly burst into wild laughter.

The entire Desperate Tower trembled and shook with his laughter.

His voice was cold and sinister, "Ling Xiao, I admit I underestimated you back in Yunkong City. That I didn’t kill you then was a serious miscalculation!

You’re strong! Impressive! And arrogant!

But such people often don’t live long!

Today, I’m going to show you what fear is! What death is!"

"You’re not qualified to do that!"

Ling Xiao sneered coldly, releasing all his power without setting up any boundary templates. The ground beneath his feet began to shake uncontrollably.

His cultivation level was finally fully showcased in front of everyone.

Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Initial Stage!

"No wonder you’re so arrogant. It turns out your cultivation has broken through to the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer. But even so, what of it? You’re still no match for me!"

"Ming Tian’s" voice was completely different from before, becoming chilly and sharp. It had an extremely intense piercing quality that involuntarily gave others a headache.

"Kill!"

"Ming Tian," he scoffed, the dazzling red light in his hands flickering and blooming ceaselessly. Countless blood-red fox claws appeared, completely enveloping the world around them.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, the world had turned entirely red.

The brilliance was more than tenfold stronger than any light Ming Tian had ever cast before.

"Kid, rest assured, I won’t kill you immediately because there are still many secrets on you that I want to know!

What Martial Soul Inheritance did you obtain from inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda?

How exactly did you make contact with the Moon Blossom Fairy?

And what’s the deal with that strong dragon might on you?

I will figure all of this out!

After I do, you, Dai Yuling, Leng Hao, Zhao Zhi, Shangguan Lei, Lan Yu’er, Yang Dan Lin! Including that Wu Xiang, you will all end up in a miserable plight, never to rise again for eternity!

Hahaha, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of those treasures on you. I absolutely won’t let anyone else take them."

Only Ling Xiao could hear these words.

However, these words were also a harbinger of Ming Tian’s impending tragedy.

Ling Xiao would never allow someone who threatened his loved ones to live.

If previously he had the thought of subduing this Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, now, to hell with it, this creature had to die!

Within the blood-red feathered garment world, "Ming Tian" appeared very confident.

His humanoid body started to gradually shift into a beastly form; although it still retained much of a human appearance, it had taken on aspects of a demon fox.

"Thousand Shadow Soul Chasing Claws!"

Whoosh!

In that instant, thousands of blood-red claws surged forward, almost all at once, reaching for Ling Xiao.

Although the spectators were all watching from the outside, this scene still gave many people quite the shock.

Inside that red feathered garment space, it was almost airtight, leaving no gaps for Ling Xiao to dodge.

Thus one could say that Ling Xiao was really in mortal peril.

Even his once miraculous Body Movement Technique had become useless at this time.

However, inside the battlefield, Ling Xiao’s face remained expressionless.

True Essence surged into the Ice Dragon Sword in his hand, and then he thrust it straight out.

Upon the treasured sword, a black dragon shadow underwent various bizarre transformations, releasing a terrifying blizzard within the feathered garment space.

The Ice and Snow Storm shattered the Thousand Shadow Soul Chasing Claws!

Ling Xiao felt tremendous pressure.

This had not happened when he faced Bai Feifei and Yue Ren; his blood qi was a bit turbulent, and he had not expected this monster’s attack to produce such a special effect.

Of course, it was also because the opponent was too powerful.

After all, this was confronting a Half-step Celestial with three-tenths of its power at the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Initial Stage. The gap was simply too vast.

Keep in mind that there is a world of difference between the Divine Mastery Realm of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer and a Half-step Celestial, let alone one with three-tenths of a Half-step Celestial’s power.

Ling Xiao felt the pressure; however, the look on his face was not one of panic but of excitement.

He relished this kind of pressure in battle.

Pressure meant progress!

"You actually blocked it. Worthy of being the man even Ming Tian fears. So how about this move?"

"Ming Tian" scoffed again, his hands now fully transformed into the claws of the demon fox, in between which swirled a strange vortex.

"Fox Spirit Power: Devouring Vortex!"

The vortex grew larger and larger, and then rose above Ming Tian’s head.

A tremendous suction force emerged, and Ling Xiao felt the spiritual qi around him seemingly being sucked away by the vortex; then, inside the vortex, a sphere formed, like a sun.
