Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Truly the Nemesis_1

Behind Ling Xiao appeared the figure of Ye Gu Shan.

It was a cold and solemn demon sword, exuding the desolate and tragic aura of ancient times.

In his hand, he now held a Rainfall Sword, its blade flickering with red light, like a blood-red fierce beast eager to burst forth.

Willpower is something almost everyone has, but to use willpower in battle, only a few martial artists are capable of doing so.

There are three realms of using willpower.

The first realm is called "Spirit Pressure," which is the pressure from one’s soul power.

For example, dominance, killing intent, and evil energy are actually external manifestations of "Spirit Pressure" combined with True Essence.

It can exert tremendous pressure on the opponent, even causing their spirit to collapse and resulting in utter defeat.

This realm is actually the most basic way of utilizing willpower, and Bei Duanchang had only reached this realm.

The second realm is called "Solidification," which means willpower condenses into a tangible attack, capable of causing not only mental trauma but also direct physical harm.

Ling Xiao had reached this realm, which was far more sophisticated than Bei Duanchang.

Solidified willpower can be used in various ways, capable of being used alone to deal with enemies or integrated into moves to increase their power.

The third realm is even more formidable, known as "Domain," which allows the user to create a spatial environment out of pure willpower.

This is no illusion, nor is it an Illusion Realm, because within this space, the damage caused by willpower is real and substantial.

Even if the damage shouldn’t exist in the first place, it becomes reality, and that is what makes a Domain so terrifying.

Currently, Ling Xiao’s willpower had not reached this realm, otherwise, with just his willpower, he would have been able to leave Bei Duanchang with no place to be buried.

On the spectator stands, everyone viewing the demon sword behind Ling Xiao felt a shiver, having long heard that Ling Xiao of the Moon Hua Sect could use a variety of Martial Souls. Now it seemed that those rumors were true.

And this Sword Martial Soul was a bit too sinister, causing discomfort in the hearts of the viewers.

If the spectators felt this way, there’s no need to mention Bei Duanchang who was standing opposite.

Bei Duanchang’s brow was deeply furrowed; he could not understand how Ling Xiao, with merely the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Invincible Realm cultivation level, could emit such a terrifying aura, capable of instilling an innate sense of fear and crisis in him.

No, why would I be afraid of him?

I am a martial artist who has mastered the Slaughter Will, combined with the eeriness of the Mercury Ghost Infant Martial Soul. My cultivation level is so much higher than his, I definitely won’t lose!

Bei Duanchang shook his head, and the fear and sense of crisis in his heart suddenly vanished, giving way to an imposing soul pressure.

Afterward, his body suddenly lunged forward, causing a loud boom within the Battle Beast Arena, nearly shattering the bluestone tiles.

Amongst the dust flying in the air, Bei Duanchang exhibited his proud Body Movement Technique and lunged towards Ling Xiao with the momentum of a torrential wave. His body emitted an extremely sinister and ghastly green glow, terrifying to behold.

"Such a fearsome poison skill, combined with Spirit Pressure and that miraculous Body Movement Technique, no wonder he ranks third among the Southern Three Sects—his strength is truly alarming!"

"Yes, with such a profound True Essence, it’s no boast that he has sixty percent the power of a Half-step Celestial."

"That Ling Xiao is done for!"

Neutrals marveled at Bei Duanchang’s fearsomeness. As the chief core disciple of the Poison King Sect and ranked third in the Southern Three Sects, Bei Duanchang indeed made a stunning entrance that filled countless people with dread and fear.

"Hahaha, Brother Bei is finally willing to use his ultimate move. The Moon Hua Sect has really degenerated over the years, letting such trash become the chief core disciple. With this move, he’ll take that cur’s life!"

"Why not just eradicate the Moon Hua Sect altogether? Being listed among the Twelve Sects alongside such a sect is truly sickening."

The disciples from the Southern Three Sects naturally looked down on Ling Xiao to the extreme and mocked him plentifully.

After all, in their eyes, not to mention anything else, just a Martial Artist who dares to challenge a Half-step Celestial with sixty percent power while in the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Invincible Realm is seeking death.

A cold and disdainful smile leaked through Ling Xiao’s eyes.

He could always multitask without interference.

And it wouldn’t affect each other.

On the one hand, he was fighting Bei Duanchang; on the other, he stayed constantly vigilant of everything happening around him.

He naturally heard every word of those people’s discussions with complete clarity.

He wondered what kind of expression the disciples of the Southern Three Sects would wear when this sword strike takes Bei Duanchang’s life.

The distance between the two had rapidly closed, the clash of their auras even more evident. Dust flew in the Battle Beast Arena, a whirlwind erupted, and once again, the figures of the two combatants blurred.

In Ling Xiao’s hand, the Rainfall Sword shook with an even fiercer blood-red light, as though it might break free from his right hand and fly out at any moment.

Hisss!

The sword light finally blossomed, and the spectators could only see the light that appeared in the dim Battle Beast Arena, unable to discern the figures of the two fighters.

The sound of something being pierced echoed.

Ling Xiao’s sword had thrust out, a blood-red humanoid Sword Qi instantly piercing through Bei Duanchang’s protective True Essence, even penetrating the poison skills he had painstakingly condensed.

A look of intense horror spread across Bei Duanchang’s face.

The same Slaughter Will, yet the one displayed by Ling Xiao was far too strong compared to his.

Bei Duanchang now fully regretted his actions, but he knew he couldn’t flee; he understood that turning his back on Ling Xiao might result in an even more tragic outcome.

So he instantly mobilized all the True Essence he could, preparing to fight desperately till the end.

Before him, the Mercury Ghost Infant materialized, upon which he had condensed nearly seventy percent of his power.

"Block him!"

Bei Duanchang roared, and the Mercury Ghost Infant emitted a dazzling silver light that almost pierced through the obstructing dust.

"Can you block it?"

A chilling voice escaped Ling Xiao’s mouth, the sharp red sword shadow condensed a terrifying Slaughter Will, easily tearing through the Mercury Ghost Infant’s defense, then piercing Bei Duanchang’s throat.

It was all over in an instant, Bei Duanchang’s life force faded, leaving behind only a corpse with eyes wide open.

"You are tragic, because you met your nemesis in me; otherwise, you wouldn’t have died so quickly!"

Ling Xiao was very clear that the reason he was able to kill Bei Duanchang so easily was purely because he had completely countered the latter.

He was immune to all poisons, making Bei Duanchang’s poison skills completely ineffective.

His Slaughter Will was also stronger than Bei Duanchang’s, rendering Bei Duanchang’s Slaughter Will utterly useless.

In other words, the two best skills that Bei Duanchang relied on were useless against him, leaving him with only his cultivation level to depend on.

But in terms of power, True Essence, and Martial Skills, Bei Duanchang was inferior to Ling Xiao in every aspect, and his eventual downfall was entirely the result of overestimating himself.

"This is killing me, what exactly is going on?"

In the stands, everyone was anxiously waiting for the dust to settle because they couldn’t see through to what was happening behind the dust.

They only saw two streams of light, one red and one white, suddenly rise, but what actually happened remained unknown to them.
