Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2518 - 2521: Jian Ruchao’s Death: Twin Swords Unleashed, Alexander Yin Mountain and Underworld

Roar~~!

The sound of a dragon’s cry rang out.

"Top Grade Yu Martial Arts—Flying Dragon Sword Seal!"

This Top Grade Yu Martial Arts move was only a low-tier version, somewhat similar to the Dark Clan’s Shadow Frenzy Assault.

Ling Xiao had once seen this move unleashed by Heiye Wuzun.

However, Heiye Wuzun’s mastery of this move was only at Small Success, while Jian Ruchao had cultivated it to Proficient.

Not only that, Jian Ruchao’s cultivation level was also a small realm higher than Heiye Wuzun’s.

So the power of this move was extremely great.

It was ten times stronger than when Heiye Wuzun performed it.

But so what?

When dealing with Heiye Wuzun, Ling Xiao hadn’t even used Beast Soul Transformation.

Now that he had transformed, his combat power was likewise ten times stronger than without Beast Soul Transformation!

What’s more, today he was fighting with his true identity as Ling Xiao, so naturally he wouldn’t worry about exposing himself.

Both swords struck out together.

Sword Chime Yinsan and Sword Split Huangquan erupted simultaneously.

This was not the continuous attack from last time.

It was a simultaneous strike.

Their power was on a completely different level.

Attacking at the same time, the power they produced was absolutely far more terrifying than simply adding the two moves together.

When that dreadful sword light turned into a sky full of sword shadows and slashed toward Jian Ruchao, his expression instantly twisted into terror.

"Why, why is he this powerful? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!"

He roared wildly, utterly unwilling to accept the reality before his eyes. He wanted to fight!

He wanted to kill Ling Xiao.

He believed all of this was nothing but his own illusion!

He believed all of this was fake, merely Ling Xiao putting on an empty show of strength.

"Unable to see through the strength on both sides—you’re truly pitiful, Vice Hall Master!"

Ling Xiao looked coldly at Jian Ruchao as both swords were fully thrust out.

The terrifying Sword Intent shattered the Flying Dragon Sword Seal that Jian Ruchao had been so smug about.

That flying dragon let out a shrill, miserable howl in the void.

Then immediately afterward, Jian Ruchao’s body was struck directly; dozens of sword holes appeared on him, and he collapsed to the ground, clearly on the verge of death.

Ling Xiao coldly discarded the last two shattered longswords in his hands, walked over to Jian Ruchao’s side, and took the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword from his hand.

"A fine sword—what a pity it ended up in the hands of someone who doesn’t know how to use it."

Ling Xiao put the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword into his Storage Ring.

Then he coldly grabbed hold of Jian Ruchao.

"Four-leaf Demon Eye—Soul Capturing!"

He couldn’t be bothered to interrogate him, because who knew when Jian Ruchao would suddenly croak, so he simply used Soul Capturing to obtain the information he wanted.

It would consume some Soul Power, but that wasn’t any sort of problem.

"Looks like this guy really wasn’t lying. There truly are secrets about a top-level Battle Body hidden in the Tianfeng Group’s Book Collection Pavilion."

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao rejoiced inwardly.

Then he once again looked at Jian Ruchao and said, "You’re about to die, so let me use you to boost my cultivation a bit.

Four-leaf Demon Eye—Soul Hooking and Seize Soul!"

Although Soul Hooking and Seize Soul didn’t absorb the opponent’s cultivation, it only absorbed the opponent’s "attributes."

Strength, speed, intelligence, comprehension, and so on.

But that was precisely what mattered most. These basic attributes were what cultivation needed most.

Even if Ling Xiao wasn’t a Divine Grade talent, as long as he persisted in this way, he would eventually become a true Divine Grade genius.

Moreover, after Soul Hooking and Seize Soul absorbed these things, his cultivation would naturally increase slightly.

This was perhaps related to his physique and soul being strengthened; it was hard to say clearly.

But right now Ling Xiao’s cultivation had indeed increased by nearly eighty percent of the energy needed within the Hell Mid Phase of the Fifth Layer of Hell.

In other words, once he gathered another twenty percent, he could break through again.

This was probably also because Jian Ruchao’s cultivation was relatively strong. After all, Jian Ruchao was a Martial Artist at the Pinnacle of the First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell.

After taking Jian Ruchao’s Storage Ring and then burning his corpse to ashes with a fire, Ling Xiao performed a transformation.

He possessed the ability of the Yin-Yang Demon King, allowing him to alter his face and body into any appearance.

It was just that under normal circumstances, he didn’t like using it much.

This kind of transformation was nothing but a trick; if used too often, it might delay his own cultivation.

You had to know—if every time you encountered danger you just transformed and hid, how would you temper yourself?

How would you train?

And that was only one of the problems.

However, he wasn’t a stubborn person. When it was time to use something, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

This time, it happened to come in handy.

After Ling Xiao transformed, he slipped into the Tianfeng Group’s Book Collection Pavilion without being discovered.

However, the moment he stepped into the Tianfeng Group’s Book Collection Pavilion, trouble finally arrived.

A place like this generally had an Array Formation protecting it.

Although Ling Xiao had changed his appearance to that of a Tianfeng Group Martial Artist, the Array Formation still identified him and then sounded the alarm.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly but did not stop.

According to Jian Ruchao’s memories, he smoothly found that book.

Then he broke through a window and leaped out.

By this time, the Tianfeng Group’s Martial Artists had already surrounded the Book Collection Pavilion so tightly that not even water could pass through.

But interestingly, at this moment the Tianfeng Group’s leader was on his way to greet the Thirteenth Prince.

The Tianfeng Group’s strongest disciple, Chen Beixuan, was in seclusion cultivating.

There was actually no one who could stop Ling Xiao from escaping.

If Ling Xiao had fought to the death, he might really have been captured.

But he had no intention of doing that.

Using Shadow Step, he successfully broke out of the encirclement and took that book away.

Although this incident angered everyone in the Tianfeng Group so much they nearly spat blood, they had no way to deal with it.

Because they had no idea who had done it.

From beginning to end, Ling Xiao never exposed his identity as a disciple of Eight Immortals Mountain, nor did he reveal the Martial Arts he’d been cultivating since arriving on the Xuanwu Continent.

This would likely become a permanent disgrace and secret for the Tianfeng Group.

Of course, Ling Xiao couldn’t care less. After obtaining the book, he first returned to Eight Immortals Mountain and went into the side courtyard to begin studying.

The book stated—

Once a Battle Body was cultivated to a high level, then simply using Elemental Jade to enhance it would no longer have any effect.

At that point, he would need to find new, stronger materials to break through this shackle.

That material was Jade Marrow!

To upgrade the Lightning Battle Form to top-level, aside from the necessary Lei Yuanyu, he also needed a piece of Thunder Jade Marrow!

Likewise, it was the same for the Lava Battle Body.

According to what was recorded in the book, the Lei Yuanyu and Magma Elemental Jade that Ling Xiao needed had all been completely fused.

Next, he just needed a piece of Jade Marrow to solve the problem.

But where was he supposed to find something like Jade Marrow?

Ling Xiao thought of the people from the Tianlong Trade Company.

The Tianlong Trade Company did business throughout the entire Mysterious World; presumably they should have this kind of Jade Marrow.

Thus, Ling Xiao hurriedly left the side courtyard, intending to head to the Tianlong Trade Company to inquire.

Unexpectedly, upon leaving the side courtyard, he saw the Sword Clan’s Clan Leader Jian Kun as well as Jian Liufeng, Jian Tianchen, and the others standing there.

He froze for a moment, then smiled.

Because he knew very well why these people had come for him.

Still, he asked, "What business do you all have with me?"

"Where is Uncle Ruchao?"

Jian Liufeng asked urgently.

"Oh, you mean him. Just earlier he tried to lure me outside to kill me, and my master casually took care of him.

The White Jade Flying Dragon Sword can serve as proof."

As Ling Xiao spoke, he deliberately took out that sword.
