Chapter 403 Ch 403: Killing a Master of Chaos
Elder Xu attacked once again. This time, with a new skill.
"Dark Mirage Dance!"
Elder Xu's body blurred like a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to multiply into multiple indistinct figures. Each silhouette moved with eerie grace, weaving through the air in a mesmerizing dance. If there were onlookers, they would have definitely struggled to discern the real Elder Xu amidst multiple figures.
As he approached Ling Xiaolong, a sudden gust of cold wind swept through. The surroundings dimmed, and a chilling sensation enveloped the area. With a swift and almost silent strike, Elder Xu's hand which was wreathed in an otherworldly darkness touched his foe's chest.
Ling Xiaolong stumbled backward, disoriented and momentarily stunned. A deep wound appeared on his chest. Blood flowed out like water. His heart seemed to have been pierced.
"Hehehe! This is why you should have never gone against Young Master Zhu. All he wanted was to 'play' with you a bit. You should have allowed him to do as he pleased and agreed to keep away from Lin Weiwei, and everything would have been fine. Now, look at the fate you've brought upon yourself by opposing Young Master Zhu."
"Remember in your next life that Young Master Zhu is the face of Dark God's Valley. Going against him means standing against the Dark God's Valley. Then, the entire Dark God's Valley will become your enemy. Make sure to steer clear of Young Master Zhu in your next life, staying as far away as possible."
Elder Xu laughed loudly as he spoke proudly.
Previously, although he had heavily wounded Ling Xiaolong, it was not as life-threatening as this time. This time, Ling Xiaolong's heart had been pierced through. If nothing goes wrong, Ling Xiaolong will definitely die.
However, when it comes to Ling Xiaolong, the odds of failure are always high.
This time was the same.
"Oh, really!"
A voice, which caused Elder Xu's heart to tremble, was heard from his back.
Elder Xu did not want to believe it but he still shifted his gaze from the dying Ling Xiaolong and turned back, only to see Ling Xiaolong playing with a blade. Just the sight of this blade sent a chill through his spine. It is because this blade was burning with white flame, and for some reason, Elder Xu felt like staying as far away from this white flame as possible.
Elder Xu failed to see Ling Xiaolong's eyes which were flashing with white glow.
As Elder Xu turned, the white glow in Ling Xiaolong's eyes diminished before completely disappearing.
Elder Xu could not believe his eyes when he saw Ling Xiaolong standing fine and without a trace of a hole in his chest. He hurriedly turned back, only to see Ling Xiaolong on his deathbed slowly disappearing.
"Illusion!"
If Elder Xu still did not understand what happened, then he would be a fool. It is just that he could not understand how Ling Xiaolong, a Celestial Sovereign, created such a powerful illusion that even tricked his senses completely.
Moreover, he never saw Ling Xiaolong lay any illusion formation or use Divine Inscription or any illusion-type skills.
When did Ling Xiaolong pull this trick? How did he do it?
When Elder Xu thinks about these points, he is horrified. It is mainly because he could not seem to see through Ling Xiaolong from the very start, as if Ling Xiaolong was surrounded by complete mystery.
"Damn it!"
"Celestial Domain, Open!"
Normally, a Master of Chaos does not activate their Celestial Domain because there is no need for them to do that. A Celestial Domain is more useful when a warrior is still a Celestial Being. After becoming a Master of Chaos, it becomes almost useless.
However, facing Ling Xiaolong, Elder Xu thought of using every little strength he had. He was feeling horrified in his heart.
He tried to activate the Celestial Domain. If a Celestial Domain is not broken normally, then activating another Celestial Domain from inside would shatter it.
Nevertheless, nothing like that happened.
When Elder Xu activated his Celestial Domain, it shattered before it could even materialize completely. This also means the difference between Ling Xiaolong's Celestial Domain and his Celestial Domain was simply too vast, enough to instantly shatter his Celestial Domain before it could materialize.
Elder Xu also tried to bend the Rules to his advantage, however, he realized that no rule was working inside this Celestial Domain. It was more void than the true void. Even rules of chaos were absent here and cannot be used.
Ling Xiaolong also noticed this point just now. He was surprised but did not make it visible on his face.
After that, Elder Xu attacked using his skills a few more times, but all his attacks were unable to even touch Ling Xiaolong, for he realized every time he killed or injured Ling Xiaolong, it was nothing more than an illusion.
Elder Xu also realized that trapping him inside an illusion was simply too easy for Ling Xiaolong.
"Since you've used up most of your skills, it is my turn!"
Ling Xiaolong, who was letting Elder Xu attack all this time, was finally ready to strike.
Brandishing the Celestial Glory Blade, he teleported right in front of Elder Xu and slashed, immediately cutting one of his arms.
"Ahhhh!"
Elder Xu screamed in pain, but his horror intensified as he witnessed his severed arm engulfed in white flames. The arm didn't simply burn; it corroded and vanished rapidly, leaving no trace behind.
"This... This is...?"
Elder Xu retreated in alarm, he was full of panic.
On the other hand, Ling Xiaolong frowned. He could not help but mutter, "Is killing a Master of Chaos really that easy? Don't they see the difference between a Celestial Sovereign and a Master of Chaos as high as sky and earth? Filling this gap is almost impossible!"
Ling Xiaolong did not realize that his earlier stunts had already horrified Elder Xu's heart. Elder Xu had started to have doubts about himself.
Moreover, when he attacked, Elder Xu did not try to defend himself. His heart was already full of terror so he was unable to react in time, standing defenseless in front of Ling Xiaolong. This was the reason why he was able to so easily sever one of Elder Xu's arms.
"Bastard, I'll kill you!"
Elder Xu was frightened at first. But the terrible pain brought his senses back. His heart calmed down all of a sudden. Realizing that he was actually terrified by a Celestial Sovereign, Elder Xu felt humiliated. Fury rose in his heart as he cursed and suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful aura, forcing Ling Xiaolong to retreat.
Elder Xu's eyes became red in fury, his entire being surrounded by dark energy. A monstrous storm brewed when Elder Xu finally attacked. This time, Elder Xu finally no longer held back and showed what a Master of Chaos is capable of doing.
The entire Celestial Domain shook violently and cracks appeared on the black sphere outside for the first time.
Elder Xu suddenly appeared in front of Ling Xiaolong as if he had teleported and punched him.
Ling Xiaolong's heart throbbed hard. He teleported a great distance, only to realize Elder Xu had also appeared in front of him the next moment, punching at his head.
If Ling Xiaolong cannot avoid this attack, his head will definitely blow into pieces.
Ling Xiaolong did not have the time to avoid this attack, he could only respond with a defense.
Lightning flickered on his body and flame burned. A spear flew out of his body. This was the Eternal Fury Divine Spear martial spirit.
Ling Xiaolong grabbed the spear in his left hand while Celestial Glory Blade was held by him in his right hand. He put both weapons in front of his head in an X shape.
"Bang!"
As Elder Xu's punch collided, Ling Xiaolong was sent flying. His head became dizzy from the aftershock as blood flowed out from his nose, ears, and eyes.
It was the second time Ling Xiaolong personally experienced the power of a Master of Chaos.
If not for his immediate reaction, his head would have blown off by now.
His hands were trembling hard. Cracks had appeared in both of his hands. Blood was pouring out from those cracks in a terrible manner.
Roarrr~
Elder Xu didn't stop there; his rage consumed him entirely, and he roared like a beast before lunging at Ling Xiaolong, delivering another powerful punch.
This time, however, Ling Xiaolong didn't allow the punch to connect with his body. His eyes emitted a green glow as he executed a subtle movement, adeptly evading the punch.
Puff!
Utilizing the Eyes of Insight to calculate the punch's trajectory, Ling Xiaolong then thrust his spear into Elder Xu's chest. But Ling Xiaolong didn't halt there; the glow in his eyes shifted from green to white.
Elder Xu endured excruciating pain in his chest, but then, he perceived Ling Xiaolong like a monstrous apparition, momentarily stupefied.
Capitalizing on this moment, Ling Xiaolong seized the opportunity to deliver the final blow. The Celestial Glory Sword, ablaze with Chaos Essence Flame, swung forth, severing Elder Xu's head from his neck.
"Urgh!"
Elder Xu's eyes widened, seemingly on the verge of popping out at any moment. However, he was powerless, for his head had been severed from his body.
