Chapter 277: Chapter 224: Outburst
The men besieging Ling Xiao all clearly felt a drastic change in the atmosphere around them!
They couldn’t sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but they could feel the shift in the surrounding energy! For a moment, a horrified look appeared in the eyes of all three. They stared in terror at the man whom the three of them, all High-level Demon Swordmasters, had only managed to injure by giving it their all. They exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.
Almost simultaneously, the three Demon Sword Masters all unleashed their most powerful sword techniques!
"Stellar Flare!"
A Fifth Rank Demon Sword Master roared, his sword instantly unleashing thousands of points of Sword Qi toward Ling Xiao!
The Sword Qi was entirely aquamarine, as mesmerizing and dazzling as the stars in the sky!
Howling, it swept toward Ling Xiao like a heaven-blotting flood!
"Flame Godslayer!"
Another, a Sixth Rank Demon Sword Master, erupted with an utterly terrifying aura. As his aura surged, it seemed he was on the verge of breaking through the Demon Sword Master level and entering the Sword Sect Realm!
A fiery-red beam of light over ten meters long, accompanied by a piercing shriek, shot toward Ling Xiao as fast as lightning!
"Gale Sweeps All Things!"
The third Demon Sword Master’s longsword suddenly shot out a fierce gale. Even from a great distance, it blew away the debris and rubble from the collapsed wooden building below, terrifying the onlookers who had been watching from afar. They screamed and fled even further away!
Seeing this, the few Demon Sword Masters besieging Song Mingyue abandoned her and leaped away. Not even they, fellow Demon Sword Masters, would dare to face this tripartite killing blow head-on!
The consequence of trying to block it would be obliteration, not even dust left behind!
Song Mingyue’s eyes were filled with anxiety. She wanted to rush forward to help, but she saw the three streams of destructive power already upon Ling Xiao. Her eyes nearly bursting from their sockets, Song Mingyue screamed, "Ling Xiao!"
Standing a little farther away, Ling Su’s beautiful eyes also filled with tears. She choked out in a low voice, "Little brother, I’ve doomed you!"
"Then you can go to hell with him!"
A savage grin on his face, Zhe Xiaoxing advanced on Ling Su step by step, sword in hand. He’d had enough humiliation for one day. He had happened to overhear what Ling Su said, and his surprise and joy were indescribable. ’This is just too easy!’
’I can’t believe the person in the cloak is actually Ling Su. And those two... were they the ones who beat me up tonight? No, that can’t be right. Maybe they’re accomplices!’ Zhe Xiaoxing thought to himself. ’Doesn’t matter if they’re accomplices or not, this woman absolutely cannot be allowed to live! With my power as a Sixth Rank Mad Swordsman, killing her will be a piece of cake!’
’With a single slash, my dear old dad will never be able to have her! Hmph,’ Zhe Xiaoxing thought again. ’My father isn’t actually a lecher; he just has extremely high standards for women. Ordinary women, even a Royal Princess, wouldn’t catch his eye. So, I don’t have to worry about him just finding some random woman to have a child with.’
’All I have to do is kill this woman. I just have to kill her!’
Zhe Xiaoxing hardened his heart. ’Even if this is cruel to a beautiful woman, for my mother’s status, for my own status... I... I can’t worry about that right now!’
Ling Su looked at Zhe Xiaoxing without a trace of fear in her eyes and said coldly, "Zhe Xiaoxing, if you’re a man, then kill me with one strike! Just looking at you makes me sick!"
Zhe Xiaoxing flew into a rage. His tastes might have been a bit... unusual, but he never thought it was a big deal. Plenty of nobles had the same preference! And wasn’t his Zhe Family far superior to any noble? But to be insulted to his face by a peerless beauty... Zhe Xiaoxing’s pride couldn’t take it.
He sneered, "Fine, then this Young Master will grant your wish! But, this Young Master hasn’t seen your beautiful body yet! Hehe, my family’s heirloom sword technique is... excellent for stripping a woman’s clothes! Are you going to take them off yourself, or should I help you?"
"I’ll fight you to the death!"
Ling Su cried out and her sword shot out a blast of Sword Qi—it was the Ling Family’s heirloom technique, "Hurricane Break." She slashed viciously at Zhe Xiaoxing, who just laughed, his words growing more brazen. "Beauty, I didn’t realize you had such a fiery temper! This Young Master is thinking, maybe we shouldn’t use swords. This Young Master can use his ’spear’ to battle you for three hundred rounds... Ah! You bitch! To use such a shameless trick!" As he spoke, he brandished his sword. The power of a Sixth Rank Mad Swordsman was not to be underestimated, and Ling Su couldn’t get close to him.
It turned out Ling Su had feinted an attack with the sword in her right hand, while her left hand had, without warning, thrown a handful of sand. Zhe Xiaoxing, caught up in his gloating, never expected the woman to be so cunning. He fell for it, his eyes squeezed shut, unable to open them at all!
Zhe Xiaoxing roared, "You damn whore! I’m going to tear you to pieces today!"
...
A tremor pulsed through Ling Xiao like a tidal wave, one fierce surge after another, making it impossible for him to control his own hands. Countless streams of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured madly into his body. The red glow on the blade of the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword in his hand grew more dazzling and conspicuous, and the faint sound of a dragon’s cry echoed from it!
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continuously hissed out from the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword, forming a long, seemingly corporeal, red Sword Qi! Just as the killing blow from the three opponents was about to land on Ling Xiao’s head.
If he were hit by the combined attack of these three, he would surely die, no matter how many thousands of Magic spells he knew!
BOOM!
The collapsed wooden building below was churned by the approaching Sword Qi, causing it to collapse even further!
A tremendous crash erupted, followed by a series of CRACKS and RATTLES.
At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within Ling Xiao’s body seemed to reach a critical point, triggered by the three powerful forces, causing it to explode in an instant.
And Ling Xiao, as if venting, let out a furious roar!
An invisible force suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao’s body!
It mixed with the three incomparably powerful killing blows and swept clean an area of two to three hundred meters around them!
All the buildings collapsed one after another as if they were rotten wood. The sound of RUMBLING echoed continuously. The scene was like the end of the world. Fortunately, most people had already fled far away, and the residents of the nearby houses had long since run out after hearing the commotion. Otherwise, this force would have absolutely left many of them without a trace!
The three Demon Sword Masters in the air felt a massive force backlash and slam heavily into their chests. With a "WAH!", they each spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces as pale as gold foil as they stared at Ling Xiao below.
Their eyes were filled with utter terror!
’Is he a man... or a ghost?’
’What kind of power is this? Even a Low-Tier Sword Sect master, if hit by the combined fatal blow of the three of us, would be injured, if not dead, right?’
’How is it that this person doesn’t seem to be injured in the slightest!’
’This is completely illogical!’
The three Demon Sword Masters’ shock lasted only half a second. Ling Xiao’s body shot into the air, his gaze icily fixed on the three of them. Since coming to this world, this was the first time he had been forced into such a pathetic state!
If he hadn’t suddenly broken through his bottleneck and increased his strength, he would have died at their hands!
Ling Xiao felt not a shred of gratitude toward them. The Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword was already letting out an excited hum. Having devoured the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Soul, the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword urgently needed blood to prove its power!
Its master had been suppressed, and it was not happy about it either!
"Die!"
A single, chilling word escaped Ling Xiao’s lips. The Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword suddenly erupted with a blood-red Sword Qi over ten meters long, a seemingly solid blade of energy hissing from the sword.
Seeing that things were bad, the three Demon Sword Masters turned to fly away, simultaneously using all their Inner Strength to erect a defensive Protective Gang Qi around themselves. But they were sliced in half at the waist by the long stream of Sword Qi! Their Protective Gang Qi had no effect at all.
A rain of blood sprayed through the air!
"Hmph. Using Protective Gang Qi formed from Inner Strength to block my Sword Qi condensed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi... you were courting death!"
Ling Xiao sneered, his eyes simultaneously locking onto Zhe Xiaoxing, who was frantically attacking his sister, Ling Su. If his eyes hadn’t been blinded by the sand, Ling Su would probably be dead by now!
Even so, the immense Sword Qi of a Sixth Rank Mad Swordsman had left Ling Su covered in wounds and in a wretched state.
The other Demon Sword Masters had just re-engaged Song Mingyue, who was trying to help Ling Su. Ling Xiao let out a long cry, and the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword in his hand rang with an excited hum. It blasted out a long stream of Sword Qi. Like a god of war in the air, filled with irrepressible fury, he viciously slashed down at Zhe Xiaoxing below!
Zhe Xiaoxing didn’t even have time to let out a scream before he was sliced in two by the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword’s Sword Qi!
The heavily injured Ling Su gave Ling Xiao a look of disbelief before her vision went black and she swayed, about to collapse. Ling Xiao pulled an Elixir from his robes and put it in his sister’s mouth.
He turned, his gaze chillingly fixed on the group of Demon Sword Masters surrounding Song Mingyue. In truth, that group of Demon Sword Masters had already lost their nerve!
’Three Demon Sword Masters, all above the Fifth Rank, were all killed by this person in a single strike! And the Young Master even died by his sword!’
’We can’t stay in this Seven-colored City!’
Therefore, when Ling Xiao’s God of Slaughter-like gaze shot toward them, these few Demon Sword Masters could no longer bear it. Panicked, they abandoned the faltering Song Mingyue and fled into the air!
At this time, the entire Seven-colored City had been sealed off. The four city gates were guarded by a large number of soldiers, all armed with powerful crossbows. There were also rows of heavy ballistae loaded with huge bolts, each as thick as a child’s arm and over two meters long, with incredibly sharp tips!
Facing into the city, they had orders to kill any suspicious person on sight!
In this Seven-colored City, the Zhe Family was an existence above all else!
Ling Xiao held his weakened sister, Ling Su, with his left arm and supported the heavily wounded Song Mingyue with his right. He suddenly opened his mouth slightly and let out a long whistle.
The entire Seven-colored City was shocked by this long whistle!
In the night sky, from some unknown distance, a giant white bird flew over. It was like a fast-moving white cloud, soaring rapidly without flapping its wings.
clown flew over the Seven-colored City, letting out a loud cry as if it were a king surveying his domain, before slowly landing in front of Ling Xiao. Now fully grown, clown had a wingspan of seven to eight meters!
Its huge body could now easily carry the three of them. Ling Xiao first carried his sister onto clown’s back, then a terrified Song Mingyue also climbed on. Ling Xiao leaped on last. With a powerful flap of its wings, clown took to the air.
Ling Xiao stood steadily on clown’s back, watching the Seven-colored City shrink below. He sneered inwardly. ’Zhe Family, this isn’t over!’
