Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14998 I kill Jia, you eliminate Ling Xiao

Ling Xiao soared into the sky from the Holy Rune Academy, his body enveloped in surging black mist, like a black lightning bolt, rapidly heading towards the direction of the Silent Court.

Xiang Ying is about to break through.

This news struck him like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

He knew Xiang Ying's strength all too well... Below the eight strongest, she stood almost at the very top of the entire Chaotic Martial World, with formidable combat power and decisive killing ability, making her unmatched by anyone.

If she were to take another step forward and successfully enter the True Self Realm, she would become the ninth strongest in the Chaotic Martial World, with a status equal to the eight strongest.

At that time, the Silent Court will have two super strong individuals at its disposal, along with the unfathomable Jiang Yijian who has been hiding behind the scenes for many years. The power structure of the entire Chaotic Martial World will be completely overturned and reshuffled.

The Demon Soul Clan will never stand idly by.

They will definitely come, and they will do everything in their power, at any cost, to kill Xiang Ying at the critical juncture of his breakthrough.

Ling Xiao pushed his speed to the limit, his figure tearing through the void, leaving a long and dark trail behind him, the whistling sound reverberating through the sky.

The crimson light in his eyes pulsed and surged wildly, growing ever stronger, while the demonic blood within his body trembled violently, issuing urgent warnings as if a monstrous killing intent was brewing ahead.

After all, Xiang Ying had risked his life for him.

As he flew, his figure suddenly stopped.

It hovered in the void without any warning, as if it had crashed into an invisible and intangible barrier between heaven and earth, so abrupt that it was startling.

"Kid?" Xia Ming's voice immediately rang in his mind, tinged with doubt and urgency. "Why did you suddenly stop?"

It's extremely urgent for Xiang Ying; if we're even a step behind, it could mean…

She paused abruptly, her tone instantly becoming more knowing: "Are you going to pull another trick?"

Ling Xiao did not answer, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold and profound arc.

"You're really something," Xia Ming sighed helplessly. "They're practically fighting over there, and you still have the mind to scheme?"

Ling Xiao finally spoke, his voice calm yet revealing a composed and strategic mind: "Precisely because it is extremely urgent, we cannot foolishly rush in headlong."

His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Silent Court, his eyes bloodshot and unfathomable: "If the Demon Soul Clan wants to stop Xiang Ying from breaking through, they will definitely come out in full force and use all their trump cards."

Even if I rushed over now, at most I'd only have one more sharp knife. One knife can't change the entire course of the battle.

"So what are you planning to do?" Xia Ming asked curiously.

"Hehe, I'm going to deliver a big gift to the Demon Soul Clan!"

Ling Xiao chuckled, a swirling black mist around him, and he changed direction, speeding off in a completely different location.

Xia Ming didn't ask any more questions because she had already guessed what Ling Xiao was going to do. This kid never played by the rules.

I'm afraid the Demon Soul Clan will be screwed over by this kid again this time.

……

Hell.

The place remains as eerie and terrifying as ever, with countless wronged souls wandering around. However, because it was previously swept away by the Jia Shi, the place appears somewhat chaotic.

The air was filled with a strong, lingering smell of blood.

Judging by the time, it's only been a day or two since Ling Xiao led Jia Shi on a killing spree here, and Yelü Tiandu hasn't even successfully reconstructed his physical body yet.

At this moment, his soul was suspended in the void, looking furious.

Beside Yelü Tian was a withered old man, one of the hidden powerhouses of the Demon Soul Clan, whose strength was terrifying.

It can even be described as unfathomable.

"Have you found out? Just who is that woman? Why is she so determined to cause trouble for our Demon Soul Clan, and why is she associating with Ling Xiao?"

Yelü Tian asked with a gloomy expression. Ever since his body was shattered by Jia Shiyi's punch, he had sent people to investigate Jia Shiyi, and now he finally had some clues.

The old man nodded and replied, "That silver-scaled woman came from the secret realm of the Sword Emperor Sect. The Sword Emperor Sect was an ancient sect from tens of thousands of years ago, which has long been destroyed by time."

"There was originally a guardian soul in the secret realm, who called himself Jian San. However, according to the information we have gathered, that soul was casually wiped out by the Silver Scale Woman, leaving not even a trace of its remnant soul behind."

"Sword Emperor Sect?" Yelü Tian frowned, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity. "I've never heard of this name before."

"This sect is ancient, predating even the era of the Demon Lord," the old man explained. "Moreover, she wasn't alone in that secret realm; there seem to be quite a few other souls there as well!"

As they were talking, the old man suddenly looked at the shadow in the distance.

Yelü Tian also noticed that a figure had appeared in that place at some point.

If Ling Xiao were here, he would definitely recognize that the person who came was Hu Xie of the Barbarian Clan.

It's just a bit strange that Hu Xie's demeanor is completely different from when he was in the Sword Emperor Sect's secret realm.

Although the former Tiger Demon was wild and domineering, his eyes still held the sharpness and arrogance of a young man.

Now, his eyes hold a layer of vicissitude, gloom, and antiquity, making him resemble an old monster who has lived through countless years, inspiring awe in those who behold him.

The real Tiger Demon is dead; the current Tiger Demon is merely an old monster possessed.

Hu Xie encountered the same thing as Ling Xiao in the Sword Emperor Sect's secret realm. However, while Ling Xiao destroyed those souls with the God-Slaying Sword, Hu Xie was successfully possessed.

Yelü Tian asked coldly, "Who are you, and why have you appeared in my Demon Soul Clan?"

"You can call me Tiger Demon."

Hu Xie's lips curled into a strange smile. "On the day the Sword Emperor Sect was destroyed, I was lucky enough to escape with a wisp of my soul. I lived in this body for tens of thousands of years, and finally got the chance to see the light of day again."

"What exactly is that silver-scaled woman, Jia Shi?"

The smile on Hu Xie's face vanished instantly, and a deep-seated fear flashed in his eyes. Even his voice trembled slightly: "She is not some being, she is... the Destroyer."

"The Destroyer?" Yelü Tian raised an eyebrow.

"The Sword Emperor Sect was wiped out by her alone. In a single day, the entire sect was wiped out, not a single person survived."

Hu Xie's voice was low and cold, "She hates humans intensely, killing anyone she sees without mercy. But... she didn't kill Ling Xiao."

Yelü Tian's pupils suddenly contracted: "Why?"

"I don't know." Hu Xie shook his head, his tone solemn. "But I know one thing... Jia Shi will fall into extreme weakness and lose his fighting ability every now and then."

This is her only weakness. She should be in a weakened state right now. If we don't seize this opportunity to kill her, once Ling Xiao awakens her, we will have no chance left.”

Yelü Tian remained silent for a moment, his soul power surging with a chilling aura: "Who can subdue her?"

Hu Xie pondered for a moment: "Hong Qi might have a sliver of a chance. If the Demon Lord were still alive, he might be able to fight him."

But one of them is missing, and the other has long since perished.

A complex and unfathomable look flashed in Yelü Tian's eyes.

Hu Xie looked directly at him: "We can cooperate. The Sword Emperor Sect's goal is to kill Jia Shi; your Demon Soul Clan's goal is to eliminate Ling Xiao."

Each gets what they need, and there is no conflict. (End of Chapter)
