Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14848 Lin Hao's Defeated Flight

boom……!

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire Sumeru Array, and violent energy shockwaves spread outwards. Within the array, shattering sounds echoed continuously, and even the void trembled slightly.

Ling Xiao felt a tremendous force coming from the blade, his whole body trembled violently, his blood surged, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He was blasted hundreds of feet away like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed heavily into the light barrier of the array, barely managing to steady himself.

Lin Hao only retreated a few feet, his figure remained upright, but his face was slightly pale.

But no matter what, Ling Xiao ultimately blocked Lin Hao's fatal sword strike!

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared intently at Lin Hao, his heart filled with considerable horror...

Lin Hao is indeed far superior to Zhang Xuanyi. Even with the Sumeru Array suppressing his cultivation level, the gap between the two is still enormous.

Of course, it's much easier now than fighting outside the Sumeru Formation.

If they were outside, without the suppression of the formation, he would probably be completely killed by Lin Hao in less than ten moves, without even a chance to resist.

Lin Hao was equally surprised. He stared intently at Ling Xiao, his expression growing even more somber, and the unease in his eyes intensifying...

Ling Xiao's talent is truly terrifying. At such a young age, he can not only master two different sword techniques, but also cast such a bizarre array that even he can suppress!

If we cannot kill Ling Xiao today, he will surely become a nightmare for the Silent Court once he grows up.

At that time, let alone Lin Hao, even the entire Silent Court would probably be no match for Ling Xiao!

His talent has reached its limit, and there is no room for improvement. But Ling Xiao is still young, with a bright future and unlimited potential.

Thinking of this, the killing intent in Lin Hao's eyes grew even stronger. He stared intently at Ling Xiao, his tone cold and resolute: "Take another sword strike from me. This time, I will show no mercy and will surely kill you right here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and the longsword in his hand suddenly flew out and hovered in mid-air. The sword energy around him surged wildly and converged towards the longsword.

This sword strike was extremely slow, so slow it was agonizing. There was no sword light or sword energy on the blade; it looked plain and unremarkable.

But this one sword strike caused the entire Sumeru Array to tremble violently, and a deadly sense of crisis instantly enveloped Ling Xiao!

On the other side, Ling Xiao's face turned ashen, and his body went cold. He knew that this sword strike was Lin Hao's full-force attack, containing all of his sword power. If he did not use all his strength, he would surely die!

Ling Xiao dared not hold back any longer. He stomped his right foot on the ground, and a huge crack instantly appeared in the ground. The power of the World Lord, the sword intent, and the power of the holy runes within his body all erupted!

As the floating longsword approached within three feet of him, a huge and terrifying black shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

The dark shadows blotted out the sky, exuding a powerful aura of dominance, instantly enveloping the entire Sumeru Array Diagram. The whole world seemed to have fallen into an endless dark universe.

The dark figure stretched out a huge hand, tightly binding Lin Hao's longsword and the invisible sword energy.

The longsword in Lin Hao's hand was forcibly restrained, unable to move forward even half an inch. Even if he tried his best to activate his spiritual power, it was to no avail!

That was naturally Ling Xiao's Overlord Martial Soul, which he had completely unleashed.

This is a last resort.

Whether it's the Blood Sacrifice Blade, the Karma Blade, the Nameless Sacred Rune, or the Sumeru Array Diagram, none of them, when used individually, could withstand Lin Hao's full-force attack.

Only by using his greatest trump card... the Overlord Martial Soul, is there a glimmer of hope.

This battle also made Ling Xiao clearly realize that his cultivation level was still too low.

Now, although he has advanced to the limit of the lower-level master and is only one step away from the middle-level master, he still seems to be struggling when facing an existence of Lin Hao's level.

They can only barely hold on by relying on their last cards.

If we encounter an opponent of this level again in the future, will we have to use the Overlord Martial Soul every time?

If the Overlord Martial Soul were to lose its effectiveness one day, wouldn't he be left with no choice but to sit and wait for death?

Fortunately, there are many powerful figures and enemies in this chaotic martial arts world!

With his Devouring Heaven Demon Art, as long as he continues to absorb the cultivation of powerful individuals, his cultivation level will not increase too slowly.

One day, he will become so powerful that he won't need to rely on any trump cards to easily crush an opponent of Lin Hao's caliber!

"Excellent! Very good!"

Lin Hao was enraged when Ling Xiao blocked his all-out attack with such a bizarre method. His eyes blazed with killing intent, and the sword energy around him became even more ferocious.

One terrifying sword move after another crashed down on Ling Xiao like a tidal wave, each move containing deadly power.

Although Ling Xiao released his Overlord Martial Soul and barely managed to block Lin Hao's full-force attack, the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great.

He was still struggling to cope and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. He suffered several more wounds and his breathing became increasingly disordered.

Just as Ling Xiao's face darkened and he secretly made up his mind to use his last trump card...

Just as the Demon Needle was fighting Lin Hao to the death, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the Sumeru Array Diagram. The sound was filled with despair and vanished in an instant.

Lin Hao's expression changed drastically, his heart skipped a beat, and his entire body froze instantly...

Although Chen Sheng's strength was not as great as his, it was not far off. The fact that Chen Sheng could let out such a shrill scream and be killed instantly must have been the work of the demon spirit!

Ling Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes... Without a doubt, it must have been the demon spirit who killed Chen Sheng.

Without further hesitation, he put away the Sumeru Array Diagram, and the two instantly returned to the entrance of the Demon Lord's Ruins.

In that instant, Lin Hao didn't even think twice. He turned around and left, his figure as fast as lightning, speeding away into the distance without even stopping for a moment.

Clearly, he also knew that Chen Sheng had been killed by the demon spirit, and now he was the only one left.

If he were attacked from both sides by the Demon Spirit and Ling Xiao, no matter how strong he was, he might still be defeated and die here today.

Therefore, he must escape as soon as possible. As long as he survives, he can always find a way to avenge himself against Ling Xiao in the future!

The demon stood still and did not give chase...

His physical body was bound by the space here, unable to leave this place too far, and could only move around near the ruins, unable to catch up with Lin Hao at all.

Ling Xiao naturally dared not pursue him, knowing full well that he was no match for Lin Hao.

If it weren't for the demon spirit's intervention to kill Chen Sheng today, and without the support of the Sumeru Array Diagram and the Overlord Martial Soul, even if he hadn't fallen into Lin Hao's hands, he would probably have been seriously injured and in a sorry state.

Now that Lin Hao has escaped, it's the best outcome for him. (End of Chapter)
