Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14847 Bloodbath with Lin Hao

Ling Xiao gripped the Bloodthirsty Blade tightly once more, his sword intent surging instantly, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, radiating boundless light. Gone was his previous calm and indifference, replaced by a resolute determination to burn his bridges.

"Today, whether you want to kill me or not, I will not leave."

"because……"

He took a step forward, his foot striking the ground with a dull thud. His blood and sword intent intertwined, forming a powerful aura.

The crimson blade flashed again, more intense and sharper than ever before.

"I want to test how far I can go! I want to test whether my blade can cleave through this so-called heaven, and whether it can defeat you so-called top experts!"

……

Opposite Ling Xiao, Lin Hao stood still, his sword aura receding, yet still exuding an oppressive aura. He remained silent, staring at Ling Xiao with a complex expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing Lin Hao remain silent, Ling Xiao took a step forward, a slight surge of sword intent emanating from his body, his tone carrying a hint of arrogant mockery:

"What's wrong, Lin Hao? Don't you dare fight me? You were just looking like you wanted to kill me, why are you mute now?"

At this moment, Lin Hao suddenly looked up, all hesitation vanishing from his eyes, leaving only boundless rage. His tone was icy and chilling, filled with intense hostility: "You really think I'm afraid of you?"

Ling Xiao scoffed, his tone growing increasingly sharp, each word piercing the heart:

"No, not at all. You're so strong... Even though you were beaten black and blue and looked pathetic by the mayor of the underworld town a few days ago, you still dare to come here and put on airs. You've got some nerve!"

Lin Hao gritted his teeth, his face instantly darkening, and the sword energy around him surged once more, his killing intent churning.

"Heh, I admit I'm no match for that mayor, but who do you think you are? A mere brat, daring to mock me? You think you're worthy of mocking me?"

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, his tone becoming increasingly disdainful, deliberately targeting Lin Hao's sore spots:

"So what if I mock you? Go ahead and bite me if you dare."

Besides, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword is so arrogant that he was willing to acknowledge me as his master, but he didn't even bother to look at you. Look at you, how pathetic you are!

"You look down on even a sword, yet you dare to call yourself one of the Eight Great Divine Envoys of the Silent Court?"

These words completely ignited Lin Hao's anger. His face turned ashen and gloomy, and the atmosphere around him became extremely tense. He gritted his teeth and said, "You brat, you're asking for death!"

As he spoke, he stared intently at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with murderous intent, his tone resolute:

"Today, I'll see just how capable you really are, you rumored unkillable brat! I'll show you what happens when you provoke me, Lin Hao!"

Ling Xiao: "."

Lin Hao stopped talking nonsense, slowly placing his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his knuckles turning white, and his aura becoming increasingly sharp.

He took a step forward, and with just one step, a powerful and chilling sword intent swept out like a tide, instantly enveloping Ling Xiao.

That oppressive force was more terrifying than ever before, as if it would crush Ling Xiao's physical body.

Ling Xiao was about to retort and continue mocking Lin Hao when Xia Ming's urgent low shout suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Run! Ling Xiao, escape! You're no match for him now. If you stay any longer, you're sure to die!"

go?

Ling Xiao looked up at Lin Hao, who was exuding an imposing aura, and slowly shook his head, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that if he turned and ran away now, a scar that could never be erased from his heart would be left for the rest of his life, a shameful scar belonging to a martial artist...

He can escape, he has the ability to escape, but today, he doesn't want to escape, and he will never escape!

It was just Lin Hao alone; he hadn't reached the point where he was driven to despair and forced to flee in a sorry state. Although this duel was incredibly dangerous, and a single misstep could mean certain death, he felt it was worth the fight!

More importantly, the word "retreat" has never been in his bones.

So what if he's Lin Hao? So what if he's one of the eight divine envoys of the Silent Court? What is there to fear?

In this chaotic martial arts world, while there may not be countless martial artists stronger than the Eight Great Divine Envoys, there are certainly quite a few.

If you can't even get past Lin Hao, if you don't even dare to accept this challenge, then don't bother trying to gain a foothold in the Chaotic Martial World, and stop pursuing stronger power!

Who's afraid of whom? Today, let's settle this!

Ling Xiao gripped the bloodthirsty blade tightly, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, his tone resolute and arrogant:

"Fine, fine, since you're so eager to fight, then today I'll show you just how big the gap is between us!"

Seeing this, Lin Hao curled up a cold smile, said no more, and suddenly drew his sword and slashed!

This sword strike, seemingly casual and unremarkable, was merely a simple sword-drawing motion, lacking earth-shattering power or dazzling sword light. Yet, Ling Xiao's expression instantly changed, and his pupils suddenly contracted...

Not only Ling Xiao, but even the demon spirit beside him suddenly became serious, and the demonic energy around him surged unconsciously, ready to make a move at any time!

Ling Xiao knew in his heart that this sword, which seemed simple, actually contained Lin Hao's lifelong understanding of swordsmanship and was extremely powerful. He could withstand it, but the process would definitely be extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be seriously injured!

...Can Ling Xiao handle this?

The demon spirit stared intently at Ling Xiao, her eyes filled with worry.

But at this critical moment, Ling Xiao gripped the Bloodthirsty Blade tightly with both hands, merging all the nameless holy runes within his body into the blade.

Faint golden patterns instantly appeared on the jet-black blade. Then, without hesitation, he suddenly activated the Sumeru Array Diagram...

An invisible light screen instantly enveloped the entire area, forcibly taking Lin Hao inside!

Facing an opponent of Lin Hao's caliber, Ling Xiao dared not hold back in the slightest, nor could he afford to be careless...

He knew that Lin Hao's strength far surpassed that of Zhang Xuanyi of the Silent Court, and that he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

"What the hell is this?!" Lin Hao, who was sucked into the Sumeru Array, changed his expression drastically, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Because he clearly felt that his cultivation level had been instantly suppressed by a major level.

He was forced to fall from the Void Annihilation Realm to the True Return Realm, and the circulation of energy within his body became sluggish, greatly reducing his power!

Moreover, he is different from Zhang Xuanyi, who is very familiar with the Sumeru Array Diagram, since this treasure originally belonged to Zhang Xuanyi.

Lin Hao, however, knew nothing about the Sumeru Array Diagram, and the suppression he suffered was far more severe than that of Zhang Xuanyi!

Just as Lin Hao was in shock, Ling Xiao, holding the Bloodthirsty Blade, leaped into the air. The blade's light surged, carrying a bloodthirsty killing intent and the power of the holy runes, and slashed fiercely towards Lin Hao!

Lin Hao had no time to think and hastily swung his sword to parry. The blade light of the Lingxiao Bloodthirsty Blade collided violently with Lin Hao's sword energy! (End of Chapter)
