Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14819 The Light of the Sage

Ling Xiao remained expressionless, neither dodging nor avoiding, gripping the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword tightly with both hands. With a sudden twist, a circular sword energy barrier instantly formed, while the sword body erupted with an even denser red light, and the power of the nameless holy rune was fully unleashed.

boom!

The fist wind and the sword energy barrier collided violently, and the violent energy swept over instantly. Ling Xiao was blasted backward by this force, and a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, Ling Xiao's Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword, using the force of the collision, slashed fiercely at the right hand of the Lord of the Silent Court, slicing his right hand in two, causing blood to gush out in a gruesome sight.

Ling Xiao staggered to a stop, raising his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He licked the blood, a glint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes, his smile deepening, his tone laced with arrogance and excitement:

"It's been a long time since I've tasted the stench of blood."

This feeling of fighting to the death and giving it his all brought back memories of the desperate struggles and bloody battles he had experienced in the Realm of Annihilation. That exhilarating feeling made his blood boil.

The Lord of the Silent Court clutched his severed right hand, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with rage and murderous intent. He stared coldly at Ling Xiao, his tone icy and chilling: "You will taste even more blood... I will make you wish you were dead!"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao leaped into the air, holding his sword in both hands and raising it high. The Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword burst forth with dazzling sword light, and the red light of the nameless holy rune became even more dazzling. Then, he exerted force with both hands and slashed the sword down from the air.

Sword light cascaded down like a waterfall!

A massive sword aura, like a waterfall, poured down, carrying immense power and deadly poison, heading straight for the Lord of the Silent Court, determined to cleave him in two with a single strike.

The Lord of the Silent Court narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming extremely solemn. His figure suddenly became illusory, as he used some kind of strange movement technique to instantly evade Ling Xiao's fatal attack.

Ling Xiao's expression changed, and he was shocked. Just as he was about to sheathe his sword and adjust his attack, a tremendous force slammed into his back.

boom!

Ling Xiao felt a sharp pain in his back, as if he had been hit by a mountain. He was sent flying backward again, his blood surging and blood gushing from the corner of his mouth.

Before he could regain his footing, while he was retreating, a fist containing immense power, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, hurtled straight towards his face at an extreme speed, leaving him no way to avoid it.

A fierce glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. He forcibly steadied himself and swung the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword horizontally to block the attack in front of him.

boom!

His fist slammed into the sword, causing the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword to tremble violently and emit a buzzing sound. A violent force surged through the sword and swept across Ling Xiao's entire body.

Ling Xiao was jolted backward, crashing heavily into the boulder behind him. The boulder shattered instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Before Ling Xiao could even regain his footing, the figure of the Lord of the Silent Court appeared before him, his eyes icy cold. He exerted force with his feet and kicked hard at Ling Xiao's head, determined to smash his skull and end the battle completely.

A resolute glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. Instead of dodging, he took a step forward, the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword in his hand pointing directly at the throat of the Lord of the Silent Court... He was willing to trade his life for his life!

The Lord of the Silent Court's pupils constricted slightly, a jolt of fear washing over him. Ultimately, he was unwilling to gamble with his life. He wasn't confident he could kill Ling Xiao with that kick while simultaneously avoiding Ling Xiao's fatal sword strike…

Ling Xiao's physical body is too powerful; even if you are severely injured by him, you may not be able to kill him with one blow.

He himself was not confident that he could withstand Ling Xiao's sword with his neck, especially since the sword was covered with strange, nameless holy runes. Moreover, the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword itself contained deadly poison, and once pierced, death would be certain.

The Lord of the Silent Court decisively withdrew his attack and retreated. With a flash, he avoided Ling Xiao's sword tip. Ling Xiao's sword missed its mark and plunged into the rubble behind him, sending sparks flying.

The Lord of the Silent Court stared at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with apprehension and killing intent. After forcing the Lord of the Silent Court back, Ling Xiao's grip on his sword tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white. He admitted that he had somewhat underestimated the Lord of the Silent Court...

Even though he was suppressed by a major realm, his opponent's combat experience and physical strength were still incredibly powerful, far exceeding his expectations.

Of course, he was also aware that his current strength was still somewhat weak. If he could take another step forward, he might be able to easily crush the Lord of the Silent Court.

Just then, the Lord of the Silent Court slowly floated up, and suddenly beams of dazzling white holy light shot out from his body.

Surrounded by holy light, radiating a sacred and boundless power, it formed a stark contrast with the holy light power around him, appearing extremely eerie.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "What is this? What kind of power is this? It's so strange, possessing both a holy aura and a domineering pressure."

Xia Ming's voice immediately echoed in his mind, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness and vigilance:

"Be careful! This is the Holy Light unique to the Sanctuary! It is the life force of the Sanctuary's powerful members, containing the power of purification and destruction. It is extremely powerful and specifically counters the power of Holy Light, posing a considerable threat to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white holy light surrounding the Lord of the Silent Court instantly coalesced, transforming into a colossal white shadow...

The colossal figure, clad in white armor and wielding a massive sword, possessed a majestic countenance, resembling a holy knight from a sanctuary. Radiating immense pressure, it charged towards Ling Xiao with unstoppable force.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. He took a step forward, gripped the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword tightly with both hands, and slashed down fiercely. The red light at the tip of the sword flickered, and the power of the nameless holy rune quietly circulated once more, merging into the sword energy.

boom!

The sword energy collided violently with the giant white shadow, which was forced to a stop by Ling Xiao's sword and let out a muffled roar.

But the next moment, countless tiny beams of holy light burst forth from the giant shadow, engulfing Ling Xiao like a tidal wave.

As soon as Ling Xiao's body came into contact with the holy light, his skin began to corrode and ulcerate. Intense pain instantly swept over his entire body, as if countless needles were piercing his flesh.

He was startled and dared not linger for a moment, quickly retreating to avoid the eerie holy light.

But the giant white shadow refused to give up and roared as it chased after him. The giant sword in its hand, imbued with immense holy light, slashed fiercely at Ling Xiao, determined to cleave him in two.

A fierce glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. Without further hesitation, he thrust out the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword in his hand... This sword strike concentrated all his power, and the red light of the nameless holy rune erupted completely, making it a truly earth-shattering sword strike!

boom!

The white behemoth was struck by the sword and instantly exploded, transforming into countless beams of holy light that dissipated into the air. Ling Xiao, using the recoil from the collision, flashed away again, disappearing from his original spot and concealing his presence. (End of Chapter)
