CHAPTER 1437: CHAPTER 1440: 2 SWORD LIGHTS, 2 CORPSES

Although Ji Ying felt the terror of Ling Xiao’s strike, he had no intention of retreating.

He believed his attack was not necessarily weaker than his opponent’s!

Whoosh!

The giant mouth of the wild boar closed, swallowing Ling Xiao whole.

Ji Ying was stunned for a moment, surprised at how easy it seemed—his attack hadn’t even been released, and it was over?

Just as he felt a bit disappointed, suddenly the wild boar let out a piercing scream.

Then, a golden light split open the boar’s body, and someone flew out from inside.

In that moment, instead of attacking, Ji Ying thought of retreating.

Because that sword light gave him a strong sense of murderous intent—a chilling and terrifying murderous intent.

If he didn’t dodge fast enough, he feared he’d be pierced by a single sword and perish.

"Can you escape? Didn’t you just say you wanted to kill me?"

Ling Xiao smiled coldly.

At that moment, the Destruction Sword in his hand seemed strange.

The sword was brimming with the Power of Light, emitting a dazzling glow.

"Destruction Light Sword!"

In the midst of battle, Ling Xiao once again elevated his technique.

He fused the Destruction Sword with the Divine Sword of Light.

One is a soul sword condensed from sword intent.

The other is a Divine Sword of Light condensed from inner strength!

The fusion of the two swords could cause tremendous devastation and destruction to both soul and body.

The dazzling light attracted everyone’s attention.

In an instant, the battles in other parts came to a halt.

Nan Sha noticed the commotion here and was startled.

He could clearly see that the power of Ling Xiao’s sword was enough to kill Ji Ying in one stroke.

If Ji Ying were to die, Nan Sha would be unforgivable.

Who is Ji Ying?

He is the second son of the main branch of the Immortal Island Ji Clan, one of the future hopes of the main branch.

But he wanted to help, yet couldn’t open his eyes due to the blinding light.

He could only vaguely hear the sound of the sword’s whistle, and then he rushed towards the sound, trying to intercept Ling Xiao’s inevitable strike.

"Kid, stop! If you kill him, you won’t survive!"

Won’t survive? Are you an idiot? Obviously, it’s you guys who won’t let me live; if I kill him, so what?

Ignoring Nan Sha’s shouts, Ling Xiao swung his sword.

Under the clear sky, a hair-raising scream echoed throughout Black Water Lake.

Ji Ying never dreamed that just as he was about to showcase his ambitions in the Dragon Phoenix selection, he would die so recklessly.

And his death was so tragic, not even leaving behind a complete body.

That terrifying Destruction Light Sword completely shattered his soul sea, then continued to tear his body apart, leaving him broken into pieces.

Of course, by this time, his consciousness had already completely perished; this might be the only consolation.

Nan Sha finally arrived, but Ling Xiao had already moved elsewhere, aiming his Destruction Light Sword at the Fourth Elder of the Giant Whale Sect!

"Little beast, I’ll tear you to pieces!"

Nan Sha roared in fury, finally realizing how tricky Ling Xiao was; this guy was like a slippery eel, and his speed was terrifying.

He wanted to chase but simply couldn’t catch him, only watching helplessly as the terrifying Destruction Light Sword descended on the Fourth Elder of the Giant Whale Sect.

The Fourth Elder’s body immediately fell apart.

And Ji Mengmeng and her group were liberated from their encirclement.

Since the start of the battle, thanks to Ling Xiao’s array formation, despite the battle lasting this long, not a single person from Ji Mengmeng’s group of about a hundred had been harmed.

But prolonged fighting inevitably leads to losses.

What’s more, seeing how troublesome Ji Mengmeng’s side was, two of the three elders of the Giant Whale Sect turned their attention to their side.

Even four or five of the nine Giant Whale Knights gathered around; their pressure was enormous.

However, with Ling Xiao’s single sword slaying the Fourth Elder of the Giant Whale Sect, they were instantly freed from their encirclement.

The battle came to a sudden halt.

Ji Ying was slain!

The Fourth Elder of the Giant Whale Sect was slain!

The scene unfolded in an unexpected manner for everyone.

Further angering the Giant Whale Sect was the fact that those who previously refused to heed Ling Xiao now gathered behind him.

These people weren’t fools; they could see that under Ling Xiao’s assistance, Ji Mengmeng’s side hadn’t lost a single person, while their two-thousand-strong forces had already lost over a thousand.

If this continued, they feared they’d all perish.

Ling Xiao certainly wouldn’t refuse those who came to him.

To enhance his side’s strength, why would he refuse them?

His array formation was designed to grow stronger with more people involved.

He didn’t expect these people to help much but at least they could keep the Giant Whale Sect’s grunts occupied, and if possible, tie down one or two experts, so much the better.

To buy him time to counterattack.

Ling Xiao had already handed over the formation diagram to Ji Mengmeng to control.

All he needed to do was leave his soul imprint on these people.

This was the only way the formation could succeed.

And if anyone attempted to betray him, he could be the first to detect it.

It was a win-win situation.

Nan Sha glared fiercely at Ling Xiao but didn’t make a move.

He never would’ve imagined that this cunning young man would be so terrifyingly powerful.

How did this guy train?

He shouldn’t even be twenty yet, right?

And those on Ji Mengmeng’s side had already come to see Ling Xiao as a deity descending.

Ji Mengmeng clearly knew how frightening Ji Ying was.

Coupled with his collection of Mortal Spirit Artifacts, his strength was even more formidable.

Yet, even so, Ji Ying was so helpless in front of Ling Xiao, getting instantly killed.

Even allowing Ling Xiao the chance to kill the Fourth Elder of the Giant Whale Sect.

Just two swords, and two mighty enemies were gone.

If earlier the deaths of Tu Shan Ying, Nan Xiong, and the Man in Red Robe were due to accidents and carelessness, then this time, finding such excuses would seem unreasonable.

Ling Xiao’s strength was unquestionably formidable!

"Young hero, I didn’t expect you to be so strong, but now that you’ve killed Ji Ying, I’m afraid the Ji Clan will soon come to know of it.

The Giant Whale Sect may not be terrifying, but when the Ji Clan sends their core experts, you’ll have no way to escape."

Ji Mengmeng suggested, "So my advice is that if you get a chance, you’d better escape; don’t worry about us."

"Escape? Once decided to fight together, I won’t easily run away.

Ling Xiao was this kind of person—once united, he’d never leave his comrades to fend for themselves, unless they were all dead.

Only then would he leave, find a way to get stronger, and come back for revenge.

"All of you, continue attacking those trash; this kid, leave him for me to deal with!"

Nan Sha dared not let anyone else handle Ling Xiao.

Only personally would he feel secure.

After all, he was a Seventh Celestial Realm Warrior, whereas Ling Xiao only seemed to have just broken through to the Fourth Cave Sky Realm, a far cry from him.

Ling Xiao’s speed was incredible.

But during the chase earlier, he had already set up his giant net.

This was a special trap for dealing with speed-type martial artists.
