CHAPTER 1685: CHAPTER 1688: 18 HELL TALISMANS: GHOST KILL

"Good, good, life and death are both unimportant, I like you for this; it's rare to find such an interesting young martial artist like you on the Dragon and Phoenix Continent."

Fan Ruohai laughed with great joy.

"Fight!"

Ling Xiao turned to the man in purple, an astonishing killing aura emanated from his body, transforming into a terrifying sharp blade shooting forward.

The man in purple roared in anger, his powerful presence surged like a ferocious tiger.

The two killing intents clashed, exploding in the air with powerful energy scattering in every direction.

Since the battlefield was on the Snowy Plain and relatively far from the banquet, they didn't have to worry about the food and wine being damaged.

"Kill!"

The moment the killing intent clash ended, Ling Xiao had already mostly figured out his opponent's details. Instantly, he flashed, and in mid-air, a sword named Ice's Fury appeared in his hand.

Ice's Fury was a heavy sword with an inherently cold attribute.

In this icy and snowy environment, it was like a waking beast, becoming even more formidable.

Facing Ling Xiao's oncoming figure, the man in purple sneered disdainfully.

He stood as a Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level warrior, three realms above Ling Xiao in cultivation level, how could he take this ignorant lad from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent seriously?

He also wielded a sword,

but it shimmered with a purple light, resembling a swimming dragon.

"Purple Snake Sword Technique - Thousand Shadows!"

Amidst his roar, the purple sword in his hand pierced the air towards Ling Xiao, suddenly thousands of purple sword lights appeared in the air, looking extremely magnificent.

The entire battlefield was wrapped in this purple sword light, sending chills down people's spines.

"Fanciful but impractical, a worthless sword technique, annihilate it for me!"

Ling Xiao slightly shook the Ice's Fury in his hand, the Heavenly Empress Cells within him activated, fully releasing the five hundred Heavenly Empress Cells he had already ascended to.

The Power of Imperial Heaven and Earth concentrated on Ice's Fury, unleashing a breathtaking aura.

Destruction!

Crushing!

Intimidation!

Above is the Imperial Heaven, below is the Post-Earth!

Heaven and Earth, I alone am supreme!

In just a moment, the sky-filled sword light was completely destroyed by the terrifying sword qi, not a trace of light remained.

At this time, Ling Xiao's body had already closed in on the man in purple, two terrifying forces swirled on the Ice's Fury in his hand.

It wasn't inner strength, nor was it soul power.

But a fearsome power beyond those two forces.

The man in purple was shocked, hurriedly swinging his sword to block.

Sword met sword, and the man in purple felt as if a heavy hammer had slammed into him, his body lost control instantly, and he was sent flying.

In the air, a trail of crimson blood splattered, looking tragically beautiful.

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

He continuously shattered several pine trees on the Snowy Plain before finally stopping, landing on the ground.

The situation was extremely embarrassing.

Rage and astonishment showed on his face.

"Damn it!"

The other two Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level warriors saw Ling Xiao not only showed no signs of stopping, but continued his pursuit, they stood up attempting to join the battle.

"You two better sit there obediently; don't embarrass our Tianhai Empire's martial artists!"

Fan Ruohai's cold voice rang out, "A life-and-death duel is a life-and-death duel, is my word from the Fan Family so worthless?"

"We wouldn't dare."

The two shivered all over, hastily sitting back down in fear.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of something breaking through the air echoed, Ling Xiao's figure turned into a streak of light, instantly arriving at the spot where the man in purple had fallen, shadowing him relentlessly.

The man in purple didn't even have the chance to counterattack.

Seeing the snow-white heavy sword in Ling Xiao's hand stabbing towards him, the man in purple's heart was filled with fear and regret.

He couldn't understand how his opponent could be so strong; it was beyond his expectations.

"You say you didn't attack me out of pity and sympathy? Didn't want to bully the weak with strength? Is this your strength? It's utterly ridiculous!"

Ling Xiao's voice echoed continuously on the fifteenth floor.

Everyone heard it clearly and felt a burning embarrassment on their faces.

The man in purple who was involved was even more dazed, looking terrified.

He thought it would be a cinch to kill Ling Xiao and obtain the complete Heavenly Gang Earthly Evil Hot Pot.

But the terrifying reality told him otherwise.

The opponent, without using inner strength, had defeated him, a Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level warrior, with just one sword strike.

He couldn't even withstand one sword strike from the opponent.

How could the gap be so vast?

This one sword strike completely shattered his confidence, plunging him into a state of near collapse.

At the banquet, those martial artists who had previously slandered and insulted Ling Xiao were all trembling uncontrollably.

This martial artist from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent was simply not human, but a monster.

"I remember now!"

Suddenly, someone stood up, exclaiming.

"He is Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao!"

"Who is Ling Xiao?"

"Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty!"

In the White Tiger Continent, many martial artists knew the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty was named Ling Xiao.

However, there were many martial artists named Ling Xiao on the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, and they never expected that such an unassuming young man, who seemed only seventeen or eighteen years old, could possibly be the Heavenly Emperor who had turned the Tianlong and Divine Phoenix Continents upside down.

Fan Ruohai's eyes showed a look of surprise and delight.

The gap between the Fan Family and the Tianhai Clan was in military strength.

If they could recruit Ling Xiao, then with the Fan Family's wealth and resources, they would definitely not lose to the Tianhai Clan.

Mu Wan Shuang's beautiful eyes flickered, and the originally cold expression on her face finally melted a little, revealing some surprise.

After all, being able to easily defeat an opponent three levels above was something even she found difficult to accomplish.

"Die!"

Ice's Fury pierced through the void, also piercing through the head of the man in purple.

Yet, at the instant the blood splattered, Ling Xiao's mind suddenly shifted, a Blood Soul Talisman hung over his head, from which countless ghostly hands emerged, dragging the corpse right in.

This scene further astonished everyone present.

Even Fan Ruohai was unable to calm down for a long while.

This Ling Xiao was too domineering and terrifying.

"Was what he used at the end the Blood Soul Talisman?"

Fan Ruohai's eyes showed an even stronger shock.

The Blood Soul Talisman was something even he didn't possess, yet Ling Xiao not only had it but used it so skillfully.

This guy was even more terrifying than imagined.

Moreover, the energy he used to defeat the three martial artists before wasn't inner strength or soul power.

It seemed like the purest power between heaven and earth, intimidating those around.

"The Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, truly extraordinary, being able to stand out in the Tianlong and Divine Phoenix Continents, this level of strength is just right."

Fan Ruohai was now entirely convinced.

The martial artist before him, who claimed to be Ling Xiao, truly was the renowned Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Of course, this so-called fame was more of a mocking portrayal on the White Tiger Continent.

People often said, "Does a brat dare to arrogantly claim to be the Heavenly Emperor? Ridiculous!"

This was also the common sentiment among all the martial artists on the White Tiger Continent.

But how would these martial artists think if they saw Ling Xiao's performance today?
