Chapter 2686 - 2689: If I Can Hurt You Once, I Can Hurt You Twice!

Ling Xiao could feel that the seal on his cultivation level within his body had shattered.

His cultivation had even surged to the pinnacle power of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Tenth Layer Hell.

Just one more step, and he could breakthrough like a devastating storm to the cultivation level of the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm - Eleventh Layer Hell.

Once he reached that cultivation level.

Purple Thunder General would no longer be his match.

Hope was growing bigger and bigger, and Ling Xiao's fighting spirit was also becoming increasingly vigorous.

Previously, he was blocked by Purple Thunder General and had no choice but to fight.

But now, he didn't want to leave, not without breaking through this cultivation level. He truly didn't want to leave Thunder City.

"If I can hurt you once, I can hurt you twice!

Purple Thunder General, you are too arrogant, so you can't see that my power is constantly increasing.

Before, I thought I couldn't defeat you, I just wanted to run away.

But now, I think I might really be able to defeat you!

Top-level Lightning Battle Form - Blood Thunder Assimilation!

Top-level Magma Battle Body - Magma Assimilation!"

With a loud roar, Ling Xiao's body's surface was suddenly covered with blood-red lightning and scorching hot magma.

At this moment, his combat power soared once again.

This scene made many people exclaim.

Ling Xiao had given them too many surprises.

Time and again, in one scene, after another, leaving them in infinite amazement.

But Ling Xiao knew, it was not over yet.

Tyrant Sky Martial Soul Celestial Dragon Power had already been used.

Next, it was time for Divine Phoenix Power.

A loud phoenix cry rang out.

In the sky, it seemed as though Tian Long and God Phoenix were spiraling and dancing before merging into Ling Xiao's body.

Ling Xiao's strength was still rising.

"Then let me test it again, just how strong is your Destruction Purple Thunder Halberd!

Shadow Martial Arts - Shadow Sword Demon!

Transcendental Realm!"

In the midst of his fight with the Purple Thunder General, Ling Xiao's move once again ascended.

Finally reaching the Transcendental Realm.

The power significantly increased several fold.

The two swords resounded together, causing the entire space to tremble.

"What?"

Purple Thunder General's expression turned very gloomy, and a trace of fear even flashed across his eyes.

He still swung the long spear in his hand intensely, attempting to knock Ling Xiao away like before.

At the very least, he wanted to push him back.

However -

"Crack!"

Something unexpected happened.

A clear sound rang out, and the long spear in Purple Thunder General's hand actually showed cracks.

This scene made the crowd's hearts leap to their throats.

Causing Purple Thunder General's eyes to tremble violently.

"Shatter for me!"

Ling Xiao roared, and the long spear shattered like glass under the strike of dual swords.

It was a Divine Spiritual Tool of the same grade as the Eight Immortals Sword, yet it was easily broken.

Purple Thunder General was shocked beyond belief.

However, Ling Xiao's assault was already coming, unstoppable like a blade from a vengeful spirit bringing doom.

Witnessing this scene left people in awe, their eyes wide, mouths agape.

Purple Thunder General's famed weapon was shattered!

The Divine Spiritual Tool that had accompanied Purple Thunder General for decades was broken directly.

Is this a dream?

"Such a terrifying young man! Such a powerful sword cultivator!"

"No wonder others say swordmasters are the strongest attackers in the world, I didn't believe it before.

But now I believe it!

This Ling Xiao is too strong."

"Indeed, we've almost forgotten, his cultivation is only at the Tenth-layer Hell Peak!

Quite far from Purple Thunder General's level."

"Can you blame us? This battle seems rather evenly matched, is Purple Thunder General's reputation undeserved?

Or is Ling Xiao truly that strong? That talented? That monstrous?"

No one knows the answer to this question.

Purple Thunder General can't answer them either.

Because at this moment, he doesn't look very good. Previously, he was extremely arrogant and didn't consider Ling Xiao as an opponent, but now he has to face the reality of his weapon being destroyed.

Ling Xiao's attack coming relentlessly.

"Such a swift sword! Such a sharp Sword Intent! Can't dodge it!"

Purple Thunder General is an expert, he knows very well how powerful the opponent's sword is.

Before, he even looked down on Gutianba for being incapable, for being killed by Ling Xiao.

But at this moment, he doesn't think that way anymore.

Such a sword, even he can't dodge it, let alone Gutianba?

But will it just end like this?

Of course not!

The gap in power cannot be bridged just by some auxiliary abilities.

Purple Thunder General's face turned dark, his palms flying up and down.

Without a weapon, he still has the Purple Thunder Martial Soul!

The Purple Thunder roared furiously as ten Destruction Purple Thunder Halberds rushed toward Ling Xiao, intending to completely block Ling Xiao's sword.

"Boom!"

The clash between sword and halberd resulted in a terrifying energy war across heaven and earth.

Purple and red lights intertwined, dazzling beyond description, causing many people's temporary blindness, unable to see what was happening.

The surrounding aura spoke of destruction and slaughter, though it was unclear which side it was coming from.

Finally, the collision ended, and two figures emerged from the center of the radiant light.

People stared at them firmly, wanting to know, what happened in that strike?

"Puff!"

Purple Thunder General spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the armor he wore shattered inch by inch. The terrifying bloodstains covered him head to toe, with drops of fresh blood constantly falling.

This scene was truly shocking.

However, Ling Xiao was eerily unharmed.

Just seemed to be slightly weak.

Did Ling Xiao win?

Impossible, how could he be unharmed under Purple Thunder General's attack?

Many did not notice that the Jade Rabbit Beast Soul behind Ling Xiao had vanished.

That was because at the crucial moment, the Jade Rabbit Beast Soul released the Jade Technique, protecting Ling Xiao, but resulting in energy depletion, soul core damage, and it had to return to Ling Xiao's body for recuperation.

"Purple Thunder General is indeed Purple Thunder General. If it were someone else at the same cultivation level, they would likely die from my sword."

Ling Xiao felt a bit regretful; that strike was almost the culmination of his current power.

Everything was so smooth.

At the instant the sword aimed at Purple Thunder General.

To maximize the effect, he even integrated White Tiger Power into it.

The only forces not used were the Soul of the Butterfly Girl and Tyrant Universe's powers.

"Ah——!"

After a long silence, Purple Thunder General let out a shocking roar.

The scars all over him began to rapidly heal.

He stared at Ling Xiao intensely, speaking words with the coldest tone in the world: "You dare hurt me!

You actually dare hurt me!

Looks like I did underestimate you, you are qualified for me to use my full strength!"

His words caused a mix of gasps from the crowd.

"It seems Ling Xiao has reached his limit. A strike so powerful didn't manage to seriously injure Purple Thunder General.

He truly deserves to be the strongest in the Sky Thunder Army, his full strength must be terribly frightening!"

"Indeed, such a pity for Ling Xiao; creating a miracle is not that easy after all."
