Chapter 2701 - 2704: Demon Dragon Sect Leader: Become My Disciple!

Ling Xiao frowned.

At this moment, it was absolutely not a good idea to let Chen Cangxiong completely destroy his eight chains.

That would be truly a loss outweighing the gain.

He rushed forward instantly.

Letting the Thousand Thunder Sword Qi pierce his body, he seized the Blood Thunder King Sword from Chen Cangxiong's hand.

"You destroyed my Bronze Coffin, so I will take your Blood Thunder King Sword. I don't need to wait; it's mine now!"

"You wish! That Blood Thunder King Sword is already fused with my Divine Soul Unity. You could never erase my Divine Sense!"

Chen Cangxiong roared, breaking another chain.

After snatching the Blood Thunder King Sword, Ling Xiao completely ignored Chen Cangxiong's shouts, focused his thoughts, and violently thrust his terrifying Soul Core inside.

In an instant, he completely erased Chen Cangxiong's Divine Sense from within the Blood Thunder King Sword.

In terms of mastery of soul power, Chen Cangxiong couldn't even compare.

"Puff!"

Chen Cangxiong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

"No! It's impossible!"

At that moment, he unleashed all his strength, finally breaking the remaining chains.

But Ling Xiao was no longer upset.

The grade of the Blood Thunder King Sword was far superior to both the Bronze Coffin and the chains.

Seizing this item was definitely a bargain.

"Die! You must die!"

A hoarse voice erupted from Chen Cangxiong's throat; he was completely enraged, like a bear wounded by an arrow.

"Now you've lost the Blood Thunder King Sword, can you still kill me?"

Ling Xiao looked at Chen Cangxiong disdainfully, "The one doomed to die will be you!"

Even Ling Xiao himself hadn't expected that at this moment, he would gain the upper hand.

Without the Blood Thunder King Sword and Sword Martial Spirit, Chen Cangxiong's combat strength was at best equal to his.

Would he still be afraid of the opponent?

"Blood Thunder King Sword Martial Spirit, release!"

Ling Xiao had once possessed a Weapon Martial Soul, but assimilated it for energy absorption long ago.

Back then, he was unaware of the benefits of a Weapon Martial Soul.

Now that he saw it, he naturally wanted to use it.

Not only did he take away Chen Cangxiong's Blood Thunder King Sword, but he also devoured Chen Cangxiong's Blood Thunder King Sword Martial Spirit.

Turning it into his own Martial Soul.

Now, he could wield a Mortal Emperor Tool without facing any punishment.

And as long as it's a sword, its power in his hands can greatly increase.

That's the advantage of a Weapon Martial Soul.

"With this sword, let's finish you!"

Ling Xiao raised the Blood Thunder King Sword, coldly gazing at Chen Cangxiong, "Die."

The same attack, countless red sword Qi shot toward Chen Cangxiong.

Chen Cangxiong's expression changed drastically.

Unexpectedly.

Even in his dreams, he didn't imagine that he would be pushed to such a dangerous situation by a martial artist he looked down upon and wouldn't even glance at.

"Ling Xiao, remember this, I'll be back!

Blood Thunder—Escape!"

Chen Cangxiong also had his life-saving ultimate skill; otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped safely numerous times from the Demon Dragon Sect's pursuit over the years.

And this Blood Thunder Escape seemed to have a similar effect to Ling Xiao's Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique, perhaps even stronger.

Ling Xiao could only watch Chen Cangxiong disappear before his eyes.

"It's a pity."

Ling Xiao sighed, feeling regretful.

Yet, in the eyes of others, it was astonishing.

Ling Xiao actually defeated Chen Cangxiong, Chen Dynasty's number one genius?

Forced Chen Cangxiong to flee desperately?

Saying this, probably no one would believe it.

The person who came from Demon Dragon City to aid Ling Xiao was equally shocked, even regretting not acting sooner.

Because he hadn't expected Ling Xiao to reverse the situation at the last moment.

This person was none other than Demon Dragon Sect Leader Chen Buyi!

Chen Buyi was also a member of the Chen Royal Family; early on, he was demoted to a commoner and exiled here due to some actions.

However, this guy possessed a terrifying aptitude comparable to Chen Cangxiong.

Moreover, he reincarnated several decades before Chen Cangxiong.

Thus, his strength was now no weaker than Chen Cangxiong's—perhaps even stronger.

Just how strong, was anyone's guess.

Anyway, Ling Xiao couldn't see through it.

Chen Buyi sighed, could not bestow his grace on Ling Xiao, feeling somewhat helpless.

Honestly, over the years, he had been dedicated to reviving the Demon Dragon Sect, just to overthrow the Chen Royal Family.

But the injury he suffered from the Thunder Emperor years ago stopped his cultivation from advancing any further.

Although this cultivation was still top-notch within the Chen Dynasty, he feared he may never improve any further in this lifetime.

For this reason, he had always searched for someone to inherit his legacy.

While Ling Xiao's performance outside Thunder City was already outstanding.

Today, he still wanted to probe Ling Xiao for a final time, and the result was, he liked this young guy even more.

"Join the Demon Dragon Sect, become my closed-door disciple!"

Chen Buyi came before Ling Xiao, speaking straightforwardly.

"Alright!"

Ling Xiao was equally direct.

After all, in the Mysterious World, a martial artist isn't limited to just one master.

Just like in another world from Ling Xiao's memories, students there could have many teachers from kindergarten to university.

As long as one doesn't forget those who benefited them, they won't be abandoned.

This differs from when someone is treated like a son.

Moreover, Ling Xiao could feel that Chen Buyi was very strong!

He could make him stronger!

In the entire Chen Dynasty, the one who could keep him from being killed was likely none other than Chen Buyi.

Besides, he could see that Chen Buyi was very eager for a good disciple.

With his aptitude, becoming Chen Buyi's disciple, it wouldn't be long before he could learn all the Sect Leader's skills.

Though he felt somewhat annoyed with Chen Buyi.

The guy had clearly arrived long ago, but refused to save him.

However, he wouldn't dwell on such minor matters; as long as Chen Buyi truly treated him like a disciple, he would regard him as a master.

Furthermore, Ling Xiao's visit to the Demon Dragon Sect was primarily to join and learn the sect's classic martial arts.

With Chen Buyi leading the way, it would be even better.

"Someday, I will reign over Thunder City once again!

By then, regardless of whether it's Chen Cangxiong or any bullshit Thunder Emperor or Thunder Venerate, they will wail under my feet!

I will make the entire Chen Dynasty my territory!"

This was the fundamental reason why Ling Xiao wasn't willing to flee the Chen Dynasty.

To steadily and methodically devour the Xuanwu Continent step by step was his set strategy.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal this plan to Chen Buyi.

Because he didn't trust Chen Buyi yet.

He believed there were no absolute good or bad people in this world.

The Royal Family might be vile, but people like Chen Cangmang can still emerge.

The Demon Dragon Sect was rumored to be evil and incorrigible, but surely, there were decent people within.

And determining if someone is good or bad is even harder.

It's not like television where a label decides all.

Real people are exceedingly complex.

Chen Buyi's reputation wasn't great; rumors portrayed him as ruthless and brutal.

Ling Xiao believed that.
