Chapter 2738 - 2741: Netherworld God Killing Curse: Battle of Soul Secret Techniques

The Third Sect Elder launched an attack, and a giant phantom of the Judge’s Pen descended from the sky.

The pen tip released hundreds of black threads to envelop Ling Xiao once more.

Anyone could see that those black threads were incredibly sharp; if truly cut, one would be separated head from body instantly.

"Transform into Magma Three-Headed Dog Beast Soul, Scorching Hell, Magma Storm!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao wasn’t holding the Blood Thunder King Sword, and both the Dark Immortal Sword and the Black Demon Sword had been put away.

He changed his form, and a heated aura instantly surged throughout the entire arena.

At that moment, the power of the Magma Storm reached its peak.

Then it blasted toward those hundreds of black threads.

Terrifying explosions roared, as those black threads were scorched and burnt within the Scorching Hell.

"Kill!"

Ling Xiao bellowed, and the Magma Storm surged through the obstruction of the black threads and pounced toward the Third Sect Elder’s entire body.

At this moment, although his cultivation level had not broken through, he felt it was nearing.

The retaliation must start from this moment.

"Get lost!"

The Third Sect Elder’s expression was stern.

Being counterattacked by Ling Xiao was a disgrace to his aging face.

With a furious roar, he raised his right hand, and a ghostly hand formed by black energy blocked the Magma Storm.

Though the ghostly hand was burnt to dust, the power of the Magma Storm vanished at once.

The Third Sect Elder was not satisfied with merely blocking Ling Xiao’s attack.

He wanted to attack!

To make Ling Xiao desperately fight for survival!

"Netherworld God Killing Curse!"

From his mouth, four words were uttered, and then countless tiny black characters shot out from his eyes.

These characters formed a terrifying storm.

It was as if a Minɡ Shen was stepping out from Hell.

"Danger!"

Ling Xiao frowned; he did not expect the Third Sect Elder to still have such a powerful move at this point.

Yet, he did not intend to dodge.

He could sense that this so-called Netherworld God Killing Curse was not a martial skill, but a type of Soul Secret Technique.

Soul Secret Techniques target the soul directly.

The Third Sect Elder was attempting to destroy his Spirit Sea.

This was indeed the first time Ling Xiao encountered an attack from a Soul Secret Technique since arriving on the Xuanwu Continent.

Honestly, it did surprise him.

But beyond surprise, it brought anger.

This Third Sect Elder really seemed to want him dead.

If a person’s Spirit Sea is destroyed, even if the body remains intact, they become a walking corpse, worse than dead.

"Hmph, since that’s the case, don’t blame me!

Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, obliterate!"

Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit had always resided in Ling Xiao’s Spirit Sea.

The vast and boundless Spirit Sea was its territory, the source of its strength.

A terrifying will swept over the Netherworld God Killing Curse like a tide.

Since all the attacks happened within his Spirit Sea, outsiders naturally could not witness them.

They could only sense that Ling Xiao’s will suddenly became even stronger.

Though the Netherworld God Killing Curse was destroyed, more curse energy flooded in.

The Third Sect Elder was clearly determined not to give Ling Xiao any chance of survival.

"However much you send, I will annihilate just as much!"

Ling Xiao’s eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

The furious Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit formed into a silhouette within his Spirit Sea.

This silhouette was pitch black, without a face, wielding a sharp sword, and whenever it encountered the curse, it destroyed it instantly.

The curse energy couldn’t withstand a single encounter.

It’s expected; Ling Xiao’s soul power is dozens of times stronger than ordinary people.

Although since arriving on the Xuanwu Continent, he has primarily concealed his true identity without utilizing his soul power.

But the undeniable strength of this soul power is indisputable.

"How could this kid have such fearsome soul power? What exactly is his Martial Soul?"

The Third Sect Elder couldn’t believe Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul was the Sword Martial Spirit or any Beast Martial Soul.

He firmly believed that Ling Xiao’s body harbored an original Martial Soul, capable of encompassing all other Martial Souls.

It was this powerful Martial Soul that rendered his Netherworld God Killing Curse ineffective.

Moreover, to unleash the Netherworld God Killing Curse meant consuming significant soul power.

He sensed that his Spirit Sea was already turbulent, unsettled—unusual, due to excessive consumption of soul power, the soul itself couldn’t suppress the Martial Soul’s rhythm.

Despite his reluctance, the Third Sect Elder had to admit that this attack had failed once again.

Not only that, but even he nearly suffered backlash.

"This kid!"

The First Elder of the Sect displayed a look of astonishment.

She knew very well the strength of the Third Sect Elder.

Especially the Netherworld God Killing Curse, which belongs to the Soul Secret Technique, though not as powerful as the Death Prison.

But it is a specialized form of attack, leaving the enemy defenseless.

Honestly, had she not known about it, she would have suffered the same loss from encountering the Netherworld God Killing Curse.

Even knowing it, she would definitely not dare to face it head-on.

Yet what’s with Ling Xiao?

This guy, only sixteen or seventeen years old upon entering this reincarnation, how does he possess such mighty soul power?

Could he belong to the Soul Clan?

Not likely, the Soul Clan can be identified at a glance.

While the First Elder was puzzled, Ling Xiao had completely repelled the attack of the Netherworld God Killing Curse.

This time, it’s his turn to counterattack!

"Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique!"

Ling Xiao suddenly vanished from his original position.

At that instant, extreme fear surged in the Third Sect Elder’s heart.

The speed of the Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique surpassed even the Magic Dragon Illusion he had witnessed.

How could Ling Xiao possess such terrifying body movement technique?

Though terrified, he exerted all his strength and began to dodge using "Magic Dragon Illusion".

This "Magic Dragon Illusion" was one of the four supreme martial arts body techniques of the Demon Dragon Sect.

Ling Xiao aimed to learn exactly this.

Being part of the high echelon of the Demon Dragon Sect, the Third Sect Elder’s cultivation reached the requirement, allowing him naturally to cultivate it.

Though his mastery only reached Small Success.

Nevertheless, that ethereal body movement allowed him to evade any vital spots.

Ling Xiao’s sword pierced through his arm.

The pain made him grimace.

Had it not been for keeping dignity, he would truly have cried out miserably.

"What a ’Magic Dragon Illusion’, I do like it more now!"

Despite possessing the Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique, it belongs to Divine Abilities, strong indeed, but extremely consuming.

Usable at critical moments but cannot be employed frequently.

On the other hand, perhaps "Magic Dragon Illusion" isn’t as great as Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique, but it can be used repeatedly.

Its practicality evidently outweighs it.

He must have it.

Not managing to strike the vital spot of the Third Sect Elder, Ling Xiao’s expression didn’t change a bit.

Cause he hadn’t expected that sword to end the elder’s life.

The true killing technique lay ahead.

His body instantly transformed back into the Tyrant Blood Demon Dragon Martial Soul Transformation, after which bloody energy erupted forth.

"Demon Dragon Blood Curse!"

Once this move was released, the Third Sect Elder’s initially minor injury turned into a fatal wound.

Blood gushed like a fountain from that wound.

It truly shocked everyone.

"It’s not over yet, Bloodthirsty Plague Rat!"

Ling Xiao liked to use Demon Dragon Blood Curse together with Bloodthirsty Plague Rat because the combined effect rendered the power more terrifying.
