Chapter 2739 - 2742: Defeat! Elder Zong’s Lifetime Reputation Destroyed!

"What! How can this kid know such an evil secret technique?"

The Third Sect Elder was scared.

At this moment, he was truly terrified.

Whether it’s the Demon Dragon Blood Curse or the Bloodthirsty Plague Rat, they are both special secret techniques that completely bypass defense.

Once it comes into contact with blood, the damage it unleashes will be even more astonishing.

The Third Sect Elder was startled; he knew that if it continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, he was truly afraid.

It’s known that throughout the history of the Mysterious World, there are numerous instances where exceptional geniuses have killed higher cultivation level martial artists across levels.

The Mysterious World never lacks geniuses.

Nor does it lack predecessors who have become stepping stones for these geniuses.

"Elder Sister, save me!"

At this moment, the Third Sect Elder had no means at all.

After he cast the Netherworld God Killing Curse, he couldn’t even stabilize his own Spirit Sea.

Facing the dual attacks of the Demon Dragon Blood Curse and the Bloodthirsty Plague Rat, there was no way for him to break free.

At this precise moment, Ling Xiao broke through himself!

His cultivation level surged to the First transformation Yin-Yang Realm - Eleventh Layer Hell Middle Stage Cultivation.

Now, he wasn’t just restoring his cultivation level; it was a genuine breakthrough.

After wasting several days, he finally got back on track once more.

To be honest, he had the Third Sect Elder to thank for this.

The Bloodthirsty Plague Rat brought the abundant inner strength of the Third Sect Elder, along with the Nether God Will, to him.

It shattered the shackles of his cultivation level in an instant.

After breaking through to the Mid Stage Cultivation level, his power continued to rise.

And at this moment, Ling Xiao’s combat power already surpassed the Third Sect Elder.

"Enough!"

Seeing the Third Sect Elder’s life hanging by a thread, the Second Sect Elder had to intervene.

He employed the strategy of saving the state by besieging the opponent’s capital.

With a sharp dagger in hand, he stabbed directly at Ling Xiao’s vital parts.

It seemed the Second Sect Elder intended to kill Ling Xiao outright.

"Despicable scoundrel!"

With a loud shout, the Second Sect Elder’s attack came to an abrupt halt.

Chen Buyi made his move.

He didn’t use any fancy moves, just a swift flick of his body, followed by a slap.

The Second Sect Elder was directly slapped into the air.

He then collided with the Third Sect Elder, and the two elders crashed into the wall like two rotten eggs.

When they fell, they were covered in stains and blood.

Ling Xiao knew that Chen Buyi was killing two birds with one stone.

On one hand, he saved Ling Xiao and taught the Second Sect Elder a lesson.

On the other hand, he prevented Ling Xiao from killing the Third Sect Elder.

After all, the Third Sect Elder was someone of high rank in the Demon Dragon Sect; if Ling Xiao killed him in front of so many people, it might cause trouble.

He did this for Ling Xiao, and for the greater good of the Demon Dragon Sect.

This is the difference between him and Ling Xiao.

If Ling Xiao were in charge, neither the Third Sect Elder nor the Second Sect Elder would have survived.

However, no matter what, the scene before them left the onlookers with faces of disbelief.

The place was eerily silent.

No one expected that Ling Xiao could not only withstand a series of powerful and mysterious attacks from the Third Sect Elder.

But he almost killed the Third Sect Elder in the end.

If Sect Master Chen Buyi hadn’t intervened, the Third Sect Elder’s life would undoubtedly have been lost today.

Of course, the Third Sect Elder’s reputation was now utterly destroyed as well.

Being defeated by Ling Xiao, and having to rely on the Second Sect Elder’s sneak attack to save himself.

If this got out, the status of the three sect elders within the Demon Dragon Sect would likely plummet to an all-time low.

Ling Xiao retracted his Beast Soul Transformation and then stood quietly, looking coldly at that group of stunned people.

Just now, these people knelt with the three sect elders, claiming he didn’t have the combat power of a First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm - Eleventh Layer Hell Late Stage.

Said Chen Buyi showed favoritism by granting him the "Demon Dragon Illusion" body movement technique.

Some even wagered their lives.

Now, they’re doomed.

Many simply collapsed onto the ground.

Previously, if Chen Buyi wanted to kill them, there wasn’t a suitable reason.

But today, they foolishly delivered that reason to Chen Buyi themselves.

Truly, self-inflicted sins are inescapable.

"Heh, you, dignified Second Sect Elder, aren’t you bringing glory to the Demon Dragon Sect by ambushing a disciple right after joining? You are truly great!

And you, Third Sect Elder, do you admit defeat willingly? Your previous arrogance and conceit are truly laughable.

Don’t you think, even I was able to kill the Purple Thunder General, could you possibly be stronger than him?

Or do you think all the reports your subordinates gave were false?

Or by now, do you still consider me, Ling Xiao, a fake?"

Ling Xiao looked disdainfully at the two elders on the ground who couldn’t get up for a while, his face full of mockery.

He coldly said, "Now, do you still think I haven’t reached the level to practice the "Demon Dragon Illusion"?"

The Second Sect Elder’s face was unsightly, yet he had no retort.

Everyone witnessed his sneak attack on Ling Xiao.

This fact couldn’t be washed away.

The Second Sect Elder’s face darkened even further.

Initially, he was smug, thinking he could teach Ling Xiao a lesson and conclude the battle swiftly.

Yet in the end, he not only failed to deal with Ling Xiao, but he also made a fool of himself.

As much as he was reluctant.

Unwilling to admit defeat.

Now, facing Ling Xiao, he had no combat power left.

He was defeated, and very thoroughly at that.

He thought his attack was mysterious enough, but he hadn’t expected Ling Xiao’s attack to be ten times more cunning and ten times more terrifying.

"It seems that this kid is indeed the now-famous Ling Xiao, there’s no mistake in that!"

Whether it is his domineering, unmatched momentum, or his incredible terrifying strength.

It mirrors that existence almost exactly as rumored.

Damn it, such a good disciple ended up in Chen Buyi’s hands. Moving forward, we three sect elders will truly have a hard time in the Demon Dragon Sect.

"Third Sect Elder, answer me, has my combat strength reached the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm - Eleventh Layer Hell Late Stage?"

Ling Xiao’s voice rang out again.

"Humph, no need to ask him. That’s already as clear as day. If anyone dares to question your combat strength in the future, I will be the first to not let them off."

Chen Buyi recovered from his shock.

With a cold harrumph, his surface expression was furious, directed at the Third Sect Elder and the Second Sect Elder.

But in his heart, he was incredibly delighted.

This was certainly because of Ling Xiao.

Frankly, even he hadn’t expected Ling Xiao could push the Third Sect Elder to such extents.

He initially thought Ling Xiao managing a draw with the Third Sect Elder was good enough.

That would also confirm Ling Xiao’s combat power.

But now it seems, he really underestimated this disciple of his.

This kid’s combat power is simply unparalleled, astonishing.

As long as Ling Xiao learns the four supreme martial arts of the Demon Dragon Sect, he believes that when Ling Xiao meets Chen Cangxiong again, he should win with even more confidence!
