Chapter 2896: Chapter 2900: A Battle of Equals: King and True Demon

“Humph, just at the Twelfth-Level Hell’s Peak cultivation level, you dare claim invincibility in the Chen Dynasty and set up an arena here.

It saves me the time of looking for you.

If you continue to flee like a rat, you might preserve your life, but today, you are bound to die!”

Chen Cangxiong sneered coldly, releasing a brand new Sword Martial Spirit behind him.

The sword wrapped in purple lightning appeared immensely mighty.

This Martial Spirit was obtained by Chen Cangxiong only after arriving at Tianchi Mountain, named “Thunder Sword Martial Spirit.”

It perfectly merges the Sword Martial Spirit with the Lightning Thunder Martial Soul, making it ideal for Chen Cangxiong.

The release of the Martial Soul caused Chen Cangxiong’s aura to soar suddenly.

The terrifying waves swept across the entire arena.

Even the stones and earth outside the arena floated up as if pulled by a dreadful force.

This was just the overflow of energy.

Ling Xiao, facing the brunt of it, felt like a storm raging toward him.

He said nothing, as a blood-colored Sword Martial Spirit emerged behind him, the very spirit stolen from Chen Cangxiong.

Simultaneously, he entered the Black Hawk Beast Soul Transformation state.

At the start of a battle, naturally, one must first understand the enemy and oneself.

The Black Hawk Beast Soul has the special ability “Ying Yan,” which can remain active for extended periods.

Ling Xiao plans to use Ying Yan alongside Tai Chi Eye to perceive everything about Chen Cangxiong.

Thereafter, he will strategize to defeat him.

However, never underestimate the strength of Black Hawk Beast Soul Transformation.

Quite the opposite.

Black Hawk Beast Soul Transformation is currently the third strongest in Ling Xiao’s beast soul transformations.

First is the Butterfly Girl Martial Spirit Transformation, which Ling Xiao rarely uses, only at the end of desperation;

Second is the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul Transformation, with a complete Bull God Beast Soul boosting its power, thus stronger;

Third is the Black Hawk Beast Soul Transformation, which, despite the incomplete You Divine Beast Soul, still substantially enhances fighting prowess.

With the transformation complete, a layer of black armor enveloped Ling Xiao’s body.

Behind him unfolded a pair of domineering black eagle wings.

The sharp Ying Yan locked onto Chen Cangxiong.

The terrifying aura surged equally, intercepting the torrent sent by Chen Cangxiong.

The two surges collided atop the arena, then exploded.

The horrific storm swept around instantly.

Many martial artists thus couldn’t open their eyes.

“The aura is not bad, but unfortunately, still weaker than mine!

Moreover, you don’t seem to understand that a gap between major realms is not the same as a minor one. It’s a gulf of difference.

You cannot possibly be my match!”

Feeling Ling Xiao’s aura surge, Chen Cangxiong’s face remained unchanged.

He had previously fought Ling Xiao, knowing well Ling Xiao had such capabilities.

Thus, it wasn’t something to be surprised about.

He was calm because he had absolute confidence in killing Ling Xiao.

“Too much talk; I’ve already killed one First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Thirteen Hell Layers martial artist, adding you makes no difference!”

Ling Xiao casually replied.

Only he knew why his aura would be weaker than Chen Cangxiong’s.

It was because he hadn’t gone all out.

“You mean Li Xiaotian, right? I am ten times stronger than him!”

Chen Cangxiong retorted coldly.

This declaration shocked everyone present.

Li Xiaotian was already terrifying enough, and yet Chen Cangxiong was stronger by ten times.

Could Ling Xiao truly defeat Chen Cangxiong?

“Ling Xiao is merely wild sentimentalism; albeit having the martial arts of the Demon Dragon Sect, it can’t compare to Tianchi Mountain, not in the same league.

Apparently, this time, Chen Cangxiong might successfully exact his revenge, sparing us from stepping in.”

Under the arena, many martial artists searching to challenge Ling Xiao were present.

Seeing Chen Cangxiong jump onto the arena, they gave up.

Chen Cangxiong’s strength marked a significant superiority; if even he couldn’t match Ling Xiao, they’d be useless.

Conversely, if Chen Cangxiong killed Ling Xiao, they wouldn’t need to intervene.

“You say you’re ten times stronger? Try it first.”

With those words, Ling Xiao abruptly launched an attack, his Blood Thunder King Sword erupting in radiant blood-red Sword Qi.

Amidst the Sword Qi flowed blood-red Blood Thunder.

In the void, Ying Yan never ceased.

This sword wasn’t intended to kill Chen Cangxiong, merely to test his strength.

Facing Ling Xiao’s Sword Qi, Chen Cangxiong smirked indifferently, then moved his foot, his figure suddenly flashing.

A sword stronger than the Blood Thunder King Sword, the Sword of Kings, emerged.

Then, terrifying Sword Qi shot from the Sword of Kings.

“King’s Sword Qi, transcending any sword qi; Ling Xiao, you’re doomed!”

Boom!

The two sword qis shattered in the void, that Blood Thunder Sword Qi crumbled instantly.

Yet King’s Sword Qi did not pause and continued swiftly toward Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao swung the Blood Thunder King Sword to block it.

A “crack” sounded.

The Blood Thunder King Sword shattered.

At this moment, King’s Sword Qi had not dissipated, crashing onto Ling Xiao, pushing him back three or four steps.

“Magnificent!”

Elder Cang couldn’t help but shout.

Many supporters of the Chen Royal Family were also cheering.

Chen Cangxiong stood there, looking at Ling Xiao with a mocking smile: “Too weak, too weak, yet you dare proclaim invincibility?”

Ling Xiao gazed at the shattered Blood Thunder King Sword, sighing helplessly.

Gathering the fragments, he then took out the Demon Dragon Sword.

Indeed, Chen Cangxiong wasn’t easy to deal with, and he couldn’t afford to underestimate him.

The shattering of the Blood Thunder King Sword was a good warning.

“Weak? You might just find a bigger surprise!”

Ling Xiao smirked slightly.

“Magic Dragon Possession, activate!”

As five Demon Dragons surged into Ling Xiao’s body, his aura soared once more.

Quadruple attribute boost, although not yet on par with Chen Cangxiong, it was very close.

“You have the third-level Magic Dragon Possession! And you’ve obtained the Demon Dragon Sword!”

One shocking revelation after another caused Chen Cangxiong’s mood to sour.

He initially believed that being cultivated by Tianchi Mountain, with the Sword of Kings, he could easily enact revenge.

But now, it appeared easy revenge had become a fantasy.

To truly defeat Ling Xiao, a tough battle might still be inevitable.

“Why so surprised, you should feel proud.

Previously, fearing my strength, you fled to Tianchi Mountain.

Now, at least you can stand with me here on this arena; you should be delighted—from fearing me to confidently believing in defeating me.”

Ling Xiao taunted, watching Chen Cangxiong.

The surprise on his opponent’s face was quite amusing.

“You’re right, I should be happy; your arrogance made you reveal your hand too early.

Next, you are bound to die!”

In Chen Cangxiong’s heart, he felt immensely fortunate; if he met Ling Xiao later, he honestly wondered how he’d defeat this person.

At this time today, perhaps it was the best timing.
