Chapter 2452: Chapter 2455: Sand Hunting Demon (Part 2)

"I hope the Sword Clan won’t go back on their word! Let’s begin."

Ling Xiao was well aware that even with the array formation, rescuing Ling Jiaojiao was unlikely.

Although it might end in a Jade and Stone Annihilation, he didn’t desire such a conclusion.

If there was a simpler and more effortless way to resolve this matter, he would certainly choose it.

Defeating Sha Xin was much easier than destroying the entire Sword Clan.

Sha Xin’s cultivation level was likely comparable to An Feitian’s, stronger than Jian You and Jian Jia.

And he believed Sha Xin had some trump card; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident in defeating him after Ling Xiao killed Jian You and Jian Jia.

"Ling Xiao, be careful, the Sha Clan’s Sand Hunting Demon is a terrifying secret technique!

It can greatly enhance both defense and attack."

Lin Ruoxian suddenly transmitted a message to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was unaware of this, but she knew.

"What is Sand Hunting Demon?"

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"It’s similar to the Red Demon inside Chi Ling’er, but Chi Ling’er merely sold her soul to the Red Demon, while the Sha Clan signed a contract with the Sand Hunting Demon King, allowing them to nurture Sand Hunting Demon within their bodies.

In a partial transformation, they can borrow the combat power of Sand Hunting Demon to strengthen themselves.

Once fully transformed, the powerful Sand Hunting Demon will completely take over the martial artist’s body.

At that point, the opponent won’t be Sha Xin, but the Sand Hunting Demon."

Lin Ruoxian explained.

"No wonder she’s so confident, huh, but she has her reliance, and do I not have mine?"

Ling Xiao sneered coldly and said, "Sister Ruo Xian, rest assured, she will surely lose!"

"You certainly have confidence."

Lin Ruoxian shook her head with a wry smile, realizing she barely understood Ling Xiao.

Even in such circumstances, he was brimming with confidence?

Where did Ling Xiao’s confidence come from?

Lin Ruoxian really wanted to see.

"Are you ready?"

Sha Xin looked at Ling Xiao coldly and asked indifferently.

"I’ve already said, let’s start, no need for unnecessary words."

Ling Xiao said calmly.

He gripped the heavy sword in his hand, which was already riddled with nicks.

This sword was initially grabbed from someone else and had been used for a long time; it was time for a change.

But defeating Sha Xin shouldn’t be an issue.

Boom!

Their violent momentum collided abruptly, exploding countless vortices in the void.

Generally, momentum is supposed to be invisible.

But when cultivated to a certain level, combined with battle intent, it can transform momentum into a truly dangerous existence with tangible destructive power.

"Such strong battle intent, it seems you are indeed worthy of my full strength!"

The collision of momentum made Sha Xin realize that the person across was definitely concealing his strength.

Not at the commonly known cultivation level of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Third Layer Hell, Intermediate Stage.

But it’s better that way; defeating an enemy like this is more meaningful.

"Desert Coffin, bind!"

Sha Xin’s voice was low, and then her hands began forming seals at an extremely high speed.

This must be one of the Sha Clan’s secret techniques.

The difference between martial skills and secret techniques is.

Martial skills require performing moves.

While secret techniques require seal formations.

In that instant, earth elements began converging from all directions in the heavens and the earth, forming a massive Desert Coffin under Sha Xin’s powerful Sand Martial Soul manipulation!

This coffin gradually solidified, seemingly carved out of hard stone.

The power feeling was clearly far stronger than Jian You and Jian Jia’s moves.

Rumble!

The massive coffin descended from the sky, attempting to bind Ling Xiao within.

"Boring trick!"

Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully, waving his heavy sword, unleashing a powerful sword Qi into the sky.

Meteor Sword Technique Fifth Move—Heaven Collapse Earth Split!

Crack boom!

The massive coffin was pierced directly, unable to bind anyone anymore.

Sha Xin frowned slightly but didn’t panic.

A twisted expression appeared on her ferocious face as she yelled hysterically, "It’s useless. The Desert Coffin can’t be broken that easily!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the previously cracked coffin began rapidly repairing itself.

Even large chunks of the ground turned into quicksand, borrowed by Sha Xin.

Furthermore, a giant evil spirit phantom appeared over the coffin, tightly wrapping it, making its hardness even more terrifying.

"That must be the Sand Hunting Demon’s phantom."

Ling Xiao thought to himself.

But merely a phantom, thinking it can trap him is laughable.

"I told you, this boring trick puts me to sleep!"

"Destroy them, Meteor Sword Technique Sixth Move—Doomsday!"

This is the sword technique used to kill Jian You.

Though it’s a mid-tier jade martial technique, the power is incredibly strong.

Boom!

This time, the massive coffin wasn’t pierced but entirely shattered. If Sha Xin wanted to gather it again, she’d likely have to expend a lot of spirit.

"What!

Damned bastard, take this, Black Sun Sandstorm Fist!"

Although Sha Xin didn’t expect to completely trap Ling Xiao with the Desert Coffin.

At the very least, it should have some effect, right?

But the reality was frustrating.

The Desert Coffin hadn’t done anything at all and was shattered by Ling Xiao.

In violent anger, she directly used high-level jade martial techniques.

This Black Sun Sandstorm Fist, Ling Xiao had seen in the fifth level of the Ghost Prison, used by Sha Ying.

The terrifying fist technique unleashed a sandy storm, obscuring the sky and sun.

Only a black sun flickered with dim light.

With the roaring gale, this punch violently struck towards Ling Xiao.

"Purple Qi Eastward Sword, One Sword Returns to the West!"

Ling Xiao looked coldly at the astonishing punch, and then terrible purple Qi erupted from his body, soaring to the sky.

A massive purple sword then appeared behind him, thrusting toward that terrifying black sandstorm-like fist.

Bang!

A resounding boom occurred.

This Black Sun Sandstorm Fist from Sha Xin indeed had much more power than Sha Ying’s.

Ling Xiao responded quickly but naturally lacked sufficient power.

His body involuntarily retreated several steps, but this level of attack wasn’t enough to injure him.

"Die!"

Sha Xin seized a tiny advantage, naturally wanting to expand it quickly, unwilling to let Ling Xiao counterattack.

Thus, she swung another punch swiftly.

Although slower than Ling Xiao’s Wolf Travel Thousand Miles, her speed was far faster than warriors of the same level.

Another Black Sun Sandstorm Fist.

Ling Xiao seemed to see a massive black sun crashing toward him.

Fearsome sandstorms like wild beasts sought to devour Ling Xiao.

Facing this ferocious attack, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth.

The purple Qi on him grew more massive.

Nearly dyeing the entire sky purple.
