"What a joke, you think a mere low-grade top-tier Jade martial arts skill can kill me?"

Demon Dragon Lin Quan sneered coldly, swinging his massive claw toward Ling Xiao.

Though he’s using just an ordinary attack, the power is surprisingly comparable to a low-grade top-tier Jade martial arts skill in the Transcendental Realm.

Boom!

Bang!

Ling Xiao’s attack landed directly on Demon Dragon Lin Quan.

Lin Quan seemed to have no intention of dodging.

He wanted to fight Ling Xiao to the death.

When Ling Xiao’s attack hit him, his claw also struck heavily on Ling Xiao.

Although the Demon Dragon’s body was torn open again.

It healed directly in an extremely short time.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao was slammed into the dirt by the Demon Dragon’s claw, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

His body felt as if it was falling apart.

"Damn, such a terrifying attack, but it was exhilarating!"

Ling Xiao cursed as he stood up, that attack unexpectedly triggered a significant eruption of potential within him.

His cultivation level rose from the Intermediate Phase of the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Layer Hell, enhancing by ninety percent, just one step away from the Late Phase.

This attack demonstrated its formidable strength.

"It’s over, Ling Xiao is really done for.

That Demon Dragon has an undying body, even in mutual assaults, the Demon Dragon absolutely holds the advantage, Ling Xiao is in trouble."

Anyone with insight could see this.

Lin Quan seemed to think he couldn’t block Ling Xiao’s attack, so he directly chose not to block it, instead, taking advantage of the moment Ling Xiao attacked to launch a counterattack.

In this way, when Ling Xiao struck him, he could strike Ling Xiao as well.

Despite Ling Xiao’s incredibly powerful attack.

But what of it?

He couldn’t hurt him and that’s that.

Unless Ling Xiao could use an excellent-tier top-grade Jade martial arts skill, there’s no way he could truly harm him.

Otherwise, he’s just wasting his inner strength.

"Hahaha, Ling Xiao, your time has come; let’s see what kind of trick you can pull off next."

Demon Dragon Lin Quan was already contemplating how to escape after ending the battle.

The Royal Clan certainly wouldn’t let people from the Demon Dragon Sect go.

He believed that the Thirteenth Prince would surely act as the Yellow Bird behind the Mantis.

"It seems that the setup we arranged earlier won’t be needed, Your Highness."

On the Flying Wheel Ship, An Hun said with a smile.

"No, it may not be necessary for Ling Xiao, but Lin Quan cannot be let go, even if it’s just for show, we need to capture him. This guy’s strength is formidable."

The Thirteenth Prince was thinking happily, planning to train Lin Quan as his own Death Warrior after capturing him.

Lin Quan decided to end the battle.

The massive Demon Dragon body began to gradually shrink, though the aura did not diminish.

It seemed to be concentrated entirely in one place.

At this moment, Lin Quan gradually reverted to human form, but it was still only a human form.

Most of his appearance still retained shadows of the Demon Dragon.

The head, torso, tail, and flesh wings were all of the Demon Dragon’s appearance.

Except for those hands, which he freed.

Those hands were meant to wield a sword.

"Another Divine Spiritual Tool?"

Ling Xiao looked in surprise at the longsword in Lin Quan’s hand, which structurally resembled the Eight Immortals Sword but had a different color and gave a different feeling.

"Haha, perhaps you don’t know, the Eight Immortals Sword comes in male and female pairs.

The dual swords are the true appearance of the Eight Immortals Sword. You took one, so let me take it back."

Lin Quan coldly chuckled, as terrifying inner strength began to pour into the Eight Immortals Sword in his hand.

"No matter how strong you are, the time with the Shadow Black Gourd is limited. How can you understand that the martial arts of the Eight Great Families are ultimately inferior to the Sect Leader’s martial arts?

Your martial arts can at most evolve into a move of ordinary top-tier Jade skills.

But my martial arts can evolve a move of excellent, outstanding-tier top-grade Jade skills.

That’s the difference!

A tremendous difference!"

Lin Quan spoke proudly, as the power in his Eight Immortals Sword gradually accumulated to its peak.

In the sword Qi, it seemed as if a figure was emerging.

Ling Xiao knew, that it should be the Elder of Eight Immortals.

"Eight Immortals Sword Techniques - Purge the Rebel!"

This move, Ling Xiao had never heard of before.

But he could clearly feel the power had caught up with the Fifth Style of Dark Shadow Martial Arts - Ghost Exterminating King!

Which was a martial skill he had also never used before.

Though he had long cultivated it to the Transcendental Realm, he had never used it because previous opponents weren’t qualified.

But today, Lin Quan unleashed an equally powerful martial skill.

When Lin Quan executed the move "Purge the Rebel," endless sighs broke out among the crowd.

They understood, Ling Xiao was defeated.

Completely defeated!

There was no chance of reversing the defeat!

Even if he doesn’t die, he can’t fight anymore.

After all, those watching were martial artists, they could feel it very clearly, Lin Quan’s strike, combined with the domineering Dragon Power, was overwhelmingly strong, almost suffocating.

"Haha, hahaha!"

Ling Xiao suddenly laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

Lin Quan furrowed his brows.

He hoped to see Ling Xiao kneel and beg for mercy; he wanted to see Ling Xiao panic and be scared.

"I’m laughing at you as a frog in the well! Laughing at you for being like an idiot!

Who told you that the martial arts of the Eight Great Families can only be cultivated to ordinary-tier top-grade Jade skills?

Who told you that I can’t cultivate formidable martial skills in a short time?

Do you think I’m like you? A martial arts cripple!"

Ling Xiao’s voice echoed across the battlefield.

This made those who initially thought he was dead show confusion.

Could it be that Ling Xiao still had life?

Was what he said true?

"Boasting again, putting on a front!"

Among the Dark Clan, the Dark Clan Elder shook his head and said, "As the Elder of the Dark Clan, I have held the Shadow Black Gourd far longer than him. What the sect leader says is true; that kid is just trying to deceive people.

It’s a pity the sect leader probably won’t fall for it."

"So that means he truly is going to die?"

The Elder of the Sand Tribe asked.

"Whether he’ll die, I don’t know, but he’s certainly going to be defeated. Alas, he indeed isn’t Lin Quan’s opponent. It’s a shame I hoped he’d severely injure Lin Quan before dying."

The Dark Clan Elder sighed.

His sweet dream seemed about to shatter instantly.

"You don’t believe it? Then today, I’ll show you what real Dark Shadow Martial Arts are!"

Ling Xiao clenched the Eight Immortals Sword, pointing at Demon Dragon Lin Quan.

"Does he also believe his own fabricated stories, perhaps?"

The crowd watching this scene felt a bit puzzled.

Some people really do exist who, after fabricating lies, end up believing their own deceit and even convince themselves the lies were true.

"Hahaha, hahaha, such a fool Ling Xiao turned out to be; I can’t believe I once feared him so much. It’s truly ridiculous to even think about."

On the Flying Wheel Ship, the Thirteenth Prince laughed heartily, feeling utterly joyful.

"Minger, what do you think he’s doing?"

Inside the carriage, Chen Canglan asked Hong Minger.

"He isn’t just putting on a show; he truly understands an ultimate skill as powerful as Lin Quan’s!"

Hong Minger analyzed.
