Chapter 12946: Fight if you don't agree

Jiang Taian and others who witnessed this scene could hardly hide the shock on their faces. Their brows were tightly knitted, and their eyes showed both fear of Ling Xiao's strength and confusion about this incredible phenomenon.

According to common sense in martial arts, it is almost impossible for a warrior in the Hunyuan realm to awaken his martial soul. This is not only a limitation of his cultivation, but also a constraint of the laws of heaven and earth.

However, Ling Xiao broke this convention with his incredible encounter. Not only did he awaken his martial soul, but his martial soul was also so strong that it was enough to make any martial artist of the same level or even higher level feel threatened.

"Boy, you..." Jiang Taian's voice was trembling. He tried to find his voice from the shock and wanted to say something to Ling Xiao, perhaps questioning or exclaiming. But before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao's figure disappeared in front of everyone's eyes like a ghost.

This sudden change made Jiang Taian's heart tighten. His years of combat intuition made him immediately aware of the crisis. He raised his hand without hesitation, spiritual power surging in his palm, ready to meet any possible attack.

It has to be said that the reaction speed of a Tongtian Realm warrior is indeed beyond that of ordinary people. It is a keen intuition honed by years of practice and hovering on the brink of life and death.

Although Jiang Taian did not personally capture the subtle moment when Ling Xiao's figure disappeared, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart like a cold current, making him instantly understand Ling Xiao's movements - that boy actually launched a surprise attack directly at him!
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. A vague figure quickly approached Jiang Taian's sight, accompanied by a heart-pounding murderous intent. Ling Xiao's bloodthirsty sword soul was like a beast that sprang out of the underworld, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, and fiercely hit the sword that Jiang Taian was holding tightly.

"Bang!" A deafening sound of metal clashing exploded instantly, shaking the surrounding space. This attack was not only an extreme test of strength and speed, but also a direct collision of the will and determination of the two strong men.

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Taian's mind, and he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated this young opponent.

He originally thought that with his strength in the Tongtian Realm, even if he just resisted casually, he would be able to easily resolve Ling Xiao's attack. However, the huge impact force coming from the sword at this moment forced him to re-examine the strength of this Hunyuan Realm warrior.

His brows were furrowed, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he no longer had the contempt and casualness he had before, but was concentrating on dealing with every attack from Ling Xiao. He knew that he had to go all out to gain the upper hand in this sudden contest.

Otherwise, you might really lose your life.

Facing Jiang Taian, the renowned master of Tongtian Realm, Ling Xiao's heart was filled with unprecedented solemnity and caution. He knew very well that although he had reached the peak of Hunyuan Realm, facing the lofty Tongtian Realm, even the most basic level, was an insurmountable chasm.

This is not just a gap in cultivation, but also a chasm in the depth of comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth. In between lies the mysterious martial soul realm that countless warriors yearn for but also fear.

There was no trace of contempt or laziness in Ling Xiao's eyes, but instead a light of determination and indomitable will. He tightly grasped the bloodthirsty sword in his hand, and every swing of the sword condensed his desire for victory and self-transcendence.

However, when this magical weapon that had accompanied him in countless battles was easily blocked by Jiang Taian, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a strong desire to fight and unwillingness in his heart.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, which showed both recognition of Jiang Taian's strength and confidence in the means he was about to use. As his mind moved, the vast soul power in his body surged out like a river bursting its banks, converging on the Soul of the God-Slaying Sword.

This sword has never really shown its true sharpness since he got it, but now, facing such a powerful enemy, it is finally about to shine with its own brilliance.

Under Ling Xiao's control, the Soul of the God-Slaying Sword suddenly transformed into a dazzling sword light, cutting through the void and piercing straight towards Jiang Taian with the momentum of destroying the world.

Wherever the tip of the sword passed, the air seemed to be ignited, bursting into roars, and terrifying power was released in an instant. Its power was no less powerful than the previous violent attack of the bloodthirsty sword spirit.

Jiang Taian's face changed slightly when he saw this. He felt the terrifying power contained in this attack, and quickly mobilized all his skills to dance the sword in his hand tightly, trying to resist this fatal blow.

However, at the moment when the Sword Soul of the God-Slaying Sword intersected with the precious sword, an indescribable force suddenly erupted, shocking Jiang Taian back again and again. Every step he took left deep footprints, showing the tremendous pressure he was under at the moment.

Bang!
With the last loud noise, Jiang Taian was forced to retreat more than ten steps, and his figure seemed to stagger. His face was solemn, and his eyes showed both shock at Ling Xiao's strength and deep worry about the outcome of this battle.

Seeing this scene, the originally quiet atmosphere in the field was instantly broken, and everyone's eyes turned to Ling Xiao, their eyes full of disbelief and shock.

They seemed to have witnessed an incredible miracle with their own eyes. Their mouths opened wide, with complex lights flashing in their eyes - surprise, confusion, and deep awe of Ling Xiao's sudden increase in strength.

"The Hunyuan Realm defeated the Tongtian Realm? How... How is this possible?!" Such whispers spread quietly among the crowd, and every word revealed a sense of disbelief. In their cognition, such a battle result across realms simply overturned common sense and was difficult to accept.

As one of the protagonists of this battle, Jiang Taian's heart was in turmoil. He felt an indescribable shock and frustration intertwined, impacting his mind.

He clearly felt that he was not simply repelled. The energy that penetrated into his body from Ling Xiao's attack was like a tiny sharp blade, wreaking havoc in his body, leaving behind tiny but hard-to-ignore scars.

Although these scars were not serious enough to make him unable to recover, the constant pain and discomfort were like a maggot in his tarsal bones, making him feel extremely irritated and disgusted.

He looked up at Ling Xiao, his eyes full of disbelief and deep fear. He had to admit that his previous assessment of Ling Xiao was far from accurate. He thought he had taken this opponent seriously enough and dealt with him cautiously enough, but the result proved that he still underestimated Ling Xiao's potential and strength.

Ling Xiao's seemingly insignificant Hunyuan Realm cultivation actually concealed such terrifying strength and fighting skills, which made him feel ashamed and angry. (End of this chapter)
