Chapter 12982 Breakthrough in the Martial Soul Realm

"Indeed, he suffered a backlash, but what shocked me was that the boy was actually proficient in soul magic. This ability is extremely rare among warriors, and I had never expected it before."

Jiang Yuan spoke slowly, his tone revealing his deep fear of Ling Xiao. He recalled the battle with Ling Xiao, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart. It was a fear of unknown power, and also a regret for underestimating his opponent.

“And his friend is actually a Tongtian realm expert. With such strength, even if our Jiang family goes all out, we may not be able to resist it easily.” Jiang Yuan continued, his eyes flashing with vigilance, as if he had already seen the crisis that might be faced in the future.

"We must act immediately. After we return, I will strictly order the Jiang family to raise the defense level to the highest level. There can be no slackness." Jiang Yuan's voice was full of firmness and determination. He knew very well that facing such a powerful enemy, any negligence could lead to the destruction of the family.

"Does he dare to come to the Jiang family to kill him?" Jiang Lianheng was stunned when he heard this. Although he also felt the threat from Ling Xiao, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Ling Xiao would not be so bold.

"Who can be sure of that kid's character? Since he has shown such strength and means, it means that he is unconventional and daring. If our Jiang family does not take strict precautions, if he really comes to our door, the consequences will be disastrous."

There was a hint of heaviness in Jiang Yuan's words. He knew very well that his worries were not unnecessary, but came from his deep concern for the future of his family.

Jiang Lianheng nodded. He finally realized that the threat Ling Xiao brought to them was much greater than he had imagined.

He looked at his father Jiang Yuan, his eyes full of admiration and trust for the family leader. He knew that from now on, they had to go all out to remain invincible in this unknown contest.

……

The exit of the mysterious area is shrouded in a layer of light mist, as if it is a portal to an unknown world, standing there quietly, waiting for the challenge of the brave or the solution of the wise.

Ling Xiao and Jin Yan stood side by side, their figures stretched out in the dim light, revealing an indescribable determination and tacit understanding. Their eyes flashed with a cold light, as if they were two sharp swords about to be unsheathed, ready to strike.

On the opposite side, the warriors from the Ji family and the Jiang family were on full alert. Although top masters such as Ji Chong did not show up, their lineup should not be underestimated.

The warriors of Wuhun Realm and Hunyuan Realm were scattered in an orderly manner, each emitting either hot or cold auras, and the air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Obviously, they also realized the preciousness of time and did not want to linger here for too long, so they only sent part of their forces to garrison.

"You..." A warrior from the Jiang family was about to speak, but before he could finish his words, he saw Ling Xiao and Jin Yan disappear from the spot like ghosts, at an astonishing speed, leaving only two faint afterimages that gradually dissipated in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, as if all the power between heaven and earth was detonated at this moment.

The terrifying attack swept through the crowd like a violent storm, and each strike contained a force powerful enough to shake mountains. The light and air waves intertwined, tearing the space into pieces, as if even time was distorted by this force.

Ling Xiao and Jin Yan's movements were in perfect harmony, as if they had already communicated with each other's minds. Every movement and every attack was coordinated perfectly to form an impeccable offensive.

There was no hesitation or retreat in their eyes, only the desire for victory and ruthlessness towards the enemy.

In this chaos, the warriors of the Ji family and the Jiang family cried out in surprise. They tried to resist this sudden attack, but they were helpless because of the disparity in strength and could only barely hold on. Some struggled hard in despair, while others chose to escape in fear.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not change this predetermined fate.

Ling Xiao and Jin Yan knew the importance of striking first. They understood that although the opponent was not as strong as them, they had a large number of people. Once they had the opportunity to unite, it would be a difficult battle.

Therefore, they chose the most direct and effective method - to strike first and solve these troubles in the shortest time while preventing the leakage of intelligence.

In this sudden battle, Ling Xiao and Jin Yan showed their extraordinary strength and wisdom. Each of their attacks was extremely accurate, and each of their dodges was just right. They seemed to be natural warriors, born to fight and fight for victory.

And in front of the exit of this mysterious area, they proved this with their actions.

About an incense stick of time passed slowly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and murder. Dozens of corpses were scattered on the ground. They lay quietly, silently telling the cruelty of the battle just now.

The elite warriors of the Jiang and Ji families, those once glorious Wuhun and Hunyuan realm masters, have now become cold relics on this land. The light of their lives has been extinguished, leaving only deep shadows and lingering energy fluctuations.

Ling Xiao stood in the center of the battlefield, with a faint aura surrounding him. It was a sign that after he had devoured countless martial soul realm energies, his internal strength had reached its limit and was about to undergo a transformation.

His eyes showed both indifference towards victory and complex emotions about the passing of life, but more of it was a firmness and determination, as if he was telling the world that he, Ling Xiao, would take this battle as an opportunity to embark on a more glorious path of cultivation.

At this moment, an unprecedented terrifying energy suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao's body. It was like a sleeping dragon being awakened, roaring towards the sky, as if to tear apart this world and pierce the unreachable void.

This energy contained Ling Xiao's desire for power, his persistence in martial arts, and his infinite vision for the future. However, this amazing energy fluctuation only lasted for a short moment, and then receded like a tide, returning to calm, leaving only Ling Xiao's more condensed and deeper aura.

"Breakthrough!" Ling Xiao muttered to himself. At this moment, he clearly felt the earth-shaking changes taking place in his body.

A closer connection was established between his soul and his martial soul. The once vague source of martial soul power was now as easy as using his own arms, allowing him to mobilize it at will.

This power makes his martial soul no longer a simple energy body, but becomes a part of his body, living and dying with him and fighting together with him.

For Ling Xiao, entering the Wuhun realm is not only a huge leap in strength, but also a sublimation of mind and will.
