Chapter 159: The Extent of My Power Is Beyond Your Imagination
Looking at Ling Xiao in the sky, everyone could not help but swallow hard simultaneously, their eyes wide with disbelief.
A deep sense of dread, coupled with profound terror, spread through everyone's hearts.
Guo Quan gritted his teeth and roared at the crowd.
"What are you all standing around in a daze for? That array earlier was definitely set up by him! He is just a man, not a god! He isn't that formidable. Quick, go get him and kill him!"
The crowd gritted their teeth and charged toward Ling Xiao once more!
This time, the numbers were even greater, dense and blocking out the sky like a sandstorm. Channeling immense energy, they swarmed toward Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao remained unhurried. Reaching out into the void, he channeled spiritual energy to materialize a ten-thousand-foot-long battle blade out of thin air!
With a downward wave of his hand, the blade radiance slashed through the air.
That supreme beam of light instantly split the atmosphere, its speed rivaling lightning, leaving the crowd no time to even think!
"Boom—!"
With a single downward strike of the blade, hundreds of people were cleaved in half on the spot. Then, the blade's might exploded amidst ten thousand people, detonating a massive mushroom cloud directly in mid-air!
Everyone's heart violently contracted and shook severely!
Too terrifying! This fellow simply wasn't human!
If the lightning from earlier could still be attributed to some formation he had laid out, then right now, with a casual wave of his hand, he could unleash a technique comparable to divine arts—this completely surpassed everyone's imagination!
Ouyang Xiaobai's mouth twitched violently!
Asking himself honestly, he could also execute the blade strike Ling Xiao had just used. However, it would require him to charge his energy for quite a long time! By the time he finished charging, he would have long since been hacked to pieces by a mob of weapons!
In comparison, Ling Xiao's ability to instantly cast such a powerful technique was defying the heavens to the extreme!
Which was superior and which was inferior became instantly clear!
The soldiers of the God-Extinguishing Palace Alliance could no longer hold their ground. One by one, they began to retreat involuntarily, their eyes filled with terror toward Ling Xiao.
"So... so strong!"
"This guy... how could anyone possibly win against him? We can't win! We're... we're going to die!"
Seeing this, a flash of malicious venom crossed Guo Quan's eyes.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he stepped forward and slashed down with his sword, instantly killing a disciple who was slowly retreating.
"From now on, whoever takes another step back, I will kill him! Advance, all of you! Advance! We have four hundred thousand people! I refuse to believe we can't kill a single Ling Xiao! Attack! Kill them—!"
With Guo Quan personally overseeing the formation, no matter how much these people wanted to run, they no longer dared to flee easily!
With no other choice, the crowd had no option but to grit their teeth and push forward bravely against their better judgment.
Ling Xiao was not in a rush either. Holding a cigarette in one hand, he swung his blade with the other.
Every single blade swing instantly claimed the lives of hundreds of disciples, and his blade-swinging speed was even faster than Ouyang Xiaobai's.
Many people charged up into the sky, but even more fell down, plummeting rapidly like dumplings dropped into boiling water.
The army of four hundred thousand shrank at a frantic pace.
Thirty-eight hundred thousand...
Thirty-five hundred thousand...
Thirty hundred thousand...
Twenty-six hundred thousand...
Every single second, the death toll reached into the thousands! Within a mere two minutes, the God-Extinguishing Palace Alliance was practically on the verge of total collapse!
Everyone below had broken down to the absolute limit!
Are you fucking kidding me? Are you even human? It's bad enough that you're fighting an army of four hundred thousand by yourself, but you're actually slaughtering them in batches continuously! It's like chopping cabbages—why won't you just drop dead?
Even Ouyang Xiaobai was on the verge of spitting blood.
Ling Xiao's strength was simply too monstrous, too heaven-defying!
This was completely beyond the power any normal human being should possess!
And what was most terrifying was that, if he remembered correctly, Ling Xiao should be extremely young.
To possess such terrifying strength at such a tender age—who else could possibly be a match for Ling Xiao?
Beside Guo Quan, those elders had their legs turned to jelly with fear, their eyes filled with anxiety.
"Young Master Guo, we can't keep fighting like this! If we continue like this, all our men will be wiped out!"
"That's right, Young Master Guo! If the disciples are all wiped out, our sects will be completely finished!"
"Shut your mouths, all of you!"
Guo Quan's expression turned extremely ferocious as he let out an angry roar.
"I haven't even made my move yet! What are you panicking about? Today, unless Ling Xiao is killed, no one leaves!"
With that, he drew out his last remaining Nine-Dragons Soul-Claiming Talisman!
Seeing this talisman, the crowd couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief!
They had just witnessed the terrifying power of the Nine-Dragons Soul-Claiming Talisman earlier! It could instantly obliterate experts above the fifth tier of the Martial Venerable realm!
Facing Ling Xiao, even if it couldn't completely destroy him, it would at least inflict severe injuries upon him! By then, everyone would have a chance to take Ling Xiao down!
Thinking this, the crowd immediately felt their moods ease considerably.
Guo Quan raised his head, glanced at Ling Xiao who was still on a rampage in the sky, and roared.
"Ling Xiao! You forced me into this! You can't blame me! Go to hell!"
Finished speaking, he quickly bit the tip of his tongue and squeezed out three drops of vital blood.
Because the amount of vital blood used had increased, the body of the giant dragon grew from one hundred meters to a massive three hundred meters!
"Roar—!"
Raising its head to the sky in a mighty roar, that golden giant dragon charged straight up into the firmament with an unstoppable momentum!
A flash of madness crossed Guo Quan's eyes, and his subordinates similarly wore ferocious expressions!
This time, Ling Xiao, this terrifying monster, would finally bite the dust!
Ouyang Xiaobai's expression changed drastically in alarm. He understood the formidable power of this giant dragon better than anyone else.
Therefore, the very first thing he did was grit his teeth against his severe internal pain and shout at the top of his lungs:
"Ling Xiao, you cannot take this attack head-on! You won't be able to withstand this power!"
However, Ling Xiao remained completely unfazed. Watching the golden giant dragon charge toward him, he simply threw a punch directly forward.
"Bang—!"
The two collided, failing to last even a single exchange before triggering a violent explosion!
The shockwave of this blast rippled outward rapidly, instantly obliterating several thousand martial artists.
Yet, the crowd felt no pity whatsoever; instead, the corners of their mouths curled upward.
Compared to the more than one hundred thousand disciples who had already died, what did a mere few thousand matter?
As long as Ling Xiao was killed, it was a net profit.
The crowd breathed successive sighs of relief and exchanged knowing smiles.
"It's done!"
"No matter how powerful this brat is, he's no match for Young Master Guo!"
"That's right! He's bound to be finished in the end, he has only himself to blame!"
"Young Master Guo's methods are extraordinary indeed! What capabilities does this punk have to even compare with Young Master Guo?"
The more Guo Quan listened, the more pleased he felt!
With a chuckle, he said,
"Not bad. Although it wasted two of my Nine-Sun Soul-Claiming Talismans, being able to kill two of the Four Young Masters of the Martial World means my life, Guo Quan, has not been lived in vain. Hahahaha..."
However, right at that moment, a chilling voice suddenly rang out from the sky.
"I'm not dead yet! There's no need to celebrate too early!"
