Proud Sword Soaring Clouds

Chapter 430: Chapter 305: Kill 5

A happy smile touched the High Priest’s lips as he thought of how this outstanding young man was his son-in-law. "Don’t worry, daughter," he said. "He’ll definitely be alright!"

Ye Zi nodded firmly. "Mhm, he won’t lose! He’s never been defeated, not since the very beginning!" As she spoke, her eyes glinted with immense confidence.

The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor suddenly slammed his palm into Ling Xiao’s chest, roaring, "Die!"

The Refined Gold Moonlight Armor Ling Xiao wore suddenly erupted with an intensely brilliant yellow light. It completely reflected the immense force of the Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor back at him!

Caught completely off guard, the Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor sprayed a mouthful of blood, staring at Ling Xiao in terror. ’Is this kid unkillable? How could he be completely fine after I hit him with that much power? Not only is he fine, but he can even reflect the force back at me? Could it be that his strength is far beyond mine, and he’s not young at all... but some old monster who’s lived for centuries?’

While the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor was riddled with suspicion, Ling Xiao was also suffering. Even though the Refined Gold Moonlight Armor had protected him from visible harm, the palm strike from a Middle-to-High Tier Sword Emperor using nearly his full power had rattled his internal organs, almost knocking them out of place. Ling Xiao’s face was pale. He felt a mouthful of blood rise in his throat, but he forcefully swallowed it back down.

At that very moment, Ling Xiao had fully comprehended the first level of the Star Sword Formulas! ’Using a Middle-to-High Tier Sword Emperor as a sparring partner to perfect my Sword Techniques in exchange for a minor injury...’ Ling Xiao thought to himself, ’That’s a more than worthy trade!’

After swallowing the blood, Ling Xiao chortled. "Well, what do you think, old bastard of the Zhe Family? It seems your strength is nothing special after all! Hahahaha! Don’t you worry, you’ll be joining your brother soon enough! Oh... wait, that’s not right. Your brother’s soul is completely gone, isn’t it? Imagine trying to destroy my treasures by self-detonating! You old fool, just you watch!"

As he spoke, Ling Xiao beckoned toward the ground far below. With a WHOOSH, the Urgently Cold Treasure Cauldron and the nine hundred ninety-nine Cold Iron Treasure Swords shot up from the ground and flew toward him.

The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor roared, "You shameless, despicable brat! Don’t get so arrogant! Watch how I kill you!" As he spoke, he leveled his greatsword, bit the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. He pushed his power far beyond its normal limits. A blue light emanated from his body. From a distance, it looked as if he was about to merge with the blue sky. His figure began to slowly fade, as though he were about to vanish right before Ling Xiao’s eyes!

In the next instant, the Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor vanished from sight. It was as if he had dissolved into thin air, completely suppressing even his aura.

Ling Xiao threw his head back and laughed, then cried out, "Let me show you the real Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

As he spoke, the Demon Blood Red Lotus in his hand blurred, instantly thrusting out tens of thousands of times in all directions. Each thrust unleashed a blade of Sword Qi so tangible it looked like a physical sword. The Sword Qi blades were identical to the Demon Blood Red Lotus Sword itself, scattering outwards like a million blooming lotuses!

At the same time, Ling Xiao stored the Urgently Cold Treasure Cauldron and the nine hundred ninety-nine Cold Iron Short Swords in his ring. He then shouted, his voice ringing clear, "Old fool! I don’t need any tricks to kill you! Watch closely—I’ll end you with nothing but proper Sword Techniques!"

"Dream on!"

An angry, aged voice echoed from all directions. ’The Zhe Family’s Sword Techniques and Cultivation Technique really shouldn’t be underestimated! To think they’re this formidable!’

’But in my eyes, it’s just a petty parlor trick,’ Ling Xiao thought. ’Using Sword Qi to hide his presence... at best, that Tier Four Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family can only maintain it for a few minutes. It’s nothing more than a setup for a sneak attack!’

’And he’s trying it against my Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect...’

Suddenly, a panicked and furious voice cut through the air. "You... Your Sword Qi is damned strange! It can actually injure me!" As the voice faded, the Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor materialized, his eyes blazing with immense hatred. "Brat, if this is how it’s going to be, then I’ll stake my life against you!"

"Dragon-Slaying Sword!"

A torrent of incomparably sharp Sword Qi erupted from the greatsword of the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor, reaching Ling Xiao in the blink of an eye.

The Star Sword Formulas were so powerful because after cultivating them, Ling Xiao could execute their techniques without expending much True Essence.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect was merely the first level of the Star Sword Formulas, and Ling Xiao’s attack was only the beginning! Immediately following it, he unleashed a seamless torrent of Sword Techniques—Fleeting Light, Glimmering Starlight, Power of Stars—completely neutralizing the Sword Qi from the Zhe Family’s Sword Emperor!

Three thousand meters... two thousand meters... five hundred meters... one hundred meters!

As Ling Xiao closed the distance to the Tier Four Sword Emperor, the man inexplicably felt the Death God breathing down his neck. A look of terror flashed in his eyes. As a Sword Emperor Powerhouse, he could clearly sense a strange, oppressive presence radiating from Ling Xiao. With every meter the boy closed, that presence grew several times stronger!

Fifty meters... ten meters... The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor found himself pinned by Ling Xiao’s bizarre and incomparably powerful presence, unable to move a single muscle!

His heart began to pound erratically, feeling as if it might leap out of his throat at any moment. The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor let out a terrified roar, gathering all the power in his body into his Dantian, intending to self-detonate.
