"Heh, the Xiao family is courting death!"
"Jiang Wang possesses the ability to challenge opponents two or three levels higher than himself. Even first-rate geniuses are no match for him."
"Xiao Lingyu is indeed a monstrous talent, but he's only an eighth-grade Martial Apprentice. There's absolutely no way he can defeat Jiang Wang!"
Watching Jiang Wang close in step by step, Xiao Lingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly, "Are you so confident that you can defeat me?"
"Of course, I'm confident. I, Jiang Wang, am a natural swordsman, and I excel at close combat."
Jiang Wang grinned hideously, "Today, I will not only chop off your head but also mince you up and feed you to the dogs!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wang brandished his long sword and thrust it toward Xiao Lingyu's throat.
Whoosh!
However, just as the long sword was about to touch Xiao Lingyu's neck, Xiao Lingyu suddenly disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Jiang Wang frowned slightly.
Just then, Xiao Lingyu's mocking voice came from beside him, "You can't even see through my Shift, yet you want to kill me? You're just daydreaming!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Wang suddenly turned around, only to be surprised to find that Xiao Lingyu had somehow circled behind him.
"Is this what you rely on?"
Jiang Wang sneered, "In the face of absolute strength, any strange trick is useless."
"Is that so?"
The corners of Xiao Lingyu's mouth lifted slightly, "But I just don't believe it."
Rumble!
Along with a low, muffled sound, a vast and powerful energy wave suddenly erupted from Xiao Lingyu's body, instantly filling the entire void.
"Martial Soul? You actually awakened a Martial Soul?!"
Feeling the surging Martial Soul energy in the void, Jiang Wang's eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Chapter 1391: Martial Soul
Xiao Lingyu's Martial Soul had actually reached the eighth grade, completely crushing an eighth-grade Martial Apprentice.
"I thought only that trash Xiao Long possessed a Martial Soul. I didn't expect you to have one too."
After a brief moment of astonishment, Jiang Wang returned to normal, his cold eyes carrying a hint of greed.
Although Xiao Lingyu was young and possessed an eighth-grade Martial Soul, with great potential, he was still somewhat inferior compared to him.
Jiang Wang knew that the higher the grade of the Martial Soul, the easier it was to give birth to a Martial Spirit, which would double one's combat power.
And his Martial Spirit was a seventh-grade Martial Spirit, not at all inferior to a ninth-grade Martial Spirit.
"A Martial Soul is good, but it cannot change your lowly status."
Jiang Wang sneered disdainfully, "After I kill you, your Martial Soul will naturally belong to me."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he said, word by word, "Since you insist on seeking death, then don't blame me!"
"Arrogant!"
Jiang Wang roared, raising his sword and charging towards Xiao Lingyu again.
Clang!
The two swords clashed, sparks flew, and Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Wang retreated.
"Your swordsmanship is actually slightly better than mine." Jiang Wang's brows furrowed.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Lingyu did not answer but leaped into the Xiao family's residence.
Jiang Wang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly chased into the Xiao family.
Just as Xiao Lingyu entered the Xiao family's hall, Jiang Wang attacked from behind.
Clang clang clang clang…
Xiao Lingyu waved his iron rod to resist Jiang Wang's attacks while simultaneously urging the power of his Martial Soul, frantically attacking Jiang Wang.
After a series of exchanges, the two fought to a standstill.
"This kid's swordsmanship is already comparable to Jiang Long, but his physical body is too weak and cannot withstand my attacks at all."
After fighting for a long time, Jiang Wang gradually figured out Xiao Lingyu's details and began to actively launch a counterattack.
Clang clang clang…
The sound of metal colliding was endless, Xiao Lingyu retreated steadily, and was soon forced to leave the main hall and enter the back mountain.
Jiang Wang followed closely behind.
The Xiao family's protective array had already been withdrawn, because the aftermath of the battle between Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Wang would damage the surrounding buildings and injure innocent people.
The Xiao family's protective array was made of hundreds of spiritual materials, tough and stable.
Even if a Martial Master powerhouse fought here, it would not be able to damage the protective array in the slightest, let alone destroy it.
"Boy, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Jiang Wang, who had caught up, shouted coldly and slashed at Xiao Lingyu's back with his sword.
Xiao Lingyu stepped on [Swift Wind Steps], narrowly dodging the attack, and then swung his rod at Jiang Wang's head.
Jiang Wang dodged sideways and continued to attack.
Bang!
Xiao Lingyu smashed a rockery, and the tough and thick rockery shattered instantly.
"This kid's rod technique is very exquisite, and his strength is also extremely great. How did he cultivate it?"
A gloomy look appeared on Jiang Wang's face as he waved his long sword to meet Xiao Lingyu.
Ding ding clang clang…
The sound of weapons colliding constantly echoed in the backyard of the Xiao family, and the figures of the two were constantly tumbling in the air.
Although Jiang Wang had the upper hand, Xiao Lingyu was not at a disadvantage. Moreover, his fist force became more and more fierce and domineering. Every punch seemed to contain a monstrous flame.
"This guy's martial skills are also very powerful!"
Xiao Lingyu's offensive was fierce and sharp, while Jiang Wang's attack was even more violent and ferocious.
"Boy, let's see how long you can last. When you are exhausted, it will be my turn to reap your life!"
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and roared hysterically, then suddenly accelerated and closed in front of Xiao Lingyu's chest.
Xiao Lingyu waved his iron rod to block.
Clang!
Jiang Wang's sword struck the top of the iron rod, making a deafening, crisp explosion.
Jiang Wang took advantage of the momentum and slammed the hilt of his sword hard on Xiao Lingyu's shoulder.
Bang!
Xiao Lingyu staggered backward, while Jiang Wang took advantage of the situation to close in and stabbed Xiao Lingyu's abdomen with his sword.
Xiao Lingyu slapped out with both palms, blocking Jiang Wang's long sword, and then used the force to sweep Jiang Wang's waist.
Puchi!
A hideous bloodstain instantly appeared on Jiang Wang's ribs.
Jiang Wang's body was thrown away by Xiao Lingyu and fell to the ground more than twenty meters away.
Xiao Lingyu quickly took out a healing pill and swallowed it, then circulated the Chaos True Fire to burn the wound, restoring the injury as quickly as possible.
"I don't believe your recovery speed can be faster than my injury recovery speed!"
Jiang Wang climbed up, his eyes were tearing apart, and he roared hysterically, "I must kill you today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang rose up with his sword and pounced over like lightning.
Whoosh—
Just as Jiang Wang rushed in front of Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu suddenly raised his iron rod and swept it horizontally.
Clang!
Jiang Wang immediately raised his long sword to block Xiao Lingyu's attack.
However, in the next moment, Xiao Lingyu suddenly threw the iron rod, pointing straight at Jiang Wang's chest.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Wang snorted coldly, his body twisting sharply, avoiding the iron rod.
Xiao Lingyu took the opportunity to rush towards Jiang Wang, while Jiang Wang waved his long sword and attacked Xiao Lingyu.
Ding ding ding…
Jiang Wang's long sword kept clashing with Xiao Lingyu's iron rod, sparks flying everywhere, and the momentum was amazing.
Relying on his super defense, Xiao Lingyu withstood Jiang Wang's repeated attacks, approached Jiang Wang, and suddenly swept his rod horizontally.
Bang!
Jiang Wang was smashed away several feet, but his reaction was extremely fast. He stood still with a sway of his body. Not only was he not injured, but he also seized the flaw exposed by Xiao Lingyu's attack and slashed at Xiao Lingyu's right arm with his sword.
Whoosh!
Xiao Lingyu's body drifted three feet to the left, dodging this fatal sword, and then he took a step, approaching Jiang Wang like a ghost, and suddenly stretched out his leg and swept horizontally.
Bang!
Jiang Wang was caught off guard and was hit with a heavy kick, and was kicked out dozens of meters on the spot, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Ah, I'm going to fight you!"
Severely injured, the furious Jiang Wang roared and rushed towards Xiao Lingyu.
