Chapter 2780 - 2783: You Fear Me!

"Old thing, you’re afraid of me!"

Ling Xiao’s face showed not fear, nor anger, but a mocking smile.

"Afraid of you? Why would I fear you, a brat?"

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun’s anger burned even more fiercely, and behind him, a strange azure image began to emerge.

It seemed like a ferocious Ox Demon.

But it was not quite the same as an ordinary Ox Demon.

"Strange, why do I sense the aura of the Bull God from his Martial Soul? Could it be that the Qingniu Palace of the Tuoba Mansion actually has a connection with the Bull God?"

Currently, the Beast God Martial Souls Ling Xiao possesses are the Zi Shen and the Bull God.

The Zi Shen not only has a Martial Soul but also carries its entire legacy, thus can awaken those divine abilities.

While the Bull God only possesses a Martial Soul, it can only strengthen the Beast Soul at the Bull God’s divine rank, but cannot awaken divine abilities.

If this Qingniu Palace really is associated with the Bull God, then this time, he might have stumbled onto a great opportunity.

"Since you’re not afraid of me, why haven’t you made a move then?

You’ve heard of my name, know the things I’ve done, and so you’re scared of me!

You dread me!

You’re strong, but you lack the confidence to defeat me!

Isn’t that so?"

"Nonsense, my grandfather would never fear you!"

Tuoba Yun Fan shouted.

"You don’t need to speak, try to stop your legs from trembling before you talk to me."

Ling Xiao glanced at Tuoba Yun Fan with contempt.

He was thinking why, if Tuoba Fenɡ Dun was intimidated, he wouldn’t make a move, yet he chose to stay?

Could it be that he was waiting for reinforcements?

Yes!

That must be it!

This guy has discovered my real identity and has probably notified the Chen Royal Family.

After all, it’s only natural for a turncoat who betrayed the Demon Dragon Sect to align with the Chen Dynasty.

Realizing this, Ling Xiao suddenly became less anxious.

He wanted to know the whereabouts of Chen Buyi, and for that, only if the experts sent by the Chen Dynasty arrived would he possibly find out.

This time, he planned to be better prepared, so that if the Chen Dynasty sent the Thunder Emperor or some ancestor, he could escape unscathed.

Otherwise, it would be too frustrating to get injured by the Thunder Emperor again like last time.

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun had to admit that while he might not be terrified, he was indeed apprehensive.

Ling Xiao’s strength was a mystery.

For humans, the unknown is truly the most frightening.

He wasn’t sure of Ling Xiao’s cultivation level, unsure of Ling Xiao’s true strength, and this intimidated him more than encountering a martial artist with a Hell Cultivation level of First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm at the Twelfth Level.

But now that Ling Xiao saw through him, he couldn’t wait any longer.

"Alright, since you’re eager to die, this old man shall fulfill your wish!"

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun decided to make a move.

Since he couldn’t stall for time with words, he’d rely on battle to delay instead.

He believed that the Chen Royal Family would definitely arrive in time.

After all, Ling Xiao ranked first on the Most Evil List.

For the Chen Royal Family, he was a scar, a heartache!

Only by removing this heartache could they rest easy.

"Boom!"

The azure Ox Demon behind Tuoba Fenɡ Dun became more solid.

Even his entire being was enveloped in this azure light.

It exuded a mysterious, ancient, and formidable aura.

"What Martial Soul is this?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"I’ll tell you when you’re about to die!"

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun replied coldly.

Due to apprehension, he dared not reveal too much information.

This Martial Soul was something that only a few in the Tuoba Clan could comprehend, so others were unaware of its secrets.

It was his potential winning strategy.

"Won’t tell? Then I’ll beat it out of you!"

Ling Xiao shouted coldly, thrusting the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword in his hand.

The astonishing Sword Qi aimed straight for Tuoba Fenɡ Dun’s throat.

That was Ling Xiao’s favorite target.

"Green Ox Mountain Cleaving Slash!"

Despite Ling Xiao’s Sword Light, Tuoba Fenɡ Dun did not retreat.

This old fox was a veteran of Jianghu, he well understood that to retreat was to forfeit any chance of defeating the opponent.

So instead of retreating, he stepped forward.

In that instant, the azure Ox Demon behind him gathered a giant axe in its hands.

Then, the furious axe shadows slashed down at Ling Xiao.

It appeared that Tuoba Fenɡ Dun was on the attack, but in truth, it was the azure Ox Demon Martial Soul attacking.

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun was completely enveloped in azure light, as if he had become a warrior controlling a giant mech puppet.

And his mech puppet, was his Martial Soul.

"This fighting style is quite unique, generally martial artists with Beast Martial Souls fuse and transform, don’t they?"

Ling Xiao was curious about Tuoba Fenɡ Dun’s fighting style.

But it was mere curiosity.

His attack did not cease.

"Psst, psst..."

The white Sword Shadows continuously tore through the azure light of the giant axe chopping down.

There was some pressure.

But only some pressure at that.

Green Ox Mountain Cleaving Slash sounded like a crude Martial Arts name, but it was truly an Immortal Grade One Heavenly Martial Skill.

Combined with that eerie azure Ox Demon Martial Soul, it could unleash the power of an Immortal Rank Two Heavenly Martial Technique.

Currently in the Chen Dynasty, there were extremely few martial artists who could wield Immortal Rank Two Heavenly Martial Techniques.

No wonder the Tuoba Clan could dominate the Frosty Town region.

With this alone, there was no one in several hundred miles around who was his match.

"Interesting!"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly.

The Sword Intent in his White Jade Flying Dragon Sword became even more frenzied.

Profound Mysteries Inner Strength surged through it, enhanced by the resilient and unwavering Imperial Heaven Earth Power.

Ling Xiao’s sword became even sharper.

But that, was still not enough!

In the moment of attack, Ling Xiao entered a Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Transformation state.

For some reason, he felt that the Qingniu Palace of the Tuoba Mansion had some connection with the Bull God.

So he decided to try and see whether, in the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul Transformation state, the Bull God Beast Soul would trigger some unique reaction.

In the transformation state, Ling Xiao’s combat ability surged once again.

The White Jade Flying Dragon Sword in his hand flickered with purple thunder and lightning light.

"Break for me!"

The terrifying Sword Light unleashed, with Ling Xiao’s entire body emitting an unstoppable sharp Sword Intent.

Destroy everything!

Sever everything!

Sweep away all obstacles!

Unstoppable!

Under the suddenly erupting Sword Light attack, the axe shadows shattered instantly, even the giant axe formed by the azure light began to crack.

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun’s face changed dramatically.

"Tell me, who are you waiting for?"

Ling Xiao’s eyes were cold and sharp.

He knew Tuoba Fenɡ Dun was hiding some secret, a secret he didn’t know, and this secret might very well be linked to Chen Buyi.

"Retreat!"

Tuoba Fenɡ Dun could feel that the unstoppable strike was sufficient to destroy the giant axe formed by the azure light.

Might even slice his body in two.

He didn’t answer Ling Xiao’s question but instead accelerated his retreat.

Though it made him appear somewhat embarrassed, Tuoba Fenɡ Dun understood, without doing so.

He would die.

However, the next moment, Tuoba Fenɡ Dun’s face turned extremely pale.

He realized that he hadn’t avoided that powerful strike at all.
