Chapter 2852 - 2856: Slaying the First General, Cultivation Level Up!

The release of these ten types of Sword Intent was something Ling Xiao comprehended after obtaining the Nine Sons Demon Dragon Sword.

Thanks to the Nine Sons Demon Dragon Sword, the ten swords could communicate their intentions seamlessly.

Thus, simultaneously releasing ten types of Sword Intent became easier.

Were it different swords haphazardly placed together, Ling Xiao certainly couldn’t manage it; for the time being, he could only release two types of Sword Intent, which was already his limit.

Seeing such a fearsome Ling Xiao, the First General and the others were clearly stunned.

Especially the Third General, who was visibly filled with fear.

After all, he was the weakest of the four, and he believed that if Ling Xiao were to attack and eliminate a martial artist, he would undoubtedly target him first.

Moreover, Ling Xiao’s gaze seemed to be fixed on him, leaving him with a shiver down his spine.

Including him, the other three, and those who were observing, almost all thought this way.

Taking down the weakest first, then handling the stronger martial artists afterward, would be twice as effective with half the effort.

So the Third General was evidently terrified, even wanting to back away, but at this moment, the power of the attack was already at its peak.

If he retreated, it would undoubtedly backfire on him; if he ended up harming himself, it would be truly embarrassing.

He had no choice but to persevere and attack.

The other three also gradually moved closer to him, seemingly wanting to protect him.

Upon seeing this, Ling Xiao’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"Buzz..."

The sharp sword edge erupted with an eerie sound.

Ling Xiao finally thrust his sword.

The target was precisely the Third General.

"Kill! Shadow Sword Demon!"

The Shadow Sword Demon infused with True Demon Sword Aura surged in power, and the Sword Demon blended into darkness emanated an aura of utter despair.

This sword was incredibly fast!

And highly penetrating.

"Don’t be afraid, old chap! I’ll help you! You just concentrate on attacking!"

The First General roared, a powerful aura blossomed in the sky.

A gale suddenly rose between heaven and earth, akin to a doomsday storm.

An eagle’s cry echoed in the void.

The terrifying Sword Demon seemed to be repelled, showing signs of dispersal.

People could clearly see the gale condensing into a giant Black Hawk.

Fierce, majestic, imperious!

"The First General indeed lives up to being the First General, truly formidable!"

Soldiers of the Chen Dynasty shouted excitedly.

They could clearly feel the terrifying pressure the Black Hawk brought, and they also believed Ling Xiao was not the match for the First General.

"You are courageous, but unfortunately, my initial target was you, not that useless Third General!"

Ling Xiao’s voice echoed in the First General’s ear.

From beginning to end, the one he actually wanted to kill the most was this guy.

Since the First General was clearly the strongest of the four.

Once this guy was taken out, the remaining three would be easier to handle.

With the existence of Yinɡ Yan, it wasn’t easy to flexibly implement his combat strategy.

But eliminating the First General would change everything.

His feigned attack on the Third General was just a ruse to lure the First General.

Now, this guy was deceived.

In the void, the first Sword Demon had not yet disintegrated.

The second, third, and fourth Sword Demons appeared one after another.

All nine swords brewed the same move, all Shadow Sword Demons.

This was merely an Immortal Grade One Heavenly Martial Skill, so it consumed the least and was the fastest.

But due to the effect of the Demon Dragon Sword, it could unleash the power of an Immortal Rank Two Heavenly Martial Technique.

Combined with the accumulation of nine different types of Sword Intent, its power would not even be less than an Immortal Grade Triple Heaven Martial Technique.

"Swish, swish..."

The massive Black Hawk was torn apart by sword Qi, and eight Sword Demons simultaneously charged at the First General.

This forced the First General to retreat.

Yet Ling Xiao’s attack relentlessly pursued.

Thus, the Twelfth Prince and Eleventh Prince couldn’t manage to assist in attacking Ling Xiao.

Both of their speeds couldn’t compare to the First General and Ling Xiao.

Additionally, these two had witnessed Ling Xiao’s moment of killing Overlord Blade Gui Li, so they hesitated slightly, fearing Ling Xiao might deceive them into attacking in a different direction again.

This brief moment of hesitation lost them the best opportunity to rescue the First General.

"Black Hawk’s Descent!"

The First General refused to submit, he roared, countless shadows of Black Hawks shot towards Ling Xiao.

Seemingly endless, aiming to completely block Ling Xiao’s attack.

However, it was futile.

His ordinary attack was incapable of stopping the Shadow Sword Demon infused with terrifying Sword Intent.

Eight Sword Demons shattered those Black Hawk shadows, all strikes landed on the First General’s body.

In the final moment, the First General underwent beastification.

To strengthen his body’s defense, to withstand Ling Xiao’s eight attacks, he too made his final struggle.

"Big Bro!"

"First General!"

At this moment, the Third General, Twelfth Prince, and Eleventh Prince simultaneously rushed forward.

They knew very well that if the First General died, the upcoming battle would become extremely difficult.

Ling Xiao smiled indifferently.

Magma Three-headed Dog, Purple Lightning Thunder Bull, and Nine Snake General Beast Soul roared, charging simultaneously towards the three.

The three were intercepted in mid-air.

Even though they used Beast Spirits to block, it was only for a moment.

The Twelfth Prince and Eleventh Prince nearly shattered the Martial Soul shadows in front of them instantly.

But it was too late.

Ling Xiao’s figure vanished at the spot, transforming into a Demon Dragon and pouncing towards the First General, aiming to deliver the final blow.

"This is the soul-releasing sword prepared for you—

Also my strongest sword—True Demon: Magic Immortal Sword Shadow!

Kill!"

The Immortal Grade Triple Heaven Martial Technique, under the enhancement of True Demon Sword Aura, exploded with a terrifying power nearing Immortal Level Four Celestial Martial Arts.

The Demon Immortal stepped out in darkness.

Transformed into a shadow of a sword, pierced through the First General’s body.

The First General felt intense physical pain, his consciousness blurred rapidly.

"It’s over, First General!"

With Ling Xiao’s voice, a massive wound appeared on the First General’s throat.

Blood continuously spurted out.

The scene was bloody and horrific.

The pupils of the First General retained the astonishment, regret, and disbelief from just before his death.

Death arrived so suddenly!

He regretted not staying in the Sect continuing cultivation, foolishly coming to stir these troubled waters.

If he hadn’t come out, he wouldn’t have died.

If he hadn’t acted against Ling Xiao, he wouldn’t have died!

"Tao Tie—Devour!"

In the void, a massive maw suddenly appeared.

Swallowed the First General’s corpse whole.

Afterward, a Black Hawk’s shadow manifested behind Ling Xiao.

The three Beast Spirits transformed into four.

Not only that, but he also obtained the Eagle Eye special skill.

The every move of the remaining three was completely locked by him.

And to his surprise, after the Gluttonous Beast devoured the First General, the energy transformed into his body, finally breaking through the last blockade.

His cultivation level advanced!

From intermediate stage advanced to late stage.
