Chapter 2860 - 2864: Scarlet Flame Ferocious Lion Martial Soul

Ling Xiao spoke as he observed his opponent.

Although the opponent was not strong, he never liked underestimating his enemy, much like a lion going all out to hunt a rabbit!

He didn’t want to suffer a setback just because he underestimated the enemy.

After all, such examples are countless.

Many opponents had died this way at his hands.

Anyway, he wasn’t in a hurry now, with the Barrier Martial Soul, nothing could be released without his will.

"Take my move first!"

With a sudden flicker of his body, Ling Xiao raised his right hand, and dark elements gathered upon it.

By the time he reached Old Fire, a sword formed entirely of inner strength and elements had already congealed on his right hand.

"Scoundrel, you have only yourself to blame for seeking death!"

Old Fire never expected someone to intrude into the Royal Forbidden Area of the Chen Royal Family and dare to attack him knowing his identity.

He was truly curious about this murderous figure with the silver mask in front of him.

But even if he asked, the other would likely not answer.

Since that was the case, killing him and unveiling the mask would reveal his identity.

Thinking of this, Old Fire didn’t hold back, and a lion shrouded in flames suddenly appeared behind him.

Scarlet Flame Ferocious Lion Martial Spirit!

This guy, clearly a member of the Chen Royal Family, surprisingly didn’t have a Lightning Thunder Martial Soul. It appeared that he had undergone a Martial Soul surgery, seizing someone else’s Martial Soul.

However, this Scarlet Flame Ferocious Lion Martial Spirit was quite suitable for unleashing his Strange Fire’s power.

The moment Old Fire released his Martial Soul, the Elemental Sword in Ling Xiao’s hand had already thrust toward his throat.

No fancy moves, just a plain stab, yet exuding a highly evil and powerful aura.

So much so that Old Fire even felt like a Demon Head had appeared before him.

He backed away several feet.

Then he shouted loudly, "Scoundrel, not bad, but do you think this is enough to stop me?"

Faced with Ling Xiao’s Elemental Sword, the Fire Lotus floating around Old Fire’s body unexpectedly converged into a larger lotus, blocking in front of him.

Clang!

The Elemental Sword stabbed into the large lotus but could not penetrate further.

Moreover, the Elemental Sword was scattered and collapsed by the intense Strange Fire.

"A mere Elemental Sword, and you dare to show off? You really underestimate me. Now, it’s your turn to die!"

After blocking Ling Xiao’s strike, Old Fire did not stop his assault.

He unleashed a terrifying aura.

The Scarlet Flame Ferocious Lion Martial Soul behind him roared fiercely.

The flames fused into his hands.

"Scarlet Flame Awakening Lion Fist! Kill!"

A lion’s mighty roar echoed from the void.

On Old Fire’s hands, flames took the form of a Scarlet Flame Ferocious Lion, pouncing viciously toward Ling Xiao.

"Die, no matter who you are. Since you dared intrude into the Royal Forbidden Area of the Chen Royal Family, don’t dream of living on!"

Old Fire, initially somewhat tense, was now completely relaxed.

To be honest, at first, sensing the extremely terrifying Demonic Qi from Ling Xiao, he thought he had encountered an extraordinary expert.

But after this round of attack and defense, he was thoroughly reassured.

Although the opponent was stronger than a typical martial artist in the Late Stage of the Twelfth-Level Hell, he still had no chance against him.

This move of the Scarlet Flame Awakening Lion Fist would take his life.

However, it was all just his delusion.

"Boom!"

As Old Fire charged at Ling Xiao, his body suddenly experienced a violent explosion.

To the extent that this old man found his clothes torn to shreds, hair disheveled, and his body emitting a burnt stench.

What a sorry state.

His assault naturally came to an abrupt halt.

"Earth Demon Secret Technique Third Layer—Time-based Explosion! This move is indeed handy; as long as you can touch the opponent, you can plant an elemental bomb."

Ling Xiao stood over ten meters away, grinning as he looked at the embarrassed Old Fire, satisfied with this attack’s effect.

Old Fire was utterly bewildered by the explosion.

In the previous attack, he had focused all his attention on the offense, neglecting defense, which led to being hit. It not only embarrassed but also injured him.

He swallowed an Injury Healing Pill, looking at Ling Xiao with horror.

This masked man in front of him was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

The fear that had faded returned throughout his body.

"Do you really want to know my identity?"

Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

"Of course!"

Old Fire changed his clothes and even wore a set of defensive Treasure Armor he hadn’t used in ages.

The recent explosion had genuinely scared him greatly.

Thankfully, Ling Xiao didn’t capitalize on his advantage; otherwise, he might have been severely wounded or dead by now.

"Let me warn you, knowing my true identity means everyone present has to die!

If not, then only you need to die."

Ling Xiao smiled.

"Such big words, do you really think you can single-handedly kill all of us?"

Although Old Fire felt a bit afraid of Ling Xiao, he absolutely did not believe that even he, along with another hundred experts at the First Cycle of the Yin-Yang Realm’s Twelfth Layer Hell cultivation level, would be killed by Ling Xiao.

"Killing you is easy."

Ling Xiao said lightly: "If not for my curiosity about the power of your Strange Fire, I could have killed you just now!"

"Arrogant!"

"Yes, too arrogant! Old Fire, let’s join forces to destroy this scoundrel; after all, everyone should kill such a thief when they see one."

"Kill him!"

"Don’t care about the rules!"

The hundred martial artists began to shout loudly.

"Scoundrel, did you hear that? That’s their voice; since you’re so confident to eliminate us all, there’s no harm in revealing your true identity, right?"

Old Fire sneered, "What if you don’t have the guts, though?"

"Do you all want to die?

Fine, so you won’t die without knowing whose hand you fell into."

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, removed his silver mask, and revealed his true face.

"This face looks so familiar!"

Old Fire couldn’t recognize Ling Xiao for a moment.

Understandable, as he hadn’t paid much attention to such a small figure before.

"Old Fire, this guy is Ling Xiao!"

"Ling Xiao! The one who caused Old Master Kong’s death, killed hundreds of thousands of our Chen Dynasty’s troops, that Ling Xiao?"

Old Fire was shocked.

He had seen portraits of Ling Xiao but had never met him in person before.

Ling Xiao was much younger than he had imagined.

Even his face still bore traces of youth.

"That’s right, it’s Ling Xiao, the one who killed the Eighth Prince, Second Prince, Twelfth Prince, and Eleventh Prince."

"Hard to imagine, indeed, that you, such a young boy, could turn our Chen Royal Family upside down."

The veins on Old Fire’s face were bulging, and his body was trembling incessantly.

It wasn’t fear, but anger!

It was hatred!
