Gongyang Nu excelled in saber technique, and though he was only seventeen, his large and rough appearance made him look over thirty.
Tuoba Shan was rumored to be unbeatable with the divine bow, possessing a Bow and Arrow Martial Soul, and his palm techniques were also extrely powerful.
But these were just rumors after all.
"The Master of Desperate Tower has arrived!"
Perhaps because today’s death challenge had garnered so much attention, it had attracted the Master of Desperate Tower himself.
Hmm?
Ling Xiao was surprised as he glanced at the man, who wore a black ghost-faced mask, yet the aura felt very familiar.
It can’t be.
Thinking he might be mistaken, Ling Xiao shook his head and dismissed the confusion in his mind.
"Today’s battle will be presided over by . Outsiders are not to intervene, or they will be killed without rcy!"
The Master of Desperate Tower was also a Heavenly Person Realm Expert and exuded a terrifying killing intent. Fortunately, he deliberately contained it, otherwise, just releasing the killing intent would have killed a good number of the onlookers around.
No one dared to make a sound.
Even Elder Bai and Elder Black from the Outer Sect Main Hall, who had co to watch the fight, did not dare to utter a word.
To a Heavenly Person Realm expert, a Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer strongman was not worth ntioning.
"The first match, Outer Sect’s previously ranked number ten ’Yang Cheng,’ challenges the current number ten of the Outer Sect ’Ling Xiao.’ Please both enter Desperate Tower."
Desperate Tower, though called a tower, was nothing more than a dilapidated ruin, where all fights were to take place.
From the outside, everyone could clearly see the battle.
As soon as the words of the Master of Desperate Tower were spoken, Yang Cheng couldn’t wait to rush out.
His body movent technique showed that he was indeed much stronger than before, which was unquestionable.
Ling Xiao also leaped up and shot onto Desperate Tower.
His body movent technique was stronger than Yang Cheng’s, but he didn’t show it off intentionally, so it seed like he was actually slower than Yang Cheng.
"It’s starting!"
Many Outer Disciples took a deep breath.
Ling Xiao was a new beginner in the Outer Sect, while the other four were old Outer Disciples.
So from this perspective, it was also a battle between the new and the old.
That’s why the Outer Disciples were so excited.
"Ling Xiao, you arrogantly issued a death challenge to Brother Jin Ming, Brother Tuoba Shan, and Brother Gongyang Nu, but unfortunately, you won’t get the chance to fight them, because you will die by my hand!"
Facing Ling Xiao, Yang Cheng was very excited and equally angry.
The mory of their previous fight replayed in his mind, and at the thought of that defeat, he felt humiliated and infuriated, wishing he could tear Ling Xiao to shreds.
His body was enveloped in a typhoon of creamy white True Essence.
His face was obscured, but the Wind and Cloud True Essence produced by his "Wind and Cloud Art" was much more powerful than before.
The terrifying tornado picked up bricks and stones from the ruin, forming a huge pile of debris above his head.
Boom!
The mound, looking to weigh tens of thousands of pounds, was swept up by the fierce wind and hurled toward Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao didn’t move, just stood there quietly.
However, the mont the debris pile got close to him, it split apart and exploded outward.
Yang Cheng apparently hadn’t expected this move to defeat Ling Xiao; it was just a way of greeting.
Next mont, his fighting spirit soared to the extre, his terrifying aura madly stirred up, and the original tornado expanded even more, wildly ravaging the already crumbling ruin.
He was already a Half-step Grandmaster, and having received True Essence from the Demonfla Celestial, his montum was frightening enough to make many Outer Disciples shiver.
"This guy is much stronger than before!"
Those who knew Yang Cheng exclaid in surprise.
"Yeah, at least seven or eight tis stronger. Such a terrifying aura, the old him could never achieve this."
"Heh, I told you, that Ling Xiao was going to die in the first round, and there wouldn’t need to be any more matches."
Witnessing this scene, Dai Yuling tightly grasped her Master Lan Yu’er’s hand.
"Master, please save Ling Xiao. He shouldn’t have to die for ."
Lan Yu’er sighed.
Could she make a move?
Ignoring the fact that Elder Black was watching closely, the Master of Desperate Tower wouldn’t allow her to interfere either.
This was a fight to the death.
But if Ling Xiao were truly in danger of losing his life, could she really not intervene?
She felt that she couldn’t do it.
Just watch Ling Xiao die with open eyes?
She would rather break the sect rules than do that!
At worst, she would be expelled from her ntor’s teachings.
However, seeing Ling Xiao’s expression, her original worries vanished in an instant.
That face remained indifferent, with no trace of emotional fluctuation, but Lan Yu’er could sense the powerful self-confidence radiating from his very bones.
"Yuling, don’t worry, Ling Xiao is much stronger than you think,"
Lan Yu’er said.
Her words had no basis.
But she believed her judgnt was not wrong.
Atop Desperate Tower, Ling Xiao looked at Yang Cheng indifferently.
He had no intention of attacking first.
When facing an unfamiliar enemy, it is often more suitable to strike after the opponent has moved.
Of course, if the opponent doesn’t act for a long ti, then he would need to think of a strategy.
He certainly didn’t plan to have a drawn-out battle with Yang Cheng.
At most three moves!
Ling Xiao thought for a mont and set this target for himself.
Of course, if he could settle it in one move, that would be best.
Among the four opponents, Jin Ming was the only one who posed a real threat to him; he couldn’t muster interest in the other three.
"Ling Xiao, this day next year will be your death anniversary! You should regret severely injuring back then!"
Suddenly, Yang Cheng moved amidst a roaring cry.
His entire being rged into the massive tornado, and his hands actually turned into sharp blades of ice, glinting with specks of cold light within the raging wind.
Boom!
In that mont, the whole Desperate Tower was engulfed in the ravaging winds, with many unable to see what exactly was happening.
"Such terrifying explosive power!"
"Such fearso strength!"
"Is this still Yang Cheng? Such an attack might not lose to the top five of the Outer Sect."
In just an instant, Yang Cheng’s attack arrived.
Seen from a distance, it looked more like a wind dragon carrying a great treasured sword, thrusting towards Ling Xiao.
The speed was too fast, Ling Xiao had no way to avoid it.
Of course, that was only the bystanders’ perception.
A hint of a smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.
Because he saw through it.
The supposed trump card of Yang Cheng was now completely exposed before his eyes.
Three moves?
Ling Xiao laughed disdainfully, realizing he had overestimated this Yang Cheng.
Indeed, this guy’s strength and explosive power were more terrifying than before, but in Ling Xiao’s view, he had actually beco weaker.
The reason was that most of his body had been replaced by puppets, greatly reducing his flexibility and response ti.
After all, no matter how good a puppet is, it can’t compare to the human body itself.
Moreover, this foolish Yang Cheng, relying on his powerful strength and believing he could crush Ling Xiao instantly, didn’t realize that his ferocious attack had exposed a huge vulnerability.
Bang!
A trendous roar erupted.
Yang Cheng’s attack finally hit Ling Xiao, leaving the scene in complete disarray amidst flying bricks and stones, blocking everyone’s vision.
