"Quick!"
A sword light shot out, piercing the air, emitting a piercing sound of a sonic boom. Ling Xiao could clearly feel the explosive and terrifying power contained within the Gentle Breeze Sword.
"Ao Ao!"
The sword light broke through the sky.
Shadows of the blade flickered.
A Third-Level Demon Beast fell to the ground, only managing to let out two pitiful squeals before its death.
Such a splendid strike–it had directly severed the head of the Demon Beast.
"Hmm, the strength was a bit too much. I estimate that with my current strength, using around thirty percent of inner strength, I can easily kill a Third-Level Peak Demon Beast!"
He analyzed the power of the Hundred-Step Killing Sword within a range of two hundred ters through his Mountain and River Martial Soul.
The result was a terrifying conclusion.
Within two hundred ters, the Hundred-Step Killing Sword was equivalent to a full-strength blow from a Peak of Fifth Level Martial Pulse martial artist!
What did this an? He was currently only nearing the power of a Martial ridians Fourth Level Peak martial artist, yet his attack could reach the full-strength blow of a Peak Fifth-level Martial Pulse martial artist.
Looking at it this way, not to ntion Fourth Level Peak Demon Beasts, even Fifth Level Demon Beasts, as long as they weren’t too strong, should be manageable.
But he had to be cautious.
An attack with a Flying Sword relies on suddenness and burst power. If soone anticipated it, the power would be greatly diminished.
Thinking this, Ling Xiao casually tossed the corpse of the Demon Beast into the Mountain and River Map.
He then continued to advance, looking for prey.
Third-Level Demon Beasts were too easy; this ti he was aiming for Fourth Level Demonic Beasts, preferably Level 4 Peak Demon Beasts, to exchange for more gold.
Of course, he could also try his luck with Fifth Level Demon Beasts.
"Hmm, are people coming?"
After hunting more than a dozen Third Level Demon Beasts, Ling Xiao furrowed his brows.
The Mountain and River Map showed three life forms were rapidly approaching nearby.
"Passing by? Or targeting ?"
Ling Xiao didn’t want to take any risks, so he chose to hide and observe the situation first.
The three life forms finally appeared.
They were three Black Scarf Thieves.
One of them was a short, fat elder.
Another was a tall, burly man.
There was also a bewitchingly evil woman.
"Where are they?"
"Could it be they noticed us and hid?"
"Ga ga ga, he can’t escape!"
The short, fat elder let out an extrely unpleasant chuckle, then opened his mouth and spewed out a murky gas.
"Cough cough cough! That’s foul!"
Ling Xiao was caught off guard and inhaled so of the gas, promptly coughing violently.
"Swoosh!"
"Thwack!"
Almost the instant he coughed, several poison needles were shot toward him. Luckily, his quick reflexes and the Soaring Cloud Step allowed him to dodge them.
"Eh? He actually dodged my poison needles. Not bad, not bad on light-work skill!"
The bewitching woman expressed her surprise.
"No matter how good his light-work skill is, he still has to die!"
The burly man snorted coldly, "The employer already ntioned this kid’s skilled light-work. That’s why I’ve prepared sothing special to welco him."
"Black Scarf Thieves!"
Seeing that the other party didn’t attack again, Ling Xiao felt slightly more at ease. He activated his Mountain and River Martial Soul and the information about the three people appeared.
Two Martial ridians Fourth Level Peak, and one Fifth Level Martial Pulse!
To tell the truth, he was surprised by the information that appeared.
Who were they to go to such lengths, sending such experts to deal with him?
The burly man was the strongest among the three, his body exuding an intense killing aura, indicative of how many he must have killed before.
"Hehe, little guy not running away?"
The bewitchingly evil woman asked with a laugh.
"Why run away?"
Ling Xiao had made up his mind to hunt down these three people.
Although one against three might be a bit difficult, he was in the Fulong Mountain Range, and he had both the Soaring Cloud Step and the Mountain and River Martial Soul, which allowed him almost effortless movent through the jungle.
In another environnt, he might have turned tail and fled.
But now, the odds of winning a one against three fight were not very small.
"You reckless youth, if you hand over your Lightweight Body Technique, we can grant you a swift end!" the short and portly elder said with a smile.
"You want my Lightweight Body Technique? Catch first!" Ling Xiao grinned and suddenly leapt into the sky, heading towards the forest.
When it ca to speed, he didn’t believe he would lose to these three.
"Heh heh heh!" To Ling Xiao’s surprise, the three didn’t pursue, but instead stood there, chuckling coldly.
This gave Ling Xiao a strong feeling of unease.
But there was nothing unusual indicated on the Mountain and River Map.
That is to say, they were just three people without reinforcents.
No, sothing still felt wrong!
"Buzz!" A trendous pressure made the Gang Qi in his body circulate rapidly, and the connection he felt with the Mountain and River Martial Soul through flesh and blood grew even more pronounced.
"So that’s how it is!" Ling Xiao suddenly realized he no longer needed to observe the Mountain and River Map with internal vision; his body had perfectly fused with the Mountain and River Martial Soul.
Now, he just needed to watch his opponents, and analytical data would swiftly erge in his mind.
The rehearsals also took shape simultaneously in his mind.
Even though it seed not much different, the function was actually significant.
Previously, to use the analytical and rehearsal capabilities of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he had to look at the Mountain and River Map internally, which wasted a lot of ti.
In combat, it was practically suicidal.
But now, without such necessity, wherever his eyes focused, they could analyze.
Moreover, the Mountain and River Martial Soul caused a peculiar change in his vision.
Normally, there would definitely be blind spots in a person’s vision.
But his eyes had none, allowing him to see clearly in every direction.
Not only that, he could even see through objects now.
He knew this wasn’t an ability of his eyes, but the power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul manifesting through them.
Regardless, under the imnse pressure of death, his abilities had advanced once again, this ti a significant leap.
The reason nothing appeared on the Mountain and River Map before was that the enemy’s killing move was beneath the ground.
A gigantic spider.
Standing up, it was fully two ters tall.
It was currently below him, locking on, ready to burst from the earth.
He had just been wondering what they would use to counter his Lightweight Body Technique; now, it seed they planned to use a spider web.
If the spider had indeed set up a complete Sky-Net in the vicinity, he really would be in big trouble.
"Take out the spider first!"
With a thought, Ling Xiao suddenly concentrated his Gang Qi and punched towards the ground.
The spider underground was rely a third-level demonic beast. His punch contained eighty percent of his strength and utilized the Transcendental Realm’s teor Killing Fist.
The spider was undoubtedly dood.
In that instant, the faces of the three sly-smiling Black Scarf Thieves changed dramatically.
They didn’t know how Ling Xiao had detected the underground danger, but they could feel the terror in Ling Xiao’s punch.
The short and portly elder and the bewitching woman moved first.
The two of them flanked from the left and right, attacking Ling Xiao.
Despite the elder’s chubby body, his Body Movent Technique was not weak at all; in fact, his speed was even slightly faster than the bewitching woman’s.
Clearly, the bewitching woman’s most fearso asset was her throwing weapons. Thus, as she approached, she continuously shot out several crossbow arrows.
The arrowheads of the crossbow arrows glinted with a faint blue light, clearly coated with poison.
