Chapter 84

"Mid-stage True Qi Realm, how can he possibly be a match for the Sky Soaring Realm? If you don’t die, who will?"

Xiao Zhongtian coldly watched all of this, his eyes filled with intense hatred. The seventeen members of the Xiao family could not have died in vain. If Ling Dao did not die, then those Xiao family members would surely die with regret.

Now, Xiao Changhe had completely suppressed Ling Dao, the formidable strength of a Sky Soaring Realm martial artist was evident. His sword techniques transformed into massive waves. Not to mention a mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artist, even a fellow early-stage Sky Soaring Realm martial artist would not be his match.

Even the seven blazing suns could not withstand the impact of the waves. Ling Dao kept retreating, his face becoming increasingly pale. His hands trembled slightly, a detail that did not escape Xiao Changhe’s eyes.

"Haha, boy, I must say, your talent surpasses mine by a great deal, but you are still too young! If you had another ten years, I would definitely not be your match, but you will die today!"

Xiao Changhe’s sword techniques grew stronger, he continuously advanced, and the fine steel sword in his hand emitted an incredibly intense light. He was already certain of victory; as long as he had a bit more time, he would certainly be able to kill Ling Dao.

In fact, the most troublesome thing was Ling Dao’s Eight Steps of Star Chasing. After using this technique, Ling Dao’s speed was extremely fast. Even Xiao Changhe found it extremely troublesome. Without the Eight Steps of Star Chasing, Ling Dao would have definitely been dead long ago.

"This is the moment!"

Until now, Ling Dao had actually been feigning weakness. He first acted extremely arrogant, making others think he was a highly arrogant young genius. Such a person would not hold back when attacking, hoping to use all his strength.

However, Ling Dao retreated while fighting, hiding part of his strength, waiting for the best opportunity. When he saw the Sky Soaring Realm martial artist, Ling Dao thought of the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake in the Heaven Earth Ring.

The Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake was dead, but its poison was preserved by Ling Dao. Now, using it against Xiao Changhe was the best option. Even if Xiao Changhe had rich experience, this time he was destined to suffer a major setback at Ling Dao’s hands.

First, Xiao Changhe would never have thought that Ling Dao would have something like the Heaven Earth Ring. Second, Xiao Changhe would never have thought that such a young Ling Dao could have such a plan. From the moment Ling Dao first met Xiao Changhe, he had already started to scheme, leading Xiao Changhe step by step into a trap, making him fall into Ling Dao’s rhythm.

Ling Dao pretended to be overpowered, staggering backward, while Xiao Changhe’s sword slashed down. If Xiao Changhe succeeded, Ling Dao’s body would have been split in two. Unfortunately, Xiao Changhe could not succeed because Ling Dao had already made his move.

"Pop..."

Ling Dao lightly flicked his finger, and a drop of emerald green liquid shot toward Xiao Changhe’s body. This drop of emerald green liquid was the poison of the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake, extracted by Ling Dao.

With Ling Dao’s formidable strength, the liquid shot out faster than an arrow. Xiao Changhe could not have anticipated this change and was naturally hit. The emerald green liquid directly entered his nostrils.

After completing this, Ling Dao’s body slid along the ground, escaping Xiao Changhe’s fatal strike. All these things were part of Ling Dao’s plan, and he had already thought of a way out.

"What is this?"

Xiao Changhe’s face changed drastically. The thing Ling Dao used at this moment was definitely extraordinary. Especially Ling Dao’s expression, which made him extremely uneasy. Earlier, Ling Dao had deliberately shown the appropriate fear, but now Ling Dao was clearly very calm.

"I might as well tell you, it’s just the poison of the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake!"

Ling Dao’s words made Xiao Changhe’s face turn dark. Xiao Changhe had naturally heard of the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake. If a True Qi Realm martial artist was poisoned, they would die in moments. Even a Sky Soaring Realm martial artist could only suppress the poison for a short time.

"Ancestor!"

Xiao Zhongtian exclaimed in shock, preparing to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Changhe. If Ling Dao had one drop of Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake’s poison, he might have a second drop. If Xiao Zhongtian was hit by the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake’s poison, he would soon die a miserable death.

"It’s fine, the poison of the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake won’t take my life in a short time!"

Xiao Changhe’s nose had already turned green, and the poison was spreading to his face. He had a cold expression and was prepared to fight Ling Dao to the death. He was very clear that if he couldn’t kill Ling Dao in a short time, not only would he die, but Xiao Zhongtian would also die.

"Boy, even if you die, you will die before me!"

"Great Waves Surging!"

Xiao Changhe’s sword transformed into an incredibly huge wave, making the entire space tremble. Now, Xiao Changhe didn’t care about anything else; his goal was simple: to kill Ling Dao with all his might.

He had already decided to kill Ling Dao, even if it meant his own death. His sword techniques were more powerful than before, and just one wave surpassed the dozens of waves from earlier.

"Do you think you can kill me? It’s just a delusion! A mere Sky Soaring Realm strength, what does it matter?"

Since Xiao Changhe was already poisoned, Ling Dao no longer needed to hide. Even if Xiao Changhe suppressed the poison for a short time, his strength was still affected. Being able to use forty to fifty percent of his strength was already good.

"Shadowless Thunder Sword!"

Now, Ling Dao truly made his move. The Sun Blade transformed into rolling thunder, colliding fiercely with the wave. The clash of thunder and waves made the heavens and earth seem to shake. Ling Dao’s full attack was truly terrifying.

"Clang"

What shocked Xiao Zhongtian was that he actually saw Xiao Changhe retreating, being pushed back by Ling Dao’s sword. Ling Dao pressed his advantage, holding the Sun Blade and attacking again. The situation had reversed; now it was Ling Dao pressing down on Xiao Changhe.

The more true qi Xiao Changhe used, the faster the poison spread, turning his entire face green. Being pressed by Ling Dao made Xiao Changhe even angrier, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Who would have thought, after living all my life, I would be outsmarted by a junior, truly..."

Unfortunately, Xiao Changhe’s words were cut short as the cold Sun Blade pierced through his body. Ling Dao’s full attack, combined with the poison, made it impossible for Xiao Changhe to resist. Moreover, Ling Dao’s sword technique was incredibly sharp, and Xiao Changhe died under his sword in a short time.

"Ancestor, dead?"

Xiao Zhongtian watched in shock, completely stunned. How could the Ancestor, with Sky Soaring Realm strength, die at the hands of Ling Dao?
