Xiao Lingyu's martial spirit had actually reached the eighth rank, completely overwhelming an eighth-rank martial apprentice.
"I originally thought that only that good-for-nothing Xiao Long possessed a martial soul, but I didn't expect you to have one too."
After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Wang regained his composure, his cold eyes gleaming with greed.
Although Xiao Lingyu is young and already possesses an eighth-grade martial soul with great potential, he is still somewhat inferior to him.
Jiang Wang knew that the higher the rank of a martial soul, the easier it was to give birth to a martial spirit, and the combat power would increase exponentially.
His martial spirit is a seventh-grade martial spirit, which is in no way inferior to a ninth-grade martial spirit.
"A martial spirit may be good, but it cannot change your lowly status."
Jiang Wang sneered disdainfully, "After I kill you, your martial spirit will naturally belong to me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingyu's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes flashing with a chilling light, and he said, word by word, "Since you insist on courting death, then don't blame me!"
"Arrogant!"
Jiang Wang roared and charged at Xiao Lingyu again with his sword.
Clang!
The two swords clashed, sparks flew, and Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Wang each retreated.
"Your swordsmanship is actually slightly better than mine." Jiang Wang frowned deeply.
"snort!"
Xiao Lingyu did not answer, but instead leaped into the Xiao family mansion.
Jiang Wang dared not delay and hurriedly followed into the Xiao family.
As soon as Xiao Lingyu entered the Xiao family hall, Jiang Wang attacked from behind.
Ding ding ding ding...
Xiao Lingyu wielded his iron rod to defend against Jiang Wang's attacks, while simultaneously unleashing his martial spirit power to launch a frenzied assault on Jiang Wang.
After a brief exchange, the two were evenly matched.
"This kid's swordsmanship is already no less than Jiang Long's, but his physical body is too weak and cannot withstand my attacks at all."
After a long exchange, Jiang Wang gradually figured out Xiao Lingyu's strengths and weaknesses and began to launch a counterattack.
Ding ding ding...
The clanging of metal echoed continuously as Xiao Lingyu was forced to retreat and soon leave the main hall, entering the back mountain.
Jiang Wang followed closely behind.
The Xiao family's protective array had already been removed, because the aftershocks of Xiao Lingyu and Jiang Wang's battle would damage surrounding buildings and injure innocent people.
The Xiao family's protective array was formed from hundreds of spiritual materials, making it tough and stable.
Even if powerful martial artists were to engage in fierce battles here, they would be unable to damage the protective array in the slightest, let alone destroy it.
"Kid, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Jiang Wang, who had caught up, shouted coldly and slashed at Xiao Lingyu's back with his sword.
Xiao Lingyu used the [Swift Wind Step] to narrowly dodge the attack, then swung his stick at Jiang Wang's head.
Jiang Wang dodged to the side and continued his attack.
Bang!
Xiao Lingyu smashed a wooden rockery with a stick, and the sturdy rockery instantly shattered.
"This kid's staff skills are exquisite, and his strength is immense. How did he cultivate them?"
A cold look appeared on Jiang Wang's face as he swung his longsword to meet Xiao Lingyu's attack.
Clang, clang, clang...
The sounds of clashing weapons echoed continuously in the Xiao family's backyard, while the two figures tumbled and rolled in mid-air.
Although Jiang Wang had the upper hand, Xiao Lingyu was not at a disadvantage either. Moreover, his punches became increasingly fierce and domineering, with each punch seemingly containing overwhelming power.
"This guy's martial arts skills are also amazing!"
Xiao Lingyu's attacks were fierce and sharp, while Jiang Wang's attacks were even more violent and ferocious.
"Kid, let's see how long you can hold out. Once you're exhausted, it'll be my turn to take your life!"
Jiang Wang roared through gritted teeth, then suddenly accelerated, closing in on Xiao Lingyu's chest.
Xiao Lingyu swung his iron bar to block.
Clang!
Jiang Wang's sword struck the top of the iron rod hard, producing a deafening, crisp cracking sound.
Jiang Wang then used the hilt of his sword to deliver a sharp blow to Xiao Lingyu's shoulder.
Bang!
Xiao Lingyu staggered backward, and Jiang Wang seized the opportunity to close in and thrust his sword towards Xiao Lingyu's abdomen, specifically his dantian.
Xiao Lingyu struck out with both palms, blocking Jiang Wang's longsword, and then used the force to sweep Jiang Wang's waist.
Pfft!
A hideous bloodstain instantly appeared on Jiang Wang's ribs.
Jiang Wang's body was sent flying by Xiao Lingyu, crashing to the ground more than twenty meters away.
Xiao Lingyu quickly took out a healing pill and swallowed it. Then he used the Chaos True Fire to burn the wound and heal as quickly as possible.
"I refuse to believe that your recovery speed can outpace my injury recovery speed!"
Jiang Wang scrambled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, and roared hysterically, "I must kill you today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang drew his sword and pounced forward like lightning.
call out--
Just as Jiang Wang lunged at Xiao Lingyu, Xiao Lingyu suddenly raised his iron bar and swept it horizontally.
clang!
Jiang Wang immediately raised his longsword to block Xiao Lingyu's attack.
However, in the next instant, Xiao Lingyu suddenly threw the iron rod, aiming it directly at Jiang Wang's chest.
"snort!"
Jiang Wang snorted coldly and twisted his body sharply to avoid the iron bar.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Lingyu rushed towards Jiang Wang, while Jiang Wang swung his longsword and attacked Xiao Lingyu.
Ding ding ding...
Jiang Wang's longsword clashed incessantly with Xiao Lingyu's iron rod, sparks flying everywhere, creating an astonishing spectacle.
With his superior defensive capabilities, Xiao Lingyu withstood Jiang Wang's repeated attacks, approached Jiang Wang's side, and suddenly swept his staff horizontally.
Boom!
Jiang Wang was sent flying several feet away, but he reacted extremely quickly. He swayed and stood still in the spot. Not only was he not injured, but he also seized the opening that Xiao Lingyu had made during his attack and slashed at Xiao Lingyu's right arm with his sword.
Whoosh!
Xiao Lingyu swayed three feet to the left, dodging the fatal sword strike. Then, he took a step forward, closing in on Jiang Wang like a ghost, and suddenly swept his leg out horizontally.
Bang!
Caught off guard, Jiang Wang was kicked hard and sent flying dozens of meters away, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Severely injured and enraged, Jiang Wang roared in pain as he charged toward Xiao Lingyu.
"Haha, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Xiao Lingyu laughed and swung his iron rod to meet the attack.
Ping pong ping pong...
The two fought fiercely all the way, and amidst the intense battle, Jiang Wang was ultimately no match for Xiao Lingyu in his prime and was forced to retreat steadily.
"This kid is much stronger than I imagined. Our Jiang family has indeed provoked a formidable enemy."
Jiang Wang pondered to himself, and after a moment, shouted into the void, "Ancestor, save me!"
"Jiang Yun'er!"
With a thought, Xiao Lingyu summoned a spiritual treasure and unleashed the [Chaos Codex].
A cloud of white mist surged from Xiao Lingyu's body and instantly transformed into a white veil that obscured his vision.
"Hmm? What kind of magical treasure is this? It's actually blocking my view?" Jiang Wang frowned in confusion.
Just then, a black spear suddenly appeared.
Jiang Wang's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly swung his sword to block in front of him, while the black spear pierced straight towards Jiang Wang's throat.
Boom!
When the white veil disappeared, Jiang Wang realized that Xiao Lingyu had taken the opportunity to escape. He was furious and immediately used his movement technique to chase after him.
