However, to Jiang Wang's surprise, Xiao Lingyu was nowhere to be found outside the Xiao family mansion.
Outside the Xiao family mansion, Xiao Lin stood with his hands behind his back, perched quietly on the trunk of an ancient tree.
His gaze pierced through the void, locking onto the Jiang family army, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "These good-for-nothings, they really can't wait."
Swoosh~~~
At that very moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the distant void.
Immediately afterwards, a palm-sized brass cauldron broke through the void and descended beside Xiao Lin.
The surface of the cauldron is engraved with various mysterious runes, releasing a rich and pure aura of flame.
It is the Burning Sun Refining Heart Cauldron!
Without hesitation, Xiao Lin reached out and grabbed the precious cauldron, then leaped down from the treetop and hurled it out like lightning.
Thud!
The treasure cauldron flew out of his hand, turning into a meteor that streaked across the sky and crashed into the Jiang family's camp, causing a series of explosions and billowing smoke.
"who?"
Jiang Wang's expression changed drastically. He turned his head sharply and was shocked to see Xiao Lin flying over. He immediately shouted, "Xiao Lin, it's you!"
How did you find this place?
Where is Xiao Yun?
Xiao Lin questioned coldly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He noticed that Jiang Wang was alone, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"snort!"
Jiang Wang curled his lip and said, "Do you think you can hide from the world by concealing your presence? Let me tell you, we have already sent people to monitor the entire Qingxuan City. You were exposed as soon as you left the Xiao family mansion."
Xiao Lin stared coldly at Jiang Wang, his killing intent chilling: "Jiang Wang, I'm not going to bother with you, but you're turning around and being aggressive. Have you forgotten how my father and elder brother died tragically?"
"Haha, how could I forget?"
Jiang Wang laughed arrogantly, "Your father Xiao Zhan died at my hands, and your elder brother Xiao Long also died at my hands. I will remember this blood feud for the rest of my life."
"As for Xiao Long's bastard son, he's not even worth mentioning."
As he spoke, Jiang Wang took out a long sword from his storage ring and said coldly, "If you know what's good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy right now, and I might spare your dog's life."
"Jiang Wang, have you lost your mind?"
Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What makes you think that an eighth-grade martial artist like you can beat me?"
Jiang Wang said sinisterly, "I know you're arrogant, and I don't mind playing along. I hope you won't be a coward and hide your head."
"A cowardly turtle? Hahaha..."
Xiao Lin laughed loudly: "You lot aren't even qualified to be cowards."
"How dare you!"
Enraged, Jiang Wang roared, "Since you've chosen your own death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang stepped on the sword energy, carrying a monstrous sword aura, and pounced on Xiao Lin like a peerless sword immortal.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Almost at the same time that Jiang Wang approached, hundreds of sword beams suddenly emerged from the Xiao family mansion, sweeping in from all directions.
"A trivial skill!"
Jiang Wangyi remained fearless, raised his arm and flicked it, and in an instant, a sky full of sword energy met the sword light.
Bang bang bang~~~
With a loud bang, the sword light vanished instantly, and Jiang Wang continued his charge towards Xiao Lin unharmed.
"Jiang Wang is indeed powerful, even more terrifying than Xiao Long."
Seeing Jiang Wang easily block all the sword beams, Xiao Lin's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
While at the Xiao family, Xiao Long was indeed far inferior to Jiang Wang, but if the two were to fight to the death, Xiao Long would definitely win, and even have a very high chance of killing Jiang Wang.
Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility.
In reality, Jiang Wang is far superior to Xiao Long, and when the two fight, the outcome is still unknown.
"Xiao Lin's strength is no less than Jiang Wang's, but he is too reckless and actually ran to Jiang's door to die."
"Under any other circumstances, if the Xiao family were to face a crisis, they certainly wouldn't dare to confront the Jiang family head-on and would definitely choose to compromise and retreat. But Xiao Lin insists on going into battle, which clearly shows that he wants to use Jiang Wang to avenge himself!"
"It's a pity, his wishful thinking is likely to fall through."
"He thought that by advancing to the ninth-grade martial master, he could sweep through the entire Qingxuan City, but he was completely unaware that Jiang Wang was a seventh-grade martial master, whose strength was even greater than Jiang Long's."
More and more cultivators gathered outside the Xiao family mansion, all staring at Xiao Lingyu with pity and shaking their heads.
Jiang Wang was very fast, and in the blink of an eye he was right in front of Xiao Lingyu.
clang!
With a single sword strike, he shattered the iron rod that Xiao Lingyu was swinging, and then swept his leg across, striking Xiao Lingyu hard in the chest.
Xiao Lingyu coughed up blood and flew backward, gliding for several meters before crashing onto the stone steps by the street.
"Xiao Lin, you're too naive."
Jiang Wang sneered with disdain, "If I hadn't put pressure on the Jiang clan, how could you have survived to this day? Do you still think you can contend with the Jiang clan by relying on the Xiao family? What wishful thinking!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wang stepped through the air and slowly approached Xiao Lingyu.
Jiang Wang is incredibly strong, making him one of the top young disciples in the Xiao family.
Even the most gifted core disciples could not contend with him.
"Brother Jiang Wang is mighty! He crushed that brat Xiao Lin's arrogance!" The Jiang family experts shouted, raising their arms in unison.
"Xiao Lin is doomed this time!" The elders of the Jiang family said with cold expressions.
"Heh heh, the Xiao family is courting death!"
“Jiang Wang has the strength to challenge those two or three realms above him. Even top-tier geniuses are powerless against him.”
"Xiao Lingyu is indeed a prodigy, but he is only an eighth-rank martial apprentice after all, and there is absolutely no way he can defeat Jiang Wang!"
Seeing Jiang Wang pressing closer, Xiao Lingyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Are you so confident that you can defeat me?"
"Of course I'm confident. I, Jiang Wang, am a born swordsman, and my specialty is close combat."
Jiang Wang grinned maliciously: "Today I'm not only going to cut off your head, but I'm also going to chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wang brandished his longsword and thrust it toward Xiao Lingyu's throat.
Whoosh!
However, just as the longsword was about to touch Xiao Lingyu's neck, Xiao Lingyu suddenly disappeared.
"Where is he?" Jiang Wang frowned slightly.
Just then, Xiao Lingyu's mocking voice rang in his ears: "You can't even see through my teleportation, yet you want to kill me? You're dreaming!"
"Huh?" Jiang Wang turned around abruptly, only to find to his surprise that Xiao Lingyu had somehow gotten behind him.
"Is this all you're relying on?"
Jiang Wang sneered, "In the face of absolute strength, any trickery is utterly useless."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Lingyu's lips curled slightly: "But I refuse to believe in this nonsense."
Boom!
Accompanied by a deep, muffled sound, a vast and powerful energy surged forth from Xiao Lingyu's body, instantly filling the entire void.
"A Martial Soul? You actually awakened a Martial Soul?!"
Feeling the surging martial spirit fluctuations in the void, Jiang Wang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
