Chapter 425: Chapter 419: Deadly Combat - Part 2

Not far away in the sky, Situ Rong’er gazed at the scene below, her expression turning rather grave.

"Did he directly use such a high-level killing move because he’s facing an opponent of the same level?"

"This move is indeed powerful. If it were an ordinary Fourth Grade cultivator, they would probably melt instantly upon contact with that dirty water. The power and aura emitted, it must be the Protective Aura-corrupting Bailei Mingshui... Ranked one hundred and thirty-two on the Myriad Waters List!"

The Fire God Child nodded solemnly as well.

"I hadn’t expected this old freak to be able to master such a tyrannical substance."

At this moment, the dirty water in the air was a yellowish-brown color, with the shapes of dead insects, feces, rotting things, black mud, and other incredibly foul and disgusting objects faintly visible.

The gas emitted by these objects was steaming up, to the extent that even the sky directly above began to show hints of pale yellow, as a venomous stench pervaded the surrounding atmosphere.

Below in the valley, the originally lush vegetation, trees, and grass were rapidly blackening and withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A massive pillar of water bore down towards Lin Xin like a blanket from the sky, bringing with it a thunderous roar—over five meters thick, it was like a giant rod smashing down at him.

Boom!!

A loud noise erupted.

Large amounts of dirty water scattered and splashed in the air.

Clearly emerging from within was a clean and tranquil figure—it was none other than Lin Xin from just a moment ago.

In his hand, he held a Dark Red Demon Sword several meters long, looking toward the Flying Corpse King with a calm expression as if nothing had happened.

The previously used Bailei Mingshui had failed to have the slightest effect.

At this moment, he lifted his foot and walked straight towards the Flying Corpse King.

"You’ve got some skills," narrowed eyes, the Flying Corpse King mused, naturally unconvinced that his previous move could resolve the opponent in one strike.

Unbeknownst to him, a giant yellowish-brown dirty water sphere, over ten meters in diameter, had appeared behind him.

The water sphere churned violently, releasing an unparalleled stench.

The sky quickly darkened to a gloomy yellow, and the air was continuously filled with wafts of the toxic fog from Bailei Mingshui.

"All Life Withering! Go!"

He summoned his Cultivation Technique’s killing move, fiercely pointing at Lin Xin.

Suddenly, the giant water sphere behind him rolled and turned, thundering towards this side. Simultaneously, an indescribable tremendous suction force emanated from the surface of the water sphere, pulling and trapping Lin Xin so that he couldn’t break free.

The air shook, toxic fog constantly spreading in every direction; the greenery of the valley below lasted only a moment before it was entirely turned gray-black, devoid of any life.

"Hahaha! Die, die!!"

The Flying Corpse King burst into crazed laughter. Another giant water sphere shot out from behind him, and more water spheres, each ten meters in diameter, rapidly gathered behind him and then hurtled towards Lin Xin one after another.

Soon, more than ten water spheres were simultaneously flying towards Lin Xin from all sides, including above and below.

Thump!!

A huge watery sound exploded as the many water spheres collided all at once, blasting the air where Lin Xin stood into a yellow, foul-smelling water mass.

Capable of corroding all things, including Spiritual and Demonic Qi, the Bailei Mingshui instantly covered all within a tens of meters radius.

Boom!!!

An explosive noise suddenly burst forth. The entire stinking water mass in the air exploded from within.

A clean figure slowly emerged from inside.

Countless water splashes fell, turning into raindrops that pelted the valley below. Whether stones or trees, everything was corroded and melted, turning into pools of yellow pus.

Lin Xin, holding his sword, hadn’t even changed his stance as he continued to walk toward the Flying Corpse King.

"To be able to invoke the Taoist Intent that generates Bailei Mingshui? Now that’s rare. However..." He gently rotated the blade of his sword.

"If you have no other tricks up your sleeve, then I suppose it’s about time this farce came to an end."

"How presumptuous!"

The Flying Corpse King’s face looked a bit ugly; the previous move was almost his Dao Seeking killer move.

Now, the surrounding area for miles around had been corroded into a land of death, and yet he hadn’t even managed to damage the hem of the opponent’s clothes.

He knew that his Bailei Mingshui feared no Protective Aura or Demonic Qi and could even directly breach the defense of most Body Cultivation Divine Techniques.

Yet, it couldn’t even get close to this person’s body.

How did he do it?!

His eyes fixed coldly on the opponent, his hand suddenly beckoned.

"I refuse to believe it!"

A vast surge of yellow water rose from below, becoming a water dragon. The tens of meters long water dragon twisted its body, charging towards Lin Xin with its mouth wide open.

"Rise! Rise! Rise!"

He roared furiously.

Suddenly, more and more water dragons surged up from below, and soon over ten water dragons, accompanied by foul odors, crossed and flew towards Lin Xin.

From afar, with the massive water dragons intertwining mid-flight and the target Lin Xin suspended above, compared to the size of the water dragons, he seemed no more significant than a tooth in the dragon’s mouth, completely inconspicuous.

"Useless."

Lin Xin looked indifferently at the incoming water dragons below.

The demonic sword in his hand flipped slightly.

Boom!!!!

In an instant, the sky seemed to open with a torrential downpour; all the water dragons collided and were exploded by his sword into dozens of sword marks, smashing into countless raindrops that fell.

With the water dragons slain, Lin Xin didn’t pause for a moment and continued walking towards the Flying Corpse King.

"Lost Soul Shadow Lice!"

The Flying Corpse King already had an ominous feeling.

With a shake of his sleeve, a vast swarm of silvery-white insects burst forth, enveloping Lin Xin in a sky-covering barrage.

Hum!

A flash of blood-red sword light, and in an instant all the insects were sliced to death, falling like scattered crumbs, rain-like. They couldn’t obstruct him in the slightest.

"The Myriad Thousand Souls Lamp! Corpse Gathering Flame! Rejected by Heaven and earth, inexhaustible by all things! Sacrifice to the Three Demon Sovereigns, with blood as the guide, with souls as the offering! Kill!!!" The Flying Corpse King spat out a mouthful of old blood, which immediately transformed into runes forming a small, intricate formation before him.

It was clear he was fighting with desperate measures now.

An ancient, decaying, and formidable aura slowly began to rise from the gradually-forming lake of yellow water below.

Numerous bubbles emerged and burst.

"Summoning a Demon Sovereign?" Situ Rong’er’s face changed slightly at a distance.

"The old Flying fellow is going all out; he’s brought out his bottom-of-the-box abilities, and Yuan Mo is watertight in defense! Impressive!" The Fire God child exclaimed in admiration.

"To this extent, and still to be able to summon a Demon Sovereign with the power of one person, this is an existence with a status equal to the Demon Gods of the Four Directions of the Demon Race, a terrifying sovereign figure rumored to be unmatched by anyone but Yuan Jing! It seems the old ghost of the Flying Corpse King must be driven mad by anger." Situ Rong’er gazed at the increasingly massive aura below in the distance. "Even for him, the price of successfully summoning a Demon Sovereign is far beyond what any of us could imagine."

"This is where the fun begins, don’t you think?" The Fire God child, expressionless, took out a fire-red bird-like treasure at his side, gently stroking its feathers as if unconcerned.

"Is that so?" Situ Rong’er could tell that the other party was ready to intervene at any moment.

After all, this was about a Demon Sovereign.

Demon Sovereigns, Demon Gods, and Taoist Ancestors, all were beings formed naturally in the Void by the gathering of incense and godly thoughts mixed with other various energies and materials, akin to Blood Beasts.

They had no life, no consciousness; they existed only in the Void, acting according to the meaning of their own existence.

In other words, they were each a terrifying conglomeration of countless forces, undying and indestructible. Even if shattered, they could easily reconvene.

As long as the multitudes of worlds still held legends of them, they would be eternal.

Many cultivators could summon their divided strength for various purposes.

Such summons would typically occur on battlefields, with the combined strength of many cultivators, and it was rare for anyone to see such methods used in single combat.

Splash...

A huge splash erupted as a gigantic black arm, clad in black armor with sharp fangs, stretched out from the yellow waters below and reached for Lin Xin.

The arm was so massive that the previous water dragon couldn’t compare; the terrifylingly large hand, hundreds of meters long, was like a small mountain pressing toward Lin Xin.

"Hahahaha!!! Die!!!" The Flying Corpse King laughed wildly, "If Yuan Jing represents a qualitative leap to another level, the ultimate in quality, then this is the ultimate in quantity!! Enjoy it!!! The Nine Goblet Demon Sovereign that I’ve released at the cost of half of my Essential Blood!!!"

The violent winds swept through, yellow droplets splashed about, and the entire area within a dozen miles was filled with countless yellow clouds of poison gas boiling up.

The massive black demonic arm didn’t lose any momentum and grasped fiercely toward the air where Lin Xin was.

Boom!!!!!

The thunderous sound of the clasp echoed in midair.

The Fire God child’s face changed, the little red bird in his hand began to shake its wings, preparing to fly forward to the rescue.

Shick!!!

But immediately, a faint red light shot out from where the demonic arm grasped.

In the blink of an eye, all three saw a crimson line like molten lava appear on the back of the demon arm’s palm.

From top to bottom, from the fingers to the wrist, a straight red line of cracks!!

"Could it be???"

The Fire God child’s mouth gaped slightly, guessing a slight possibility.

At this time, even Situ Rong’er looked somewhat pale; she doubted if she were in such a situation, it would be difficult to act and escape. Likely, the only option would be to temporarily avoid its peak.

But this person... this person actually...!!

The red line grew brighter and more blinding.

Finally, in just a few breaths, the entire demonic palm exploded thunderously, splitting into two parts!

Howl!!!

The angry roar of the Nine Goblet Demon Sovereign filled with immense unwillingness came from the water.

"It’s useless." Lin Xin’s figure slowly emerged from the center of the palm. Unharmed, his voice still as detached as before under the black robe.

He held the sword in both hands, apparently still maintaining the posture from the preceding slash.

Looking at the shocked Flying Corpse King, he brandished the Demonic Sword; more than eight hundred in Damage Attribute granted him not only terrifying power but also speed.

"This pointless farce is over."

He flicked the blade of the sword lightly.

Ding!!

A crisp, pleasant yet eerie sword ringing suddenly spread out, causing all living beings who heard it to briefly fall into a state of sluggishness.

"Heart Eye Sword Path · Red Flower Cross Chiming...."

Shick!!

Lin Xin transformed into a red line and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind the Flying Corpse King.

A red sword mark emerged from the center of the Flying Corpse King’s body, from his forehead to his abdomen.

"You...." He reached out shakily, disbelievingly and slowly touched his own glabella as faint red blood seeped out, turning into droplets rolling down.

What his fingers touched was a warm, sticky, and viscous liquid....

Boom!!!

The entire body of the Flying Corpse King exploded on the spot, turning into a shower of blood rain.
