Chapter 1058 - 1056: Fierce Battle with Zhang Xiao!

Chapter 1058: Chapter 1056: Fierce Battle with Zhang Xiao!

In the forest, Kang Shiyun was rushing away with the critically injured Kang Yiyang.

"Brother, you must not have anything happen to you." As Kang Shiyun saw Kang Yiyang barely holding on to life, tears uncontrollably streamed down from her eyes.

At this moment, Kang Yiyang had already fallen into a semi-comatose state, and the life force in his body was rapidly disappearing.

"I wonder how Lin Bai is doing now?"

Kang Shiyun was somewhat worried; when she had come up with this plan to lead the enemy away with Lin Bai, she felt this concern for him.

That’s a Spiritual Child there!

And not just one but seven Spiritual Children!

How much of a chance did Lin Bai have to get out alive?

"Brother, I will take you away from here."

Kang Shiyun, supporting Kang Yiyang, hurried on.

"Oh? Isn’t this Kang Shiyun and Kang Yiyang? In such a hurry, where are you going?" Just then, a light laugh sounded from the woods they were heading toward.

Kang Shiyun’s face tensed as she looked towards the forest ahead, where a group of Warriors emerged.

"Spiritual Child! Zhang Xiao!"

Kang Shiyun’s face turned deathly pale.

Zhang Xiao, upon seeing the shadow of a person being supported by Kang Shiyun, immediately laughed and said, "I didn’t expect that you’d actually manage to rescue Kang Yiyang from Senior Brother Su Cang’s grasp!"

Kang Shiyun said coldly, "Zhang Xiao, get out of the way!"

Zhang Xiao responded coldly, "Moving aside is not an option! Since Kang Yiyang was rescued by you, he now belongs to me. With both of you in my hands, I don’t believe Lin Bai would have the heart to watch his life-saving benefactors die at my hands!"

"I am not Su Cang, and I will definitely not give Lin Bai any chance of success!"

"You’re all staying behind."

Zhang Xiao said coldly, his figure suddenly shifting as he charged towards Kang Shiyun.

"Ah!" Kang Shiyun’s face filled with panic.

Zhang Xiao was a Spiritual Child.

And Kang Shiyun was but a Warrior at the Fifth Level of Earth Elixir Realm, while Kang Yiyang was a higher Cultivation, he was now no more than a gravely injured dying man!

"Sister, run... I will block him for you!" In that moment, Kang Yiyang regained a trace of consciousness and with great effort pushed Kang Shiyun away, moving his critically injured body towards Zhang Xiao.

"Kang Yiyang, not even in your prime could you withstand my punch, let alone now with your grave injuries. To come now, isn’t it just courting death?" Zhang Xiao mocked with a laugh, his fist smashing forcefully against Kang Yiyang’s body.

"Brother!"

Kang Shiyun screamed in agony, her face showing despair.

Suddenly, at that moment, a dazzling sword aura lit up the woods!

Whoosh—

A ferocious and piercing sword, slicing through the void, struck upon Zhang Xiao’s wrist!

With a loud boom, the force of the impact exploded, and Zhang Xiao staggered back ten steps, his face sinister as he shouted, "Who dares to spoil your grandpa Zhang Xiao’s good deeds?"

Rustling—

From the forest, a young man with stubble hurriedly approached.

In his hands, he held a Nine-grade Spirit Tool!

Kang Shiyun looked at the young man with stubble in amazement, feeling that this man looked very familiar. Yet, she could not for the life of her remember where she had seen him before!

"Take Kang Yiyang and go, I’ll deal with Zhang Xiao," the young man with stubble said coldly to Kang Shiyun.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving our lives. The Kang Family will surely repay you generously one day," said Kang Shiyun as she hurriedly ran over to lift Kang Yiyang and continued to speed away towards the outside of the Black Mountain Range.

"Where do you think you’re going? Stay!" Seeing Kang Yiyang and Kang Shiyun trying to leave, Zhang Xiao immediately cried out in alarm.

By now, it was common knowledge that Kang Yiyang and Kang Shiyun had a deep relationship with Lin Bai; whoever caught them could use them to blackmail Lin Bai into appearing.

Zhang Xiao did not want to miss this significant opportunity!

Without delay, Zhang Xiao flew forward, striking towards Kang Shiyun with lightning speed.

Seeing Zhang Xiao move, the young man with stubble immediately intercepted with his sword, blocking Zhang Xiao’s path.

Zhang Xiao’s face turned furious, his eyes raging with anger as he yelled, "Are you asking for death by not appreciating the favor? Do you really think I can’t kill you?"

The young man with stubble remained silent, his sword aura advancing towards Zhang Xiao.

"Seeking death!"

Zhang Xiao, now completely enraged, threw a ferocious punch towards Lin Bai.

The immense power detonated in an explosion!

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

The young man with the scumbag beard roared in anger, and above his head, a surge of black mist gathered. Suddenly, a sword that looked like a black jewel darted out of his spiritual cavity and viciously slashed down towards Zhang Xiao.

The power of the Sword Soul tore the heavens asunder, terrifying beyond measure!

Whoosh—

As the sword fell, a black Sword Aura, dazzling and blinding, struck down fiercely.

"Not good!"

Within this surge of Sword Aura, Zhang Xiao felt a shadow of death approaching; his entire body shivered, he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately, he dodged and retreated explosively.

But even though Zhang Xiao retreated promptly, he was still wounded by the Sword Spirit!

Spurt!

As the black Sword Aura swept past fiercely, fresh blood sprayed across the sky; Zhang Xiao’s left arm was torn open by the sword!

Blood poured out and was directly absorbed by the Sword Spirit.

Simultaneously, a force sucked away two-thirds of the blood from Zhang Xiao’s body!

Had it not been for Zhang Xiao forcefully using his movement technique to retreat, that sword might have drained all the blood in his body!

"What a terrifying Martial Soul!"

"It can even absorb my blood!"

"Is this a Demon Sword?"

Zhang Xiao’s face turned deathly pale as he stared at the black Sharp Sword, showing shock and wariness in his eyes. Without hesitation, he turned and left the area right away!

Zhang Xiao was a Spiritual Child!

If he decided to leave, even with Lin Bai’s strength, he could not be stopped.

"Lucky you’re quick on your feet!"

The young man with the scumbag beard gave a cold laugh, put away the Devouring Sword Spirit, and headed straight in Kang Shiyun’s direction.

Half an hour later.

Kang Shiyun, Kang Yiyang, and Lin Bai had all left the Black Mountain Range.

Before leaving, Lin Bai reverted to his true appearance.

He arrived at the rendezvous point agreed with Kang Shiyun.

From afar, Lin Bai saw a beautiful woman looking anxiously towards the Black Mountain Range; when she caught sight of Lin Bai, the worry on her face turned into joy.

"Lin Bai, are you alright?" Kang Shiyun called out happily.

"I’m fine, let’s head back to the Five Peaks first. As long as we’re back at the Five Peaks, we’ll be safe," said Lin Bai, glancing at Kang Yiyang’s injuries with a trace of pity on his face.

Immediately, carrying Kang Yiyang on his back, Lin Bai asked, "Where’s the nearest Teleportation Array from here?"

"To the south, eight hundred miles away there’s a mountain, that’s the Teleportation Point," Kang Shiyun pointed in a direction.

"Good, let’s go!"

Lin Bai carried Kang Yiyang on his back and headed straight for the Teleportation Point.

Kang Shiyun looked back at the Black Mountain Range one more time before they left.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"We just encountered Zhang Xiaolingzi. A Senior Brother intervened and saved us, and I’m worried whether this Senior Brother managed to escape from Zhang Xiao," Kang Shiyun said with some concern.

The Senior Brother mentioned by Kang Shiyun was naturally the young man with the scumbag beard, which was Lin Bai in disguise!

Hearing this, Lin Bai realized Kang Shiyun was actually worried about a stranger. The girl had a kind heart, so he smiled and said, "Don’t worry, he has his own good fortune—ordinary people couldn’t kill him!"

The young man with the scumbag beard was Lin Bai in disguise.

This identity was something Lin Bai did not want to reveal to too many people.

After all, the identity of the young man with scumbag beard was too sensitive.

The fierce Dragon Liet of the Underground Dragon Clan had died at the hands of the young man with the scumbag beard.

And now, Zhang Xiao had also seen this same young man with the scumbag beard.

Especially considering that every time the young man with scumbag beard appeared, the Devouring Sword Spirit would exhibit its power.

Hence, this identity was one Lin Bai did not wish to disclose to anyone.

Whether it was the death of Dragon Liet or the secret of Devouring Sword Spirit, Lin Bai needed to cover it up using the identity of the young man with the scumbag beard!

As Lin Bai advanced, he smiled slightly to himself: "Well, from now on, let Wusong, this young man with scumbag beard, be exclusively used for deploying the Devouring Sword Spirit."

"I didn’t expect the Sword Spirit’s power to be this formidable. With a single stroke, it even severed one of Zhang Xiao’s arms!"

"If I had been on that mountain top, sparing no effort to use the Devouring Sword Spirit, probably all the Spiritual Children, except for Su Cang, would have perished under it!"

"However, that would be too risky. The Devouring Sword Spirit is not only a symbol of the identity of the Sky-swallowing Clan, but also a kind of Demonic Martial Soul... Once exposed, I fear I won’t be able to stay on the Miracle Ridge anymore."
