Chapter 1081: Chapter 1079: Self-Destructing Martial Soul!

"Have you gone mad?"

Lin Bai stared at Xu Jiangsheng’s ferocious face, his gaze lifting as he watched a crimson flame gradually condensing above Xu Jiangsheng’s head, his eyes filled with shock.

Xu Jiangsheng was actually going to use the Demonic Martial Soul in front of hundreds of thousands of Warriors?

"Essence of Fire!"

"Purifying World Fire Lotus!"

Even before the Martial Soul had fully revealed itself, terrifying streams of fire spiritual power began to rapidly gather between Xu Jiangsheng’s palms, forming into a fiery lotus flower as mesmerizing as blazing flames!

"That move!"

Lin Bai remembered this move, which had almost destroyed an entire mountain range during the Year-end Tail Sacrifice in Shenwu Kingdom. If it hadn’t been for Lin Bai using the Devouring Sword Spirit back then, he would have likely died under this fiery lotus!

"Such terrifying power!"

"What’s happening? I feel so much fire spiritual power being absorbed by Xu Jiangsheng."

"What kind of Martial Soul is this, to possess such might?"

A multitude of Warriors below started exclaiming in alarm.

"This is..." Even Ye Wuhuan had put down his teacup, his gaze fixed intently on Xu Jiangsheng.

Kang Xiao’s face also showed a trace of shock.

Lin Bai’s peripheral vision swept over Ye Wuhuan and Kang Xiao, his heart whispering coldly, "Now that the Essence of Fire is still revealing itself, Ye Wuhuan and Kang Xiao can’t see clearly that this Martial Soul is a Demonic Martial Soul..."

"But once the Demonic Martial Soul is fully displayed, with the capabilities of Ye Wuhuan and Kang Xiao, they will definitely recognize it."

"By then, as long as Ye Wuhuan captures Xu Jiangsheng!"

"If Xu Jiangsheng really gets to the point of fish dying and net breaking, he will inform Ye Wuhuan that I possess a Demonic Martial Soul..., that would be troublesome."

"Xu Jiangsheng must die today!"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai’s eyes gradually revealed a surging killing intent.

Just as Lin Bai said.

Once Xu Jiangsheng released the full potential of the Essence of Fire and the Martial Soul appeared in this world, Ye Wuhuan and Kang Xiao would undoubtedly capture Xu Jiangsheng. Then, when Xu Jiangsheng was on the brink of death, he would tell Ye Wuhuan and Kang Xiao that Lin Bai also had a Demonic Martial Soul, dragging someone down with him. That would be very dangerous for Lin Bai.

With Lin Bai’s current strength, being targeted by a master of the Flying Sky Realm was no good thing!

Therefore, Lin Bai already harbored the intent to kill - Xu Jiangsheng had to die!

And he had to die now!

"Hahaha, Lin Bai, come on, use your Martial Soul!"

"Let’s have a showdown once again!"

Xu Jiangsheng looked at Lin Bai maniacally, roaring wildly.

Lin Bai gazed at Xu Jiangsheng, a hint of icy killing intent condensing in his eyes, and instantly his figure soared, suddenly pressing towards Xu Jiangsheng!

"Seizing God Martial Soul, I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

"Plunder!"

The moment Lin Bai got close to Xu Jiangsheng, above his head, a mist surged, transforming into countless threads encasing the Essence of Fire above Xu Jiangsheng’s head.

Lin Bai was also making a desperate bet. If Seizing God Martial Soul couldn’t snatch Xu Jiangsheng’s Martial Soul, then today Xu Jiangsheng would surely fight to the death, and both Lin Bai and Xu Jiangsheng would be exposed to the world!

Seizing God Martial Soul turned into threads, instantly feasting on the Essence of Fire.

Whirring—

The Essence of Fire immediately began to undulate violently, as though it was on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Meanwhile, the fiery lotus that had condensed between Xu Jiangsheng’s hands, transformed into a torrent of fire spiritual power, began to dissipate wildly!

"What’s going on?"

"My Martial Soul..."

Xu Jiangsheng looked at the Essence of Fire in disbelief, finding that his Martial Soul was gradually slipping from his control, feeling as if someone were trying to pull his Martial Soul out of his body!

"Are you trying to plunder my Martial Soul?"

Xu Jiangsheng looked up and saw that the Essence of Fire had been entwined by translucent threads, already coiled around by two thirds.

Simultaneously, Xu Jiangsheng also felt that he had lost two-thirds of his control over the Essence of Fire!

"It’s going to be a success."

Lin Bai saw that within the fog of the Seizing God Martial Soul, two-thirds of the Essence of Fire had gradually condensed!

Just a little more, and Lin Bai would be able to command this Demonic Martial Soul!

"Without your Martial Soul, how will you be reborn?" Lin Bai stared at Xu Jiangsheng, saying coldly.

"No!" Xu Jiangsheng’s eyes suddenly turned blood red, his face contorted in a roar, and then panic spread across his face. Once he lost the Essence of Fire, Xu Jiangsheng would once again become the most mediocre waste in this world!

"Lin Bai, even if I die, I will not let you have it!"

Xu Jiangsheng gritted his teeth, his face twisted.

"Explode!"

Xu Jiangsheng roared furiously, forcefully igniting the Spiritual Power of the Fire Spirit within the remaining one-third control over the Essence of Fire, a restless surge of Spiritual Power began to swell atop his Martial Soul!

"Not good, he’s going to self-destruct his Martial Soul!"

Lin Bai’s expression darkened, cursing in his heart: This man is simply a madman!

Lin Bai quickly withdrew the Seizing God Martial Soul and immediately turned to retreat a hundred meters away!

Boom—

A huge mushroom cloud of flame exploded above Xu Jiangsheng’s head.

Lin Bai focused his eyes and saw that there was no longer an Essence of Fire above Xu Jiangsheng’s head...

Lin Bai felt such frustration!

Just a third away, and Lin Bai would have been able to control a Martial Soul that was nearly immortal!

But at that moment, Xu Jiangsheng chose to rather shatter than be complete, opting to self-destruct his Demonic Martial Soul!

"The ancients were right, a warrior with a Demonic Martial Soul is a madman. No wonder so many warriors in this world wish to kill those possessed by a Demonic Martial Soul!"

"When they go mad, they truly are terrifying!"

Lin Bai stared at Xu Jiangsheng and said coldly.

The self-destruction of the Essence of Fire unleashed a terrifying wave of power that turned a thousand-meter radius arena into a fierce inferno of flames, lasting for ten breaths before the flames gradually dissipated!

"Even without the Essence of Fire, you must die today!"

Lin Bai wouldn’t miss this great opportunity; Xu Jiangsheng was the only person who knew Lin Bai had a Demonic Martial Soul. Once he was dead, Lin Bai would be even safer!

Immediately, Lin Bai’s Nine Rotations Sword Steps flashed, and he charged into the inferno of flames!

Xu Jiangsheng, weakened from the self-destruction of his Martial Soul, stood unsteadily on the ground, his face pale as paper. Seeing Lin Bai charging in, his expression turned into an unprecedented grimace of rage: "Lin Bai, today, only one of us can live!"

"Heavenly Fire Forbidden Skill!"

Xu Jiangsheng shook himself, and a Flame Dragon formed once again.

"You self-destructed your Martial Soul, and now you lack the power for rebirth!" Lin Bai’s gaze sharp and ruthless, staring at Xu Jiangsheng: "If that’s the case, descend to hell!"

"Space Shatter!"

Lin Bai’s sword slashed through the air, sending overwhelming Sword Aura whistling down.

A sword cleaved through the void, slicing the Flame Dragon instantly, and then the Sword Aura, swift as lightning, struck Xu Jiangsheng right at the throat!

"Lin Bai, stop! You cannot kill in the Martial Arts Competition!"

Kang Xiao came to his senses at that moment, a surge of power from his hand directly hit Lin Bai’s Sword Aura.

He shattered Lin Bai’s Sword Aura right in front of Xu Jiangsheng!

The sword strike failed to kill Xu Jiangsheng.

Xu Jiangsheng laughed wildly: "Haha, Lin Bai, I might have lost my Martial Soul, but you have it, don’t you? As the owner of a Demonic Martial Soul, we all know what it will mean when it’s exposed to the world!"

"Lin Bai, I can’t kill you, but do you think the three Supreme ones from Miracle Ridge won’t be able to?"

Xu Jiangsheng glared at Lin Bai, saying ominously, before shouting to Ye Wuhuan: "Senior Ye Wuhuan, this Lin Bai..."
