The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 144 - 144 144 Martial Soul Defies the Heavens

144: Chapter 144: Martial Soul Defies the Heavens 144: Chapter 144: Martial Soul Defies the Heavens Xu Jiangsheng’s Martial Soul was the Bronze Crow Bow Martial Soul of Mysterious Rank Seventh Grade.

Warriors with a Golden Crow Bow Martial Soul were naturally archery geniuses.

Moreover, the arrows shot from the Golden Crow Bow could penetrate mountains and rivers, possessing the strength to shoot down the glaring sun.

As the Martial Soul appeared, Xu Jiangsheng’s aura instantly soared; his hair wildly danced, and his eyes became entirely golden.

Whizz, whizz, whizz——

Nine arrows broke through the air in succession, shooting towards Lin Bai.

Simultaneously, Xu Jiangsheng swiftly deployed a profound and mysterious body skill, putting some distance between him and Lin Bai.

Golden flames burned on the nine golden arrows, landing in front of Lin Bai.

“Cut!”

Lin Bai swung his sword, attempting to cut down the nine arrows.

But as his sword dropped and hit the golden arrows, it not only failed to break the arrows but also inflicted a dent on Lin Bai’s Sinister Wind Sword.

The Sinister Wind Sword was damaged, and its spirituality began to scatter!

“Not good!”

Seeing that his sword failed to bring down these nine arrows, Lin Bai swiftly deployed the Qilin Step, his figure dodging out like a bolt of lightning.

Bang, bang, bang!

The nine arrows fell, hitting the ground, and the golden flames immediately burned a hundred meters around into a sea of fire.

“This Martial Soul, it indeed possesses such formidable power!” Lin Bai said with some shock.

Different Martial Souls have different talents.

For example, Lin Bai’s Devouring Sword Spirit could greatly enhance Lin Bai’s comprehension of sword art, which was why Lin Bai could grasp sword intention so fast; it could also double the power of Lin Bai’s sword skill, which was why Lin Bai could challenge those much stronger than him so easily.

As for Ye Suxin, who had previously fought with Lin Bai, her Martial Soul was a Wanshou Bell.

When the Wanshou Bell rang, all the beasts and demons in the world obeyed its command.

That’s why Ye Suxin could easily subdue three True Martial Realm demon beasts in the re-examination test.

As for Xu Jiangsheng in front, his Martial Soul was the Golden Crow Bow Martial Soul.

After revealing his Martial Soul, the power of his archery skill increased by at least twice, and it carried a peculiar golden fire that regular spiritual water couldn’t extinguish.

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

While Lin Bai was shocked, Xu Jiangsheng rapidly shot arrows, one after another, aiming at Lin Bai.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows flew out from Xu Jiangsheng’s bow, forming a shower of arrows descending.

“Do you think that by revealing your Martial Soul, you can kill me?”

“Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, second form, Wind Silence!”

Seeing Lin Bai’s eyes opening and shutting, an intense killing intent hit square in the face.

Activating his body skill, Lin Bai charged into the shower of arrows, boundless windstorm gathering around him, agitating the earth and heavens, his sword heavily swinging downward.

This sword Qi tore apart the earth and heavens, smashed mountains and rivers, and hit the shower of arrows.

A resounding explosion.

This golden shower of arrows was directly shattered by Lin Bai.

“Your sword skill is…

at least Earth Grade 9!” Seeing Lin Bai display his sword skill, Xu Jiangsheng was immediately startled.

Even the Xu family didn’t have an Earth Grade 9 combat skill.

In the Xu Family of the Imperial Capital, there was only one Earth Grade 8 combat skill to be considered a treasure safeguarding the family line, which only the successive young patriarch had the right to cultivate.

At the same time, Earth Grade 9 combat skills existed only within the Four Major Sects, usually considered as the unrivaled combat skills within the sect.

They were permitted only for martial artists who were extremely loyal to the sect or had made significant contributions to the sect.

Therefore, at this moment, Xu Jiangsheng was stunned to see Lin Bai deploy his sword skill.

An Earth Grade 9 combat skill, in the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, was indeed a rare treasure.

“This combat skill, I want it!” After a brief surprise, Xu Jiangsheng said ecstatically.

“You should focus on surviving my sword before thinking about anything else.”

Hearing Xu Jiangsheng still coveting his sword skill, Lin Bai sneered and rushed up with his sword.

Since he had already revealed the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, Lin Bai wasn’t going to leave these people alive.

“Haha, do you truly believe that I do not have any trump cards?”

“Your Martial Soul is of Earth Level 9, with your current cultivation at the Xuanwu Realm’s ninth level, you cannot fully comprehend or grasp it.

The power you can exert is not even worth mentioning,” Xu Jiangsheng scoffed.

“Who told you that my cultivation is at the ninth level of Xuanwu Realm?” Lin Bai inquired with a sneer.

“What?” Xu Jiangsheng was taken aback, looking at Lin Bai’s cultivation.

At this moment, Lin Bai’s cultivation level had elevated, from the ninth level of Xuanwu Realm to the third level of Earth Martial Realm.

“You concealed your cultivation level; no wonder you managed to kill Shang Tian so easily!” Xu Jiangsheng exclaimed.

Earlier, Xu Jiangsheng and Liyun Suan were puzzled.

How could a warrior of the ninth level of Xuanwu Realm kill Shang Tian easily?

Xu Jiangsheng finally understood at this moment that Lin Bai had reached the third level of the Earth Martial Realm.

“That’s impossible.

Just three days ago, when you were in the Treasure Pavilion, you were only at the ninth level of the Xuanwu Realm.

In such a short span of three days, how could you possibly have advanced to the third level of Earth Martial Realm!” Xu Jiangsheng’s face was a mixture of disbelief and shock, as if he had seen a ghost, while looking at Lin Bai.

“This rate of realm breakthrough could even outpace an Emperor-grade Martial Soul!”

“Either you possess a Martial Soul that surpasses the Emperor-grade, or you have a heaven-defying cultivation skill!”

Upon hearing Xu Jiangsheng’s conjecture, Lin Bai was secretly astonished.

Xu Jiangsheng, a prodigy from the Xu family of the Imperial Capital, was indeed knowledgeable and discerning.

He managed to deduce all of Lin Bai’s secrets in an instant.

“Correct, my Martial Soul is a God-level Martial Soul!” Lin Bai burst into hearty laughter.

Xu Jiangsheng retorted coldly, “Nonsense, if you were a God-level Martial Soul, an anomaly would have appeared across the entire Shenwu Kingdom when you awakened your Martial Soul.

Moreover, I have already examined your cultivation history.

When you awakened your Martial Soul in Lingxi City, it was a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul!”

“I understand now; it’s the Great Five Elements Skill!” Xu Jiangsheng said feverishly.

If Lin Bai’s Martial Soul was Yellow Level First Grade, then his breakthrough to the third level of Earth Martial Realm in just three days was due to the power of the Great Five Elements Skill!

“The Great Five Elements Skill!” Liyun Suan was also speculating about the secret of Lin Bai.

When he heard Xu Jiangsheng reveal the truth, he felt thrilled throughout his body and looked at Lin Bai with fervor.

“If the Great Five Elements Skill allowed Lin Bai to break through to the third level of Earth Martial Realm in just three days, this cultivation skill is undoubtedly heaven-defying!” Liyun Suan was extremely excited and greedily looked at Lin Bai.

“Want to know?

Go ask Yama in hell.”

Lin Bai sneered, not wanting to engage in any idle talk with Xu Jiangsheng.

Meanwhile, while Lin Bai was talking with Xu Jiangsheng, he had already quietly approached Xu Jiangsheng—within a hundred meters.

At this close distance, Lin Bai could launch a lethal strike in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

The onslaught of Sword Qi comprised of astonishing force, causing a great turmoil and aiming directly at Xu Jiangsheng’s face.

Xu Jiangsheng’s face filled with horror; as he gathered his wits and was about to shoot an arrow, the sword had already knocked him off his feet.

He was sent flying, crashing into several trees before stopping.

The Golden Crow Bow Martial Soul was shattered by Lin Bai’s sword and turned into particles of golden light, merging back into Xu Jiangsheng’s body.

With his Martial Soul damaged and his body severely injured, Xu Jiangsheng lost all his combat prowess in an instant.

“Liyun Suan, what are you waiting for?

Take action!” Xu Jiangsheng shouted angrily at Liyun Suan.
