Tang Hengdao was startled.

Olin looked even more disdainful, "You?"

Chen Xiao said casually, "Someone relying on external force to elevate to Fake Martial Saint, really considers themselves a true Martial Saint of the Human Realm?"

Olin had only temporarily elevated to this state through external force, his strength was still far inferior compared to a true Martial Saint of the Human Realm, so naturally, Chen Xiao was not intimidated by him.

As he spoke, several silver needles appeared in his hand, and then, all of these needles embedded themselves into his body!

Blood Transformation Three Needles!

It stimulates the blood energy throughout his body, allowing his strength to surge temporarily!

But relying on Blood Transformation Three Needles alone, it was not enough!

Therefore, he used another forbidden needle technique called the Heavenly Creation Needle!

This technique can only be used by martial artists, and once used, all of the practitioner’s apertures and meridians open up, allowing them to absorb the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy madly to boost battle power!

Of course, this comes with significant side effects.

It is extremely harmful to the martial artist’s body.

After applying these two needle techniques to himself, Chen Xiao’s body surface turned crimson, the blood energy all over subtly emerged to the surface, even his breath became heavy, while a whirlwind arose around him, with waves of nature’s spiritual energy crazily pouring into his body!

His aura instantly skyrocketed, the atmosphere around him became chaotic and violent, strong waves of power roamed throughout his limbs and bones, making his expression a bit distorted due to the uncontrollable immense force.

"Cough cough—" Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Tang Hengdao’s eyes narrowed, "Brother Chen, you..."

"No worries, just a minor side effect." Chen Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Brother Tang, lend me your sword."

"Alright!" Tang Hengdao directly tossed over the Tang Sword.

"Buzz—" Chen Xiao trembled the sword with Qi Force, making it emit a sharp sword ring, "Good blade!"

A decent weapon can significantly enhance a martial artist’s power.

Olin’s sinister face showed a hint of disdain, "You forcefully unleash your inner potential, forcibly absorb nature’s spiritual energy, your body can’t withstand it! In this state, you want to kill me? I fear you won’t last even two minutes like this?"

"To kill someone like you, ten seconds is more than enough." Chen Xiao held the Tang Sword horizontally, glaring coldly at Olin.

"Your blood must taste delicious!" A sinister grin spread across Olin’s face.

Then, he lunged forward!

"Ssss—" His nails seemed like sharp swords, constantly slicing the air forming a dense blade storm, instantly enveloping Chen Xiao within.

And Chen Xiao’s gaze turned extremely cold at that moment.

His sword moved too, striking continuously, akin to countless white threads, dazzlingly stunning, yet behind these brilliant sword lights lay an intense killing intent.

Though he belittled Olin verbally, he knew very well that Olin was the most terrifying opponent he had encountered till now. The power Olin possessed now was more horrifying than Manlard and Augudalin combined!

Moreover, he forcefully stimulated his body’s potential with Blood Transformation Three Needles, and used Heavenly Creation Needle to absorb such massive nature’s spiritual energy into his body, rendering enormous strain, and such a state couldn’t last long, hence he had to end the fight quickly!

The two clashed directly, engaging in battle fiercely.

Every slash by Chen Xiao, the powerful sword qi ripped open the ground, surrounding trees got severed at the waist, exposed rocks got shattered!

Sand flew and stones rumbled, causing chaos around their fierce battle.

Tang Hengdao couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with shock, the power of these two had reached unimaginable levels, if he were to fight them, he wouldn’t last five moves!

However, he also knew very well that both Olin and Chen Xiao relied on special means to achieve such terrifying strength akin to Martial Saints of the Human Realm!

"Kill!"

Chen Xiao’s sword became faster and more ferocious; his body’s surface boiled with heat, his killing intent grew bit by bit, eventually, even Olin felt a pressure, the aura of Chen Xiao became more dreadful.

In a short period, he went from being evenly matched with Chen Xiao, to being at a disadvantage.

He roared in fury, using all his inner strength, hoping to decide the final outcome.

"Time to settle the score!" Chen Xiao gripped the sword with both hands, channeling all his power into the Tang Sword, then leaped into the air, slashing down with both man and sword! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Come on!" Olin’s ten fingers moved deftly, his sharp nails like ten sharp blades, surrounded Chen Xiao from various angles, slashing, stabbing, or cleaving!

Their Blood Clan’s nails were as good as divine weapons, plus his Inner Strength infusion, nothing lacked in toughness against any weapon, essentially enabling him to command ten swords, while Chen Xiao had only one blade!

Yet, Chen Xiao’s sword moved forward boldly, slashing his nails with sky-breaking momentum! Piercing into his head! Eventually, the tip of the blade swept out from his crotch!

Without bloodstain.

With a loud bang, Olin’s body was split in half on the spot, both parts flew to either side, bursting into clouds of blood mist...

The scene returned to dead silence.

Chen Xiao used the Tang Sword to hold himself upright, preventing a fall, spewing another mouthful of blood...

After consecutive fierce battles, his body had reached an extreme limit.

He used Spiritual Power, employed Blood Transformation Three Needles, also utilized Heavenly Creation Needle, if it were someone else, they’d have succumbed on the spot, dying violently.

"Brother Chen!" Tang Hengdao saw him and hurried to help him up.

Chen Xiao shook his head, "I’m fine, just a bit over-exhausted."

He grinned, "Luckily, I didn’t let everyone down!"

Tang Hengdao remained silent, merely patting his shoulder.

This battle’s greatest sacrifice was Chen Xiao’s.

If it weren’t for Chen Xiao, chances are none of them could survive against Olin today.

And with these folks dealt with, winning the Hundred Countries Military Battle championship was almost certain now.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s voice deepened, "How much longer do you plan to observe from the shadows?!"

Tang Hengdao upon hearing, also swept his gaze following Chen Xiao’s line of sight.

"Swish swish swish—"

Several figures descended from the mountain to their location.

Laf appeared with several contestants from Xiong Country.

Tang Hengdao’s eyes turned sharp, "So it’s you guys, who initially promised to form an alliance with us, yet couldn’t be found when needed, and only now emerge to pick up dead fish, you sure had a splendid scheme!"

Laf smiled faintly, "We encountered some enemies on our way, thus delayed, not intentionally dragging out the time, by the time we arrived, you were already fighting, with such intense battle, we couldn’t intervene at all!"

Hearing this, Tang Hengdao simply sneered, "What? So now you plan to exploit our weakness to settle scores with us?"
