Chapter 2448: Chapter 2451: Slaughter, Doomsday!

"This is getting troublesome. Jian You’s Killing Sword Body seems to have already reached the level of proficiency!"

Lin Ruoxian frowned slightly.

This Jian You really was a genius. If he had joined the Sword Clan a bit earlier, perhaps the three great experts of the Sword Clan would have included him.

"This Killing Sword Body looks a bit like a Beast Warrior transformation."

Ling Xiao pondered inwardly. Perhaps all Martial Souls could transform, it was just that Beast Martial Souls did it more easily, which was why there was a separate Beast Warrior category at all.

Jian You’s Killing Sword Body made him seem as if he were bathing in a terrifying sea of Sword Light.

All the air around him was completely torn apart.

Some Martial Artists who were too close and failed to dodge in time actually had their arms directly sliced off.

"Still not finished? In a real fight, do you think your enemy will give you this chance?"

Ling Xiao glanced coldly at Jian You. His figure flickered again and with another kick, he sent Jian You flying straight out of the Sword Clan Courtyard.

A rumbling boom sounded from outside. Nobody knew which building had just been blasted to rubble.

"You little bastard, you truly are despicable and shameless!"

Jian Kun cursed.

Ling Xiao said disdainfully, "Compared to despicable, I’m not even worthy to carry your shoes.

Jian Jia and Jian You, those two little dogs, just tried to sneak attack me. I merely made my move while he was transforming.

That counts as despicable too?"

"Ling Xiao, that’s enough. How can you talk like that to the Clan Leader of the Sword Clan? Do you have no manners at all?"

Before Jian Kun had time to curse Ling Xiao, An Hua Elder had already started with the sneering sarcasm.

"Elder An Hua, are you saying I’m wrong? If your eyes aren’t blind, you really shouldn’t be spouting such idiotic nonsense, should you?"

Since he and An Hua were already mortal enemies, and the other party had tried to kill him multiple times, he felt no need to give the man any face.

He spoke straight, without any sugar-coating.

"Insolence!"

An Hua roared, "You little bastard, stirring up trouble everywhere, now you even come to the Sword Clan’s wedding to shout and rampage, making my Dark Clan a laughingstock.

Even if you don’t die here today, you’ll still be punished once we’re back. Don’t think this is over.

And you, Lin Yang and Qing Luan Hua, listen carefully. Anyone who dares continue helping Ling Xiao will be treated as a rebel and dealt with according to the Dark Clan’s rules."

"Heh, what grand airs. So the Dark Clan is actually run by a fool who can’t tell right from wrong. I, Lin Yang, am set on helping the boss today. What can you do about it?"

If he abandoned Ling Xiao out of fear, that simply wouldn’t be Lin Yang’s style.

"That’s right, I don’t think Ling Xiao did anything wrong. Let me ask you, Elder An Hua: if your own family member were being forced into marriage and might very well die because of this wedding, what would you do?

Would you keep your mouth shut like some turtle-bastard coward?"

Perhaps Qing Luan Hua was too enraged, so her words were not ladylike at all, but she felt wonderfully relieved saying them.

An Hua was about to say something more.

Suddenly, a loud boom sounded from outside the courtyard, and a streak of Sword Light shot into the sky.

Jian You had returned.

Although there was blood at the corner of his lips and he looked extremely embarrassed, he was not dead.

Ling Xiao’s kick a moment ago had indeed been powerful.

However, the Sword Clan Martial Artists all knew that the Killing Sword Body directly lowered defense to zero.

So Jian You had long since commissioned the Sword Clan’s most skilled craftsmen to tailor a set of Defensive Magical Treasures for him.

Worn on the body, it protected him from head to toe.

Ling Xiao’s kick was terrifying, but it had only managed to crack that treasure slightly, without actually harming his body.

"Ling Xiao, I will definitely kill you!

Killing Sword Body, Killing Strike!"

Jian You hovered in midair, his body gradually condensing into the shape of a Giant Sword.

The Giant Sword swallowed and spat out Sword Qi, throwing the surrounding Elements into chaos.

In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, an awe-inspiring sight.

"A Killing Sword Body at the level of proficiency... Jian You really has worked hard. Let this strike heavily wound that Ling Xiao—better yet, kill him!"

Jian Kun hated Ling Xiao to the bone.

But limited by his own status, he could not personally make a move.

After all, he was the Clan Leader of the Sword Clan. If he struck, then the matter would become far from simple.

What’s more, he could feel a powerful force watching him from afar.

That force held no goodwill toward him.

It was definitely here to help Ling Xiao.

So he didn’t dare move.

He could only hope that Jian You would kill Ling Xiao with a single sword, and then today’s mess would be over.

"Die, Ling Xiao!"

Jian You danced through the air, like a Giant Sword stabbing toward Ling Xiao. Sword Qi raged in all directions, the scene incomparably shocking.

"Killing Sword Body, interesting. This offensive power really isn’t easy to withstand!"

Ling Xiao frowned slightly.

The Killing Sword Body’s attack was actually very simple: a straightforward thrust, nothing more.

But it was precisely this kind of attack that left almost no openings.

Because it was simple!

Because it was direct! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

At such a short distance, even if a straight-line attack was normally easy to dodge, this particular strike was not easy to avoid.

Ling Xiao also didn’t want to expose his Wolf Travel Thousand Miles Body Movement Technique too much, so he simply decided not to dodge.

If he used some other Body Movement Technique and got tagged even a little, that Sword Qi would immediately rip his whole body apart, and he would die miserably.

"Looks like I’ll have to answer offense with offense.

Exposing a bit of strength is fine. I’ve hidden enough anyway; I’m not afraid of revealing some."

Ling Xiao had a lot of methods. The Array Refining Stone he had just taken out hadn’t even been used yet.

Because someone like Jian You really wasn’t worth him wasting such a treasure as the Array Refining Stone on.

The Array Refining Stone was reserved for dealing with experts.

And experts meant people like Jian Kun and Jian Ruchao.

Even if he couldn’t kill them, he could at least delay their attacks and buy himself a chance to rescue Ling Jiaojiao.

With that thought, Ling Xiao gave up on the idea of dodging.

He drew out that unremarkable Heavy Sword from his Storage Ring, and then thrust it forward.

Vast Sword Qi erupted, and in an instant, it collided with Jian You’s enormous sword body.

"Meteor Sword Technique, final form—Doomsday!"

Although he had not yet cultivated this move to the Transcendental Realm and had only reached Great Perfection, its power was still more terrifying than most ordinary Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques.

In that instant, the entire sky seemed to turn black.

Countless terrifying rays of starlight fell from the heavens and then exploded, like Doomsday itself.

All those lights blasted onto Jian You’s massive sword body.

Then all the starlight vanished.

The most terrifying thing appeared.

It was a pitch-black Sword Shadow.

Enormous beyond measure, like a comet, only black; to be more precise, perhaps it resembled the Shadow of a comet.

Boom!

A horrifying roar echoed across the sky.

In that moment, the massed clouds gathered overhead were completely blown apart.

The sky instantly became cloudless for ten thousand miles, clear and bright.

On the ground, countless tables and chairs were pulverized.

Some of the Sword Clan’s buildings collapsed as a result.

Many Martial Artists were injured in the shockwave.

Of course, the unluckiest one was none other than Jian You.

His attack used his own body as the weapon. Once it was shattered, it meant his body would suffer dreadful crippling damage.
