Chapter 532: Chapter 532: King of the Northeast (4 more updates, please subscribe)
Zhao Benling activated his Instantaneous Movement skill, swiftly drifting to the right and with a loud roar, he unleashed his Soul Skill,
Fierce Tiger Descending Mountain!
A massive tiger, ten meters in height, leaped from midair, ferociously pouncing toward Yang Xiao.
The tiger’s momentum was fierce.
As the giant tiger pounced from above, it nearly sealed off all of Yang Xiao’s escape routes. Yang Xiao let out a long cry, his body shooting up from the ground, soaring over twenty meters into the air.
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
As an Evolver below King Level, jumping over ten meters was already impressive, but Yang Xiao’s Divine Mountain Light Skill was elegant and controlled, allowing him to easily ascend more than twenty meters, a movement quite different from ordinary jumps.
What surprised everyone even more was Yang Xiao effortlessly turning around in midair, his body flipping to descend feet first, his Longsword fiercely slashing towards the giant tiger below.
With a ripping sound,
Yang Xia’s Longsword slashed across the back of the giant tiger, which was in the midst of a fierce charge, directly tearing a ten-meter long wound on its back.
Zhao Benling felt his body shake, and the giant tiger collapsed, the Soul Skill dissipating.
Yang Xiao then rotated 360 degrees in midair, stabbing towards Zhao Benling.
Zhao Benling was greatly alarmed and drifted backwards by about ten meters, leaping up and thrusting his Long Spear toward Yang Xiao from midair.
Being a King Level Evolver, Zhao Benling possessed the Floating Flight Skill, whereas Yang Xiao’s Light Skill could only utilize borrowed forces, limiting his time suspended in midair.
Lan Xin could already activate air wings, achieving brief midair flight, but Yang Xiao’s understanding of Divine Mountain Snow’s Light Skill wasn’t sufficient. Although his Genetic Evolution Level was higher than Lan Xin’s, he had not yet developed air wings, nor could he sustain prolonged flight.
Yang Xiao descended back to the ground in the plaza.
Zhao Benling relentlessly pursued from the air, the two exchanging moves rapidly, entangling in over a dozen exchanges in an instant.
Neither used their Soul Skills or Beast Souls anymore, but relied on simple Weapons, fighting with their attributes’ strength.
Zhao Benling believed he should have the advantage in hand-to-hand combat since he was a King Level Evolver and all Four Attributes were stronger than Yang Xiao’s.
However, after over a dozen rounds of fighting, Zhao Benling was shocked to find that Yang Xiao’s strength, speed, and responsiveness were not inferior to his and were even stronger.
Yang Xiao also did not use his Soul Skill, but gradually maxed out the combined power of his Four Attributes.
This was his first fight against a human King Level Genetic Evolver, and he was eager to know where he and his opponent differed.
Initially, he could feel Zhao Benling’s robust strength, incredibly fast speed, and agile response putting immense pressure on him, with numerous close calls.
However, utilizing the extra capabilities obtained from Ancient Martial Cultivation, Yang Xiao gradually adapted to the combat with Zhao Benling, and as the power of Ancient Martial Arts burst forth, his comprehensive combat power of the Four Attributes started to continuously increase.
Yang Xiao fought more bravely and swiftly as the battle went on.
It’s no wonder that fighting with masters is said to improve oneself; battling Zhao Benling for dozens of rounds and facing the pressure of a King Level Evolver significantly enhanced Yang Xiao’s potential.
But Zhao Benling became more and more anxious as the battle progressed; he even felt he was being gradually overpowered by Yang Xiao, which frustrated him greatly. After all, he was a King Level Evolver – couldn’t he defeat Yang Xiao?
Zhao Benling roared, repelling Yang Xiao with a sword strike, his figure flashing instantly transforming into a giant tiger several meters long—this time not a Soul Skill, but his Beast Soul, the Magic City Tiger.
The giant tiger, with a tempest of fierce combat power, raised a massive Tiger Claw, reaching for Yang Xiao.
This swipe, even a giant rock would be crushed.
Yang Xiao dodged swiftly in a flash, his Divine Sense surged,
With a booming sound, a hundred-meter-long Monster tail burst through the air, fiercely sweeping at the giant tiger.
Sweeping Void!
Many in the crowd had once seen Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void in Magic City, but now, being an advanced Enhanced Gene, how many times stronger was the power of Sweeping Void?
For a moment, the wind surged, and the giant tail arrived with a roaring thunderous sound.
Zhao Benling was not to be outdone. With a tiger’s roar, he opened his gigantic mouth, and his two massive front claws tore through the void, pouncing towards the sweeping tail.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion vibrated, making the defense light screen in front of the podium buzz loudly.
Zhao Benling’s Beast Soul tiger was sent flying backwards, crashed to the ground with a thud, and spat out fresh blood.
Meanwhile, Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void’s giant tail also developed two massive cracks.
Yang Xiao’s heart trembled, a surge of blood nearly rushed to his throat, but he forcibly suppressed it.
Stabilizing his Divine Sense, he barely maintained the Sweeping Void’s giant tail from collapsing, took a deep breath, retracted the Sweeping Void’s Cultivation Technique, and the giant tail disappeared.
Yang Xiao, holding his Longsword, stood quietly in the square, watching the Tis City tiger who had fallen to the ground.
Originally, he could have taken the opportunity to rush over and use the Fingertip Flower, or Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Divine Skill, or the Sword Qi of Heavenly Sword Swordsmanship to directly defeat or even kill him, but Zhao Benling had been honorable and did not resort to any dirty tricks against Yang Xiao, so Yang Xiao did not wish to excessively trouble him.
After being harshly struck by Yang Xiao’s Sweeping Void, Zhao Benling’s Beast Soul not only lost two teeth but also had two ribs broken, with his internal organs intensely shaken.
Barely catching his breath, fearing that Yang Xiao would seize the opportunity to kill him, he quickly reverted to his human form, raised a hand, and repeatedly said:
"I admit defeat, I admit defeat, I admit defeat."
He coughed violently again, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Yang Xiao walked over, took out three Small Blood Pills, and handed them to Zhao Benling, who unhesitatingly placed them in his mouth.
After swallowing the Small Blood Pills, a warm flow meandered through his body, gradually allowing him to catch his breath, reconnecting his broken ribs, and slowly healing his internal injuries, bringing a slight flush back to his pale face.
Yang Xiao extended his hand to help Zhao Benling up, saying:
"I’m sorry, I didn’t control my strength properly for a moment, are you alright?"
Zhao Benling thought to himself, damn, luckily you didn’t control it well, if you had, wouldn’t I be even more dead?
He quickly said:
"Thank you for showing mercy, Yang brother. Zhao admires and is truly convinced of his defeat!"
For the first time, Long Wei, Long Yu, and a dozen other men in black on the podium witnessed Yang Xiao’s Soul Skill. The moment Sweeping Void was executed, they were stunned.
Such a powerful Soul Skill was something they had never seen on Earth before.
Long Wei and others stared blankly at Yang Xiao, only returning to their senses when Yang Xiao helped Zhao Benling up, their expressions very grave.
As for Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and others, their feelings were quite complex. They really did not expect Yang Xiao would indeed have the ability to contend with King Level Evolvers.
Du Tianxing suddenly felt immense regret, thinking if he hadn’t been so arrogant and dismissive of Yang Xiao, and instead maintained a good friendship with him, then Yang Xiao would be his powerful ally now. With Yang Xiao’s help, wouldn’t it be possible to unify the southern region of Xuanming Country?
What a misstep!
Du Tianxing truly wanted to slap himself.
Gu Beifeng naturally felt the same.
In this world, the strong envy the strong, but the strong also only respect the strong.
The King of Qingyun City, Li Jiachen, felt his throat dry, coughed a few times, swallowed, and suddenly realized, he had truly been foolish, underestimating Yang Xiao far too much.
"Damn it, it’s unscientific. He hasn’t reached King Level, how can he possess such powerful Combat Power?"
(Four more completed, goodnight!)
