“Drench Nine Suns Peak in a bloodbath? What a bold thing to say!”

At that moment, the main doors of the imperial place pushed opened and three youths walked out. They were wearing white robes that had three golden swords embroidered on their sleeves with gold thread. Not only did all of them carry themselves in a dignified manner, but they were tall and handsome as well.

The youth on the left had a long sword on his back. With a piercing gaze, a fierce life force radiated throughout his entire body. It was impressive because his cultivation had already reached the sixth tier Spiritualization Boundary!

Meanwhile, the youth on the right looked extremely burly with the taut muscles on his entire body. His vital energy and blood were unimaginably strong as well since he was a third tier Spiritualization Boundary master!

However, Ling Xiao merely glanced past those two youths before his gaze landed on the young man in the middle.

He had a handsome face and a slender body, but his lips were extremely thin. The young man smirked arrogantly while a cold gaze that resembled that of a venomous snake radiated in all directions.

The most crucial part was that his cultivation had impressively reached the ninth tier Spiritualization Boundary. He only needed to advance slightly before his Yin and Yang would intertwine, and his dragon and tiger would converge to achieve the Dragon Tiger Boundary!

Lin Haoyu!

A light flashed in Ling Xiao’s eyes when he recognized the other person.

“Little brat, didn’t you notice that I was talking to you? You merely have a third tier True Qi Boundary and your cultivation makes you seem like nothing but an ant, yet you dare to call yourself a Saint?”

The burly youth on the right spoke. Upon noticing that Ling Xiao was completely ignoring him, his gaze instantly became colder.

“Senior Brother Zuo, this little brat’s cultivation isn’t worth mentioning at all, but he did manage to activate the Sect Protection Formation. Be careful not to fall for his tricks!” Ling Kun whispered as he ran in front of Zuo Zhen and tried to curry favor with him.

“Sect Protection Formation? Haha, are you talking about this little brat? Hurry up and move aside, I’m going to teach him how to respect his senior brothers today!”

Zuo Zhen clearly did not believe him. Many people said that Ling Xiao could activate the Sect Protection Formation, but Zuo Zhen had yet to see it with his own eyes. He merely assumed that Ling Xiao had only managed to defeat that scumbag Deng Yalin by using a certain treasure.

“What are you doing? If you don’t want to die, you should get lost!” Ling Xiao coldly sneered as he frowned faintly and glanced at Zuo Zhen.

His gaze immediately fell on Lin Haoyu before he scoffed, “If you hand Xue Wei over, I won’t kill you today!”

“Kill me?”

Lin Haoyu was shocked, but as though he heard a hilarious joke, he then burst out laughing.

“Ling Xiao, I have no idea how an ant-like person like you have managed to find favor with Nangong Xuan and receive the rank of a Saint! But if you want Xue Wei, you’ll have to give up your position as the Saint. After that, you must kneel before me and beg for mercy. Perhaps I’ll spare her life if you do that. Otherwise, I’m probably going to have a taste of that girl first!”

Lin Haoyu arrogantly laughed without showing even the slightest bit of respect for Ling Xiao.

“You’re playing with fire!”

Ling Xiao did not lose his temper, but the cold glimmer in his gaze was becoming brighter.

“Little brat, don’t waste your breath. If you want Senior Brother Lin to let her go, you’ll have to get through me first!”

Zuo Zhen had been furious for a while now because Ling Xiao kept ignoring him. So, not able to withstand it anymore, he took this moment to leap forward. He emitted the powerful True Qi that surrounded his entire body before it traveled toward Ling Xiao in a repressive manner.

“He’s right! If you want me to release Xue Wei, you should defeat Zuo Zhen first. We’ll discuss this later!”

Although Lin Haoyu was wildly arrogant, he was rather fond of scheming as well. Since Zuo Zhen happened to come forward, Lin Haoyu was prepared to let Zuo Zhen test Ling Xiao’s full potential first.

“Little brat, why don’t you have a taste of my Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch!”

Zuo Zhen grinned viciously as he rushed forward. He did not even give Ling Xiao a chance to react before his punch came crashing over.

Roar!

A noise that sounded like a tiger’s roar echoed through the mountainous forest and the punch was wrapped in the king of the beasts’ arrogant air. It seemed as if an illusion of a fierce tiger had vaguely formed behind Zuo Zhen and it looked rather intimidating.

“Is that really the Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch? It’s an Onyx level peerless martial arts that is more impressive than the Lesser Titanium Punch. It seems like the Saint might lose soon!”

“Hmph, he’s not a Saint! He’s only at third tier True Qi Boundary, and there’s one whole Boundary between him and Senior Brother Zuo. He was only allowed to act so arrogantly for such a long time because the legacy senior brothers were not around. If he doesn’t die this time, he will be severely injured at least!”

“You’re right. Senior Brother Zuo is too powerful!”

All of the disciples started to yell enthusiastically while the sounds of their snarky insults echoed beside Ling Xiao’s ears.

In spite of everything, Ling Xiao’s expression remained unchanged and he looked extremely calm. He only attacked when Zuo Zhen’s unbelievably powerful punch nearly struck him.

Roar!

As if the Tiger King was prowling through the mountains and overlooking its entire territory, an earth-shattering roar rang out. Ling Xiao’s explosive punch made the crowd felt as though the Tiger King was pouncing onto Zuo Zhen.

If Zuo Zhen was likened to a fierce tiger, then Ling Xiao would be the king that ruled over all the tigers. Ling Xiao carried an arrogant air as though he looked down on the whole world.

Boom!

Their two punches collided, but Ling Xiao’s figure did not move at all. However, Zuo Zhen’s arm became numb before a powerful force immediately sent him flying backward.

“How could this happen?”

Zuo Zhen suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood while his gaze was filled with disbelief.

He could not believe Ling Xiao’s attainment of the Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch and the fact that he possessed such frightening and incomparable physical force.

The Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch was a martial arts that the sect had bestowed upon him when he was promoted as a legacy disciple one year ago. More so, this move was only inferior to the legendary Seven Stars to Moon Sword.

Since he had the Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch, he was confident that he could even defeat those who were one or two Boundaries higher than him.

The Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch only consisted of three moves which were the Tiger Punch, Dragon Punch, and Dragon Tiger Sky Shattering!

However, Ling Xiao’s Tiger Punch contained a faint life force that somewhat scared him as well. It was as though he was facing an actual Tiger King.

“Is this… A punch’s purposeful conception?” the youth with a sword on his back exclaimed in shock, as though he had thought of something. His entire body briefly trembled as he stood on the left side of Lin Haoyu.

“What? A punch’s purposeful conception? That’s impossible!”

A stunned look shrouded Lin Haoyu’s face. A trace of sternness appeared in his eyes before his gaze turned darker as he looked at Ling Xiao.

While Lin Haoyu was still pondering about his enemy’s previous punch, it seemed like Ling Xiao had truly turned into the king of the tigers by oppressing others with the heaven and earth’s force. Only those who had grasped a punch’s purposeful conception could unleash such a terrifying attack.

Grasping the purposeful conception of heaven and earth’s force was unique to masters at the Grandmaster Boundary. Furthermore, every master at the Grandmaster Boundary had their own distinctive martial arts purposeful conception.

Anyone who could grasp this purposeful conception before they reached the Grandmaster Boundary was clearly a genius. Since this had never happened by accident, anyone who managed to achieve this would definitely advance to the Grandmaster Boundary!

Yet Ling Xiao had managed to grasp the purposeful conception despite being at True Qi Boundary. This meant that his innate talents were simply terrifying!

“We definitely cannot let this little brat remain here!”

A murderous look flashed faintly in Lin Haoyu’s eyes.

“I don’t believe that your Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch is stronger than mine! Go to hell!”

A mad look appeared in Zuo Zhen’s gaze after Ling Xiao sent him flying. The limitless True Qi that surrounded his entire body began to bulge as though it possessed a spiritual nature. After that, thick misty clouds formed around his whole body and turned into a dragon-shaped illusion.

Roar!

A loud and sonorous dragon’s roar rang out before his Dragon Punch came crashing toward Ling Xiao!

“That’s not how you’re supposed to use the Dragon Tiger Sky-Shattering Punch!” Ling Xiao quietly sighed, but his gaze had grown sharper.

They could only see a bright gold light that illuminated the True Qi around his entire body. Then, with his left fist resembling a tiger and his right fist resembling a dragon, two strange noises pierced through the void.
