Chapter 472: Xian Er’s Conviction, Terrifying Ninth Killing Sword!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yusei Yanagi was considered tall among the hundred Japanese ninjas. However, the Fire Talismans made him shorter by a huge chunk!

Many bones that were supporting the body, including the cervical vertebra, backbone, waist, two ribs, as well as his groin, were all blown into pieces. Even some of his muscles were blasted to god knows where!

Being covered with cuts and bruises was no longer the right description for Yusei Yanagi’s current state. He was literally filled with holes and severely charred.

There were no longer any white bones because all the white bones that were revealed were burnt into ashes.

However, with his soaring grievance and anger, Yusei Yanagi actually survived. His face was covered in blood as he pointed at Ling Yun, who had escaped far away from him. He was trying his best to say something, but his throat had been blown up, so nothing came out!

Yusei Yanagi’s devastating and pitiful look made Tokugawa Takeo shiver in fear. Because of the frightening explosion, he had jumped out of the way too.

Ling Yun was standing far away and didn’t look too pleased. He couldn’t believe Yusei Yanagi didn’t die from the explosion! It was true that they were enemies and that they hated each other, but there was no need to torture him to death.

Ling Yun sighed in his heart and flicked his left hand to send a steel needle through Yusei Yanagi’s forehead. Ling Yun wanted to give him a quick death.

The Yusei Family was really unlucky. Back in Shennongjia, Yusei Saburo was also burnt to death by Ling Yun’s Fire Talismans. Now, Yusei Yanagi was blown into pieces because of his Fire Talismans. It seemed like their luck with fire this year wasn’t good.

“F*ck!” When Tokugawa Takeo saw that his entire army was wiped out, he went berserk!

Tokugawa Takeo held onto his blade tightly with both hands, and the expression on his face was fierce and twisted. The veins on his hands were protruding as he stomped his foot on the ground and charged wildly at Ling Yun!

“Boom boom...”

“Kacha!” Yet another bolt of silver lightning as thick as a bucket pierced through the clouds and struck Bai Xianer’s body!

“The thirty-sixth Dao!” Ling Yun’s heart sunk, and he couldn’t be bothered with the incoming Tokugawa Takeo. He turned his head towards Little White, extremely anxious for her!

Even though Ling Yun was fighting with his life on the line, he had been paying close attention to the number of lightning bolts that fell on Little White!

The legendary thirty-six heavenly spirits... Now that the thirty-sixth lightning strike was over, Ling Yun’s prediction was that the second wave of lightning tribulation should be over too. He wanted to take a look and see if Little White was okay.

Ling Yun was right in front of Tokugawa Takeo, and they were about a hundred meters away from the little valley!

Very quickly, Ling Yun arrived at the top of the little valley and stood on a massive rock. He tiptoed to maximize his vision to look over at Little White.

He was over fifty meters away from Little White. Given Ling Yun’s current vision and his Yin-Yang Eye, it was no different from being directly opposite Little White.

One look at Little White and Ling Yun’s eye sockets almost cracked!

Even though Yusei Yanagi exploded into pieces, scattered and smashed, he was nothing compared to Little White’s current state!

Thirty-six thick lightning bolts fell on Little White one after another without giving her any time to heal or react. Just like that, Little White was struck and injured so badly that she didn’t even look like a fox anymore!

Even if Little White used the Lightning Trap Talismans, protected herself with Gold Talismans and Defense Talismans, and constantly used Healing Talismans to heal herself, she wouldn’t be able to withstand so many thick lightning bolts!

Little White was merely left with the skeleton of a fox, burnt black from head to toe. All her skin and flesh seemed to have been destroyed by the lightning bolts, and she laid on the ground helplessly. Nobody knew if Little White was still alive or not.

“Xian Er!” Ling Yun’s eyes turned red as he turned to look at the tribulation clouds. He realized that the tribulation clouds were still gathering energy, and he was instantly infuriated!

“F*ck the heavens! This is merely a friendly monster who wants to transform, must you inflict such ridiculous punishments?”

Ling Yun lifted his head, executed his Mystical Dragon Howl, and scolded the dark tribulation clouds!

However, Ling Yun also felt slightly relieved. The fact that the tribulation clouds were still around meant that Little White was still alive. If she were dead, the tribulation clouds would vanish instantly.

“Wuuu...” A cold breeze could be felt from behind his head!

Ling Yun’s Devil’s Blade had already appeared in his left hand a long time ago. Without much thought, he executed Reversal Hurricane Wave towards the incoming Tokugawa Takeo behind him!

This was the first time the two top tier experts clashed head-on! Neither was showing any mercy to the other!

The clash of the two blades and the Qi they contained resulted in a strong wind of True Qi. This strong wind was so powerful that the rocks all around them were blown away!

“Dang dang dang dang...”

After the first clash of the blades, the two blades continued slashing against each other on multiple occasions.

“Pfft...” Ling Yun spat out yet another mouthful of blood!

Tokugawa Takeo wasn’t feeling any better. He couldn’t understand how the Chinese youth in front of him had such tremendous strength!

Ling Yun’s brute force alone was enough to force Tokugawa Takeo to execute all his moves to their maximum potential. Otherwise, he would definitely be sent flying!

Ling Yun’s brute strength was enough to counter all tactics!

The Stellar Condensation Technique provided him with an incredible defense such that ordinary blades wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

Similarly, the combination of the Stellar Condensation Technique and the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Six gave him unprecedented strength. Just his brute force was enough to go head to head against a Xiantian Realm Level Three expert!

In combination with his teleportation-like movement speed and two incredible blades, he was able to gain an advantage whether he was fighting one against one or one against many!

Both of Tokugawa Takeo’s arms were numb from the impact, and he almost lost grip of his blade. He was exceedingly appalled at how Ling Yun only used one hand to counter his strength from behind!

Ling Yun stored his Devil’s Blade calmly and took out his Dragon Vein Sword. After the shocking vibration earlier, the Devil’s Blade was considered heavy to Ling Yun now!

He was incredibly weak at the moment!

Ling Yun raised his hand to wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth. He was inwardly rejoicing at the fact that Tokugawa Takeo was the only one left. Regardless of Xian Er’s current condition, he could obstruct Tokugawa Takeo and protect Little White from any external damage. He wanted Little White to complete her tribulation with all her might.

Ling Yun continued to execute his Mystical Dragon Howl towards Little White, saying, “Xian Er, if you want to cultivate with me or fight beside me in the future, you better stand up now. Use all your strength and capabilities to withstand the third wave of tribulation!”

Bai Xianer’s crawling body within the Eight Trigrams Formation suddenly jerked as she turned her head forcefully to look at Ling Yun’s towering back.

It was true that Bai Xianer was left with only one last gasp of breath, but she was still an incredibly rare nine-tailed celestial fox. In addition to that, her cultivation technique and the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Central Nine Stars ensured that she wasn’t going to die so easily!

In her current state, she was in imminent danger and was incomparably miserable. However, only she was aware that her body was currently going through an unusual, never before seen, extraordinary transformation!

This wasn’t an ordinary transformation, it was a transformation from body composition to ideology. Bai Xianer knew that once this transformation was complete, she would emerge a real human!

The transformation was naturally not going to be simple, but Bai Xianer could sense that her strength was soaring rapidly!

Back at Shennongjia, Little White couldn’t even handle the swing of a blade. Back then, she was merely at Houtian Realm Level Nine.

After returning from Shennongjia, and after many days of cultivation on Turtle Island, Little White had already advanced to the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Two. Otherwise, she would never be able to withstand such a frightening tribulation!

After the end of the very first wave of tribulation, Little White knew that her demonic cultivation was on an incredible rise!

The items that Ling Yun gave her and the fact that she managed to charge into the center of the Eight Trigrams Formation resulted in her being able to withstand the thirty-six immense lightning bolts!

With her strength constantly on the rise, Bai Xianer had no idea what realm she was currently at. However, she knew that she was at least three times stronger than before she underwent the tribulation!

However, she suffered severe injuries, her flesh and skin almost non-existent. She had no idea what was going on in her body, but even though the process was torturous, there was an indescribable beauty to it.

Not moving didn’t mean she wasn’t capable of moving!

When Bai Xianer heard Ling Yun’s voice, she turned her head to see how hard Ling Yun was fighting to protect her from the enemy. Following that, she turned to look at the tribulation clouds above her!

There was incredibly strong determination in her eyes, the conviction in her heart greater than ever. She used all the energy in her body to stand up and lift her neck to look at the sky!

Bai Xianer let out a unique voice that almost sounded like a fox’s cry and a woman’s scream. She displayed her unyielding resolve as well as the anger in her.

I want to cultivate with my master, and I want to fight alongside him, so I have to complete my tribulation!

This was the conviction in Little White’s heart!

Bai Xianer opened her mouth to shoot out a flaming red stream of air. This stream of air surrounded her severely injured body, and the flaming red started dancing around her like a wild flame!

This was the nine-tailed celestial fox’s life fire. As long as the flame didn’t extinguish, the nine-tailed celestial fox wouldn’t die. She was determined to use her own life fire to go against the third and final wave of heavenly tribulation!

Tokugawa Takeo initially thought that Little White was dead. When he saw that the beaten-down Little White actually stood up once more, he found it unbelievable. He grunted and darted straight towards the little valley!

Ling Yun was naturally not going to let that happen. He grunted coldly and forced his weakened body to fly towards Tokugawa Takeo!

“Swift Thunder Strike!”

“Shadowless Strike!”

“Ravaging Heart Strike!”

“Broken Soul Strike!”

“Sky Slicer!”

“Heaven Startling Strike!”

“Regretless Strike!”

“Heavenly Dao Strike!”

“Destructing God Strike!”

“Ultimate Kill!”

Even though it was called the Ninth Killing Technique, there were ten different strikes. This was the first time Ling Yun fought without holding anything back. He was only focused on attacking as he went all out against Tokugawa Takeo!

After ten strikes, the two figures crossed each other!

Ling Yun suffered multiple wounds on his body, and his face was incredibly pale!

“Such... terrifying... sword... techniques!”

The scars and wounds on Tokugawa Takeo’s body were all over the place. He used the remaining half of his left hand to point at Ling Yun’s Dragon Vein Sword as he muttered to himself!

“Bam!”

Tokugawa Takeo turned to take one last glance at the Shennong Cauldron before falling down on the ground, dead!
