BOOM!
All of a sudden, Jian Xiong unleashed a fist strike that sent four or five people flying out of the ring.
"Hmm?"
Jian Tianying's gaze suddenly came to rest on Ling Xiao.
"He's not eliminated?"
He had assumed that Ling Xiao would be knocked out of the ring as soon as the fight began.
Who could have guessed that he would be safe and sound?
Just as Jian Xiong noticed Ling Xiao, he also noticed Ling Xiao.
Chuckling, he casually sent a second Lifeseizer flying, then walked over to Ling Xiao and said, "You're pretty good, kid. I can't believe you were able to dodge my palm wind.
However, to suppress a devil-dragon puppet, you have to rely on strength, not movement techniques. You can't just rely on fleeing.
So, be a good boy and get out of here. "
Even as the words left his mouth, Jian Xiong's true energy surged, and a terrifying aura shot toward Ling Xiao with the force of a thunderbolt.
Both of his fists were filled with the energy of explosive lightning.
"Triple Explosive Lightning Fist!"
Shockingly, the Explosive Lightning Fist of a third Lifeseizer contained three levels of internal energy, each level stronger than the last.
In that moment, Ling Xiao felt as if he were being struck by three levels of demon-lightning tribulation.
When this Thunderstorm Fist was used, many of the surrounding martial artists suffered. At least seven or eight of them were touched by the fist force and flew out without any suspense.
By now, the only person left on the field was Ling Xiao, a second division Lifeseizer. The others were all third division Lifeseizers.
In response to Jian Xiong's attack, Ling Xiao calmly raised his right hand.
Although Jian Xiong's fist strike was fierce, it was clear that he had been holding back. He had only intended to send Yang Qi flying, not injure him.
Therefore, Yang Qi wasn't going to hurt him.
Besides, he had a favor to ask of the devil suppressors, so he wasn't going to use his sword just yet.
It was as if a thunderstorm had suddenly stopped.
Jian Xiong's fists were easily caught by Ling Xiao, and even the explosive lightning was extinguished.
Ling Xiao hadn't used any martial techniques, and had only used ordinary attacks.
As far as he was concerned, third division Lifeseizers weren't even worth mentioning.
"What?!"
Jian Xiong was shocked. He wanted to break free from his fists, but it was to no avail.
Ling Xiao smiled and pushed Jian Xiong aside. "Thank you for letting me win."
Jian Xiong was not the kind of person who did not know what was good for him. He had mocked Ling Xiao at the beginning purely because he felt that Ling Xiao was not strong enough and was wasting their time.
But now, he definitely didn't dare to think that way.
The middle-level General Realm martial art, the Violent Thunder Fist, was blocked so easily by the other party. It was like a dream.
Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment.
Jian Tianying murmured to himself. "Third division Lifeseizer Jian Xiong is said to be the most destructive of all the devil suppressors. I can't believe he was subdued so easily."
"He's too powerful. I didn't expect that after two hundred years, such a monster would still appear."
Jian Bai also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In the beginning, he had also underestimated Ling Xiao.
In the following selection, no one went to find trouble with Ling Xiao.
In the end, there were only six contestants left.
"Alright, six it is," Jian Tianying said. "There's no need to continue."
The reason Jian Tianying had picked five was because he had never guessed that Ling Xiao, an outsider, would be joining them. Furthermore, he had never guessed that Ling Xiao would be this strong.
"Let's go. There's no time to lose."
Jian Tianying was anxious because he could sense that the devil-dragon puppet was on the verge of awakening. There was no time to waste.
Under Jian Tianying's lead, the seven of them headed towards the ninth level.
Along the way, they encountered many dangers, including several waves of demonlings.
The first wave was six Bloodthirsty Grasshoppers, all of whom were in the first division of Lifeseizing.
The second wave was ten Blackwater Vipers, all of whom were in the first division of Lifeseizing.
The third wave was comprised of nine Swordback Bears, all of whom were in the third division of Lifeseizing.
The fourth wave was even more terrifying. Although there was only one demonling, it was a fourth division Lifeseizing swordback bear king.
By the fifth wave, there were two fourth division Lifeseizers. Although they were only as strong as Eunuch Gao in terms of fighting prowess, they were still quite a headache to deal with.
Thankfully, the seven of them were all top experts, and the first three waves were easily dealt with.
Ling Xiao didn't even have a chance to make a move.
By the fourth wave, Ling Xiao was finally able to show off his terrifying fighting prowess.
In order to save time, he didn't hold back at all. After transforming, he destroyed the fourth division Lifeseizer demonling, which was as strong as Eunuch Gao.
The other six contestants were completely speechless.
'Freak' was the name they used to refer to Ling Xiao, so much so that they didn't even mention Ling Xiao's real name.
By the fifth wave, Ling Xiao was even more monstrous than a freak in terms of fighting prowess.
Using two swords at the same time, he destroyed two fourth division Lifeseizing demonlings. It was simply too awesome.
Before, some of them had doubted Ling Xiao's fighting prowess.
But after these two battles, Ling Xiao's reputation as a leader grew.
The other six didn't dare to disobey his orders.
Even Jian Tianying had gradually retreated to the second line, with Ling Xiao as the core.
Without Ling Xiao, they would never have been able to reach the ninth floor.
But now, the door to the ninth floor was open for them.
As soon as Ling Xiao entered the ninth floor, he caught sight of Jian Sakura, floating there in midair.
Jian Luoying's four limbs were bound by black threads.
Her blood and energy flowed through the threads into the devil-dragon puppet.
By this point, Jian Sakura was extremely weak.
"You bastard!"
Ling Xiao said coldly. Sword light flickered in his hand, and the four black threads were severed. At the same time, Jian Sakura flew into his arms.
However, even as he wrapped his arms around her, four black-garbed figures suddenly appeared from four different directions.
All of the black-garbed men were at the peak of the third division of Lifeseizing.
And they had chosen the perfect moment to attack.
It was the exact moment when Ling Xiao caught Jian Sakura, making it seem as if he couldn't attack.
"Die!"
The four of them simultaneously thrust out with their palms, sending a blast of black wind toward Ling Xiao.
WHOOSH!
What they didn't expect was that Ling Xiao's figure would just disappear without a trace.
He was completely out of their range of attack.
Ling Xiao knelt down and popped a Healing Pill into Jian Sakura's mouth, then put her back into his beast ring.
Slowly, he rose to his feet.
Now that he had saved Jian Sakura, the next step was to destroy the devil-dragon puppet.
"Who are these black-garbed figures?"
Ling Xiao asked Jian Tianying.
"I'm not sure. I've never heard of them on the ninth floor before."
Jian Tianying shook his head.
"Could they be martial artists from the myriad kingdoms?"
Ling Xiao thought. Perhaps these black-garbed figures were the martial artists from the myriad kingdoms who had been sent here to protect the soul of the devil-dragon.
They had been sent here by Dragon Mother.
There was even a possibility that Lan Meimei had already joined Totto Land's Dragon Mother and became Dragon Mother's puppet to rule the Sword Dynasty.
"And here I thought she was ambitious," Jian Tianying said. "Turns out she's just a puppet. How laughable."
