A Demon's Path

C505

The boy's hand that was holding the crystal card was still above the betting platform, trembling non-stop as he stared at the number that appeared above the arena.

The numbers represented the odds of the fight between Ling Xiao and the Demon Soul Master known as the Soul Seeker. They were constantly changing.

No, to be exact, the number on the Soul Seeker's side had never changed. It was always the same number, while the number on Ling Xiao's side was constantly soaring. It did not stop until the number stopped at "1000".

One to one thousand odds.

It seemed like no one was really optimistic about Ling Xiao. Nearly everyone was willing to bet 100 crystals to earn 100 crystals, and no one was willing to take the risk of losing 100 crystals to earn 100,000 crystals.

In their eyes, if Ling Xiao won, she would definitely lose. To be able to earn 100 crystals back would be 100 crystals. There was no point in fighting over that illusory hundred thousand crystals.

"Is there anyone else who isn't betting?" The referee was a gentle middle-aged man who appeared to be very courteous, but everyone knew that there was not a single person on the martial arts stage who was a good person. The referee had merely buried his ruthlessness beneath the surface of his gentleness.

The youth clenched his teeth and stared straight at Ling Xiao. He spat fiercely, "Forget it, let's gamble."

Shua! The youth quickly wiped out his remaining 200,000 crystals on the betting platform. This time, he bet on Ling Xiao's victory.

"Alright, it's time for the bet. Today's Yellow Rank Dou Technique Competition will officially begin." With a gentle shout from the referee, his figure immediately disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

Li Yuanchong's heart trembled slightly. It seemed that this referee's cultivation wasn't weak either. A person with this cultivation could only be a judge in the battle arena. It could be seen how powerful the backstage boss of the battle arena was.

Facing a face that was both young and unfamiliar, the Soul Seeker's eyes instinctively narrowed. He did not look down on Ling Xiao because he knew that any underestimation of the enemy could lead to his own death.

The Soul Seeker had earned crystals in many of the battle arenas within the Demonic Soul Master's territory. This trip to the Purple Mo City's battle arena was his last stop to earn crystals, and today was also his last competition.

As long as he could earn enough crystals, he would be able to go to that Demoness' cave and propose marriage to her.

Therefore, this made the Soul Snatcher more cautious, not allowing him to show even the slightest bit of carelessness.

However, when his opponent saw him, they couldn't help but rush over and want to kill him a few times. Why was that young man standing there without moving? He was even smiling at him. Could it be that he was that confident?

Under Ling Xiao's gaze, the Soul Seeker's mind suddenly tensed up. Cold sweat broke out on its forehead as it did not dare to act rashly.

The people in the stands couldn't help but hiss when they saw these two stand there and not move their hands. "Hurry up and fight, hurry up and fight."

"Soul Snatcher, where is your bravery?"

"Kill him, Soul Snatcher."

Most of the people on the stage were betting on the Soul Seizing Hand victors, so the support voices coming from everywhere made the young man even more nervous.

Li Yuanchong said in an indifferent tone, "It looks like he's right. Children really can't gamble. They can't afford to lose."

The youth glared viciously at Li Yuanchong and no longer said a word. He continued to cast his gaze at the duo as he prayed in his heart that Ling Xiao would win.

In the end, the deadlock between the two was broken by the Soul Seeker itself. He was no longer able to hold back his indescribable nervousness. With a roar, his fists danced rapidly as he smashed at Ling Xiao with his yellow soul power.

Since she was here to cultivate, Ling Xiao obviously would not use his cheating tools. Instead, she would use her own strength to fight.

Facing the attack of the Soul Seizing Hand, Ling Xiao also used the close-combat technique of the Clear Sky Sect to engage the Soul Seizing Hand.

Those with discerning eyes immediately recognized Ling Xiao's fist technique. They could not help but roll their eyes. Where did this freak come from? A Demon Soul Master was actually able to use a fist technique from a Soul Grandmaster?

One had to know that the most direct consequence of forcefully cultivating a skill that did not match the Fiendgod attribute was self-detonation.

And this guy actually used the Clear Sky Sect's fist technique. He didn't show any signs of going off fire. He really was a monster.

However, they did not continue to pester Ling Xiao as to whether he was a monster or not. The battle atmosphere that had already lit up had already attracted all their attention.

"Bang, bang, bang …" As their fists clashed, yellow soul power rippled and ripples spread out from the point of impact. Dust flew into the air as the fists collided.

The battle between Ling Xiao and the Soul Seizing Hand was different from the secular novels. It was impossible for two people of the same level to use their ultimate moves the moment they attacked.

Using your trump card before trying to figure out your opponent's background was definitely a suicidal move.

Both of them were using the most basic fist techniques to test the depth of the opponent's strength. They knew that even if they were in the Yellow Rank, there were many different types. The difference in strength was like heaven and earth.

After a few minutes of fighting between the two of them, Ling Xiao was able to easily figure out their fighting strength: a Yellow Rank Demon Soul Master who simultaneously cultivates the fourth level of the Body Tempering stage.

As for the Soul Stealing Hand, Ling Xiao had constantly been pondering over Ling Xiao's level. This was because every time he increased the strength of his punch, her strength would increase accordingly. When he used the strongest state without any special techniques, her strength would be maintained at this level.

That was to say, the enemy was still holding back his strength.

"It seems that I have to use a special skill." A vicious glint flashed in the Soul Seeker's eyes. Just as Ling Xiao's punch was about to land on him, his body suddenly split into two and he attacked Ling Xiao from both sides.

"Just this low level skill?" Ling Xiao could not help but feel somewhat disappointed. Using his Heaven's Eye Technique, she saw that there was nowhere for the real body of the Soul Seizing Hand to hide.

Pah, Ling Xiao extended two fingers and precisely caught the wrist of the figure that was attacking from the right. Instantly, the two phantoms merged into one and turned into the real body of the Soul Seizing Hand.

The moment the special technique was casted, she was immediately stunned. She hurriedly stomped on the ground and a fissure extended along the front of his foot, forcing Ling Xiao to release his wrist and hide somewhere else.

Seven minutes later, the two of them had reached a draw.

Even though it was a temporary draw, all the sharp-eyed people understood that in this match, if the Soul Seeker did not use his strongest ultimate skill, the "Soul Seeker", he would most likely lose.

Of course, the others could see that there was no reason for the Soul Seizing Hand to not be able to see it, but he was unwilling to use his killing move just like that.

Although the lethality of that move was great, this strange skill had a fatal flaw. Within the range of one rank, it could only be used ten times at most.

In the previous battle, he had already used it nine times.

This was his life saving skill. If he used it this time, even if he earned crystal stones, it would be hard to guarantee that the moment he left the arena, he would immediately be killed and robbed.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he definitely wouldn't waste the last chance to use the Soul Snatcher.

"I don't believe that a young boy like you is really so strong that I can't deal with him." Once again, the Soul Seizing Hand expressed its confidence as it charged towards Ling Xiao.

"Primordius Thunderbolt Hand." The Soul Stealing Hand thought to itself. Just as it was about to exchange blows with Ling Xiao, a hidden force of the Five Elements Lightning Force was exerted onto it.

When his fists were struck out, lightning wrapped around them faintly as they smashed towards Ling Xiao's chest.

The move was simple, but the skill was overbearing.

Boom! Ling Xiao's Soul Stealing Hand struck out and instantly, countless currents of electricity swarmed through Ling Xiao's body, causing all of the hair on her body to stand on end.

"Damn." Ling Xiao gave a violent jump and quickly retreated a few steps back. Her hands trembled violently as she flung away the electric current.

However, just as he dodged, the Soul Seizing Hand attacked once again. This time, he raised his iron-pillar like foot and smashed it towards Ling Xiao's head.

"Wind Blade Kick." This kick contained the five types of wind force. This time, Ling Xiao did not fall for it. Instead, she used her hand to receive it and used her movement technique to dodge it.

If he blocked the opponent's foot with a punch, the wind blades emitted from the opponent's feet would definitely continue to hack towards his head.

Being hit by the fastest wind power in such a short distance was not as simple as just breaking a layer of skin.

"Alright, let's fight like this." Seeing that his attacks were effective, Soul Snatcher was overjoyed. Although these attacks consumed soul power, they were enough to make Ling Xiao suffer losses. Victory was only a matter of time.

Ling Xiao naturally understood that now was not the time to clash head-on with the Soul Stealing Hand. She continued to jump left and right like a monkey.

Those who were optimistic about Ling Xiao previously could not help but shake their heads when they saw how Ling Xiao had nearly been hit by the Soul Stealing Hand's attacks. Could it be that they had misjudged her?

The teenager was even more nervous. He clenched his fists tightly, and his palms were dug in by his nails.

The person who was the calmest on the stage was naturally Li Yuanchong. How could he not know that Ling Xiao's method was only to deplete his opponent's soul power?

Chu Lianyue was also looking at Ling Xiao. Her beautiful eyes were occasionally filled with hatred, and occasionally with confusion. Probably, aside from her, no one else knew what she was thinking about.

"Dammit, don't run if you dare." There were several times when it looked like it was about to hit him, but at the last moment, it was dodged by Ling Xiao. The Soul Snatcher finally knew that the other party was teasing him on purpose.

"Haha, if you have the guts, don't chase after me." As Ling Xiao fled, she used her words to provoke the Soul Seizing Hand.

After being played by Ling Xiao, he was helpless. Finally, the Soul Seizing Hand bellowed, "Watch this! Tai Shan is suppressing us!"

Following that, Ling Xiao immediately felt a shadow appear in the sky behind her. With a heavy whistling sound, it rapidly pressed down on her.

(Nirvana Qi: Taishan, a very high mountain on the Xuan Tian Continent, hehe.)
