Chapter 2476: Chapter 2479: Tit for Tat—Seeking Justice for Heiye Wuxing

The Martial Skills of Dark Shadow Martial Arts are not techniques for any specific weapon.

They’re of a universal nature.

Any Martial Artist can use them according to their own style.

And then evolve them into moves most suited to themselves. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

For example, Ling Xiao is good at using the sword, so once he comprehends this move, it naturally manifests as a sword move.

The first move and the second move are Sword Chime Yinsan and Sword Split Huangquan respectively.

As the most top-level Jade High-Level Sword Technique, once these two moves are cultivated successfully, they will naturally be incomparably stronger than the two moves of Purple Qi Eastward Sword.

With Ling Xiao’s current Cultivation Level, if he cooperates with the Dark Immortal Sword and these two Martial Skills, even if he encounters a Martial Artist with First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Fourth Layer of Hell Intermediate Stage Cultivation, he can still fight on equal terms.

What’s more, he’s already about to break through.

Once he breaks through, then in the First Stage Four-Layer Hell Realm, he might well be called invincible.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly felt his future boundless, and his confidence soared.

Next, he began cultivating the first two sword techniques; even if he only reached Small Success, they would still be useful.

Another day passed, and Ling Xiao had cultivated Sword Chime Yinsan to a Proficient level, and Sword Split Huangquan to a Small Success level.

He tried using the Dark Immortal Sword and a Mortal Spirit Artifact weapon to perform these two moves, and the power displayed was vastly different.

It seemed that the stronger the weapon, the greater the enhancement it brought to the moves.

Fortunately, the Dark Immortal Sword had already acknowledged him as its master and could become another trump card of his.

Now, he had fully mastered the Dark Shadow Martial Arts, but this Shadow Black Gourd still could not be handed back; he still needed this thing to go to the Sha Clan Sea Area on the Fifth Level of Ghost Prison to meet Ling Yan.

Whether he could rescue Ling Yan or not was another matter.

He wouldn’t force it.

Anyway, Ling Yan had already been locked up there for a long time. Since the people of Eight Immortals Mountain hadn’t killed him, it showed that Ling Yan still had value to them.

If possible, he would naturally choose a time that was more certain and safer to save him.

"If I want more certainty, I must become stronger and continue cultivating!"

Although he was very anxious, Ling Xiao still calmed himself and continued cultivating steadily.

Anyway, he had twenty days to possess the Shadow Black Gourd; the Dark Clan would absolutely not discover that this thing had already recognized him as its master.

Of course, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to think that just because the Shadow Black Gourd had recognized him as master, he could become the Clan Leader of the Dark Clan.

If he were really that idiotic, he’d probably be close to death.

Only by mastering the Shadow Black Gourd and at the same time raising his strength to a level where others would not dare provoke him, would that be safety in the true sense.

Another eight days passed.

Exactly ten days.

Ling Xiao had already cultivated Sword Chime Yinsan to the Transcendental Realm.

Sword Split Huangquan had been cultivated to Great Perfection.

Not only that, during his battles with the Gemini Martial Spirit, his two moves of Purple Qi Eastward Sword had already been completely promoted to the Transcendental Realm.

From then on, although his Cultivation Level still hadn’t broken through, his combat strength had improved by a huge margin.

Adding the Dark Immortal Sword on top of that, he believed that even if he now faced a Martial Artist with First Stage Four-Layer Hell Late Stage Cultivation, he could still fight them.

"The time is about right. If I want to improve further, it’ll probably be quite slow. Next, it’s time to go see Ling Yan.

It’s been more than two months since we parted in Yuhua Town. I really don’t know what kind of torment Ling Yan has suffered at the hands of those bastards from Eight Immortals Mountain."

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and let out a sigh.

He put away the Dark Immortal Sword, then walked out the door.

Heiye Wuxing was sitting just outside the courtyard; at this moment, he looked extremely exhausted.

Moreover, there were actually terrifying wounds all over his body.

This was an extremely powerful Martial Artist, yet he was injured. Ling Xiao couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened these past few days.

"Boss, these last few days, there have been experts constantly coming to harass you, as if they don’t want you to focus on cultivating.

These experts are actually all Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Layer Hell powerhouses of the First Cycle; their strength is on par with Senior Wuxing.

They’ve come to attack repeatedly, and in rotating battles no less, making Senior Wuxing suffer quite a bit.

We watched, but couldn’t help at all. It was pure agony."

Lin Yang also came out from the room, pouring out his bitterness to Ling Xiao.

"What’s the use of telling him? What he needs now is cultivation, not to think about this messy crap."

Heiye Wuxing said helplessly, "Ling Xiao, don’t overthink it, they still can’t kill me."

"Who did it?"

Ling Xiao asked coldly.

He wanted to know who he should go after for revenge.

"Elder of the Sand Tribe, Elder of the Sword Clan, Young Sect Master Lin Yuetian!"

Heiye Wuxing looked at Ling Xiao and answered, "Now that you know, what can you do?"

"There should also be the Dark Clan Elder, why didn’t you mention him?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"That’s right, he’s involved too. But even so, you still can’t do anything."

Heiye Wuxing wanted to tell Ling Xiao that thinking about revenge now was meaningless. It would not only waste his energy, but in the end he might even lose his life.

But Ling Xiao instead revealed a ferocious, icy smile: "When they came to harass me, they should have understood how terrifying my retaliation would be.

Mountain Master, you’re right, I’m no match for those few.

But some of the geniuses of the Sha Clan, Sword Clan, and Dark Clan, I can still deal with."

The elders commit the mistakes, and the juniors pay the debt. That’s only natural.

He didn’t believe that if he wiped out enough geniuses, those elders would still dare to strike casually.

Looking at those terrifying wounds all over Heiye Wuxing’s body, Ling Xiao truly had the urge to kill.

"I’ll be right back!"

Before Heiye Wuxing could stop him, Ling Xiao had already vanished down the path.

Outside the Sha Clan’s courtyard, a figure quietly lay in ambush.

Silently waiting for the prey to arrive.

His figure almost merged completely with the surrounding environment, making it hard to detect any trace.

Very soon, a few inner clan disciples of the Sha Clan came out; they were heading outside to cultivate.

After all, in many places on Eight Immortals Mountain, the cultivation effect was much better than hiding in a courtyard.

These people all had decent Cultivation Levels and were genius Martial Artists that the Sha Clan was focused on nurturing.

Yet a gust of wind blew by.

These people only saw a black shadow flash past, then their heads fell to the ground.

Screams echoed through the Sha Clan’s main compound.

And that black shadow quietly vanished without stopping in the slightest.

Soon after, the same thing happened outside the Sword Clan and Dark Clan compounds.

In the end, even the place where the Sect Leader resided saw deaths and injuries.

The twenty-one Death Warriors that Lin Yuetian had carefully selected and trained were actually all killed, not a single one left.

All of this happened within half an hour.

For a time, the entire Eight Immortals Mountain was in a panic.

Ling Xiao had already quietly returned to his own courtyard.

Facing the enemy head-on, he still didn’t have that ability, but doing this kind of assassination was very easy for him.

The Sha Clan, Sword Clan, Dark Clan, and Young Sect Master Lin Yuetian all couldn’t guess who had done it. Although they had set their sights on Lingxiao Courtyard.

The assailant could also have been an external enemy, such as the Tianfeng Group.

After all, similar things had happened over the years.

Of course, Ling Xiao was the biggest suspect.

But they had no evidence whatsoever.

If they chose to attack without evidence, that would be provoking internal chaos within Eight Immortals Mountain.

So this dumb loss, they could only swallow in silence.
