Chapter 14398 Nine Netherworld Soul-Shaking Seal

Just as the white-robed man lost control and was unable to focus on anything else, two cold lights suddenly flashed.

Ling Xiao swept his Bloodthirsty Blade horizontally with his left hand and slashed straight down with the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in his right. His movements were as fast as lightning. The last two men in black, who were a hundred feet away, did not even see the trajectory of the attack before their heads flew off, and blood gushed out from their necks, forming two bloody fountains in the air.

They remained in their hand seals until their deaths, as if preparing to unleash some kind of secret technique. The astonishment and disbelief in their eyes were frozen into an eternal expression. Then, the two headless corpses crashed heavily into the sea of ​​clouds and were quickly swallowed by the churning waves.

The white-robed man finally managed to steady himself a thousand feet away. Just as he was about to circulate his inner energy to suppress the shock within his body, he witnessed this breathtaking scene. His already gloomy face instantly turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth as he uttered two words: "Ling Xiao."

But before he could utter those two words and make any further threats, Ling Xiao's figure vanished like a ghost, leaving only a faint afterimage.

"Can you let me finish what I have to say?!"

The man in white robes was on the verge of collapse, his voice distorted by extreme anger and frustration.

He had cultivated for a thousand years, traversing the Silent Realm, and had never encountered such an unconventional opponent—no dialogue, no probing, just a fierce, relentless attack that didn't even give him a chance to catch his breath or speak. This completely unorthodox fighting style made him feel uncomfortable all over, yet he was helpless.

However, before he could finish his complaint, the fatal attack had already begun!
"boom--!"

The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword, carrying the power to tear through space, slashed fiercely towards the white-robed man's left shoulder;
At the same time, the Bloodthirsty Blade, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, pierced straight into his lower abdomen.

The white-robed man hastily dodged to the side, but still couldn't completely evade. His left shoulder was grazed by the sword energy, and his lower abdomen was slashed by the blade energy. Two more deep, bone-revealing bloodstains instantly appeared on his moon-white robe.

This time, sword energy and saber energy invaded his body at the same time. A cold demonic energy and a scorching bloodthirsty power raged wildly in his meridians, making him feel as if his internal organs were being burned by raging fire and frozen by ice. The two extreme pains intertwined, making him groan involuntarily.

Ling Xiao pressed his advantage relentlessly, giving the white-robed man no chance to catch his breath. He launched attacks with both sword and saber simultaneously, his moves as dense as a torrential downpour.

The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword transformed into a dark purple lightning bolt in his hand, each strike carrying a world-destroying demonic power.
The Bloodthirsty Blade, like a black phantom, aimed every thrust at the white-robed man's vital points. The blood-red runes on the blade grew ever more vivid, and the bloodthirsty aura it emitted chilled the surrounding temperature.

The two divine weapons seemed to come alive in his hands, transforming into countless black shadows that completely enveloped the white-robed man.

The white-robed man knew the terror of these two divine weapons and dared not confront them head-on. He could only keep dodging backward, his internal energy circulating wildly, his figure weaving through the sword light and blade shadows like a ghost.

Even so, he was still forced to retreat by Ling Xiao, and in the blink of an eye, he was forced back thousands of feet.

Wherever the two passed, the clouds were shredded by the sharp sword energy and blade light, turning into countless tiny wisps of cloud.
The mountain ranges below suffered even more, as the scattered sword marks and blade energy, like invisible giant axes, flattened the peaks one by one. The originally precipitous mountains instantly became gentle, creating a shocking scene, as if the world itself was being reshaped in this fierce battle.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The sharp whistling of sword energy and blade light cutting through the air was continuous, like thousands of sharp blades trembling in the void, so dense that it made one's scalp tingle.

The dark purple sword energy of the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword intertwined with the scarlet blade light of the Bloodthirsty Blade, weaving a massive net of death high in the sky. Every sword energy and every blade light carried the power to tear everything apart, completely sealing off all the white-robed man's escape routes.

The white-robed man's body was covered in more and more wounds. His once pure white robe was now stained with pale gold blood, turning it into a mottled crimson. The tattered fabric fluttered in the wind, and his exposed skin was covered with wounds of varying depths, some deep enough to expose the bone, while others were just shallow scratches, all of which were constantly oozing blood.

His breathing became increasingly rapid, his internal energy was greatly depleted, and his original composure had long since disappeared, replaced by deep exhaustion and solemnity.

He knew very well that prolonged defense would inevitably lead to defeat, and if he continued to passively dodge, he would eventually be worn down by Ling Xiao's swords.

A fierce glint flashed in the white-robed man's eyes. He suddenly stopped and ceased his retreat.

He quickly formed an ancient and complex hand seal with both hands. As his fingers flew, countless streams of black energy surged from his body and swirled around his palms.

As the hand seal gradually took shape, an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from his body. This fluctuation carried a strong aura of death and evil, causing the surrounding temperature to drop to freezing point instantly, and even the sea of ​​clouds in the sky began to freeze.

His silver hair moved without wind, dancing wildly in the air, while his eyes turned completely black, without a trace of white, like two bottomless black holes, exuding a chilling aura.

"Nine Netherworld Soul-Suppressing Seal!"

The white-robed man uttered a deep shout, his voice no longer gentle, but carrying a chilling and majestic quality that seemed to emanate from the deepest hell.

The moment the words fell, a huge black rune suddenly appeared in the void.

This talisman was ten zhang in size, completely black, and its surface was densely covered with twisted curse runes.

These runes wriggled and deformed like living things, and with each wriggle, they emitted a nauseating and evil aura that seemed to erode one's mind and cause hallucinations.

The talisman, carrying a terrifying power to suppress everything, crashed down on Ling Xiao. Wherever it passed, space instantly froze, even the flowing air stopped, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world became still.

Ling Xiao felt as if the space around him had suddenly turned into a hard, solid substance, as if he were trapped in a huge block of ice. Every slight movement became extremely slow, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him.

The Cangyue energy and demon god blood within his body surged wildly, his aura constantly surging forth, attempting to break through this confinement, but he could only barely resist, unable to completely counteract this powerful suppressive force.

He could feel his meridians contracting slightly under this pressure, and his blood and qi circulation becoming sluggish.

"Boom——!"

The enormous black rune struck Ling Xiao without any doubt, and the burst of energy instantly formed a huge black sphere of light with a diameter of hundreds of feet.

This sphere of light was as black as ink, radiating a powerful devouring force. Wherever it reached, even light was completely swallowed up. The surrounding sea of ​​clouds, air, and even fragments of space were sucked into it and disappeared.
