As for the technique brought to Ling Xiao by the Black Wolf General, it was "Black Wolf Massacre."

It was similarly just a single move, exactly the one the Black Wolf General had unleashed before.

At that moment, Ling Xiao released it as well.

The phantoms of a pack of black wolves charged into the Black Wolf Soldiers, combined with Ling Xiao’s mastery of the Mystery of the Shadow.

It was several times stronger than when the Black Wolf General executed it himself.

Even though the Black Wolf Soldiers were fierce and wanted to avenge their general, attacking Ling Xiao could only lead to their own death.

"We can go now!"

After acquiring so many treasures, completing his mission, and without Bai Yin plotting against him,

Ling Xiao felt there was no need for more killing. He transformed into a black wolf and dashed into the vast desert, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Second Elder, what do we do now?"

Watching Ling Xiao depart, and with the Black Wolf General already fallen in battle,

the remaining Black Wolf Soldiers pinned their hopes on the Second Elder.

"Rest assured, we will avenge the General. Don’t forget the General’s true identity!"

The Second Elder stared at the rising sand in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said, "Pack up your things, we are heading to Eight Immortals County City."

On the road to Eight Immortals County City,

Ling Xiao was ambushed.

However, this ambush could be considered somewhat laughable.

Faced with the much stronger Ling Xiao, of the forty-six Sha Clan members who ambushed him, all perished except Sha Diao.

"Sha Diao, oh Sha Diao, our grievances truly need to be settled today."

Ling Xiao originally wanted to kill Sha Diao.

But that day, to save face for Heiye Wuguang, he refrained from acting.

Now that he has stepped into the Dark Clan, he no longer needs to save face for anyone.

Especially since they are outside.

With only Sha Diao alone, even if killed, the Sha Clan wouldn’t know who did it.

What does it matter if they suspect him?

The Sha Clan can’t possibly blame him for the death of all its people, right?

A murderous intent brewed in Ling Xiao’s heart.

With the words spoken, terrifying wolf shadows gradually formed around him.

At this moment, he seemed like the leader of a wolf pack, evil and powerful.

The terrifying dark energy made the surrounding air grow cold.

"You are indeed a monster. If I don’t kill you today, I fear I’ll never rise again!"

Seeing Ling Xiao transform into the likeness of the Black Wolf General, a gigantic werewolf towering four or five meters high,

Sha Diao felt a tinge of fear, but more so anger and animosity.

He knew Ling Xiao must die.

And today, he had to kill this guy, otherwise, he truly wouldn’t be a match for this kid in the future.

Facing the pack of wolves that pounced on him,

Sha Diao could feel the threat.

Each wolf shadow carried the strength to annihilate a First Stage Second Layer Hell Warrior, to destroy a Third Layer Hell Warrior.

Though they couldn’t kill him, they could definitely seriously injure him.

And it wasn’t just a single wolf shadow, but hundreds of them.

Densely packed, sending chills up his spine.

Sha Diao knew he couldn’t afford to be afraid.

He made a gesture, and three swords flew out from his Storage Ring simultaneously.

Subsequently, three black suns appeared behind him.

A stronger display than his previous attack while saving Bai Yin.

Each black sun was formed by terrifying black Sword Qi and Demonic Fire.

The searing and sinister Sword Qi ripped through the void, mysterious and unpredictable.

The sword light struck the wolf shadows, continuously making explosive sounds, shattering each wolf shadow.

Though this move consumed a lot of Sha Diao’s Yin-Yang Elemental Force, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"So, you broke through to the Hell Early Stage of the First Stage Third Layer, no wonder you dared to fight me!

But did you think an early-stage cultivation level could truly defeat my pinnacle cultivation level?

Utterly delusional!"

After a single clash, Sha Diao had discerned Ling Xiao’s true cultivation level.

Although surprised by Ling Xiao’s rapid cultivation breakthrough,

a Hell Early Stage of the First Stage Third Layer was not something he regarded highly.

One must know that there’s a tenfold difference between early-stage and intermediate-stage levels!

Early stage, intermediate stage, late stage, pinnacle!

There’s a whopping thirtyfold difference.

How could he possibly lose?

Though he didn’t know what happened to the Black Wolf General, he suspected Ling Xiao lost, transforming into the Black Wolf General merely to cover his defeat.

He couldn’t fathom Ling Xiao defeating that Black Wolf General.

Ling Xiao might be strong, but knowing his true cultivation, Sha Diao no longer felt fear.

In fact, he even harbored disdain and scorn for Ling Xiao deep down.

"Seems my father wasn’t wrong. Back on the Black Immortal Mountain, the reason you were so powerful was purely because of the Array Formation.

Without the Array Formation, you’re nothing but a waste.

With such a vast difference in cultivation, you still dare act so arrogantly in front of me. Today will be your end!"

At this moment, Sha Diao had completely forgotten the vows he had made.

He hated Ling Xiao, hated enough to throw his vows aside.

"Three Suns Prosper, Black Sun Annihilation Sword!"

The three black suns erupted with black Sword Qi, roaring like a gale, blasting towards Ling Xiao.

The terrifying sword light shimmered in the void.

However, it was all a chilling black glow.

"Can’t you see it yet? You are no longer a match for me now!"

Ling Xiao smiled coldly.

The Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit was unleashed once more.

In a place with no spectators, the battle was exhilarating, allowing him to unleash the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit without restraint, to enhance his combat power.

"Purple Qi Eastward Sword - One Sword of Destruction!

Small Success!"

This was the second move of the Purple Qi Eastward Sword, a technique Ling Xiao had just learned.

With a cultivation breakthrough, learning anything seemed much easier.

The Sword Light flashed, effortlessly striking those three black suns, halting their progress.

"Foolish creature, to dare touch my three black suns, it’s sheer folly.

Black Sun Engulfs Body! Sword Wounds the Innards! Die!"

Those three black suns suddenly exploded.

The terrifying heat penetrated Ling Xiao’s Heavy Sword, trying to invade his body and destroy him from within.

This was the most terrifying aspect of Sha Diao’s Black Sun Sandstorm Sword Technique.

"Who’s the foolish one?"

Facing Sha Diao’s sudden attack,

Ling Xiao’s expression remained unchanged.

A dark black hole appeared in the palm of his right hand.

"Mystery of the Shadow - Dark Prison!"

As he had already decided to eliminate Sha Diao, he didn’t care what Martial Arts he used.

The former Light and Shadow Mystique could naturally be used, though its power wasn’t as strong as in his peak, but enough to deal with Sha Diao.

Especially when the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit was unleashed.

The black hole in the vast universe grew even larger.

The light from the three black suns was entirely devoured by the black hole.

Ling Xiao’s actual intent in doing so was merely to use Sha Diao’s attack.

He found that the light from the black suns carried a very strong power, perhaps it could stimulate those slumbering forces within him, dormant due to worldly reincarnation.
