Slaying Ao Xiong

"A third kind of Astral Qi?" Ao Xiong's heart jolted. He had thought two kinds were monstrous enough. He had never imagined there was a third.

Every kind of Astral Qi had a different effect. A Martial Artist who could switch between them according to the situation would gain a tremendous advantage in battle.

This man possesses several kinds of Astral Qi, each with a completely different effect. Either he has a special constitution, or his martial art is special. If it's the latter, I must seize it and see what kind of martial art could have such wondrous effects!

The thought flashed through Ao Xiong's mind, and he slashed through the air. Flames rolled along the blade as True Essence surged forth, forming a crescent of blade energy that swept across the sky toward Lin Qing.

The wound on Lin Qing's arm had nearly healed. Azure energy rose from his body, and he suddenly flickered aside, dodging the flaming blade.

Boom!

A thunderous crash came from behind him. The blade energy struck an abandoned wooden house, which exploded in a pillar of fire.

Lin Qing's heart stirred. No True Essence Realm Martial Artist could be underestimated, even one advanced in years. The destructive power of True Essence was too terrifying. That slash would have instantly killed any True Gang Realm Martial Artist it struck. Even Lin Qing could not have endured it.

Ao Xiong missed and kept swinging. Swish, swish, swish! He unleashed nine slashes in succession, sending nine crescent-shaped flaming blades at Lin Qing from different directions.

Lin Qing continued channeling Clear Wind Astral Qi through his body. He swayed from side to side, twisting and darting about, stirring up gusts of wind.

The blades of energy skimmed past him, each one narrowly dodged.

Boom, boom, boom!
