"Ice Freeze Space! Galactic Waters!"

Xiao Tianling's second bloodline is from the Xiao family, and it is water-attributed.

Surging floods roll through the void, seemingly enveloping the entire space. The void was filled with rolling waters. Water and ice complement each other, the vast amount of water supporting the power of the ice. Water rushes in, and frost freezes it solid. Everywhere the water flows, ice crystals form.

No wonder Xiao Tianling chose the Xiao family bloodline. This bloodline complements his icy bloodline perfectly. When the two bloodlines are activated together, their power multiplies.

Even Lin Fei's saber light was swept away by the surging flood, and then instantly frozen by ice crystals. But Lin Fei has the Grand Yin Wind.

The wind rises!

Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind isn't just an enhanced version of the Bone-Eroding Wind. It's a terrifying power in itself, possessing fearsome destructive capabilities. As the gale howls, the sky full of ice crystals is turned to mere shreds under its influence. If Xiao Tianling's combination of his icy and water bloodlines somewhat countered Lin Fei's Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline, then Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind Bloodline truly counters Xiao Tianling's icy bloodline. With one gust, ice crystals are shattered.

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Tianling's body shakes, disbelief evident in his eyes. He can hardly trust what he's seeing. The combination of his two bloodlines was being utterly countered by Lin Fei. If the two bloodlines didn't suppress Lin Fei's saber bloodline, Lin Fei's saber light would cut him in half. Now he did suppress the saber bloodline, but then Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline would blow him to dust.

The wind howls, and Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind finally reaches Xiao Tianling's Martial King Form. Xiao Tianling had hoped to see if his Martial King Form could withstand Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind. If it could, he might still have a fighting chance. But when the Grand Yin Wind brushed against his Martial King Form, all hope was annihilated.

Previously, Lin Fei's Divine Ability, Black Wind Prison, had the Bone-Eroding Wind – a fearsome Divine Ability. But now, with the Grand Yin Wind unleashed, it's even more terrifying. The wind blows, turning Xiao Tianling's Martial King Form to ash, crumbling it completely.

"This is..."

Xiao Tianling's complexion changed dramatically. His flesh was beginning to "wind-erode", and crucially, on a particle level. Meaning that his eroding body would be completely obliterated in a short time unless regenerated. But there's no time for that. Once his Martial King Form was entirely "wind-eroded", it would mean his death. A total end. With this kind of particle-level obliteration, even rebirth or recovery is near impossible.

Xiao Tianling let out a scream of agony. He never expected this to happen. Utterly crushed! His Martial King Form, facing Lin Fei's Grand Yin Wind, was completely overpowered without any resistance.

Desperate, Xiao Tianling tried to escape, but without the capabilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had no teleportation techniques. In this situation, he's completely entangled by Lin Fei's two bloodlines. He has to make a choice.

"Blood Resurrection, Explode!"

The next moment, Xiao Tianling detonated. He self-destructed his Martial King Form. Indeed, while Martial Kings might not have teleportation techniques, it doesn't mean they don't have ways to escape dire situations. If they're faced with certain death, Martial Kings have their methods. Nascent Soul cultivators have teleportation, Martial Kings have the Blood Resurrection.

As such, Xiao Tianling decisively chose to self-destruct. The explosion of a Martial King Form was terrifyingly powerful. Its vast power swept in every direction. With the self-detonated of the Martial King Form, the surrounding void shatters instantly. Even Lin Fei's saber light and the Grand Yin Wind in the void are wiped out by the blast.

But Xiao Tianling's self-destruction wasn't on a particle level. It's merely a physical explosion. Martial Kings can resurrect from a single drop of blood. Therefore, droplets of blood crazily fly toward the horizon. Xiao Tianling chose to flee. And quickly, these droplets merged together, once again forming the figure of Xiao Tianling, albeit much farther away.

"You, the Ancient Origin Saber King! I shall remember you! Once I recover, we will settle this score!"

Enraged, a murderous intent grows in Xiao Tianling. He had returned with unmatched dominance, initially intending to obliterate the Xiao family in revenge. Yet, his plans were thwarted by the unexpected appearance of the "Ancient Origin Saber King." He was even forced into a hasty retreat. Naturally, this grudge was engraved in his heart. But for now, he had escaped, ensuring another chance for revenge in the future.

Just as Xiaotianling was about to speed up and escape back to his lair, he suddenly slammed into an invisible wall, stopping him in his tracks.

"What is this...?" He abruptly looked up, noticing the surroundings. Unbeknownst to him, sharp saber lights filled the area, as if he was in a different world, a world dominated by sabers.

"Saber World?"

Being a Martial King and coming from a family of Martial Kings, Xiaotianling immediately thought of a possibility. His face darkened instantly.

With a "whoosh" sound, the next moment, Lin Fei "teleported" in front of Xiaotianling.

"That's right, this is Saber World," Lin Fei calmly stated. "Last time, Qianhe managed to escape. This time, you won't be so lucky."

It was clear that Lin Fei had activated the Saber World long ago. Right after Xiaotianling's self-explosion, Lin Fei initiated the Saber World, enveloping the entire void. No matter how fast Xiaotianling moved or even if he self-destructed his Martial King's True Form, it was futile. As long as he couldn't escape the Saber World, Lin Fei could catch up with him in an instant.

"Fire!"

With a wave of Lin Fei's hand, flames roared within the Saber World, capable of burning down to the particle level. Once turned to ash within this fire, one would be truly gone.

"Ancient Origin Saber King, do you truly wish to eradicate me completely?" Xiao Tianling's expression changed drastically as he felt the looming threat of death. He didn't want to die. He was a Martial King with a life expectancy of thousands of years. How could he die now?

"Explode!"

Xiao Tianling attempted another self-explosion. But this time, with a simple command of "Suppress!" from Lin Fei, the power of the Saber World exploded.

Xiao Tianling's body was instantly pulverized but was suppressed by Lin Fei's Saber World. Even re-forming was an impossible dream for him now.

"Grand Yin Wind! Fire!"

Lin Fei then invoked the Grand Yin Wind, and the flames in the Saber World blazed even more fiercely. With the wind fueling the flames, the fire became even more intense.

"No..."

In the blink of an eye, amidst the roaring flames, Xiao Tianling screamed. His self-exploded mist of blood was tumbling endlessly. However, amidst the flames, it slowly turned to ash.
