Chapter 108: Above The Peak

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Do you dare to fight?

The Emperor's voice was very faint, and the wind was gentle. He seemed to be speaking carelessly. He stood there lazily and casually glanced at him. Then, he turned his gaze away.

But Lin Xiaocao's eyes instantly became blazing!

He knew very well that regardless of whether or not he had a knot in his heart, the man in front of him was the person he wanted to surpass the most in his entire life, none of them!

The word emperor represented invincibility, the strongest!

In the current Dark World, when mentioning experts who stood at the peak, no one could bypass the words Lin Xuanyuan. The battle for fame that had raised his strength to the peak was the one where he had assassinated the Emperor. He had ended in failure, but was known as the War God, becoming the most powerful killer in the world.

This was definitely an irony for Lin Xiaocao, who had always pursued absolute power.

Even if he had set off a storm of self-destructive killings in Europe in just a few months, even if he had killed the ghosts that countless experts considered undefeatable, even if he had killed Bolton, the guardian of the Skull and Bones Society, with his severely wounded body.

To everyone, the War God Lin Xuanyuan's battle record was brilliant enough to be worthy of the word War God. However, even so, when people mentioned his strength, the first thing they mentioned was not who he had killed, but that he had seriously injured the Emperor.

It was no exaggeration to say that it was the emperor who created the unique Battle God of the Dark World.

The glory and prominence of these two words were all based on failure!

Before leaving for England, when Lin Xiaocao once again climbed the Emperor Armament Mountain and accepted the glorious identity of the War God King, he understood that he was destined to be closely linked to the royal family in this life. It was impossible for him to separate life and death with the Emperor. However, it was precisely because of this that his insistence on separating himself from the Emperor grew stronger and stronger.

He knew that he was no match for the Emperor, but he would never refuse to fight. After all, in Lin Xiaocao's heart, although the Emperor was powerful, he was only slightly stronger than him. The distance between the two did not seem to be far. As long as he could take a small step forward, he would be able to surpass him.

Even if the Emperor didn't say anything, he would still challenge the Emperor once again before leaving the Imperial Clan, trying his best to close the gap between the two of them.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Lin Xiaocao said calmly. All of his fighting intent had been restrained to the extreme, ready to erupt at any moment.

The Emperor chuckled and said slowly, "When I was young, my body was almost crippled. Not to mention wielding a sword, I didn't even have the strength to hold chopsticks." Before that, I always thought that I was very strong. Although I wasn't a match for some old fellows, at least not many of my peers were able to fight me. It's a big blow to a person like me who is suspicious and insecure to go from being an expert to being a cripple. "

At that time, apart from taking good care of my injuries, I did the most and the only thing I could do. I could only think about the path I had taken before. Later, I realized that the pursuit of extreme strength wasn't necessarily a good thing. It was true that he wanted to become stronger, but he was too crazy and deliberate. Instead, he fell into a disadvantageous position. Invincible Under Heaven is a product of crazy pursuit of strength. If I want to reach the limit of this move, the damage to my body is almost unimaginable. That's why I created the King's Dao on the basis of Invincible Under Heaven's attack in the years I recovered from my injuries. Only then did I realize that the true peak was not madness and extremes, but a kind of extreme peace and confidence. Little Cao, your path is wrong. Your current achievements are already your limit. If you continue, you will only regress. "

This was extremely rare guidance, On any occasion, The Emperor didn't say much and rarely spoke loudly. Especially now that he was sitting on more than 70,000 square kilometers of land, a legion of tens of thousands of people, and a top-notch fighting force lineup that was even more luxurious, he no longer cared about personal strength. This was his confidence. He wasn't crazy, wasn't extreme, but he was confident that no one could surpass him!

"The paths are different. There is no distinction between right and wrong."

Lin Xiaocao said firmly, "You are invincible, but how much stronger can you be than me? Ten years, within ten years, I will definitely surpass you!"

"Ten years? With your current physical condition, if you continue on this path, will you be able to live for another ten years?"

The Emperor asked.

"I can definitely surpass you!"

Lin Xiaocao said in a deep voice.

"Surpass me?"

The Emperor's eyes were somewhat complicated. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said with emotion, "You are truly young and vigorous. Take action. Let's see how much stronger I am than you."

Lin Xiaocao did not hesitate at all.

Draw your sword!

The two of them were half in front of each other and half behind each other. They were less than a meter away from each other. Under such an attack distance, Lin Xiaocao didn't even need to move to land her sword on the Emperor's body.

Palm, elbow, arm, entire spine, waist, legs.

Without any hesitation, the will of the Battle God erupted in an instant, accumulating strength and momentum. Lin Xiaocao's entire body's strength erupted without warning.

There is none under Heaven to equal him.

It was still this move, which the Emperor thought was a move with the wrong path!

The entire martial arena seemed to instantly become quiet and quiet. A scarlet and dazzling sword light with the strongest explosive power pierced straight at the Emperor!

It was either a vertical slash or a horizontal sweep. Between the two points, the straight line was the fastest. This sword strike was simply a straight thrust!

The Emperor's body didn't move at all. It was a short distance, the strongest explosion. Adding on Lin Xiaocao's speed, this sword strike had almost no space to dodge.

The Emperor did not plan to dodge. The moment Lin Xiaocao drew his sword, he raised his hand.

Five fingers together!

"Pa!"

The sound of the longsword being unsheathed sounded almost at the same time as the sound of fingers touching the edge of the sword.

The scarlet scourge completely stopped.

Lin Xiaocao's expression suddenly changed as his pupils contracted slightly. He held the sword in one hand and stabbed it with all his might.

The sword remained motionless.

The Emperor's face was expressionless. He clasped his fingers together and tightly gripped the edge of the sword. No matter how hard Lin Xiaocao tried, the sword was unable to move an inch forward.

"Your path is wrong."

The Emperor said indifferently, and immediately attacked.

The hand holding the edge of the sword suddenly pulled down, and the Emperor took a step closer to Lin Xiaocao.

"Boom!"

The entire martial arena shook violently.

Lin Xiaocao's sword-wielding palm was pulled down by an irresistible force, and his wrist hit the knee raised by the Emperor.

The sound of his wrist colliding with his knee was exceptionally soft, but Lin Xiaocao involuntarily let go of his hand. Scourge was sent flying by an upward force, flying towards the high ceiling. The sword rotated, and the sharp sword light pierced through the air.

Lin Xiaocao's eyes instantly turned red as if he was crazy.

It was this damn feeling again!

This strange feeling that he would never forget for the rest of his life!

Three years ago, in London, the moment the War God stabbed the Emperor, the Third Prince of the Imperial Clan, Wang Kongqun, desperately rushed forward to block the Emperor's sword. In a critical moment, the Emperor who had originally intended to pull out his sword slowed down for a moment. After pulling Wang Kongqun back, they stabbed each other and were both seriously injured.

Three years ago, he challenged the Emperor for the second time in the Imperial Armament Mountain. Facing that move, he was defeated without any suspense.

After two battles, Lin Xiaocao had a similar feeling.

That was irresistible!

The feeling from the previous two battles was very blurry, making Lin Xiaocao feel like he could break through this barrier at any time. However, this irresistible feeling became even more obvious in this battle, making people feel desperate.

Scourge flew into the air.

The bare-handed Emperor remained expressionless as he punched Lin Xiaocao in the face.

"Ahhhh!!"

Intense humiliation rose up in Lin Xiaocao's heart. He clenched his hands tightly and punched without hesitation.

Fist to fist.

"Bang!"

Lin Xiaocao's body was like a broken kite, flying backwards.

This time, the feeling of irresistibility became even more obvious.

The Emperor took another step forward.

His movements didn't seem to be fast, but the entire martial arena seemed to shake with him. In recent years, the Emperor, who had become more and more indifferent, instantly gave birth to an unimaginable majestic aura. His eyes were cold and unparalleled in dominance!

Lin Xiaocao involuntarily flew back.

The Emperor quickly followed suit. The moment he landed on the ground, his second punch followed closely behind!

The feeling of irresistibility became even more obvious.

The sound of air-piercing howled. Before the Emperor's fist could reach, the air had already been compressed and condensed by a single fist on the path of the iron fist's attack.

Lin Xiaocao subconsciously tilted her head.

In the next moment, a fierce punch wind suddenly rushed over Lin Xiaocao's shoulder.

"Tear..."

The clothes on Lin Xiaocao's shoulders were completely shattered, and his shoulders were drenched in blood. At the same time, the Emperor's fist was at least twenty centimeters away from Lin Xiaocao's body.

Lin Xiaocao snorted and raised both of his hands to push towards the Emperor's fist.

"Pa!"

The sound of his fists hitting his flesh was exceptionally crisp. In an instant, Lin Xiaocao felt as if he had crashed into a truck. His feet left the ground and he flew backwards again!

However, this time, the Emperor did not wait for his body to land on the ground before rushing over again, followed by a third punch.

His energy and strength seemed endless. The third punch was even more terrifying than the second.

In the air, Lin Xiaocao had no choice but to be hit by the third punch again. His body flew and he was directly blasted out of the martial arts arena gate.

The emperor, who suddenly erupted with an invincible aura, regained his calm. He casually waved his hand and stood in front of the martial arts arena. "Lin Xuanyuan, are you convinced?" He said calmly.

Lin Xuanyuan.

This was the first time the emperor, who had always called him Xiaocao, had called him by his name, and his tone carried a trace of contempt.

One hand. Three punches.

Even if Lin Xiaocao was injured, it was enough to show the Emperor's strength.

Lin Xiaocao, who was lying on the lawn outside the door, did not say anything. She struggled to stand up and howled. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her gaze ferociously rushed towards the Emperor who was standing at the entrance of the martial arts arena.

The fighting style in the London jungle reappeared.

Lin Xiaocao's muscles and joints were stretched to the limit, and all of his movements were released in an instant.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows and a trace of anger flashed past him. His movements were incredibly fast. He punched Lin Xiaocao a few times at a speed not inferior to Lin Xiaocao's.

He grabbed Lin Xiaocao's neck and lifted him up.

Lin Xiaocao's movements instantly stopped, his eyes dull.

"Are you going all out with me? Is it meaningful? If you can erupt, can't I?"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and snorted with a gloomy expression, directly throwing Lin Xiaocao to the ground.

Lin Xiaocao remained motionless, allowing blood to spill out of the corner of his mouth. His eyes were dull, as if he were a dead person.

"Your foster father talked to me once before he left. He said you were too extreme and too proud. You always believed that you were right. What's the truth? To become strong in a self-destructive way, what the hell! You are indeed very strong, but you are still far from reaching the peak of true martial arts. All your confidence is based on your wrong path, so your foster father told me that if you insist, then completely shatter all your confidence and pride and let you truly calm down. Do you think you can catch up with me in just one step because you're so close to the peak? If it was really that easy, then the strongest would not be the emperor alone, but a series of people. The emperor, the ghost, you, Liu-Li, could all be counted as such a series of people, so what was so invincible about that? "What kind of peak?"

The Emperor looked at Lin Xiaocao on the ground and said coldly.

Lin Xiaocao's eyes moved, but he still didn't say anything.

"Think about it carefully. If you figure it out, there's still hope for you to move forward. If you can't figure it out, you can only do this in your lifetime."

The Emperor stopped talking and walked out of the arena.

"Do you think your current height is at its peak? Nobody can surpass you?"

Lin Xiaocao suddenly spoke with a calm tone.

The Emperor paused for a moment and said indifferently, "Yes."

"What about at the peak?"

Lin Xiaocao asked, his tone filled with desire.

"Above the pinnacle is cultivating, ascending by day, immortal. Do you believe it?"

The Emperor's mouth twitched as he spouted nonsense.

Lin Xiaocao also smiled. This time, he did not have any hostility towards the Emperor.

Lost.

Be sincerely convinced.

But that didn't mean that he didn't want to surpass the invincible man standing at the peak.

"I still want to know, what exactly is above the peak?"

His voice was soft and weak, but he asked very seriously.

After a moment of silence, the Emperor shook his head and walked out of the martial arena. He said indifferently, "Without a peak, a peak is the highest. If you take a step further, you will die."
