Chapter 316: Killing Ma Hongjun, Refining Phoenix Blood

The Slaughter King stirred restlessly.

His gaze fell upon Lin Xiao, who was currently battling Ma Hongjun in the arena.

At this moment,

Lin Xiao was using his powerful physique to evade Ma Hongjun, constantly taunting him and making Ma Hongjun's mental state increasingly volatile.

"Blood Phoenix? You really think highly of yourself. You've just willingly degraded yourself into a blood-sucking bat. Did you even come up with that 'Blood Phoenix' name yourself?"

"Gaining power by sucking blood... Foolish! This mixed and impure power is nothing but garbage. Others purify their own Soul Power, picking up mud to grow lotus flowers, while you pick up poop to make egg tarts!"

"Haven't you realized your mistake yet? Don't even mention you're a Soul Saint now; even if you were a Soul Douluo, I could hang you up and beat you. If we were at the same level, just the Bloodline Suppression alone would make you kneel and unable to stand."

Lin Xiao's words were like knives cutting into Ma Hongjun, making him increasingly defensive. His already chaotic attacks became full of errors, and he was burned by Phoenix Fire, a miserable sight.

Just as Ma Hongjun was steadily retreating, on the verge of being killed by Lin Xiao,

A chilling killing intent suddenly enveloped Lin Xiao. It was the Slaughter King, holding the Asura Divine Sword, swinging it towards Lin Xiao with monstrous ferocity!

Lin Xiao absolutely could not withstand this attack!

After all, this was Tang Chen, a Limit Douluo, wielding the Asura Divine Sword and attacking with full force.

But Lin Xiao seemed to have been prepared.

In fact, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

"Great Sun Golden Eyes!"

"Black Sun Purifying Fire, Reverse!"

Ma Hongjun, who had just been entangled with Lin Xiao, was now kicked away by Lin Xiao. Amidst the loud bang of a Flame Burst, he was severely injured and unable to get up.

Meanwhile, a great sun rose in Lin Xiao's eyes, the golden flames brilliant. Combined with the soul impact from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year Head Soul Bone, his target was directed straight at Tang Chen... specifically, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King in his heart!

Additionally, the Black Sun Purifying Fire was directed at Tang Chen.

The Black Sun Purifying Fire can purify all desires and emotions, even causing memory loss! Conversely, using it in reverse can enhance one's emotions and help recall past memories.

The cost, however, is the burning of one's soul.

"Ying..."

"Ah!!!"

A piercing shriek, like an infant's cry, and a man's agonizing shout of pain erupted simultaneously.

One came from the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, the other from Tang Chen!

Not the Slaughter King, but Tang Chen!

Long before the widespread slaughter began, Lin Xiao knew he would inevitably face the Slaughter King. The reason Lin Xiao dared to be so conspicuous, knowing he would face a Limit Douluo level expert,

Was precisely because he had found the Slaughter King's weakness!

The Slaughter King was neither Tang Chen nor the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.

It was a combination of the fallen Tang Chen and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King parasitizing him!

If his opponent were Tang Chen, Lin Xiao would be finished with a single hammer or sword. But the Slaughter King's strength was weakened, and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King parasitizing him was not particularly strong in terms of combat power!

He had to thank the bloody bat that appeared in the Hell Slaughter Arena before. It allowed Lin Xiao to understand the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's true nature and confirm that he was its nemesis!

"Due to the limitations of my Spiritual Power, even with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year Head Soul Bone combined with the Great Sun Golden Eyes, it's difficult to severely injure Tang Chen, the strongest person of his generation."

"But I don't need to face Tang Chen directly. I just need to severely injure the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King! When the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's spirit is severely injured, its suppression of Tang Chen will inevitably decrease."

"The balance will be broken!"

"Then, I used the reversed Black Sun Purifying Fire to help Tang Chen's true self recall past memories and emotions, leaving the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King unable to fend for itself!"

Lin Xiao reviewed his plan.

There was certainly an element of gambling involved, but Lin Xiao still had his final trump card, Feng Yu.

Feng Yu could kill the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.

However, Feng Yu acting in Slaughter City was a high-risk move. Fortunately, she didn't need to be troubled in the end.

The Slaughter King's dark red cloak was torn to shreds, and an expression of extreme pain burst forth on his pale face. One could clearly see Tang Chen's gaze shifting between clarity and turbidity.

Clearly, Tang Chen and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King were fighting for control of the body!

To ensure complete success earlier, Lin Xiao had almost exhausted his Spiritual Power. At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his brain. Even if he wanted to help Tang Chen deal with the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, he was powerless.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xiao stepped towards Ma Hongjun.

With his bloodline suppressed, Ma Hongjun couldn't even exert half of his strength, let alone the fact that Lin Xiao's flames were the nemesis of his corrupted form?

The Great Sun Golden Flame had the strongest counter-effect on Ma Hongjun.

The previous Jet-Black Phoenix Fire was merely to create an opportunity for the Slaughter King and also to create an opportunity for Lin Xiao to catch him off guard.

Now.

What Lin Xiao needed to do was...

Kill Ma Hongjun!

Tang Chen's consciousness had been eroded for too long; it could be said to be riddled with holes. Even though Lin Xiao had severely injured the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, it was still very difficult to successfully seize control.

Lin Xiao was unable to launch a second spiritual attack.

But he had other ways to help Tang Chen.

He remembered very clearly that inside Ma Hongjun's body, there was also a blood-colored bat, which was probably a sub-entity or clone of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.

Killing it would certainly cause the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King to be severely injured again.

Lin Xiao looked at Ma Hongjun in the deep pit, his eyes filled with resentment.

His expression was normal, and his steps were steady.

"Lin Xiao, use fire!"

Suddenly, Feng Yu's voice sounded in his mind.

"Use Ultimate Phoenix Fire, don't use other flames. This way, you might even be able to purify and obtain a trace of the Phoenix Bloodline!"

Lin Xiao hadn't contacted Feng Yu for a long time. Hearing her voice so suddenly, he was both surprised and worried.

"Feng Yu, you won't be discovered, right?"

"It's fine. I'm hidden deep in your Sea of Consciousness. As long as you don't space out and I don't show myself, no one will notice anything."

Feng Yu sounded a bit frustrated.

"This fat guy is really something to be able to pollute his own Phoenix Bloodline to this extent. But no matter what, his initial trace of the Phoenix Bloodline hasn't completely mutated yet. It will be beneficial for you to absorb it. When you reach level 70, your Phoenix True Body will be unbelievably strong!"

At Feng Yu's urging, Lin Xiao dispelled the Great Sun Golden Flame in his Palm.

On his fair hand, scarlet Phoenix Fire lingered, transforming into a small Phoenix.

He extended his Palm, and the small Phoenix flew towards Ma Hongjun, who was instantly enveloped in intense flames.

Amidst screams, countless blood-colored and black impurities were burned away.

During this process, Ma Hongjun's eyes were first filled with resentment, and he uttered vicious curses.

"Lin Xiao! I'll wait for you underground!"

"Lin Xiao! I won't let you off even as a ghost!"

...

Afterward, Ma Hongjun's voice grew weaker and weaker, and his eyes gradually cleared.

"Xiao Ge."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression paused slightly.

His eyes were complex.

But he did not stop the refining process
