Chapter 2952 Terrifying Soul Pressure: The Battle for First Place

As they delved deeper, Xiao Qi Qi began to feel some pressure.

Around them, people started fainting and begging for mercy.

Of course, more people continued to walk forward with heavy steps, faces pale.

Their speed wasn’t fast.

These people’s soul power wasn’t actually bad, it’s just that compared to these people, Ling Xiao was exceptionally outstanding.

Continuously, disciples from the Demon Dragon Sword Court came to clear out those who fainted and begged for mercy.

The soul power of these disciples from the Demon Dragon Sword Court was about the same as Lin Feiyang and Xiao Qi Qi.

So, in the initial part of the journey, they were relatively relaxed, essentially able to ignore such soul oppression.

But to say they were completely unaffected like Ling Xiao, that was impossible.

About twenty minutes passed, and Ling Xiao realized that almost all participants with the cultivation level of the First Tier Yin Yang Realm, 14th Layer Hell Early Stage and Intermediate Stage had been completely eliminated.

He was the only one still amidst the crowd.

Previously there were more than 200,000 people, now only a bit over 100,000 remained.

Yet this Devil’s Cave still seemed endless, driving people to despair.

At this moment, sweat began to roll down Xiao Qi Qi’s forehead next to him.

Clearly, reaching here, Xiao Qi Qi also began to feel some pressure.

Of course, this pressure still wasn’t a big deal for her.

But for others, it was like hell.

"Big brother, you’re amazing, not even catching your breath. I reckon you might be the first to reach the end of this never before completed Devil’s Cave."

Xiao Qi Qi looked at Ling Xiao with eyes filled with admiration.

Being admired by a martial artist stronger than himself felt quite good.

"Big brother, I know you’re watching over me, that’s why you’re walking so slowly. It’s okay, you go ahead, after all, no fighting is allowed here."

Xiao Qi Qi suddenly said.

"Really?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"Of course you can."

Xiao Qi Qi nodded.

"Alright then, to end this boring competition soon, I’ll head to the finish line first."

Ling Xiao thought about it too; with Xiao Qi Qi’s strength, what was there to worry about?

So, he began to accelerate.

His figure streaked through the Devil’s Cave like a whirlwind.

This scene surprised not only the martial artists participating, but also the Demon Dragon Sword Court disciples responsible for clearing eliminated participants.

"Damn, who is this, so terrifying! Reaching this point, we can’t even be this at ease, yet he’s running so fast?"

"Yeah, unbelievable; although body movement techniques don’t require much soul power consumption, they still need the soul to maneuver them.

Under intense soul oppression, most people simply can’t perform body movements so perfectly; could this kid really be a Soul Clan martial artist?"

"He must be, otherwise, how could his soul power be this strong? At this speed, he’ll soon reach the passing line."

"No, the passing line probably isn’t his goal. I think this kid is aiming for first place."

"Lin Feiyang’s in danger; never expected to encounter a Soul Clan martial artist here, this is basically their home ground."

Ling Xiao’s sudden acceleration left everyone dumbfounded and shocked.

Though Xiao Qi Qi was also running fast behind him,

Normally, she would definitely be the focus.

But Ling Xiao was too dazzling, too flashy.

Exhibiting the Magic Dragon Illusion Body Technique, like a demon dragon darting through the Devil’s Cave, countless silhouettes were left behind by him.

In a moment, he went from tens of thousands in rank to dozens, and his speed didn’t decrease.

"What’s happening?"

Liam the Demon Envoy also noticed Ling Xiao at this moment.

Such a flashy sprint couldn’t go unnoticed.

"This guy, with such weak cultivation level yet with such strong soul power, this Devil’s Cave soul oppression has no effect on him at all.

Let me see, is he using any magical treasures?"

Lin Geng pulled out a mirror and pointed it at Ling Xiao.

"No? He’s not using any magical treasures, yet his soul power is this horrifying, even an average Soul Clan martial artist can’t achieve this.

This kid is not only Soul Clan, but likely a genius among Soul Clan martial artists!

Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, we really misjudged, your brother Lin Feiyang, at least in this round, isn’t a match for this kid."

Lin Geng sighed with some regret.

In his view, even if Ling Xiao took first in this round, it would still be hard to escape Lin Feiyang’s persecution.

Though he was a Demon Envoy, he had no personal ties with Ling Xiao and couldn’t possibly go against Lin Xuan for Ling Xiao.

At this moment, Ling Xiao had already reached the tenth position.

Lin Feiyang was currently the leader, he and another person formed the first group, leaving everyone else far behind.

Even the third place was over a thousand meters away from Lin Feiyang.

Outside, a thousand meters wouldn’t mean much, but inside the Devil’s Cave, even a hundred meters could be an insurmountable chasm, let alone a thousand meters.

"Lin Shao, how about we sit down and rest for a bit, no one could possibly catch up by now."

The martial artist in second place said to Lin Feiyang.

Clearly, this guy had a good relationship with Lin Feiyang, as Lin Feiyang carefully kept pace with him.

If he truly ran, Lin Feiyang could have left him far behind.

One has to say, among these hundreds of thousands of participants, Lin Feiyang truly was a standout.

Apart from his pretense, there wasn’t much to pick on him.

If it weren’t for Ling Xiao, securing the first place would have been a piece of cake for him.

But unfortunately, fate conspired against him with Ling Xiao.

Lin Feiyang and the second-ranked martial artist had just sat down.

Suddenly a black figure shot out from afar.

This startled both of them.

"Who is it, who can still travel at such terrifying speed here?"

They suddenly stood up, their faces filled with shock.

"Could it be that little girl named Xiao Qi Qi?"

The second-ranked martial artist speculated.

"No, it’s him, how could it be him!"

Lin Feiyang saw the appearance of the approaching person.

So he was even more shocked!

It was Ling Xiao, that small figure he didn’t take seriously at all!

"Oh, isn’t this little Lin Dog? What’s the matter, you’ve already run out of steam? I saw you quite upbeat outside."

Ling Xiao’s voice suddenly rang out.

Afterwards, he deliberately stood beside Lin Feiyang, stopped, and looked at Lin Feiyang with a mocking gaze.

"Kid, don’t be so smug! I’m just taking a short break!"

Lin Feiyang was furious, but he knew he couldn’t hit anyone now, otherwise he would be directly eliminated.

"Really? Then I’ll take a break too, you guys go ahead."

Ling Xiao simply sat down, waved him off and said.

"Damn it, daring to look down on us! Lin Shao, let’s go, I don’t believe, after his reckless sprint, he can keep going, the soul oppression up ahead is even worse, with his poor cultivation, how could he possibly keep up!"

The second-ranked martial artist shouted loudly.
