Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 35: Chapter 34 Ice Heart Divine Soul_1

”You have saved me twice already. Now, it’s my turn to repay your kindness.”

At this moment, Xu Ruoyan stepped in front of Ling Chen. She unsheathed a sky-blue Treasure Sword, and an intense desire to battle emanated from her.

Ling Chen’s gaze fell upon Xu Ruoyan’s blue sword. The sword, known as the Cloud and Water Sword, was also one of the famous swords in the Jianghu.

The Cloud and Water Sword was fashioned from iron found deep in the North Pole Cold Pool and crafted by the renowned Jianghu craftsman, Gu Yezi. It was rumored that upon completion, the sword qi soared into the sky, and auspicious clouds enveloped it. It was the personal sword of Heavenly Void Palace Master, Xu Feihong.

Although Xu Feihong was one of the few Top Sky Apex Strong in the Martial World, he never found much use for the famous Cloud and Water Sword. Therefore, the sword was held by Xu Ruoyan.

Xu Ruoyan removed a small torch-like device from her sleeve, triggered the mechanism, and a purple flare soared into the sky, igniting a blaze of dazzling sparks above them.

”Isn’t it too late to send a signal now?”

Upon seeing this, Liu Chuanxiong’s face flickered slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure, a hint of mockery curling at the corners of his mouth.

”Perhaps not.”

Xu Ruoyan’s beautiful face remained calm. She had already sent a signal when they left the cave. The device was exclusive to the Sky Void Palace. Anyone related to the Sky Void Palace would rush to the rescue upon seeing the signal.

”Before reinforcements arrive, the two of you will become ice-cold corpses. A mere Second Level Martial Artist, no matter how talented, cannot be a match for me.”

Liu Chuanxiong completely disregarded Xu Ruoyan. The vast difference in Cultivation between them could never be bridged by mere talent.

”Is that so?”

Xu Ruoyan’s beautiful face turned cold, resembling her usual aloof demeanor. A glint flashed in her eyes, and in the next moment, her blue True Qi spread across her body like a ribbon of silk.

WHOOSH!

Under everyone’s astounded gazes, Xu Ruoyan’s aura suddenly skyrocketed. Her eyes seemed to glow with a blue hue. Her Cultivation level astonishingly broke through the Second Realm and Third Level, jumping to the Fourth Realm in a short period.

A Secret Method that temporarily increases Cultivation!

Ling Chen was also taken aback. This Secret Method was known as ”Ice Heart Divine Soul”, a top-grade Secret Method of the Sky Void Palace. Its function to forcibly increase Cultivation was simply heaven-defying.

”Kill them!”

At Liu Chuanxiong’s command, his subordinates charged like fierce wolves.

Meanwhile, Liu Chuanxiong himself leaped into the sky and fiercely launched a palm strike at Xu Ruoyan.

”Rivers and Mountains in Mist!”

A murderous intent erupted from the Cloud and Water Sword. The white-robed girl took a step forward, directed her Long Sword, and unleashed an unstoppable force.

WHOOSH!

She swung the Cloud and Water Sword, casting endless shadowy figures of her blade. It was as if she had swept out a continuous snowfall.

Upon seeing this, Liu Chuanxiong’s face slightly changed. He shifted his palm technique and instantly urged his True Qi, setting off waves of air, six layers in total, each wave more powerful than the last.

When Palm Power met the sword edge, Liu Chuanxiong, with his Seventh Realm Martial Master Cultivation, quickly gained the upper hand. However, Xu Ruoyan had elevated two levels through ”Ice Heart Divine Soul” and also had the assistance of the famous Cloud and Water Sword. Thus, after several exchanges, she managed to hold her own and was not at a significant disadvantage.

On Ling Chen’s side, seven or eight warriors had also swarmed to attack him.

Among these warriors, two were Martial Artists: one at the first realm and the other at the Second Realm.

The rest were all warriors above the Fifth Level.

Such a lineup could easily annihilate any expert below the Martial Teacher Level. Even a First Layer Martial Master would be utterly destroyed by such a formidable force.

Xu Ruoyan also noticed the danger Ling Chen was in. She furrowed her brows slightly. At this moment, even though she knew Ling Chen was in a perilous situation, she didn’t have much energy to spare for him.

”If you have time to worry about your little lover, you should worry more about yourself,” Liu Chuanxiong said, a cold smile appearing on his face. He launched another palm strike. His strong palms seemed covered with a layer of frost as he swept out a trail of ice shards with overwhelming power.

CLANG!

Xu Ruoyan infused her sword with blue, icy True Qi and moved to meet the attack. When swords and palms clashed, a spray of icy shards scattered across the field.

「Elsewhere, Ling Chen was already surrounded.」

”Young man, surrender peacefully and spare yourself some pain,” sneered the Second Level Martial Artist, his eyes filled with mockery as if looking at a dead man.

Sending so many Experts to deal with a Martial Artist of the Eighth Layer is like using a butcher’s cleaver to kill a chicken, he thought.

”Your Family Head is insane, and you’re all following him down this road to madness?” Ling Chen’s face remained unchanged as he glanced around. ”Liu Chengfeng was a flower-stealing rogue; his death is not regrettable. I am a Disciple of the Divine Intent Sect, and she is the young palace master of the Sky Void Palace. If you dare to kill us, you will certainly pay with your lives in the future.”

”Do you really think Liu Chuanxiong will protect you? When the Divine Intent Sect and the Sky Void Palace come knocking, given Liu Chuanxiong’s character, he will definitely offer you up as scapegoats. What good will that do you?”

I’ll be hard-pressed to face them head-on with so many opponents, Ling Chen knew. I can only try to delay them. Xu Ruoyan has already sent the signal. The longer I can stall, the higher the chance of reinforcements arriving.

”Ling Chen, don’t think we’re all fools,” the Second Level Martial Artist mocked scornfully. ”Your time as the top genius of the Martial World is over; don’t try to intimidate us with your status. As for Xu Ruoyan, the Sky Void Palace is far away in the Water Country. Distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. They can’t manage affairs thousands of miles away.”

”Exactly! Thinking you can still buy time now? You’re being far too optimistic,” sneered the remaining First Realm warrior, apparently seeing through Ling Chen’s intentions.

”Enough talk! Let’s get him! Take him down!” one of them shouted.

Ignoring Ling Chen’s words, the seven or eight warriors instantly charged, intent on killing him.

As they moved, Ling Chen had already darted backward, using the surrounding terrain to evade their encirclement.

”Where do you think you’re going?” one of them taunted.

They all watched Ling Chen with mocking eyes, as if he were a turtle trapped in a jar with no possibility of escape. Due to their arrogance, the warriors became careless, revealing numerous openings.

However, in this tense situation, Ling Chen, seemingly panicking, suddenly sidestepped and launched a swift sword strike.

PFFT!

His sword flashed like lightning, instantly severing one warrior’s neck. Hot blood sprayed out.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Ling Chen turned the tables. Swiftly advancing, he swung his Long Sword in quick succession. Using the first three moves of the Dragon Seeking Sword Technique, he killed the warriors attempting to encircle him, one by one.

”You little beast! You’re courting death!”

The Second Level Martial Artist flew into a rage. Right before his eyes, Ling Chen had employed such a cunning trick, wiping out almost all of his men in an instant. This is utterly outrageous!

Enraged, he no longer intended to let Ling Chen live for another second. His right hand formed an eagle claw as he struck viciously at Ling Chen’s head.

The First Layer Martial Master and the remaining warriors also attacked Ling Chen from the left and right flanks.

Under this three-pronged assault, Ling Chen had nowhere to evade.

”Die!” the three attackers shouted in unison.

”The ones who will die are you!”

A murderous intent flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. He roared and swung his sword, which moved like a White Dragon emerging from the water. A loud, soaring dragon’s roar suddenly resounded.

”Seeking Dragon Sword Technique - Fourth Style, Seeing Dragon in the Field!”
