Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Earth’s Core Fire Python _1

”These two are indeed top experts on the Heavenly List; their combat prowess is astounding.”

Watching the two clash, Bai Susu’s expression tensed, her gaze fixed.

”They probably won’t notice us now. Let’s go while we can!”

Although Ling Chen was eager to continue watching the battle, the current situation wouldn’t permit it. If they didn’t leave now, they might not be able to escape later.

Hearing his words, Bai Susu promptly nodded and quickly kept pace with Ling Chen.

However, Ling Chen and Bai Susu had barely emerged when they were spotted by members of the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Blue Moon Commerce Association.

Is it these two? Yuan Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly, not making any rash moves.

”There are two little rats! Get rid of them!”

But the people from the Myriad Beasts Sect had no intention of allowing Ling Chen and Bai Susu to leave. Once spotted, two men in black immediately gave chase.

”Get ready to fight.”

Ling Chen shook his head. Fleeing was impossible now. It seems we’ll have to deal with these two tails first, he thought.

In the narrow confines of the mountain’s interior, escape was extremely difficult. So, Ling Chen and Bai Susu hadn’t run far before the two men in black caught up.

The leading man in black had a gaunt face, his long, narrow eyes glinting with insidious cunning. He chuckled sinisterly, ”Still trying to run? Since you’re here, don’t be in such a rush to leave. Boy, judging by your appearance, you must be a sect disciple. Hand over all your valuables, then sever an arm. Only then might you have a chance to live.”

”Heh heh, sever an arm, and we’ll spare your life. But your female companion must stay. Such a prime piece should be quite enjoyable to play with!” the other man in black, his face a mass of bulging flesh, sneered.

”Alright. I’ve only just met this woman; take her if you wish. My possessions are negotiable, but severing an arm? Isn’t that a bit too cruel? Seeing as I’m surrendering, could you perhaps let me off the hook?” Ling Chen replied with a smile.

”Ling Chen, you!”

Bai Susu stared at Ling Chen, her beautiful eyes wide with astonishment. This guy... can he actually be trusted?

”Good lad! I admire someone who knows what’s good for them,” the fat man in black grinned, then he and his gaunt companion began to approach Ling Chen and Bai Susu.

Seeing this, Bai Susu’s pretty face paled. If Ling Chen really plans to sell me out, I’ll be in a terrible predicament!

Just as her heart plummeted to the depths of despair, Ling Chen’s voice suddenly reached her ears, ”Get ready to move.”

She snapped her head up just in time to see Ling Chen draw his Heavenly Mansion Sword with lightning speed and charge at the two men in black.

”That fat bastard is mine!” Bai Susu declared, a fierce joy lighting up her face as a murderous glint flashed in her eyes. This fat man dared to have ideas about her; she would show him that she, the ”Little Medicine King,” was not to be trifled with.

She suddenly flicked her sleeve, sending a cloud of pink powder toward the fat man in black. The pink powder, a potent poison, forced him to retreat.

Although Bai Susu’s combat skills were average, her mastery of poisons far surpassed her actual fighting strength.

”Damn brat! You dare trick me? You’re courting death!”

The gaunt man in black wielded an Iron Spear. He channeled his True Qi, and the tip of his Iron Spear erupted in flames, transforming it into what looked like a nimble fire serpent soaring through the air.

Ling Chen watched the incoming spear, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. This gaunt man’s True Qi carries a scorching, fiery essence. Combined with his Cultivation Technique, it’s remarkably overbearing.

This gaunt man is also a Fourth Realm Martial Artist, but he’s much stronger than Kong Xuan.

Ling Chen sidestepped, his body moving like a phantom, once again evading the gaunt man’s full-powered thrust.

Quick reflexes, the gaunt man thought, somewhat astonished. In my estimation, with his mere Martial Artist First Layer cultivation, he shouldn’t be able to keep up with my rhythm at all. Yet, he seems to be handling my moves with ease!

”Red Flame Fire Spear!”

The gaunt man locked his eyes on Ling Chen. He leveled his Long Spear, and as he swung his arm, the flames engulfing it intensified dramatically.

This was an Earth-grade, mid-rank Spear Method Martial Art comprising five moves. The gaunt man in black had completely mastered it, and when executed, it could unleash at least ninety percent of its full power.

WHOOSH!

The spear thrust out, creating a cloud of fire that reached Ling Chen in an instant.

Facing the scorching, explosive spear light, Ling Chen’s expression turned grave. He gripped his Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword tightly and swung it horizontally, striking the Long Spear’s tip. The impact jarred the spear, completely sealing off the gaunt man’s subsequent moves.

Then, he advanced rapidly, thrusting his sword diagonally upward toward the gaunt man’s right armpit.

The gaunt man’s expression shifted. He immediately spun his Long Spear, bringing its butt end crashing down toward Ling Chen’s back.

But Ling Chen evaded this strike; it merely grazed past his waist.

Growing increasingly annoyed from repeatedly missing, the gaunt man challenged, ”If you have any guts, stop dodging and fight me head-on!”

”Heh, your cultivation is so much higher than mine. Wouldn’t I be a fool to fight you head-on?” Ling Chen retorted with a sneer, unfazed.

”You think you can dodge forever?”

The gaunt man was truly enraged. First, Ling Chen had tricked him, and now he couldn’t even take the boy down. This made him extremely agitated.

He suddenly produced an object resembling a golden leaf, placed it to his lips, and blew. A peculiar sound echoed through the mountain’s interior.

The next moment, several long-horned grey wolves came into view, their glinting green eyes fixed on Ling Chen.

Controlling Exotic Beasts, huh? Ling Chen’s expression grew grave. With an Exotic Beast joining the fray, although my opponent’s combat strength won’t exactly double, it will increase substantially. Disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect can communicate with Exotic Beasts. This means I’m effectively facing two Fourth Realm Martial Artists.

Looks like I have no choice but to use the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique.

BOOM!

Just then, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently.

”What’s happening?”

Not only did the fight on Ling Chen’s side pause, but Lin Ya and Yang Hong, who were locked in a frenzied battle elsewhere, were also compelled to stop. The tremors intensified, making it seem as if the entire mountain mine was about to collapse.

As the surroundings quaked violently, the ambient temperature also began to skyrocket.

”There’s something down below!” Ling Chen exclaimed, his pupils constricting. He quickly leaped onto a higher rock. BOOM! Not far from his original position, the ground exploded, and a massive python, its body seemingly formed entirely from crimson rock, erupted from below, throwing the immediate area into utter chaos.
