Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 125: Chapter 124 Instant Kill_1

Yun Tianhe wore a gleeful look of anticipation. With Zhan Yu present, he absolutely didn’t need to lift a finger and could simply be a bystander.

”I have important matters to report to Elder Bai Kui now. If you two know what’s good for you, you should step aside.”

Ling Chen was worried about the Demon Elder who had escaped from the trap. If he were to encounter the latter again, he wasn’t confident of escaping from him once more.

”Haha, Ling Chen, you must be scared by now, even resorting to such a child’s trick. Dream on if you think you’re going to see Elder Bai Kui!”

Gathering his True Qi, Zhan Yu had already infused a third of his power into the Miao knife in his hand. ”Qimen Blade, Wind Dance!”

The moment his voice fell, Zhan Yu’s blade qi surged magnificently. His blade technique was very subtle, seeming to subtly merge with the way of Qimen in its dance. The fierce blade wind swept up a large amount of dead branches and leaves, which were then crushed into powder.

Without another word, Ling Chen used the Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword to flick a rock in front of him, which collided with Zhan Yu’s blade qi.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

The blade qi pierced the stone. In the blink of an eye, the stone broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Swift as the wind, Ling Chen had already leaped onto a large tree while flicking the stone, avoiding all the blade qi.

”Zhan Yu, you are no match for me. Why plunge yourself into danger for a woman? I will not show mercy this time.”

Ling Chen saw the shadow of Deng Lun in Zhan Yu. Undoubtedly, this is another poor guy being used by a woman.

”I’m no match for you? Where does your confidence come from? That’s laughable!”

Zhan Yu laughed, enraged. Being repeatedly looked down upon by Ling Chen had intensified his murderous intent towards him. In Zhan Yu’s eyes, Ling Chen’s advice was an undeniable affront to his self-esteem.

”Qimen Blade, Head Chop!”

Zhan Yu stomped heavily. The True Qi in his body surged like a galloping horse, boiling ceaselessly. Beneath his feet, a True Qi pattern resembling the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams appeared.

The moment he swung his blade at Ling Chen, the Bagua Pattern marched along with the blade qi, as if fused into one, and charged fiercely at Ling Chen, who was on the tree.

Facing the Bagua Pattern that howled towards him, Ling Chen just shook his head. Then, his eyes suddenly sharpened. The next moment, the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique activated, significantly boosting Ling Chen’s aura.

A breathtaking Sword Intent burst forth from Ling Chen’s body.

Ling Chen pushed the Mountain and Water Sword Intention to its absolute limit.

In this moment, Ling Chen went all out. This strike was his most potent.

”Seeing Dragon in the Field!”

With a slash of his sword, the song of the dragon rang out. As it emerged in an instant, a dragon shadow seemed to whirl beneath Ling Chen’s feet.

BANG!

The sword qi slashed at the Bagua Pattern, resulting in a shocking blast.

CRACK!

The Bagua Pattern was the first to give way, tearing apart and shattering. After breaking the Bagua Pattern, Ling Chen’s sword qi did not diminish, continuing towards Zhan Yu, striking him under his terrified gaze.

PFFT!

The sword qi struck Zhan Yu, sending him flying. It directly broke his breastbone. He was thrown backward through the air, leaving a trail of blood, and crashed heavily into a large tree, felling it.

”Impossible!”

Zhan Yu’s eyes widened as he spat out another mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs. He couldn’t believe that Ling Chen’s sword strike was so powerful, not only breaking his blade technique but nearly killing him.

WHOOSH!

Just as Zhan Yu was still struggling to accept the outcome, an arrow suddenly shot out, tracing a black trail through the sky before mercilessly piercing his chest.

With a THUD, Zhan Yu collapsed, dead on the spot.

Perhaps, until the very end, he couldn’t have imagined dying in such a way.

He’s dead?

Yun Tianhe was completely dumbfounded, as though he had lost his soul.

Zhan Yu, a Sixth-Stage Martial Artist, defeated by Ling Chen’s sword and killed in an instant!

His gaze shifted with difficulty. There, atop the large tree, was Ling Chen, bow drawn, having just shot the arrow that killed Zhan Yu.

Not a shred of sympathy could be seen in Ling Chen’s eyes. He had given Zhan Yu a chance, but unfortunately, Zhan Yu hadn’t appreciated it.

Ling Chen had no time to waste with Zhan Yu. The man had come intending to kill him. To resolve this quickly, Ling Chen had to eliminate him as fast as possible.

”Ling Chen! You deserve to die! Zhan Yu was a True Disciple! By killing him, you’ve committed a grave sin punishable by having your martial arts crippled and being expelled from the Sect!” After the initial horror, Yun Tianhe suddenly shouted.

”He tried to kill me first. I had no choice.”

Ling Chen jumped down from the tree, put away his Bow and Arrow, and once again drew his Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword. He walked towards Yun Tianhe. ”Today, I won’t just kill one True Disciple, but two.”

A cold aura seemed to emanate from Ling Chen’s face. Yun Tianhe caused all of these issues. This guy is always scheming against me from behind. I have to eliminate him, or he’ll become a major problem sooner or later.

”Ling Chen! What are you trying to do? My Master was right! You, the son of that witch, indeed harbor evil intentions and are always plotting against the Sect!” Yun Tianhe glared at Ling Chen and said sternly.

”I’m plotting against the Sect?”

Ling Chen sneered. This feels like a dog biting back. He looked at Yun Tianhe with amusement. ”Why don’t you admit to your collusion with Sima Yin and Long Jia? I suppose they only dared to act against me because they were under your orders.”

”Back then, I was the Young Sect Master, while Sima Yin and Long Jia were mere nobodies. If they weren’t instructed by someone, how could those two have dared to lay hands on me, even going so far as to throw my body off a cliff?”

”So what if I did?” Yun Tianhe retorted. ”Ling Chen, your mother, that demoness, colluded with the Saint Witch Religion and nearly destroyed the thousand-year foundation of the Divine Intent Sect! Besides, Supreme Sky Feather is dead. Keeping you, the son of that demoness, alive means you’ll eventually join the Saint Witch Religion and become a scourge to our Sect! Don’t you think you deserve to die?”

”Those soft-hearted Elders spared you only because you’re the son of Ling Tianyu. But sooner or later, you’ll betray the Sect and run into the arms of your demoness mother!” Yun Tianhe sneered.

”I don’t believe it. I don’t believe my mother could be the culprit. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. And my life, Ling Chen’s life, is mine alone to control! It’s not for you to decide with a few words whether I should be killed!”

Ling Chen remained impassive. I don’t believe my mother, Liu Xiling, could do such a thing. Instead, I suspect Ye Nantian is the true mastermind.

However, these are all just speculations for now. I need to quickly increase my strength, find my mother, Liu Xiling, and learn the truth.

As for Yun Tianhe... he’s tried to harm me repeatedly. I can’t let him live.

Ling Chen raised the Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword, ready to strike. Suddenly, not far away, a red firework burst open in the sky.

A distress signal!

Surprise flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. That’s the distress signal used by Divine Intent Sect disciples.

Normally, such a signal is only used in the most critical situations. We’re already near the outer edge of Black Wind Ridge; there shouldn’t be any overly powerful Exotic Beasts here.

Could it be the Demon Elder?

A shudder ran down Ling Chen’s spine.
