Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 168: Chapter 167 Wang Shuang_1

”Treasures are appealing, but I’m afraid you’re not fated to possess them. Leave now before any conflict starts, and you may yet spare your life,” Ling Chen said indifferently.

”Haha, what a boast! Kid, who do you think you are to talk to me like that? You think you’re a Heavenly List Expert?” Wang Shuang sneered. He was confident in his own strength. Unless his opponent was a renowned Expert from the Heavenly List, no one else could best him. He was confident that beneath the Heavenly List, no one was his match.

If he could obtain the two pieces of equipment Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu held, perhaps he could use them to leap the Dragon Gate, his power skyrocketing, perhaps even enough to break into the Heavenly List.

”Unfortunately for you, he actually is.” A curious expression appeared on Xiao Muyu’s face. After defeating Yu Qingxuan, Ling Chen was now ranked on the Heavenly List.

”Haha, do you take me for a three-year-old, so easily fooled? A Heavenly List Expert? Just because you say so? If he’s a Heavenly List Expert, then I’m in the top ten of the Heavenly List!” The sneer on Wang Shuang’s face deepened. Do they think the Heavenly List is their family’s ranking, to enter as they please? Besides, how could a Heavenly List Expert be so young?

”If you don’t believe it, fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. Tangling with us won’t end well for you,” Xiao Muyu said, sticking out her tongue.

”Hmph! Since you refuse to hand over the treasures obediently, then both of you can die!” A malicious glint flashed across Wang Shuang’s eyes. He abruptly raised his sword, leaped high into the air, and thrust at Ling Chen from mid-air.

”Pretty thing, let us ’play’ with you.” At the same time, Wang Shuang’s remaining lackeys turned their attention towards Xiao Muyu, a lecherous gleam in their eyes.

”Let’s strip off her Soft Armor first!” One of the black-robed Disciples, unable to wait, shot forward. He lunged, hands like claws, trying to rip off Xiao Muyu’s clothes.

”Shameless scum!” Xiao Muyu was no ordinary person. She executed the Mysterious Trace Steps, skillfully evading the black-robed Disciple’s grasp. Then, her Juechen Sword swept out horizontally, sword qi bursting forth. The next moment, a sword gash appeared on the black-robed Disciple’s chest. He screamed, was sent flying backward, and fell unconscious.

”This girl’s tough! Everyone attack together! Kill her!” After witnessing this, the remaining men’s faces also filled with killing intent. Drawing their weapons, they charged at Xiao Muyu.

Meanwhile, on Ling Chen’s side, Wang Shuang’s attacks, though fierce, hadn’t harmed Ling Chen in the slightest.

After several of his sword strikes met only empty air, Wang Shuang grew frustrated and angry. ”Coward!” he shouted. ”Is dodging all you can do?”

”If your martial arts are only at this level, you’re not yet worthy of making me draw this Cloud-hidden Sword,” Ling Chen replied nonchalantly.

”Such arrogance! Take this—Fishing the Moon from the Water!” Wang Shuang executed his signature Sword technique. His Treasure Sword thrust out, then flicked upward unexpectedly, slashing fiercely toward Ling Chen’s groin.

The move was quite despicable, aimed at Ling Chen’s crotch.

”Still acting arrogant, brat? I’ll make you a Eunuch!” Wang Shuang laughed heartily, as if he had already visualized Ling Chen being castrated by his sword.

”Why don’t you be the Eunuch instead?” Facing the sudden sword strike, Ling Chen’s figure spun sharply, evading the Sword Light. Then, like a phantom, he smoothly advanced a step. The Cloud-hidden Sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, slashing out horizontally.

The sword qi extended two inches from the Cloud-hidden Sword as it passed between Wang Shuang’s legs.

Letting out a scream like a stuck pig, Wang Shuang’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. He instantly foamed at the mouth and collapsed, unconscious.

Ling Chen mused. Was that a bit too harsh? He hadn’t expected his light sword strike to have such devastating power. It seems being a Eunuch isn’t easy; it looks painful just to watch.

”Senior Brother Wang Shuang!” The black-robed Disciples cried out in shock, rushing to his side to help him up.

”Bastard! My manhood!” Wang Shuang had just woken up when he almost fainted again from rage. His lower body was already numb. Ling Chen’s sword strike had severed his ’life root,’ turning him into a true Eunuch.

”I only severed your ’life root’; consider it a favor. If you don’t scram now, you’ll leave your life behind as well.” There wasn’t a hint of pity in Ling Chen’s eyes. If this Wang Shuang still harbored any foolish ideas, Ling Chen wouldn’t hesitate to draw his sword and kill him. Killing such a person was nothing to hesitate about.

”Let’s go!” Wang Shuang struggled to his feet and, supported by several black-robed Disciples, fled the secret chamber.

”Ling Chen, why didn’t you kill them?” Xiao Muyu came forward. ”They were the ones who wanted to kill and rob us for our Treasures. Even if we killed them, it would have just been self-defense.”

”They’ve received their punishment; there’s no need to exterminate them. Besides, these few pose no real threat. Killing them or not makes little difference.” With that, Ling Chen sheathed his Cloud-hidden Sword.

I’m afraid those few don’t think that way, Xiao Muyu thought, secretly shaking her head. In her view, they should have been completely eradicated, leaving no loose ends.

「By then, Wang Shuang and his group had already fled some distance.」

”Senior Brother Wang Shuang, are you alright?” one of the black-robed Disciples asked.

”Alright? Do I fucking look like I’m alright?!” Wang Shuang was seething with uncontrollable rage. He slapped a nearby black-robed Disciple, sending him flying.

”That brat is too hateful! To injure Senior Brother Wang Shuang to such a... state! This enmity must be avenged if one is a man of honor!” another black-robed Disciple said hatefully.

”Of course!” A venomous look filled Wang Shuang’s eyes as he gritted his teeth. ”That bastard! I will definitely have my elder brother avenge me! Turn that brat into a Eunuch too, and then slice him into a thousand pieces!”

”But we don’t even know his name, and that brat was wearing a mask. We have no idea who he is,” a black-robed Disciple said.

”I’ve memorized his build and clothing, and that woman with him. They’re together. The Cloud-hidden Sword and that Soft Armor are in their hands. It won’t be hard to find them! Now, take me out of here immediately to get treatment, then find my elder brother, Wang Yan! I want to take revenge with my own hands!”

The moment Wang Shuang thought about how Ling Chen had crippled him, the hatred in his heart blazed fiercely. Damn it! From now on, he couldn’t even be with women, let alone marry and have children! As a young talent of considerable fame in the Martial World, he was now no longer a complete man but had become an utter laughingstock. And all of this was thanks to Ling Chen!

”Senior Brother Wang Yan is an Expert ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly List! With him taking action, that brat is undoubtedly dead!”

”That’s right! Let’s hurry and leave this place! Otherwise, if that brat changes his mind and chases after us, we’re doomed!” Dragging Wang Shuang, whose lower body was limp, the few of them, with panicked expressions, fled the place as if escaping for their lives.
