Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 533: Chapter 532: Blackwater City_1

While Black Sand Land was a chaotic territory, it was controlled by several powerful forces. Among them, Blackwater City was a control center for one such force—the Black Market.

Black Sand Land was originally a lawless zone, so many warriors flocked there to seek adventure. After all, the more dangerous a place, the more opportunities it often contained.

After separating from Bai Xu’an and others, Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue arrived at Blackwater City.

Built by the wealthy Black Market, the city was grand in scale. The black city walls stretched endlessly, emitting a cold, chilling vibe.

Ling Chen quietly sighed, his gaze turning to the crowd of fierce-looking individuals bustling past. He couldn’t help but feel curious. He had encountered many formidable individuals along the way, and judging by their routes, they were also heading for Blackwater City. With so many powerful, yet volatile and eccentric individuals converging in one city, this city probably won’t experience much peace.

Chaos was the most distinctive atmosphere of this Black Sand Land. No matter how powerful a faction was, it would be absolutely difficult to completely suppress the emergence of this chaos. The people of Black Sand Land completely disregarded any system or rules; having the bigger fist was the most important truth!

These thoughts flashed through Ling Chen’s mind, but he remained noncommittal. He didn’t reject chaos at all, because he knew that as long as one possessed sufficient strength in Black Sand Land, one would be a cut above the rest.

Ling Chen had already experienced this law of ’strength reigns supreme’ during his time with the Saint Witch Religion. It was just that this place was even more chaotic than the Saint Witch Religion. After all, there was no unified power managing it, and the Black Market was an organization solely focused on profit. Human lives here were probably as worthless as weeds.

The Dragon Demon Temple, bringing an Exotic Beast, probably wouldn’t come to such a prosperous and bustling place. That person has likely already fled, Ling Chen mused, surveying the grand city before him.

”If they’ve fled, there’s nothing we can do,” Liu Feiyue said, her beautiful eyes lighting up slightly. ”Since we’re already here, we can’t just return empty-handed. Blackwater City is the hub of the entire Black Sand Land. Many warriors sell the Treasures they’ve obtained through various means here. The markets here are exceptionally developed. So, when we occasionally come to Black Sand Land, we visit Blackwater City to try our luck.”

”Let’s go,” she added. ”Perhaps you will find something you need here.”

With that said, Liu Feiyue also headed towards the city gate.

Ling Chen nodded. Indeed, the Black Market’s trading posts were not to be underestimated; unexpected Treasures often appeared there.

Descending the slope and walking for a distance, a huge city gate appeared in Ling Chen’s sight. Outside the city gate, a long line of people was currently forming. The clamorous, noisy sounds spreading from there made one’s ears ring.

”Hey, this woman is really something! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such top-quality goods.”

”Tsk tsk, those breasts must feel great to touch! And those legs, I could play with them for at least a year!”

”If I could sleep with this woman, I’d be willing to give up ten years of my life!”

About ten burly men were gathered together, their lewd gazes constantly sweeping over Liu Feiyue’s body. Hearing their explicit words, the surrounding queuing crowd couldn’t help but burst into laughter filled with suggestive meaning. During the tedious wait, being able to see such a pleasing beauty being teased was considered a rather good form of amusement.

”Shut your stinking mouths, or don’t blame my sword for being merciless!” Liu Feiyue glanced at those few men, cold light flaring in her eyes as she shouted frostily.

”Oh, quite a spicy one.”

The few burly men were not only unafraid but became even more unbridled. Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue were walking together and clearly looked like two Sect Disciples. Arriving in Blackwater City, who are they trying to scare? they thought. It wasn’t as if their hands hadn’t been stained with the blood of Sect Disciples before.

Just some time ago, they had even killed a female Outer Sect Disciple from the Divine Intent Sect. That experience was truly delightful.

However, compared to the Liu Feiyue before them, that Outer Sect Disciple was far inferior, practically worlds apart.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyue was also about to draw her sword, her hand resting on the hilt, her killing intent roused.

”Senior Sister, why bother getting angry with a few scoundrels?” Ling Chen shook his head. This was, after all, the Black Market’s territory. Bai Xu’an had previously instructed them that it was best not to stir up additional trouble.

”Let’s go.”

Liu Feiyue nodded. They indeed had more important tasks. After the anger in her heart had somewhat dissipated, she proceeded towards the city gate.

”Tsk...”

Ling Chen’s action immediately drew disdainful scoffs from the surroundings. Black Sand Land revered the strong. An act like this, where a man did nothing while his woman was insulted, was what people despised the most.

”Haha, little lady, why follow such a man? Better to ditch him and come with us!”

”This kind of man is probably a spineless cur!”

Those few burly men, seeing Ling Chen’s action, were first stunned, then immediately burst into wild laughter. However, just as their laughter had barely faded, the bodies of the few men suddenly and bizarrely froze. Then,

BANG! BANG!

Low explosive sounds abruptly rang out, and then the noisy clamor in this area suddenly ceased. Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the several burly men who were suddenly sent flying backward out of nowhere, spewing blood wildly from their mouths, half-dead. Those few men had, in the blink of an eye, suffered such an inexplicable heavy injury.

After a moment, the surrounding circle of people suddenly retreated as if they had seen a ghost. Then, many people came to their senses, their gazes turning in terror towards the backs of Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue, who were slowly walking towards the city gate. Recalling that almost bizarre scene, a chill rose in all their hearts. They no longer dared to utter even half a laugh, afraid that such a bizarre scene would happen to them.

”Ling Chen, you...?” Liu Feiyue looked at Ling Chen with some surprise. She had seen very clearly just now that it was Ling Chen who had made a move.

”Not killing them was already merciful,” Ling Chen said faintly.

”Good. It saves us from attracting more flies.”

Liu Feiyue didn’t say much more. Ling Chen’s attack had deterred those ill-intentioned individuals. Now, if anyone still dared to harbor ideas, they would have to carefully consider their own capabilities.

This bizarre situation quickly spread through the long line of people. Then, one after another, horrified gazes fell upon Ling Chen, who was slowly walking towards the city gate. Wherever his steps passed, the people in the line hurriedly retreated a few steps.

Ignoring the surrounding horrified gazes, Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue walked straight towards the city gate, then directly towards a side door at the main gate. There, a dozen or so warriors dressed in gray, sturdy attire stood ramrod straight. The powerful aura emanating from their bodies made the queuing people nearby not dare to approach in the slightest. They could only lower their heads and wait for the stream of people beside them to slowly advance.

”You two, please halt.”

Seeing Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue approaching the side door, a Black Market warrior also stepped forward, intending to stop the two.

This door was specially established for the prominent experts of Black Sand Land. Not just any riffraff could pass through.

However, Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue didn’t say a word. Instead, the moment they arrived before the door, the aura from their bodies suddenly erupted. Especially Liu Feiyue’s terrifying Cultivation at the Great Master Ninth Level, nearing the Sky Apex Realm, instantly intimidated the gatekeeping warriors.

”Esteemed sirs, please enter!”

His expression solemn, the warrior who had previously stopped Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue stood ramrod straight, his eyes filled with reverence.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen also felt somewhat emotional in his heart. The law that strength was revered here was truly displayed to the fullest. No wonder Black Sand Land, though merely a tiny place, could attract a large number of experts to gather here.

After Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue entered the city, those few men in gray attire also looked at each other. ”Such young people, yet their Cultivation has reached such a terrifying level. Truly frightening.”

”Indeed. However, those few people they just dealt with seemed to be members of the Curled Dragon Gang, right? I’m afraid there’s a good show to watch now.”

”The Curled Dragon Gang is one of the local tyrants in Black Sand Land. Although they can’t compare to our Black Market, the leader of the Curled Dragon Gang is, after all, an expert at the Half-step Heavenly Extreme Realm level...”
