Ling Tian Sword God

Ten miles away from the Fire Capital, a large dark shadow loomed, its terrifying aura gathering a dark cloud in the sky above it.

The majority of the shadow’s body was shrouded in the dark cloud; the exposed flesh was extremely hideous. Compared to its previous form, this Exotic Demon Beast had transformed significantly. Its body, from head to tail, was covered in sharp fangs. From the crevices of its flesh dripped a viscous black liquid. Wherever the liquid fell, all flora withered, void of life.

Heh, after we attack and conquer the Fire Capital, and consume all its strong warriors, the power of the Exotic Demon Beast will undoubtedly reach a new level.

Atop the Exotic Demon Beast, there was a powerful figure; this figure was the Elder of Myriad Beasts.

Throughout their journey, he and the Exotic Demon Beast had swept through more than half of Fire Country. The beast had evolved to the point where it could control many Exotic Beasts. Not only that, but it could also stimulate the Violent Factor within them, triggering a complete beast rampage.

Using the Beast Tide, they decimated dozens of cities and hundreds of towns and villages. Wherever they passed, no grass grew, and all humans were wiped from existence. The slightly stronger ones were killed by the Elder of Myriad Beasts and subsequently became food for the Exotic Demon Beast.

The Fire Capital, as the capital city of the Fire Country and one of the largest cities among the Five Kingdoms, was home to millions of people and tens of thousands of warriors. If all were to be consumed, the Exotic Demon Beast would undoubtedly be able to advance to a higher level.

When that time came, he would sweep the entire land of the Five Kingdoms with the Beast Tide, and he would become the Dominator of the entire Martial World!

With this in mind, the corner of the Elder of Myriad Beasts’ mouth pulled into a cold smile.

At this moment, atop the city wall of the Fire Capital.

Ling Chen looked at the huge shadow in the distance, shrouded in the hazy black fog, his expression turning grave. He could feel an extremely violent fluctuation emanating from the shadow.

”Jiang Yunting, you defend the city wall. I’ll be right back.”

Turning his head towards Jiang Yunting, Ling Chen whistled sharply, and the Qingfeng Jue flew towards him in response. With a smooth leap onto the Qingfeng Jue’s back, Ling Chen shot towards the shadow.

”Be careful, Sect Leader!”

Before Jiang Yunting could react, Ling Chen was already on the back of the Qingfeng Jue, flying out like an arrow.

In front of Ling Chen, there were countless Exotic Beasts.

Suddenly, a horde of Flying Monsters swooped down.

Ling Chen looked up to see a large group of beasts in the near distance: Tier-2 Exotic Beasts such as the Scarlet Refinement Bird, Blood Crow, and Firebird; Third Grade Demonic Beasts like the Twin-headed Bird and Four-clawed Eagle—there were too many to count. They formed a massive black cloud that could tear apart hundreds of people in an instant.

”Dragon Soars in the Sky!”

The Red Sky Sword appeared in his hand, and Ling Chen swung his sword towards the most densely populated direction of Flying Monsters.

The next moment, mixed with Flames of True Qi, a wind tornado roared and swept past, sword qi spraying out. Whether they were Tier-2 Flying Monsters or Third Grade Flying Monsters, they all fell from the sky, burned to a crisp, like a sudden torrential downpour of charred bodies.

”He killed dozens of Flying Monsters with one strike!”

The many warriors on the city wall had their eyes wide open. So many Flying Monsters were killed cleanly with just one strike. This person was young; they had initially assumed he was like a moth drawn to a flame, not expecting him to be so powerful.

However, Ling Chen’s strike did not completely repel the flock of Flying Monsters. Instead, more Flying Monsters flew up, hundreds of them, emitting sharp cries. Like a violent tornado, they surrounded Ling Chen.

Ling Chen stood on the back of the Qingfeng Jue, his clothes billowing but not in disarray.

Just as numerous Flying Monsters were closing in, the Qingfeng Jue beneath Ling Chen sensed danger. Its eyes suddenly glowed red, and it began to furiously flap its wings. All at once, two cyclones emerged, blowing away all the approaching Flying Monsters. Those creatures that were too close were even blown to death, their bodies and wings shattered.

The Qingfeng Jue was indeed a Tier-4 Elementary Beast, equivalent to a Top Sky Apex Strong among humans. Although this type of beast was somewhat gentle by nature and not skilled at fighting, it didn’t mean it couldn’t fight back. The onslaught of these weaker Tier-2 Flying Monsters and Third Grade Flying Monsters undoubtedly infuriated the Qingfeng Jue.

Having blown away the mob of attacking Flying Monsters, Ling Chen suddenly swung the Red Sky Sword in his hand. An instant later, he cleaved a path of flames ahead in the Void. Wherever the flaming path reached, all the Flying Monsters exploded and turned into ashes.

The Qingfeng Jue shot along the path of flames, breaking through the heavy encirclement, and left the swarm of Flying Monsters behind.

”Impressive, he managed to break out. Who is he?”

”I don’t know what he aims to accomplish. Everyone else is defending the city, why is he rushing out? Does he plan to repel the Beast Tide all by himself?”

”No way. Even a Top Sky Apex Strong wouldn’t have such ability.”

On the city wall, the warriors were engaged in a heated discussion.

At this point, Ling Chen’s gaze had settled on the black shadow not far away. His eyes slightly narrowed as he finally got a clear look at the shadow’s form.

As expected, it’s that Exotic Demon Beast!

Ling Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted. As he had expected, the culprit behind all this disturbance was the same Exotic Demon Beast that he had failed to kill earlier.

This beast possessed an evolution ability. Ling Chen could clearly sense that the Exotic Demon Beast’s aura had become much more powerful now. It was probably at the Fourth Rank Middle Stage level, equivalent to the 4th or 5th Heavy Sky of the Sky Apex Realm.

The last time Ling Chen saw this Exotic Demon Beast, it hadn’t even reached the Fourth Grade but was only a mere Third Grade Demonic Beast.

”So it’s you, kid. Hmph, I intended to deal with you last, but since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, I won’t be polite. I’ll gladly take your life!”

The Elder of Myriad Beasts caught sight of Ling Chen, and a menacing look flashed in his eyes. Ling Chen had killed his disciple. He would have taken Ling Chen’s life long ago if he hadn’t been stopped by the Cyan-robed Guest.

No matter. Killing Ling Chen now and allowing the Exotic Demon Beast to devour him would certainly cause the beast’s strength to increase significantly.

”If you want my life, it remains to be seen whether you have the ability,” Ling Chen retorted, a sharp glint in his eyes.

If the Elder of Myriad Beasts and the Exotic Demon Beast were not eliminated, they would be a great catastrophe for the entire Martial World.

”You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin!”

The Elder of Myriad Beasts sneered coldly. Then, he waved his hand, and two Flying Monsters suddenly darted out from behind him. Emitting an extremely fierce aura, they pounced ferociously towards Ling Chen.

One of them was a winged White Tiger. It spewed black fog from its mouth, its Demon Qi soaring to the sky. The other, entirely golden, possessed the body of a lion and the head of a vulture. A noble Bloodline emanated from it. Golden beams shot from its eyes, aimed directly at Ling Chen.

”A Tier-4 Elementary Beast, the Winged Tiger Beast!”

”A Tier-4 Elementary Beast, the Emperor Lion Gryphon!”
