Ling Tian Sword God

”Two Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts! That’s equivalent to two Top Sky Apex Strong, around the Sky Apex Realm Third Layer.”

Jiang Yunting stood atop the city wall. Upon noticing Ling Chen under siege by the Winged Tiger Beast and Emperor Lion Gryphon, he frantically looked in their direction, his heart pounding with anxiety.

In an environment teeming with Exotic Beasts, even a slight mishap could result in becoming their prey.

Escape would be impossible.

”Heavenly Fire Burning Plains!”

With one swing of the sword, a blast of fire erupted.

SQUELCH!

The Winged Tiger Beast approached swiftly but died just as quickly, its head sliced in half by the sword qi.

The other, an Emperor Lion Gryphon, swiftly positioned itself above Ling Chen, aiming its razor-sharp claws at his head.

Dodging narrowly, Ling Chen swerved sideways, avoiding the beast’s glowing claws, but the fierce wind pressure thrust him off the back of the Qingfeng Jue.

Fortunately, Ling Chen reacted quickly. As he fell, he grabbed onto the Qingfeng Jue’s claw, suspending himself mid-air. His eyes glinted sharply, and the Red Sky Sword in his hand instantly transformed into a bolt of fiery light.

SQUELCH!

Executing ’Plucking Chestnuts from the Fire,’ Ling Chen’s Sword Light fiercely pierced the Emperor Lion Gryphon’s abdomen, leaving a large, charred hole.

With a sorrowful howl, the life in the Emperor Lion Gryphon’s golden eyes dissipated, and it plummeted from the sky.

After defeating the two Fourth Grade Exotic Beasts, Ling Chen urged his Qingfeng Jue toward the Elder of Myriad Beasts, moving like an arrow loosed from its string.

”Hmph, seeking your own death!”

Seeing Ling Chen charging toward him, the Elder of Myriad Beasts’ face darkened. He roared, and it felt as if his Bloodline had erupted. His veins turned pitch black, as if some dark blood now circulated rapidly within his body.

As the black blood circulated, four True Qi Shields materialized around the Elder of Myriad Beasts. Each shield was imprinted with the head of an Exotic Beast: a Dragon, a Tiger, a Lion, and a Leopard. The four beast heads on the shields roared wildly, their cries thunderous.

SKRITCH!

As Ling Chen’s Sword Light stabbed one of the True Qi Shields, a brilliant shower of sparks erupted. Millions of tiny sparks shot out, like stars colliding in a frenzied dance.

”Scram!”

The Elder of Myriad Beasts’ eyes emitted a cold light. A gigantic dragon head emerged from the shield, snapping fiercely, trying to engulf Ling Chen whole.

”Unrivaled Under the Heavens!”

”Seeking Defeat With All Heart!”

An overbearing aura erupted from Ling Chen. Driven by the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, his Cultivation broke through to the Sky Apex Realm Second Layer. Simultaneously, his Sword Light flared, and he swung his sword twice in quick succession, striking the same spot on the dragon-mouthed Shield.

CRACK!

With the second strike, the Shield cracked; Ling Chen had shattered it head-on.

What?

The Elder of Myriad Beasts was startled. He never thought this inexperienced youngster could break through his True Qi Demon Armor.

After shattering the True Qi Demon Armor, Ling Chen’s Sword Light arrived in an instant, aimed at the Elder of Myriad Beasts’ throat.

”Beast King Fist!”

A beast seemed to howl from within him as the Elder of Myriad Beasts roared. His fist shot forward, black Fist Strength erupting like a laser beam, forming a massive beast head at its tip.

CLANG!

The punch struck the Sword Light, and a metallic clang reverberated through the sky. Ling Chen was sent flying by the Fist Strength’s impact. However, as Ling Chen retreated, a gleam flashed in his eyes. The Red Sky Sword in his hand shone with red light, like a meteor, suddenly piercing the Void and blasting out.

The Sword Light seemed to bridge the distance in an instant. By the time the Elder of Myriad Beasts reacted, the burning, meteor-like Sword Light was already before him.

BANG!

The Elder of Myriad Beasts couldn’t react in time and took the sword strike directly to his chest. He vomited blood and was sent flying from the head of the Exotic Demon Beast.

”My pet, tear him apart!” the Elder of Myriad Beasts roared at the Exotic Demon Beast, even as he was blasted backward.

The Exotic Demon Beast locked its copper bell-like eyes on Ling Chen. A sudden cruel gleam appeared in its eyes. It remembered this human clearly; he had almost taken its life twice.

The first time was in the Blood Refining Sect. It had still been an embryo, and Ling Chen had nearly killed it then. The second time was in the Black Sand Land, where Ling Chen had again almost ended its life. If not for the protection of the Dragon Demon Temple’s guards, it would have already died at Ling Chen’s hands.

ROAR!

With a sharp howl, the Exotic Demon Beast spewed a beam of black light straight at Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s face instantly hardened. He slashed out horizontally with the Red Sky Sword, and with a CRACK, split the black light beam in two.

SIZZLE...

However, the black light beam clearly carried a strong corrosive property. Even the Red Sky Sword was slightly corroded. This level of corrosiveness was something even a Holy Tier Treasure Sword could not withstand.

Even the clothes on his shoulders were corroded, leaving large holes.

Such strong corrosive power.

Ling Chen was taken aback. This Exotic Demon Beast had not only grown significantly in power, but its attacks had also become incredibly tricky, now incorporating corrosive properties.

SWOOSH!

Despite its huge body, the Exotic Demon Beast’s agility was unhindered. Its body suddenly leaped like a giant frog. It opened its fetid mouth and spat out a tongue tens of meters long, which swept towards Ling Chen.

The Exotic Demon Beast’s body was a full thirty meters high, making it huge and formidable. Before it, Ling Chen, even mounted on the Qingfeng Jue, was insignificant by comparison.

Having learned his lesson, Ling Chen anticipated the attack and dodged the tongue’s sudden strike. Then, with a move, he leaped onto the tongue. Tapping his feet repeatedly, he made several bounds and reached the top of the Exotic Demon Beast’s head.

Dragon Seeking Sword Technique, Prosperity and Decline!

ROAR!

A dragon phantom suddenly appeared, letting out an earth-shattering roar in mid-air before completely merging into the Sword Light Ling Chen released. The Sword Light blazed, like a Heavenly Sword slashing out.

When the Sword Light reached its peak, it fiercely pierced the Exotic Demon Beast’s head. SQUELCH! The Sword Light entered the Exotic Demon Beast’s body but only penetrated about three inches deep before it could go no further.

Roaring in pain, the Exotic Demon Beast shook. All the vicious spikes on its body vibrated violently and then shot out one by one, flying densely towards Ling Chen.

Ling Chen’s expression changed. He leaped from the Exotic Demon Beast’s head, rapidly swinging the Red Sky Sword to block the incoming spikes. Brilliant sparks erupted in the air, forming a fiery circle.

BOOM!

The Exotic Demon Beast’s eyes turned bloodshot. Its body trembled violently, causing the very ground to shake. Its flesh writhed, and then black tentacles shot out, unfurling through the air to envelop Ling Chen.
