Ling Tian Sword God

SWISH!

With a powerful flap of its massive dragon wings, the Dragon Puppet took position. Ling Chen, standing atop the Dragon Puppet’s head, felt a fiery red glow surge in his hand. The Red Sky Sword in his grip flashed and then shot out like a streak of lightning. Its ferocious attack ruthlessly shot towards Shentu Yan, who was seated on the head of the Exotic Demon Beast.

His pupils contracting, Shentu Yan reached out with both hands. A burst of lightning shot out, coalescing in front of him into an electric net that successfully blocked the flashing crimson gleam.

However, the exploding Sword Light still scattered, raining down on the Exotic Demon Beast’s body.

ROAR!

Confronted with such a fierce attack, the Exotic Demon Beast unleashed a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar. Then, thick tentacles shot out from its body, causing the ground below to crack open, creating fissures hundreds of feet wide.

The two colossal figures collided violently. The Dragon Puppet bit fiercely while the Exotic Demon Beast’s tentacles shot out, sweeping over everything. Every clash seemed to possess the power to instantly shatter mountains.

In terms of raw power, Shentu Yan was clearly a notch stronger; after all, he was fused with the Exotic Demon Beast, while Ling Chen was only cooperating with the Dragon Puppet for the first time. However, the gap between them was not large. During their life-or-death struggle, both fought with extreme ferocity. Thus, in this melee, although Ling Chen and the Dragon Puppet continually sustained injuries, the Exotic Demon Beast also suffered considerable wounds under their frenzied assault.

Wherever their battle raged, the ground shattered and mountains were leveled. The fight instilled a chilling sense of apocalyptic upheaval in all who witnessed it.

The area was now incredibly chaotic; any stray shockwave could easily annihilate anyone present. The melee between the Divine Intent Sect and the Righteous and Devil Alliance had long since stopped. Everyone had retreated far away, terrified of being caught in the crossfire.

”Is it still impossible to defeat Shentu Yan like this?” Xia Yunxin’s jade-like hands clenched tightly. It had been more than twenty days since Shentu Yan attacked Green Cloud Mountain. They had sent wave after wave of people to fight him, yet none could defeat him, and many had nearly lost their lives. Now, Ling Chen had come out of seclusion for this final battle, but even he still seemed unable to defeat Shentu Yan.

”If Shentu Yan doesn’t die, the entire Martial World will turn into a human Purgatory…”

Long Zaitian, Feng Chibai, Liu Xin, and the others watched the fierce battle without blinking. If even Ling Chen can’t kill Shentu Yan, then there’s probably no one left in this world who can defeat him, they thought grimly.

BANG!

The black beastly paw, carrying a terrifyingly strong wind, swept over and smashed hard onto the charging Dragon Puppet’s body. A painful howl escaped the Dragon Puppet’s mouth, but its draconic eyes still surged with ferocious light. Its savage draconic maw bit ferociously into the Exotic Demon Beast’s body and, with a violent shake of its head, tore a huge, bloody gash on the beast’s arm.

SWISH!

Scorching Sword Light swept out, blanketing the area. Accompanied by a fierce gust, a sword gleam pierced directly through, striking the Exotic Demon Beast’s chest with lightning speed.

CHINK!

That incredibly sharp sword gleam could have pierced even a peak Seventh Realm Sky Apex expert, but when it struck the Exotic Demon Beast’s body, it only managed to penetrate five feet deep.

ROAR!

A dragon’s roar immediately followed. The massive dragon claw, dozens of feet in size, clenched and slammed fiercely onto the sword hilt. A ripple of power, visible to the naked eye, rapidly spread outwards.

Struck by such a powerful blow, the scorching sword gleam finally pierced through the Exotic Demon Beast’s body, emerging from its back.

ROAR!

A horrifying roar, filled with agony, erupted from the Exotic Demon Beast’s monstrous mouth. Atop it, Shentu Yan’s face also contorted with savagery.

Towering pillars of black light erupted from the Exotic Demon Beast’s three grotesque, giant mouths. Deep within these maws, an intense and terrifying energy fluctuation emanated, enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

Ling Chen, instead of retreating, advanced. Just as the Exotic Demon Beast was about to unleash its attack, he swung his Red Sky Sword. Simultaneously, three Sword Intents of different attributes materialized above his head. With Ling Chen’s slash, three distinctly different Sword Lights shot into the Exotic Demon Beast’s three giant mouths.

BOOM!

Before the terrifying power could erupt, the Exotic Demon Beast’s three giant mouths exploded. Flesh and blood disintegrated as a rain of black blood splattered down from the sky.

Already wounded by Ling Chen’s sword and now suffering such a horrifying backlash, the Exotic Demon Beast’s aura plummeted. At this moment, silver light erupted from the Dragon Puppet’s beastly eyes. Five sharp talons rapidly extended from one of its paws and ruthlessly dug into the Exotic Demon Beast’s heart region.

At this very moment, a cold, fierce light flashed in Ling Yin’s beautiful eyes. Her small hand suddenly clenched. The Dragon Puppet’s eyes also flashed fiercely. The claw embedded in the Exotic Demon Beast’s body abruptly ripped free. In its grasp was a large, black, dripping mass—it was the Exotic Demon Beast’s heart!

”Shentu Yan is finished!”

Seeing this, delight instantly lit up the faces of Liu Feiyue, Lin Ya, and the others. After fusing with the Exotic Demon Beast, Shentu Yan’s life became bound to it, they realized. Now that the Exotic Demon Beast has suffered a fatal blow from Ling Chen, Shentu Yan has undoubtedly suffered the same. He’s bound to die! This great demon is finally going to die!

”Damn it! How could I, This Seat, die at the hands of a little beast like you!” Shentu Yan’s face twisted as he roared madly. His life was linked to the Exotic Demon Beast; with its heart torn out by the Dragon Puppet, his own demise was imminent. He still had ambitions to unify the Martial World and dominate all under heaven! How could he possibly fall here, killed by Ling Chen?

”I refuse to accept this! Little beast, if you want to kill me, I won’t let you have an easy time! Let’s die together!”

A mouthful of black blood sprayed from Shentu Yan’s mouth. His eyes rapidly dimmed, and his body began to swell at an alarming rate.

”All of you, accompany This Seat in death!”

”Damn it! He’s going to self-destruct!” Ling Chen, seeing this, was instantly alarmed and shouted.

”What? Self-destruct?”

”Not good! Retreat quickly!”

Hearing the words ”self-destruct,” everyone was instantly terrified, scrambling to retreat and flee for their lives. If Shentu Yan’s colossal body were to self-destruct, everything within a radius of about three miles would likely be turned to rubble, leaving no survivors.

Ling Chen’s first instinct was also to retreat. However, he was the closest to Shentu Yan. The moment Ling Chen moved to fall back, Shentu Yan surged towards him, locking onto him completely. Clearly, Shentu Yan was determined to drag Ling Chen down with him, intending to perish together, regardless of anyone else.

”Damn it!” Ling Chen’s heart sank. He could no longer escape Shentu Yan. Am I really going to die at Shentu Yan’s hands today?
