Ling Tian Sword God

”No worries, I can handle it myself.”

Ling Chen stopped Ye Ming from intervening. If he kept evading just Li Qing, it would make him seem cowardly.

”Be careful.”

Ye Ming chose not to intervene forcibly. He believed that even if Ling Chen was not his opponent, he would not lose too quickly.

”Haha, you’ve got some guts.”

Li Qing’s aura suddenly exploded—mountainous, vast, and incredibly heavy. As his aura spread, the surrounding crowd quickly retreated, leaving ample space for the two to battle.

BOOM!

With a spring from his knees, Li Qing launched himself from the ground. The thick Golden Mace in his hand slammed down. This strike wasn’t fancy, but it was heavy and powerful; the land along its path sank in a straight line as it smashed down.

Ye Ming’s expression shifted slightly. Ba Tian’s Golden Mace! This was Li Qing’s most famous asset. His Ba Tian’s Golden Mace was overwhelmingly powerful and heavy, its strength so boundless that ordinary geniuses could hardly resist it.

The Red Sky Sword was unsheathed. Ling Chen took a deep breath and shot straight up. The sword blade collided with the Golden Mace, and the two forces ground against each other, attacking and causing the colors in the Sky to change unpredictably. The echo of dull thunder rumbled continuously until a final, deafening clap separated the two.

A golden glow shone brightly. Ling Chen, holding his sword with both hands, charged towards Li Qing at high speed. The Red Sky Sword in his hand trailed a Sword Light resembling a crimson heavenly river. The Sword Light ribbon stretched longer and longer, the Sword Energy it contained uncannily terrifying. The sword fiercely struck the Golden Mace in Li Qing’s hand.

CLANG!

Brilliant sparks bloomed like flowers. Li Qing grunted, sent flying several li like an arrow.

”Damn it!”

Li Qing halted his momentum, his aura surging wildly.

”With your meager strength, you dare speak of capturing me? Let me capture you!”

Ling Chen’s Sword Momentum was like a rainbow as he struck again.

BANG!

Li Qing was once again sent flying several li.

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

The enraged Ling Chen was terrifying. In the spiritual world of the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall, he had slain hundreds of swordsman will entities. While his strength hadn’t improved noticeably, his combat style had become far fiercer. His combat techniques had also simplified, tending towards profound simplicity.

HISS!

The crowd followed the two closely. Seeing Li Qing utterly suppressed by Ling Chen, with no room to counterattack, they couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. Ling Chen was undoubtedly powerful, but even more shocking was his ferocious style. Li Qing, finding himself at a slight disadvantage, was forced into a continuous retreat, unable to find an opening to strike back.

This retreat spanned a hundred li. The only thing Li Qing could do was defend—desperately defend. Not defending meant defeat.

A mountain peak was sheared off. Blood streamed from Li Qing’s arms.

”You little beast, don’t push me too far!”

With a roar, Li Qing braced himself against Ling Chen’s Sword Qi onslaught. His back arched, and golden tiger stripes surfaced. The moment the tiger stripes appeared, Li Qing’s upper body swelled to twice its size, his back bulged like an iron plate, and his clothes shredded instantly.

”One Sword Burns the Sky!”

Ling Chen’s speed soared as he unleashed an unimaginably scorching Sword Light.

The Sword Light ripped through the Sky, carrying the extremely high-temperature power of Flames as it slashed towards Li Qing, its speed like a flash of lightning.

A loud sound erupted. This time, Li Qing only retreated a hundred meters.

”My turn! Watch me smash your head with this Golden Mace!”

A brutal smile etched on his face, Li Qing ignored his bleeding hand, which gripped the thick Golden Mace, and teleported away. He swung the Golden Mace towards Ling Chen. Behind him, black qi currents rumbled, vaguely revealing a fierce tiger amidst them. It sprawled across half the Sky, as if the entire space was mobilizing with his attack.

CLANG! CLANG!

The battle raged from the heavens to the ground, from land to the water’s surface. Wherever the pair went, dust and smoke filled the air, gigantic rocks fractured, and shards of stone soared into the Sky.

”Die!”

Li Qing possessed two Golden Maces but had only used one until now. As the battle reached a critical moment, he reached behind him with his left hand, drawing out the second thick Golden Mace and sweeping it out unexpectedly.

CLANG!

It was as if Ling Chen had eyes in his waist. His Red Sky Sword tilted, deftly blocking the incoming Golden Mace. As his sword collided with the opponent’s Golden Mace, brilliant sparks scattered instantly.

”Unexpected. Not only is Ling Chen’s talent exceptional, but his actual strength is also this outstanding.”

”This Li Qing isn’t simple either; he actually managed to turn the tables.”

”Li Qing’s Family possesses the Bloodline of the Exotic Beast, the ’Tianmo Tiger.’ They are also a renowned martial arts Aristocratic Family in the Nine Provinces. Once the Bloodline is activated, their strength multiplies. He’s not to be underestimated.”

The onlooking crowd buzzed with discussion.

BOOM!

The two separated once more.

”Ling Chen, you should be proud for pushing me this far. Next, I’ll have you kneel and beg for mercy!”

Li Qing stood upon a high mountain. Behind him, black qi currents relentlessly surged. Vaguely, it seemed as though numerous black fierce tigers were roaring within, as if brewing something. A faint black light appeared on the pair of Golden Maces he held.

Floating in mid-air, Ling Chen tightened his grip on his sword hilt, declaring coldly, ”I’m afraid the one kneeling and begging for mercy will be someone else.”

”Sharp-tongued whelp! Let’s see how long your arrogance lasts!”

CRACK!

The high mountain under Li Qing sank several meters, cracks spreading across its surface. Li Qing spread his arms, and at the tips of his two Golden Maces, a sphere of Black True Qi, about the size of a thumb, began to form. It spun wildly, emitting horrifying wailing sounds. Amidst that sound, black lightning arced out.

This was a sign of power compressed to its absolute limit.

”This move will make your blood splatter five steps around! Tiger-shaped Penetrating Kill Wave!”

WHOOSH!

Stomping and shattering the mountaintop, Li Qing flickered, reappearing dozens of meters before Ling Chen. He raised both arms high, and the two thick Golden Maces swung down fiercely. As they descended, the tips of the Golden Maces collided. With a loud BOOM, the Sky suddenly darkened. The Energy at the tips of the Golden Maces fused, transforming into a black Energy wave that bombarded Ling Chen. This Energy wave, like an enraged Black Dragon carrying black lightning, was utterly unstoppable, charging as fast as a thunderbolt.

”Die!”

Li Qing’s face twisted into a cruel smile.

The Tiger-shaped Penetrating Kill Wave is my ultimate move! That black lightning possesses terrifying destructive power. A mere strand is enough to annihilate a mountain peak. Launching it from such close range, Ling Chen has absolutely no hope of blocking it!

”Break for me!”

Ling Chen neither retreated nor dodged. Resheathing the Red Sky Sword and drawing the Thunder Shadow Sword, a Sword Qi Lotus condensed and formed before him. It rapidly grew and bloomed fiercely.

BOOM!

The black Energy wave and the Sword Qi Lotus collided in a flash, instantly warping the surrounding space, shaking the earth and trembling the mountains. Right after the deafening noise, mountains within a radius of several li were razed to the ground. Countless shattered rocks and pulverized flora were swept high into the air by a terrifying vortex of Air Energy. CRACKLE! POP! The debris was instantly obliterated by arcs of azure and black lightning.

RUMBLE!

Only then did the black Energy wave and the Sword Qi Lotus finally unleash their cataclysmic might. An overwhelmingly violent storm of lightning and thunder engulfed them both.

FWOOSH!

Li Qing burst out from the pillar of thunder and lightning, a large amount of blood gushing from the corner of his mouth. He roared, ”Impossible! You actually blocked my Tiger-shaped Penetrating Kill Wave!”
