Ling Tian Sword God

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As soon as the words were spoken, the three young experts from the Prince Party, Gu Tong, Hua Buxu, and Bai Qi, also made their moves, launching a fierce attack, each targeting Ye Ming and his two companions.

Even though Ye Ming and the others were unwilling to engage in battle, these three opponents were not ordinary, leaving them no choice but to go all out.

Meanwhile, Tang Ze’s gaze was fixed on Ling Chen from the beginning, and at this moment, he saw Ling Chen as a trapped beast that could not escape his grasp.

”Ling Chen, considering your talent isn’t bad, I’ll give you a chance now. Join the Prince Party and become my lapdog, and I’ll spare your life. How about that?”

Tang Ze’s face showed a mocking smile.

”Sorry, I’m not like you, so fond of being someone’s lapdog.”

Ling Chen replied with a faint smile.

”What did you say?”

Tang Ze’s smile suddenly froze, as Ling Chen was mocking him as the Heavenly Sword Sect’s lapdog. This kid, like an ant, dared to mock him instead of begging for mercy. Unbelievable.

”Since you want to die, I’ll take care of you first, and then bring your corpse back!”

The killing intent in Tang Ze’s eyes seemed to solidify. He suddenly extended his palm, and his True Qi, carrying an overwhelming force like heavenly thunder, poured into the Metal Sunflower Hidden Weapon in his hand.

”Die!”

With a shout, the Metal Sunflower Hidden Weapon in Tang Ze’s hand shot out abruptly, accompanied by a series of low, explosive sounds in the air.

Facing the terrifying hidden weapon coming furiously from the sky, Ling Chen moved forward instead of retreating. The Red Sky Sword at his waist unsheathed in an instant, and a streak of Sword Light flashed out like lightning.

Clang!

The Sword Light struck the Sunflower Hidden Weapon, and in a moment, the weapon disintegrated into twelve dense petals raining down like flowers in a storm, attacking Ling Chen.

Clink clink clink clink!

Holding the Red Sky Sword, Ling Chen used the Speed Sword Domain. After comprehending the Thunder Intent, his sword speed had increased significantly. Each sword in the Speed Sword Domain became more accurate and fierce, precisely hitting each petal.

The force spread, and Ling Chen’s shoulder barely trembled as he deflected the twelve petals. Lifting his head to look at Tang Ze not far away, he said calmly, ”Wanting my life? I’m afraid you’re not qualified yet!”

”Heh, I want to see if you’re still this stubborn after being beaten to the ground later.”

Tang Ze sneered, a fierce light flickering in his eyes. His back trembled, and a pair of Puppet Wings unfolded. With a flap, his speed soared, and in an instant, he retracted the hidden weapon and recombined it before flashing in front of Ling Chen again, striking out with the Sunflower Hidden Weapon.

As the Sunflower Hidden Weapon was launched, the flower seemed to rotate at high speed, as if it could shred anything in its path.

Facing Tang Ze’s storm-like attack, Ling Chen’s eyes glinted coldly. This peculiar hidden weapon was problematic but not without flaws.

Infusing the Red Sky Sword with True Qi, Ling Chen swung it out. He opened his palm and used it to hold the Red Sky Sword, which started spinning rapidly in his hand.

The rapidly spinning sword blade and the high-speed revolving Sunflower Hidden Weapon intertwined, sparking brilliantly between them.

Though Tang Ze’s fierce attack was still aggressive, everyone could see that Ling Chen had already neutralized it!

”To think he resolved Tang Ze’s attack with just sword techniques, truly a prodigy.”

Ye Ming marveled in his heart.

The power of Tang Ze’s move was apparent, and even he might not be able to fend it off so calmly, yet Ling Chen did it.

Others were also stunned. They had thought Ling Chen wouldn’t last long against Tang Ze and would quickly be defeated, but Ling Chen handled Tang Ze’s fierce attack calmly without showing any signs of defeat.

Bang bang bang!

Crash crash crash!

In the sky above, dozens of figures were engaged in intense battles. Each clash sent terrifying winds shattering the surrounding rocks and disrupting rivers, the piercing sound of breaking wind echoing continuously.

”Hmph! You’re tougher than I imagined, kid, but it’s pointless; you must die today!”

Seeing his attack unable to harm Ling Chen, Tang Ze wasn’t too anxious. The earlier tactics were just to test Ling Chen’s strength. After testing him, Tang Ze would know how strong Ling Chen was and how to defeat him quickly.

The probing was over.

Boom!

A powerful wave of energy burst from Tang Ze, skyrocketing to the peak of the Seventh Realm of Sky Apex, then breaking through to the Eighth Heaven!

”What, this guy has already reached the Eighth Heaven realm?”

Feeling the powerful aura Tang Ze released, both Sima Linyuan and Ye Ming, along with others, were astonished, their expressions quickly turning grim.

”What’s so surprising? I broke through to the Eighth Heaven a month ago, but I’ve been concealing my aura to surprise you. How’s that? Surprised?”

Tang Ze smiled coldly, looking at Ling Chen with a mocking expression, ”Kid, are you feeling despair and helplessness now?”

Paying no heed to Tang Ze’s theatrics, Ling Chen was quickly devising a strategy in his mind. If Tang Ze’s strength was still at the previous level, he might have a chance to fight back, but now that Tang Ze’s power had surged, his rank on the Hidden Dragon List would surely exceed sixteenth. Facing him head-on seemed unrealistic now.

Moreover, Tang Ze’s hidden weapon ”Sky Full of Flowers” likely held more power than it appeared.

”I must use that item.”

Ling Chen’s decision took only a moment. With a flip of his palm, a flash of green light appeared, revealing a metallic tube and a peacock feather that emitted light.

It was the Peacock Plume Ling Yin left before she departed.

The Peacock Plume was risky to operate, but with Tang Ze pressing hard, Ling Chen couldn’t care less.

”What’s this thing? A child’s toy?”

Seeing the Peacock Plume, Tang Ze’s eyes filled with ridicule. He didn’t associate this crude hidden weapon with the super weapon of Tang Sect, the ”Peacock Plume.”

Disregarding Ling Chen, Tang Ze’s figure flashed again, appearing ten meters in front of Ling Chen and launching the hidden weapon.

With his right hand holding the sword, Ling Chen blocked the metal petals while stealthily channeling True Qi into the Peacock Plume with his other hand, activating the ancient runes on it.

”A mantis trying to stop a chariot!”

A cold gleam flashed in Tang Ze’s eyes as he suddenly pointed a finger, shooting a poison needle towards an opening in Ling Chen’s defense. ”Pfft,” the poison needle penetrated, embedding in Ling Chen’s body.

”It’s over.”

Seeing Ling Chen hit by Tang Ze’s poison needle, Sima Linyuan and the others felt a heaviness in their hearts. They were all held off by formidable foes, unable to rescue him. It seemed Ling Chen was doomed today.
