Ling Tian Sword God

”What kind of sword technique is this, able to withstand Tang Ze’s ’Heavenly Cunning Spell’?”

Murong Ying was taken aback. This strike from Ling Chen was a masterpiece of creation, embodying an extraordinary mood, as if boundless and continuous, truly like a living Blue Lotus, growing vigorously.

However, Tang Ze was clearly unsatisfied with the outcome. He retrieved his hidden weapon and then swiftly darted out, once again launching a fierce attack towards Ling Chen.

The Treasure Sword in his hand seemed to unsheathe itself, clashing once more with Tang Ze’s Sunflower Hidden Weapon, sparking a dazzling display.

The two figures intersected, from the sky down to the ground, even onto the water’s surface. At this moment, their battle was even more intense than the encounter between Murong Ying and Sima Linyuan, because compared to the latter two, these two were genuinely fighting to the death, holding nothing back, each move lethal.

Not far away, some members of the Prince Party and Green Mountain Association had already retreated, their eyes heavy as they watched the fierce confrontation above the sky.

Though they were extremely surprised that Ling Chen could last so long against Tang Ze, they also clearly understood that Ling Chen’s combat prowess was indeed not weak. If it were them instead, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance...

”But no matter how uncanny this kid is, it should end here,” a powerful member of the Prince Party said, biting his teeth with a sinister tone.

The others nodded at his words, being quite familiar with Tang Ze’s strength. Over the years, even some top experts in the Ninefold Realm of Sky Apex were no match for Tang Ze’s ”Heavenly Cunning Spell”, let alone Ling Chen, who had barely reached this point with some external means.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the bodies of the two combatants had separated. In mid-air, Tang Ze, covered in black runes, looked ahead with a dark and indifferent gaze, a torrent of murderous aura coiling around him, making him appear like an Evil Spirit from Hell.

Ling Chen also retreated several dozen steps. His young, slightly pale face was now wrapped in a cold aura. His eyes, as sharp as blades, were fixed on Tang Ze, a fierce intent rising from the depths of his pupils.

After a fierce exchange of twenty moves, Ling Chen was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

Although the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit was time-limited, similarly, the effects of the Bodhi Blood Pill that Tang Ze took would fade even faster, making this protracted battle more unfavorable for Tang Ze.

”I must finish this quickly.”

Their four eyes met, but Tang Ze wasted no words. The next moment, the air was suddenly torn apart, killing intent surged to the sky, his body covered in black runes pierced through space like an arrow, appearing above Ling Chen in a flash.

”Heaven’s Net!”

Tang Ze launched an attack from above, combining True Qi and hidden weapons to form an incredibly dense Heaven’s Net, descending towards Ling Chen.

Ling Chen remained calm, his figure unmoved, executing yet another Ascending Green Lotus. The so-called Heaven’s Net couldn’t break through the vigorously growing lotus, let alone suppress Ling Chen.

”This technique again? Let me see, if we compare the magnificence of True Qi, what can you use to contend with me!”

With light bursting from his eyes, the black runes on Tang Ze’s body wriggled frantically, an extremely violent wave of True Qi surged from within him, pouring into the Heaven’s Net, instantly causing the ferocious aura it emitted to escalate sharply!

Puff, puff, puff!

The pressure suddenly increased, causing the wind to explode on Ling Chen’s body. A flush spread across his face, as his body darted several dozen steps back, forcefully swallowing the sweet sensation rising in his throat.

With one strike, Tang Ze forced Ling Chen back, breaking through Ling Chen’s Green Lotus Sword Qi, intending to shatter Ling Chen beneath the lotus in one blow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Ling Chen coldly watched Tang Ze who charged fiercely towards him, and with a sudden stomp, the piercingly sharp Blue Lotus flipped, emanating a terrifying gleam. Instantly, the lotus leaves detached, enveloping Tang Ze like a torrential downpour.

Tang Ze was startled by the suddenness of the situation. The coverage of the lotus leaf sword qi was too vast, even his speed couldn’t evade it. Immediately, his arms folded, releasing viscous black True Qi to protect his body.

Chi, chi!

The lotus leaf sword qi swept over Tang Ze’s body. Although some were deflected, several sword qis still penetrated his defense, leaving bloody marks on his skin.

Enduring the storm-like attack, Tang Ze’s body swiftly retreated, escaping the attack range completely. He glanced at the slash marks on his body, his eyes instantly darkening.

However, just as his eyes grew dim, a figure swiftly approached like a specter, a spiraling crimson Sword Light struck Tang Ze’s chest like lightning.

Bam!

A violent force erupted, directly sending Tang Ze flying away.

”Damn it!”

A large area of his chest was charred and blackened, and waves of pain surged through it. Tang Ze’s eyes raged with anger. Watching Ling Chen advancing again, a hideous expression flashed across his face as he did not dodge or evade, charging straight ahead.

”Fight me head-on? Foolish creature!”

With a slight tremor, Tang Ze dispersed the Sword Energy transmitting to his arm, then grinned sinisterly at Ling Chen.

Swish!

Ling Chen gave him a cold look, wasting no words, and darted out again.

Seeing this, the grin on Tang Ze’s face grew even more savage. If Ling Chen tangled with him using those bizarre sword techniques, it might indeed take him some time to handle. But in his view, charging headlong was a path to doom.

The aura of intense savagery erupted from both figures, eager to tear each other apart. Blood occasionally spurted from where they crossed, making it indistinguishable whose it was. Yet, everyone knew that both were now entirely bloodthirsty.

The close-range blood fight caused onlookers’ hearts to pound and shiver from the core.

Bam!

Tang Ze’s eyes shone with a fierce light. He had entered a semi-feral state, punching Ling Chen’s chest, allowing the Fist Strength to penetrate Ling Chen’s organs, causing him to spew a mouthful of blood.

”Haha, kid, this is what you get for facing me head-on. Prepare to die!”

Looking at the seemingly exhausted Ling Chen, a cruel expression resurfaced on Tang Ze’s face. He fixed his gaze on Ling Chen, grinning, then viciously swung his fist again towards Ling Chen’s heart.

Ling Chen’s right hand swung his sword, bursting forth azure currents, altering the wind and clouds. Yet, this sword was oddly feeble, shattering entirely upon touching Tang Ze’s fist.

With another resounding crash, Tang Ze’s fist, in a flash of lightning, tore through the Void, landing heavily on Ling Chen’s chest.

Ling Chen’s body quivered violently, plummeting downward like a cannonball, causing the onlookers’ pupils to contract sharply.

”Ling Chen is defeated!”

The same thought arose in everyone’s minds.

However, Ling Chen himself, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Upon seeing that eerie smile, an ominous feeling surged within Tang Ze.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

A chill suddenly erupted from behind, causing Tang Ze to sharply raise his head. Above him, a shadow covered him—a massive Blue Lotus, unknown to him when it had formed, now crazily absorbing the energy of the Void, its fiercely brutal aura enveloping a hundred-meter radius completely!
