Ling Tian Sword God

Ling Chen originally did not want to reveal the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, but forced by desperation, if he does not reveal it, he has no confidence in defeating the two Half-Saint powerhouses.

At present, only the Water Heart Half Saint is here, and no members of the Ling Family are around, so even if the Water Heart Half Saint knows his trump card, it won’t make much difference.

Thus, Ling Chen decided to use the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique.

”So what if you’ve improved two minor realms? The gap between us is still insurmountable!”

The shock of Thousand Faces Venerable lasted only for a moment before his face returned to normal. Ling Chen’s strength had indeed increased greatly, but the vast chasm between them still existed. Thinking he could rival the two Half-Saints was simply dreaming.

”Is that so?”

Ling Chen’s lips curled into a smile, then with just a movement of his foot, his body’s momentum surged out, a mighty Sword Intent swept out, instantly enveloping the entire Void.

”Overestimating oneself!”

A cold light flashed in Thousand Faces Venerable’s eyes, and then his body suddenly moved. Instantly, countless face phantoms flew out, covering the sky and earth.

These faces, as if peeled off from living people, opened their mouths to spray smoke, completely filling the area around Ling Chen. This smoke was all tainted with paralyzing poison; if a normal person inhaled even a breath of it, their limbs would go numb, their nerves paralyzed, losing consciousness.

With this move, Thousand Faces Venerable has killed countless powerhouses, and even the White Dragon Half Saint whom he is impersonating now was killed by him in one move, after which he took over the identity.

Thousand Faces Venerable is determined to kill Ling Chen, extremely confident.

But he miscalculated, for Ling Chen has the Divine Dragon Jade, impervious to poison. Although the smoke was formidable and could undoubtedly invade the True Qi and flesh of a Half-Saint powerhouse, it couldn’t harm Ling Chen at all.

Using the cover of mist and countless faces, Thousand Faces Venerable swiftly moved, almost transforming into a shadow, rapidly approaching Ling Chen.

”Haha, boy, now let me show you my Thousand Faces Venerable’s skills!”

Thousand Faces Venerable looked at Ling Chen with a playful expression. In his perspective, Ling Chen must be dizzy by now, unable to find direction, let alone fend off his attack.

With a flick of his sleeve, a short blade coated in poison extended from Thousand Faces Venerable’s sleeve, slicing through the air towards Ling Chen’s throat.

The poisoned blade approached Ling Chen at alarming speed, and a ruthless smile appeared on Thousand Faces Venerable’s face. But just as the poisoned blade was about to pierce Ling Chen’s throat, the latter suddenly moved. Ling Chen simply shifted his step slightly, turned his body, and narrowly avoided the trajectory of the poison blade.

Shh!

The blade flashed, severing a lock of hair on Ling Chen’s forehead. However, the blade ultimately grazed past Ling Chen’s face without injuring him at all.

”What?”

Thousand Faces Venerable’s pupils shrank, a look of incredulity appearing in his eyes.

He couldn’t believe that Ling Chen could perfectly evade his sneak attack. Even a Half-Saint powerhouse wouldn’t be able to escape his strike, much less Ling Chen. For Ling Chen to dodge the attack so accurately, he was convinced that Ling Chen had seen through his offensive maneuvers clearly.

As the attack missed, a chill suddenly ran through his heart. Since Ling Chen had seen through his sneak attack so clearly, he knew it would not end with just dodging.

True to his expectations, just as he prepared to retreat, he suddenly felt a chill on his waist. After backing away several meters, he looked down to find a sword had unknowingly sliced through his waist, bloody and revealing the writhing innards beneath the sword cut.

This made Thousand Faces Venerable’s heart shiver with cold.

Another half-second slower and he likely wouldn’t have just suffered this wound but might have been sliced in half, dead with no burial place!

This young man is terrifying!

”What are you standing around for? Aren’t you going to join me in killing this boy?”

Regaining his composure, Thousand Faces Venerable turned to the black-clothed woman behind him, shouting sharply. At this point, if the two of them didn’t join forces to attack Ling Chen, there’s a high chance they might be defeated individually.

Having completely discarded his previous underestimation of Ling Chen, Thousand Faces Venerable dared not hold such thoughts again. Ling Chen’s sword just now nearly took his life. This boy absolutely possesses the ability to slay Saints, and he’s extremely wicked. His combination of Illusion Technique and poison moves had no effect on Ling Chen.

The black-clothed woman didn’t speak, merely nodded her head, then activated her True Qi. Already having gathered a True Qi skull before, she flipped her right hand, and another black skull formed. Two black skulls moved swiftly in the air, spewing very dense black fog, pressing toward Ling Chen.

As for Thousand Faces Venerable, he cautiously continued controlling the countless faces. However, after being cut by Ling Chen’s sword, he was evidently more nervous, not daring to approach Ling Chen easily. He just constantly used the face phantoms to fire various Hidden Weapons, launching a remote attack on Ling Chen.

With both attacking from the front and back, besieging Ling Chen, for a moment, the hundred-meter area around Ling Chen was filled with various smokes and poisonous fog, like cries and howls in hell, creating a scene as if demanding a devil. Meanwhile, Ling Chen’s figure gradually vanished within it, as if swallowed by evil spirits.

Not far away, seeing this scene, Water Heart Half Saint couldn’t help worrying. Even she, if besieged by two Half-Saints like this, would probably not be a match, let alone Ling Chen.

If the battle was decided quickly, Ling Chen might have some chance based on his exceptional talent and strength. But now, those two were clearly trying to wear Ling Chen down first, making the situation very unfavorable for Ling Chen.

Despite Ling Chen’s strength, he still only had the cultivation of Sky Apex Fourth Layer. Even if using powerful Secret Methods temporarily boosted it to Sixth Layer of Sky Apex, there was still a huge gap from the Half-Saint Realm. Once the battle drags on, it would undoubtedly be very detrimental to Ling Chen, after all, his cultivation is far less profound than the opponent’s.

”You should concern yourself with your own safety!”

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded near the Water Heart Half Saint’s ear, startling her. She turned abruptly, raising both hands to create a blue True Qi Barrier in front of her.

Dang!

As the blue barrier was formed, a claw light from the black-clothed man struck the barrier sharply. The blue barrier suddenly twisted and under the claw’s frenzied tearing, began to change shape.
