Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 943: Chapter 942: Forced Retreat

However, facing this absolute disadvantage, Ling Chen’s expression did not change at all. Until the moment when that fierce fist strength was about to blast towards him, Ling Chen finally lifted his eyes, and a golden light suddenly flashed within them. In that instant when the golden light flickered, two golden beams suddenly shot out from Ling Chen’s eyes.

The two beams were like electric currents, faster than the speed of electricity, and in the blink of an eye, they hit Li Tailong’s eyes and penetrated them.

At that moment, Li Tailong’s body suddenly stiffened.

The Dragon Form Fist strength that was about to hit Ling Chen froze bizarrely in that instant!

The freeze lasted only for a moment, but in a battle between experts, that moment was crucial.

Swish!

And at the moment of the Dragon Form Fist strength, Ling Chen’s figure, like a ghost, passed by Li Tailong’s body.

Bang!

The Dragon Form Fist strength struck a nearby shop fiercely, collapsing the entire building.

When Li Tailong’s eyes regained clarity, he found that the fist he had been clenching had somehow already loosened, and the blue bracelet he was holding was nowhere to be seen.

He suddenly turned around, only to see Ling Chen already standing not far behind him, holding the blue bracelet firmly in his hand.

The bracelet had already fallen into Ling Chen’s hand.

Everyone around them was slightly agape, and Li Yunhe and Li Tianyi, in particular, stared wide-eyed in shock as if they were drowning.

A gentle breeze swept through the scene, stirring up a wisp of dust which then drifted away, leaving behind a group of people in stunned silence. What they thought would be a spectacular confrontation ended in just a moment.

The outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations, including Li Tailong’s. Hence, when he saw the bracelet in Ling Chen’s hand, his face suddenly turned sullen.

He had just bragged about how he would show Ling Chen, but before he could showcase his abilities, the fight had ended, leaving him with a sense of frustration from having no outlet for his strength.

”This kid...”

In the distance, Liu Mengru’s lake-like eyes were filled with a ripple of shock at that moment.

”What happened?”

Peerless Sword also looked seriously at the silent area in the distance and then, after a moment, spoke in a voice filled with confusion. The suddenness of the event had caught even him off guard, making it hard to grasp what had happened.

”He used some extremely special technique that caused Li Tailong to lose focus for a moment, during which he avoided Li Tailong’s attack and conveniently took the bracelet.” The girl in green slowly said, her clear eyes focused on the young figure in the distance.

”Oh?”

Peerless Sword’s expression changed slightly. Causing Li Tailong to lose focus for a moment required a technique far from ordinary. In combat, a moment of distraction could be fatal.

”I heard that the Ling Family had a top-level martial art called the Gold Sword Pupil, which no one has mastered for over a hundred years. It’s said to surpass even the Ling Family’s highest art—the Sky-breaking Sword Technique.”

At this time, Sima Xiaoyao’s face showed a solemn expression as he continued, ”Could it be that martial art Ling Yu just performed was the Gold Sword Pupil?”

”Quite possible.”

The girl in green blinked her long lashes lightly, and her slightly lowered eyelids concealed a hint of surprise in her eyes. The series of events earlier had been enough to shock many people.

”It seems the Ling Family hid a dark horse this time...”

Liu Mengru also smiled.

”Thank you for letting me win.”

Ling Chen swung the bracelet in his hand and then handed it to Lan Xingling.

As Ling Chen’s calm voice spread across the silent area, everyone’s expressions began to become lively, and eyes naturally turned towards Li Tailong. At this moment, his face was similarly shifting unpredictably, the darkness in his eyes so dense it couldn’t be dispelled.

This young top genius of the Imperial Clan had just been thoroughly humiliated, slapped in the face publicly, and left utterly disgraced.

In that moment of flashing light and shadow, even Li Tailong himself only felt his body suddenly freeze for an instant, then briefly lost consciousness, throughout which he never even touched the hem of Ling Chen’s clothes!

This was utterly humiliating for Li Tailong!

He had come here making a scene, as if he wanted to rub Ling Chen into the ground, and now, how could he possibly back down?

”Damn it, I’ll cripple you!”

Li Tailong’s expression shifted unpredictably as he glared angrily at Ling Chen, speaking in a low tone.

”What, planning to go back on your word?”

Seeing his vicious expression, Ling Chen lightly shook his head with ease, ”As expected, your Imperial people do talk out of their asses, don’t they?”

As these words were spoken, many spectators around the street nodded. As bystanders, they had clearly seen the progression of events. The fight conditions were proposed by Li Tailong himself, and now losing it and refusing to acknowledge it did seem a bit dishonorable, especially for an Imperial Relative and a Second Prince of nobility.

Though there was not much direct ridicule due to his royal status, the sneering looks made both Li Yunhe and Li Tianyi look uncomfortable.

”Alright kid, I’ll admit defeat this time.”

Li Tailong took a deep breath, barely suppressing the anger in his chest, then grinned angrily at Ling Chen, ”You better hope we don’t meet at the Heavenly Sword Tournament.”

”With your skills, perhaps you’re not yet qualified to say that?”

Ling Chen faintly smiled, his demeanor nearly causing Li Tailong’s hair to stand on end with rage.

”We’ll see if you’re qualified then.”

Although Li Tailong really wanted to chop up Ling Chen right here, he knew he couldn’t do it now. So he burned Ling Chen’s name into his mind, swung his sleeve, and turned to leave.

Li Yunhe and Li Tianyi looked deeply at Ling Chen, then reluctantly followed suit, quickly disappearing into the marketplace.

”Well done!”

”Beautiful!”

As the royal family members left in disgrace, cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd. These royals had long been notorious for their arrogance and bullying, and to see them leave so defeated for the first time was immensely satisfying to the onlookers.
