Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1210: Chapter 1209: True Identity

The strength of the Rakshasa Woman, among this group of young challengers, was already considered outstanding, yet she was slain in an instant by just a glance from the Skyeye Marquis!

What terrifying Pupil Technique has this Skyeye Marquis cultivated to reach such a level?

”Haha, as expected.”

The Free and Unrestrained Marquis shook his head. He initially thought the Rakshasa Woman could force some skills out of the Skyeye Marquis, but it seemed he overestimated her.

Like Xuannv, the Skyeye Marquis also possesses the strength to compete for the King’s throne. Still, the Divine Marquises did not know why the Skyeye Marquis remained here without rushing to the pinnacle area.

”Skyeye Marquis!”

A rare solemnity flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. Even he fell into that Pupil Technique. The Rakshasa Woman seemed to be instantly defeated, but in reality, anyone who couldn’t resist the Skyeye Marquis’s Pupil Technique would likely be instantaneously defeated.

This is absolute suppression.

”It’s said that the Skyeye Marquis ranks second among the Twelve Divine Marquises. So, how strong could the first-ranked Xuannv be? And what about the Four Great Kings?”

Ling Chen suddenly felt a surge of battle intent in his eyes. How could he not feel his blood racing at the prospect of competing with such powerful opponents?

”The world is indeed vast.”

Wei Wuxian’s emotions were similar to Ling Chen’s. He thought his current strength would allow him to dominate the Nine Schools Tournament effortlessly. But he was shocked by the Skyeye Marquis’s strength, and he realized it would be far from easy to secure a King’s throne.

However, that’s what makes it interesting. What value does a position gained too easily hold, even if it is the King’s throne?

The Rakshasa Woman’s defeat was a wake-up call for the young challengers. Strong as she was, she was instantly defeated, making all the young ones remember the Skyeye Marquis’s formidable reputation.

Soon, Liu Mengru took the stage, facing off against the Blood Robe Marquis.

Liu Mengru’s strength had grown significantly, but the Blood Robe Marquis’s strength was not much different from the Star Sword Marquis. Ultimately, after twenty moves, Liu Mengru narrowly lost to the Blood Robe Marquis.

Thus, the positions among the Twelve Divine Marquises were essentially stabilized.

”I’m sorry, cousin, I can’t go with you to see the view from the mountain top.”

Liu Mengru regretfully looked at Ling Chen. Everyone who came to the Nine Schools Tournament longed for the Spirit Mountain’s peak.

To stand atop Spirit Mountain and overlook countless geniuses below, enjoying the supreme glory above all.

”Don’t lose heart, cousin. Even if you fail this time, next year, you will surely join the ranks of the Divine Marquises.”

Ling Chen consoled Liu Mengru. With her talent, in a year’s time, her strength would surely improve significantly, increasing her chances of competing for the Divine Marquises’ position.

As for the Four Great Kings’ positions, with Liu Mengru’s talent ranked third on the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall, one day, she’ll be among them!

”Ling Chen, I’m going ahead!”

Wei Wuxian glanced at Ling Chen before leaping from the Divine Marquises’ position towards the mountain peak!

Soon after, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis, Blood Robe Marquis, Mad Blade Marquis, and others headed toward the peak!

Next, they were all vying for the Four Great Kings’ positions!

The so-called Divine Marquises, Heavenly Pride, Outstanding, and countless ranks were but fleeting clouds before the Kings.

Below the Kings, all are ants!

”Cousin, I’m going too.”

Ling Chen cupped his hands at Liu Mengru, then prepared to move toward Spirit Mountain’s final peak.

At this moment, a slender figure in a black robe appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

”Skyeye Marquis?”

Ling Chen’s pupils slightly contracted, and a wary look appeared on his face. The Skyeye Marquis was a formidable figure.

However, the Skyeye Marquis did not respond to him. Instead, she lifted her jade-like hand and removed the mask under the black robe, revealing a stunningly beautiful young face.

”Is this the true face of the Skyeye Marquis?”

Everyone’s eyes widened with incredulity. The true face of the Skyeye Marquis turned out to be a young and beautiful girl? What was going on?

Her age seemed younger than anyone present, probably not even twenty years old?

This girl is one of the Twelve Divine Marquises; what a joke.

Even the Star Sword Marquis, Marquis Guiming, and others were surprised, as they had never seen the true face of the Skyeye Marquis and found it rather astounding.

”Are you... Xiao Yin?”

After seeing the true face of the Skyeye Marquis, Ling Chen was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This Skyeye Marquis is actually Ling Yin?

How is this possible?

”Brother Ling Chen, long time no see.”

Ling Yin’s pretty face showed a playful expression.

”Xiao Yin, why is it you?”

The surprise on Ling Chen’s face did not fade but grew even deeper. ”How did you become the Skyeye Marquis?”

The Skyeye Marquis became one of the Twelve Divine Marquises at last year’s Nine Schools Tournament. Does this mean Ling Yin participated in last year’s tournament?

Ling Yin softly conveyed to Ling Chen, ”The Skyeye Marquis is my cousin. She is not participating in this year’s tournament, so the family sent me to take her place and compete on her behalf.”

”I see.”

Ling Chen nodded in understanding, yet he was still astonished by Ling Yin’s current strength. The method she used to instantly defeat the Rakshasa Woman was extraordinarily impressive. It appeared that Ling Yin had grown far more than he imagined in the last two years.

Having Ling Yin follow that Heavenly Eye Ancestor to receive the Heavenly Eye Clan’s training might have been a very correct decision.

”My little Xiao Yin is becoming more impressive.”

Ling Chen joyfully extended his hand, gently patting Ling Yin’s head as he used to, ”As a brother, I might feel a bit shameful compared to you.”

”No way, in my heart, Brother Ling Chen is always the strongest.”

Ling Yin seemed to enjoy Ling Chen’s touch, like a kitten enjoying its owner’s affection.

”The Skyeye Marquis... seems to know Ling Chen?”

”Judging by how they act, they’re more than acquaintances; they seem very close.”

”Close? It looks like these two are a bit too intimate to me...”

Seeing Ling Chen and Ling Yin’s intimate gestures, everyone couldn’t help but discuss it in whispers.

Hearing such discussions, Ling Chen retracted his hand and glanced towards the sky. There, the peak appeared to pierce the firmament like a sword, and only the faint silhouettes of the four thrones in the cardinal directions could be vaguely seen, with nothing else visible.

”I’m heading up there now, would you like to come with me?”

Ling Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him.

Ling Yin gently nodded, ”Wherever Brother Ling Chen goes, I will go.”

”Then let’s go, and meet those so-called Four Great Kings!”

A gleam flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes; he then extended his right hand, grasping Ling Yin’s fair little hand, and took a step forward. The Thunder Sound Sword transformed into a flying sword, and the two of them, standing on the flying sword, quickly moved toward the final King’s domain.
