Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1389: Chapter 1388: Yin-Yang Technique

”What?”

Ito Zhai felt a storm of overwhelming Sword Intent sweep in from the front, grinding the Illusory Realm he had painstakingly constructed into shattered fragments. The force of that gale was so fierce his footing turned unstable; he was forced to retreat step after step, only after backing off five steps did he finally steady his body, the shock in his eyes still lingering.

Thud!

Hong Ye broke free from Despair and terror, her delicate body suddenly going limp as she directly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath in great, heavy gulps, her perky, soft chest heaving violently up and down.

If she had been any later in breaking free from the Illusory Realm, she would absolutely not have escaped a certain-death ending!

At this moment, her gaze also turned toward Ling Chen. The other party’s figure remained utterly unmoving, that Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Illusion Technique seemingly incapable of shaking him in the slightest.

The Thunder Sound Sword in Ling Chen’s hand angled down to the ground, its tip dragging sparks along the surface. Ling Chen walked toward Ito Zhai step by step; with every step forward, his Sword Intent pressed ahead another notch, while the aura of Ito Zhai and the Hundred-Eyed Demon weakened a notch in turn—a clear see-saw of power.

”Master Ito actually got countered.”

A trace of incredulity flashed in Fengjian Hongyi’s eyes. The fact that he himself had lost to Ling Chen he could still understand, but Ito Zhai losing to Ling Chen—that was far too unbelievable. And now Ito Zhai had already unleashed the power of the Hundred Eyes Monster, yet still couldn’t defeat Ling Chen, instead having his Illusion Technique broken and even looking somewhat panicked?

”Even a Great Yin-Yang Master personally acting can’t subdue this boy?”

The members of the Fengjian Clan all wore shocked expressions, one after another. Even a majestic Great Yin-Yang Master taking action still couldn’t do anything to Ling Chen?

Yet Ling Chen’s heart was clear as a mirror. This particular Hundred-Eyed Demon truly was very strong, but the amount of power Ito Zhai could draw out was ultimately limited. The true Hundred-Eyed Demon’s main body should be inside Mountain Qiu Shrine, and whether it was a Great Yin-Yang Master or shrine Maidens, they all relied on special methods to drive and borrow the power of these Ghost Gods; there was no way they could reach one hundred percent.

Besides, his Sword Intent was far stronger than an ordinary Sword Saint’s, innately restraining the power of these demons and Evil Gods. The Illusion Technique of the Hundred-Eyed Demon might be unstoppable against ordinary people, but against him, its effect was far from that overwhelming.

At this very moment, the one whose mood was most shaken was probably none other than Ito Zhai. Ling Chen breaking the Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Illusion Technique with ease both shocked him, yet was also within his expectations.

Because he knew that some Sword Saints with extremely powerful Willpower could indeed reach the realm of cutting apart Illusory Realms, ignoring illusions entirely. It was just that such people, across all of Yingzhou, were existences at the very tip of the Pyramid, figures he had always treated with wary respect and kept his distance from. He hadn’t expected someone as young as Ling Chen, a junior of this level, to be able to reach this realm as well—it truly caught him completely off guard.

”So-called Ghost Gods only possess power of this level?”

Ling Chen walked toward Ito Zhai step by step, his aura growing ever more intense. In contrast, that Hundred-Eyed Demon whose aura had been soaring just now was now visibly shrinking at a speed the naked eye could catch.

”You dare look down on the great Hundred-Eyed Demon? You’ll pay the price for that.”

A chill flashed through Ito Zhai’s eyes. His hands then pressed together; from the slightly wrinkled palms, two six-pointed star seals surfaced. The two six-pointed star marks overlapped, and at the same time, the tattoo on his back grew even more radiant. The aura of that Hundred-Eyed Demon behind him once again began to climb rapidly.

”Yin-Yang Technique · Amaterasu!”

With Ito Zhai’s explosive shout, a gray light surged in each of those black eyeballs, then shot out in beams, all converging onto Ling Chen’s position.

As over a hundred terrifying gray beams focused together, they enveloped Ling Chen along with the area within five meters around him. Wherever they touched, the ground melted, everything turned into nothingness, evaporated completely.

Even the slightest stray remnant of that force, when it fell upon the earth, left hollow pits behind—an incredibly eerie sight.

”What a terrifying technique!”

As strong as Fengjian Hongyi was, seeing this scene, his scalp instantly prickled. He felt an extremely dangerous aura, his body giving an involuntary shudder. Even for him, if he were directly struck by that converged gray beam, he very likely would be evaporated into nothingness, not even a scrap of his body left!

Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes were likewise full of shock. She, too, could use Yin-Yang Techniques, but moves like this could only be unleashed by a Great Yin-Yang Master like Ito Zhai. Yin-Yang Techniques of this level belonged to the forbidden technique tier of the various Shrines, their might unimaginably great.

She had once witnessed the Great Yin-Yang Master of Izumo Shrine make a move—back then, he had used Izumo Shrine’s forbidden technique to brutally kill a Sword Saint whose Cultivation surpassed his own. That scene was something she’d never forget for the rest of her life.

And today, Ito Zhai had similarly unleashed a forbidden technique to deal with Ling Chen. Could it be that the scene she had once witnessed was going to replay itself here and now?

Within their line of sight, the gray light gradually dispersed. At the spot where the gray beams had converged, a shocking pit had already appeared; within that pit, there was nothing at all—let alone any human figure.

”Not even a corpse left?”

The members of the Fengjian Clan stared unblinkingly at the area inside that giant crater. No matter how they looked, they couldn’t see a single trace of a silhouette. Ling Chen had completely vanished.

”Terrifying! He was actually completely evaporated!”

A powerhouse of the Fengjian Clan was inwardly aghast. Ling Chen had just been overwhelmingly dominant, such a formidable existence—yet he’d been directly evaporated by that strike, not even bones remaining.

This Great Yin-Yang Master of Mountain Qiu Shrine was truly too frightening.

”Dead?”

A look of disbelief surfaced in Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes. Ling Chen had actually completely disappeared; could it be he had truly been killed? In that moment, she unexpectedly felt a subtle sense of sorrow at a fellow sufferer’s demise.

”Hmph, turned to dust, has he?”

Ito Zhai let out a cold snort, the corner of his mouth curling into a frosty arc. ”This is the outcome of mocking the great Hundred-Eyed Demon.”

”Is he really dead?”

Fengjian Hongyi frowned, a persistent unease lingering in his heart. Suddenly, his body shuddered; driven by a Swordsman’s intuition, he suddenly sensed something, sharply raising his head to look toward the sky above Ito Zhai’s head—his pupils abruptly constricted!

”Master Ito, careful!”

Fengjian Hongyi’s shout made Ito Zhai’s expression change. He jerked his head up, only to see that at some unknown point, a dark figure had appeared above his head!

Ito Zhai’s pupils tightened. That shadow above him was precisely the supposedly vanished Ling Chen!

”How is that possible?”

Staring at Ling Chen, both hands gripping his sword and coiled to strike, Ito Zhai’s old face, for the first time, showed a hint of panic.
