Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 91: Chapter 90 Fire Lotus Seed_1

”Kid, this place is spacious enough, isn’t it? A perfect place for your grave.”

Duan Guiyun grinned, a look of mockery on his face. He thought Ling Chen was merely looking for a secluded place to keep his pride intact when he got utterly defeated.

”Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. You might embarrass yourself,”

A fierce look flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. He turned his palm over and pulled out the box containing the Earth Heart Fire Lotus.

Upon opening the wooden box, a surge of hot air rushed to his face. On the pure Fire Lotus, two lotus seeds glowed like pearls.

”It’s the Earth Heart Fire Lotus, the priceless Fire Lotus Seed!”

Seeing the Earth Heart Fire Lotus and the lotus seeds in the box, Duan Guiyun’s eyes burned with greed. He knew the capabilities of the Fire Lotus Seed; if he got one, advancing to the Martial Artist Sixth Realm would be a piece of cake.

”Kid, hand over the Fire Lotus Seed, or you’re dead meat today!”

Greed surged in Duan Guiyun’s eyes. He never imagined finding such a treasure on a mere First Layer Martial Master like Ling Chen. His luck was truly exceptional.

However, Ling Chen seemed not to hear Duan Guiyun’s shouts. He unhesitatingly plucked one lotus seed and swallowed it directly.

”You... you’re just recklessly wasting a treasure!”

Watching Ling Chen so crudely consume the Fire Lotus Seed, Duan Guiyun’s eyes almost popped out. Firstly, with Ling Chen’s current cultivation, how could he be worthy of a treasure like the Fire Lotus Seed? Secondly, the medicinal power of the Fire Lotus Seed was extremely overbearing and required several other medicinal herbs to temper it. For Ling Chen to consume it directly like this, his constitution would never be able to withstand it.

Perhaps without him even needing to lift a finger, Ling Chen would bring about his own destruction.

Duan Guiyun looked at Ling Chen with pity. The poor fellow. To survive my grasp, he actually took such a desperate risk, staking his life. A pity, it’s all useless effort.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

Just a few breaths after swallowing the Fire Lotus Seed, waves of extremely astonishing and terrifying hot energy suddenly swept out from Ling Chen’s body. Under the impact of this scorching heat, even Ling Chen’s skin turned red.

It was as if a ball of fire was burning inside Ling Chen’s body, roasting him alive.

”Just as I predicted.”

Duan Guiyun shook his head, looking like he was about to enjoy a good show. This must be what they call a moth flying into a flame—courting his own destruction.

”What’s wrong with Ling Chen? Is he suffering from cultivation deviation?”

Ouyang Lie and the others appeared not far away, taken aback by Ling Chen’s transformation.

”He must be using some unorthodox trick, thinking he can defeat Senior Brother Duan this way. He’s dreaming.”

”Exactly. Evil can never triumph over righteousness. How can these unorthodox methods possibly contend with Senior Brother Duan’s Fire Demon Soul-breaking Knife?”

The two disciples from the Fire Blade Sect whispered to each other, sneering coldly.

”He actually consumed the Earth Heart Fire Lotus directly?”

Bai Susu was also extremely surprised by Ling Chen’s actions. The Earth Heart Fire Lotus is an incredibly yang and overbearing item. If not neutralized with several cooling medicinal herbs, the Dantian and meridians would find it very difficult to withstand, and there’s even a risk of one’s body exploding and dying.

With their cultivation at the first and Second Realm of Martial Artist, it would be even more impossible to withstand such overbearing medicinal power.

BOOM! BOOM!

At this moment, it was indeed as if gunpowder had exploded in Ling Chen’s Dantian. Streams of extremely chaotic and ferocious medicinal power surged outwards from within his Dantian, threatening to blast the entire Dantian apart.

However, beneath his Dantian, a faint, small Sword Formation had condensed. As it operated, that incomparably violent medicinal power was drawn into the Sword Formation upon contact, and then that rampant aura vanished without a trace.

”Calm down!”

The Sword Formation accelerated its rotation. Those wisps of medicinal power attempting to stir up trouble were all shattered by the sword-shaped True Qi erupting from the Sword Formation, and that overbearing force completely vanished.

Even so, a portion of the Fire Lotus Seed’s medicinal power still impacted the Dantian wall, causing Ling Chen’s internal organs to ache with a dull, piercing pain.

”Ling Tian Sword Scripture, River Inclusion!”

Ling Chen shouted loudly. The central area of the Sword Formation suddenly churned, and a vortex of airflow appeared. The medicinal power, like streams, began to pour incessantly into the vortex. Then, after being completely transformed, it turned into surging energy and circulated madly along Ling Chen’s meridians.

With this powerful influx of energy, Ling Chen’s aura soared instantly. The False Pill within his Dantian suddenly expanded by a size, and Ling Chen’s aura immediately broke through the first realm, advancing to the Second Realm of Martial Artist.

Not only that, but the medicinal efficacy of the Fire Lotus Seed was also astonishing. It allowed Ling Chen not only to break through to the Second Realm but also, in one fell swoop, to reach the peak of the Second Level Martial Artist!

At the same moment, Ling Chen’s Ling Tian Sword Scripture also instantly advanced to the threshold between the Second level and the Third. He was just one step away from achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation technique, reaching the Third level of the Ling Tian Sword Scripture, the true state of Embracing All Rivers.

ROAR!

Immense power filled Ling Chen’s entire body. As he swung his heavy sword, a faint yet clear dragon’s roar echoed.

”What? He actually succeeded?”

”Damn it, how is this possible?”

Duan Guiyun and the others stared at Ling Chen, whose aura had suddenly surged manifold, their faces extremely grim. Beneath that grimness, however, was a thick layer of disbelief; they could hardly believe Ling Chen could suppress the formidable medicinal power of the Fire Lotus Seed.

”He actually did it!”

Bai Susu was also dumbfounded, shocked by Ling Chen’s superhuman act.

”This guy.”

Duan Guiyun’s eyes turned cold, and a sense of dread surged in his heart. Ling Chen’s incredible performance made him uneasy. This kind of freak... if I can’t eliminate him this time, I might truly fall at his hands in the future.

I must finish this kid today!

At this thought, Duan Guiyun’s heart was suddenly filled with a chilling coldness. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He abruptly unslung the large Moon-Concealing Saber from his back. Gripping the hilt with both hands, he channeled his energy, and the blade, as if it had been roasted in fierce flames, turned exceptionally crimson.

”Fire Demon Soul-breaking Knife! Looks like Senior Brother Duan isn’t planning to let this kid live.”

Seeing the crimson blade, the tense expressions on Ouyang Lie and the others’ faces relaxed. So what if Ling Chen broke through a minor realm? It only narrowed the gap a little.

In front of the Fire Demon Soul-breaking Knife, Ling Chen has absolutely no chance of winning.
