Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 175: Chapter 174 Yao Fang_1

”What the hell is this thing!” Wang Yan’s expression changed abruptly. He had never expected this Mechanized Puppet to reassemble. Instead of being shattered by him, it had transformed into an even more formidable opponent.

This probably wasn’t as simple as one plus one equaling two. The combat power of this Bronze and Iron Giant was on a completely different level from the previous puppets.

Most likely, only Grand Masters could compete against this kind of puppet.

Without hesitation, Ling Chen leaped towards Xiao Muyu, grabbed him, and began to retreat out of the Mechanism Hall.

”Stop him!” Wang Yan roared, intending to give chase. However, the next moment, the Bronze and Iron Giant suddenly attacked him, an indestructible Iron Fist hurtling towards him.

”Idiot! That brat took the secret manual! Why are you attacking me?” Wang Yan’s face darkened as he hurriedly raised his Extinguishing Life Saber to block the Bronze and Iron Giant’s Iron Fist.

CLANG!

With a deafening metallic screech, Wang Yan’s Extinguishing Life Saber was smashed aside, and the fist struck him squarely in the chest.

BANG!

Wang Yan was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall of the great hall and leaving a deep indentation. The outline of his body was clearly imprinted on the wall.

A look of utter terror crossed Wang Yan’s face. He couldn’t believe he was so vulnerable against this Bronze and Iron Giant. If that punch had landed directly on him instead of his saber, it would have probably killed him on the spot.

Without any delay, the Bronze and Iron Giant attacked again, another punch smashing down towards him.

Wang Yan didn’t hesitate, hastily taking a Jade Bottle from his sleeve and swallowing a green pill.

This green pill, known as the Wind Movement Pill, worked by using its medicinal power to absorb the body’s water content after consumption, thereby reducing weight and dramatically increasing the user’s speed.

After taking the Wind Movement Pill, Wang Yan’s speed increased dramatically. Daring not to linger, he fled towards the hall’s entrance like a gust of wind.

”Stop!”

At the entrance, just as Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu escaped the Mechanism Hall, Wang Shuang and several Shocking Death Sect disciples intercepted them.

”Get lost!” Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered to waste words with them. He swung his Cloud-hidden Sword, and a stunning Sword Light flashed. With a single strike, Wang Shuang’s Long Sword was severed, and the Sword Light grazed his neck, drawing a vivid spray of blood.

Wang Shuang’s eyes bulged as his body flew backward.

Ling Chen would never show mercy to someone he had already given a chance.

After Ling Chen killed Wang Shuang, the other Shocking Death Sect disciples scattered like frightened birds and beasts. Ling Chen glanced behind him. A cloud of dust was rolling towards them; the Bronze and Iron Giant was clearly about to emerge in pursuit.

”Let’s go!”

Not daring to delay any longer, Ling Chen quickly fled with Xiao Muyu.

A moment later, Wang Yan also burst out of the Mechanism Hall. Glancing at Wang Shuang’s corpse on the ground, his expression turned extremely ugly.

”Kid, you better survive! Otherwise, the enmity for my brother’s death is irreconcilable! The next time I see you, I’ll rip you to shreds!” Wang Yan’s eyes glinted with malice as he spoke with chilling intensity.

With that, he also turned and violently stormed out of the hall.

Ling Chen didn’t clearly hear Wang Yan’s vicious words, but he did hear screams from behind. Evidently, the Bronze and Iron Giant had already charged out of the Mechanism Hall. With its strength, it was bound to cause a bloodbath.

”This feud with Wang Yan is now completely set,” Xiao Muyu said worriedly. ”He’s probably like a mad dog now, wanting to kill you to vent his anger. He’s ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly List; if you faced him head-on, you’d likely not be his match.”

”The Tienzong Ruins are vast; it won’t be easy for him to find us. Besides, even if we’re not his match, he can’t stop us if we want to leave.”

Ling Chen had no intention of clashing head-on with Wang Yan. Such a person, when enraged, is terrifying. He would likely stop at nothing to kill me.

Xiao Muyu nodded. ”That’s true. Besides, we disciples of the Divine Intent Sect are not to be trifled with either. If we could meet up with Brother Nie Wu Xiang, what would we have to fear from Wang Yan?”

Ling Chen didn’t say much in response. While Nie Wu Xiang was certainly powerful, that was ultimately someone else’s strength. One could look to others for help, but not depend on them. The only strength one could truly rely on was one’s own.

At this time, approximately ten miles away from Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu.

There was a plaza where a group of Demonic Sect disciples had gathered. In front of them stood a robust young man, his aura powerful. This was Xu Chenshan, ranked twenty-fifth on the Heavenly List and a True Disciple of the Myriad Dao Sect.

Xu Chenshan scanned the group, who looked like they wanted to flee but dared not, and said brutally, ”Disciples of the Demon Way, consider it your misfortune to have run into me, Xu Chenshan. There’s only one path before you now: death.”

The Demon Way Disciples exchanged dismayed glances. Xu Chenshan’s strength was overwhelming; they had already seen one of their Ghost Envoy Level experts get his head blown off by a single punch from him.

”However, I’ve changed my mind,” Xu Chenshan said, his gaze sweeping over the Demon Way Disciples as a smirk suddenly appeared. ”I’ll give you five breaths’ time. Whoever can escape my strike, I’ll spare his life.”

The eyes of the Demon Way Disciples lit up. Even if we only cover five meters in one breath, in five breaths, running desperately, we could cover more than twenty meters! With so many of us, perhaps there’s a chance to survive Xu Chenshan’s attack!

”Still not running? Then I’m going to make my move.” Xu Chenshan’s smile widened. The feeling of toying with these Demon Way Disciples is quite exhilarating.

Under the pressure of death, the Demon Way Disciples pushed their True Qi to the limit, scattering and fleeing in all directions at speeds they had never reached before.

Within five breaths, the fastest among them had already fled over forty meters.

”Die, you scum!” Xu Chenshan roared, crossing his hands before his chest and then fiercely thrusting them outwards.

His speed surpassed all the Demon Way Disciples. After closing to a certain distance, his fists shot out like a string of firecrackers, filling the air with streams of Fist Strength that resembled air cannon blasts.

A miserable scream rang out. The slowest Demon Way disciple’s head exploded from a punch, his body sliding more than ten meters before coming to a stop, devoid of life.

Then the second Demon Way disciple, the third, the fourth... until only one remained, who had managed to flee nearly two hundred meters.

”Haha, quite the runner, aren’t you? But since you’re all going to die anyway, why bother struggling?” Xu Chenshan laughed heartily. With several quick dashes, he rapidly closed in on the last Demon Way disciple and threw a punch.

”Die! Crumbling Mountain Fist!” His punch locked onto the Demon Way disciple.

However, just as his punch was about to connect with the Demon Way disciple’s back, a spear shadow suddenly appeared from nowhere and pierced through his Fist Strength.

”What?” Xu Chenshan was stunned. Before he could process his shock, the spear shadow twisted and thrust towards him.

Retreat! Fear welled up in Xu Chenshan’s heart, and he hastily fell back. But he wasn’t faster than the spear shadow. In an instant, the spear’s gleam was before him, piercing through his protective True Qi and then his heart with lightning speed.

”Utterly vulnerable.” Only then did everyone clearly see the spear wielder: a young man in black, his features almost demonically handsome. He walked up to Xu Chenshan and pulled the spearhead out.

”Senior Brother Xu Chenshan!” The Myriad Dao Sect disciples were shocked. Xu Chenshan, an expert ranked twenty-fifth on the Heavenly List, had been killed with a single spear strike.

”Who... who are you?” a Myriad Dao Sect disciple asked in terror.

”Yao Fang, the Demon Flame Gun, one of the Ten Outstanding Talents of the Demonic Sect.” The black-clad young man sneered, then turned and left with his spear. He didn’t kill the remaining Myriad Dao Sect disciples. These ant-like characters aren’t worthy of my strike.

His targets for hunting were those so-called geniuses of the Righteous Path on the Heavenly List.

A mere Xu Chenshan wasn’t even enough to pick my teeth with.
