Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 455: Chapter 454 Black-robed_1

”These people, they’re actually planning to make their move right here. Are they trying to incite a civil war?”

Xia Yunxin had not expected that they would actually try to attack Ling Chen right here.

”What’s so surprising about that? If they didn’t make a move, they wouldn’t be called demons,” Ling Chen said with a cold laugh.

”Scoundrels! In the Sky Demon Tower, Young Master Ling Chen showed mercy and spared Xie Zhiqiu and the others. It was pure kindness! These fellows return kindness with hatred; they are truly heartless ingrates!” Bai Qing declared angrily from behind Ling Chen.

”Given their petty and narrow-minded nature, how could they possibly lead the Holy Church? Today, we go to full-scale war with Skypiercing Peak! We will slay them and seize control!”

”Exactly! What kind of joke is this Sect Leader? The Saintess is proficient in both literary and martial arts; she is the most suitable to be Sect Leader! The Young Master is an unparalleled genius! As for Xie Zhiqiu, Xun Wujie, Teng Beast, and other so-called Geniuses of the Demonic Way, they are only fit to shine the Young Master’s shoes!”

”Haha, true! The Young Master was first in the trial and received the inheritance of the Invincible Demon Lord! He’s the number one disciple since the founding of the Holy Church! With him around, the Holy Church will surely flourish! I won’t allow these old turtles to harm him!”

”Fight! What is there to fear!”

Voices filled with fighting spirit resonated in Ling Chen’s ears.

This scene also surprised Ling Chen somewhat. These young people, their fighting spirit boiling, showed no fear even when facing formidable enemies.

”Hmph! If you want to kill our Young Master, you’ll have to get past me first!”

As soon as the many demons from the Skypiercing Peak Lineage made their move, Elder Beiming, Fire Crow Taoist, Black Swordsman, Dragon Elephant Respect, and others appeared before Ling Chen.

”Xuanjizi, what are you trying to do? Our Young Master Ling Chen has now received the Invincible Demon Lord’s inheritance, making him a disciple of the Invincible Demon Lord and successor to the Sect Founder! Even Sikong Yi’s status is far inferior. How dare you attack him?” Black Swordsman shouted.

”Nonsense!”

Xuanjizi sneered coldly. ”This Ling Chen is clearly a spy from the Righteous Path! He killed many of our Geniuses of the Demonic Way in the Sky Demon Tower, and now he has stolen the Invincible Demon Lord’s inheritance, piling crime upon crime! How can the Invincible Demon Lord’s legacy fall into the hands of a brat with a Righteous Path background?”

”Why waste breath talking to them? This kid must die; that’s final! He must be obliterated!”

Ghost God Honorific gripped his Sky Piercer Halberd and thrust it out, as if to pierce the heavens and blast a huge hole through Ling Chen’s body.

”Wishful thinking! Form the Array Formation! Protect the Young Master!”

Elder Beiming, Fire Crow Taoist, Black Swordsman, and Dragon Elephant Respect promptly activated their True Qi, taking positions at four points to shield Ling Chen and the others.

”They’re fighting!”

Seeing this, the experts from the other Demon Path Sects and factions rapidly retreated, terrified of being dragged in and dying without a burial site.

Who would dare interfere in the Saint Witch Religion’s civil war?

Moreover, they were glad to see the Saint Witch Religion fighting amongst themselves. This way, they would have a chance to rise and possibly even usurp the Saint Witch Religion’s position as Demon Overlord.

”Lend me your strength! I will break the Array Formation!”

Ghost God Honorific shouted, raising his Sky Piercer Halberd high. Vast True Qi converged upon it, forming a massive Void halberd shadow, a full twenty zhang wide.

Hearing this, Xuanjizi, the Black and White Holy Envoy, the Green-faced Demon Sect, the Tiger Demon Sect, the Bull Demon Sect, and others also unleashed a blast of True Qi, shooting it into the halberd shadow.

The halberd shadow solidified at a shocking speed. Within around ten breaths, it had doubled in size, its color growing exceptionally deep, like a Sky Demon Halberd piercing forth from Hell itself.

BUZZ!

Urged on by Elder Beiming, Fire Crow Taoist, Black Swordsman, and Dragon Elephant Respect, the Array Formation took shape. A massive True Qi shield appeared around them, perfectly protecting everyone from the Saintess Hall.

BOOM!

The Sky Demon Halberd pierced down, striking the Array Formation’s shield. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. This terrifying attack, combining the might of a dozen Top Sky Apex Strong from both sides, was enough to instantly flatten a mountain peak.

However, though the long halberd pierced down, it failed to shatter the Array Formation’s defense. After a fierce collision, it came to a halt. Only astonishing shockwaves spread out, like a typhoon raging relentlessly.

Sikong Yi watched this confrontation, a sharp glint suddenly appearing in his eyes. He then waved his hand. SWISH! SWISH! From the Skypiercing Peak ranks, another black-clad figure emerged.

This figure’s aura was incredibly strong, almost on par with Sikong Yi’s. He was completely enveloped in a black robe, his true face hidden.

”Black-robed!”

Seeing this figure appear, Elder Beiming’s pupils constricted slightly, his shock evident.

Who is this person?

From this black-clad figure, Ling Chen also sensed an extremely tyrannical aura, even stronger than Elder Beiming’s, surpassing all the prominent figures of the Saintess Hall.

”The Black-robed is the protector of each generation’s Saint Witch Sect Leader,” Xia Yunxin said, a keen light in her beautiful eyes. ”Every Sect Leader has a powerful Sky Apex Realm Expert serving as their ’Black-robed,’ acting as the Sect Leader’s shadow and obeying only the Sect Leader’s command.”

”Sikong Yi, concerned about his dignity, isn’t taking action personally. Instead, he’s letting the Black-robed do it for him. In reality, it’s no different from him making the move himself.”

Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded. No wonder that in the history of the Saint Witch Religion, the Sect Leader has always held the power, and very few Saintesses have managed to gain control. It turns out the Sect Leader has such a powerful card to play.

SWOOSH!

As Ling Chen finished speaking, the Black-robed had already shot forward. His figure flickered continuously in mid-air, finally appearing behind the Sky Demon Halberd. His palm, surging with majestic True Qi, suddenly struck the shaft of the halberd.

CRACK!

Under his strike, the previously impregnable defense of the Array Formation instantly developed a fissure.

This is bad! Elder Beiming and the others felt their hearts sink. The Black-robed usually kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public. They hadn’t expected this person’s strength to be so terrifying.

If the Array Formation breaks, it will be difficult to protect Ling Chen.

Just as they were burning with anxiety, a figure suddenly shot up, flying directly above everyone’s heads.

It was Ling Chen.

”Young Master, what are you doing?”

”It’s dangerous! Retreat quickly!”

This terrified Elder Beiming and the others. Seeing the Array Formation on the verge of shattering, Ling Chen wasn’t thinking about how to hide; instead, he dared to come out. Is he courting death?

”Everyone, lend me your aid!”

Ling Chen’s expression remained unchanged. His brow glinted. As he channeled his full power, a black, translucent energy sword rapidly condensed before him. An incomparably ferocious and invincible aura emanated from that energy sword—one strike, invincible under the heavens, shaking the four seas!

”Invincible Sword Intent!”

Whether it was Elder Beiming and Black Swordsman, or Xuanjizi and Ghost God Honorific, they all exclaimed almost simultaneously. Feeling that aura of invincibility, they instantly understood the origin of this Sword Intent and from whom it came.
