Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 518: Chapter 517: Rescue Soldiers_1

”Yan’er, kill him now!”

Dong Shenglong’s eyes were cold as he sternly commanded Xu Ruoyan.

However, Xu Ruoyan just stood there, her mind a mess. The moment after her sword thrust out, she regretted it. Asking her to kill Ling Chen now was undoubtedly an impossible task.

”Little Demon, die!”

Seeing Xu Ruoyan hesitate, an Elder of Sky Void Palace, a Great Master Ninth Level, stepped forward. A Sharp Sword appeared in his hand, pointed straight at Ling Chen’s back, near his heart.

CLANG!

Just as the sword was about to pierce Ling Chen’s back near his heart, suddenly, a black Treasure Sword blocked the Sharp Sword. The tremendous force released from the Treasure Sword repelled the Sky Void Palace Elder, sending him flying.

”Ling Chen, are you all right?”

A soft arm helped Ling Chen up. The person who had acted was none other than Xia Yunxin.

After repelling the Elder, she quickly crouched down, her jade hand brushing aside the blood-soaked fabric around Ling Chen’s wound. After examining it, she breathed a sigh of relief. ”Luckily, no vital part was hurt.”

She then glanced at Xu Ruoyan, who was standing not far away. It seemed that Xu Ruoyan had held back. With her strength, she couldn’t have missed if she had truly intended to kill Ling Chen.

Xia Yunxin efficiently took out some Healing Medicine and helped Ling Chen staunch his wounds. As she supported him, a slight determination gleamed in her beautiful eyes. ”We have to go now, or we won’t be able to leave at all.”

”Let’s go!”

Ling Chen nodded. Despite his despair, he hadn’t lost his will to survive.

Although he was seriously injured, the power of the Human Emperor was still within him. Escaping from here shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

However, Ling Chen wanted to leave, but Dong Shenglong and his party would hardly let him. After all, Ling Chen had committed such an outrageous act of rebellion against their Sky Void Palace today; they couldn’t possibly let him get away.

”Stop them!”

Dong Shenglong appeared before Ling Chen, wielding his Long Knife. Ling Chen had managed to repel him with a single sword strike earlier, causing Dong Shenglong to lose considerable face. Now that Xu Ruoyan had injured Ling Chen, it was a golden opportunity for Dong Shenglong to kill him and establish his authority before the many Pupils of Tianxu Palace.

”Crescent Moon Horizon!”

Approaching Ling Chen, Dong Shenglong charged like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. At the tip of his Long Knife, a moon-like blade light emerged, seeming to flicker between near and far. It appeared to close the distance in an instant, ruthlessly slashing toward Ling Chen’s throat.

Facing the incoming crescent moon blade light, Ling Chen thrust his Red Sky Sword forward, tearing a large hole in the attack.

The Sword Light shot out from the hole like a blazing meteor, striking Dong Shenglong squarely on the chest.

SQUELCH!

When the Sword Light exploded, a scorched hole was blasted into Dong Shenglong’s chest. Fortunately, his Cultivation was substantial, so this strike hadn’t caused him significant injury, but it still sent him flying backward in disarray.

”How is this possible?”

Dong Shenglong couldn’t believe it. Ling Chen, despite his severe injuries, could still send him flying with a single sword strike? Just how powerful was this kid?

However, after repelling Dong Shenglong with that strike, Ling Chen spat out another mouthful of blood. He was already seriously injured, and forcefully circulating even a bit of True Qi worsened his condition.

”Quick, let’s go.”

Xia Yunxin knew Ling Chen’s condition. She quickly supported him and, using her Light Skill, tried to break through the encirclement.

However, just as the two were preparing to break through, the sound of tearing wind suddenly echoed from behind them. A very powerful aura abruptly pervaded the air.

”Thinking of leaving?”

From the direction of the tearing wind came a figure exuding a powerful presence: an elderly man with crane-white hair and a youthful complexion. His imposing aura surpassed even that of Dong Shenglong, the Heavenly Void Palace Master.

”A powerhouse of the Fifth Level of Sky Apex Realm!”

Xia Yunxin couldn’t help but exclaim. The newcomer’s strength is terrifying!

”Great Elder!”

Seeing the elderly man with crane-white hair and youthful features appear, Dong Shenglong’s face lit up with surprise and joy. He himself wasn’t confident he could keep Ling Chen here now, but with the Great Elder present, it was a different story. Ling Chen stood no chance!

”I didn’t expect even the Tianxu Palace Supreme Elder to take action.”

Both Yun Qinghong and Su Ziling were shaken. This matter is escalating. Even the elusive Tianxu Palace Supreme Elder, who hasn’t shown his face in years, has appeared.

The Tianxu Palace Supreme Elder, Zhong Ziqi, was renowned for his unfathomable strength and years of secluded cultivation.

”Great Elder, quickly kill this Little Demon!” Dong Shenglong immediately shouted.

The elderly man with crane-white hair and youthful features glanced at the devastated venue. Bodies lay scattered about—some belonging to Ye Nantian’s faction, many others were Pupils of Tianxu Palace. The sight made the elderly man narrow his eyes, his expression darkening.

”My Sky Void Palace, a respected sect for hundreds of years, has been thrown into such disarray by a mere child.”

An unmistakable chill laced Zhong Ziqi’s voice. His gaze then fell upon Ling Chen. ”Demonic Path Followers, daring to cause havoc in my Sky Void Palace and kill our disciples! This crime is unforgivable!”

As the last few words fell, Zhong Ziqi suddenly moved. With a flash, he vanished from his original position. By the time Ling Chen sensed something was amiss, Zhong Ziqi had already reappeared about ten meters away.

Ling Chen quickly pushed Xia Yunxin aside, then forcefully circulated his True Qi, infusing it into the Red Sky Sword and holding the sword horizontally before him.

BANG!

A terrifying fist struck the blade of the Red Sky Sword from mid-air. The entire sword bent under the impact of that single punch. The Fist Strength slammed into Ling Chen, sending him flying and spitting blood.

This punch not only knocked Ling Chen away but also shattered the lingering power of the Human Emperor within him.

After felling Ling Chen with one punch, Zhong Ziqi didn’t stop. He immediately followed up with another, aimed directly at Ling Chen’s heart, clearly intending to kill him with this single blow.

”Great Elder, don’t kill him!” Xu Ruoyan shouted hastily upon seeing this.

However, Zhong Ziqi hesitated for only a moment before shaking his head. His killing intent towards Ling Chen didn’t lessen; instead, it intensified. This Little Demon has bewitched even the most outstanding disciple of our Sky Void Palace. All the more reason to kill him and eliminate future troubles!

A devastating fist attack, like a meteor, smashed towards Ling Chen. The terrifying offensive seemed poised to pulverize his body.

”You want to kill my son? Is your Sky Void Palace seeking to be erased from the Martial World?”

Just as the terrifying meteor-like Fist Strength was about to strike Ling Chen, a cold female voice suddenly cut in. The next moment, a strange black Air Energy shot forth from a distance, directly piercing through the meteor-like Fist Strength and shattering it!
