Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 559: Chapter 557 Defeat_1

Lifting his head, Meng Qi looked at Ling Chen from a distance. ”I admit, I underestimated you. However, it won’t be so easy to defeat me. I didn’t just rely on the Thunder Hammer to secure my fifth place on the Young Master List, but also this Golden Violent Dragon Armor I’m wearing. No one can break my defense, and neither can you.”

”He’s indeed a tough opponent.”

Liu Feiyue’s beautiful eyes also darkened slightly. This Meng Qi, who claims to be invincible below the Sky Apex Realm, likely owes his reputation not only to his strength but also significantly to these two offensive and defensive Treasures he possesses.

”A Top-grade Treasure, the Golden Violent Dragon Armor! The Island Master actually has two Top-grade Treasures, one for attack and one for defense!”

”Looking at it this way, this kid is doomed. Even if his combat power is superior to Meng Qi’s, with the defense of the Golden Violent Dragon Armor, Meng Qi can easily wear him down.”

”That’s right! A Top-grade Weird Armour can amplify defense by seventy or eighty percent!”

Compared to the young Ling Chen, the crowd was more inclined to follow Vice Leader Linghu Yi. Perhaps this subtle jealousy is simply human nature.

Ling Chen said, ”The Golden Violent Dragon Armor, a Top-grade Weird Armour. No wonder you’re so fearless. So, you were relying on the advantage of your treasure.”

Ling Chen was somewhat surprised. This guy indeed had quite a few treasures. The Thunder Hammer was ordinary, but this Golden Violent Dragon Armor was exceptionally precious. The value of defensive treasures, compared to offensive ones, was on a completely different level.

”Such arrogant words! With the Golden Violent Dragon Armor, I am inherently in an invincible position. You have no hope! Mighty Lion Shattering Strike!”

Meng Qi, completely unafraid of Ling Chen’s attack, charged straight forward. As he moved, his Thunder Hammer smashed brutally towards Ling Chen.

It was a stance of trading life for life.

Of course, Meng Qi didn’t care.

”Then I’ll see just how tough your turtle shell is!”

The Ancient Sword above Ling Chen’s Soul Sea vibrated. Under everyone’s astonished gazes, a Sword Intent that seemed to tear the sky surged and spread. Stepping out, Ling Chen, wielding the Thunder Shadow Sword, slashed in response.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! This sword strike was filled with such intense Sword Intent that it caused surrounding debris to shoot towards Meng Qi. Even some Elders with weaker willpower were affected by the Sword Intent, their weapons vibrating wildly in their hands.

BOOM!

The imposing Meng Qi was sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The terrifying sword qi, even through the defense of the Golden Violent Dragon Armor, still inflicted considerable damage. The defense of the Top-grade Weird Armour seemed ineffective.

”Break!”

Stepping forward again, Ling Chen swung his second sword. This strike was even more potent than the first. Meng Qi bled from all seven orifices, his hair bun blasted apart.

With the third sword strike, Meng Qi finally spurted a torrent of blood.

”AHHH!” Meng Qi roared, his heart filled with terror. He then whipped his head around to look at Linghu Yi. ”Master, this fellow is a grave threat! Quick, quick, kill him!”

At this moment, the pressure Ling Chen exerted on Meng Qi was unbearable. He understood that if this continued, even with the protection of the Golden Violent Dragon Armor, he would be vibrated to death. This young man, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, had shattered his understanding of the world, shattered his iron-clad rule of being undefeated below the Sky Apex Realm. He was utterly outmatched. This fellow actually possessed terrifying strength that surpassed his own!

Dammit.

Linghu Yi’s eyes quickly darkened. This brat... even Meng Qi was no match for him! He truly wished he could strike immediately and annihilate Ling Chen, but he couldn’t do that. After all, he had previously stated that Meng Qi and Ling Chen would duel. If he intervened now, he would undoubtedly lose the people’s support. But if Ling Chen died at the hands of others, it would have nothing to do with him.

With this thought, he shot a meaningful glance at a few Elders. Receiving his signal, they nodded, stepped forward, and fixed their gazes on Ling Chen.

”This brat doesn’t deserve to be Sect Leader! Get him, kill him!”

A Cyan Robe Association Elder waved his hand, and dozens of men wielding weapons attacked Ling Chen from all directions. Their chaotic and terrifying auras converged, shaking the area for miles around.

Ling Chen sneered. Before my Sword Intent advanced, I might have been wary of a group attack. But now, as long as I don’t wish it, no one can manage to surround me.

SWISH!

Who said Sword Way Intent could only boost attack power? Sword Intent billowed around Ling Chen, and his speed surpassed all previous limits. In a single flash, he was outside the encirclement.

”Thousand Dragons Gathering! Let corpses cover the land!”

Ling Chen’s Thunder Shadow Sword swept before him. Dragon shadows flashed into existence as dense sword qi radiated out in a fan shape, engulfing the Cyan Robe Association Elders and other members in his sight.

SHHHKKKK! The sword qi, imbued with terrifying Sword Intent, was unstoppable. Wherever it swept, people fell in droves. Protective True Qi, defensive treasures—all were as substantial as floating clouds.

In the blink of an eye. Just a single blink. More than half of the dozens of attackers were gone. Those who remained were all injured, their faces aghast with terror.

Ling Chen gave them no time for regret. He once again unleashed Controlling Dragon in the Sky. An immense Sword Light swept across the horizon. Mutilated corpses flew through the air; none who were struck survived.

”Run!”

The survivors were regretting it so much their insides turned green. Who the hell said killing him would be easy?! This kid is an absolute monster! Group attacks are useless. Unless a large number of peak Star Realm experts surround him and attack simultaneously, any more who come will just be fodder!

”Vice Leader, save me!”

One person darted over to Linghu Yi, hoping for his protection.

However, Linghu Yi’s expression darkened. He suddenly swung his blade, splitting the person in two.

Seeing this, the Cyan Robe Association Elders who hadn’t participated in the battle gasped. Linghu Yi is truly ruthless!

”Dustless, you haven’t even become Sect Leader yet, and already you’re slaughtering your own comrades and daring to murder a Cyan Robe Association Elder! If you were to become Sect Leader, what would become of us?” Linghu Yi stared at Ling Chen with cold eyes.

”What? Does Linghu Deputy Sect Leader not remember what he just said? Are you trying to go back on your word?”

Ling Chen gave a cold smile. How could I not guess what he’s up to? Now that I’ve defeated Meng Qi, he probably wants to go back on his word.

”I’m not going back on my word. It’s just that you, boy, are too brutal and unsuitable to lead our Cyan Robe Association.” Linghu Yi said, his eyes indifferent, ”The Sect Leader of the Cyan Robe Association must be a person of both virtue and talent. You do not yet meet that standard.”

”Is that so?”

The smile on Ling Chen’s lips widened further. ”There are always plenty of excuses if one is looking for them. Linghu Yi, you go back on your word and are unfit to be Vice Sect Leader. Now, as Sect Leader, I announce that you are stripped of your position as Vice Sect Leader and expelled from the Cyan Robe Association!”

”What did you say?”

A look of utter disbelief surfaced in Linghu Yi’s eyes. He had never dreamed that Ling Chen would dare to make the first move, to announce his expulsion from the Cyan Robe Association in front of everyone!
