Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 574: Chapter 572: Di Ming Flying Knives_1

Having defeated Long Zaiyuan, Su Ziling flew back to his original mountain peak.

”I didn’t expect your understanding of the Essence of Shadow to have reached such a level.”

Mo Tianya looked at Su Ziling with a grave expression. Initially, upon seeing Long Zaiyuan’s fierce attacks, he had thought Su Ziling might lose. However, regardless of how Long Zaiyuan attacked, Su Ziling handled it with ease. In the end, despite suffering minor injuries, he securely claimed victory.

If it were him, dealing with Long Zaiyuan would not have been easy.

”Twelve clones. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.”

Yun Qinghong also smiled faintly. Su Ziling is probably an opponent that none of them would like to encounter because he is too difficult to deal with.

”Don’t worry, you two are safe. My target isn’t you,” Su Ziling chuckled nonchalantly, his gaze turning to another mountain peak not far away. There stood the four traditional Grand Masters.

”Young people are truly formidable.” The voice at the end of Su Ziling’s gaze was old and weathered; it was Xuanwu Shen Zong Huyan Xiong. He seemed quite emotional as he spoke faintly.

”This kid indeed deserves some attention.” Yin Tianxi narrowed his eyes. Although his purpose for this trip was to deal with Ling Chen, he also had to pay attention to the threatening younger generation. His status as one of the world’s four great masters must not be lost.

”Let it be. I hope this kid challenges me.” Invincible Blade Yue Ruhai laughed heartily, a glint of excitement in his eyes. It’s been a long time since these old bones have stretched.

”There will be a chance.” Wan Jianzong Fang Baiyu also spoke up suddenly, smiling faintly. ”This sword debate has just begun.”

He had a hunch that their traditional Grand Masters would certainly be challenged by the younger generation, and it was hard to say whether they could win this time.

”Long Zaiyuan, as expected of the genius of the Dragon Hidden Clan, gives me the same feeling as Baili Xuance, who surprised the world as soon as he made his move.” Ling Chen sat in his seat, having watched the entire fight thoroughly. Long Zaiyuan could certainly be described as having lost with honor.

”Long Zaiyuan’s performance seems to make him the likely candidate to become the foremost individual after the Four Outstanding Talents.” Liu Feiyue noticed the agitation among the younger generation and then looked at Ling Chen with a faint smile.

Others might not know, but she knew very well who was most worthy of this title.

”It’s just a meaningless title.” Ling Chen was not interested at all. He wasn’t even particularly interested in the title of the Four Outstanding Talents, let alone being the foremost individual after them.

Liu Feiyue naturally knew the extent of Ling Chen’s ambitions and said no more. Their last bout had been two months prior. During these two months, she didn’t know how much Ling Chen’s strength had increased. Of course, there had certainly been some improvement, but how much and to what extent, she had no idea.

「On the other side of the crowd.」

The people of the Black Market made way, and Leng Jue walked out from among them.

Leng Jue is on stage. Who is he going to challenge? The pupils of the crowd contracted. In the tier just below the Four Outstanding Talents were Leng Jue and Ling Chen. Long Zaiyuan had already been defeated, and Ling Chen had only bested Duanmu Ci. Now, it was finally Leng Jue’s turn. His opponent will definitely not be an ordinary one.

”Cold-Blooded Gun God Mo Tianya!” Leng Jue raised his head, his gaze locked on Mo Tianya’s position. It seemed as if he could pierce the Void, conveying his burning will to fight.

”You’ve held a position among the Four Outstanding Talents long enough. It’s time for someone else to take your place. And I, Leng Jue, will be the first to succeed.” The significance of being the first to succeed was enormous. Once word spread, people would say that Leng Jue was the first among the younger generation to successfully usurp a member of the Four Outstanding Talents.

”It seems you’re very confident, but I most enjoy crushing such confidence.” Mo Tianya smiled coldly. His figure drifted down, landing gently onto the surface of the lake.

Leng Jue brought his hand, which had been behind his back, forward and pointed at Mo Tianya. ”Don’t think that just because you’ve held a position among the Four Outstanding Talents for many years, you’re invincible. If I hadn’t refrained from joining the competition among the younger generation, I would definitely have a seat among the Four Outstanding Talents. Mo Tianya, are you ready to make room?”

HISS!

Leng Jue’s brazen attitude left many people dumbfounded. It had been a long time since they had seen anyone openly challenge one of the Four Outstanding Talents, let alone so blatantly.

”Defeat me then. Let’s see the basis for your confidence!” Mo Tianya’s gaze sank slightly. Although he felt a surge of anger, he didn’t underestimate his opponent. This was no ordinary foe. After Long Zaiyuan’s appearance, Mo Tianya had shed all disdain for anyone.

He held his long spear, its body emanating a dark glow that seemed to flow like frigid water.

”Alright! Brace yourself!”

The lake water beneath Leng Jue’s feet instantly exploded. He dived, charging straight forward like a furious dragon.

The moment he moved, two flying daggers had already appeared in his hands. The flying daggers shot out like two rays of light, aiming directly at Mo Tianya.

DING! DING!

Sparks scattered. Mo Tianya’s long spear flicked out repeatedly, deflecting the two daggers. However, once airborne, the daggers suddenly changed shape as if an internal mechanism had been triggered. Like two lotus flowers, the daggers spun in mid-air and flew back towards Mo Tianya.

Is this... the Heavenly Remnant Flying Knife of the Black Market Master? Ling Chen was taken aback. This dagger technique was very similar to the skill he had seen the Black Market Master use in the Tienzong Ruins.

”Not the Heavenly Remnant Flying Knife, but the slightly inferior Di Ming Flying Knives.” Liu Feiyue shook her head. ”The Heavenly Remnant Flying Knife is the Black Market Master’s unique weapon and is unusable by others. Since Leng Jue apprenticed under the Lord of the Shadow Tower, what he uses should be the Lord’s Di Ming Flying Knives.”

Ling Chen’s face showed sudden understanding. The Black Market experts excel in hidden attacks. Although these Di Ming Flying Knives may not be as good as the Heavenly Remnant Flying Knife, they probably aren’t far apart.

After deflecting the two Di Ming Flying Knives in succession, Mo Tianya suddenly counterattacked. His long spear, carrying the momentum to part seas and sunder waves, swept out fiercely.

SPLASH!

The Nine Dragons Lake could not withstand such powerful spear pressure and abruptly split to both sides.

”Hmph, well struck!” Leng Jue neither retreated nor advanced. The sleeves on his entire arm blasted open, revealing an arm shimmering with metallic light. True Qi surged wildly from his arm, instantly transforming into a ferocious green python. Baring its fangs and claws, it shook its head and tail as it lunged towards the spear’s radiance.

BOOM!

The spear’s radiance and the green python collided. The impact nearly overturned the center of Nine Dragons Lake, sending countless torrents of lake water rushing into the sky, forming a water column a hundred meters high.
