Ling Tian Sword God

”Hmph! Let’s see you survive this time!” the Elder of Myriad Beasts smirked. ”So what if Ling Chen’s martial arts are impressive? Before the Exotic Demon Beast, forget Ling Chen; no warrior in the current Martial World would be its opponent!” He evidently held extreme confidence in the Exotic Demon Beast.

Overwhelming dark tendrils enveloped Ling Chen, completely sealing off all his escape routes.

A Sword Light flashed from between his brows. The next moment, Ling Chen soared skyward. A surging Sword Intent bored a hole through the dark tendrils above, stirring a turbulent storm of wind and clouds.

”Unbeatable Sword Technique, Triple Fusion—Emperor’s Reign!”

With a roar, Ling Chen’s Sword Intent erupted as if tangible. He was like an emperor of swords, and the Intent condensed around him into a sword circle. Dense sword qi shot out from his body like blossoms scattered by a celestial maiden.

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

The sword qi swept through like a downpour, blasting all encroaching tendrils into a rain of bloody fragments.

”What? He actually broke through the Exotic Demon Beast’s blockade!?” the Elder of Myriad Beasts exclaimed, greatly astonished. Even he couldn’t break such a move.

Hmph, so what? I originally intended to save this move for Shentu Yan. I didn’t expect this brat to be more troublesome than I thought. In that case, I’ll test it on you first. The Elder of Myriad Beasts’ eyes turned chillingly cold. Immediately, he flipped his palm, took out a black flute from his sleeve, and began to play.

A demonic flute melody rang out, carrying an extremely ferocious tune. The moment this melody reached the Exotic Demon Beast’s ears, it roared furiously as if injected with adrenaline, becoming frenzied and frantic.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

Abrupt changes occurred on the Exotic Demon Beast. Two ferocious heads bored out from its body, its black flesh completely twisting and deforming. It exuded an intense madness, transforming into a monster seemingly from the Netherworld.

What is this monster?

Atop the city wall, Jiang Yunting saw this scene clearly. When he discerned the appearance of the transformed Exotic Demon Beast, he felt a wave of horror. He had never seen such an ugly and ferocious Exotic Beast before. It truly resembled a monster released from the Netherworld. If such a monster were allowed to run rampant, the entire Martial World would face a devastating calamity. After all, while ambitious individuals are detestable, they are still human. This Exotic Beast is different. If it’s left unchecked, the entire Five Kingdoms could become a living hell.

Has it been empowered by the flute’s sound?

In mid-air, Ling Chen’s pupils constricted slightly. The Exotic Demon Beast was now clearly much stronger, but it seemed to have paid for this strength with its Spiritual Wisdom. Under the flute’s melody, the Exotic Demon Beast became extremely frenzied, its eyes completely filled with a blood-red intent.

ROAR!

Opening its three mouths simultaneously, three inky-black tongues lashed out, shooting swiftly towards Ling Chen like three rays of light through the air.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The Treasure Sword in Ling Chen’s hand swung continuously, striking the tongues and producing dazzling sparks. These three tongues were not only highly flexible, able to swiftly change direction and shape, but also incredibly tough. No matter how sharp Ling Chen’s Sword Light was, it couldn’t even leave a minor cut.

”It’s useless, brat! You’re far too weak to contend with the berserk Exotic Demon Beast!” A chilling intent filled the Elder of Myriad Beasts’ face. To kill Ling Chen today, he had gone all out. As long as the Exotic Demon Beast could devour Ling Chen, its power would ascend to a new level. Then, unifying the Martial World would be a piece of cake.

ROAR! ROAR!

The three heads roared simultaneously. The next moment, the Exotic Demon Beast’s tongues retracted. Three immense black beams of energy brewed within its mouths, then, directly distorting space, they shot fiercely towards Ling Chen!

Faced with the Exotic Demon Beast’s ferocious onslaught, Ling Chen’s expression suddenly hardened. The beams were too fast; dodging would be too late. More critically, the Fire Capital was not far behind him. If he dodged, the Fire Capital might be breached in an instant.

Therefore, under these dire circumstances, he had to block the Exotic Demon Beast’s attack.

A fiercely sharp glint surged in Ling Chen’s eyes as a terrifyingly sharp aura erupted from his body. Three great Light Swords of different colors—black, gray, and gold—formed above his head, emitting an incredibly terrifying aura.

Slaughter, Despair, and Overbearing Style—the three branch attributes of his Invincible Sword Intent were pushed to their absolute limit by Ling Chen at this moment.

”Go!” Ling Chen commanded with a wave of his hand.

The three Light Swords hovering above his head also suddenly shot out one after another, rushing to meet the three immense black beams of energy.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

An earth-shattering sound resounded. The three differently colored Light Swords and the three black beams of energy collided, fiercely clashing in mid-air, each holding its ground.

At this moment, the sky seemed to be forcibly divided into two regions. On one side were the black beams of energy, surging with baleful qi that seemed to pierce the sky, as dark clouds enveloped the heavens and earth. On the other side were the three distinctly different Light Swords, seemingly holding up a section of the Void, as Righteous Qi permeated the world, appearing incomparably sacred.

On the city walls of the Fire Capital, the crowd initially couldn’t see clearly what was happening within the black fog. Only Sky Apex Realm experts like Jiang Yunting could witness the duel between Ling Chen and the Exotic Demon Beast. But now, they saw it clearly: Ling Chen was locked in a desperate battle with the Exotic Demon Beast. The earth-shattering spectacle left them profoundly shocked.

”What kind of Exotic Beast is that? It’s so terrifying! Has a ferocious spirit from Hell been unleashed?” a warrior cried out in terror.

”Horrifying! How could we possibly withstand such power? Even a Top Sky Apex Strong might not be able to withstand it! If it attacks us, we’ll all die without a burial place!”

”Who is this person contending against that peerless, ferocious beast? To think he can actually block such a terrifying creature! Which renowned Martial World expert is he?”

The numerous martial artists on the city wall all fixed their gazes on Ling Chen, their eyes glinting with astonishment.

”No matter who he is, he must hold on! If he can save everyone in the city, we, the Water and Fire Twin Blades, are willing to serve him like beasts of burden, to go through fire and water for him, without a second thought!”

”We, the Four Heroes of Tianan, pledge the same!” a group of warriors in peculiar attire shouted in unison.

”There’s no need for such servitude. You only need to do your utmost to defend the city. Our Cyan Robe Association will handle this ferocious beast,” Jiang Yunting finally spoke, his face beaming with pride as he heard their discussions.

”It’s Helm Master Jiang Yunting from the Cyan Robe Association!” someone recognized him.

”Helm Master Jiang, is that person over there also an expert from the Cyan Robe Association?” a warrior asked cautiously, pointing towards Ling Chen’s position.

”Of course,” Jiang Yunting nodded as if it were a matter of course. ”That is the Sect Leader of our Cyan Robe Association, an unparalleled genius the likes of which the Martial World has not seen in a thousand years—The Invincible Sword Sect Ling Chen.”

”What? It’s Sect Leader Ling Chen!”

”With his peerless martial arts, Sect Leader Ling Chen will surely defeat the Demons and protect the people!”

A wave of cheerful grins spread across the warriors’ faces, their confidence soaring.

After all, Ling Chen was very famous in the Martial World. Although Ling Chen was very young, it didn’t prevent him from becoming one of the titans of the Martial World, highly respected by many martial artists.

Hearing now that the one battling the Exotic Demon Beast was Ling Chen, everyone felt as if they had taken a Settling Pill.

However, Jiang Yunting’s heart had not relaxed; he remained extremely tense. As a Top Sky Apex Strong, he naturally understood how powerful this Exotic Demon Beast was. Even he himself felt his heart pound with trepidation under its oppressive might; its terrifying nature was beyond imagination. Therefore, whether they could repel this Beast Tide now depended entirely on Ling Chen.
