Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 707: Chapter 705: Ling Chen Makes a Move_1

Driven by anger, Shentu Yan released a surging wave of thunder and reached out his right hand. The storm of thunder between his palms condensed into a Long Spear, evidently formed through the compression of an immense volume of True Qi. Once molded, it seemed as if it had caused even the air to tremble violently.

This spear emanated a tremendously terrifying sharpness. Clearly, Shentu Yan intended to kill Xu Ruoyan at all costs this time.

FZZT! FZZT! FZZT!

The horrifying thunder surged on the Long Spear, with twisted ripples spreading from the spearhead.

”Die!”

With a loud shout, Shentu Yan hurled the Thunder Long Spear in his hand towards the Void where Xu Ruoyan was situated!

BOOM!

As many eyes watched intently, the Thunder Long Spear ruthlessly shot into the mountain peak where Xu Ruoyan was. Accompanied by a world-shattering explosion, a large section of the entire mountain peak was suddenly leveled and shattered into fragments.

”Junior Sister!”

Feng Piaoliu could not catch up in time and could only watch the exploding mountain peak with a gaze full of Despair.

In her current condition, Xu Ruoyan would certainly not be able to withstand Shentu Yan’s strike. At this thought, Feng Piaoliu’s heart sank completely. Xu Ruoyan probably wouldn’t make it.

A cold smile appeared on Shentu Yan’s face. He had finally eliminated this bothersome woman.

However, in the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted. After the dust and smoke had cleared, a figure gradually emerged in his line of sight, causing his expression to turn instantly gloomy.

In his view, Xu Ruoyan was unharmed; she was being embraced by another person. This person, dressed in white with a Long Sword at his waist, had an extraordinary demeanor and a calm, nonchalant air. Gently holding Xu Ruoyan, they were surrounded by a shield crafted from densely packed, multi-colored sword qi. They landed steadily on the severed mountain peak.

”Is that... Ling Chen?”

Xia Yunxin’s gaze fell on the youth in white, and her eyes suddenly widened, a trace of surprise emerging.

This youth in white was indeed Ling Chen.

”That guy, he finally came out.”

Upon seeing Ling Chen appear, Liu Feiyue let out a deep breath, her expression relaxing slightly. No matter what, they had endured until Ling Chen emerged; their mission was finally fulfilled.

”How is this possible?”

A look of disbelief appeared on Shentu Yan’s face. He quickly glanced back at the mountain peak behind him. The spot where Ling Chen had been seated was now empty, his figure having vanished without a trace.

All eyes on Green Cloud Mountain were riveted on Ling Chen.

However, Ling Chen’s expression was calm at this moment, and his attention was not on Shentu Yan at all. Instead, he was simply gazing at Xu Ruoyan, who was in his arms. His gaze was gentle, but when his eyes fell on the Metal Mask on the right side of Xu Ruoyan’s face, his expression abruptly changed.

”What happened to your face...?”

Ling Chen’s expression darkened.

”It’s fine, it doesn’t matter.”

Xu Ruoyan quickly turned her face away, biting her red lips tightly, looking somewhat flustered.

However, Ling Chen didn’t wait for her to say more and immediately reached out to remove the silver Metal Mask from her face!

Underneath the Metal Mask was a patch of deep blue-purple skin. That portion of her cheek was severely frostbitten, a vivid and conspicuous mark that drastically marred her beautiful features, giving her a somewhat terrifying countenance.

”Don’t look at me.”

Xu Ruoyan panicked, frantically covering her right cheek with her hand.

”There’s no need to hide.”

Ling Chen gently grabbed Xu Ruoyan’s hand, preventing her from covering her scar. He gazed at her and said coldly, ”In your eyes, am I such a shallow man? There are countless beauties in the world. Do you think I cherish you, Xu Ruoyan, only for your pretty face?”

Hearing his words, tears streamed down Xu Ruoyan’s face. ”I’ve wronged you... Everything... I owe it all to you...”

”Stop being foolish.”

Ling Chen chuckled softly, stroking Xu Ruoyan’s head and brushing away the strands of hair covering her cheek. ”You’ve never owed me anything. Remember, never do anything to hurt yourself again. Otherwise, I could never forgive myself.”

Upon hearing these words, Xu Ruoyan couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She threw herself into Ling Chen’s arms like a child and burst into sobs.

Hearing Ling Chen’s words made all her past sacrifices worthwhile.

”Heh, what a pair of infatuated lovers. Ling Chen, even at this point, you dare express your affection in front of me? You have no regard for me, do you?”

At this moment, Shentu Yan’s cold voice echoed. Ling Chen followed the sound and saw Shentu Yan watching him with a dark, icy gaze and a sneer.

”The current you indeed means nothing to me.”

Ling Chen calmly glanced at Shentu Yan, only to withdraw his gaze, and continued, ”From the moment I broke through to the Sky Apex Realm, your demise was sealed.”

”Haha, how arrogant!”

Shentu Yan’s face darkened abruptly. ”You’ve merely reached the Sky Apex Realm First Layer. Meanwhile, I am already at the Eighth Level of the Sky Apex Realm. The gap between our Realms is a full seven Heavy Skies! Even if you received the Four Saints Enlightenment, so what? You are still no match for me.”

”Not your match?”

Ling Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, then tapped his foot and rose into the air. He began to approach Shentu Yan, step by step. As he moved, his aura began to climb steadily with each step.

After invoking the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique, Ling Chen’s Cultivation swiftly rose to the Sky Apex Realm Third Layer. Simultaneously, a blazing flame erupted from his palm, forming a Crimson Sword engulfed in fire.

Wielding the flaming Red Sky Sword, Ling Chen’s True Qi surged rapidly. As he neared Shentu Yan, each step he took seemed to resonate with the Heavenly Earth Energy around him, as if the entire world were following his footfalls, pressing down on Shentu Yan.

Under this mounting pressure, Shentu Yan felt a great force weighing down on him, as though he were carrying a mountain on his back, or trapped in an invisible, immensely heavy prison.

”Break!”

Shentu Yan roared, his hair dancing wildly. Numerous black thunderbolts, resembling enormous Pythons, swirled out from his body, shattering the invisible prison!

The moment the prison shattered, Ling Chen accelerated, leaving an afterimage in his place. The Red Sky Sword in his hand transformed into a streak of rainbow light, shooting toward Shentu Yan at extreme speed.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Space itself seemed to be torn in two. A crimson streak of Sword Light, as if teleporting, arrived before Shentu Yan in an instant.

No, I can’t stop it!

Shentu Yan had no time to react. Just as the realization dawned, the Sword Light had already pierced through his Protective True Qi and struck him squarely in the chest.

PFFT!

The Sword Light perforated Shentu Yan’s body, leaving a large Blood Cave. The blood from the wound instantly evaporated, leaving behind a charred, blackened area.
