Ling Tian Sword God

”Yin-Yang Sword Song?”

Ling Chen was taken aback momentarily. It had been quite a while since he had last heard this name. Only now, as Xu Ruoyan mentioned it, did he retrieve this title from his dusty memories.

The Yin-Yang Sword Song. This was the distinct Swordsmanship he used to practice with Xu Ruoyan after the minor sword conference in the City of Ze. This Swordsmanship was an undisclosed secret of the Sky Void Palace. To this day, Ling Chen still remembered what Xu Ruoyan had told him at the time. This Swordsmanship’s level was indefinite; it could be King-level Lower Grade, or it could be Saint-level. Its power was not fixed; its power depended on the spiritual affinity between the man and woman who cultivated it. The stronger the affinity, the greater the power of the Swordsmanship, and vice versa.

The current situation left no other options. The True Qi in his body was almost depleted; he couldn’t even form a complete Eight Wastes Fire Dragon technique, and Xu Ruoyan was in the same state. However, if they used the Yin-Yang Sword Song, they could combine their powers to launch powerful sword techniques.

The only thing was that he and Xu Ruoyan had only practiced the Twin Swords technique together once, and he truly had no idea how powerful it could be.

”Alright!”

Ling Chen hesitated for only a moment before nodding. Time waits for no one. Now that everyone was at the end of their rope and helpless, whoever could think of a decisive killing blow would be the winner!

The mnemonic of the Yin-Yang Sword Song flashed through Ling Chen’s mind. His figure moved, suddenly charging out and flying into mid-air. He swung out a sword full of Yang’s energy of extreme heat.

This sword strike, seemingly slow but actually incredibly fast, drew a crescent-shaped sword qi in the sky, forming a cluster of pure white sword qi.

At the same time, Xu Ruoyan also unleashed her sword. She swung out a sword imbued with Yin’s energy of extreme cold, its properties the complete opposite of Ling Chen’s Sword Light. As soon as the two streams of sword qi touched, they immediately began to fuse, like golden wind meeting jade dew.

After the sword qi merged, it suddenly formed a Yin-Yang Taiji pattern. Once successfully formed, the pattern began to expand rapidly, growing to a hundred meters in diameter and enveloping Shentu Yan.

”You wish to trap me? Dream on!”

Shentu Yan would not simply wait for his doom. While the Yin-Yang pattern had not yet fully solidified, he preemptively struck. A Thunder Spear materialized in his hand, and his entire being shot upwards, fiercely thrusting the Thunder Spear towards the Yin-Yang pattern.

BOOM!

The Thunder Spear slammed hard into the Yin-Yang Taiji pattern, causing a deafening roar. However, the next moment, the Yin-Yang pattern suddenly began to rotate. With a CRACK, the Thunder Spear snapped in half, unable to affect the Yin-Yang pattern in the slightest.

”Suppress!”

The thunder exploded on the Yin-Yang pattern without causing any disturbance. Following Ling Chen’s shout, he pressed down with his palm. The Red Sky Sword in his hand and the Blue Moon Sword in Xu Ruoyan’s hand simultaneously angled downwards. The Yin-Yang pattern abruptly and heavily pressed down onto Shentu Yan.

”Dammit, how could I possibly die in a place like this! Break!”

Shentu Yan screamed crazily, continuously striking the Yin-Yang pattern. However, he was consistently unable to break it; all of his palm force was scattered.

His offensive broken, before Shentu Yan could make another move, Ling Chen and Xu Ruoyan had already flown down. Their Twin Swords, combined, whistled out, swelling in the wind. Two intersecting streams of sword qi imprinted a cross on the Yin-Yang pattern and descended ruthlessly.

Sword lights emerged from the pattern one by one, their sharp, cold glints all aimed at Shentu Yan.

”Ah!”

Shentu Yan screamed as a sharp pain, like countless needles pricking him, washed over his body. Looking at the descending Yin-Yang pattern, fear emerged in his eyes. He knew that if he were to be suppressed by this Yin-Yang pattern, this might very well be the moment of his utter annihilation.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Shentu Yan desperately attacked the Yin-Yang pattern. Finally, under his frenzied bombardment, a crack appeared on the Yin-Yang pattern.

CRACK!

In the center of the pattern, a large fissure surfaced, and a look of delight immediately spread across Shentu Yan’s face.

”Die, scum!” Ling Chen roared.

The moment the crack appeared, Ling Chen gripped his sword with both hands and fiercely thrust it towards the fissure.

SHINK!

The Sword Light stabbed precisely through the fissure, piercing the Yin-Yang pattern and entering Shentu Yan’s body.

The instant the sword pierced Shentu Yan’s body, Ling Chen abruptly withdrew the Red Sky Sword and retreated. Blood instantly gushed out.

This strike had impaled Shentu Yan’s heart.

Even a Top Sky Apex Strong was bound to die if their heart was penetrated.

”Damn it... I was so close...”

Shentu Yan’s gaze dimmed rapidly, his face filled with unwillingness. He had been so close to sweeping aside all obstacles, uniting the entire Martial World, and achieving an immortal legacy.

Just one step short...

The vitality in his eyes finally dissipated. Shentu Yan’s body crashed to the ground, lifeless.

The entire mountain fell silent.

All eyes were fixated on the spot where Shentu Yan’s body lay. Even now, they could hardly believe that Shentu Yan was dead. They feared Shentu Yan might suddenly rise again, as he had before.

However, their hesitation was brief. Ling Chen had already landed beside Shentu Yan’s corpse. With a swipe of his Long Sword, he decapitated Shentu Yan.

Holding Shentu Yan’s head, Ling Chen swept his gaze over Green Cloud Mountain. Then, his calm voice instantly echoed throughout the entire Green Cloud Mountain.

”Shentu Yan is dead. We’ve won.”

The moment Ling Chen’s voice sounded, a ray of sunlight pierced through the cracks in the dark clouds above. Fresh air from the outside world poured in, instantly shattering the gloomy shroud that had enveloped the area.

Warm sunlight once again descended, blanketing everything. As everyone saw the light and the lush greenery in the distance, the overwhelming feeling of having survived a catastrophe made them unable to restrain their joyous shouts.

After so many twists and turns, they had finally secured victory in this battle.

”At last, it’s truly over.”

Liu Feiyue couldn’t help but smile. With Shentu Yan dead, the terrifying war that had engulfed the entire Martial World could finally end.

The faces of the other experts from the Righteous and Devil Alliance were also filled with excitement. With Shentu Yan’s death, their great vengeance was achieved. They had weathered the storm and finally seen the dawn; their day of reckoning had come.

A faint pallor touched Xu Ruoyan’s beautiful face. She glanced at Ling Chen, whose expression showed no hint of joy, then lowered her head and slowly sheathed the Long Sword in her hand.

”Are you alright?”

Arriving beside Ling Chen, Xu Ruoyan couldn’t help but ask. Understanding his current state of mind, she continued in a soft voice, ”Don’t worry too much. There must be a way.”

”When all my meridians were severed, you found a way, didn’t you? It will be the same this time.”

After Xu Ruoyan finished speaking, she sighed quietly in her heart. Back then, her meridians were merely severed. But this time, Xia Yunxin’s soul had been shattered. The hope of rescuing her seemed incredibly slim.
