Ling Tian Sword God

Sizzle!

Two figures both retreated from the expanding force waves, appearing evenly matched!

Using the power of the Dragon Origin Fruit, Ling Chen could now confront Tang Ze head-on!

”Tang Ze, it seems you’re not much, being only sixteenth on the Hidden Dragon List.”

Ling Chen steadied himself and looked up at Tang Ze with a smile. Engaging directly allowed him to understand Tang Ze’s strength; without the support of the Dragon Origin Fruit, he likely couldn’t have faced Tang Ze head-on.

”It’s too early to celebrate, kid. I’ll show you my true strength!”

Tang Ze sneered as True Qi surged wildly. The Sunflower Hidden Weapon in his hand suddenly shot forth and split into three, spiraling towards Ling Chen.

Ding ding ding ding!

Ling Chen remained in place, wielding the Red Sky Sword with high-frequency slashes, knocking the three Metal Sunflower Hidden Weapons away. Yet each time he deflected them, in just the blink of an eye, they returned to launch another strong attack on Ling Chen.

Using this unique ”Sky Rain of Flowers” hidden weapon to entangle Ling Chen, Tang Ze discreetly took out numerous blue silver needles. These needles were also powerful Tang Sect hidden weapons, called ”Ice-soul Divine Needles,” made from Extreme Cold Xuan Iron and contained terrifying cold power that significantly hinders the enemy’s movement upon impact.

Knowing poison needles were ineffective against Ling Chen, Tang Ze abandoned the idea of using them. After all, even the potent Seven Steps Heartbreak Powder was useless against him, so there was no need to try other poisons.

Swish swish swish!

The Ice-soul Divine Needles shot out, piercing towards Ling Chen from different angles, but just as they neared, intense blood-red light suddenly shimmered from several points on Ling Chen’s body. These turned out to be blood-red Dragon Scales, protecting him at those critical spots.

Clang clang clang!

Three Ice-soul Divine Needles struck as if on metal, failing to harm Ling Chen and bouncing away.

”What?”

Tang Ze’s eyes narrowed, surprised by Ling Chen’s defensive move, which filled him with frustration at how much tougher Ling Chen was now, compared to before.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind broke as Ling Chen’s body flickered multiple times in mid-air, returning three sword strikes that knocked the Sunflower Hidden Weapons away.

His cold gaze collected the scattered hidden weapons, reforging them into one. Tang Ze’s expression grew even more sinister, realizing conventional tactics wouldn’t suffice against Ling Chen.

”I didn’t expect this kid to be so difficult...”

Murong Ying’s face darkened slightly, not expecting someone he once considered insignificant to become so troublesome now.

”Kid, I admit, I underestimated you from the start. That’s my mistake, or things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.” Tang Ze’s voice was icy, not angry but filled with chilling resentment and malice.

Ling Chen’s eyes squinted slightly, his hand slowly tightened around the Red Sky Sword, remaining vigilant. He sensed a disturbing energy stirring within Tang Ze, causing even Ling Chen to feel uneasy.

”But this ends here!”

Tang Ze expressionlessly took a step forward. Behind him, Murong Ying’s face showed slight changes as he watched his back.

”Is he going to use that move?”

Murong Ying’s eyes narrowed.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince Party’s experts also retreated swiftly, distancing themselves from Tang Ze.

Tang Ze ignored the retreating crowd, his gaze solely locked onto Ling Chen. A cruel smile emerged on his face as his hands clasped together, rapidly weaving various hand signs.

Buzz buzz!

With the changes in Tang Ze’s hand signs, his True Qi began to ripple, spreading a suffocating energy.

”Ling Chen, now let me show you our Tang Sect’s millennia-old ultimate art!”

Tang Ze shouted fiercely, then the metallic Puppet Wings on his back unfurled suddenly. In a low shout from his mouth, ”Heavenly Cunning Spell!”

Boom!

An almost violent vast True Qi surged from Tang Ze, and under its sweep, his body displayed unique ancient patterns. His muscles churned, blue veins extended like little snakes.

Rip rip!

The sound of tearing muscles echoed painfully. Tang Ze’s face showed some pain, but even more cruelty, as if he could already see the scene of tearing Ling Chen apart bit by bit.

With Tang Ze’s transformation, black lines emerged from his body surface, resembling dark witchcraft, making him appear like a barbarian covered in fierce black tattoos.

”Heavenly Cunning Spell? That’s Tang Sect’s supreme secret art! To think Tang Ze is so desperate, unleashing his ultimate trump card against Ling Chen so wildly.”

Ye Ming and others were slightly shaken, witnessing the ”Heavenly Cunning Spell” from the Tang Sect for the first time, truly astonishing.

It seemed this ”Heavenly Cunning Spell” was just a short-term mutation enhancing secret technique. Still, Tang Ze appeared stronger not just physically, but had improvements in all areas.

In Tang Ze’s pupils were now terrifyingly savage glows. His body bent slightly, then suddenly moved after locking onto Ling Chen’s position, vanishing with a whoosh.

Ling Chen’s pupils abruptly contracted at Tang Ze’s disappearance, then he quickly turned, thrusting the Red Sky Sword fiercely towards a space behind him.

Bang!

A figure suddenly emerged, and a fist, covered in black line patterns, tore through the air, colliding head-on with the tip of Ling Chen’s Red Sky Sword, unleashing terrifying power.

The Red Sky Sword actually bent under the immense force. Ling Chen flew backward; his arm clutching the sword trembled uncontrollably, nearly losing his grip. Blood-red Dragon Scales appeared on his arm, gleaming and defusing the terrible power.

As Ling Chen was repulsed, Tang Ze launched hidden weapons again, manipulating ”Sky Full of Flowers” in his current state; petals moves with terrifying speed, surpassing sonic speeds, shooting towards Ling Chen.

”Ascending Green Lotus!”

Ling Chen unleashed the Green Lotus Sword Song, a giant green lotus growing massively, emitting sword qi that spread outwards. Yet, the densely packed hidden weapons petals rained heavily from above, clashing with the spreading sword qi, dazzlingly colliding and entwining.
