Ling Tian Sword God

Bang Bang Bang!

In midair, on the other side of the battlefield, the fierce claw shadows appeared every now and then. Hu Shentong used Beastification to elevate his speed and attack speed to a higher level.

Ding! Ding!

Ling Chen’s steps remained controlled within a single step, moving nimbly within that space. The Thunder Shadow Sword in his hand was like a serpent from its hole, clashing with Hu Shentong’s claw shadows.

”You can actually keep up with my pace?”

Whoosh!

His figure retreating, Hu Shentong’s form came into view, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

”Seems I underestimated you, but that’s fine, it spares us from a boring fight. Just now was merely an appetizer, the main course comes next.”

”Demonic Tiger Bloodline, explode!”

Hu Shentong roared, and in an instant, he seemed to transform into an upright Tiger person, covered in black and gold fur, his chest muscles piled upon one another, with long, powerful arms and legs, a forceful tiger tail swinging behind him, filled with a sense of wild power.

”What strong power, every time I activate the Demonic Tiger Bloodline, I feel great. Unfortunately, it’s only for a brief quarter-hour, but it’s enough to deal with you.”

”Prepare to die!”

Leaning forward, Hu Shentong’s speed suddenly soared to the limit, his right claw reaching for Ling Chen’s chest, flashing quickly in the air.

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, this was the strength of those with Exotic Beast bloodline, which combined human and beast advantages, much like the Beastman Blood Refining Technique Ling Chen had practiced before.

”Speed Sword Domain!”

Ling Chen also elevated his sword speed to the utmost, the light from his sword crisscrossing, tightly packed.

”Too slow!”

Hu Shentong broke through the sword light blockade, and suddenly, his claw was as fast as light, fiercely ripping through.

Splurt!

Ling Chen moved several steps aside, a gash appeared on his right shoulder, blood pouring.

”Haha, you’re nothing special!”

Hu Shentong laughed heartily, he was initially cautious, thinking Ling Chen, having defeated Tang Ze, might have some hidden trump card or strength possibly surpassing his own. Unexpectedly, Ling Chen, hailed as the top talent of the Southern Martial World, turned out to be quite ordinary, with nothing particularly outstanding.

Clang!

Ling Chen blocked with his sword, his whole body retreating violently.

”It’s useless, Ling Chen, my speed hasn’t reached its limit yet. Now I’ll show you the fastest speed of Hu Shentong.”

Slash!

Hu Shentong’s body darted down, disappearing again, reappearing behind Ling Chen by more than ten steps.

Thunder sparks flew from the Thunder Shadow Sword, Ling Chen had sidestepped unknown steps beforehand. If not for the claw shadow trace left in front, no one would know they had exchanged a move.

”No way, how are you so fast?”

Hu Shentong’s smile suddenly froze, pupils contracted, staring fixedly at Ling Chen.

”When did I say this was my limit?”

Ling Chen’s eyes were calm, ”Since just now, I’ve only been using eighty percent strength.”

”Absurd, do you really believe I would trust that?”

Hu Shentong absolutely didn’t believe Ling Chen’s claim of utilizing only eighty percent strength, thinking it was a bluff hoping to intimidate him, weaken his morale.

Elsewhere, Sima Linyuan was fighting Lin Chaonan and Shi Shaobao single-handedly, laughing as he saw Ling Chen hold his own against Hu Shentong: ”Looks like you’ll be disappointed, your people can’t handle my Green Mountain Association’s member.”

In truth, Ling Chen’s performance surprised Sima Linyuan some, for although Ling Chen had previously defeated Tang Ze with astounding success, it had relied on the Dragon Origin Fruit’s Medicinal Power, not Ling Chen’s real combat capability.

”Hmph, sharp-tongued boy, Hu Shentong might lose to a character like this.”

Shi Shaobao’s words belittled Ling Chen, yet he actually took Ling Chen quite seriously, for Hu Shentong prided himself on his speed, if this advantage was nullified, it would be perilous for him.

”Demonic Tiger Chases the Sun!”

Hu Shentong’s attack was fierce. He inclined forward, his claws striking out at extreme frequency, roaring like a ferocious tiger chasing the sun, savagely lunging at Ling Chen.

Ling Chen countered every move, reversing his sword to block Hu Shentong’s sharp claws, each sword strike precise with no margin of error.

”Trapped Tiger Preys, give me defeat!”

Hu Shentong suddenly lunged out like a mad starving tiger, claws reaching for Ling Chen’s throat.

”You’ll be the one defeated.”

Ling Chen withdrew, but at the same time, his aura suddenly surged, first breaking through to the Sky Apex Realm Fourth Realm, then rapidly elevating to the Fifth Level.

With the sudden rise in aura, the Thunder Shadow Sword in Ling Chen’s hand surged forth, a sword brimming with thunder light slicing horizontally across.

”Thunder Cut!”

Striking later yet hitting first, Ling Chen’s sword split the air into a cross-section, leaving no time to react, the thunder light sword qi landed on Hu Shentong’s chest, with a bang, sending him flying backward, spitting blood.

One sword stroke, Hu Shentong was defeated!

”Impossible!”

Hu Shentong coughed a mouthful of blood in disbelief.

He had never felt such a formidable pressure on himself from someone of the younger generation, initially thinking victory was within reach, but now, Ling Chen shattered his confidence with one sword strike.

”Damn, this brat actually hid his strength.”

Shi Shaobao’s face darkened, as Ling Chen’s cultivation abruptly rose, even if Hu Shentong wasn’t a match for Ling Chen, the defeat shouldn’t have been so swift, so decisive.

However, caught off guard and without time to react, Hu Shentong couldn’t hold out for long, failing to unleash his full power, defeated in a single move.

Wow!

Ling Chen drew another sword, electric currents surged in the void, this sword was fast and sharp, striking at Hu Shentong.

Crack!

Hu Shentong’s chest burst with blood and flesh, his body flying out like a sandbag, crashing against a mountain peak, like a dead dog, his former ferocious demeanor utterly gone.

”Brother Tiger!”

Shi Shaobao’s face changed drastically, he couldn’t have imagined Hu Shentong would be killed in an instant by Ling Chen, the latter only slightly weaker than himself, Hu Shentong’s defeat imposed a strong sense of threat even upon him.

If he were in Hu Shentong’s place, he might not be Ling Chen’s match either.

Who would’ve thought this kid wasn’t even on the Hidden Dragon List, made a gross oversight this time, overlooking this young man entirely.

”Haha, well done, Shi Shaobao, Lin Chaonan, looks like your plan’s going to fall through.”

Sima Linyuan was greatly pleased with Ling Chen’s performance. Bringing Ling Chen into the Green Mountain Association was perhaps the wisest choice he ever made, the other seemed a treasure, with infinite potential, combat capability steadily rising, initially when entering Burial Dragon Ancient Land, nobody paid Ling Chen any mind, but now, he has consecutively defeated young experts like Tang Ze and Hu Shentong, ranked within the top twenty of Hidden Dragon List, such progress is truly remarkable.

Whoosh!

Cold intent flashed in his eyes, Ling Chen wasn’t planning to give Hu Shentong any chance of respite, he dashed out once more, the Thunder Shadow Sword aiming straight for the struggling-to-rise Hu Shentong, targeting the latter’s throat.
