Ling Tian Sword God

As the shadow collapsed, Liu Qing’s body was completely exposed under the violent Black Dragon, followed by the terrifying attack pouring down.

The black Protective True Qi that surrounded him dimmed almost instantly, as the fire lotus heavily crushed onto his body, obliterating his Protective True Qi.

Puh!

This time, Liu Qing was sent flying, his clothes shredded into pieces, leaving him in utter defeat and disarray.

As the battle result emerged, the whole area immediately erupted in commotion.

”Impressive! To have defeated a Half-Saint powerhouse!”

”And he’s an Elder of the Liu Family, no ordinary character, yet defeated so easily.”

”Who is this person? I can’t wait to know his identity.”

Over on the Green Mountain Association side, everyone was chattering, curious and speculative about the identity of the grey-robed man.

”Liu Qing’s techniques were completely seen through by his opponent; it would be surprising if he had won.”

Ling Chen shook his head, at this moment he had already vaguely guessed the identity of the grey-robed man.

Yin and Yang give birth to each other, Yin and Yang counteract each other.

Liu Qing’s martial arts contain the intention of ultimate Yin and coldness, whereas the grey-robed man just used martial arts with the intention of ultimate Yang and firmness, a relationship of restraint more complex than it seems.

”Elder Liu Qing!”

The remaining experts of the Liu Family, upon seeing Liu Qing defeated, quickly gathered around him to support him.

At this moment, Liu Qing was fully awake, his gaze fixed on the grey-robed man, seeing a dozen similar grey-robed experts around the latter, dispelling his thought of attacking en masse.

Moreover, there was also a group from the Green Mountain Association supporting Ling Chen, evidently, he had lost the chance to kill Ling Chen.

It’s so frustrating.

Liu Xi’s heart was very gloomy; he never expected this action to fail, even losing Liu Feng, and worse, he himself suffered serious injuries.

”Still not leaving? Or don’t you want to leave?”

The grey-robed man looked at Liu Qing, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

”Let’s go!”

Liu Qing’s heart trembled; the grey-robed man had the power to say such words; in his seriously injured condition, it would be easy for the other party to take his life.

He didn’t even dare to ask the other’s name and fled with the group of Liu Family experts.

”Retreat!”

Sima Linyuan and the others were all surprised, this grey-robed man forced a dignified Half-Saint Elder of the Liu Family into such a miserable state, wasn’t he afraid of retaliation from the Liu Family?

Ling Chen was also filled with questions; who was the grey-robed man, why did he save him? However, he still cupped his hands to the grey-robed man, saying, ”Thank you for the rescue, may I ask Your Excellency’s name, and why do you...”

Yet before Ling Chen could finish his words, the grey-robed man had already caught him, without letting him say more, she confined him and took Ling Chen directly onto a bird beast covered in dark feathered wings.

”Ling Chen!”

Sima Linyuan, Ye Ming, and other members of the Green Mountain Association were all surprised, immediately preparing to catch up.

”Don’t chase, rest assured, our young miss won’t harm that kid.”

The experts following the grey-robed man lined up, blocking Sima Linyuan and his group.

”Young miss? Could you please tell us, what is her identity?”

Sima Linyuan cautiously asked.

”Sorry, we can’t disclose that, farewell!”

Coldly leaving a message, the group of experts under the grey-robed man’s command turned around quickly and disappeared from the spot.

”These mysterious people, could they be harmful to Ling Chen?”

Ye Ming and others voiced concern.

”Probably not; if they wanted to harm Ling Chen, why would they risk offending the Liu Family to save him?”

Sima Linyuan shook his head, ”Besides, that person’s strength is formidable; what they intend to do, we cannot stop.”

At present, they could only hope that the grey-robed man wouldn’t do anything harmful to Ling Chen.

...

On the outskirts of the Burial Dragon Ancient Land, in a valley.

Ling Chen was brought here by the grey-robed man forcibly, and only then did they stop.

Finally released from confinement by the grey-robed man, Ling Chen cautiously looked at the other, ”Who are you, what are your intentions?”

Despite not knowing the grey-robed man’s intentions, Ling Chen wasn’t panicked, as the force of the Human Emperor had almost fully recovered; if the other tried to take his life at this time, the Human Emperor’s will transformed wouldn’t stand idle.

”You truly are a cautious kid.”

The grey-robed man laughed, then undid the wide grey robe, tossing it aside, revealing a stunningly enchanting fiery red silhouette.

The woman had dark red long hair, eyes like water, radiating a teasingly seductive aura yet with a subtle coldness, seemingly able to see through everything, delicate fingers, skin like jade, a pinkish hue amidst the whiteness as if water could be wrung from it, lips bright red, smiling, dignified and elegant, radiant and captivating.

She wore fiery red light armor, where the armor connected revealed ample snow-white skin, uplifted hips, full and plump chest, crafting a curve that provoked one’s bloodline, making it impossible to look away.

However, compared to the woman’s beauty, Ling Chen was more surprised by her age; this red-haired woman’s age evidently only twenty-three, not much older than him.

At such an age, she was able to defeat a Half-Saint level expert, even with some tactical tricks, the feat was still astounding.

”Are you from the Liu Family?”

Ling Chen’s expression slightly tightened, then he asked.

”Did you guess it?” The red-haired woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

”Yes,” Ling Chen nodded, ”Someone capable of understanding Liu Family techniques like this, is very likely to be from inside the Liu Family.”

After speaking, Ling Chen looked up at the red-haired woman, ”You must be that unmatched prodigy of the Liu Family, Liu Mengru, right?”

”Indeed, a smart fellow, not unworthy of being my aunt’s son, inheriting her keen intellect.”

Liu Mengru approached Ling Chen, touching her fragrant cheek, smilingly speaking.

”Your aunt, my mother, how is she now?”

Ling Chen heard about Liu Xiling, and immediately asked with a tense expression.

”Relax, she’s temporarily fine, just under house arrest.”

Liu Mengru waved her hand, signaling Ling Chen to be at ease.

”As long as you’re alive, Xing Saint Family won’t agree to the alliance; without the alliance, my aunt naturally won’t be harmed.”

”That’s good,” Ling Chen finally exhaled a sigh of relief; His greatest worry was the situation of Liu Xiling in the Liu Family; hearing Liu Mengru’s assurance, a heavy stone in his heart finally settled.
