Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1089: Chapter 88: Lingyue Island

”Farewell!”

Ling Chen only glanced at the site of the explosion briefly before abruptly turning and flying off rapidly on his sword toward the eastern sea.

”Do you think you can leave after injuring people?”

Capture God’s face suddenly darkened. He charged forward, enveloped his body with True Qi, and transformed into a golden streak of light, pursuing swiftly.

At this moment, in the air where smoke billowed, the figure of the gray-robed elder gradually emerged. When the smoke dispersed, it revealed a charred figure, his clothes in tatters, his body a blur of flesh and blood, clearly heavily injured from the earlier explosion.

”You little bastard, if I don’t tear you to pieces, I’ll swear not to be human!”

The gray-robed elder was so infuriated his eyes nearly bulged out, spitting another mouthful of blood. However, he didn’t stop to heal, but rather abruptly swallowed a black-brown elixir.

After consuming this unknown black-brown elixir, the gray-robed elder’s declining aura quickly recovered to its peak level in a short time!

However, consuming such an elixir caused considerable harm to the body. Yet, if Ling Chen were to escape now, not only would he be unable to face his family, but letting Ling Chen escape would be akin to releasing a tiger back into the mountains, and the repercussions would be endless!

Swoosh!

At the moment his cultivation recovered rapidly, the gray-robed elder immediately dashed out, pursuing in the direction Capture God was chasing Ling Chen!

By now, Ling Chen had already escaped several miles away, but behind him, Capture God relentlessly pursued, his eyes like hawks, locking onto Ling Chen.

”What a troublesome guy.”

Ling Chen turned to glance at Capture God. The latter, like a venomous snake, was fixated on him. Although Ling Chen had pushed the speed of his Flight of the Sword to the limit, the opponent’s tracking methods were too superior to shake off.

However, shortly thereafter, Ling Chen noticed another streak of light shooting towards him, it was the gray-robed elder who had regained his strength.

”That old thing has caught up too?”

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed involuntarily. Logically, after the explosion and a stab from the Thunder Sound Sword, it should take ten days to half a month for recovery. How did this old thing recover so quickly?

”You little bastard, today you can run but you can’t hide!”

The gray-robed elder’s eyes burned with hateful flames. Never had he suffered such a loss from a mere Sky Apex Realm youngster. Whether public or private, Ling Chen absolutely must die today.

”He won’t get far!”

Capture God also said in a deep voice. Although Ling Chen’s speed in Flight of the Sword was fast, Capture God’s speed was unparalleled. The distance between them closed at an almost palpable rate. Besides, Ling Chen’s cultivation was far inferior to theirs; no matter how fast he ran, there’d be a time when they’d catch up.

Previously, Ling Chen had relied on that peculiar Array Formation to contend with the two Great Saints. Now that the formation had dissipated, with what could he still confront the two of them?

Ling Chen, of course, was well aware of this. To confront two Great Saints head-on, even if he managed a narrow escape, the price would be extremely high.

Gazing toward the misty sea ahead, Ling Chen’s eyes fell upon a vague area in the distance, precisely the direction the ship had sailed from earlier.

If his guess was correct, there was certainly a Secret Realm deadzone there.

Moreover, it was likely hiding a sect power.

Ling Chen’s heart stirred slightly. Since there was no escaping anyway, he might as well venture into this forbidden zone.

Lowering his flight altitude, Ling Chen plunged into the dense fog, dashing toward the target area.

”What’s that kid trying to do?”

Seeing Ling Chen dive into the fog, Capture God’s eyes suddenly flashed with a tinge of surprise. From his experience, this dense fog surely signified a forbidden zone. Was Ling Chen so desperate to rush into danger?

But thinking it through, Ling Chen faced death either way, aiming to gamble on a slim chance of survival.

”Wishful thinking.”

Capture God’s eyes gleamed coldly. With a sudden wave of his hand, dozens of Soul Chasing Bees flew out, drilling into the fog from various directions.

”So, Capture God, are you confident in capturing this child?”

The gray-robed elder frowned, asking.

”Rest assured, I’m ten percent confident.”

With the positioning of the Soul Chasing Bees coupled with his powerful tracking abilities, even if the surrounding environment is harsh, Ling Chen cannot escape his tracking range.

Beneath the dense fog lay a vast expanse of the sea.

As Ling Chen flew low over the sea, he saw a ship flying a moon flag sailing east. Judging by the attire of the people on board, this was indeed the ship Ling Chen had seen a few days earlier.

The gaze slightly condensed. In the line of sight, the ship was sailing towards the depths of the thick fog, and the sea ahead was automatically splitting apart. The fog dispersed, revealing a massive group of islands within.

On the group of islands stood majestic palaces, surrounded by clear mountains and waters, lush forests, in an orderly layout, as if isolated from the world in a fairyland.

At this moment, on that ship, the effeminate young man had a somewhat gloomy expression. He spoke to the gentle woman beside him, ”This trip ended in failure. Initially, we intended to bring Master Yan to the palace to treat the Second Elder, but Master Yan unexpectedly failed to keep his appointment and was intercepted by people from Desolate Fire City.”

”It’s not like you don’t know; Desolate Fire City and our Lingyue Island have always been at odds. They intercepted Master Yan, clearly because they knew we wanted him to heal the Second Elder’s poison, and did this deliberately.”

The gentle woman also frowned. Even though she had a mild temper, she still harbored deep hatred for Desolate Fire City, a sect that had been her adversary for centuries.

”Desolate Fire City is truly detestable. Sooner or later, our Lingyue Island will destroy this sect and turn all the disciples of Desolate Fire City into slaves.”

The effeminate young man gritted his teeth and said, apparently having suffered significant losses at the hands of those so-called ”Desolate Fire City” people before.

”Let’s report this incident after we return.”

The gentle woman nodded and then waved her jade hand, directing the ship into the restriction. However, just as the ship slowly entered the array formation, suddenly, a light shadow streaked past above them, rushing into the array formation at high speed!

”Who goes there? How dare you!”

Seeing that someone dared to break into the sect’s forbidden area, the many Lingyue Island disciples on the ship were stunned. Then the effeminate young man reacted, letting out a sharp, harsh shout.

However, that figure paid him no attention and continued to dash towards the deeper area at an astonishing speed, showing no sign of stopping.

There was no doubt that the figure was Ling Chen.

”You beast, stop right there for me!”

Seeing this person completely disregarding him, the effeminate young man’s face darkened. The next moment, he abruptly activated his True Qi, also stepping into the air. Behind him, a pair of blue mechanical wings spread out and flashed suddenly.

”Looking for death!”

Seeing that the figure had no intention of turning back, a flicker of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the effeminate young man. He directly mobilized his True Qi and slashed towards Ling Chen behind him with his sword.

Rip!

The air was torn like fabric, and a ghostly blue Sword Light absorbed the water vapor in mid-air, like an ice blade, directly aiming for Ling Chen’s back.

Just as that ice blade was about to hit Ling Chen’s back, the latter suddenly turned around, and wielded the Treasure Sword in his hand without any extravagance, striking the ice blade.

Crack!

The ice blade was split into two segments, exploding into pieces in mid-air, shattered.

”Hmph, you fell for it.”

The effeminate young man grinned, but this sword was not so simple. In the instant the ice blade burst, an astonishing chill rapidly spread over Ling Chen’s sword, freezing his entire sword-wielding arm in the blink of an eye, and soon his entire body into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Walking up to Ling Chen’s side, the effeminate young man sneered coldly, ”Kid, I told you not to run, and yet you ran. Do you think you can escape?”

”You unruly kid, do you know how grave a crime it is to intrude on our Lingyue Island without permission?”

The effeminate young man curved his lips cruelly, lifted the Long Sword in his hand, and aimed it at Ling Chen’s right arm from mid-air, smiling coldly, ”As punishment, let’s sever both your arms first.”

Having said that, a flash of coldness flickered in his eyes, and he then slashed down towards Ling Chen’s right arm.

But just as the Sword Light was about to descend, in the vision of the effeminate young man, Ling Chen’s face within the ice sculpture suddenly revealed a smile, causing the young man’s pupils to flicker. The layer of ice covering Ling Chen erupted, and the Long Sword in Ling Chen’s hand vanished into thin air like a flash of lightning.

Pfft!

Before the effeminate young man’s sword could injure Ling Chen, his right hand had already taken a hit, blood spilling into the sky, his Long Sword flying away. He screamed miserably, being jolted backward by the Sword Energy.

”Brother Mo!”

The gentle woman swiftly moved up to catch the effeminate young man. Her eyes fell on the young man’s right arm, where a long sword scar nearly ran through his entire arm, bleeding profusely and severely wounded.

”Your Excellency’s hand is too harsh.”

The gentle woman’s pretty face turned grim, speaking in a cold tone.

”Your brother’s hand was probably not gentle either.”

Ling Chen’s expression remained unchanged, speaking with a casual demeanor, ”Rest well for ten days to half a month, don’t circulate True Qi in the right arm, and it will recover naturally.”

”Who exactly are you, Your Excellency? Could it be, you are from Desolate Fire City?”

The gentle woman’s pupils flickered slightly, and then her pretty face quickly turned cold.
