Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153: Breaking Free

At this time, in the abandoned underground palace.

After Ling Chen left, the entire palace returned to a dead silence, but suddenly, the sound of ”rustling” footsteps reverberated, and a youth in a blue robe appeared in the underground palace.

The white-clad woman, who had her eyes closed tightly, suddenly opened them, her gaze falling on the blue-robed youth.

The blue-robed youth had an outstanding and unrestrained aura, and on his robe was a vivid embroidery of a Kunpeng pattern, with a faint True Qi flowing across it.

After the blue-robed youth appeared, he walked directly towards the white-clad woman. He raised the Treasure Sword in his hand and suddenly slashed forward, splitting a Taoist sculpture into two halves.

Immediately, he struck another sword, shattering another Buddha sculpture as well.

With the destruction of the two sculptures, the eyes of the white-clad woman brightened suddenly, and an extremely violent aura surged from within her, with a black air energy exploding and spreading in all directions.

Densely packed crescent Qi Blades shot out, shattering all the chains that bound the white-clad woman, as well as the two walls, which exploded into fragments.

”Damn cow-nosed old Taoist, bald donkey, you’ve trapped me here for so many years, but finally, I have managed to escape.”

A trace of joy appeared on the face of the white-clad woman. She had been trapped here for three hundred long years, constantly yearning to break free, and finally, today, she had succeeded.

”Senior Mingyue, please come with me. I am taking you to meet someone.”

The blue-robed youth showed a faint smile and said.

”Who?”

The white-clad woman was somewhat surprised, as she had never met this blue-robed youth, nor did she know why he was helping her escape.

”You’ll know when you get there.”

The blue-robed youth didn’t explain further, but then added, ”What I can assure you, Senior, is that you will be very pleased to meet that Lord, and that Lord also enjoys dealing with such powerful Demonic Cult Leaders like you.”

”Seeing as you’ve helped me escape, I will meet them then.”

The white-clad woman nodded, but the next moment, her eyes flooded with a cold gleam, ”However, before that, there is an annoying kid I want to slaughter first.”

The kid she referred to was, of course, Ling Chen, who had tricked the Dragon Soul Pearl from her. She would never let this go.

”Right now, the place is filled with core disciples from Lingyue Island and Desolate Fire City, as well as four Saint level Elders,”

The blue-robed youth remained calm and said softly, ”Currently, Senior Mingyue has just escaped and your strength is barely a tenth of its peak. If you get entangled with them, it might be troublesome to escape again.”

Hearing this, the white-clad woman pondered for a moment and then nodded, ”You indeed make some sense. In that case, I’ll let that kid live a little longer and first go to meet that Lord you mentioned.”

The white-clad woman was quite intrigued by this ”Lord” hidden behind the scenes. After three hundred years, there probably weren’t many demons from her era still around.

As for Ling Chen, she planned to deal with him once she regained her strength.

At that time, she would drain all the blood from Ling Chen’s body to satisfy her grudge.

After saying this, she moved alongside the blue-robed youth, disappearing from the palace.

...

After escaping from the underground space, Ling Chen proceeded outward from Mingyue Cliff, leaving its vicinity.

Both the underground monster and the imprisoned Mingyue Heavenly Demon were extremely dangerous, and Ling Chen did not wish to encounter them a second time.

To escape the underground monster, Ling Chen had already used the Phoenix scroll given by Shen Bingxin. Should he encounter such powerful Exotic Beast again, without such protective Treasure, it would be uncertain if he could leave safely.

”First, find a place to rest.”

Ling Chen had been injured in the underground palace, only barely withstanding the Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s attacks and then struggled to escape from the underground monster, exhausting a large amount of True Qi.

Currently, Ling Chen was already at his limit and urgently needed to find a place to rest, recovering his near-depleted body.

Finally, about a quarter of an hour later, Ling Chen found a relatively concealed mountain cave, descended his body, and entered the cave.

Sealing the cave entrance, Ling Chen sat down cross-legged inside.

Taking out a Jade Bottle, Ling Chen swallowed several Elixirs to restore his True Qi, and then began to heal through breath regulation.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Within Ling Chen’s body, a stream of black air slowly flowed, like serpents, wreaking havoc amidst his flesh and blood, but under the stimulation of Ling Chen’s True Qi, these black streams were peeled off from the True Qi.

These strands of black air were remnants of the Dragon Soul Power previously infused into Ling Chen, incorporating not just the Dragon Soul Power of the Azure Water Demon Dragon but also a thread of True Qi from the Mingyue Heavenly Demon.

The True Qi of the Mingyue Heavenly Demon bore an unusual toxicity, which conventional True Qi couldn’t easily dissolve, but this remaining energy proved excessively troublesome, not only undigested but even growing a bit stronger.

”If this is left unchecked, it might become a significant threat.”

Ling Chen slightly furrowed his brow, feeling a chill at the thought. If not for the Saint level Mingyue Heavenly Demon, known as a notorious Female demon from three hundred years ago, he’d have already succumbed to the Array Formation when the Dragon Soul Pearl’s trickery almost took his life, followed by having the demonic’s True Qi invade him; any regular person would have fallen to it long before, unknowingly facing death.

Having identified the problem, Ling Chen immediately used the power of Divine Dragon Jade to engulf and neutralize this trace of the Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s True Qi inch by inch.

After spending about half an hour, Ling Chen finally completely dispelled this strand of True Qi of the Mingyue Heavenly Demon.

Restoring his Vital Energy and spirit to their peak state, Ling Chen let out a slow breath, flipping his palm, bringing forth the black Dragon Soul Pearl to his palm.

”Although nearly falling to that Female demon’s trap, obtaining this Dragon Soul Pearl makes it all worthwhile.”

Gazing at the Dragon Soul Pearl in his hand, shining with deep gleam, a faint smile played on Ling Chen’s lips. With this Dragon Soul Pearl, he felt confident his Sword Intent could reach new heights, challenging the level of the Saint Sword Intent.
