Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1160: Murderous Intent

”Is this the third stage of the Sword Controlling Technique, the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords?!”

The Marquis Guiming’s eyes revealed a hint of disbelief. He still couldn’t believe that he had actually been defeated, defeated by this young man in front of him.

Although he felt extremely resentful and humiliated, the swordsmanship Ling Chen had just displayed was astonishing to him.

If he hadn’t seen wrong, the swordsmanship Ling Chen had just used was the highest stage of the Sword Controlling Technique.

”Yes, it is indeed the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords.”

Ling Chen didn’t deny it. In this world, many people recognize the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, and understanding the Sword Controlling Technique was no secret, so there was no need to hide it.

”It’s really the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords!”

After confirming this, the shock in Marquis Guiming’s eyes intensified. His face quickly darkened, ”Who would have thought that at such a young age, you’ve reached the third stage of the Sword Controlling Technique.”

He had once seen a swordsman achieve the third stage of the Sword Controlling Technique, but that person was a well-renowned Sword Saint, entirely different from Ling Chen.

Ling Chen hadn’t even reached the level of a Saint, yet had cultivated the Sword Controlling Technique to the third stage, reaching the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords realm. This was unprecedented.

Even if there were once people like this, they were likely supreme experts like Taibai Sword Immortal who achieved such heights.

”Your blade technique is quite good too. If my Sword Intent hadn’t broken through to the Saint level, I might not have been your match.”

Ling Chen’s expression was calm. If he hadn’t obtained the Dragon Soul Pearl from Mingyue Heavenly Demon, breaking his Sword Intent through to the Saint level in one leap, he couldn’t have improved the Sword Controlling Technique to the third stage.

Without using the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, other moves would likely be difficult to withstand Marquis Guiming’s Hell Asura Slash.

”But now, you are no longer my opponent.”

A glint of light appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes; fortune had favored him in this contest. Regardless, the result now was that he was the victor, and Marquis Guiming was the defeated.

”I have not yet lost!”

Marquis Guiming immediately swallowed an elixir to restore his True Qi and sneered, ”With your Sky Apex Realm cultivation, it’s probably quite strenuous to use the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords, right?”

”Now, there is likely little True Qi left in your body, and you are not in much better shape than I am!”

Manifesting over a hundred flying swords is a monumental task. Even though Ling Chen possesses Saint Sword Intent, the True Qi reserve in his body is clearly limited. Managing to use the Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords probably drained all of Ling Chen’s True Qi.

The same move could certainly not be performed a second time by Ling Chen.

”Truly stubborn.”

Ling Chen shook his head and immediately his eyes focused, ”Even if I have less than three points of True Qi left, defeating you is still a piece of cake.”

Having said this, Ling Chen’s figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot, already transforming into a blurred light, rapidly charging towards Marquis Guiming’s position!

”Arrogant!”

Marquis Guiming was enraged too. Who did Ling Chen think he was, daring to look down on him? What he detested most was people who became arrogant after a minor success.

Golden light shot out from Ling Chen’s eyes, with True Qi suddenly flooding into the Thunder Sound Sword in his hand as he unleashed the Blue Lotus Capture.

”Break!”

Marquis Guiming gripped his blade with both hands, slashing forward four times consecutively, forming a cross-shaped pattern that sealed the Void ahead.

Bam!

The Green Lotus Sword Qi struck the cross-patterned blade net, instantly causing a fierce explosion. The blade glow and sword qi annihilated large swathes suddenly, simultaneously collapsing, with the shocking aftermath sweeping in all directions.

”Blocked! Kid, I told you, I haven’t yet lost!”

Marquis Guiming’s eyes lit up, feeling assured. The moves they had just used were both with their remaining True Qi, essentially their last strike. Ling Chen’s last sword couldn’t defeat him.

”I knew Senior Brother Zhang wouldn’t lose so easily!”

Wei Renjie’s eyes also showed signs of joy. Marquis Guiming indeed had profound cultivation and a deep foundation, not something that could be easily defeated.

”Is that so?”

The sharp light in Ling Chen’s eyes was practically bursting forth. In the next moment, from the center of his brow, an extremely sharp aura suddenly emerged - a three-foot-long light sword intertwined in blue-gold colors pierced the Void, shooting towards Marquis Guiming at a shocking speed beyond the speed of sound!

”What?”

Marquis Guiming only saw the distant light sword coming. From it, he felt an exceptionally powerful sword spirit aura. This was Ling Chen’s Sword Spirit Embryo; this kid actually was willing to let the Sword Spirit Embryo leave his body!

Buzz!

The three-foot light sword pierced Marquis Guiming’s brow, and with a single ”buzz,” Marquis Guiming suddenly felt a burst inside his mind. The Blade Spirit Embryo within his mind suffered severe damage without any defense, almost shattered to pieces.

With such a heavy blow, Marquis Guiming’s head felt like splitting, losing consciousness, falling from mid-air.

The three-foot light sword made a return, flying back into Ling Chen’s brow. Looking at the falling Marquis Guiming, a flash of murderous intent appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. In an instant, he thrust his sword in the air towards the vital spot of Marquis Guiming.

Seeing this, whether it was Gu Wuqing, Leng Qianshang, Lin Wan, Zhou Qingqing, or others, their expressions changed. Was Ling Chen intending to decisively kill this Marquis Guiming?

”How dare you?!

Wei Renjie’s eyes nearly bulged out. It seemed this kid intended to take this opportunity to kill Marquis Guiming?

Gulp!

Leng Qianshang swallowed hard again. Marquis Guiming, just the name held formidable effect. But now, Ling Chen actually intended to kill him? This... was truly daring!

If Marquis Guiming were slain by Ling Chen, probably all of Desolate Fire City would go mad?

”Hmph, when Marquis Guiming took action against us earlier, wasn’t he also intending to take our lives? Does it mean he can kill us but we can’t kill him?”

Zhou Qingqing snorted coldly. After the initial shock, a wave of pleasure surged within her. Kill, kill, kill them all!

She was now eager for Ling Chen to slaughter all the people from Desolate Fire City; that would truly satisfy her!

”I’ve said it too, at worst it’ll lead to war between two sects!”

Even the usually calm Lin Wan bit her silver teeth, her face slightly fierce.

However, just as Ling Chen’s Sword Light was about to pierce Marquis Guiming in the air, suddenly a thunderous roar sounded from the sky.

”Wretched brat, cease immediately, or I’ll eradicate your nine relations!”

The thunderous voice was extremely piercing. Everyone felt a buzz in their ears, then swiftly turned their gaze in the direction from which the sound came. There, stood an old man with red beard, his aura extremely powerful, having evidently reached the level of a Saint.

”It’s Elder Tu!”

Upon seeing the red-bearded old man, a flash of joy appeared on Wei Renjie and other disciples of Desolate Fire City.

The person who came was precisely their ninth elder of Desolate Fire City, Elder Tu.

Yet, Ling Chen seemed to completely ignore such thunderous rebuke. His Thunder Sound Sword continued unabated, charging towards Marquis Guiming’s heart!
