Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1195: The Realm of Following Your Heart with Sword

”Is this guy in such a hurry to reincarnate?”

From the direction of Desolate Fire City, Wei Renjie couldn’t help but sneer when he saw Ling Qianji’s eager expression. With Ling Chen’s strength, they wouldn’t dare to get close, yet this guy dared to approach voluntarily. His courage is indeed commendable.

”Not necessarily. Ling Qianji, after all, is the leader of the Ling family’s younger generation. His strength has reached the level of an outstanding individual. He might not necessarily be weaker than Ling Chen.”

Beside him, Tang Wuxi frowned and said.

”Even a hundred Ling Qianjis wouldn’t be a match for that kid.”

Wei Renjie shook his head.

Ignorance is fearless. These people haven’t seen Ling Chen’s true strength with their own eyes, so they naturally don’t know how terrifying he really is.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wuxi frowned even more. He was increasingly suspicious that Wei Renjie might have suffered a major loss at Ling Chen’s hands, otherwise, why would he be so afraid of him?

”Senior Brother Ling Chen has finally made his move.”

Lin Wan, Zhou Qingqing, Chen Qingzhi, and others all perked up. They had long wanted to see Ling Chen in action.

”Let’s see Cousin Ling Qianji crush this traitor!”

Ling Han Ye said viciously.

In the center of the arena, Ling Qianji smiled and said to Ling Chen, ”Show me your tricks, or else you won’t stand a chance to win!”

Ling Chen smiled faintly without wasting words. His right hand lightly brushed the sword hilt, not even truly touching it, yet the Thunder Sound Sword had already unsheathed itself. Drawing the sword, swinging the sword, sheathing the sword, three movements fused into one, faster than lightning.

Clang!

A crescent-shaped sword qi abruptly struck the half-drawn blade of Ling Qianji, dazzling sparks flying diagonally like a hook scythe.

Ling Qianji’s body bent like a bow, his feet scraping the ground, sliding over a hundred meters away, his expression utterly astonished.

He hadn’t even had time to react, his body already flew uncontrollably, losing to Ling Chen without even understanding how it happened.

”Is this... the realm of Follow your Heart with Sword?!”

On the high platform, the White Robed Swordsman stood up excitedly, exclaiming.

”Follow your Heart with Sword? Is it impressive?”

Other elders were puzzled. They didn’t understand much about the Sword Way, but seeing the White Robed Swordsman’s excitement, they could guess that the realm of Follow your Heart with Sword was not simple.

”More than just impressive.”

The White Robed Swordsman shook his head with a look of appreciation. ”Follow your Heart with Sword is the realm achievable only after mastering the highest level of Sword Controlling Technique, Controlling Gift of Hundred Swords. Even many Sword Saints from ancient and medieval times who practiced the Sword Controlling Technique rarely reached this realm. To see it today in such a young person is truly a talent favored by the heavens, a celestial being in appearance...”

”Then this lad is a rare Sword Way genius not seen in hundreds of years?”

Hearing the words of the White Robed Swordsman, the many judges were finally shocked and understood Ling Chen’s significance.

”Despite being the leader of the younger generation of the Ling family, with cultivation reaching the Semi-Saint Realm, Ling Qianji was instantly defeated by Ling Chen of merely the Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm. Ling Chen’s ability to do this likely depends on the realm of Follow your Heart with Sword.”

Yet another elder familiar with the Sword Way spoke.

”In that case, the place among the outstanding should belong to Ling Chen.”

The numerous judges nodded in agreement.

”Damn, how could this happen?”

Ling Han Ye’s eyes nearly popped out, showing an unbelievable expression. He couldn’t believe that with Ling Qianji’s strength, he was so easily defeated by Ling Chen. The two are clearly not on the same level.

”I advise you all to try not to become enemies with Ling Chen in the future.”

Ling Xue shook her head and sighed. She knew Ling Chen’s potential very well. His current strength was probably beyond her imagination. Since Ling Chen had no ill intent toward the Ling family, why should they insist on becoming his enemy?

”How did Ling Qianji become so useless?”

Tang Wuxi looked at the center of the venue with an unpleasant expression. He was preparing to watch a good show, but it ended before it even started. Ling Qianji was simply a useless weakling.

”I told you, even a hundred Ling Qianjis wouldn’t be a match for that kid.”

Wei Renjie coldly sneered, then glanced at Tang Wuxi. ”This kid isn’t someone you can handle, save it.”

Hearing this, Tang Wuxi couldn’t help but ponder, then his eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that the Third Elder of their Tang Family was indeed killed by Ling Chen? This kid’s strength had surpassed their Tang Sect’s Third Elder?

Thinking of this, Tang Wuxi’s scalp tingled. Wei Renjie was right. If this was true, Ling Chen wasn’t someone he could deal with.

”This is truly a worthy opponent for me.”

Amazing battle intent surged in Peerless Sword’s eyes. Ling Chen’s realm of Follow your Heart with Sword ignited his fighting spirit. This young man before him indeed deserved to be his greatest rival.

”Impossible, how could I lose? You must have cheated!”

After steadying himself, Ling Qianji seemed to have gone mad, ignoring the already decided outcome, swinging his sword fiercely towards Ling Chen, stabbing at Ling Chen’s back.

However, Ling Chen had no intention of turning back. Only when Ling Qianji approached did he suddenly flick his sleeve, launching two streaks of sharp sword qi from his fingertips.

Clang! Pfft!

The first streak of sword qi knocked Ling Qianji’s long sword flying. The second streak of sword qi hit Ling Qianji’s chest, sending him flying backwards, coughing up blood, unconscious.

”Sigh, losing the person and the battle.”

Ling Xue and Ling Han Ye had already moved to Ling Qianji’s side, preparing to take him away. At this moment, Ling Chen’s voice came over, ”Sister Ling Xue, tell Ling Qianji when he wakes up that I have no desire to be enemies with the Ling family, but if he insists on being stubborn, I won’t hesitate to take his life.”

”Hmm, thank you for your mercy.”

Ling Xue nodded, lifted Ling Qianji’s body, then looked at Ling Chen again. ”Also, thank you for calling me Sister Ling Xue again.”

With that, she and Ling Han Ye supported Ling Qianji back to the Ling family camp.

”No matter the relationship between me and the Ling family, the bond between you, Sister Ling Xue, and me will never change.”

Ling Chen’s voice came again from behind, causing Ling Xue’s delicate body to tremble slightly.

With those words, what more could I ask for?

Watching Ling Xue’s somewhat lonely back, Ling Chen also sighed softly. Whether for Ling Xue, or Ling Lie and Ling Tingfeng, Ling Chen felt guilty. If he had the chance in the future, he would certainly repay their kindness. But as for the entire Ling family, Ling Chen had no fondness anymore, and he didn’t want to have any more entanglements with them.
