Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1239: Entering the Garden

However, the assassin’s intent only persisted for a fleeting moment before abruptly disappearing, completely restrained by Saint Qian Yan, as if nothing had happened at all.

”Third Elder, should we take action now?”

Elder Tu secretly transmitted his voice.

”Let’s wait for now. The Emperor’s Tomb has not yet appeared; there will be plenty of opportunities later, no need to rush at this moment.”

Saint Qian Yan ultimately restrained the intent to kill in his heart, choosing to endure for the time being.

With Shen Bingxin present, even if they were to act with thunderous force here, they might not be able to kill Ling Chen, and would instead alert the enemy.

”What’s up with this old guy?”

Ling Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows; although Saint Qian Yan tried to conceal it, Ling Chen keenly felt the murderous intent released by the latter just now.

”You previously killed his apprentice, Yuwen Lin. I guess he wants to kill you to avenge his apprentice.”

Beside him, Shen Bingxin spoke indifferently.

”So that’s how it is.”

Ling Chen finally understood, no wonder this old guy looked at him like he saw a bitter enemy and wanted to devour him.

”Be careful later, this old guy’s cultivation level, since he’s targeting you, he won’t rest until he’s taken your life.”

Shen Bingxin said.

”Understood, but even if this old guy is a middle-rank saint, taking my life won’t be that easy.”

Ling Chen’s eyes glinted; now that he has ascended to the Sky Apex Realm Ninth Level, even saints at the Saint Realm Third Layer are within his reach, without a hint of fear. Although Saint Qian Yan’s cultivation likely reached the peak of the Saint Dao Fourth Level, and may even be a Saint of the Fifth Level like Shen Bingxin, killing him would be difficult.

Moreover, he carries the Divine Dragon Jade and two Void Emperor Orders.

”You are quite confident, but Saint Qian Yan is an experienced old saint; even though you are now crowned as Ten Thousand Swords King, standing at the peak of the youthful generation in the Nine Provinces, the strength of the older generation should not be underestimated.”

Shen Bingxin glanced at Ling Chen, speaking gravely: ”If Saint Qian Yan truly is desperate to kill you, even two lives won’t be enough for you.”

”Disciple understands.”

Ling Chen nodded and cupped his hands; indeed, he was somewhat overconfident. A monster like Saint Qian Yan who has cultivated for hundreds of years surely has some cards up his sleeve. If the opponent truly wants to kill him at all costs, even with numerous methods at his disposal, it would be difficult to withstand.

It’s best to be cautious with everything.

”Everyone, now that most of us have arrived, let’s prepare to take action. If we don’t destroy this Undying Tree, none of us will be able to enter this Immortal Medicinal Garden, let alone obtain the Undying Fruit.”

At this moment, a seductive female voice came from the other direction in the void, surprisingly it was Princess Mingzhu from the Divine Female Sect.

After speaking, she immediately looked towards the direction of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao, focusing on Elder Len, as the Eight Great Super Sects are led by the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao.

”Princess Mingzhu is correct.” Elder Len nodded, then said: ”Under the devoted cultivation of Emperor Qinling, this Undying Tree has grown to an extremely terrifying state; if we don’t unite, we’re likely not its match.”

”Then let’s strike together.”

”Our Sword Casting Villa has no objections.”

”I also second from Desolate Fire City.”

Various forces spoke up; repelling the Undying Tree is the urgent task at hand. Without eliminating the Undying Tree, everyone can only engage in fruitless waiting here.

”Take action!”

With the various forces agreeing, Elder Len suddenly stomped his foot and swiftly leapt into the giant pit, followed by Xuannv and other powerful individuals from the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao.

Elder Len’s rapid charge caused an immensely vast chill to erupt from his sleeve, instantly forming an ice spear visible to the naked eye, which violently shot towards the Undying Tree at the center of the Immortal Medicinal Garden!

Swish!

As that ice spear tore through the air, it was only ten meters from the Undying Tree when the ground suddenly cracked, and a thick blood-colored root shot upwards, viciously striking the ice spear!

Bang!

The ice spear shattered into pieces, yet a trace of cold aura extended along the blood-colored root, freezing the entire root. Then, with a ”crack,” the entire blood-colored root shattered into fragments.

”The Undying Tree’s root has been destroyed!”

Ling Chen’s eyes lit up slightly; this Elder Len indeed lived up to being a core elder of the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao. The strike directly destroyed the Undying Tree’s root.

Or perhaps the Undying Tree isn’t as powerful as imagined?

”Merely destroying a single root is far from enough. Stay close, don’t wander too far from me!”

Shen Bingxin shook her head, and she too quickly advanced into the Immortal Medicinal Garden, with ice-blue True Qi surging from her arm. Her ice-blue longsword expanded rapidly, stretching to ten meters, exuding a chilling aura.

Ling Chen and Ling Yin immediately followed Shen Bingxin, maintaining a distance of no more than ten meters from her, while other forces such as Princess Mingzhu, Saint Qian Yan, and the Three Sword Saints also entered the Immortal Medicinal Garden, fully alert and ready for battle.

Even behind them, many strong individuals from other small and medium forces entered the Immortal Medicinal Garden. They didn’t travel all the way to the deep Qinling just to be spectators; they too hoped to seize an opportunity in the Immortal Medicinal Garden, even if they couldn’t acquire the Undying Fruit, there was a chance to collect Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, the entire Immortal Medicinal Garden erupted into chaos, with hundreds of blood-colored roots shooting out from the soil below, densely packed like fierce ancient blood pythons, making one’s scalp tingle.

Seeing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but feel startled; no wonder Shen Bingxin said it was far from enough. Destroying a single root was probably as trivial as losing a fingernail for the Undying Tree.

About twelve blood-colored roots shot towards the Lingyue Island area, and as these roots surged swiftly, Shen Bingxin suddenly shouted to everyone: ”Focus, fight with all your might!”

Hearing Shen Bingxin’s words, a sense of imminent danger gripped everyone, including Ling Chen, preventing any relaxation. They maintained a tight formation, forming a circle to guard against attacks from all sides.
