Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1373: Ogre Slayer

However, in response to Liu Sheng Bushou’s furious shout, Ling Chen seemed as if he hadn’t heard it at all. His gaze, passing through the crowd, fell on Hong Ye behind.

”Come here.”

Ling Chen’s eyes glinted with a cold light, and he spoke calmly.

Being summoned like this by Ling Chen, Hong Ye felt a bit uncomfortable. However, with a sword-shaped imprint planted by Ling Chen in her mind, even if she didn’t wish to listen to him, she had to.

After all, Ling Chen was her master now.

”Take good care of her.”

Ling Chen glanced at Hong Ye, then pointed to Little Butterfly beside him. ”If she loses even a single hair, I will hold you accountable.”

”Yes.”

Reluctantly nodding, Hong Ye squatted down and helped Little Butterfly stand up.

Seeing Hong Ye’s subservience to Ling Chen, the shadow in Liu Sheng Bushou’s eyes grew darker, ”When hitting a dog, one must watch the master. No matter how disgraceful Hong Ye might be, she is still a young lady of the Liu Sheng Family. You cannot humiliate her at will.”

Although he was in a competitive relationship with Liu Sheng Hongye and they did not get along, the other party was, after all, a direct member of the Liu Sheng Family. Now that she had become Ling Chen’s maidservant, it was not just a blow to Liu Sheng Hongye personally, but also a disgrace to the entire Liu Sheng Family’s honor.

If he could rescue Hong Ye from Ling Chen’s control, he would undoubtedly become a hero in the Liu Sheng Family. And Hong Ye, after suffering such humiliation, would have no chance of inheriting the position of Family Head.

To his surprise, Ling Chen remained indifferent, a mocking smile playing on his lips, ”She is qualified to be my servant, but you are not even qualified for that.”

Wow!

As these words fell, everyone couldn’t help but twitch their eyelids. Such words, too demeaning to Liu Sheng Bushou!

Liu Sheng Bushou was, after all, one of the most outstanding figures of the young generation in the Liu Sheng Family, ranked among the top three in the young generation of Yingzhou. However, now Ling Chen said he wasn’t even qualified to be his servant. That was too much, wasn’t it?

Even Hong Ye couldn’t help but glance at Ling Chen. This guy was too arrogant, speaking such words before even crossing swords with Liu Sheng Bushou. Yet, when Ling Chen said this, she felt a slight satisfaction in her heart, causing her to secretly scold herself for being cheap. Ling Chen wasn’t praising her; she was, after all, the esteemed young lady of the Liu Sheng Family and couldn’t accept being pressed into the role of a maid by Ling Chen.

”I’m not even qualified to be your servant?”

Liu Sheng Bushou was momentarily stunned, then burst into wild laughter. This was probably the most amusing joke he had heard in his life.

Soon, his eyes turned somber, ”Since you belittle me so much, let me see what strength you have to speak such arrogant words.”

”If you kill him, wouldn’t the next Family Head of the Liu Sheng Family be you?”

Ling Chen, however, completely ignored Liu Sheng Bushou. Instead, he looked at Hong Ye beside him and asked casually.

”Probably. This person is the biggest obstacle to me becoming Family Head.”

Hong Ye nodded, then suddenly startled, ”You aren’t thinking of killing him, are you?”

”I do have that idea.”

Ling Chen did not deny it.

”I advise you not to do so.”

Hong Ye furrowed her brows and continued, ”Liu Sheng Bushou’s father is a well-known swordsman in Yingzhou, rumored to have reached the Fifth Level of the Saint Path. Moreover, Liu Sheng Bushou is highly esteemed by my father Liu Sheng Qianbingwei. If you kill him, you’ll be standing against the entire Liu Sheng Family, making it impossible for you to gain a foothold in Yingzhou.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen pondered for a moment and then nodded, a smile curling on his lips, ”It seems taking you in as my maid was the right decision. You’re already thinking on behalf of your master. Hmm, not bad.”

”You!”

Hong Ye’s body trembled with anger, wishing she could beat Ling Chen up. Unfortunately, she lacked the capability and could only swallow her frustration. She wasn’t considering things for Ling Chen but for the benefit of the Liu Sheng Family.

Despite never getting along with Liu Sheng Bushou, he was undoubtedly the first genius of the Liu Sheng Family’s young generation, destined to become a pillar of the family. If Ling Chen killed him, it would be an immeasurable loss for the entire Liu Sheng Family.

”Have you two... said enough!”

Fire seemed ready to burst from Liu Sheng Bushou’s eyes. He hadn’t even fought Ling Chen yet, and these two were discussing whether to kill him right before his eyes. Did they really think of him as insignificant, as if Ling Chen could kill him at will?

”Ling Chen, you’ve gone too far!”

With an angry shout, Liu Sheng Bushou unsheathed his sword, the samurai sword in his hand cleaving through the Void like a silver lightning bolt, striking towards Ling Chen.

This samurai sword, three feet four inches long, named Ogre Slayer, was an ancestral treasure of the Liu Sheng Family. It’s said to have been infused with the blood of extremely powerful demons, giving this Ogre Slayer its tremendous killing aura.

Liu Sheng Bushou had used this Ogre Slayer to dominate the young generation across Yingzhou, unchallenged.

Maintaining his posture of wielding the sword, the blade shimmered with purple lightning, converging at the tip.

Facing Liu Sheng Bushou’s ferocious swordplay, Ling Chen suddenly moved. The Thunder Sound Sword in his hand likewise shimmered with lightning, striking with even greater speed. Just before Liu Sheng Bushou could change his swordplay, it tapped onto the handle of the Ogre Slayer.

Clang!

Brilliant sparks scattered, the Ogre Slayer in Liu Sheng Bushou’s hand trembled violently, nearly embedding into the ground. The fearsome explosive power died stillborn, losing more than half before it could even erupt.

The remaining slashes aimed at Ling Chen were effortlessly split in half by his finger, wielded as a sword.

Clink!

Ling Chen’s sword tip tapped against the blade of Liu Sheng Bushou’s Ogre Slayer, producing a piercing sound that sent Liu Sheng Bushou flying backward, retreating twenty paces.

”It seems this guy’s strength has almost fully recovered.”

Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes gleamed with traces of light. Seeing how easily Ling Chen suppressed Liu Sheng Bushou made it evident that his strength had seemingly returned to its full measure.

However, her assumption was mistaken, as Ling Chen hadn’t fully reorganized the True Qi within him. He currently harbored about eighty percent of his peak period’s True Qi, not yet fully regained.

Ling Chen had refined many herbs that restore True Qi, accumulating considerable medicinal power within. As soon as he refines this medicinal power, he will be almost entirely restored, possibly even advancing further in his cultivation.
