Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1146 - 1145: Marquis Guiming

Ling Chen tapped his foot lightly, his body soaring like a swift swallow, weaving through the fog-shrouded bottom of Mingyue Cliff.Behind him, Yuwen Lin pursued relentlessly. The more Ling Chen fled, the more Yuwen Lin believed Ling Chen feared him.

Back on Lotus Island, Ling Chen only managed to show off by leveraging the influence of the Heavenly Eye Ancestor, but now he was all alone, with no one to rely on.

It was the perfect opportunity for him to kill Ling Chen.

Whoosh!

Ling Chen’s figure abruptly halted atop a peak. He turned to look at Yuwen Lin, but there was no trace of panic on his face.

Yuwen Lin’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped, then sneered, "What, not running anymore?"

"Why should I run?"

Ling Chen’s expression was calm, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. "Yuwen Lin, do you really think that with just you, I would need to flee?"

"Haha, bluffing again. Do you really think I would fall for your tricks a second time?"

Yuwen Lin sneered, realizing that Ling Chen had no other abilities than bluffing.

"Prepare to become a human swine for me!"

Yuwen Lin grinned, his black long knife suddenly slashing out.

The blade emitted a layer of fiery light, bursting forth from its edge.

A desolate aura spread from the knife light.

Desolate Fire City Martial Arts, Great Wilderness Yang Extreme Blade.

The scorching blade light swept over menacingly, yet Ling Chen remained still, his long sword suddenly slashing out, cutting Yuwen Lin’s knife light into two.

After shattering the knife light, Ling Chen’s long sword continued to shoot out at an astonishing speed, directly aiming at Yuwen Lin’s heart.

"What?"

Yuwen Lin was shocked, clearly not expecting Ling Chen’s sword light to be so fierce, severing his knife light in an instant.

Yet, he prided himself on being close to the Divine Marquis Level, a Heavenly Pride, and faced with such sudden changes, he did not panic. His long knife rose to block Ling Chen’s sword light.

Clang!

Bright sparks flew, and Yuwen Lin staggered back several steps. In the next moment, his long knife slashed out again, the blade light seemingly condensing into a blazing sun, releasing immense heat and energy.

Yuwen Lin was confident in this strike; his True Essence of Fire had reached seventy percent proficiency, doubling the power of his Saint-level knife technique.

"Flame Slash!"

Ling Chen also swung his sword, a scorching sword light sweeping out to meet the sun-like blade light.

His attack also contained his own True Essence of Fire.

"Ha, comparing True Essence of Fire with me is truly laughable!"

Yuwen Lin smirked. Among the disciples of the Desolate Fire Sect, the most proficient Martial Arts True Meaning was the True Essence of Fire. Using it against him was ridiculous.

"Is that so?"

Ling Chen’s expression remained unchanged, his mouth curling up. "Perhaps there’s another person here who’s overestimating his abilities."

In an instant, the sword light struck the blazing sun formed by the knife light, slicing it neatly in half, completely cleaving it apart.

"What?"

Yuwen Lin’s face drastically changed, eyes filled with disbelief. His ultimate move was so easily broken by Ling Chen? Moreover, Ling Chen used an attack also containing the True Essence of Fire. Could it be that Ling Chen’s True Essence of Fire was stronger than his?

But there was no time for further thought, Ling Chen’s next sword was already approaching, the scorching aura carrying a strong sense of oppression.

"Brother Yuwen, we’re here to help you!"

At this moment, several figures emerged from the fog behind, revealed to be Yu Wen Lin’s few disciples from Desolate Fire City, with Wei Renjie leading them.

However, after losing an arm, Wei Renjie had become much more cautious. He did not rashly attack but let the other disciples charge forward, remaining where he was.

"Good timing!"

Yuwen Lin’s face showed joy. These disciples, at the very least, possessed the cultivation of the Seventh Realm of Sky Apex and could at least delay Ling Chen for a moment, giving him an opportunity.

Ling Chen waved his hand, and the crimson Red Sky Sword floated up in the air. Suddenly, it split into five, generating five sword qis, which shot towards the approaching Desolate Fire City disciples at Ling Chen’s command.

Puff puff puff puff puff!

Before the disciples reached within ten meters of Ling Chen, they were all knocked back, coughing blood due to the sword qis, unable to harm Ling Chen at all.

"Yuwen Lin, take care of your juniors. I’m leaving!"

Ling Chen had no intention of getting entangled with Yuwen Lin further; eliminating him wasn’t easy. Ling Chen had already made his point, and if Yuwen Lin was wise, he’d know what to do next.

With that, Ling Chen activated his Sword Controlling Technique and sped into the depths of Mingyue Cliff.

"Damn it!"

Watching as the disciples of Desolate Fire City lay groaning, Yuwen Lin’s face darkened. Not only did he fail to deal with Ling Chen, but it also resulted in so many injured juniors, leaving him utterly disgraced.

"That brat dares to venture deeper inside."

Wei Renjie’s eyes flickered as he watched Ling Chen’s departing back. The depths of Mingyue Cliff were perilous beyond measure, even Saints dared not step foot there. Yet Ling Chen had waltzed right in.

"The Mingyue Heavenly Demon has been dead for three hundred years. No matter how dangerous it is inside, how dangerous can it truly be?"

Yuwen Lin’s eyes glimmered coldly; he suddenly flipped his palm, taking out a deep red signal firework. As he ignited it, it shot up into the sky, bursting into a dazzling display of fireworks.

Witnessing this, Wei Renjie’s expression also changed. "Brother Yuwen, what are you doing?"

"How can we just let this go?"

A sinister look appeared on Yuwen Lin’s face. "I’ve already called for Senior Brother Zhang to come and handle this brat, to vent our anger."

"Senior Brother Zhang Yuze?"

Wei Renjie’s face changed slightly at the mention of Senior Brother Zhang, then he nodded, smiling. "With Senior Brother Zhang taking action, destroying this brat will be a breeze."

After all, Zhang Yuze was named one of the Twelve Divine Marquises at the last Nine Realms Meeting, known as Marquis Guiming, on par with the Free and Unrestrained Marquis.

With such an expert taking the stage, a mere Ling Chen was nothing in front of him.

"Make sure Senior Brother Zhang Yuze cripples Ling Chen’s hands and feet, only then will my heart’s hatred be appeased."

Wei Renjie said viciously.

"Rest assured, we’ll turn him into a human swine, stuff him in a wine jar, and send him back to Lingyue Island."

Yuwen Lin grinned sinisterly, his smile particularly eerie.
