Chapter 1245 - 1244: Unscathed
Whoosh!
After rebounding all the blood-red flying needles, Ling Chen suddenly darted out, the Thunder Sound Sword in his left hand had already left his grasp, transforming into a rainbow and shooting fiercely towards Tang Zhenan.
Tang Zhenan was startled, unable to believe Ling Chen still had the strength to counterattack under such circumstances, and immediately he struck out with his hand, deflecting the trajectory of the Sword Light.
However, even though the Thunder Sound Sword was diverted, under Ling Chen’s control, it suddenly made a sharp turn in midair and, with astonishing speed, shot towards Tang Zhenan’s back!
"Trifling tricks!"
Tang Zhenan sneered coldly, not even bothering to look as he flung out his hand, carrying with it a violent gust of air, striking behind.
"Is that so?"
Ling Chen’s mouth curled into a mocking smile; he merely shifted his thought, and in the next moment, that Thunder Sound Sword suddenly split into ten, with ten flying swords successively assaulting Tang Zhenan’s back.
Tang Zhenan’s face changed abruptly; he turned around and slapped out in fury, while simultaneously he activated the hidden weapon Bodhi Blood, sweeping fiercely towards Ling Chen!
Tang Zhenan’s demeanor clearly indicated he intended to trade injury for injury!
He couldn’t believe Ling Chen could defend against his unique hidden weapon Bodhi Blood while controlling ten flying swords!
Yet Ling Chen, holding the Red Sky Sword, was controlling the flying swords while swiftly slashing the Red Sky Sword with precision, multitasking effortlessly.
In contrast, Tang Zhenan appeared quite embarrassed under the assault of the flying swords, and Ling Chen’s flying swords continued to multiply—starting with ten, quickly escalating to twenty, then thirty.
"Damn it! What kind of freak is this boy?"
Inwardly, Tang Zhenan cursed; he couldn’t have imagined being driven to such a dire situation, as Ling Chen effortlessly multitasked, combining ferocious flying sword attacks to restrain Tang Zhenan, the Tang Sect Leader, so tightly that he couldn’t even fight back.
In an instant, his body was covered with dense sword marks; albeit shallow, the sheer number made Tang Zhenan appear bloodied as if seriously wounded, appearing exceedingly miserable.
After finally escaping the flying sword’s attack, Tang Zhenan retreated a hundred meters before stopping, with lingering apprehension still evident in his gaze towards the flying swords.
"Sect Leader! Are you okay?"
Several Tang Sect experts hurried forward to support Tang Zhenan’s body, and then their eyes turned in shock towards Ling Chen, finding it hard to believe Tang Zhenan wasn’t Ling Chen’s match, and had been so miserably defeated.
"Everyone, attack together! Kill this strange kid!"
A fierce killing intent flashed in Tang Zhenan’s eyes; without any hesitation, he clenched his hands tightly, vast true energy surged, an overwhelming pressure erupted from within him, causing many around him to change their expressions slightly. At this moment, Tang Zhenan’s stature as Tang Sect Leader was fully revealed!
He initially thought no matter how extraordinary Ling Chen might be, he would just be his equal, yet Ling Chen proved so troublesome today. If he didn’t kill Ling Chen, the feud between Ling Chen and the Tang Sect would definitely become a grave threat in the future!
"Ling Chen, today, even if you’re a disciple of Lingyue Island, you cannot escape!"
Tang Zhenan’s face twisted hideously, disregarding Empress Yunyao’s order, Lingyue Island’s influence, all thrown aside as he took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened, an overwhelming blood aura surged behind him, seemingly forming a vast blood-red apparition, tens of meters huge.
The overwhelming blood aura enveloped, at that moment, it seemed the entire world was engulfed in a Blood Sea.
The hidden weapon Bodhi Blood flew back with astonishing speed, and in the grip of the blood apparition, it swelled with extraordinary speed, growing to tens of meters, expanding to a massive hundred meters!
"This is Tang Sect Leader’s trump card, Bodhi Blood Knife!"
Those Tang Sect experts focusing on this scene, their faces underwent subtle changes due to Tang Zhenan’s move, their exclamations rang continuously, clearly familiar with this ferocious attack.
"To kill a mere Sky Apex Realm Ninth Level fellow, the Sect Leader even resorted to this move."
"This move is the ultimate move of Bodhi Blood; the Sect Leader seldom uses it, never unless absolutely necessary."
"That boy is probably doomed, this move once directly killed two Saints in the past, some of them Second Realm Saints."
"..."
Incessant murmurs spread through the air, Tang Sect members watching Ling Chen with a cold smile, while off to the side, Ling Yin’s eyes bore a worried look—Tang Zhenan’s move indeed was extraordinary.
"Bodhi Blood Knife, Tear the Heavens!"
With overwhelming blood aura surging, Tang Zhenan’s face twisted hideously as he took a sudden step forward, his hands mimicked swinging a knife, then as if chopping a mountain, he slashed fiercely downward.
Boom!
As he swung the huge knife down, the blood-red apparition behind him also swung the giant blood knife, stirring up blood light throughout the sky, bringing with it terrifying blood ribbons and earth-shattering momentum, slashing violently towards Ling Chen.
The Heavenly Earth Energy abruptly erupted, the gigantic blood-colored Sword Light hadn’t yet landed, but the ground below already split apart with a massive crack.
"Return!"
Under the cover of the blood-colored Sword Light, Ling Chen remained unperturbed; he suddenly stomped his foot, the flying swords in midair swiftly returned, embedding into the ground surrounding Ling Chen, forming a dense defensive sword formation, protecting him at the center.
Bang!
Just as the sword formation took shape, the stunning blood knife had already slashed onto it, unleashing a deafening roar, causing the ground where Ling Chen stood to depress completely, sending terrifying debris and dust swirling.
"Attack, kill him!"
At this moment, Tang Zhenan also shouted fiercely towards the Tang Sect members.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As Tang Zhenan’s words fell, those dozen Tang Sect experts suddenly surged forward, tearing through the air, unleashing killing strikes, reaching the surrounding dust, eyes gleaming with cruelty, intending to kill Ling Chen!
Yet, barely had they reached the dust’s periphery when a towering momentum abruptly exploded from within the dust; in the next moment, flying swords shot out, swift as lightning, sweeping those Tang Sect experts, sending them flying and spitting blood!
"Lord Tang Gate, your killing move is just tickling me?"
A perfect, undamaged young figure emerged from the dust, the corner of his mouth still holding a mocking smile.
"What?"
Upon seeing Ling Chen emerge from the shrouding smoke, Tang Zhenan’s eyes also abruptly reflected a horrified expression.
