Ling Tian Sword God

"Kid, I told you long ago, my things aren’t so easy to take. Daring to fool me, you must be ready to pay the price."

Killer intent gushed forth from Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s eyes as if it were tangible, her pale hands quickly covered by a sinister white aura, resembling skeletal claws of a deceased, emanating a deathly force.

"Wait!"

Ling Chen’s face changed slightly, then suddenly called out, "Old Demon Mingyue, didn’t I just take your Dragon Soul Pearl? I’ll return it!"

With that said, Ling Chen also suddenly swung his sleeve, and a deep-colored Treasure Pearl, about fist-sized, shot rapidly forward, flying towards Mingyue Heavenly Demon.

"Now you know how to beg for mercy?"

Mingyue Heavenly Demon sneered coldly, then extended her hand to retrieve the Dragon Soul Pearl, but the next moment, her smile froze, and her palm tightened, crushing the Dragon Soul Pearl into dust.

"You dare trick me?"

Killer intent gathered like substance, Mingyue Heavenly Demon stared intensely at Ling Chen, her gaze almost devouring him.

The Dragon Soul Pearl contained no trace of energy; evidently, the Dragon Soul Power within had been completely exhausted by Ling Chen, leaving it no different from an ordinary worthless pearl.

Swish!

Murderous intent erupted, and Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s skeletal claws tore through the air towards Ling Chen aggressively, intending to split Ling Chen’s body in half!

Without hesitation, Ling Chen turned and ran; facing such an array, there was no need to think—he was absolutely no match!

However, as Ling Chen had only just fled a dozen meters away, the nearby black-robed hooded man suddenly raised his palm, revealing a mysterious black net, faintly manifesting like a spider’s web forming in space, sealing off Ling Chen’s path ahead.

Without a word, Ling Chen raised his Thunder Sound Sword, transforming it into a burst of thunder light, fiercely slashing at the black net.

Yet the indestructible Sword Light, upon touching the black net, was completely neutralized, causing the net to warp under the slash, but from the net surged a rebound force, sending Ling Chen flying back!

This rebound caught Ling Chen unprepared, and the Mingyue Heavenly Demon, initially tens of meters away, suddenly appeared behind him.

"Brat, let’s see how you run now?"

Mingyue Heavenly Demon grinned, and her sinister claws reached to tear at Ling Chen’s back, fiercely probing his heart.

Seeing Ling Chen’s chest about to be torn apart by Mingyue Heavenly Demon, at the last moment, from the left, a laser-like crimson beam shot forth, releasing an astonishing aura of destruction, speeding towards Mingyue Heavenly Demon!

"What?"

The sudden appearance of the crimson beam shocked Mingyue Heavenly Demon, her body halted, abandoning her advance towards Ling Chen as the beam sliced through the void, grazing her face!

Struck with fear, Mingyue Heavenly Demon realized that had she not stopped, being hit by this crimson beam might not have killed her, but would certainly have caused severe injury.

"Who?"

Following the direction of the crimson beam, Mingyue Heavenly Demon narrowed her eyes, spotting a woman fully cloaked in a wide black robe emerging from the darkness.

The woman’s face was hidden by the cloak, completely invisible, but the aura emanating from her was like a black hole—obscure, dark, powerful—surpassing even Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s own.

"Your Excellency is also a Demonic Path follower, why would you save this kid."

Seemingly sensing the demonic aura from the mysterious black-robed woman, Mingyue Heavenly Demon furrowed her brow, suspecting the woman was a Demonic Cult Leader, but why would she intervene to rescue Ling Chen?

"Because he’s mine."

The mysterious black-robed woman lifted her hood, cascading hair fell like a waterfall, revealing a face of devastating beauty, porcelain skin, mesmerizing eyes, a face devoid of any seductive intent yet capable of enchanting any man.

"Yours?"

Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s brows furrowed even tighter, unexpectedly Ling Chen not only had Lingyue Island but also such a strong supporter.

"Senior Sister Xia."

The moment the mysterious black-robed woman appeared, Ling Chen recognized her instantly; whether by Xia Yunxin’s aura or voice, he could discern it in a moment.

But he dared not confirm it easily, for Xia Yunxin’s aura now was far stronger than before.

"You’re such a troublesome person."

Xia Yunxin turned, glanced at Ling Chen, yet her words carried no blame, "Had I not known you were here, you’d have been in dire danger this time."

"This time was indeed a bit reckless."

Ling Chen nodded; Xia Yunxin was right. He hadn’t expected Mingyue Heavenly Demon to be lurking, had he known, he wouldn’t have rushed into the tomb so hurriedly nor separated from Shen Bingxin and the others.

"But luckily you are here, Senior Sister."

A smile appeared on Ling Chen’s face as he slowly exhaled, his originally tense heart calmed significantly; only few in the world could make him feel this way—his mother Liu Xiling, his father Ling Tianyu, and Xia Yunxin.

Back at Cloud Outland, Xia Yunxin silently watched over and guarded him within the Saint Witch Religion, even until her last breath, she fought desperately to protect him.

Later, even if it meant opposing Ling Chen or the entire world, it mattered not. Awakening Xia Yunxin made all sacrifices worth it in the end.

"Why so mushy all of a sudden."

Xia Yunxin’s face flushed slightly, but it faded in an instant as she turned her gaze towards Mingyue Heavenly Demon, her voice becoming icy, "But now that I’m here, no one will harm a hair on your head."

"Joke!"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue Heavenly Demon sneered suddenly, "Do you really think you’re invincible with a bit of regard? I’ll see how capable you are to dare speak so arrogantly!"

With that, icy intent surged from Mingyue Heavenly Demon’s eyes, her True Qi erupted violently to the extreme!
