Ling Tian Sword God

"Resistance is futile; it brings no benefit to you."

Beneath the oppressing clouds, Dao Yi True Immortal’s eyes remained indifferent, as if viewing the world from a godly perspective, looking down upon mortals, taking none into account.

Seeing Dao Yi True Immortal make a move, a heavy intent suddenly appeared in the eyes of many strong warriors.

The scene where Dao Yi True Immortal broke the Array Formation with one finger was still vivid in their minds. No one in the Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao could withstand such a terrifying figure.

However, this had nothing to do with them. Dao Yi True Immortal was coming for the Wood Emperor Order, and they were unwilling to risk their lives for it.

Thus, as Dao Yi True Immortal acted, the powerful figures from the surrounding major sects all retreated, avoiding confronting Dao Yi True Immortal head-on for the time being.

True Qi surged in Dao Yi True Immortal’s arm, and amidst their astonished gazes, he sent out a palm strike across the air, True Qi transforming into claw-like energy shooting out.

The black claw rapidly expanded in mid-air, from merely palm-sized to several tens of meters, looming over Xuannv below.

This black claw emanated a destructive aura, and before it even reached Xuannv, the ground beneath her feet was already crushed and sunken. Under this strike, not to mention Xuannv— even Elder Len would be pulverized here.

Whoosh!

Just as this destructive claw was about to fall, Ling Chen’s figure flashed, straight and sharp like a sword, appearing before Xuannv.

"Ling Chen, what are you doing?!"

Shen Bingxin and the others were all taken aback; at such a critical moment, why was Ling Chen jumping into this chaos? The enemy’s strength was impeccably unfathomable, and none of them had the slightest chance of resistance. Ling Chen’s rash advance was no different from seeking death!

"This guy, is he really risking his life for Xuannv?"

The Spiritual Heart Saint’s face looked displeased and somewhat angry. In her view, Ling Chen had no idea how valuable his own life was. How could he risk it so easily for someone from another sect?

"This kid, going up there to find death himself."

In the Divine Female Sect’s area, Princess Mingzhu smirked and shook her head, "I thought this kid had potential, but it turns out he’s a fool who can’t see the situation clearly."

With Ling Chen’s limited strength, attempting to resist Dao Yi True Immortal was undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"What are you doing?"

Xuannv noticed Ling Chen suddenly appearing in front of her, slightly stunned and a bit confused.

"What do you think I’m doing? Of course, it’s to save you."

Ling Chen glanced at the massive claw descending above, then turned his head slightly to look at Xu Ruoyan behind him, "Aren’t you moved speechless yet?"

Xuannv shook her head, "My life and death are my own concern; there’s no need for you to risk your life."

"But whether I save you or not is my own business."

Ling Chen turned back around, showing only half of his face, "If I block this blow for you and survive, can we count as life-and-death friends?"

"Don’t be reckless..."

Before Xuannv could finish, Ling Chen’s figure had already dashed into the air, drawing out the Soul Destroying Sword from his waist. With True Qi poured into the Black Sword, a terrifying wave intent on devouring souls emanated from it.

Ling Chen felt his True Qi rapidly draining away, sucked into the Soul Destroying Sword at an almost tangible speed, even his spiritual power showed signs of depletion. He was becoming dizzy, unable to resist the sword’s backlash.

"Reckless boy, even using the Soul Destroying Sword, do you think you can withstand this attack?"

While Ling Chen was giving his all, the Human Emperor’s voice resounded in his mind.

"Emperor Master!"

A sudden gleam appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes. The Human Emperor’s will had not appeared for a long time, and he thought it had fallen into slumber. Unexpectedly, it reappeared now.

"There’s no choice. Whether I can withstand it or not, I have to try to know. Potential only erupts in desperate situations."

An intense light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes; he couldn’t just watch Xuannv die in front of him.

"Besides, aren’t you here, a powerful deity..."

Ling Chen chuckled. If it wasn’t for the Human Emperor backing him, maybe he truly wouldn’t have the courage to confront Dao Yi True Immortal.

"I can’t deal with you, kid."

The Human Emperor’s voice sounded helpless, "I’ve just barely recovered some Vitality Energy, yet being squeezed dry by you already, sigh..."

"Thank you, Emperor Master!"

Ling Chen’s eyes sparkled. With the Human Emperor’s power, he was practically secured.

"But don’t be too happy yet, I only have a single Transform of will, incapable of sustained output. The Soul Destroying Sword is a powerful vicious weapon. I can swing one sword at most before exhausting my power."

Seeing the joy on Ling Chen’s face, the Human Emperor couldn’t help reminding him.

"One sword should be enough!"

Light burst forth in Ling Chen’s eyes. With just one opportunity, he should use it to defeat Dao Yi True Immortal, right?!

All thoughts flashed through Ling Chen’s mind in an instant, and at that moment, the black claw had already expanded to a hundred meters, completely covering Ling Chen’s figure.

Dao Yi True Immortal’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold glint. His palm clenched tightly, and the hundred-meter massive claw in the sky gripped Ling Chen’s body firmly, squeezing it fiercely!

At the moment when the hundred-meter claw tightened, Shen Bingxin and others felt a violent jolt in their hearts, a sense of despair surfacing in their eyes. Could it be Ling Chen was now crushed to death?

"What a pity."

Many powerful figures from the super sects shook their heads. Ling Chen was at least a Youth King, with considerable accomplishments in the Sword Way. For him to fall here, it was indeed a shame.

"Why did this guy do this?"

In the instant when the claw clenched, Xuannv turned pale, her heart wrenching. Could this frivolous, laughing guy genuinely sacrifice himself for her?

Even those with iron hearts melt when faced with someone willing to die for them.

What kind of connection did she and Ling Chen share to cause him to go to such lengths for her?

Did they have some intimate relationship before?

Otherwise, why would Ling Chen be the only one to help when all other major sects looked on indifferently?

In the distance, in mid-air, Dao Yi True Immortal’s eyes remained cold. Ling Chen was a significant obstacle in subjugating Xia Yunxin. Now that he had removed him, he effectively pulled out a thorn in his side.

Crack!

However, just as this thought arose, an unexpected, narrow crack with light appeared on the hundred-meter massive black claw, making Dao Yi True Immortal’s pupils shrink abruptly.
