Chapter 1350 - 1349: A Desperate Gamble

Chapter 1350: Chapter 1349: A Desperate Gamble

In the moment he infused True Qi into the Soul Destroying Sword, Ling Chen felt as though he had opened the gates of hell. An extremely terrifying wave of destruction swiftly reversed its path from his palm, like a current, quickly sweeping through Ling Chen’s entire body.

Ling Chen’s body shivered suddenly, as if he had fallen into an abyss. This feeling made his every hair stand on end involuntarily. He finally experienced firsthand the real terrifying aspect of the Soul Destroying Sword.

A scent that could destroy everything.

Black energy quickly stained Ling Chen’s sword-holding right hand, even the bulging veins on his hand turned black. All vitality was annihilated, and it was possible that his entire arm would be wasted!

But at this moment, Ling Chen had no time to worry about such things!

A sharp intent suddenly flashed through his eyes, and Ling Chen’s grip on the Soul Destroying Sword tightened. With a loud clang, he abruptly pulled it out!

Roar!

At this moment, the Flame Python formed by the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock had already swept over. Under the intense activation of Saint Qian Yan and the other two, it was thousands of feet huge, covering the sky, bringing with it a tremendous wave that had reached Ling Chen’s head.

"Slash!"

Without any unnecessary movements, Ling Chen slashed out with the Soul Destroying Sword. In the instant of the swing, the sound of thousands of spectral wails resounded from the sword, penetrating the soul.

The Soul Destroying Sword dragged out a black trajectory in mid-air, twisting the space, as if carving out pieces of black crystals while that black sword qi swept out like a long river, turning the entire mid-air into black.

Boom!

The black river crashed into the Flame Python formed by the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock. The intertwining lasted but a moment before the Flame Python collapsed completely, and the devastating black river reversed, fiercely crashing onto the Three-Element Fire Demon Array!

Crack!

Under the impact of the black river, the Three-Element Fire Demon Array was forcibly blasted out with a large hole!

Spurt!

Saint Qian Yan and the others were all sent flying backward, spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood. Their faces turned pale, shocked expressions suddenly appearing on their faces!

The Three-Element Fire Demon Array they set up with their combined strength was actually forcibly broken by Ling Chen? How is this possible?

However, at this moment, Ling Chen’s body was also in a state of severe injury. His sword-holding arm was almost completely blackened, with dry and black blood marks appearing on the surface of his skin, obviously due to being unable to withstand such destructive energy, and if Ling Chen’s Sword Spirit wasn’t especially strong, it would be in great danger of being retaliated against or even shattered.

The power of the Soul Destroying Sword was too overwhelming; even Ling Chen’s current body could not withstand it.

Whoosh!

At the moment he broke through the formation with the Soul Destroying Sword, Ling Chen immediately exploded the remaining True Qi in his body to the limit, then his body shot out like an arrow, dashing out of the formation’s breach, desperately speeding towards the distant sea!

"Don’t let him escape!"

Saint Qian Yan was greatly alarmed; this was the best chance to kill Ling Chen. If the latter escaped, it would most likely be very difficult to have another opportunity like this again!

The three didn’t care about their injuries and frantically chased after him, then unleashed wave after wave of True Qi light towards Ling Chen ahead.

Boom boom boom boom!

The scorching True Qi light waves brushed past Ling Chen, crashing into the sea below, causing remarkable splashes.

"Is this kid really so resilient?"

Seeing Ling Chen continuously avoid attacks, both the Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder were dumbfounded. They could sense how chaotic Ling Chen’s internal breath was and how severe his injuries were, but even under such circumstances, the opponent still managed to dodge their attacks. This was way too abnormal!

"Don’t stop, attack him desperately!"

Saint Qian Yan’s hair was disheveled, his body covered in blood, looking like a madman. Even though he was also heavily injured now, he ignored his injury and ferociously attacked Ling Chen.

In this critical moment, Ling Chen summoned a Saint-level puppet. The dense clang of metal collisions resounded, and most of the attacks were blocked.

Though the Saint-level puppet had blocked most of the attacks for Ling Chen, activating the puppet consumed mental power. Ling Chen’s consciousness was heavy, and after enduring dozens of attacks, the Saint-level puppet was blown away, then retracted into Ling Chen’s Heavenly Mansion Ring.

Facing the fierce attack of Saint Qian Yan and the other two, Ling Chen was already seriously injured. After making successive dodging moves, he ultimately became a bit slow and got hit consecutively by three True Qi light waves.

The first True Qi light wave hit Ling Chen’s back, the second pierced through his abdomen, and the third penetrated Ling Chen’s Dantian.

Suffering such severe blows, Ling Chen’s body lost balance and plunged into the sea.

"Now he should be pretty much dead, right?"

The Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder exchanged glances. They had hit Ling Chen’s vital points with three consecutive attacks when Ling Chen was already seriously injured. These three strikes were extremely lethal, and the third attack shattered Ling Chen’s Dantian. With him falling into this vast ocean, the chance of survival was extremely slim.

"No way, he’s definitely not dead yet. Even if he is, we must confirm the body!"

Saint Qian Yan stared dead at the sea surface, just as he was about to rush into the water, when suddenly, an astonishing aura came from afar, and a light blue barrier enveloped Saint Qian Yan and the other two.

"Who is it?"

This sudden change made Saint Qian Yan and the other two’s expressions shift. Their gaze turned abruptly and locked onto a space, where a middle-aged woman in blue was present.

"Elder of Lingyue Island!"

Saint Qian Yan’s pupils contracted sharply; the person in front of them was none other than the Elder of Lingyue Island!

Why did this old fellow follow here?

"Where’s Ling Chen?"

Lingyue Island Elder scanned around with her gaze, but her sight didn’t catch Ling Chen’s figure, causing her brow to furrow tightly.

"Hmph, that little beast Ling Chen was hit into the sea by us; he should be dead by now."

The Fifth Elder spoke with a bit of yin and yang.

"What?"

Lingyue Island Elder’s face drastically changed; she had followed Ling Chen secretly under orders from the Island Master, Saint Purple Heart, to protect him. Thinking that after leaving the Nine Provinces Land for six days, nothing would happen, she didn’t expect an accident.

"You three damn old dogs."

Her gaze turned sinister, as if she were about to eat someone. Ling Chen’s life and death unknown made her extremely furious.

Facing the angry Lingyue Island Elder, Saint Qian Yan’s eyes flashed, seeming to have a trace of apprehensive intent flicker past, "That boy was just hit into the sea; if you go in to search now, there’s still a chance you can save him. Wait a little longer, and there will definitely only be a body."

Hearing these words, the anger on Lingyue Island Elder’s face slightly subsided. She glared at Saint Qian Yan and the other two with hatred, "I’ll settle this with you later!"

As soon as she spoke, she immediately erected a Qi shield and dashed into the sea below, disappearing.
