Chapter 1558 - 134: Assassination and Betrayal

Chapter 1558: Chapter 134: Assassination and Betrayal

Ling Chenzi sat cross-legged high in the sky.

He looked indifferently at the battlefield below him.

Just as Xie Xuanyi had predicted, he had never trusted the "Sea Surfing King" from the very beginning. As soon as Chu Lin made a move, he would immediately face retaliation... He himself is a traitor, having come all the way to this Demon Country, how could he trust anyone else?

The reason for taking in Chu Lin.

The reason is simple.

Sea Surfing King... is indeed a tempting "bait."

As long as Ling Chenzi nods and speaks out.

Then a dignified Yang God Realm Great Cultivator can join his sect. All those tasks he cannot conveniently handle personally can be handed over to Sea Surfing King.

And when the time for sacrifice comes.

He can just as well discard him.

"All Heavens Thunder Technique, hear my command."

Ling Chenzi sat cross-legged, silently reciting the Array Formation Mantra in his heart.

The Silver Thread Fall Great Array was complete, with hundreds of blood-colored talismans, like pupils, descending in all directions according to his Heart Thought, enveloping Xie Xuanyi and the three Great Venerables completely.

Bolts of blood lightning surged in the void!

Ling Chenzi never intended for a fair duel today.

No matter if the opponent was the Saint Prince, Peacock Venerable... or Xie Xuanyi...

The things he wanted to do were the same.

Mountain Shifting, Sea Overturning, Chu Lin.

These three.

All were "pawns" in Ling Chenzi’s plan!

Or rather, all living beings under the cover of this Ten Thousand Demon Array were his pawns!

Those willing to offer Essence Blood, when no longer valuable, can naturally be sacrificed.

Those unwilling to offer Essence Blood, opposing him, naturally must also be killed.

This is an array set for certain death.

In his design, all who enter the array... will ultimately end in death!

...

...

Blood lightning churned, arcs of light scattered.

This scene caught the attention of the Sea Surfing King.

"Blood Refining Skill?"

Chu Lin was horrified.

He sensed a dangerous aura; large amounts of talismans were wandering in the void, faintly forming a wide prison.

Could it be that Ling Chenzi wants to refine him along with Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning?

"He wants to refine us all."

Xie Xuanyi spoke calmly.

He only needed a moment to discern Ling Chenzi’s intentions.

"This... madman!"

Chu Lin cursed inwardly.

Despite all the scheming efforts he made for Ling Chenzi after joining the Great Saint Mountain, didn’t expect this guy planned all along to use him as a consumable!

In some sense.

Ling Chenzi is more ruthless compared to Sun Eater Venerable!

"Calculating time, it should be almost..."

Ling Chenzi opened his eyes.

He was no longer sitting in a cross-legged posture but instead slowly stood up, the wide Daoist robe fluttering in the wind.

This Great True Master glanced over indifferently.

He first looked towards the direction of Fighting Holy Peak.

If not mistaken, the Saint Prince entered Fighting Holy Peak to activate the Ancient Array... he needed to speed up the killing. Once the Ancient Array is activated, the battlefield might undergo changes once more.

"Two fellow Daoists, let me lend you a helping hand!"

Ling Chenzi said loudly.

He suddenly swung his sleeve, using the Silver Thread Fall Great Array to counterattack Xie Xuanyi’s flying sword.

A breach instantly appeared in the sword domain.

Ling Chenzi’s move was intended to "liberate" Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning, suppressed by the sword domain.

He indeed wanted to blood refine everyone...

But before the blood refining started.

He wouldn’t miss the opportunity to extract maximum value from these people.

"Huh?"

"The suppression of Sword Qi has vanished!"

Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning exchanged a glance.

Trapped in the sword domain, they found it impossible to move, but now with Ling Chenzi’s silver threads overlapping the sword domain, it precisely granted them a rare chance to strike!

"Bad."

The Sea Surfing King noticed this change.

He grasped the long saber in reverse, ready to make a move, to block Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning for Xie Xuanyi...

Now.

He couldn’t worry about exposure anymore.

Since Ling Chenzi had been wary of him all along, regardless of when he might switch sides, it’s unlikely to have a surprising effect.

If he acted directly now, he might help Xie Xuanyi withstand this calamity!

Just as the Sea Surfing King prepared to retreat and block one of Mountain Shifting or Sea Overturning, Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake transmission once again reached him.

"Directly attack Ling Chenzi."

Upon hearing this.

Chu Lin was startled once more.

He looked forward towards the young sword cultivator dressed in black seated in the wheelchair, his expression calm.

Life and Death Sword Domain was contending against Silver Thread Fall.

Xie Xuanyi’s aura was surging, though injured, his Primordial Lake seemed inexhaustible... enduring two Great Arrays straight, evenly matched with Ling Chenzi’s two Dao Domains. Now was Xie Xuanyi’s most vulnerable moment, and this guy wanted him to assassinate Ling Chenzi?

Is this abandoning defense, focusing only on attack?

In a flash.

Chu Lin understood Xie Xuanyi’s intent, his Divine Thought swept over, noticing the Great True Master at the heavenly peak, who was rapidly forming seals. The thousands of talismans floating in the void were condensing into forms like dragon snakes, making a rumble. Ling Chenzi intended to use the power of the three Yang God Great Venerables to set up another Great Array, aiming to kill Xie Xuanyi directly.

At this moment...

Was Xie Xuanyi’s most vulnerable moment.

Also the most vulnerable moment for Ling Chenzi.

"Do it!"

Xie Xuanyi spoke solemnly, his tone serious.

Play the act thoroughly.

Xie Xuanyi struck out a fist through the air, the strong wind blasting, landing on the Sea Surfing King’s chest.

Chu Lin hesitated no longer.

Using the powerful force of that punch, he was propelled into the air, retreating towards Ling Chenzi’s position, stealthily adjusting his grip, concealing the reverse-held saber within his sleeve... Ling Chenzi saw this scene, furrowing his brows slightly, instinctively reaching out his hand to catch the Sea Surfing King being struck and sent flying.

In the next moment—

Shush!

A loud explosion was heard!

The sea of blood surged.

The Sea Surfing King drew his saber, its angle extremely tricky, the majestic Taoist Intent hidden within the sleeve, as soon as his back made contact with Ling Chenzi, the saber light suddenly soared!
