Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 558 - 556

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM... The thunderous explosions merged into a continuous sound, as Ling Chen exchanged moves with Meng Qi dozens of times in a short span, neither yielding to the other, choosing to collide head-on.

Finally, the ground, unable to bear the weight of their combat, shattered into thousands of pieces, scattering in all directions.

WHOOSH!

With a quick leap, Ling Chen was the first to burst out of the grand hall. If they continued their duel there, the entire hall might crumble.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Meng Qi pursued Ling Chen closely from behind, bellowing, and followed him out.

"They’re fighting!"

In the square outside, the members of the Cyan Robe Association and Experts from other factions were startled, their faces filled with horror. Immediately, they rushed towards the direction of the fight.

"That’s the new Sect Leader, Dustless, and his opponent is the famous Meng Qi!" someone immediately called out their names.

"What’s going on? If Linghu Yi wanted to make a move, why didn’t he do it himself? Why send his Disciple instead?" one person asked, puzzled.

"Linghu Yi, after all, is a senior of the Sect. Even if he desperately craves the position of Sect Leader, he can’t possibly take action himself. That’s why he had his disciple do it."

"That makes sense. But his disciple is ranked fifth on the Young Master List. He won’t be easy to deal with. Dustless is probably no match for him."

"Whether it’s a mule or a horse, we will find out soon enough."

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the battleground. Wherever the ripples of the battle reached, the crowd retreated far away, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.

"Hammer Splitting Sky Star."

Meng Qi closed in on Ling Chen. After pushing Ling Chen back with several consecutive hammer strikes, he slammed his hammer onto the ground. With this strike, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split, and a violent wave of earth surged out madly.

The dense fragments of stones and dirt, guided by True Qi, condensed into a giant stone ball. This stone ball, as if it were a true star, carried a frightening amount of power.

"Fish and Dragon Hundred Transformations, Giant Turtle Transformation!"

Ling Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks. He swirled his Sword Light, and True Qi rapidly condensed before him, transforming into a colossal turtle, as huge as a mountain, stretching across the square.

BOOM!

The two ferocious attacks collided, immediately blasting a large hole in the center of the square, a hole created purely by True Qi. The two figures were also sent flying, each retreating explosively and landing on two separate stone pillars in the square.

Gradually, the members of the Cyan Robe Association and the other Experts began to discern some clues. After such a long fight, Meng Qi still hadn’t gained the upper hand. Could it be that this kid, Dustless, possesses strength comparable to Meng Qi?

"Impossible, Meng Qi hasn’t used his killing move yet," Linghu Yi said, shaking his head and immediately dismissing the thought.

He was very surprised that Dustless could last this long, but he didn’t believe Ling Chen could defeat Meng Qi.

"Indeed. In the past, there have been young Experts evenly matched with Meng Qi. But the moment Meng Qi used his killing move, none survived. This kid will be no exception."

"Young people capable of defeating Meng Qi? In this entire world, you could probably count them on one hand!"

"Heh, let’s see how he dies!"

The Elder of Law Enforcement also shook his head. "Too reckless," he said.

It wasn’t just that Meng Qi hadn’t used his killing move; he also hadn’t revealed his trump card. Even with Ling Chen’s heaven-defying strength, he wouldn’t be able to handle Meng Qi and would struggle to protect himself.

As the long battle dragged on without a victor, Meng Qi grew agitated and roared, "Good! To think you can exchange so many moves with me. No wonder the Sect Leader took you as a Disciple. But this next strike will claim your dog’s life!"

"Heavenly Lion Transformation!"

With a single step that cracked the earth, Meng Qi’s aura surged skyward. He raised his hammer above his head, and violent streams of thunderbolt True Qi gathered at the hammerhead. The lightning compressed and merged, rapidly condensing into a roaring lion with bared fangs and claws. Its terrifying pressure enveloped heaven and earth.

BOOM!

The dual hammers slammed down suddenly, and the Thundering Mighty Lion shot out from them, lunging at Ling Chen.

"Invincible Under Heaven!"

The Red Sky Sword was sheathed, and the Thunder Shadow Sword was unsheathed. Still wielding the sword single-handedly, Ling Chen swung it. The Sword Light flared, meeting the Thundering Mighty Lion head-on.

PFFT, PFFT, PFFT, PFFT, PFFT!

Like fireworks bursting into bloom, the Thundering Mighty Lion was engulfed in the Sword Light.

However, this move was Meng Qi’s ultimate technique, containing extremely condensed thunder power. The moment the Sword Light made contact, it instantly dimmed. But in the next moment, the dimmed Sword Light erupted with even more terrifying might. Shifting from weakness to strength, it not only tore apart the Thundering Mighty Lion’s body but a beam of Sword Light also pierced straight through the lion’s forehead.

"My Heavenly Lion Transformation was broken? Impossible! This move contained twenty percent of my power! No one below the Sky Apex Realm can break it! I must have made a mistake somewhere... I must have! You brat, go die! Blood Lion Thousand Breaks!"

Meng Qi’s face was etched with disbelief. His Heavenly Lion Transformation had slain countless foes and had never been directly shattered. His face twisted as he roared. His dual hammers vibrated continuously, lightning crackled loudly, and another Thundering Mighty Lion charged out. It exploded in mid-air into countless palm-sized electric orbs that rained down, enveloping Ling Chen.

"So-called invincible strength below the Sky Apex Realm? It’s nothing special."

Ling Chen had roughly gauged Meng Qi’s true capabilities. His sword technique remained unchanged, his Sword Momentum soared to the heavens. With a single slash, the electric orbs filling the sky were instantly annihilated.

BOOM!

The incomparably sharp sword qi tore through the Void and slashed Meng Qi, blasting him over a hundred meters away.

"What?"

Linghu Yi could no longer sit still. His eyes were filled with an expression of utter disbelief; he simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

The square fell deathly silent.

"Meng Qi was defeated! I’m not seeing things, am I?"

"He shattered Meng Qi’s killing move with a single sword strike! What terrifying strength! Could it be we misjudged him? This kid was a wolf in sheep’s clothing!"

Witnessing Meng Qi being blasted away, the surroundings plunged into a dead silence. The next moment, a clamor of discussion erupted, accompanied by sharp intakes of breath.

Linghu Yi clenched his fists, veins bulging on his skin. He refused to believe Ling Chen possessed such power.

"No wonder this kid agreed so readily. I’m afraid we’ve been played by him," one of Linghu Yi’s subordinate Elders said in a deep voice.

"Played? Heh, I, Linghu Yi, at my age, have never been outsmarted by a mere youngster."

A cold light flickered in Linghu Yi’s eyes. "Rest assured, Meng Qi won’t lose that easily. The outcome will be clear soon enough."

At this moment, not far away, even Liu Feiyue wore a grave expression. To think that back then, Ling Chen was just a junior in my eyes. I never expected him to grow to such an extent in such a short time.

The ground of the plaza was gouged by a trench several meters wide and over a thousand meters long, nearly splitting a large section of the palace complex in two. At the end of the trench, dust swirled, and electric currents surged.

CLANG!

Where the electrical light ended, a figure appeared out of thin air. Ling Chen thrust his sword out explosively.

The Sword Light was incomparably sharp. It struck Meng Qi’s chest, sending sparks flying, yet it failed to harm him in the slightest. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

WHOOSH!

A scorching gale kicked up dust and smoke as it billowed out. Meng Qi’s figure stood there, his body suffused with a layer of gold, electric currents sprawling across the golden light.
