Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 646 - 644: Storm_1

The Poisonous Swamp Beast, a creature fond of living in cold, damp places, is a rare species. No trace of it had been found in the Five Country Territory for quite some time.

The greatest value of the Poisonous Swamp Beast lay in its Poison Sac. Its venom could be used to concoct deadly poisons but also served medicinal purposes, rendering it extremely precious.

However, Chen Beixuan and his team were risking their lives in search of the Poisonous Swamp Beast not for money, but to use its venom to save one of their teammates.

Their purpose was quite similar to Ling Chen's, so Ling Chen was happy to help them.

Chen Beixuan carefully pulled out a vial of medicinal powder from his bosom and poured it into the marsh ahead. Instantly, a strong, exotic aroma suffused the air.

This musk scent was the Poisonous Swamp Beast's favorite. It was usually employed to lure the creature.

After scattering the medicinal powder, everyone retreated some distance and hid.

Next, all they needed to do was wait for the Poisonous Swamp Beast to be drawn by the scent, and then they could make their move.

Ling Chen leaned against a large tree, gazing at the marshland below while quietly waiting.

His Mental Power had already spread hundreds of meters, sensing movements in the distance.

RUSTLE, RUSTLE... A sound arose. Hundreds of meters away, Ling Chen suddenly spotted an Exotic Beast covered in mud, wriggling swiftly towards them.

The Poisonous Swamp Beast.

Ling Chen's eyes brightened. It seemed the musk method was indeed effective, as it had truly attracted the Poisonous Swamp Beast.

"It's here!"

After a while, Chen Beixuan and the others also noticed the approaching Poisonous Swamp Beast, their faces lighting up with excitement.

"Hong Ling, look after Wu Chuan later. I'll draw this beast's attention. Mo Qing, find an opportunity to ambush the Poisonous Swamp Beast's tail; that's its weak spot. As for you, Brother Wuchen..."

WHOOSH!

As Chen Beixuan was still assigning tasks, a figure had already dashed out. It was Ling Chen.

What does this kid think he's doing?

Seeing Ling Chen surge forward, Mo Qing's face darkened. He had long suspected Ling Chen would be a nuisance—arrogant, prone to ignoring orders, and acting independently. If he gets himself killed, it's his own problem, but if he scares away the Poisonous Swamp Beast, he'll have doomed us all!

"Forget it. Prepare to attack!"

Chen Beixuan's expression also turned grim. Ling Chen's actions had indeed put their team in a tight spot. But now, they had no choice but to engage. Otherwise, the Poisonous Swamp Beast might escape. They had already alerted the beast; luring it out again would be as difficult as scaling the heavens.

We're screwed thanks to this idiot! Mo Qing's eyes glinted ominously, thinking he would deal with Ling Chen later. However, in the next moment, he froze, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Before his eyes, Ling Chen instantly reached the Poisonous Swamp Beast. The long sword in his hand suddenly unsheathed. The speed was so incredible that the Sword Light flashed out almost the moment Ling Chen drew his sword. Before Mo Qing could fully comprehend what had happened, Ling Chen was already sheathing his sword and walking back. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

CRACK!

A crisp sound reverberated. The body of the Poisonous Swamp Beast abruptly split in two, its internal organs spilling onto the ground.

"This..."

Chen Beixuan, Hong Ling, Mo Qing, and Wu Chuan all gaped in astonishment, utterly speechless.

The Poisonous Swamp Beast was a formidable Rank 3 High-Level Exotic Beast! It was incredibly difficult to handle due to its poison-covered body. Yet, Ling Chen had slain it in a single stroke?

How is that possible?

Hong Ling couldn't help but swallow. Such skill... it's simply terrifying! That's not something an ordinary person could do. He's so cool! Who is he?

Mo Qing was even more astounded. Just moments ago, he had been plotting to settle accounts with Ling Chen, to teach him a lesson and show him his true strength. Now, he realized there was no need; he wasn't even a match for a single move from Ling Chen. If Ling Chen were truly serious, I probably couldn't even block a single finger of his!

RUSTLE, RUSTLE, RUSTLE!

Just then, a sudden flurry of footsteps came from the nearby woods.

Over a dozen figures suddenly emerged from the rainforest across the way.

These newcomers were dressed in a variety of clothes. The one in the lead, a slightly overweight middle-aged man, wore a blue robe. Ling Chen looked closely; the man's robe bore the emblem of the Cyan Robe Association.

This meant the slightly overweight middle-aged man was likely a member of the Cyan Robe Association.

However, the man clearly didn't recognize Ling Chen. Upon appearing, his gaze immediately fell upon the Poisonous Swamp Beast lying on the ground, sliced in two. A glint of avarice appeared in his eyes.

"It's actually a Poisonous Swamp Beast, and it's dead! Looks like my luck isn't bad this time," the slightly overweight middle-aged man said gleefully.

"Shi Zhong, we killed this Poisonous Swamp Beast. What does it have to do with you?"

Hearing the man's words, Chen Beixuan's face darkened, realizing the man was eyeing the beast they had killed.

"The Poisonous Swamp Beast is a Rank 3 High-Level Exotic Beast. How could the few of you possibly kill it?" Shi Zhong sneered. "You merely arrived before us and found the carcass. Chen Beixuan, for the sake of the Cyan Robe Association, how about you let me have this Poisonous Swamp Beast? I'll compensate you with some other things."

"No way."

Chen Beixuan shook his head firmly. This Poisonous Swamp Beast was meant to save his teammate. The Poison Sac was its most valuable part, and the other party would surely not agree to let him take just the sac. Therefore, he couldn't yield an inch.

"Chen Beixuan, you've grown quite a backbone, daring to oppose Big Brother Shi Zhong!"

At this, a lackey beside Shi Zhong spoke up arrogantly, "Big Brother Shi Zhong is a member of the Cyan Robe Association! Does your little Blood Whale Gang dare to challenge the Cyan Robe Association?"

Upon hearing the name "Cyan Robe Association," Chen Beixuan's face fell. This Shi Zhong, relying on his status as an outer member of the Cyan Robe Association, was incredibly arrogant. But Chen Beixuan knew there was nothing he could do; to him, the Cyan Robe Association was indeed a behemoth that couldn't be offended.

"Big Brother Shi Zhong is a member of the Cyan Robe Association, and we are all his subordinates, effectively making us associate members!" the lackey continued, staring at Chen Beixuan and his group, his tone overbearing. "Under the leadership of Sect Leader Ling Chen, the Cyan Robe Association first pacified the Saint Witch Religion, then conquered the Black Market, rescued Sky Void Palace, and defeated the Divine Intent Sect. Its divine might shakes the world, its contributions are eternal! Today, the Cyan Robe Association is the hegemon of the Martial World, the foremost power in the Jianghu! Chen Beixuan, are you trying to pick a fight with us? How many heads do you have to lose?"

"Damn it! So what if they're from the Cyan Robe Association? They're bullying us too much!"

Hong Ling and the others were furious. Just as they were about to resist, Chen Beixuan stopped them.

"We truly can't afford to offend people from the Cyan Robe Association."

Chen Beixuan shook his head. It wasn't that he was willing to swallow his pride, but the Cyan Robe Association was indeed the most powerful force in the Martial World at the moment. He was just a minor Hall Master in the Blood Whale Gang, and the Blood Whale Gang was merely a second-rate faction. If they offended the Cyan Robe Association, the entire Blood Whale Gang might be wiped out.

"People of the Cyan Robe Association? How impressive."

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from the side. Chen Beixuan and his companions were stunned. They followed the sound and saw that the one laughing was Ling Chen. He was strolling towards Shi Zhong and his men, a playful smile on his face.
