Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 670 - 668 Spiral Purgatory_1

"Damn this insolent brat! Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Veins pulsed on the Elder of Myriad Beasts' forehead as he quickened the rhythm of his flute. Concurrently, the blood-red glint in the Exotic Demon Beast's eyes intensified.

With a muffled roar, the three pillars of light swelled under the melody, their strength visibly increasing at a perceptible rate.

So it's strengthening with the melody?

Ling Chen's expression turned grave. This Exotic Demon Beast was almost invulnerable, and under the Elder of Myriad Beasts' control, it wasn't weakening but instead showing signs of growing stronger the more it fought.

If I want to defeat it, there seems to be only one way.

Light flashed between his brows. Under Ling Chen's full concentration, the three differently-colored Light swords expanded rapidly, unleashing extremely sharp auras of Slaughter, Overbearing Style, and Despair.

"Break!"

With the drastic enhancement of the three Sword Intents' properties, the three differently-colored Light swords in mid-air suddenly began to rotate at high speed. Like three drill bits, they tore gaping holes in the three black light pillars.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The stalemate was abruptly shattered. The terrifying collision of the six attacks was like a cataclysm, True Qi and Demonic Power intertwining, creating a dense web of Thunder light that streaked across the sky.

"What a terrifying confrontation! Any single aftershock could easily annihilate us."

A warrior on the city wall of the Fire Capital swallowed hard, his voice laced with fear.

"Luckily, the battlefield is still quite far from the city wall. Otherwise, under the impact of such a battle, the entire Fire Capital might be reduced to ruins."

Another warrior chimed in, feeling fortunate.

Jiang Yunting, watching the chaotic Energy roiling in the air, felt his admiration for Ling Chen grow. Only someone with Ling Chen's strength could face such a ferocious beast head-on. If Ling Chen weren't here, the Fire Capital would likely have been breached in minutes.

However, looking at the current situation, Ling Chen's condition seemed precarious. The earlier collision hadn't harmed the enormous Exotic Demon Beast, which appeared largely unaffected. Ling Chen, on the other hand, had been engulfed by the shockwave and could be gravely injured.

Daring to take it head-on? If this brat isn't dead, he must be critically injured now, right?

The Elder of Myriad Beasts wore a sinister smile, his eyes fixed intently on the turbulent area of Energy in mid-air. There, amidst flickering strands of Thunder light, once the dust had completely settled, it was empty; Ling Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Did the brat get completely obliterated?

The Elder of Myriad Beasts was momentarily stunned, then his smile grew even wider. That last attack was the full might of the berserk Exotic Demon Beast. Even I would likely be blasted to smithereens in an instant. It's not impossible that this boy was annihilated, not even his bones remaining.

"No! Don't tell me Sect Leader Ling Chen has been killed by that beast!"

A warrior on the city wall cried out as he witnessed this, despair clouding his eyes.

Only Ling Chen could withstand this Exotic Demon Beast. Ling Chen was their hope. Now that Ling Chen had apparently been slain by the beast, it was as if their hope had been shattered, all their chances of survival severed.

"We're doomed. We're all going to become food for these beasts."

Fear began to ripple through the crowd, who had instantly lost their pillar of support.

"Don't panic! All of you, hold your ground!"

Jiang Yunting hurriedly roared at the crowd. The surrounding Beast Tide was becoming increasingly violent; this was no time to falter. As for Ling Chen, Jiang Yunting was also desperately trying to sense his aura, but he felt nothing, as if Ling Chen had truly vanished from the world.

Just as he was about to conclude that Ling Chen was gone, a powerful aura suddenly flared within his senses.

What's that?!

Jiang Yunting was startled, his pupils contracting sharply. In his line of sight, a blurry figure suddenly materialized—unmistakably Ling Chen.

"The Sect Leader is indeed unharmed!"

The moment he saw Ling Chen appear, Jiang Yunting was overjoyed. Although he had considerable confidence in Ling Chen, the opponent's strength was terrifying. It was a species he had never encountered before, striking fear into his heart. That he could still maintain such faith in Ling Chen under these circumstances was already quite remarkable.

WHOOSH!

When Ling Chen's figure reappeared, he was already behind the Exotic Demon Beast. He had bypassed the creature's massive body and arrived directly in front of the Elder of Myriad Beasts.

To catch the bandits, first catch the king. This was the only way Ling Chen had conceived to defeat the Exotic Demon Beast.

This Exotic Demon Beast was the Elder of Myriad Beasts' creation. Now, the Elder was using his flute to enhance it. If he could eliminate the Elder of Myriad Beasts, even if the Exotic Demon Beast didn't perish immediately, its combat power would undoubtedly be drastically reduced.

The Red Sky Sword in his hand shot out like a meteor, aiming straight for the Elder of Myriad Beasts' heart, a vital point.

"Trying to deal with me directly? You think I wouldn't anticipate that? That I'd give you such an obvious chance? Dream on!"

Facing Ling Chen's attack, the Elder of Myriad Beasts stopped playing his flute. He produced a rune that seemed to be coalesced from black flesh and blood, then crushed it fiercely.

HUM!

The moment he crushed the rune, the Exotic Demon Beast let out a roar tinged with pain. It seemed to sense a drain of its power; its strength was forcefully siphoned away, and its aura weakened considerably.

The Energy and strength lost by the Exotic Demon Beast transferred in an unfathomable way to the Elder of Myriad Beasts. A dark light flashed violently, coalescing into a black Energy shield around him.

DING!

Ling Chen's Sword Light was ultimately a beat slow, landing on the Energy shield. Bright sparks flew. Though it seemed to have struck the Elder of Myriad Beasts' body, the Sword Light was blocked on the surface, unable to penetrate any further.

"Boy, you can't hurt me! Stop struggling. You're doomed to die today!"

The Elder of Myriad Beasts' face was a mask of malice, his smile wider than ever.

He was the creator of the Exotic Demon Beast; he understood its strengths and weaknesses best. He and the Exotic Demon Beast had many well-rehearsed coordinations. The shield just now was undoubtedly one such maneuver, created by drawing power from the Exotic Demon Beast to provide him, its master, with an unbreakable defense.

"Trifling Tricks. You think that with this turtle shell, you can truly be worry-free?"

A sharp glint flashed in Ling Chen's eyes.

"Hmph, enough nonsense! If you have the guts, then break it!" Black light surged around the Elder of Myriad Beasts again. Beneath the Energy shield, another layer of True Qi Defense condensed, enveloping him layer upon layer.

"Then, as you wish!"

As his words fell, Ling Chen abruptly retreated three steps. His entire momentum gathered onto the Red Sky Sword in his hand, stirring the great power of heaven and earth. Blazing sword qi whirled rapidly, his entire body spinning at high speed in mid-air like an Eight Wastes Fire Dragon, as he viciously slammed his sword into the Elder of Myriad Beasts' Energy shield!

Red Sky Sword Technique, Sixth Form, Spiral Purgatory!

"Split!"

Ling Chen roared.

CREAK!

A faint sound suddenly arose. The smile on the Elder of Myriad Beasts' face froze. Before his horrified gaze, his supposedly impregnable Energy shield was forcefully torn open by Ling Chen, creating a crack!
