Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 871 - 869: Divine Moon Envoy

Just as the metal long whip was about three meters from the ground, Ling Chen heard a "whoosh" and something burst out from the earth, brandishing hooks that spun relentlessly, attempting to wrap around Ling Chen's neck.

The tip of the metal long whip was a three-inch-long spike, glowing with a purple hue, clearly imbued with poison.

Ling Chen swung the Red Sky Sword, the scorching sword qi erupted from his fingertips and enveloped the Red Sky Sword, striking towards the metal long whip.

"Clang!"

The flames-wreathed Red Sky Sword accurately struck the metal long whip at a distance of four feet, dispersing the True Qi contained within the metal long whip.

In an instant, the metal long whip flew up again, making a "swish swish" metallic sound as it aimed at Ling Chen's chest.

Simultaneously, the owner of the metal long whip revealed herself, emerging from the darkness.

It was a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her thirties, her face pale and bloodless, yet her eyes were remarkably bright. She wore black leather armor tightly wrapped around her chest and hips, leaving her slender, snow-white waist and legs exposed.

Her mouth emitted a charming shout as she continuously lashed out with the metal long whip, displaying a set of exquisite whip techniques, completely encasing Ling Chen within the whip's range.

Within the cave, only the flying long whip and the flashing Sword Light could be seen, dividing the dominion.

In the darkness, Ling Chen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, leaning against the rock wall, deftly wielding the Red Sky Sword to repel the long whip.

While fending off the woman's long whip, Ling Chen retreated, heading towards the cave's exit.

This place was too narrow; if a large group of Witch Fiend Sect experts barged in, it would be troublesome. In tight quarters, even the most capable person would struggle to escape.

However, as Ling Chen was about to burst out of the cave entrance, a hidden weapon suddenly shot from afar, tearing through the void and directly targeting Ling Chen's position.

In a blink of an eye, the hidden weapon enveloped in sparks dragged out a stunning tail of light, crossing over ten miles, flying into the valley, aiming precisely at Ling Chen's brows.

An arrow was shot over ten miles and still maintained its speed without diminishing; the opponent had not only remarkable arm strength but also strong True Qi, and their eyesight was beyond that of ordinary warriors.

Ling Chen's expression changed; his reaction was exceptional. He immediately grasped the hilt of the Red Sky Sword.

"Swish!"

The Treasure Sword left the sheath, trailing a splendid Sword Light, piercing out in a spiral trajectory.

"Boom!"

The distant hidden weapon collided with the sword qi, producing a loud explosion, shaking the air throughout the valley.

The hidden weapon exploded instantly, transforming into a large plume of fire rain, shooting out in all directions.

Swish!

A figure flashed out from a pile of rocks; it was a robust-looking middle-aged man. His arms were extraordinarily muscular, with remarkable arm strength. Evidently, it was this person who had launched the hidden weapon.

"Are you from the Witch Fiend Sect?"

Ling Chen retreated onto a rock, gazing at the figure in front of him, and asked nonchalantly.

"That's right,"

The beautiful woman nodded and approached Ling Chen, "I am the Divine Moon Envoy of the Witch Fiend Sect. Let me guess your identity; are you a descendant of the Swordsaint Family?"

She scrutinized Ling Chen, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise. She was astonished by Ling Chen's youthfulness. Just now in the cave, it was too dark to see Ling Chen's true appearance clearly. She assumed he was someone around her age, but upon seeing him outside, he turned out to be a young man in his early twenties.

In her encounter with Ling Chen, she could clearly feel the exquisite nature of Ling Chen's swordsmanship, which led her to conclude that he was a descendant of the Swordsaint Family.

However, Ling Chen shook his head and promptly said, "I am not a descendant of the Swordsaint Family, nor do I belong to any Saint Family. I am just a small figure from the wilderness."

"Hehe, a dignified descendant of the Swordsaint Family has become so spineless lately. To protect his life, he doesn't even dare to acknowledge his own identity."

At this moment, the robust middle-aged man also approached, sneering coldly. He had already determined that Ling Chen was from the Swordsaint Family, as part of the same group as Fang Qingwei and the others before.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Ling Chen was indifferent, as calm as the wind and clouds. Then he raised his eyebrows, "Neither of you can capture me unless your Left Guardian Law personally arrives; perhaps only then could you detain me for a moment or two."

"Arrogant!"

The Divine Moon Envoy's expression was icy, "With your mere Sky Apex Realm Third Layer strength, relying on a few exquisite sword techniques, do you really think you can withstand us two?"

"Why waste so many words with him? Just catch him and deal with him afterward!"

The robust middle-aged man suddenly lunged forward, seemingly transforming into a fierce beast as he pounced, simultaneously splitting into three figures, all attacking Ling Chen.

"Swish swish!"

The three robust middle-aged men simultaneously swung their claws at Ling Chen, behind whom appeared the phantom of a giant tiger, attacking his neck, abdomen, and groin.

The three figures all seemed solid rather than illusory.

Others couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, but Ling Chen saw clearly.

He possessed the Sword Spirit Embryo, his eyesight and insight naturally excellent. In front of him, playing tricks with movement techniques and false moves was mere child's play.

With eyes glinting with sharp determination, Ling Chen suddenly charged out, consecutively swinging three swords to slash at the three figures, neutralizing their combined attack.

Suddenly, Ling Chen dodged the robust middle-aged man's claw strike and slashed his sword at the latter's abdomen. The sound of cutting resounded as the Sword Light swept across, tearing the robust middle-aged man's clothing, revealing the black inner armor underneath.

The robust middle-aged man was taken aback, breaking into a cold sweat. If he weren't wearing a piece of Star Steel Inner Armor, he would have been disemboweled by Ling Chen's attack earlier.

"Beast Spirit Envoy, let me assist you!"

Seeing the robust middle-aged man's inability to match Ling Chen, the Divine Moon Envoy swung her metal long whip. It expanded and contracted uncertainly in midair, then dropped from above, aiming directly at Ling Chen's head.

Stepping backward, the metal long whip narrowly grazed past Ling Chen, plunging into the ground, creating a large pit.

As Ling Chen was distracted by the long whip, the Beast Spirit Envoy had already gathered power in his right arm. The abundant True Qi converged at the fist's apex, punching towards Ling Chen's heart.

In the instant Ling Chen straightened his body, the punch arrived. This punch was extremely fierce, full of power, its Fist Strength directly leaving the body and shooting out, resembling an energy wave.

With one hand gripping the Red Sky Sword's hilt and the other pressing against the sword's blade, Ling Chen blocked it in front of him. With a "bang" sound, the Beast Spirit Envoy's punch struck the sword blade, propelling Ling Chen dozens of meters away.

Seizing the opportunity, the Divine Moon Envoy twisted her long whip, transitioning from an aggressive attack to a entangling strategy. These two, one close and one distant, coordinated skillfully, aiming to drive Ling Chen into a cornered position.
