In mid-air, sparks erupted, and violent shockwaves of wind rippled outwards. On the ground below, ditches dozens of yards deep were instantly carved out, and several large nearby trees were snapped in half at their waists.
The Red Sky Sword trembled slightly, its flickering flas shattering the powerful force transmitted through it. Ling Chen's shoulder jolted from the impact.
The four n of the Blood Blade Quartet were each knocked back more than ten steps. They imdiately ford a semicircle in mid-air, their grips tightening on their large knives as a sharp pain spread through their palms.
"No wonder you managed to leave Linjiang City unscathed," the gaunt-faced man licked his lips, a grave expression settling in his eyes. "You truly have so skill."
Even though Ling Chen only seed to possess the strength of the Sky Apex Realm First Heaven, his fighting prowess is formidable enough to leave us dumbstruck. Despite our combined efforts, we still haven't gained any advantage.
Ling Chen's expression was indifferent as he observed them. Their teamwork in offense and defense was extrely polished. They all cultivated the sa martial arts, and their attacks flowed seamlessly together, making them quite difficult to deal with.
However, this kind of collaboration also has its weaknesses. If even one of them is defeated, their overall combat power will plumt.
With this thought, Ling Chen moved. His sword shot out, its tip aid directly at the round-faced, middle-aged man—the one among the Quartet with the weakest aura.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing this, the eyes of the four n turned cold. They instantly understood Ling Chen's intention to break their united front. Just as they were about to attack simultaneously, a figure in white had already appeared before them like a phantom.
"Spiral Purgatory!"
True Qi exploded from Ling Chen's body. He and his sword transford into a flaming spiral, launching a fierce, drilling attack towards the weakest mber of the Quartet, the round-faced middle-aged man.
The man's expression changed; evidently, he hadn't expected Ling Chen to strike so quickly. He hurriedly brought his large knife across to block. The Spiral Sword slamd into his blade, sending bright sparks bursting out in circles.
Initially, the round-faced middle-aged man could withstand a blow or two, but in a re instant, his complexion turned deathly pale. The next mont, his body was sent flying backward, a torrent of blood spurting from his mouth.
Ling Chen's powerful assault directly shattered the Blood Blade Quartet's coordinated offense. The mont they were separated, their initially formidable aura weakened considerably.
"Emperor Dominating the World!"
Vast True Qi surged forth from within Ling Chen's body. Apparently, he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he pressed his advantage. With a flick of his wrist, the Red Sky Sword in his hand shot out. The massive Sword Light, imbued with astonishing power, viciously slamd against the large knives in the hands of the four n.
CLANG!
A deafening crash echoed as the Blood Blade Quartet was sent flying backward. Violent, searing Sword Energy surged up their blades from the point of impact, causing black smoke to rise from their palms. The clothes on their entire arms were incinerated, leaving their skin charred black.
THUD!
Their large knives plunged deeply into the ground, and only then did the four n manage to stabilize their bodies. However, their faces were all streaked with black, clearly indicating they were severely injured by this sword strike.
Not only did Ling Chen's strike contain the Overbearing Style of the True Essence of Fire, but it also carried a terrifying Invincible Sword Intent. Their internal True Qi was in disarray, and waves of searing pain assaulted them.
"This kid is a bit tough," among the Blood Blade Quartet, the gaunt man watched the slender figure wielding the Red Sky Sword slowly approach, his voice thick with apprehension.
Could what he said earlier be true? Did Bai Shaochuan, a Disciple of the Capture God, really lose to him?
The faces of the other three also turned grim. Although they had acknowledged Ling Chen might possess so strength, they never imagined they would be forced onto the back foot so quickly after engaging him.
"Next ti you pick a fight, you'd better be more discerning," Ling Chen ca to a halt, a chilling smile playing on his lips as he addressed the four. "I'm in a hurry and don't have ti to get entangled with you."
He then raised the Red Sky Sword. Suddenly, scorching flas engulfed the entire blade, and an extrely ferocious surge of power emanated from it.
"Retreat!" the gaunt man's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he urgently shouted.
WHOOSH!
However, his shout had barely faded when a light flashed from Ling Chen's hand. The Red Sky Sword vanished. A Sword Light, like a teor, suddenly erupted and then disappeared in a flash.
Facing this almost untraceable sword strike, the gaunt man was terrified. But in the blink of an eye, the Sword Light brushed past him, leaving only a trailing tail of light.
SQUELCH!
The sound of the Sword Light tearing through flesh echoed. The gaunt man spun around abruptly. In his line of sight, the Sword Light had viciously pierced the round-faced man's chest, leaving a charred, bloody hole.
"Fourth Brother!" the gaunt man shrieked, his face ashen with grief. The four of them had road the Jianghu together. Though not blood brothers, they were closer than kin after ten years of shared trials and tribulations. He never expected Ling Chen to kill one of them today.
However, there was no trace of rcy in Ling Chen's eyes. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.
"Little beast, perish!" the gaunt man snarled, his face instantly turning sinister. A twisted light flashed in his eyes. He moved, and the remaining three closed ranks. He lifted his Crescent Knife high, a savage glint in his eyes, as his vast True Qi surged forth.
Almost simultaneously, the other two mbers of the now Blood Saber Trio also swung their blades. The three attacked in unison, their combined might overwhelming, shaking the heavens.
ROAR!
Saber lights gushed out, rging into a colossal blade over two hundred feet long. Shadowy beast figures flickered on its surface, their myriad roars soaring to the heavens, striking terror into the hearts of all who witnessed it.
BOOM!
The overwhelming Blood Knife whistled through the air, slashing towards Ling Chen in the next instant like an Ancient Giant Beast. A heaven-shattering sound bood out, and a powerful shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly leveling the dense forest within a hundred-ter radius.
Witnessing this, those hidden nearby stared at the source of the disturbance with expressions of shock and uncertainty. Such a clash was truly astounding. When the Blood Saber Trio went berserk, they were indeed terrifyingly unstoppable.
Ling Chen's expression remained unfazed. He suddenly swung his sword, the Red Sky Sword arcing continuously and rapidly. His hand speed reached a horrifying level; in just five breaths, Ling Chen had unleashed ten Sword Lights, averaging two sword strikes per breath.
The ten Sword Lights rged into an astonishing sword storm, enveloping a region of the Void. It shredded everything in its path with rapid cuts. Anything it touched—saber lights, or even the bodies of the Blood Saber Trio—was instantly torn asunder, ripped to shreds.
