"Ling'er, how many days have you known this kid in total? Why are you so fixated on him?"
Ling Feng's face turned ashen, "I am the one who grew up with you since childhood, you should be on my side."
"Despicable villains, the two of you are truly the disgrace of the Ling Family."
Lan Xingling bit her silver teeth, then without saying more to the two, turned around and left.
"Stop right there!"
Ling Feng's expression changed, just as he was about to give chase, he was stopped by Ling Hai.
"Why are you stopping ? We can't just let her go like this, if she tells the family about what happened here, it will be troubleso."
Ling Feng said nervously.
"What are you afraid of? Her words alone, no one would believe them."
Ling Hai remained calm, showing no signs of tension, and then continued, "Besides, it's just about an insignificant person who died, at most the family will reprimand you, they won't do anything to you."
Listening to this, Ling Feng also felt much more at ease. Ling Hai was right, Ling Chen was just a nobody with no background, if he died, he died, what consequences could there be?
He was overthinking it.
At this mont, in a dense sea area not far away.
With a splash, a figure broke through the water and landed on the surface. Underneath the figure's feet, there was a shark speeding along, splitting the rapid currents on both sides.
The figure was none other than Ling Chen, who had been ambushed by Ling Feng.
However, at this mont Ling Chen didn't seem to be injured in the slightest, apart from having so superficial wounds behind him, he was essentially unhard.
A little trick like Ling Feng's couldn't fool Ling Chen.
Ling Chen had long expected the other party might ambush him, and if he really wanted to prevent it, Ling Feng couldn't have hurt him.
However, since he was in a bind and couldn't extricate himself at the ti, he figured he might as well let Ling Feng hit him with the poison dart, using the opportunity to escape and take care of his own matters.
Nevertheless, he wouldn't let the matter of Ling Feng's ambush on him slide so easily.
After falling into the sea, Ling Chen imdiately operated his True Qi, diving deep to escape, and on the way, he subdued a blood shark to speed up his journey.
Now he should be not far from the location of Spirit Snake Island.
"First find a place to settle down and rest for a while."
After spending three days at sea, Ling Chen had encountered quite a few attacks and disturbances from sea beasts, so he needed to find a quieter place to rest temporarily.
Heading towards Spirit Snake Island wasn't sothing that could be done in a single day or night, and Ling Chen had prepared for such a long ti before, so he wouldn't mind spending a few days more now.
Before dusk, Ling Chen finally discovered the presence of a small reef island.
In the periphery of Spirit Snake Island, there were quite a few such reefs.
The location where Ling Chen was now should be getting close to the heart of Spirit Snake Island, and perhaps the Witch Fiend Sect was not far from here.
"First refine the Snake Gallbladder of the Black Wind Sea Python, to see if it can help with cultivation."
Finding a concealed cave, Ling Chen set up a campfire.
He sat beside the fire, took out the Snake Gallbladder of the Black Wind Sea Python, processed it, and then swallowed it, beginning to refine it.
The energy contained in the tri-colored Snake Gallbladder was extrely cold; Ling Chen felt as if he had swallowed a chunk of Profound Ice. However, as the chill spread, a gentle energy suddenly emanated from that Naless Iron Plate, effortlessly blocking the cold.
While refining the Snake Gallbladder, Ling Chen used this chill to start practicing the subsequent sword techniques of the Green Lotus Sword Song.
"Green Silk Evening Snow!"
Ling Chen's thumb turned into a sword, swiftly striking out.
"Swish!"
The surrounding air suddenly beca cold.
A faint cyan sword qi shot from Ling Chen's forefinger, striking the stone wall at the back of the valley. With a rumbling sound, it left a giant pit with a three-ter diater on the stone wall, as if it had been hit by a teor.
The surrounding stone wall cracked, emitting a "chis chis" sound, and was sealed by a layer of cold ice.
After a mont, Ling Chen's hand seal changed, and his right middle finger pointed out.
A sword qi flew from his fingertip, leaving an icy path on the ground.
"Boom!"
Another giant pit appeared on the stone wall, causing destructive power almost identical to that of the previous sword qi.
Ling Chen struck again, this ti sending out sword qi from his other three fingers in succession; the power was slightly weaker but not by much.
Three fingers, simultaneously unleashed.
Three paths of sword qi almost simultaneously flew out, once again leaving three large holes on the distant stone wall.
"I never expected this move, Green Silk Evening Snow, to achieve the level of five continuous strikes."
Ling Chen thought to himself, amazed. This sword technique, broken down, was equivalent to five moves, powerful in itself, containing a profound intent of ice within.
However, Ling Chen still needed more ice-attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to fully unleash the power of this sword technique.
"The Snake Gallbladder of the Black Wind Sea Python is indeed a good thing; without it, I probably wouldn't have known how long it would take to get started with this move, Green Silk Evening Snow."
Ling Chen hadn't delved into the Green Lotus Sword Song recently because he was stuck at this point. Unlike the previous two moves, Ascending Green Lotus and Blue Lotus Capture, the conditions for practicing this third move were very demanding, and Ling Chen previously hadn't t the cultivation conditions.
But now, relying on the Snake Gallbladder of the Black Wind Sea Python, Ling Chen successfully achieved his goal. Breaking through this obstacle, it was more or less smooth sailing ahead, without any further blockages.
Ling Chen was quite pleased; before coming to Spirit Snake Island, he never expected that within such a short ti, he would be able to practice the Green Lotus Sword Song up to the third form.
Even just getting started, it had such considerable power.
At the sa ti, Ling Chen's understanding of the first two forms of the Green Lotus Sword Song had also improved.
After refining the Snake Gallbladder, Ling Chen felt that his Martial Arts Cultivation had increased considerably, reaching the critical point of breaking through to the Sky Apex Fourth Layer.
In addition, even his eyesight, hearing, and ntal strength had all improved slightly, his senses sharpened, and the world around him beca clearer.
In the middle of the night, Ling Chen suddenly awoke from his cultivation, his ears twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Surrounded already, when did the Witch Fiend Sect's people discover ?"
Being deeply imrsed in cultivation just now, Ling Chen hadn't noticed the surrounding activity; but now that his cultivation was finished, every anomaly around him was under his control.
He didn't know what thod the opponent used to discover him so quickly; however, on second thought, it was sowhat expected, because the vicinity of Spirit Snake Island was filled with array formations and traps, and this little reef was probably no exception. Although his cultivation movents here weren't large, it was still very likely he'd be discovered.
Among the enemies in the darkness, two of them were quite powerful, even a bit stronger than Ling Chen himself at the mont. Only by using all his cards could Ling Chen have a chance to defeat them.
As the strong enemies approached, Ling Chen remained incredibly calm, picking up a branch from the ground and adding it to the campfire.
"Snap!"
The campfire's wood emitted a slight crackling sound, sending a few sparks flying.
"Rustle!"
A foot beneath the ground, a tal long whip full of sharp barbs snaked upward like a tallic serpent, rushing towards Ling Chen standing on the surface.
