Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Reinforcements

"Wei Renjie, you keep saying that Junior Brother Ling Chen broke your arm and killed Yuwen Lin, but these are just your words. For such matters, we should find the involved parties and report to the sect elders; it’s for them to decide."

Lin Wan furrowed her brows and continued, "You are pushing too hard, are you trying to provoke a war between Lingyue Island and Desolate Fire City?"

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing Lin Wan’s words, the Marquis Guiming suddenly laughed, and his eyes quickly turned icy, sending chills down everyone’s spine. "If a war is to be started, then so be it, but before that, I must avenge Junior Brother Yuwen. Since I can’t find that little beast Ling Chen, I’ll have to settle for taking your lives first."

"Two Heavenly Prides, one Outstanding. Killing you all should severely damage the vitality of Lingyue Island, right?"

A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Marquis Guiming, and in the next moment, he suddenly disappeared from the original spot.

"Not good, retreat quickly!"

Gu Wuqing felt a tingling on his scalp; he hadn’t expected Marquis Guiming to disregard dignity and act without hesitation, seemingly ready to get serious!

In panic, Gu Wuqing could only muster the courage, draw his sword, and face up. Behind him were Zhou Qingqing and several junior and senior disciples like Lin Wan. He couldn’t possibly avoid Marquis Guiming’s offensive, allowing the latter to threaten Zhou Qingqing and others’ lives.

"Moonfall Ruthless!"

Gu Wuqing reversed his grip and unleashed a sword move. This set of swordsmanship, named Moonfall Sword Technique, is a renowned Holy Grade sword art of Lingyue Island. Gu Wuqing has reached a very high level of mastery in this swordsmanship.

The sword qi was like a bright moon falling from the sky, with astonishing speed, plummeting towards the Marquis Guiming ahead.

"Humph!"

Marquis Guiming snorted coldly, and from bottom to top, he swung his long knife. On the blade, fierce fiery light burst forth, and the razor-sharp blade light slashed the moon-falling sword qi.

Crack!

Under the slash of the blade light, the moonfall sword qi split into two. Marquis Guiming’s ferocious blade light emitted again, enveloping towards Gu Wuqing.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sword and blade shadows swept across, and the two men exchanged blows four times. On the fourth blow, Gu Wuqing’s sword was forcibly snapped and flew away, his defenses wide open, completely exposed to Marquis Guiming’s knife.

Gu Wuqing was taken aback, but before he could take the next step, his chest was struck with a swipe, "Pucha!" Gu Wuqing’s protective true qi in front of him was abruptly torn apart, the sharp blade light sliced through his body, almost cutting him in two.

"Demon Power of Heaven and Earth!"

This time, Leng Qianshang also moved. In the instant Gu Wuqing was defeated, he had already prepared his kill move, a devilish-fisted strike, firing toward the Marquis Guiming to kill.

Marquis Guiming saw this, but did not withdraw his blade. The true qi within him suddenly operated tenfold. He abruptly pushed his abdomen, and from within his body, an extremely deep black blade qi shot out.

"Nurturing blade qi within the body?"

Zhou Qingqing and the others were shocked. The black blade qi wasn’t a normal blade qi but was hidden within Marquis Guiming’s body. This blade qi was refined meticulously with the most pure true qi and his blade intent.

Snap!

Leng Qianshang’s seemingly mighty punch strength was cut in half by the black blade qi in the blink of an eye, dissipating.

Pucha!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed forth, and Leng Qianshang followed in Gu Wuqing’s footsteps, uncontrollably knocked flying backward.

"Humph, this is Senior Brother Zhang’s signature technique, Black Flame Blade Qi. Leng Qianshang, to be defeated by this move, you can be said to have met a proper defeat."

Not far away, Wei Renjie saw this scene and coldly sneered.

"Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Leng!"

Zhou Qingqing and others hurried forward to support the two, but both had already been harmed by Marquis Guiming, and not lightly.

"Damn it, is the gap really that wide?"

Gu Wuqing looked at the Marquis Guiming not far away with some discontent. The opponent’s cultivation was merely a bit higher than theirs, yet unexpectedly, the strength was much higher.

"If blame is to be placed, blame that little beast Ling Chen. If not for him, you wouldn’t be dying here."

Marquis Guiming’s gaze was extremely indifferent. As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of murderous intent.

Feeling this murderous intent, Zhou Qingqing and Lin Wan’s faces changed. It seems Marquis Guiming truly intends to end their lives here!

"Elder Seven, Elder Thirteen, Free and Unrestrained Marquis brothers, why haven’t you appeared yet..."

Zhou Qingqing was almost in tears. She had never felt so panic-stricken before; she truly sensed the breath of death. Today, they really might die at the hands of the Marquis Guiming.

For Marquis Guiming, since he had decided to disregard the consequences, he naturally wouldn’t relent. After consecutively defeating Gu Wuqing and Leng Qianshang, the true qi within him activated once more, and a strand of fiery glow quickly shone on the long knife.

"Dignified Marquis Guiming, how could you attack a group of junior disciples here, it seems rather beneath your identity."

Just then, a voice that sounded carefree and relaxed suddenly echoed from mid-air behind them.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Qingqing and Lin Wan turned their heads to look into the sky, seeing a young figure riding the sword from afar. His white robe fluttered, akin to a white-robed Sword Immortal, clearly visible in sight.

"It’s Junior Brother Ling Chen!"

Lin Wan was startled for a moment before reacting, a happy face emerging.

"Senior Brother Ling Chen has arrived! But can he be a match for the Marquis Guiming?"

Zhou Qingqing initially felt joy; after being subdued by Ling Chen, her attitude toward him had changed greatly, losing much of the hostility and gaining admiration.

But soon after, she couldn’t help but worry. Marquis Guiming had just effortlessly defeated two Heavenly Pride level experts, Gu Wuqing and Leng Qianshang. Although Ling Chen is the leader of the first group and remarkably gifted, can he truly overcome Marquis Guiming?

"The kid appearing now is sending himself to death."

Leng Qianshang shook his head; he knew Ling Chen’s strength well, and although Ling Chen was indeed stronger, compared to the Marquis Guiming, he was still significantly lacking.

"This kid is smart as a monkey. If he didn’t have some confidence, would he come out to die?"

Gu Wuqing didn’t believe Ling Chen would fly toward death like a moth to a flame. After all, previously, he and Leng Qianshang joined forces yet couldn’t subdue Ling Chen, who managed to escape.

This kid is more shrewd than anyone. He felt perhaps Ling Chen’s current appearance might bring a twist to their seemingly doomed situation.
