Chapter 1162 - 1161: Elder Tu
"Damn little beast!"When Elder Tu saw this scene, his eyelid twitched, and he was furious. If it weren’t for the distance between him and Ling Chen, he would have already crippled Ling Chen and taken his head.
Suddenly, he flipped his hand, and a crimson token appeared in his palm, emblazoned with a fire qilin. With the infusion of Elder Tu’s robust True Qi, the token emitted a beam of light at incredible speed.
The crimson light projected in the void area in front of Marquis Guiming, transforming into a giant flaming shield.
Clang!
Ling Chen’s sword light pierced the flaming giant shield, erupting violently with sparks, as this sword strike was completely blocked and neutralized.
In the next instant, an immense backlash force traveled through the Thunder Sound Sword, pushing Ling Chen’s body backward.
"That’s the Holy Fire Order of Desolate Fire City!"
Upon seeing the crimson token, Gu Wuqing and the others recognized it immediately. Desolate Fire City possessed three Holy Fire Orders, each with formidable power, comparable to sacred objects.
Unexpectedly, Elder Tu actually carried a Holy Fire Order with him today.
After repelling Ling Chen, Elder Tu quickly caught Marquis Guiming who was falling from mid-air.
Upon checking Marquis Guiming’s breath and finding him only gravely injured and unconscious, Elder Tu heaved a sigh of relief. Marquis Guiming was the most outstanding figure among Desolate Fire City’s youth, and if something happened to him, as the elder overseeing the trial, he couldn’t escape blame.
However, Marquis Guiming’s injuries were rather severe, with varying degrees of damage to his internal organs and even his blade soul.
The blade soul is the most crucial element for a swordsman warrior, and if it’s injured, leaving aftereffects would result in serious consequences, potentially affecting future achievements.
"Elder Tu, this Ling Chen is too vicious, he nearly killed Senior Brother Zhang Yuze!"
Wei Renjie hurried over to Elder Tu, tattling, "And my arm was chopped off by this person, even Senior Brother Yuwen Lin...he was also tragically harmed by Ling Chen."
"What?"
Elder Tu was already furious with Ling Chen, and upon hearing about Ling Chen’s many deeds—not only injuring Marquis Guiming, but also cutting off Wei Renjie’s arm and killing Yuwen Lin?
This equates to killing a heavenly pride, crippling an outstanding individual, and injuring a divine marquis?
The entire youth generation of Desolate Fire City has been turned upside down by this kid, their vitality grievously injured!
"Wei Renjie, stop spewing false accusations! Yuwen Lin’s death has nothing to do with Senior Brother Ling Chen, how can you slander so recklessly?"
Zhou Qingqing frowned, glaring angrily at Wei Renjie, and shouted sharply.
"Silence!"
Elder Tu’s face was grim, paying no heed to any words, his heart bleeding. As the overseer of the Demon Dragon Palace trial, he never imagined the trial would result in massive losses within Desolate Fire City’s disciples. Returning would mean facing severe punishment from the Wildfire City Master and the elderly meeting.
With a sinister gaze fixed on Ling Chen, displaying a voracious look, "To think a young lad like you, appearing decent, turns out to be such a malevolent little demon!"
"You’ve wantonly slaughtered innocents, even killing our Desolate Fire City’s disciples. You’ve gone mad, and today, I shall clean house for My Lingyue Island, eliminating a scourge from the Righteous Martial World!"
He understood that striking at Ling Chen directly would compromise his standing as an elder of Desolate Fire City. In the Nine Provinces Sect Realm, hierarchy and respect were crucial, and an elder targeting a junior disciple would tarnish his reputation. Hence, before taking action, he labeled Ling Chen as a little demon so that killing him would be a righteous action, ridding the world of a demon head.
"Old bastard, you shamelessly bully the young! Despite being an elder of Desolate Fire City, you disgracefully live your age as mere scum!"
Seeing Elder Tu about to strike Ling Chen, Zhou Qingqing shouted sternly once again.
Chided by Zhou Qingqing, Elder Tu’s face turned somewhat unsightly, though thick-skinned, he couldn’t ignore being openly scolded by a little girl.
However, having already resolved to kill Ling Chen, how could Zhou Qingqing’s scolding deter him? Passion surged as he stomped the ground fiercely, instantly exuding an intense, volatile wave from his body. At that moment, it was as if a volcano had erupted, and surrounding vegetation spontaneously ignited, turning to ashes drifting into the air.
The terrifying cultivation of the Saint Realm Third Layer wholly erupted.
"Hmph, executing demons for the world is my duty. Prepare to die, little demon!"
A lethal glare shot from Elder Tu’s eyes, his body radiating like a small sun. Behind him, with astonishing speed, his violent and scorching True Qi condensed into a hundred-zhang tall Flame Fiendish Bull.
As soon as these words fell, Elder Tu threw a fierce punch, accompanied by a heaven-shaking noise, the massive Flame Fiendish Bull shot out like lightning, charging towards Ling Chen with a destructive stride.
Wherever it passed, the ground fractured, leaving a deeply scarred and charred trail.
Observing the terrifying fist strength, Ling Chen’s pupils contracted sharply, as evading this punch in his current state seemed impossible!
His body could only retreat rapidly, yet how could his retreating speed match the Flame Fiendish Bull’s? In a blink, the distance shrank to less than ten meters.
Ling Chen could feel the overwhelmingly hot breath rushing toward him, scorching his skin. This horrendous high temperature likely could only be withstood by one who had fully condensed a saint body!
"Elder Tu, do you truly regard My Lingyue Island people as mere decoration?"
At that moment, as Ling Chen’s vision blurred, a petite blue silhouette appeared in front of him unbeknownst to him. In her small hand flashed a blue soft sword, like a ribbon.
This petite figure gripped the blue soft sword, standing her ground, the sword seemed softly thrust out.
Yet, though seemingly weak, the intense fire light emitted by the Flame Fiendish Bull was effortlessly pierced and torn apart in front of the soft sword.
