Chapter 234 (2/2)

Just then, Ling Chigu quickly rushed into the sky that was swirling with sword Qi. He formed a magic seal with both hands and expressionlessly let the lightning stars scattered in the sky break up the sword Qi.

Shen Changgeng was bewildered. He glared at the tall man whose pale face didn’t conceal his superior Qi. “Who are you? Don’t tell me you want to be an enemy of the Shen family?”

Ling Chigu naturally wouldn’t answer.

Yet Shen Changgeng thought that the other party was looking down on him, so his gaze turned cold. He drew his sword and rushed forward, “You busybody, you’re seeking your own death!”

“Ah Gu, watch out!” Yan Tianhen was afraid that Ling Chigu would lose out because he has no weapon, so he cried out anxiously.

Within Ling Chigu’s veins, there didn’t seem to be the word ‘retreat’ since his birth.

So when he rushed straight at the sword-wielding Shen Changgeng empty handed without trying to avoid him at all, Yan Tianhen’s heart rose all the way to his throat.

Without noticing, someone smacked a palm on his chest and sent him flying backwards.

Ling Chigu suddenly went back and allowed the sword Qi to pierce through his palm, while his other hand smacked Shen Changge’s chest. This smack made Shen Changgeng spit out a mouthful of blood, so he had to draw his sword back and retreat.

Lin Xuanzhi was still in seclusion.

He had already entered a state of the , and he was already accustomed to the pain. Everything happening outside was just affairs of another world to him.

Ling Chigu was ready to take advantage of his victory to give change, but a powerful, omnipresent pressure appeared, making everyone present feel a pain in their chest and have difficulty with their breathing. There were even some who spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

The visitor was no longer young; with grey hair and a long beard, and a gray robe adorned with a Shen family plaque hung at his waist.

It was actually an elder from the Shen family!

Duan Yuyang was stunned at once and blurted out, “The shamelessness of your Shen family is actually an inherited trait!”

An overseeing elder from the Shen family actually came!

Although his cultivation level had been suppressed to the Third Layer of his Foundation Stage, his original cultivation level was still of a Profound-level after all. Just its pressure could crush these brats who were still wet behind their ears until they spat out mouthfuls of blood. Even Ling Chigu’s legs bent, causing him to almost fell to his knees.

“What do we need you for? You good-for-nothing!” The Shen family berated Shen Changgeng rudely.

Shen Changgeng looked overjoyed as he quickly got up, “Second Elder, the Hepta-Brilliant Sacred Fire was swallowed by that kid!”

Second Elder Shen hovered in mid air as he stared at Yan Tianhen, like a venomous snake staring at its food. He waved his sleeves, and actually clutched Yan Tianhen’s throat through telekinesis and lifted him into the air!

“Those from the Shen family, obey my command. Go and kill the rest quickly, not one can be left alive!” Second Elder shouted coldly — he wanted Shen Changgeng to silence them by murdering them!

The pupils who had come with Shen Changgeng revealed dismayed expressions, but the Shen family pupils were already swinging their weapons at them. The people who were still in an alliance just a moment ago had fallen out and turned into enemies right now!

“Ugh–” Yan Tianhen struggled, pain evident on his face. Ling Chigu emitted “” noises from his throat and jumped up. Just as he was about to unleash a fierce attack on the elder, he was ruthlessly smacked back to the ground by Second Elder Shen with one wave of his sleeve.

Second Elder Shen clenched his fist and Yan Tianhen felt like his soul was being torn apart. He couldn’t help but let out a heartrending ““.

Duan Yuyang threw out a talisman, but it was useless. Instead, like an ant being pinched, he was thrown straight at a rock.

Duan Yuyang’s head bled upon impact, golden stars appearing in front of his eyes. He could vaguely see the pale-faced Yan Tianhen through his blood, the youth’s eyes already rolled up while his body trembled — he was on the verge of dying.

The gap in their strength was too big, there was nothing else they could do.

Yan Tianhen’s heart was about to explode. A scorching sensation started spreading out from his Dantian Qi sea; he felt like something was b.u.mping around everywhere violently in his body, as if there was a huge gate that would be opened if just a little bit more force was exerted.

However, right at that moment, a furry thing rushed out of the pocket at Yan Tianhen’s chest. It chirped with a “” and flapped its wings, glaring with its pair of reddish gold eyes as it abruptly spat out a mouthful of flames at the person who had disturbed its sleep!

—

Fine sparks somehow turned into a giant flame all of a sudden. It first caught up to Second Elder Shen with aand instantly burned him up until not even his ashes remained, then a flame shower started that set the entire mountain on fire!

As the fire spread, Shen Changgeng saw with his own eyes how the others turned into ashes within an instant. He was so frightened he let out a loud cry and quickly crushed the transportation ball in his hands in an attempt to escape.

However, it was too late. There was still a fine spark that had spattered onto his finger at the last minute.

After leaving the Pill Limit Mysterious Land, Shen Changgeng’s entire right arm was on fire. The people outside all cried out in alarm and retreated, and only the young master of Sky Peak Sect, Ren Fuyao, decisively used his finger to draw out an arc of sword Qi that cut off his right arm straight away.

“AH–” Shen Changgeng let out a wail of anguish before he fainted.

“What kind of fire is this? It’s extremely powerful!” Someone cried out. Only a grey snake-like trace could be seen of the arm that had been cut off. When the wind blew, even this last trace wasn’t left behind.
