Chapter 592

Not just Ye QingChen, but even the white-robed scholar stared in amazement . They had no idea what was wrong with this Above Heavens Vice Sect Head . As for the bearded woodcutter, he burst out laughing immediately, saying, ”Meng LingXiao, this old man seems to have suffered from a cultivation deviation . . . ”

”Vice Sect Head . . . ”

”Second Senior Brother . . . . ”

The few leaders from the Above Heavens all exclaimed loudly at once . One of them even showed traces of anger in his eyes . They did not understand the underlying reason behind what happened, but no matter what it was, they could not just perform fratricide while in the middle of a war with their enemies, right? What difference would that be from directly betraying the sect?

Meng LingXiao was embarra.s.sed and furious, but his inner energy was already close to running out . He furiously bellowed, ”Ling Tian, I won't rest until one of us dies!” He pulled upon the dredges of his energies, and the originally scattered sword lights suddenly congealed to the point that they looked nearly corporeal, flying towards Ling Tian to cut him down .

”This young n.o.ble has no time . ” Ling Tian snorted in disdain . ”You're also not my child, so I have no need to accompany you to play . ” His figure twisted, and left behind four or five twisted shadows, colliding towards the troops of Above Heavens . The Heaven Splitter flashed, and as it spun in a circle, a few of the disciples that were slower fell to the ground as they screamed .

Meng LingXiao clenched his teeth and finely controlled his sword lights to turn back again, rus.h.i.+ng towards Ling Tian . His white beard was already speckled with droplets of blood . After forcing himself to integrate sword and body as one twice, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight . To add on force to increase its speed, his internal energy became over-stimulated, causing himself some serious internal injuries . Right now, he only wanted to use the threatening strength given by his 'man and sword as one' to kill Ling Tian or at least seriously injure him .

In addition, his hate towards Ling Tian had already reached an extreme, and if he could trade his life to deal some damage to Ling Tian, he would do it without any hesitation .

A bone-biting cold killing intent suddenly pervaded the entire battlefield!

”Vice Sect Head, be careful!”

”Second Senior Brother, careful!”

”Stop him!”

A few of the disciples threw themselves over with expressions of urgency and panic, disregarding their lives!

Meng LingXiao turned a deaf ear to all this and he did not even care what was happening around him . His eyes were already bloodshot with the image of Ling Tian's mocking smile the only thing reflected in his eyes and mind . He had only hate in his heart, and he only wished to kill that irritating kid .

A pity, reality sometimes was just this cruel!

Because . . .

He suddenly felt a chill pa.s.s through his neck, and saw himself suddenly flying up! As his eyes looked down, he witnessed a headless body with blood spouting from the severed neck, with its two hands gleaming with the light from the realm of sword and body as one as it rushed forward . It was definitely of that realm, despite the sword light already beginning to scatter .

How could a headless person activate this level of skill?

Wait a minute . . . that corpse, why does it resemble me so much? . . . Meng LingXiao's eyes suddenly opened up wide, full of incredulity, but his thoughts had ground to a halt at this point .

The Above Heavens Vice Sect Head, Meng LingXiao, had died!

Everyone could clearly see that just as Meng LingXiao thrust out with his sword, a black shadow suddenly appeared from nowhere, arcing across the battlefield in an instant and appearing behind Meng LingXiao . After that, a wave of the shadow's hand cleanly separated the former's head from his neck!

This clean and straightforward method of killing someone made everyone stall a little in their actions . This was because the person a.s.sa.s.sinated was the number two figure of the Above Heavens sect, Meng LingXiao! And furthermore, Meng LingXiao could not do anything other than to allow his head to be lopped off! Even if he could not retaliate, even if he was caught unprepared, how could his head be so easily taken off?

a.s.sa.s.sin! This person was definitely a peerless a.s.sa.s.sin! This was definitely someone who lived for the dao of killing!

The person in question shot forward rapidly, only revealing a blurred shadow of himself as it pa.s.sed through the Above Heavens crowd . It only halted when it came in front of Ling Tian . At this time, everyone saw that the shadow was actually a youth garbed in black .

Black robes, cold expression, his eyes scanning the battlefield like arcs of lightning . His face was handsome, but he exuded a fearsome killing intent, the sword in his hands still dripping blood .

Ling Jian!

Ling Jian had arrived!

Using his stored expansive sword energy, Ling Jian had rushed to the back of Meng LingXiao, and under the circ.u.mstance where the latter was an arrow at the end of its flight, this great Vice Sect Head was actually a.s.sa.s.sinated in one hit! Who would have thought that he would die such a miserable death, to the point of not even being able to see his killer before he died!

”You're late . ” Ling Tian looked at Ling Jian, a look of praise flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes . He naturally could see the breakthrough Ling Jian had with his martial skills .

”Yes, Young n.o.ble . ” Ling Jian nodded, before continuing in a hurried and low voice, ”Young n.o.ble, we need to finish this battle fast . I've just received news from the Crystal Pavilion that the number one aristocratic family in the Moon Deity Empire, the Lei Family, has secretly infiltrated Sky Bearing Empire . The exact number and names are unknown, but definitely above 1000 in number . Their objective currently remains unclear . ”

”How long has it been since you received the news?!” Ling Tian jumped in shock .

”When I received the news, it was around eight hours ago . ” Ling Jian's face now showed a sense of anxiety . ”The Ling Family Courtyard is in danger! La.s.s Chen is also in danger!”

A cold gleam shot through Ling Tian's eyes, and he no longer hesitated, suddenly howling out into the air, ”Use all your strength to kill, leave no one alive! Quickly clean up this group of trash and return to Sky Bearing!”

To leave behind even some would mean allowing a tumor to fester . This would bring unnecessary trouble, thus Ling Tian chose to wipe them all out!

”Yes!”

Just as his voice sounded in the ears of everyone present, Ling Jian had already thrown himself into the battle, the Black Iron sword in hand hacking down like a torrential downpour . As his figure flew forward, the disciples of the Above Heavens gurgled in their throats before falling to the ground . All of them sported a thin red line around the necks, the trademark skill of Ling Jian .

Ling Jian did not hesitate or conserve his power, going all-out at the start! Under his anxiousness, he did not bother to hide his skills as the number one famed killer . He moved like a wars.h.i.+p traveling unhindered through the seas, only leaving behind rolling waves of blood .

A blast of cold came into existence, as Li Xue rushed in amid a wave of white frost . With her fist on the left and her sword on the right, she threw herself into another direction of Above Heaven disciples . Every time her sword flashed at least one life would be reaped, and every time her fist landed someone would drop to the ground, frozen stiff .

A blast of cold came into existence, as Li Xue rushed in amid a wave of white frost . With her fist on the left and her sword on the right, she threw herself into another direction of Above Heaven disciples . Every time her sword flashed at least one life would be reaped, and every time her fist landed someone would drop to the ground, frozen stiff .

Within the icy fog, everyone was in disorder . The ground was littered with bodies, none of them fated to walk back out alive .

Ling Tian's movement skill accelerated to his peak within an instant, and at his maximum speed, the three burly men who were barricading his way turned into six chunks of flesh . With a shout, he had already appeared and blocked the way of the two leaders of Above Heavens, and his sword thrust out over a hundred times in a few moments, akin to raindrops falling on them!

The two leaders received a huge shock and immediately resisted while retreating in a haggard manner . Ling Tian's movement technique had reached such speeds that it was impossible to imagine that a mortal body could achieve it . He suddenly slipped past them, and with a sweep of his sword, two other disciples lost their lives . Ling Tian flipped himself up, using the heads of the disciples in front of him as stepping stones as he proceeded onward, rupturing their heads in the process and leaving a trail of corpses to mark his progress . By the time he landed, he was once again in front of the two leaders .

At this point, the guards of the two leaders suddenly stiffened and stumbled over . Just as they touched the ground, their bodies separated into two! n.o.body saw a thing, especially how Ling Tian had acted, but the two leaders just seemed to have mysteriously died just like that .

Another two moves were exchanged, and the leaders were forced back seven to eight steps . The Heaven Splitter in Ling Tian's hands suddenly shot upwards to the sky, and using his two palms, he congealed his full strength, striking out eight times in a row, causing a strong gale to be whipped up .

Ling Tian did not even bother to stay, his figure shooting up into the sky like a sword before grasping the Heaven Splitter . In one move, he crossed a hundred feet before directly landing atop a horse . He reversed his grip on his sword and prodded the b.u.t.t of said horse, causing it to neigh loudly and take off away from the battlefield .

His voice traveled as he rode off into the distance, ”There have been some unforeseen circ.u.mstances! Everyone, please settle this quickly and return, I'll make a move first! The three seniors of Beyond Heavens, Ling Tian thanks you for your help in advance!” As he finished speaking, so did the sound from the horse galloping vanish without a trace .

It was only now that the eight palms Ling Tian had sent out suddenly exploded outwards, blasting the two leaders of Above Heavens into little meat chunks scattering all over the battlefield . When Ling Tian had moved, he determined that they would die without a doubt, and hence did not even bother checking once!

Ling Jian was so totally engrossed in the slaughtering that he did not even reply Ling Tian's words . Wherever his slim body pa.s.sed, there were only dead, no injured . The Above Heavens disciples present were being cut down like leaves being blown off the trees by the autumn wind, only leaving a few heads for Ye QingChen and the other Beyond Heavens members .

Li Xue flew past him, and behind her similarly was devoid of people . Both exchanged a glance, slightly nodding, before rus.h.i.+ng forward once again, attacking the leaders of Above Heavens that Ye QingChen and company were tangling with .

The few leaders there were already at their wit's end, and upon the entrance of this new variable, they dropped down like flies without resistance .

The bearded woodcutter flared up, shouting, ”Busybodies! Sneaking an attack from the back, what a . . . ”
