99 The Destruction of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect XII (1/2)
”Little brat, now that you see the gap of power between us, are ready so surrender or do you want some more beating.” The old man coldly said as he leered at Ling Chen. He had an imperious expression as if he was the ruler of Heaven and Earth. Life and death would be decided by him.
” I am a merciful person and do not wish to take your life. My demand is very simple. Hand over the Devouring Battle Technique and surrender yourself.”
His words were even more pleasant than a melody. From the beginning, he came for Ling Chen's devouring battle technique.
And of course, he wouldn't let him go even after he got his hand on the battle technique. To him, Ling Chen was the most dangerous person he's ever met because of that technique. If let alone, there's no telling what kind of height he would reach in the future.
At this moment, Ling Chen was covered in blood, and there were cracks all over his body. The full body armor made of dark true Qi energy was really powerful and was as hard as steel, to break it was more difficult than reaching the heavens. However, that powerful full-body armor couldn't even withstand a single attack from that old man.
Furthermore, the old man didn't even use his full strength. This alone proved just how powerful he was.
”Surrender? I don't have such a habit to give up before a fight even starts.”
”Furthermore, now that you've shown me a glimpse of your power, it's only polite to return the favor.” Ling Chen said as he looked around the inner sect region that had already transformed into a dark wasteland filled with death aura with an enigmatic smile on his face.
He has been preparing that thing ever since he stepped foot into the inner sect region. It was his ultimate trump card. Now, it seemed like all the preparation were complete. There's no need to wait any longer.
His eyes became bright, and at the same time, his bones began to shake. All the broken bones along with his muscles were connecting together once again. In a blink of an eye, all of his internal and external injuries were healed.
Upon hearing Ling Chen's answer, the old man was confused. The little bastard was just a Martial Venerable realm warrior, what kinda favor could he return.
Was he talking about his insane self-recovery ability?
Aside from the old man, the remaining great elders were also confused by Ling Chen's words.
The old man expression became cold as he answered:” Little brat if you are being too stubborn, I'm gonna have ...”
However, before the old man could even finish his sentence.
”Boom!”
A deafening blast occurred as the mountain peak where Ling Chen's cave mansion was located was blown apart.
At the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous black rays suddenly came through the ground and shot toward the nearby great elders that were hovering in the sky above that mountain peak. They were as fast as lightning so they looked like numerous black lightning bolts.
However, upon closer inspection, they turned out to be numerous dark tree roots flying towards the great elders like a shuttle in the void.
”Watch out!” Shouted the ancestor upon seeing this scene.
The ancestor's eyes turned cold and quickly summoned a bloody red sword.
Swoosh!
He swung the bloody red sword forward which sent out a crescent translucent energy wave. The old ancestor already knew what Ling Chen was trying to do. As such, he wanted to stop him.
Nonetheless, it was already too late as everyone was caught off guard with its sudden appearance.
Before they could even have the chance to scream, the numerous dark tree roots had already pierced through their chest and wrapped around the remaining great elders, quickly pulling them down.
By the time their bodies touched the ground, they had already turned into nothing but dried corpses as the numerous dark tree roots had drained their blood and life essence.
”What kind of monster is this…”
Seeing the events that transpired right before his eyes, the ancestor felt a cold chill that reverberated throughout his body!
”What the hell are these things?” The elders and disciples watching the fight from afar were confused.
”It's not enough.” Murmured Ling Chen after the numerous dark tree roots have absorbed the blood and life essence of a more than a dozen Martial Venerable realm warrior in a blink of an eye.
”Boom!” Another deafening blast occurred and the ground shook again.
Mud and rubbles went flying as many tall and sturdy dark tree roots rose from the ground. Each one of them looked like an octopus' tentacle but was completely dark, seemingly coming from the deeps below.
”Rumble!” More explosions detonated right after this. The entire inner sect region was on the verge of collapsing as each one of the mountain peaks was being blown apart with many dark tree roots coming out of the ground.
An endless amount of dark tree roots drilled out of the ground, squirming and twisting in the air. This was quite a frightening scene
Seeing this scene, the old ancestor was startled. He had no idea how Ling Chen was able to control the endless dark tree roots that rose from the ground like a flood of darkness.
”Not good, everyone retreat!” Shouted the ancestor upon realizing Ling Chen's intention again.
Nevertheless, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, the entire inner sect region was surrounded by a legion of dark roots. Not only that, the ground beneath has been wrapped and overtaken by countless dark tree roots as well.
It was one thing if it was only one or two dark tree roots, but there were several hundred or maybe even thousands of them, forming an army of dark tree roots.
Each one of them exuded a deathly atmosphere. Not to mention the disciples, even the old ancestor was frightened out of his wits upon seeing this scene.
At this moment, all the disciples that were outside watching the fight were immediately paralyzed where they stood. They've already witnessed the power of those dark tree roots when they drag down the remaining great elders and sucked them dried.
” The dark tree roots....”
Someone ghastly screamed:
”Run…”
At this moment, everyone was scared shitless and started running for their lives. Even the arrogant Elder Li was also deathly pale. He yelled out and turned around to escape.
