Chapter 743: Chapter 743: No One Dares to Default on My Account! (Sixth Update)
"Fine! It’s time for you to witness my true strength!"
Ling Chen’s face showed no fear.
"Boom!"
Ling Chen’s body trembled, and a more majestic aura surged out.
"Fivefold World Realm!"
Many exclaimed in shock.
Could it be that Ling Chen wasn’t a four-star emperor, but a five-star one?
Some practitioners of the five or sixfold World Realm slightly changed their expressions.
Even they had not sensed that Ling Chen had concealed his cultivation level.
Ling Chen possessed the Night Moon Saint Body, and his Spiritual Power was said to be naturally perfected.
If he wanted to hide his strength, probably only emperors with eight stars and above could sense it.
"What?"
Zhao Qing’s face changed, followed by a cold snort: "Do you really think you can defeat me?"
"Kill!"
Zhao Qing drew his sword, and a cyan light sword stabbed violently towards Ling Chen.
"Hmph!"
Ling Chen snorted coldly.
"Ghostly Demon Sword!"
He murmured in his heart, and seventy-two streaks of Sword Qi shot out, condensing into a black Demon Sword.
"Boom!"
The cyan light sword collided with the black Demon Sword, and a terrifying shockwave immediately swept around.
This frightened many Divine Thought Masters into retreating.
Since they were not adept at defense, if touched by the aftermath, they might very well get injured.
Upon the swords’ clash, the outcome was decided.
The black Demon Sword shattered the cyan light sword like decayed wood, continuing to thrust towards Zhao Qing.
"What?"
Zhao Qing’s complexion drastically shifted.
Spiritual Power crazily surged within him, setting up a hundred layers of Spiritual Power Defense in front of him; the cyan Longsword exuding Sword Qi was positioned horizontally, and a three-inch thick Protective Spiritual Power also spread over his body.
"Bang bang bang..."
A series of dull sounds erupted, and the hundred layers of Spiritual Power Defense were instantly breached.
"Boom!"
The black Demon Sword struck the cyan Longsword.
The terrifying force burst forth, slapping the Longsword directly onto Zhao Qing’s Protective Spiritual Power, sending him flying dozens of feet away!
Ling Chen had not used his full strength, so Zhao Qing was not injured, only his internal organs were slightly shaken.
"You’ve lost!"
Ling Chen sheathed his Longsword and smiled indifferently.
Seeing Ling Chen defeat Zhao Qing with one sword strike, everyone was incredulous.
Even the Spiritual Power Practitioners could not discern the trick.
Although Ling Chen was also a five-star emperor, he was slightly weaker than Zhao Qing.
Yet, the result of the battle was the exact opposite of their cultivation levels.
"A five-star emperor - it seems this young man is truly beyond doubt at the fourfold World Realm!"
"Yes, it seems only a true prodigy could defeat him!"
...
A sign of solemnity flashed across everyone’s faces.
Zhao Qing’s face was ashen.
He originally thought he could defeat Ling Chen with his Spiritual Power, but unexpectedly, he was the one defeated.
It was indeed too embarrassing.
Recalling his earlier arrogance, his face flushed with shame, and he could not bear to stay.
"I lost!"
Zhao Qing nodded, then infused his body with Spiritual Power and was about to shoot off into the distance.
"Wait a moment!"
Ling Chen spoke up.
"What else is there?"
Zhao Qing’s movement halted, and he turned back to look at Ling Chen.
"Have you perhaps forgotten about a Soul Gathering Pill?"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
If the eminent prodigy fought and lost against him, he needed to pay up a Soul Gathering Pill.
"Soul Gathering Pill?"
Zhao Qing’s face grew colder: "What are you to dare to ask me for a Soul Gathering Pill?"
He was from the Zhao Family.
An Alchemy Family of Soul City.
Although not as prominent as the Lan Family, it was still rather famous.
"What, are you trying to default on the bet?"
Ling Chen laughed helplessly.
Just a mere Soul Gathering Pill, and this fellow wanted to default?
That would be too much of a disgrace for a Soul City Divine Thought Master, wouldn’t it?
"Default?"
Zhao Qing let out a cold snicker and said, "Kid, make yourself clear. When have I ever reneged on a debt? What kind of person do you think I, Zhao Qing, am to renege on a debt to someone like you, an outsider?"
"Simple question, a Soul Gathering Pill, will you give it or not?"
Ling Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue.
"Scram!"
Zhao Qing scoffed.
What status does he have?
An outsider dares to demand a Soul Gathering Pill from him?
He has many Soul Gathering Pills.
But there’s no way he would give one to Ling Chen, an outsider.
"Fine!"
Ling Chen let out a cold laugh.
"Ascending to the Heavens!"
Ling Chen immediately executed a mid-grade Body Technique Emperor Spirit Technique, while activating the power of his Undying Star Physique, and charged straight at Zhao Qing.
"What? A mid-grade Body Technique Emperor Spirit Technique?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Ling Chen was too fast, almost instantaneously reaching Zhao Qing, and then the Red Long Sword in his hand slashed towards Zhao Qing’s right arm.
"How dare you make a move?"
Zhao Qing roared in anger.
Is this kid too audacious?
To dare to strike at him at the first disagreement?
"Swoosh!"
The sound of Sword Qi entering the body was heard, the Red Long Sword fell down and sliced off Zhao Qing’s right arm.
"Ah!"
Zhao Qing let out a terrible scream.
Ling Chen grabbed Zhao Qing’s severed arm, infused it with Spiritual Power, and shattered it directly.
Then he collected the storage ring.
"My debts are not to be reneged on by anyone!"
Ling Chen sneered, kicked out, and sent the wailing Zhao Qing flying.
Watching this scene, everyone was stunned.
Eyes filled with fear stared at the figure in the sky.
This guy actually dared to cut off Zhao Qing’s arm?
Is he not afraid the Zhao Family would kill him?
The Zhao Family has an upper-grade Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master and even a seven-star Emperor level guardian!
"You’re courting death!"
Zhao Qing had already taken a Healing Pill, his crimson eyes staring deadly at Ling Chen like a predator!
"Do you wish to die?"
Ling Chen coldly shouted.
Hearing this, Zhao Qing trembled.
He was no match for Ling Chen.
Seeing how fearless the latter was, he truly might get killed!
"Wait for it!"
Zhao Qing dropped these words and shot off into the distance.
Even though in Soul City there are elixirs that can regenerate limbs, he won’t be crippled for life.
However, how could he tolerate the disgrace of losing an arm?
This was not just about his own face, but also about the dignity of the Zhao Family!
Watching Zhao Qing disappear, Ling Chen acted as if nothing had happened, directly removing the seal on the storage ring under everyone’s scrutiny.
Then he dripped blood to claim ownership.
World Realm emperors could use the world within their bodies to store treasures.
But Divine Thought Masters have no such world inside them and must rely on storage rings.
This Zhao Qing, being a Divine Thought Master, would also carry a storage ring like other Divine Thought Masters.
Mainly to conceal the true capacity of Spiritual Power Practitioners.
To play the pig to eat the tiger.
"Seventeen Soul Gathering Pills! Hmm, not bad!"
Ling Chen nodded.
In the storage ring, besides the Soul Gathering Pills, there were also a few mid-grade Emperor realm weapons.
Ling Chen put them away directly.
Then, Ling Chen turned to face the crowd and said, "Since none of the genius talents dared to challenge me, now, please, the talented elites should make their move!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Ling Chen offended the Zhao Family and yet did not run away immediately, daring to continue?
Is this kid’s brain waterlogged?
"Hey, kid, you’d better leave quickly! Otherwise, when the Zhao Family’s people arrive, you won’t be able to escape!"
Someone advised.
Since Zhao Qing often bullied others, he was not well-liked.
"No need to worry!"
Ling Chen smiled nonchalantly and nodded slightly to the person who warned him, "The Zhao Family is just a minor concern, why should I fear them?"
These few days he had investigated the powers in Soul City.
Among the topmost forces, there was no mention of the Zhao Family.
So, he was not afraid.
