Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Crushing the Zhao Family
Ever since he entered the North region, he was first driven out by the proud sons of Netherworld Capital.
And after arriving in Soul City, he couldn’t even purchase Soul Gathering Pills, as he was denied service at the door.
Ling Chen was truly enraged!
If the people of the North region treated him this way, then he would cause utter chaos.
"A million Soul Gathering Pills?"
Zhao Wuji was stunned on the spot.
Although Soul City is a gathering place for Divine Thought Master talents, the entire Soul City only produces about a hundred thousand Soul Gathering Pills a year, which is basically the limit.
Ling Chen demanded a million Soul Gathering Pills straight away?
Even if he turned the whole Soul City upside down, he wouldn’t be able to gather that amount.
Zhao Wuji looked at Ling Chen with a bitter smile and said, "Young Master Ling, a million Soul Gathering Pills, I really can’t procure that amount! Not just my Zhao Family, the entire Soul City can’t come up with that!"
"That’s your problem!"
Ling Chen scoffed coldly, "If you can’t produce them, then I’ll annihilate your Zhao Family to the last man!"
The million Soul Gathering Pills were merely an excuse for Ling Chen.
His purpose in coming here was to trample the Zhao Family and intimidate the entire North region.
Initially, he beheaded a dozen proud sons, and the people of the North region didn’t take it seriously. After encountering sabotage in Soul City, Ling Chen refused to endure any longer.
A horse that is good is ridden, a man that is good is bullied!
Ling Chen would just take this opportunity to kill one to warn the others!
He wanted to see how the people of the North region could deal with him!
"I’ll give you two hours to come up with a million Soul Gathering Pills."
Ling Chen stood aloft in the air.
"Young Master Ling, do you really intend to wipe out our Zhao Family?"
Zhao Wuji said with a cold voice.
A million Soul Gathering Pills, to say nothing of two hours, even in a year, his Zhao Family wouldn’t be able to produce that amount.
Ling Chen’s actions were clearly aimed at annihilating his family!
"What if I wipe out your Zhao Family?"
Ling Chen’s eyes were cold and sharp.
"What a brazen young man!"
Zhao Wuji was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
His Zhao Family was, after all, a great family in Soul City.
Yet they were being bullied by a young junior, who even threatened to annihilate their clan!
"It looks like you are really courting death!"
Ling Chen sneered, and the Red Lotus Karma Fire burst out with terrifying power, burning Zhao Qing’s Divine Soul to nothingness!
"All Zhao Family members, heed my command, whoever kills this boy will be rewarded with a thousand Soul Gathering Pills!"
Zhao Wuji shouted coldly.
Their Zhao Family had a thousand people, and he wanted to see how a mid-six-star level youngster could wipe out his clan!
When Ling Chen had exhausted his Spiritual Power, that would be the moment of his death here!
There are always brave men under the promise of generous rewards.
With those words, the Zhao Family boiled with excitement!
One after the other, their eyes blood-red, they launched attacks on Ling Chen.
Most of the Zhao Family members were Divine Thought Masters, initiating mostly Divine Soul Attacks.
And the Spiritual Power Practitioners of the Guard Team protected the Divine Thought Masters.
"Boom!"
In Ling Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, the Red Lotus Karma Fire blazed fiercely, guarding his Divine Soul.
"Kill!"
Ling Chen let out a loud shout and, holding the Purple Profound Sword, charged towards the Zhao Family members.
He immediately used a mid-grade Emperor Spirit Technique like Soaring Ascension to cross hundreds of yards in an instant, entering the crowd.
Green and red Sword Qi breathed on the Purple Profound Sword.
The power of the World and Sword Dao combined above it.
Wherever the Longsword passed, almost no one could fend off its sharpness!
"Shss, shss, shss!"
The Purple Profound Sword traced arcs of green and red lines, beheading Divine Thought Masters and Cultivators one after another.
Ling Chen, like a wolf among sheep, killed all those who stood before him.
"Zhao Wuji, your time has come!"
Ling Chen’s vision locked onto the figure of Zhao Wuji.
Right after issuing the command to kill Ling Chen, he quickly retreated towards the residence.
"Li Gongfeng!"
Zhao Wuji’s expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Family Head!"
A purple-robed elder stood in front of Zhao Wuji.
"Block my path and die!"
A murderous intent surged in Ling Chen’s eyes.
Li Gongfeng’s cultivation was nearly identical to the Wang Gongfeng whom Ling Chen had previously slain.
He was also a late-stage seven-star Emperor!
"Green Lotus Dharma Sword!"
Ling Chen didn’t waste any more words, directly using a mid-tier Emperor Spirit Technique, condensing it into a green-red magic sword!
"Whoosh!"
The green-red magic sword fiercely stabbed towards Li Gongfeng!
Li Gongfeng also used a mid-tier Emperor Spirit Technique, condensing a purple light sword, and slashed towards Ling Chen.
"Boom!"
The green-red magic sword instantly shattered the purple light sword and then, carrying endless might, pierced directly through Li Gongfeng’s brow.
Its formidable power undiminished, the sword then burst towards Zhao Wuji, who was behind Li Gongfeng.
Although Zhao Wuji was a high-tier Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master, he couldn’t contend with the green-red magic sword, which was imbued with World Power and the Sword Dao, and was also stabbed in the brow.
Realizing the situation was unfavorable, Zhao Wuji immediately let his Divine Soul leave his body.
Watching the transparent Divine Soul, Ling Chen moved swiftly, once again deploying a soaring maneuver and rushed over.
He grabbed Zhao Wuji’s Divine Soul in one swoop.
Then, he unleashed several strands of Divine Soul Telekinesis, forming a Divine Soul Cage, trapping Zhao Wuji’s Divine Soul within it.
One sword slew Li Gongfeng and destroyed Zhao Wuji’s physical body!
The people of the Zhao Family were terrified to the point of stupefaction.
"Kill!"
Ling Chen took Zhao Wuji’s Divine Soul into the inner world within his body.
He then continued to slaughter his way through the crowd.
His body emitted over a dozen bursts of Green Lotus Sword Qi every time.
Just this Sword Qi, which was a fusion of Spiritual Power, after being enhanced by a high-tier Emperor Spiritual Weapon, World Power, and the Sword Dao, was incredibly formidable.
Even a high-tier Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master couldn’t block it.
With each slash of Green Lotus Sword Qi, at least one person was killed, and at most four or five.
"Run!"
The crowd shouted and scattered in all directions.
Ling Chen was too powerful; no one could stand against him.
Now, with the Zhao Family Head and their protectors dead, the core of their strength shattered; naturally, the Zhao Family members were not willing to go to their deaths willingly.
An hour passed.
Here at the gate of Zhao Residence, it was practically a river of blood; the stench of blood reached the skies.
In this battle, Ling Chen exhausted the majority of the 13,000 Green Lotus Sword Qi stored within him.
Apart from a few small fries who escaped, almost all of the Zhao Family members were slaughtered.
Ling Chen swept through the battlefield once more and then entered the Zhao Residence, turning it upside down.
Afterward, Ling Chen began to cultivate right within the Zhao Residence.
Soon, the news that Zhao Family had been annihilated by Ling Chen spread throughout Soul City.
The entire Soul City was shaken as if by an earthquake!
Countless people felt a chill in their hearts.
The Heavenly Soul Commerce was all right, but other smaller commerce houses were scared out of their wits.
After all, they once refused Ling Chen.
You see, the reason Ling Chen annihilated the Zhao Family was simply because the Young Master of the Zhao Family, Zhao Qing, owed Ling Chen a Soul Gathering Pill.
That Zhao Family, they had the protection of two late-stage seven-star Emperors.
Such a force, being wiped out by Ling Chen alone, how could they not tremble with fear?
Afraid that Ling Chen would come knocking on their door.
At the Lan Residence.
In the council chamber.
"What? You’re saying that an hour ago, Ling Chen annihilated the Zhao Family?"
Lan Hongming found it hard to believe.
Although he knew that Ling Chen was powerful, he didn’t expect that he would directly wipe out the Zhao Family.
The Zhao Family was after all a major force in Soul City.
"Yes."
The Lan Family Head said, "I heard that people from the Murong Family in Netherworld came to see you? Quick, sever your relationship with this person. They brought destruction upon themselves, but our Lan Family does not wish for that."
Lan Hongming had personally taken action and been defeated by Ling Chen.
He knew very well that a genius like Ling Chen, once he grew up, would become incredibly fearsome!
Even now, Ling Chen’s power could almost only be defeated by an eight-star Emperor.
And an eight-star Emperor was already at a Commander-level strength.
Such individuals in the entire Soul City could be counted on one’s fingers.
His Lan Family also had only one such powerful protector.
