Chapter 354: Chapter 353: Four Outstanding Talents_1
"Kid, you’ve got some skills."
The Black Holy Envoy looked at Ling Chen with some surprise. The latter had so casually neutralized their combined attack. For a 9th-Level Martial Artist to achieve this was undoubtedly unimaginable.
"The Black and White Holy Envoys of the Demon Cult are nothing special after all."
Ling Chen felt the surging Dragon Vein Power within him, a slight smile playing on his lips. This Dragon Vein Power was terrifyingly strong; no wonder the Demon Cult members went to such lengths to seize it.
With this power, he now had no need to fear even the Top Sky Apex Strong.
"The Dragon Vein Power seems to have given you quite a bit of confidence."
The White Holy Envoy also narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flickering within them.
"If we don’t show some real skill, I’m afraid we, the Black and White Holy Envoys, will become a laughingstock today."
The Black Holy Envoy’s eyes darkened, and he bowed slightly. Powerful Black True Qi continuously flooded into the Black Sickle in his hand, coating it with an eerie black luminescence.
Beside him, the Mourning Stick in the White Holy Envoy’s hands also seemed to emit mournful wails. A translucent white glow flowed over it, chilling enough to make one’s soul tremble!
The Black and White Holy Envoys moved almost simultaneously, appearing before Ling Chen in an instant. The Black Sickle and the Mourning Stick intertwined, suddenly releasing an immensely powerful and sinister aura.
A sinister wind billowed as True Qi materialized into a colossal Evil Spirit projection. It seemed to sprout from the two weapons, possessing only an upper torso, and it reached out with both hands to grab Ling Chen’s neck.
The moment Ling Chen saw the Evil Spirit projection, his expression changed. He had never believed in supernatural phenomena like spirits or Ghost Gods. Yet, the martial arts of the Black and White Holy Envoys seemed truly capable of summoning beings from the Netherworld, exuding an extreme, sinister evil.
"True Dragon Guardian!"
As the Evil Spirit projection closed in, Ling Chen suddenly roared. A vivid and majestic dragon shadow erupted from his body, coiling around him. The moment the Evil Spirit projection approached, the dragon shadow violently stirred. Its massive head then slammed fiercely into the Evil Spirit projection.
The dragon shadow and the Evil Spirit projection clashed. Accompanied by a deafening impact, the Evil Spirit projection was clearly sent flying, one of its arms completely obliterated, and it emitted an ear-piercing shriek.
Witnessing this, the Black and White Holy Envoys were both astonished. Their combined attack had actually been shattered by Ling Chen!
"How satisfying! Demon, die!"
After continuously channeling the Dragon Vein Power, Ling Chen had gained a general understanding of its strength. Even the renowned Black and White Holy Envoys were no longer his match!
The Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword felt as light as a feather in Ling Chen’s hand. His foot suddenly tapped the ground, and he swung his sword, taking the initiative to slash at the Black and White Holy Envoys!
"Seeking death!"
The Black and White Holy Envoys were enraged. As Demon Way titans of the Sky Apex Realm, when had a junior ever behaved so arrogantly towards them? Ordinarily, they could have crushed Ling Chen with a single hand!
But now, Ling Chen was actually able to fight both of them simultaneously and wasn’t at a disadvantage in the slightest!
"This kid is ridiculously arrogant!"
From the Demon Way’s side, several Great Master Level Powerhouses targeted Ling Chen. Their figures flashed out one after another, charging towards him with palpable killing intent.
A salvo of ferocious attacks instantly rained down on Ling Chen like a storm.
"Scram!"
Ling Chen stood his ground, motionless, allowing the several Demon Way Grand Masters to charge at him. Just an instant before they reached his side, he suddenly moved. He threw a fierce punch, his Fist Strength transforming into a dragon that surged forward powerfully.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
These Demon Way Grand Masters, all at least of the Seventh Realm, were completely repelled by Ling Chen’s punch. They all vomited blood and retreated in miserable defeat.
"As expected of Ling Tianyu’s son! Well done!"
Seeing Ling Chen display such might and successively repel Demon Way Experts, Lu Youzhen’s anxious heart finally settled, and his expression became invigorated.
Perhaps today’s victory against the Demon Cult will depend on this kid!
"Such an annoying brat, just like his father."
Sikong Yi’s eyes darkened slightly, but then an icy glint surged within them. After repelling Lu Youzhen with a palm strike, Sikong Yi raised his hand and waved it through the air. Suddenly, over a dozen white-robed Demon Way Experts sprang out. They rushed towards the Array Stone in the center of the venue.
The dozen-plus Demon Way Experts each produced a Talisman, infusing their True Qi into them. The Talismans resonated with the Array Stone, and a massive, eerie rune emerged from the giant Array Stone.
HUM!
An evil black radiance suddenly burst from the Array Stone, spreading outwards along the Demon Marks on the ground. Soon, the Four-sided Demonic Formation began to operate at an accelerated pace.
In the center of the Four-sided Demonic Formation, directly above the giant Array Stone, a massive vortex appeared. A powerful suction force emanated from the vortex, and immense, invisible pressure instantly bore down on Ling Chen.
Ling Chen felt a powerful devouring suction force pressing down on him, as if the True Qi within his body was about to be ripped out.
Nearby warriors were directly pulled in. Their bodies were forcefully drained dry, their Vital Energy siphoned away along with their life force, leaving them as shriveled corpses.
Not good! The Dragon Vein Power is diminishing!
Ling Chen sensed that not only was his True Qi becoming agitated, but even his Dragon Vein Power was being drawn out, as if it were about to be sucked into the Four-sided Demonic Formation.
If he lost the Dragon Vein Power, his strength would likely plummet back to its original level. Then, the situation would be truly beyond remedy.
"Boy, you’ve been smug long enough. It’s time to send you on your way."
Seeing Ling Chen’s flushed face, the Black and White Holy Envoys smirked coldly. They naturally knew the might of the Four-sided Demonic Formation. This Array Formation, a Demon Array, had been specifically researched to counter Dragon Vein Power. Under its influence, Ling Chen could no longer suppress his Dragon Vein Power.
The sound of whistling wind resonated as the two of them launched their attacks at Ling Chen once again.
Ling Chen could only suppress the turmoil within his body and brace himself to meet their attack. However, after just two exchanges, he was struck in the chest by the White Holy Envoy’s palm. He retreated several tens of meters, pulled towards the Array Eye.
An earthy-yellow dragon shadow was being torn from Ling Chen’s body. Half of it was already visible, on the verge of being completely stripped away.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
However, just then, a series of whistling sounds cut through the air. Four figures appeared as if descending from the heavens, suddenly landing around Ling Chen.
The four simultaneously struck, infusing an incredibly potent stream of True Qi into Ling Chen’s body!
The Dragon Vein Power, which had been on the verge of being torn from his body, was pulled back slightly!
"Ling Chen, hang in there!"
A familiar female voice reached his ears. Ling Chen’s gaze shifted, and he saw a familiar, beautiful face—it was Liu Feiyue, whom he had met in East Desolation City.
The other three all possessed Cultivation at the Grandmaster Peak. Their demeanors were extraordinary and imposing, their auras comparable to Liu Feiyue’s.
The Four Outstanding Talents!
The moment he saw these four, Ling Chen’s heart jolted; he instantly guessed their identities.
