Chapter 754: Chapter 754: The Bone-Attaching Carbuncle
Ling Chen looked at Murong Qingshan, whose killing intent shook the heavens, and did not dare to underestimate him.
In his right hand, he tightly held a Silver Sphere.
This was the reliance he had to dare to kill Murong Ziyi in front of Murong Qingshan!
The Silver Sphere was something given to him before Shen Xing left.
It was said to possess the power to kill a nine-star Emperor.
"Boy, why did you kill my son?"
Murong Qingshan gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Ling Chen with a desire to tear him apart and drink his blood!
Never had he imagined that Ling Chen would be so bold as to kill Murong Ziyi right in front of him!
"What, the Young Master is dead?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes bulged in disbelief.
Someone dared to commit murder in the Commander’s mansion and killed Murong Ziyi?
"He deserved it!"
Ling Chen coldly said: "Back in Nether City, he made a move against me. Out of respect for you, I spared his life and only took his Purple Profound Sword. Yet, in Soul City, he still used that place’s influence to come after me; he had it coming!"
"You’re no good either! Surely you had a hand behind this affair."
"Nonsense! I, a dignified Commander, need to rely on other forces to deal with you?"
Murong Qingshan rebuked.
"You dare to deal with me?"
Ling Chen sneered and said: "Now that you say it, it’s too late. When Murong Ziyi was still alive, did you dare to confront me? I’m a prodigy who was chosen for the Qing Province’s Heavenly Genius Ranking and protected by the State Governor Mansion!"
"Murong Ziyi was defeated by me and had his superior Emperor Spiritual Weapon taken away. You and Murong Ziyi felt humiliated and resentful. But since Murong Ziyi was no match for me, you could only use other forces."
"Traveling from Netherworld Capital to Qing City, one must pass through Soul City. Therefore, you let Murong Ziyi carry the Nihility Purifying Fire to the number one Alchemy Family of Soul City, the Lan Family, and asked Lan Hongming to take action against me!"
"You thought that although I am powerful, my cultivation wasn’t high. This, exactly, would allow a Divine Thought Master prodigy to intervene. But you did not expect that my Divine Soul is very strong, and not only did I not get killed by Lan Hongming, but I also defeated him."
"In this process, I even annihilated a large power in Soul City—the Zhao Family! And the Commander of Soul City showed no signs of reaction. Hence, Murong Ziyi immediately rushed back."
"Hehe, perhaps you were discussing this matter just before I came in?"
Upon hearing this, a shock went through Murong Qingshan’s heart.
This matter was mostly inferred by Ling Chen.
"Humph! Blatant slander here, do you have any evidence?"
Murong Qingshan coldly said.
No matter what, he had to kill Ling Chen to avenge his son.
Even if he was to be punished by the Lord Governor afterwards, Ling Chen would be dead, and he did not believe the Lord Governor would execute him, would he?
Moreover, his actions were taken for a known cause!
Avenging his son!
Before Ziyi died, he didn’t dare risk dealing with Ling Chen.
But now, with Ziyi dead, he had no more concerns.
"Evidence?"
Ling Chen said with a smile, "My words are evidence! Besides, what proof do you have that I killed Murong Ziyi?"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Murong Qingshan roared with rage.
Ling Chen glanced at Murong Qingshan and sneered: "At the end of the day, it’s just your word. Besides, even if I killed Murong Ziyi, what can you do to me?"
As he spoke, Black Spiritual Power was infused into the Silver Sphere.
Suddenly, a Silver Lotus bloomed.
As soon as the Silver Lotus bloomed, Murong Qingshan felt a heart-palpitating aura.
He had been paying attention to Ling Chen’s right hand all along.
He just never thought this object would be so terrifying!
"You killed my son; now I shall kill you!"
Murong Qingshan said coldly.
The hatred for killing a son, how could it not be avenged?
Such reasoning, even if he killed Ling Chen, he wouldn’t be sentenced to death.
Now, the hope of the Murong Family had fallen.
No matter what, he had to kill Ling Chen to relieve the hatred in his heart!
"Kill me, you think you’re worthy?"
Ling Chen sneered.
With his right hand open, a silver lotus floated up.
"Really?"
Murong Qingshan grimaced ferociously: "Then I’d like to see, on what grounds do you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, the Commander?"
"Heavenly Wolf Devour!"
Murong Qingshan summoned a top-tier Emperor Spiritual Weapon Longsword in his hand, and one hundred and forty-four Sword Qi howled forth.
Then they condensed into a massive three-zhang tall wolf.
"Go!"
Murong Qingshan shouted lowly.
As the sound dropped, the massive three-zhang wolf seemed to spring to life, opening its crimson eyes.
"Howl!"
The giant wolf roared angrily as it pounced towards Ling Chen.
"Is this a top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique?"
Ling Chen’s expression turned stern.
To think spiritual power could condense into a living creature was simply terrifying!
However, Ling Chen was fearless amidst danger.
"Go!"
With a flick of his finger, the suspended silver lotus shot forth explosively towards the front.
The enormous wolf opened its gaping maw and bit down on the silver lotus in one gulp!
"Bang bang bang..."
Explosions rang out one after another, as the body of the giant wolf exploded in dozens of places.
Turning directly into a sky full of Spiritual Energy!
"What?!"
Murong Qingshan’s eyes narrowed sharply.
He knew that the object in Ling Chen’s hands posed a significant threat.
Yet, he did not expect his strongest attack to be so fragile before it, crumbling at a single touch!
"Hmph!"
Murong Qingshan snorted coldly, swinging the longsword in his hand, once again unleashing the top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique Heavenly Wolf Devour!
Another giant wolf materialized, rushing towards Ling Chen.
However, the silver lotus once again appeared, directly entering the wolf’s mouth.
"Bang bang bang..."
The giant wolf once again disintegrated into endless Spiritual Energy.
"What?!"
This time, Murong Qingshan’s face was filled with shock.
His two peak-level attacks actually could not even affect this silver lotus?
Just then, the silver lotus re-emerged unscathed.
It seemed as if the top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique cast by an eight-star emperor was child’s play.
Watching the silver lotus shoot towards him, Murong Qingshan quickly activated his movement technique to dodge into the distance.
Clearly, the object was not something he could deal with by brute force.
"Hehe!"
Ling Chen’s voice sounded: "The belongings of Heavenly Sect in Central Province, do you think you can avoid them just with your petty movement technique?"
As his voice fell, the silver lotus suddenly accelerated, cutting an acute ninety-degree arc, chasing after Murong Qingshan.
The giant wolf that Murong Qingshan had condensed using the top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique seemed like a living thing but it wasn’t.
On the other hand, this silver lotus actually possessed intelligence.
"What on earth is this thing?"
Murong Qingshan was inwardly horrified.
It was too terrifying; this object could actually chase after him?
Moreover, since even the top-tier Emperor Spirit Technique couldn’t withstand it, his body naturally couldn’t either!
Immediately, he desperately stimulated his Spiritual Power, activating his movement technique to dodge into the distance.
However, no matter how he dodged, the silver lotus followed close like an unavoidable plague, and the distance between them grew closer and closer!
