Chapter 1390 - 1389: The Sword Cuts Down the Ghost God

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1389: The Sword Cuts Down the Ghost God

Ito Zhai never expected that Ling Chen would not be killed by his forbidden technique but instead perfectly dodged the attack and appeared above him without any sign, without him detecting a thing!

"Slash!"

Ling Chen, having gathered his strength for a long time, had his Thunder Sound Sword in hand, its Sword Intent enhancing it to a length of a hundred zhang. This sword strike was an extraordinary one, an unparalleled one.

Whoosh!

The very space seemed to be split open, creating a massive rift. Ling Chen struck downward from above, amid shocked gazes, and fiercely slashed at the body of the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Ito Zhai watched helplessly as Ling Chen’s Sword Light fell from the sky, piercing through the body of the Hundred-Eyed Demon, unstoppable from head to tail.

Under one sword strike, the body of the Hundred-Eyed Demon was forcibly sliced into two, crumbling open from the center, all its eyeballs collapsing, dissipating along with the clusters of black mist.

Splat!

Ito Zhai suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale as paper, while the Hundred-Eyed Demon behind him also disappeared completely, slain by Ling Chen!

Gulp!

A member of the Fengjian Clan couldn’t help but swallow, their anger reaching an intolerable level, unable to believe even Ito Zhai wasn’t a match for Ling Chen. Even the Hundred-Eyed Demon summoned by the other side was slain by Ling Chen, devastatingly brutal.

This slash might have greatly affected even the true form of the Hundred-Eyed Demon far away at the Mountain Qiu Shrine, significantly diminishing its power.

"This person defies the heavens..."

A Fengjian Clan expert was shocked, Ling Chen began by challenging the Fengjian Clan, defeating "Kagawa Sword Saint" Fengjian Hongyi, and then slashed the Hundred-Eyed Demon, defeating Ito Zhai. If such achievements spread, it might cause a monstrous wave outside.

When slaying the Hundred-Eyed Demon, Ling Chen’s brow flashed constantly, Sword Intent erupted, piercing a large hole in the sky. He also felt his Vital Energy had broken through, reaching a higher level. During the slaying of the Hundred-Eyed Demon, its powerful spiritual power seemed to merge into his Sword Intent, significantly enhancing it!

Previously, Ling Chen’s Sword Intent was only at the Saint-class Initial Stage, but after slaying the Hundred-Eyed Demon driven by Ito Zhai, Ling Chen’s Sword Intent quickly approached the Saint-class Intermediate Stage!

Although both are Saint-level Sword Intents, the intensity and grandeur were apparently at a whole new level.

"Unexpectedly, slaying a Ghost God can boost one’s Sword Intent so significantly."

Ling Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Ghost Gods lack physical bodies, relying on their strong spiritual power to exist as spiritual entities. Their bodies are extremely fragile, but their spiritual power is several times, even tens of times stronger than that of an ordinary Saint. Slaying a Ghost God avatar can grant you its spiritual power essence, naturally improving your Sword Intent."

Beside him, Hong Ye explained.

Initially, she couldn’t possibly tell Ling Chen about this since it’s a secret of the Ghost Gods, but after the battle just now, she had been won over by Ling Chen’s charisma, especially when she fell into fear and was pulled back from the abyss of fear by him. She developed a strong sense of gratitude and dependency toward Ling Chen, impulsive enough to do anything for him.

Now, even if Ling Chen wanted her, she wouldn’t resist but would serve diligently.

"I see."

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly lit up. So slaying a Ghost God from Yingzhou had such benefits. A mere Ghost God avatar had such a significant amplifying effect. If he slew the true form of a Ghost God, wouldn’t he soar into the sky?

Thinking like this, Ling Chen felt restless, eager to go to the Mountain Qiu Shrine immediately, slay the Hundred-Eyed Demon, and absorb its spiritual power essence.

"Master, don’t be rash. The strength of the Hundred-Eyed Demon is at least comparable to a human strong at the Saint Dao Sixfold Realm. Even though it lost an avatar, in the Mountain Qiu Shrine, with the Barrier of the Shrine, even a Seventh Realm High-level Saint might not be able to handle it." Hong Ye seemed to notice Ling Chen’s eagerness and reminded him.

"Haha, I was just saying."

Ling Chen let out a dry laugh, jokingly. These shrines can stand tall on the Yingzhou Continent for thousands of years without falling for a reason. Each Ghost God is extremely powerful; if they were so easy to slay, someone else would have done so already, not leaving it to him.

Ling Chen’s expression slightly hardened, looking toward the nearby Hong Ye, "But now that I’ve slain an avatar of the Hundred-Eyed Demon, will the true form come out to seek trouble with me?"

"Rest assured; generally, a Ghost God’s true form won’t easily leave the shrine’s range,"

Hong Ye shook her head, "First, without the shrine’s Barrier, Ghost Gods’ strengths would drastically weaken, losing any advantage over strong humans, instead easily becoming the prey of top experts. Second, Ghost Gods can’t leave the shrine for too long, relying on the shrine’s offerings. If they spend too much time outside, their power will weaken over time."

Hearing this, Ling Chen also felt at ease. It seems this kind of Ghost God has quite a few weaknesses and won’t easily leave the shrine. Otherwise, Ghost Gods wouldn’t need people like Onmyoji or Shrine Maidens to exert power for them.

If the true form of the Hundred-Eyed Demon came out to hunt him, it would be quite dangerous. It seems that just for an avatar, the other side likely wouldn’t take such a large risk to leave the shrine to deal with him.

There are definitely many who covet the Ghost Gods like the Hundred-Eyed Demon. Which swordsman wouldn’t want to improve their Sword Intent by slaying a Ghost God and seizing its spiritual power essence? Succeeding could save decades of hard effort.

Needless to mention, some people’s Sword Intent stagnates for a lifetime, hard to improve.

Ling Chen sheathed his sword, then looked at Hong Ye, "Let’s go, there’s nothing worth staying here for."

Hong Ye nodded, immediately following Ling Chen as they walked out of the courtyard.

"Wait a moment."

Fengjian Hongyi looked at Ling Chen’s back, speaking with difficulty, "Your Excellency, who are you really? At least let me, Fengjian Hongyi, lose with understanding."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen merely slightly curled the corner of his mouth, continuing to stride forward, while Hong Ye behind him suddenly turned around.

"Fengjian Hongyi, listen well."

Hong Ye’s voice spread, and whether it was Fengjian Hongyi, Ito Zhai, or all the members of the Fengjian Clan, they all perked up their ears.

"Ling Chen, my master’s name is Ling Chen."

After that, Hong Ye immediately turned around to follow Ling Chen’s footsteps.

"What, he is Sword King Ling Chen?!"

Fengjian Hongyi was first stunned, then a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face, an uproar instantly sweeping through the crowd of the Fengjian Clan!

Ling Chen has arrived in Yingzhou!

This news will surely spread across the entire Yingzhou Continent within a matter of days!
