Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

They simultaneously looked at the dried corpses of the two great elders on the ground, then they focused their gaze onto the ground while enhancing their eyesights with their true qi energy and that"s when the saw the numerous dark tree roots coiling underground like spirit snakes.

Looking at that scene, they felt their entire bodies become slowly drenched in a cold sweat.

They were so focused on capturing Ling Chen and get his devouring battle technique that they didn"t notice the endless dark tree roots that were moving underground like a poisonous snake that hid in the darkness.

Almost all the inner sect region that was transformed into a wasteland by the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d was infested by these dark tree roots. Some of them were in the mud and some underneath the dead gra.s.s. They were like dark spirit snakes and were impossible to notice unless one looked closely.

The sect master was s.h.i.+vering since even he could have died under the sneak attack of the dark tree roots without knowing how he died.

The sect master including the elders that were in a daze finally calmed down and exclaimed in shock by Ling Chen"s mean.

He had transformed more than half of the inner section into a landmine with these dark tree roots. They also could feel that the dark tree roots were slowly spreading into the rest of the inner sect region and weren"t that far away from the Inner Sect Elders" Hall where all the inner sect disciples were currently staying.

Just thinking back about the fate of the two great elders, they"ve already figured out what Ling Chen was planning.

At this moment, they finally realized what kind of opponent they were facing. This little b.a.s.t.a.r.d wasn"t a child, he was simply the devil incarnate.

His style of doing things left the great elders with cold chills. They suddenly realized that this child was not just powerful, he was an even more terrifying existence, an untethered cruel prehistoric beast from the ancient ages!

In sky.

"Boy, it seems like this old man has underestimated your power as well as your cruelty." Said Jian Lei as he was looking at Ling Chen who stood above the cloud like a Demon G.o.d with a serious expression.

Not only the sect master but all of the remaining great elders were also thinking the same thing. Especially elder Zhuo, he was astounded by Ling Chen"s sudden increase of strength.

Not even two weeks have gone by since he battled and dominated Ling Chen, and now his strength has increased so much that he didn"t have the confidence to face him one on one.

"It"s just a week since we met last time, how could he have increased his strength like this"

At this moment, Elder Zhuo began to grasp just how heaven-defying Ling Chen"s devouring ability was and the greed in his eyes had skyrocketed just by thinking about it.

He was determined to get that devouring ability no matter the cost.

"You haven"t seen anything yet an old man. Not only I will devourer all of you, but I also will devourer every single one of your sect"s disciples after I"m done with you." Answered Ling Chen with a demonic smile on his face.

At this moment, Ling Chen didn"t seem like his usual self. Right now, he looked like a bloodthirsty demon who wanted nothing more but to dye the entire world red with blood.

It was the effect of the devouring ability, the more he killed and absorbed someone"s life essence, the more addicted he became to it. Not only that, but his personality also changed when he used his dark power as well as the devouring ability. He became colder and more ruthless and thought of his enemies as nothing more than nutrients to increase his strength.

Meanwhile, after Ling Chen and Jian Lei exchanged these words, the entire sky above the inner sect region instantly fell into silence, perfect silence. The gazes of the great elders were locked onto Ling Chen, but none of them dared to make a move.

Swoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, Jian Lei"s gaze was like a bolt of lightning as it swept towards the great elders before it finally landed Ling Chen again. Even though he hadn"t spoken yet, the soundless pressure caused all the elders to be unable to avoid arousing a trace of nervousness

Amidst an expanse of silence, Jian Lei said in a solemn voice." You guys don"t have to partic.i.p.ate in the battle anymore, I"ll take care of the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d myself."

His voice was very clear but the facial expressions of the great elders made it seemed like they didn"t hear what he said clearly.

They couldn"t believe the sect master wanted to face this little demon alone.

Jian Lei"s demand caused all the great elders present to be shocked in their hearts yet no one dared make a clamor. Though they didn"t know why the sect master wanted to face the little demon alone instead of ganging upon him, they all respected his decisions and believed he had a good reason to do so.

And they were right, Jian Lei indeed had a good reason to face Ling Chen alone. He had already realized that engaging Ling Chen into a melee fight would be the stupidest thing they could have ever done because of his demonic ability.

With Ling Chen"s cunningness, he would have started killing the weakest of the great elders and absorbed their blood and life essence until his strength reached an even more terrifying level.

At that time, not to mention him, even the ancestor wouldn"t stand a chance against him. As such, he decided to face him alone. He didn"t want to give Ling Chen any chance to increase his strength anymore.

" It seems like you aren"t as stupid as you look, old man." Even Ling Chen praised Jian Lei"s smart decision to face him alone. However, within his words, there was a heavy mocking and provocative tone.

" Let"s see what you got then."

After Ling Chen said that, he made a hand gesture and the ma.s.sive beast head suddenly pounced towards Jian Lei with its colossus mouth wide open.

It was as though it was trying to swallow Jian Lei whole. The ma.s.sive beast head"s mouth was so wide that one could even fit one or two small mountains in there. It was like a giant black hole capable of swallowing the heaven itself.

Looking at the ma.s.sive beast head made of dark True Qi energy that was flying towards him at a lightning speed in an attempt to swallow him, Jian Lei just didn"t look panic but stood there as if nothing happened, not making a single move. He didn"t even try to dodge it or unsheathed the sword that was still sheathed in its sheath to defend himself.

Not to mention the elders, Even Ling Chen was surprised by Jian Lei"s action.

"Was this old man a suicidal maniac?"

However, as the ma.s.sive head was getting closer to him, Jian Lei gently touched the handle of his sword.

And it was also at this instant—

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Three streaks of sword light lashed out. Each one was extremely dazzling and held incredible destructive power.

However, before the three streaks of sword light made contact with the incoming ma.s.sive beast head, they suddenly merged into one as if they were one, to begin with.

The integrated sword light got more and more dazzling and was flying towards the ma.s.sive dark beast head in a much fiercer state.

At the same time, the integrated sword light seemed to have the power to sever s.p.a.ce itself and suppressed the entire heaven with enough force to slay the G.o.ds.

Peerless - this word alone perfectly described Jian Lei"s sword slash.

Shua!

The sword light landed on the ma.s.sive beast head and piercing through it. Not only it hacked the giant beast head made of dark True Qi energy into two halves, like a whale sucking water. It completely dispersed the gigantic beast head as well.

And that wasn"t all, though the power of the integrated sword light had weakened after destroying the giant beast head, it continued to charge towards Ling Chen.

"This..." A trace of a shock could be detected in Ling Chen"s gaze as he was looking at this unbelievable scene.

Too fast!

Not only that, but Ling Chen could also clearly tell that this lightning sword attack wasn"t a battle technique. It was just a simple attack. However, the intricacies and profoundness of the Sword Dao contained within that strike wasn"t something that he could understand as he wasn"t a true warrior or a swordsman.

Swoos.h.!.+

Without any hesitation, Ling Chen quickly flew upward like a giant eagle and propped himself up as he dodged the incoming streak of sword light attack that was already weakened.

"Tch! Tch! It seems this old man is getting rusty. I can"t even slay a little brat with three sword slashes." Jian Lei said in a deep tone as he looked at Ling Chen in the sky after he had avoided his weakened attack with a regretful look on his face.

Jian Lei was known as Lightning Sword Venerable not because he had awakened a lightning domain but because of his peerless and quick draw.

In terms of speed, no one could compare to him. It"s said that his quick draw will slit the throat his enemies before they knew what"s going on. His quick draw was impeccable and was also the greatest throughout the entire Heaven Desolate Region.
