CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 410 ELDER BEIMING_1

"By the power of enchantments, I command you! By the Power of Filth, I grant you life! Explode!"

Zuo Daoist, a Master of the Sixth Realm warrior, possessed strength significantly surpassing the other two. He abruptly produced four talismans and flung them out with lightning speed. The talismans exploded around Ling Chen, and in the next moment, four figures materialized within the blast zone.

These four figures were mud-men, formed from earth. They looked almost identical to ordinary humans, save for their cracked bodies, which were devoid of any sign of life.

"Kill!" Black Demon General and Dong Xiang roared fiercely, charging toward Ling Chen.

As the three of them erupted, countless streams of True Qi surged up and down, forming a vast force field that assaulted Ling Chen. Instantly, the pressure on him increased a hundredfold.

CRACK! CRACK!

The blood-red Barrier sustained by the Divine Dragon Jade shattered piece by piece.

The force field unleashed by the three enveloped Ling Chen, swiftly shrinking his movable space to within a five-meter radius.

Simultaneously, the four stone talisman puppets swung their fists, smashing down on Ling Chen.

This Barrier was condensed from Ling Chen’s True Qi. Faced with the combined onslaught of two Fifth Level Grandmasters and one Master of the Sixth Realm, it was understandable that it couldn’t hold.

Despite the frenzied siege from the three, Ling Chen was not panicked; instead, his mind became remarkably clear.

Ling Chen contracted his entire Sword Momentum as much as possible. His Sword Heart connected with heaven and earth. A brilliant Sword Radiance manifested on his Thunder Shadow Sword, sparkling with Thunder Light that condensed into a mass. In that instant, thunderbolts enveloped the entire blade as he vibrated it in mid-air.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Thunder patterns spread densely across the force field, emitting intense vibrational sounds.

"Soaring Dragon Transcends the Ocean!"

Sword in hand, Ling Chen spun at high speed, transforming into a Giant Dragon that soared upwards, fiercely boring into the force field above!

POP!

In the span of just two breaths, the force field was breached. Ling Chen had directly punched a large hole through it.

Ling Chen himself shot out from the hole in the force field. Behind him, the force field completely exploded. The three of them—Zuo Daoist, Black Demon General, and Dong Xiang—hotly pursued him.

"You can’t kill me," Ling Chen stated calmly, his body emanating a potent Sword Intent. "Even if more of you came, you still couldn’t kill me. Stop wasting your energy. Lady Ming, it’s not too late. Join forces with me to kill Zuo Daoist and Black Demon General. You can still redeem yourself."

At these words, Lady Ming’s expression shifted. After a moment of intense internal conflict reflected on her face, she let out a cold laugh. "Such a primitive attempt to sow discord. Since my identity is already exposed, how could the Saintess spare a traitor like me?"

"Not necessarily," Ling Chen said serenely. "I am the Saintess’s son. She might not listen to others, but she will definitely listen to me. As long as I plead with the Saintess for you, you will surely be pardoned."

Moved by Ling Chen’s words, Lady Ming began to hesitate, clearly affected by his statement.

"Lady Ming! Don’t let this brat fool you with just a few words!" Zuo Daoist, seeing this, immediately shouted sternly. If Lady Ming were to defect at this critical juncture, it would be disastrous.

"Don’t worry, I’m not so easily swayed," Lady Ming replied coldly after a moment’s hesitation, her expression returning to normal.

"You brat, daring to play tricks in front of us," Black Demon General said, glaring daggers at Ling Chen. "You think you still have a chance? Don’t delude yourself. You can’t escape. We’ve laid down an inescapable net (Heaven’s Net). You have no escape route whether by sky or by land."

"That last sword strike must have been your limit. From now on, you won’t get another chance!"

The three once again channeled their True Qi, their auras surging wildly.

Ling Chen remained silent, his gaze shifting towards a distant mountain peak.

"You’re still in the mood to admire the scenery at a time like this?" Black Demon General grumbled harshly.

COUGH!

Just then, from the mid-air Ling Chen was observing, a cough suddenly sounded. The cough was soft, almost inaudible, yet it struck one’s ears like a clap of thunder.

Such a profound Realm!

Everyone, Ling Chen included, was startled by this soft cough. In their line of sight, a black dot appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching. It was a small, thin, grey-robed old man standing atop a colossal, bird-like Exotic Beast, now hundreds of meters away.

This old man coughed for a few moments before his breathing evened out. His gaze swept over the area, first landing on Ling Chen, to whom he nodded slightly. Then, he bowed deeply and said, "Young Master, this old servant has arrived late, allowing these treacherous individuals to corner you. Thankfully, you are unharmed. Otherwise, this old servant would find it difficult to answer to the Saintess."

"It’s you!"

Lady Ming, Zuo Daoist, and Black Demon General all stared, their eyes wide with shock at the sight of the old man on the back of the bird-like Exotic Beast. It took them several breaths to recover. "Elder Beiming! How did you get here?!"

Their bodies trembled slightly, betraying an immense fear of this Elder Beiming.

"Young Master Ling Chen, this old servant serves the Saintess. With me here, you can rest assured," Elder Beiming said. He exuded a terrifying aura, an aura that only a Top Sky Apex Strong could possess.

"I can’t tell for sure. That woman earlier said the same, yet she ended up betraying me," Ling Chen said indifferently, gesturing towards Lady Ming.

"This matter is this old servant’s dereliction of duty. Young Master, please wait a moment. Allow this old servant to handle this."

Elder Beiming bowed to Ling Chen with cupped fists, then turned to face Lady Ming. "Lady Ming, you falsely relayed the Saintess’s orders and acted against the Young Master. This is a capital offense." Elder Beiming’s voice sounded weak, yet it contained an astonishing intimidation that swept across the entire mountain peak.

"Run!"

Hearing Elder Beiming’s words, Lady Ming’s expression changed drastically. With a sudden shout, she vanished, attempting to flee.

Zuo Daoist and the Black Demon General also turned and fled, scattering in different directions.

"Flee? You three think you can escape from my grasp?" Elder Beiming said, still in his unhurried tone. His dry, slender hand reached out and grasped at the air.

"Fish of Bei Ming!"

HUMMM!

The Spiritual Qi of the entire world suddenly condensed, as if he had grasped a vast expanse of the sky in his palm. Boundless True Qi flowed from his palm, and before him, in mid-air, a colossal, cyan energy giant fish abruptly materialized!

The belly of the energy giant fish was a full twenty zhang long and wide. It hovered in mid-air, madly absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the surroundings. Its presence was terrifyingly imposing!

This was a peerless technique, comparable to plucking stars and seizing the moon!

Impressive! A look of admiration appeared in Ling Chen’s eyes.

Such a powerful Top Sky Apex Strong actually claimed to be his mother’s servant.

AH!

Three miserable screams rang out. Before the massive fish, Dong Xiang, Zuo Daoist, and the Black Demon General were utterly powerless, like duckweed adrift on water, tossed about by the waves.
