CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 667: QUICKLY RETREAT

Watching Ling Chen’s earnest appearance, Huang Qi couldn’t help but panic in his heart.

"I’ll be waiting for you!"

Ling Chen crossed his arms and smiled faintly, his face calm.

"Hmph!"

Huang Qi snorted coldly.

Ling Chen was merely a King at the Palace Mansion Realm; such opponents, no matter how many, would not scare him.

He was a true dual-layered King of the World Realm!

Ten Elders at the late ninth stage of the Palace Mansion Realm flew over, standing between Huang Qi and Ling Chen, eyeing Ling Chen warily.

Should Ling Chen make any sudden moves, they would strike him down like a fierce storm!

Huang Qi rapidly backed away for dozens of feet.

He pulled out a Jade Token, a device for ultra-long-distance communication, which was extremely rare.

There were only four such tokens in the entire Divine Saber Sect.

"Sect Leader, how is everything on your end?"

Huang Qi asked.

"As before, no progress. Guardian Huang, is there something you need?"

The voice of Wang Hao, the Divine Saber Sect Master, came from the Jade Token.

"It’s good that there’s nothing wrong."

Huang Qi sighed with relief and said, "A disciple from the Burning Flame Sect has arrived here claiming that the Burning Flame Sect has secretly allied with the Undying Star Pavilion to annihilate the Eight Great Sects. I’m not sure about the truth of this matter, but Sect Leader, please be cautious!"

"What?!"

Wang Hao was shocked.

The Undying Star Pavilion was the second largest sect in the Eastern Domain.

The number one sect, the Burning Flame Sect, had allied with the Eight Sects, marshaling nearly forty Kings and a thousand Kings to attack the Undying Star Pavilion, yet after four to five months, there was no progress.

He had already begun to doubt the situation.

Recently, Liu Xiao even claimed that the Undying Star Pavilion had a treasure capable of cultivating Kings to attract them.

Huang Qi’s words suddenly woke him up.

If this was true, then the Burning Flame Sect’s plan was to wipe them all out in one go!

However, one thing puzzled him; they had been concentrated here for a while already.

Why hadn’t Ye Tianjun and Liu Xiao made any moves until now?

Considering the Spiritual Energy consumption required to maintain the Sect Protection Array’s power was astronomically high.

"I’ll be cautious. How are things within the sect?"

Wang Hao asked.

Huang Qi confidently said, "Don’t worry, Sect Leader. Just a mere King at the early ninth stage of the Palace Mansion Realm, I can easily handle him!"

"Alright, good. Since the real enemy of the Burning Flame Sect hasn’t arrived yet, hurry up and activate the Sect Protection Array. Don’t worry about the Spiritual Energy consumption!"

Wang Hao instructed.

"Understood."

Huang Qi responded.

"Swoosh!"

Huang Qi flew over and coldly said, "Kid, looks like you are disappointed. Our Divine Saber Sect Master is perfectly fine!"

"Is that so?"

Ling Chen frowned and said, "We were supposed to act together!"

"Enough, kid. Stop pretending! Even if you are a disciple from the Burning Flame Sect, so what?"

Huang Qi coldly said, "Since you’ve trespassed into our Divine Saber Sect, we must capture you first! Then, I’d like to see just who you really are!"

He was unsure of Ling Chen’s identity now.

Although dressed in the Burning Flame Sect’s disciple robe, it could also be an Undying Star Pavilion disciple impersonating to sow discord between the Burning Flame Sect and the Divine Saber Sect.

Contacting the Sect Leader earlier was to ensure the safety of the Sect Leader and also based on the principle of ’better safe than sorry.’

Since the Sect Leader was unharmed, it was now time to deal with this person.

"Guardian Huang, leave this person to me!"

An Elder at the late ninth stage volunteered.

"Good!"

Huang Qi nodded and said, "Elder Li, be mindful and spare his life."

He needed to extract some information from Ling Chen’s mouth, so naturally, he couldn’t just kill him off.

"No problem!"

Elder Li nodded emphatically, his fighting spirit soaring to the skies.

Other cultivators of the Divine Saber Sect retreated, clearing space for the two to fight.

"Arrogant fool, just a mere early-stage King of the Palace Mansion Realm, and you dare come cause trouble at our Divine Saber Sect. Who gave you the guts?"

Elder Li bellowed coldly.

"Boom!"

His body trembled, a powerful aura erupted upwards.

A flash of light in his hand, a black long knife materialized out of thin air.

Spiritual Power infused into it, a vast Sword Energy tore through the skies, furiously slashing towards Ling Chen.

Seeing the fierce Sword Energy shooting towards him, Ling Chen didn’t even use his Spiritual Weapon and just stood there as if waiting for the Sword Energy’s arrival.

"Scared silly?"

"Really? So easily defeated?"

"Heh, what a waste, can’t even catch a single strike from Elder Li?"

"Is this really a genius disciple from the Burning Flame Sect? I think he’s far worse than our disciples from the Divine Saber Sect!"

"Yes! Where did this kid get the courage to run wild in our Divine Saber Sect?"

...

Many Cultivators were discussing heatedly.

By now, many Cultivators from the Divine Saber Sect had gathered here.

Only half of the Divine Saber Sect Cultivators went to attack the Star Pavilion.

The other half stayed behind to guard the Sect.

"Ah, I knew there was no need to use the top-grade King Spiritual Weapon!"

Elder Li sighed.

Huang Guardian even instructed to spare Ling Chen a dog’s life, but now it’s messed up. Hopefully, this kid won’t be killed by my own sword!

Just when the Sword Qi was only thirty feet away from Ling Chen, Ling Chen finally moved.

His body suddenly lit up slightly.

This was due to activating the Undying Star body.

"Small Movement Step!"

Ling Chen let out a low shout in his heart, directly executing the top-grade Body Technique King Spirit Technique.

With the enhancement of the Undying Star body and the top-grade Body Technique King Spirit Technique, Ling Chen’s speed reached an astonishing level!

Even compared to a one-star King, he would not be at a disadvantage!

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen moved, brushing past the giant Sword Energy, then his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Be careful!"

A change came over the expression of Huang Qi Guardian in the distance.

Ling Chen’s speed had truly reached the level of a King.

It was simply beyond what Elder Li could contend with!

As the voice fell.

Ling Chen’s figure appeared right in front of Elder Li and then a punch enveloped in Black Spiritual Power hammered towards Elder Li’s chest!

"What?!"

Elder Li was greatly shocked.

He frantically stimulated his Spiritual Power, forming Protective Spiritual Power!

"Bang!"

However, with a dull thud, Ling Chen’s fist directly broke through the hastily formed Protective Spiritual Power, then it pierced through Elder Li, emerging from his back.

"How is this possible?"

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Elder Li’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Finally, his head tilted, and the breath of life faded.

"Boom!"

Spiritual Power exploded violently, directly blasting Elder Li into pieces.

"Waste!"

Ling Chen smiled indifferently, standing in the air.

At this moment, almost everyone was stunned.

Their mouths agape tremendously, eyes bulging out like goldfish, and the mocking smiles frozen on their faces.

The scene was utterly silent!

Elder Li, a prominent figure of the ninth level of the Palace Mansion Realm, couldn’t even catch a single punch from this person?

What kind of strength did this person possess?

Even Huang Qi Guardian was shocked.

Although Ling Chen’s speed was fast, wasn’t it too much that a single punch killed Elder Li?

Truly worthy of a two-star King, Huang Qi Guardian was the first to react.

"Retreat! This man is not someone you can fight against!"

Huang Qi shouted loudly.

His voice, propelled by Spiritual Power, instantly awakened everyone.

People hastily retreated towards the distance.

Even the nearest ones were thousands of feet away.

Ling Chen’s speed was too fast, being close felt completely unsafe!

Meanwhile, Huang Qi flew towards Ling Chen, his eyes intently fixed on him.
