"Xiao Qing, you serve as Ling Chen’s protector."
Shen Xing said, before flying out of the inn.
"You old geezer, seems like the lesson Ling Chen gave you last time wasn’t enough!"
Shen Xing smiled faintly.
The elder sneered: "What, you want to fight me?"
Shen Xing nodded, his eyes revealing a touch of fighting spirit.
The elder laughed out of anger: "Kid, I want to see what abilities you have to dare to make a move against me?"
Shen Xing immediately activated his Divine Body and marshaled all his Spiritual Power.
"World Realm level four?"
The nineteen emperors’ eyes suddenly widened in shock.
This kid, he’s so young, about the same age as Ling Chen, and he is actually a World Realm level four emperor?
Shen Xing’s figure moved and instantly appeared in front of Elder Qingyun Sword Sect, then threw a punch.
The elder also threw a punch back.
The two fists collided, and the elder’s right arm immediately shattered.
Afterward, Shen Xing’s fist pierced directly through the elder’s chest.
Had he not held back, that one punch would have been enough to take the elder’s life.
Having injured the elder with a single strike, Shen Xing then said coldly: "I told you to wait here, so wait obediently! If you don’t care about the lives of your talented, you’re free to leave!"
Having said that, Shen Xing departed.
Leaving behind eighteen emperors with stunned faces!
"Another elite-level prodigy?"
Among the eighteen, three young talents revealed a hint of eagerness to fight.
Two men and one woman.
These three were the only ones in the Central Domain who possessed the elite token.
One of them, a young man who bore some resemblance to Qin Wutian, was indeed the top talent of Qingyun Sword Sect, Qin Wufa.
His cultivation was the highest, at the late stage of World Realm level four!
And the world within him was a complete world!
The other two were at the mid-stage of World Realm level four!
They too possessed complete worlds!
This was the true strength of an elite-level talent!
Meanwhile, the eight Protectors were even more dumbfounded.
They originally thought that, with Ling Chen emerging as a prodigy from the Eastern Domain Star Pavilion, it was already incredibly impressive.
But unexpectedly, there was also a Shen Xing.
Moreover, this person was undoubtedly a prodigy with an extremely strong physique!
Defeating a five-star emperor with one punch, just World Realm level four Spiritual Power alone couldn’t achieve that!
"Elder Xu, you heal your injuries first, we’ll just wait here!"
Qin Wufa said with a smile.
His curiosity about Ling Chen and his party was growing.
Born in the Eastern Domain, but with such audacity, it completely overturned his impression of the Eastern Domain.
Elder Xu quickly responded.
Although there was still a six-star emperor present, among the three from Qingyun Sword Sect, Qin Wufa still took the lead.
Xiao Qing, seeing Shen Xing return, asked, "Did you take care of that guy who was shouting at my boss?"
Now, his Divine Body had advanced further, his physical body alone was comparable to a four-star emperor.
Coupled with Spiritual Power on par with a four-star emperor, dealing with a five-star emperor was still an easy feat!
"Well taught! Hmph! Let’s see if he dares to disrespect my boss again!"
Xiao Qing viciously bit into a bright, fragrant fruit.
It had made a deal with Ling Chen.
From the extortion of top-grade Spirit Crystals from the ten great sects, Ling Chen was to set aside two hundred thousand especially for buying Immortal Grass Spiritual Fruits for it.
Ling Chen was still immersed in comprehending the Sword Dao.
Even with the aid of the Harmonization Fruit, fusing the six layers of Sword Intent into the Sword Dao wasn’t something that could be done in a short time.
Of course, during the initial period of using the Harmonization Fruit, the effects were the best.
Therefore, Ling Chen was reluctant to consume it.
Ling Chen integrated the Splitting Realm into his Sword Intent.
Now, he had fused four out of the six layers of Sword Intent.
He was getting closer and closer to achieving mastery in the Sword Dao!
However, as more layers of Sword Intent were integrated, the difficulty also increased significantly.
The fifth layer, the Shattering Realm, took a full seven days to integrate.
As for the final Permeation Realm, it took twenty days.
Ling Chen’s eyes opened, and a sharp aura surged to the nine heavens, as if he had transformed into a divine sword.
The ten great sect’s royal heirs who had been waiting outside for a long time showed a slight change of expression.
That aura was too eerie, causing an inexplicable palpitation.
"Is this the Sword Dao?"
Ling Chen smiled faintly, and the aura instantly retracted before entering his body.
Shen Xing pushed the door open, cupped his fist towards Ling Chen, and said, "Young Master Ling, congratulations!"
As a genius from a major power in Zhongzhou, he naturally sensed that this was the aura of having achieved the Sword Dao.
Ling Chen laughed proudly.
"Those people have arrived."
"Good!" Google seaʀᴄh novel•fire.net
Ling Chen nodded his head, and then his figure moved, flying towards the outside of the inn.
Looking at the nineteen figures in the sky, there was not a hint of surprise on Ling Chen’s face.
He had sensed them coming long ago.
Moreover, the highest among these people was only at the sixth layer of the World Realm.
Perhaps, before he had achieved the Sword Dao, he might have been wary of them.
But now that he had mastered the Sword Dao, such figures at this level were no longer something to fear!
"Have you brought the Spirit Stones?"
Ling Chen looked at the crowd and said with a faint smile.
The eight Protectors quickly said, "We have brought them."
Saying this, they threw the storage rings flickering into existence towards Ling Chen.
Ling Chen caught them, examining the eight storage rings one by one.
After confirming that the number of Spirit Crystals was correct, Ling Chen smiled and then transferred Qin Wutian and the other seven people out from his inner world.
At this point, all eight of them had already recovered from their injuries.
Of course, Ling Chen had also sealed their cultivations again.
In his own inner world, he was invincible.
Therefore, these people couldn’t possibly make any waves.
But outside, in order to prevent them from escaping, Ling Chen had to seal their cultivations.
"Check the condition of the prodigious disciples from each sect; they have all recovered from their injuries. Rest assured, once I leave the Central Domain, I will restore their freedom!"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Although he was unconscious when Ling Chen slapped him, he naturally realized the humiliation he had suffered after waking up.
Therefore, he held extreme resentment towards Ling Chen.
Seeing Qin Wufa come in person, he, of course, sought help immediately.
"Young Master Qin, calm down, rest assured. I’ve received your compensation. As long as you behave, I won’t lay a hand on you!"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Saying so, he was ready to put away the eight people.
Seeing his brother’s pitiful state, Qin Wufa felt a pang in his heart and quickly spoke up.
Ling Chen asked indifferently.
From their appearances, it was clear that this man should be Qin Wutian’s brother, Qin Wufa.
"Could you release my brother?"
Qin Wufa hurriedly explained: "Rest assured, in the Central Domain, the older generation cannot interfere with the younger generation’s matters. Please release Wutian, we guarantee with the honor of the ten great sects that we absolutely won’t make a move against you!"
"Yes, Young Master Ling, please let them go! We promise not to lay a hand on you!"
The other sect cultivators also echoed.
Having their sect’s disciples captured and held as hostages was truly a humiliation!
Ling Chen looked at Qin Wufa and shook his head: "Sorry, I can’t trust you."
Letting these talented disciples go, who knew if these sects would keep their word?
Ling Chen was not some naive youngster stepping into the world for the first time!
