Within this sword strike, Ling Chen had infused both the Sword Dao and the Green Lotus Bloodline.
The difference in strength between him and Wang Gongfeng was merely a single level of World Power.
With the Sword Dao, Ling Chen could easily make up for the gap.
Furthermore, with the Green Lotus Bloodline, it was within Ling Chen’s expectation to kill Wang Gongfeng.
Had Wang Gongfeng mastered a superior Emperor Spirit Technique, Ling Chen might have had to exert more effort.
How could a mere mid-grade Emperor Spirit Technique compete with him?
At this moment, all Cultivators’ eyes widened in shock.
They knew Ling Chen was formidable, but they never imagined that Ling Chen could slay a Seven-Star Emperor with a single sword stroke!
"How is this possible?!"
Zhao Qing’s eyes were filled with horror, with saliva rolling in his throat and his body shivering uncontrollably.
Their Zhao Family’s support, a Seven-Star Emperor in the late stage, was actually killed by Ling Chen with a single sword strike?
For Elixir Medicine Families, most of its members are Divine Thought Masters.
Therefore, their ability to protect the family is limited.
Because at the Seven-Star Emperor level, even late-stage Emperor Realm cultivators would be no match.
Thus, Elixir Medicine Families usually recruit Spiritual Power Practitioners to guard the family.
Wang Gongfeng was one of the two great protectors of the Zhao Family.
The other protector, Li Gongfeng, had a strength not much different from Wang Gongfeng’s.
And now, Ling Chen had slain Wang Gongfeng with a single sword strike.
The Zhao Family had no power to fight back at all.
Eight-Star Emperors were generally only possessed by the Dutong Mansion and major families like the Lan Family.
"Quickly, launch a Divine Soul Attack!"
Zhao Qing was the first to react, hastily giving the order.
Behind him, a dozen Divine Thought Masters immediately launched their Divine Soul Attacks.
Among these masters, there were five superior Emperor Realm Divine Thought Masters.
They were enough to threaten a Six-Star Emperor!
Although Ling Chen’s attack power was immense, his cultivation level was ultimately too low.
He should not be able to withstand the Divine Soul Attacks of late-stage Emperor Realm Divine Thought Masters.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Numerous Divine Soul Attacks plunged directly into Ling Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.
However, Ling Chen continued to walk towards them nonchalantly, as if the Divine Soul Attacks didn’t exist at all.
Zhao Qing and the others were full of disbelief, especially the five superior Emperor Realm Divine Thought Masters.
A Six-Star Emperor actually dared to ignore their Divine Soul Attacks?
Had Ling Chen been an older generation powerhouse, that would have been one thing.
But Ling Chen was a young prodigy!
Prodigies like him usually have real cultivation levels weaker by one or two levels than what they show.
Their formidable aura is mainly because of the powerful World Power inside their bodies.
And strong or weak World Powers aren’t very related to the Divine Soul.
Such prodigies are supposed to be most vulnerable to Divine Soul Attacks!
Yet, Ling Chen seemed to be unaffected by their attacks, showing no signs of disturbance.
This completely overturned their understanding.
Ling Chen moved swiftly, charging towards the dozen Divine Thought Masters.
He utilized a low-grade Body Technique Emperor Spirit Technique, Qingyun Step.
Even with this alone, his speed far surpassed those of Divine Thought Masters.
In a few breaths’ time, Ling Chen had rushed into the midst of the crowd.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Ling Chen wielded the Purple Profound Sword, with the Green Lotus Sword Qi clinging to the blade.
As the Purple Profound Sword traced an arc, a Divine Thought Master was cut in two.
Within a single breath, all twelve Divine Thought Masters were dead.
Ling Chen looked at those twelve transparent little figures.
They were the Divine Souls of the Divine Thought Masters.
At the Emperor Realm, Divine Thought Masters’ Divine Souls can leave the body and exist independently for an extended time.
Even the Divine Souls of Emperors could survive within their own World Power.
Just like Lord Yan Huang.
Moreover, the Divine Souls of Emperor Realm Divine Thought Masters were even stronger than those of Emperors, capable of moving on their own. Latest content published on novel⦿fire.net
They could even possess others in order to be reborn.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Ling Chen’s thoughts flickered, and multiple streams of Divine Soul Telekinesis shot out from his glabella, instantly forming a Divine Soul Cage that trapped the twelve divine souls.
The twelve divine souls let out piercing screams upon touching the Divine Soul Cage.
For, the Divine Soul Cage was imbued with the burning power of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
With a clench of his right hand, the Divine Soul Cage flew towards Ling Chen.
Then, he directly threw the Divine Soul Cage into his inner world.
In his world, he was an invincible existence.
Even divine souls could not resist him.
Next, Ling Chen collected the storage rings from the twelve corpses.
"What is that thing?"
Many Divine Thought Masters sensed the presence of Ling Chen’s Divine Soul Cage.
Even the divine souls of top-tier Emperor Realm Divine Thought Masters dared not come into contact with it.
It showed just how terrifying the Divine Soul Cage was!
Seeing the twelve Divine Thought Masters he had brought along, now with their physical bodies slain and their divine souls captured, Zhao Qing was so frightened that he wet himself and trembled like a sieve.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but his teeth chattered so much that he couldn’t utter a word.
After dealing with the twelve Divine Thought Masters, Ling Chen then turned his gaze towards Zhao Qing.
Just one look from him made Zhao Qing involuntarily kneel down.
"I left you a physical body, though not intact, it is enough for your divine soul to have a place to reside. It seems you don’t need it!"
Ling Chen said with a light smile.
A beam of Green Lotus Sword Qi burst forth, slashing directly across Zhao Qing’s neck.
A column of blood shot up into the sky.
Ling Chen’s figure shifted, appearing in front of Zhao Qing, grabbing the latter’s divine soul.
He took out a Jade Bottle and tossed the divine soul into it.
Then, he dropped a Red Lotus Karma Fire from his Sea of Consciousness into the bottle as well.
Screams of extreme agony emanated from the Jade Bottle.
It was chilling to hear.
Ling Chen glanced at the transparent figure in the Jade Bottle, then flew off towards the northeast.
In less than the time of two-quarters of an hour.
Ling Chen arrived at a splendid and magnificent mansion.
Above the mansion’s main gate hung a plaque that read "Zhao Residence".
"Zhao Wuji, come out here!"
A voice emanated from Ling Chen’s mouth, spreading across ten miles radius.
"Who dares to run wild in the Zhao Family?"
One by one, members of the Zhao Family Guard rose into the sky, glaring at Ling Chen with anger.
The leader among them was even a late-stage six-star Emperor!
Ling Chen snorted coldly, a Jade Bottle appeared in his hand, and he called towards the bottle, "Zhao Qing!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing’s body jolted.
He quickly transmitted a message to the Guard Captain.
The Guard Captain glanced at the Jade Bottle and immediately descended towards the mansion.
Soon after, a purple-robed elder, a blue-robed middle-aged man, and a crowd of Divine Thought Masters emerged.
The blue-robed middle-aged man nearly fainted on the spot when he saw Zhao Qing in the Jade Bottle.
Ling Chen took a glance at the blue-robed man and said indifferently, "Your son wanted to kill me. How do you propose we resolve this matter?"
"Young Master Ling, it is our Zhao Family’s fault, we are willing to compensate you. We only ask you to spare Qing’er!"
Zhao Family Master Zhao Wuji bowed respectfully to Ling Chen.
Earlier, he was refining elixirs.
His subordinates had reported to him about Zhao Qing taking Wang Gongfeng to find Ling Chen.
He thought that with Wang Gongfeng taking action, Ling Chen would be easily captured.
Never did he expect his own son to be slain, along with Wang Gongfeng dying there as well.
Such a powerful person was indeed not someone his Zhao Family could afford to provoke!
"Your attitude isn’t too bad!"
Ling Chen nodded and said: "Well then, I’ll give you some face. Compensate me with one million Soul Gathering Pills, otherwise, I will exterminate your Zhao clan!"
The Zhao Family’s protector had taken action, intending to kill him.
Naturally, he would not be benevolent towards the Zhao Family.
