Chapter 118 - The Gruesome Ling Chen
"Rumble!" At this moment, the earth shattered as the sun and moon lost their brilliance.
One was a 2nd tribulation Martial Saint powerhouse with an ample battle experience while the other was newly promoted Martial Saint; both were fighting chaotically in the sky.
The battle was so astonishing and so great that it attracted the attention of many people that were far away.
"Little bastard, stop running and dodging my attacks like a little bitch and fight me head-on," shouted Yan Zuntian as he continued to thrust his Heaven Piercing Lance.
"Words are useless. If you have any other moves then bring them out, I'm waiting right here." Facing Yan Zuntian's killing intent and taunting words, Ling Chen simply wasn't affected at all.
He once again used his strongest strike, wanting to end Ling Chen with one blow. However, Ling Chen effortlessly dodged it again. Yan Zuntian's eyes turned cold and furious. Nonetheless, he didn't stop his attack and continued to thrust his Heaven Piercing Lance forward with all his might.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of space being ripped apart continually echoed out as Yan Zuntian continued his barrage of lance's attack.
The Heaven Piercing Lance in his hand became an awakened dragon as if it had its own consciousness
His thrusts were powerful to the point where even space itself was being torn apart with each strike. His precision was also excellent and was a cause for admiration.
As he stuck out with his Heaven Piercing Lance, its speed was beyond incredible! His figure became a series of phantoms, and the lance light condensed into a fine line. Hidden within the air, it was almost invisible and incomparably sharp!
Not only that, but all of his thrusts came from inconceivably tricky angles. It was just impossible to determine the trajectory of the Heaven Piercing Lance, they could not be seen!
His Heaven Piercing Lance seemed to be able to pierce myriad worlds with a single thrust. The Lance represented his will — firm and unblockable.
Nevertheless, Ling Chen was still able to dodge them as though they were a child's play. He wasn't dodging them with his incredible speed but with countless mini-teleportations. His figure was simply blinking in the sky.
It was as though he was playing with Yan Zuntian. They've been fighting for quite a while and Ling Chen hasn't made a single attack. He was always on the defensive.
With Ling Chen's mini teleportation power combined with eye power that allowed him to see the trajectories of each attack, he made Yan Zuntian looked like a baby.
At this point, Yan Zuntian started to think that Ling Chen was simply toying with him.
And guess what!
He was right.
Ling Chen was actually using him to accumulate experience. He was accumulating experience in using his Spatial Energy to teleport and resist the various kinds of spatial attacks. The longer They fought, the more adept Ling Chen became in using his spatial energy.
Unfortunately for Yan Zuntian, he wasn't a 4th tribulation Martial Saint, as such he didn't possess a Spatial Domain which would have been able to inhibit Ling Chen's teleportation.
As a 2nd tribulation Martial Saint powerhouse, his comprehension of the spatial law only allowed him to counteract the gravity and increased the speed of his attacks beyond the limit. Aside from that, he could also coat his Heaven Piercing Lance with spatial energy which would allow it to disregard any physical defense.
The two fought for a very long time. During the fight, Yan Zuntian altered his old techniques into something new altogether and derived these new forms to their extremes. However, he was still unable to land a single blow on Ling Chen which drove him nuts.
To make matter worse, the little bastard was even smiling as though he enjoyed the fact that he was chasing after him like a dog with a bone.
"Little bastard, you've finally done it. You've angered this old man."
Eventually, Yan Zuntian lost his patience in this long battle and uttered a cry to suddenly change his lance technique.
He then pointed the tip towards Ling Chen. Even before he began his offense, a lance intent covered the entire world and locked Ling Chen in place. This world might be vast, but there was no place for Ling Chen to hide at this moment
The only thing in his eyes, at this moment, was this powerful enemy, Ling Chen. The only thought that plagued him was to piece countless holes in the little bastard's chest, all unnecessary thoughts were dispelled
He then suddenly flew towards Ling Chen like a ghost and launched a series of attacks with his Heaven Piercing Lance.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Multiple attacks in succession.
The Lance was so fast that Ling Chen could only see blinding flashes of light coming to hunt him.
Right now, all his attacks became more chaotic and were out of the ordinary boundary; each thrust was its own world. In an instant, Yan Zuntian's offensive capabilities skyrocketed to a tyrannical level and were no longer as perfect as before.
His techniques were orderly yet flexible with its remarkable and more-than-sufficient offense and defense. They could be described as without any openings; he was an expert of the Lance Dao.
Though Ling Chen hasn't made a single attack on him, he still didn't dare to leave him any openings.
"Good, good, good, just to my liking." Ling Chen emitted a powerful aura. At this moment, he was like a vast sea with boundless energy.
The battle continued from the sky, then to the ground, and then back to the sky. Yan Zuntian attacked Ling Chen relentlessly while Ling Chen continued to evade his attacks with his mini teleportations.
After more than twenty minutes, Yan Zuntian started to look desperate. His expression was dismal. He had already consumed more than half his True Qi essence, but Ling Chen hadn't used it as much. In fact, his bodily energy was still extremely thick like it was before!
How could it be like this? What sort of freak was this boy?
'I can't drag this on anymore. I have to kill this little bastard as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues then I will most likely lose my life!'
One has to understand, Ling Chen was already invincible when battling in the same realm. Now with this sudden mini teleportation ability, he was like a tiger that had grown wings.
"Alright, you stupid old fool. I'm done playing with you. You can stop your futile struggles now! I'll show you that In front of absolute power, all skills become meaningless."
Having said that, Ling Chen's aura completely changed. He carried a majestic air like the ruler of the universe as he emitted a peerless aura.
He no longer looked playful anymore. He was particularly calm and solemn at this moment. It was as if he had become a celestial being and had an atmosphere of righteousness
It was if he was the heavens, and the heavens were he. His body was empowered with endless life source. He was as if he could cast anything evil away with his noble presence.
"You little fuck! You think you can kill me?" Roared out Yan Zuntian in anger. He couldn't believe that a little bastard that hasn't even reached his puberty yet was toying with him. This was a great humiliation for him.
"You shall know right away whether I can." Replied Ling Chen in a cold tone.
"Go to hell." Cursed out Yan Zuntian as he transformed into a beam of flowing light and charged towards Ling Chen at an incredible speed.
Swish!
At the same time, he thrust his Heaven Piercing Lance with every ounce of his remaining strength wanting to blow Ling Chen's brains out.
However, before he could pierce through Ling Chen's head with his Heaven Piercing Lance, Ling Chen's right eye suddenly shone brightly and flashed a sinister crimson light.
At the same time, the cold and sinister crimson light coming from Ling Chen's right eye instantly shot through Yan Zuntian's body.
Swoosh!
The instant the cold and red sinister lights made contact with his body, his countenance suddenly changed. He discovered that he was unable to move his body anymore.
He was suspended in mid-air while his Heaven Piercing Lance was only a few inches away from Ling Chen's throat.
"I've already told you. In front of absolute power, all skills become meaningless. My spiritual power is already comparable to that of a 3rd tribulation Martial Saint."
" A 2nd tribulation Martial Saint like yourself didn't stand a chance from the beginning."
Yan Zuntian's face turned red as cold sweat began rolling down his face.
"Now, this is for sullying my mother's land with your fifthly Yan Imperial Army."
Having said that, his right hand turned into dark claws and moved towards Yan Zuntian's right shoulder. His hand moved slowly, but there was a strange power behind it.
Yan Zuntian tried hard to dodge Ling Chen's dark claw but quickly discovered that he was still frozen in place by an unknown force.
Finally, the dark claws landed on Yan Zuntian's right shoulder.
In the next moment;
AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Yan Zuntian suddenly let out of scream of pain as Ling Chen ruthlessly ripped his right arm apart. His bloodcurdling voice, akin to thunder, rang across the sky. His blood spurted everywhere.
"I am not done with you yet. We'll have to put a good show for that special guest watching us from afar." Ling Chen said as he placed his claw onto the left arm.
Seeing how that the little demon was able to cleanly rip his arm apart from his body with a straight face, he was immediately scared, to the point of feeling a chill, and could not help gasping.
At this moment, Yan Zuntian finally realized what kinda monster he had just provoked. He was simply a little demon in human skin.
"Bastard, if you are a fucking man just kill me." Seeing that Ling Chen had placed his claw into his left shoulder, Yan Zuntian couldn't help but shout.
He really didn't want to go through that pain again. He knew that little bastard would never spare his life no matter how much he'd plead. As such, his only option was to ask for a quick death.
AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Yan Zuntian's miserable screech rang out again as Ling Chen ripped off the left arm.
"Don't worry there's still two legs left and your eyes, plus I still have to absorb your life essence, well, what's left of it anyway." Ling Chen said with a devilish smile on his face.
"You fucking little bitch just kill me if you have the balls." Yan Zuntian was driven insane upon hearing Ling Chen's words. This little demon was simply a madman, a devil.
" You're right. I don't have the balls, they haven't grown that big yet."
"I've just told you that we must put a good show for that special guest watching from afar. That way he'll think twice before making an enemy out of me." Added Ling Chen in a cold icy tone.
He simply ignored Yan Zuntian's wordless pleas as he continued with his gruesome torture.
