Chapter 228: Ghost Shadow Three Blades_1
Just as Mo Feng was about to give chase, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood; this sword strike had injured his internal organs. He hurriedly sat down in meditation, needing to stabilize his injuries first.
"Mo Feng, you useless piece of shit! They're getting away, and you're not even chasing them? Are you just going to eat shit?" Liu Yi watched with wide eyes as Ling Chen and Lin Ya escaped from the Palace, his lungs practically exploding with anger.
"You useless thing, just like a fly! Die for me!" Mo Feng finally lost his patience. He had endured him before, but now, he could bear it no longer.
SWISH! He rose directly and slapped Liu Yi on the forehead, shattering his skull with a single palm.
THUD. Liu Yi's body fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.
Meanwhile, outside the ancient city, dozens of figures were waiting. Six or seven out of ten were members of the Black Dragon Gang; the rest were the remaining experts from the Baiyue Trade Association.
All their eyes were fixed on the ancient city's gate, because only Ling Chen, Lin Ya, Mo Feng, Liu Yi, and their group were still inside.
"Heh heh, you don't need to wait any longer. With Protector Mo Feng's strength, your young master is no match for him. You'd better take this chance to escape quickly. Otherwise, when Protector Mo Feng comes out, you'll have no opportunity to flee."
Liu Sha looked at the experts of the Baiyue Trade Association and couldn't help but grin; he had absolute confidence in Mo Feng's strength.
"Lin Ya is one of the three young masters of the Black Market. If anything happens to her, not only the Black Dragon Gang but even the Shocking Death Sect will be finished!" an Elder from the Baiyue Trade Association said with a cold laugh.
Hearing this, Liu Sha's heart skipped a beat. They truly couldn't afford to offend Lin Ya. He could only hope Mo Feng wouldn't go too far. If he really killed this Young Master of the Black Market, the aftermath would be difficult to handle.
BOOM!
Just then, the gates of the ancient city suddenly swung open, and two figures, one in front of the other, darted out.
It was Ling Chen and Lin Ya.
"Young Master Lin Ya!"
Seeing Lin Ya, the people from the Baiyue Trade Association felt their anxious hearts finally settle. If anything had happened to her, none of them would have had an easy time upon returning.
"What? It's these two juniors? Why hasn't Lord Mo Feng come out yet?" Seeing Ling Chen and Lin Ya emerge, Liu Sha's expression turned grim. He hadn't expected Mo Feng to fail in dealing with either of them. And now, what were they doing inside the ancient city? Making a baby?
Of course, he didn't know that Mo Feng had been injured by Ling Chen and Lin Ya and was currently recuperating.
"Your Protector Mo is already dead! Lin Ya and I joined forces to kill him. He's not coming out!" Ling Chen swept his gaze over the Black Dragon Gang's area and deliberately shouted loudly.
"What? Protector Mo Feng is dead?"
"Impossible! Protector Mo Feng is a Third Level Grand Master! How could he lose to two juniors?"
"It's hard to say. Why hasn't he come out, while these two emerged unharmed?"
The Black Dragon Gang instantly fell into disarray. Although there was no concrete evidence, Ling Chen's shout undoubtedly caused great turmoil among them.
"Attack!" Ling Chen signaled Lin Ya with his eyes, then drew his sword and charged towards Liu Sha.
"Kill!" Lin Ya understood Ling Chen's intention: while Mo Feng hadn't come out yet, they would first annihilate the Black Dragon Gang. That way, only Mo Feng would be left, a solitary figure unable to stir up any significant trouble.
The people of the Baiyue Trade Association, already seething with suppressed anger, became agitated upon seeing Lin Ya make her move. They drew their weapons and charged out.
"Kid, are you seeking death?" Liu Sha's expression darkened as he saw Ling Chen rushing towards him. This mere Ling Chen dares to charge at me, a Grand Master? He's truly courting death!
Drawing the great saber from his waist, Liu Sha's figure flickered, and two afterimages appeared behind him. What was most shocking was that with each afterimage that manifested, the blade aura emanating from his saber grew increasingly terrifying!
"Take this! Ghostly Shadow Triple Slash!"
Witnessing this scene, the expressions of the Baiyue Trade Association's experts also grew solemn. This was Liu Sha's signature killing move, a Top Grade Earth Class Blade technique. It was rumored that he had once used this move to slay two First Realm Grand Masters.
Just moments ago, those two Elders from the Baiyue Trade Association had nearly been slain by Liu Sha using this very slash. Fortunately, they had been at the First Realm Grand Master stage for several years; otherwise, they would likely have died at Liu Sha's hand.
This move had three stages. When the third afterimage appeared, the blade aura would reach its peak. Such a blade aura—aside from City Lord Tu Xiaofeng, likely no Grand Master in North Wind City would dare to face it head-on!
"Ling Chen, be careful! Liu Sha is no common foe!"
Even without Lin Ya's reminder, Ling Chen could sense the terrifying fluctuations emanating from Liu Sha's saber. With a flash in his eyes, he tapped his foot on the ground and leaped into the air, the Cloud-hidden Sword in his hand shooting forth.
Immense Sword Intent erupted from between Ling Chen's brows, imbuing this sword strike.
"This kid isn't even trying to dodge Liu Sha's slash?"
"He's too arrogant! Does he really think he can withstand Liu Sha's terrifying attack?"
"Impossible! The difference in Cultivation is too vast. Even a genius couldn't possibly achieve that."
The experts from the Baiyue Trade Association did not favor Ling Chen, believing he was overestimating his abilities, like an egg striking a stone.
At that very moment, the ferocious blade aura, like a pillar of light, rapidly condensed an exceptionally sharp gang wind upon it, resembling a small storm. Then, under numerous astonished gazes, it tore through the air, blasting towards Ling Chen.
"Kid, taste death!" As the great saber left his hand, a tinge of paleness crept onto Liu Sha's face. This kind of attack, though immensely powerful, also consumed a great deal of energy. However, he had absolute confidence in this move because, against it, even experts of the same realm were indefensible, let alone a mere Ling Chen.
Although Ling Chen sensed the terrifying attack rapidly shooting up from below, his eyes, on the contrary, slowly closed, as if he were immersed in his Sword Momentum. The next moment, his eyes abruptly snapped open. Then, facing Liu Sha's incredibly terrifying blade aura, he showed no signs of retreat and instead countered with a sword strike.
Dragon Seeking Sword Technique—Ninth Form, Dragon Revealing Touch!
The originally formless sword light suddenly became more brilliant than the sun. Then, like a meteor streaking across the sky, it smashed into Liu Sha's fierce blade aura under the gazes of the crowd!
The instant of impact, terrifying shockwaves erupted in mid-air like a flash flood. Those nearby, except for a few with considerable strength, couldn't withstand the pressure and hurriedly retreated.
"Break!" Ling Chen's expression was sharp. Watching the diffusing shockwaves, he let out a cold shout. The might of that streak of sword light suddenly soared. Then, as the light flared brilliantly, it surged forth amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, forcibly tearing apart Liu Sha's exceedingly fierce blade aura!
"What?!" Witnessing this scene in mid-air, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations. Liu Sha's powerful killing move actually appeared so fragile before Ling Chen?
