Ling Tian Sword God

Just as the light array was contracting and about to capture the Yin Dragon, a cyan figure suddenly dashed out, appearing in the center of the light array.

As soon as Qing Luo appeared, she abruptly struck out with her palm, and the massive force exclusive to a Top Sky Apex Strong shattered the light array.

With the light array broken apart, the four experts from the Saint Witch Religion spewed mouthfuls of fresh blood, their bodies knocked flying backward.

Upon seeing Qing Luo's arrival, Liu Xiling also furrowed her brows. "Who are you, and why are you interfering in our affairs?"

"Because... we targeted this Yin Dragon first. We hope that you, Saintess Royal Highness, will return this Yin Dragon to us." A captivating smile touched the corners of Qing Luo's lips, though her claim sounded rather audacious.

"You... guys?"

Liu Xiling looked doubtful. Then, she heard the rustling of footsteps. Her gaze landed on the nearby forest, from where the sound originated.

A young swordsman emerged from the forest.

"It's you?"

A hint of surprise crossed Liu Xiling's beautiful eyes. She was clearly taken aback by Ling Chen's appearance here.

"Are you surprised, Saintess Royal Highness?"

Ling Chen stared at the woman in black. In the past, he would have longed to rush into her embrace and enjoy their long-lost affection. But now, he had only one thought: to defeat her.

"I didn't expect that in such a short time, you've found such a powerful helper."

Liu Xiling glanced at Ling Chen and then retracted her gaze. How could she not sense that Qing Luo's aura had clearly reached the Sky Apex Realm?

Top Sky Apex Strongs were exceedingly rare in the entire Five Kingdoms, and this woman in green was someone she had never met before.

"I have been monitoring this Yin Dragon for a month now. I hadn't seen any of you before. How did it become something you targeted first?"

Liu Xiling shook her head, her gaze fixed on Qing Luo. "I believe Your Excellency has no desire to make an enemy of our Saint Witch Religion without reason. This Yin Dragon is ours."

"While I naturally have no intention of making enemies with you, we must have this Yin Dragon." A sharp glint appeared in Qing Luo's beautiful eyes. "Saintess Royal Highness, you've just expended a great deal of effort defeating the Yin Dragon, and your Vitality Energy is now greatly depleted. In your current state, you're no match for me. It would be best for you and your people to leave this place quickly."

"That remains to be seen."

Liu Xiling raised her fair right hand, seemingly issuing some command to the four experts from the Saint Witch Religion. The next moment, the four of them gradually retreated some distance.

"It seems I've been underestimated," Qing Luo murmured, the coldness in her eyes intensifying slightly.

She clenched her fist, and a mighty cyan True Qi erupted from her body. Behind her, it condensed into a huge, three-headed serpent phantom. This serpent had three heads, identical to Lin Yu's Three-headed Snake Bloodline. However, compared to Lin Yu's, the serpent phantom Qing Luo had unleashed was undoubtedly far more powerful.

"Go!"

She waved her hand, and the great serpent phantom swept through the air, hurtling towards Liu Xiling.

Facing this majestic serpent phantom, Liu Xiling also extended her palm. The blood mark on it writhed. Her nails punctured her skin, and a drop of blood merged into her True Qi. The True Qi rapidly transformed, forming a Blood-colored Altar that emanated a vast, ancient aura.

BANG!

Two massive attacks collided violently, shaking the very heavens and earth. In mid-air, ripples could be clearly seen spreading, and space itself trembled unceasingly.

About a hundred meters away, Ling Chen still felt a powerful shockwave, like a typhoon sweeping past him.

A great serpent phantom, an ancient altar. The two attacks intertwined furiously, brilliant sparks erupting between them.

BOOM!

After this intertwining persisted for several breaths, the great serpent phantom suddenly collapsed. It shattered into pieces, transforming into a shower of cyan flower petals in mid-air.

Was her technique broken? Ling Chen's pupils constricted slightly. Hadn't Liu Xiling's Vitality Energy already been greatly depleted? How could she still shatter Qing Luo's great serpent phantom under such circumstances?

"It's not over yet."

Qing Luo, however, showed no alarm, her face still filled with confidence. Her hand suddenly clenched, and an invisible ripple spread out.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

The cyan flower petals in mid-air suddenly recondensed, gathering together.

"Wanhua Giant Snake!"

Qing Luo cried out, and the cyan flower petals once again transformed into a fifty-zhang-long, colossal, cyan, three-headed serpent phantom. This phantom was covered all over with cyan floral patterns and was clearly much more powerful than the previous great serpent phantom.

BANG!

As soon as the Wanhua Giant Snake formed, it lashed out once more, ferociously sweeping out to collide with the ancient altar formed by True Qi.

This impact sent the pool water surging into the air, and nearby large trees were uprooted. The might of this force was enough to, without exaggeration, overturn rivers and seas.

CRACK!

Under this powerful collision, a fissure suddenly appeared on the ancient altar. The fissure emerged in the Central Area of the altar and threatened to spread across the entire structure.

As the altar cracked, Liu Xiling clutched her chest, her face turning ashen. She suddenly looked behind her and shouted sharply, "Attack!"

The moment her voice fell, the four experts from the Saint Witch Religion shot out. Moving like phantoms, their speed was extreme as they all charged ferociously towards Ling Chen!

Ling Chen's pupils contracted abruptly. Their target is me!

So, unable to win, you want to capture your own son as a hostage to threaten me? Qing Luo had undoubtedly seen through Liu Xiling's intentions. She then chuckled mockingly, "It seems you truly are a heartless woman, willing to strike even your own son. But don't think such petty tricks will succeed in front of me!"

As she spoke, the Wanhua Giant Snake lashed out abruptly. With lightning speed, it struck the area in front of Ling Chen. The attack instantly swept away the four experts from the Saint Witch Religion, sending them flying. Even Ling Chen himself was sent tumbling by the ferocious impact.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, Liu Xiling gritted her silver teeth. With a wave of her hand, she landed on the pool's surface. Then, like a dragonfly skimming the water, she flew lightly to the top of a small hill.

Seeing Liu Xiling about to flee, Qing Luo also channeled her True Qi, preparing to give chase. This was when Liu Xiling was at her weakest—an excellent opportunity to kill her.
