Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 61 - 60 Unexpected Overwhelming_1

No one expected Ling Chen to so brazenly belittle Li Tai, one of the "Ten Heroes of the Capital." His words were enough to infuriate anyone who heard them.

As everyone had anticipated, Li Tai indeed retaliated against Ling Chen.

"This Ling Chen is truly arrogant. Li Tai is probably going to make him pay the price now."

Zhou Heng smirked coldly and shook his head. He was more than happy to witness Li Tai teaching Ling Chen a lesson, to show Xu Ruoyan the true strength of the Ten Heroes of the Capital.

In a furious rage, Li Tai thrust out a finger. This finger strike, like a shooting star, brutally targeted Ling Chen’s face.

Ling Chen caught the blast of energy between his index and middle fingers and, with a flick of his wrist, crushed it into dust.

Though his finger attack was shattered by Ling Chen, Li Tai’s next move was already incoming—a ruthless blast of Palm Power, fiercely aiming for Ling Chen’s head.

Li Tai’s eyes flashed with malice; he wanted Ling Chen dead!

"Palm as Sword, Breaking Clouds Fivefold."

Sensing Li Tai’s killing intent, Ling Chen raised his hand, palm outward like a sword. Astonishing power transformed into Palm Power, and he slashed out vertically.

The two palms collided. A ripple of air burst out between Ling Chen and Li Tai.

Li Tai was sent flying backward. He crashed through a table behind him, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his disheveled hair splaying across the ground.

"What?"

The Crown Prince and Zhou Heng were both shocked and disbelieving. Li Tai had actually been blown away by Ling Chen in just one move! It was simply unbelievable.

"Li Tai is one of the Ten Heroes of the Capital, a distinguished Martial Artist of the Third Level! His strength is unfathomable. How could he be defeated by Ling Chen in a single move?"

Ying Wuqing stared at the scene in dumbfounded disbelief, his wine cup slipping from his hand and shattering on the ground.

"Before Ling Chen, Li Tai is no different from an infant."

"Is this Ling Chen really just a Martial Artist of the first realm?"

Not only were Ying Wuqing and the others astonished, but even the other warriors in the banquet hall were greatly surprised.

They were unaware of Ling Chen’s strength, but they were very clear about Li Tai’s. Li Tai’s cultivation had reached the Martial arts triple realm; his strength was comparable to that of seasoned Martial Artists. Yet, he had been swept away by a single move from Ling Chen. It was simply too outrageous.

Although Ling Chen was renowned as a genius, Li Tai was also one of the Three Heroes of the Capital, a representative of the capital’s noble scions.

Li Tai’s face turned grim, a mixture of humiliation and fury. He sprang up from the ground and roared, "You beast! Today, I’ll make you kneel and beg for mercy!"

He spread his legs slightly, lifted his head, and took a deep breath. His palm extended, then curled like a Spirit Snake.

His overflowing True Qi all gathered in his abdomen.

WHOOSH! Li Tai suddenly dashed out. His speed was extreme, like a flash of lightning, and he arrived before Ling Chen in an instant.

The True Qi in his abdomen surged into his arm as he threw a punch.

True Qi roiled around his fist, reminiscent of a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

"Spirit Snake Fist, Li Tai’s most adept Earth-level martial art!"

The eyes of the Crown Prince, Zhou Heng, and the others lit up; they were all too familiar with this Spirit Snake Fist.

Using the Spirit Snake Fist against Ling Chen meant that Li Tai was truly enraged.

"Hidden Dragon in the Abyss."

Ling Chen drew the Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword. Sounds of dragon roars erupted from within him as he slashed out with a straight strike.

Two powerful streams of True Qi collided, producing a deafening blast.

In terms of power, how could the mere Earth-level Sword Technique, the Thirteen God’s Gate Swords, compare to the Dragon Seeking Sword Technique? This move, Hidden Dragon in the Abyss, contained all of Ling Chen’s strength.

The intertwined True Qi forces erupted with immense power from Ling Chen’s sword, surging towards Li Tai like an overwhelming tidal wave.

BOOM!

Li Tai was sent flying once again. He crashed into the table where Ying Wuqing and his two companions sat, demolishing it, before landing clumsily on the ground.

The surrounding warriors immediately backed far away, their gazes fixed on Ling Chen in terror.

Ling Chen also retreated five or six steps. With the Heavenly Emperor Heavy Sword, he executed a circular Sword Flower, effortlessly deflecting the entirety of Li Tai’s Fist Strength with nonchalant ease.

All the warriors in the Cui Yu Building were utterly stunned.

If Ling Chen’s first victory over Li Tai could be attributed to an accident, perhaps Li Tai underestimating his opponent, it couldn’t be considered a true measure of strength.

However, the second time, Li Tai had even used his ultimate technique, the Spirit Snake Fist, yet he was still defeated.

This could only mean one thing: Li Tai was truly no match for Ling Chen.

"To think that not even the renowned Ten Heroes of the Capital are Ling Chen’s match! The top genius of the Martial World—his reputation is well-deserved."

"Indeed, no one in his age group is his opponent. Even looking at other countries, I doubt there are any youths who can compare to him."

"To possess such strength with merely first realm cultivation... ascending the Heavenly List in the future will likely be a breeze for him."

The warriors discussed amongst themselves, their voices filled with awe.

Ling Chen’s performance had undoubtedly won their heartfelt admiration.

"Judging by his appearance, he seems to have only just broken through to the Martial Artist First Layer. His True Qi Virtual Pill has only just condensed, yet he can achieve so much!" an older warrior remarked in astonishment.

"He just broke through and already defeated Li Tai! If his cultivation were to advance a few more stages, who among the younger generation would be his opponent?"

The crowd exchanged glances, their faces filled with amazement and admiration.

The Crown Prince’s expression flickered, his thoughts unreadable. Zhou Heng also looked apprehensive; his strength was comparable to Li Tai’s, and Li Tai had been defeated by Ling Chen in a single blow. If it had been him, he probably wouldn’t have fared any better.

"Junior Sister Xu, you should understand Ling Chen’s character," Xiao Muyu said, standing up from his seat and walking over to Xu Ruoyan to mediate. "There must be a reason he bought this girl. With his talent, if he truly desired a beautiful woman, why would he need to resort to buying one?"

"So what?" Xu Ruoyan remained cold, her eyes fixed intently on Ling Chen. It wasn’t that she was angry Ling Chen had bought the girl; she didn’t believe for a moment he would try anything with the young woman. What infuriated her was that Ling Chen wouldn’t tell her the truth! That man clearly didn’t take her, his fiancée, seriously at all!

Unreasonable.

Ling Chen shook his head, deeply disappointed in Xu Ruoyan. He then turned to the Crown Prince and cupped his fist.

"Your Highness, I have urgent matters to attend to. Please excuse my departure."

With that, he took the foreign girl’s small hand and prepared to leave the Cui Yu Building.

Seeing Ling Chen leave the Cui Yu Building, Xiao Muyu also cupped his fist to the Crown Prince and followed him out.

Watching Ling Chen depart, Xu Ruoyan couldn’t help but feel a pang of dismay. Her anger had mostly subsided by now, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to yield to Ling Chen, especially not in public, where many were eager to see her humiliated.

Why was it that everyone else was eager to fall at her feet, willing to do anything for her, yet Ling Chen insisted on defying her? What was so difficult about admitting he was wrong to her?

As for Ling Chen, he felt he hadn’t done anything wrong. It was Xu Ruoyan who was throwing a tantrum like a spoiled young lady, making a fuss over such a trivial matter. This woman was too willful and unreasonable. She was the one who had proposed to dissolve the engagement. Logically, there was nothing between them anymore, so why was she meddling in his private affairs?
