Chapter 35: Hands Behind Back, Shen Changge!

Am I going to die?

In the dark mist, a man slowly walked over with a hideous expression on his face.

It was Ji Ling. Lin Qingxian recognized him. That person was actually Ji Ling. When it came to seniority, she should call him Senior Brother.

How had he become like this?!

Step by step, Ji Ling walked over. The dark mist behind his back was glowing red. At the moment, half of the flesh on his face had already melted away, leaving behind the other half that was hideous looking. His white skull was even stained with blood. It looked extremely frightening!

All of a sudden, a tiny skeleton appeared on his skull. The skeleton was glowing red and buzzing constantly. It was jumping around strenuously as if it was eager to hit a drum. Its voice was devilish and bewitching.

“Kill, kill, devour, devour, become stronger, become stronger!” it said.

Its voice was accompanied by the crackling of colliding bones that would disturb one’s mind.

Ji Ling had seemingly lost all his consciousness. Almost his entire body had turned into a skeleton. Glowing in an extremely eerie red, he looked at Lin Qingxian.

He quickly unleashed a Move Technique, propelling himself forward at immense speeds!

“Scoundrel!”

Suddenly, a rage-filled cry came from the forest!

It was an elder who was rushing over!

His aura erupted. It was in Late-stage Liberation!

“Qingxian! Back off! I will kill this scoundrel! I never expected that a scourge like you would appear in the Empyrean Sword Sect! To hell, you go!” the elder said furiously and promptly drew his sword!

Lin Qingxian breathed a sigh of relief. But for some unknown reason, she did not feel safe on the inside.

“Elder! Be careful!” she called.

Right at the very next moment!

Ji Ling unlashed a palm attack that with collided with the elder’s sword.

Ka-boom!

The surrounding earth shattered, and a spiderweb-like fissure spread across the ground. Even the dark mist quivered violently. But at the next moment!

The elder let out a blood-curdling scream.

His body fell heavily onto the ground!

“You… you… Late-stage Liberation…”

After not seeing Ji Ling for only a brief while, he had broken into Late-stage Liberation. Besides, his strength was exceptionally immense. It was terrifying. Such a horrifying speed of advancing in Cultivation Base… the elder’s heart froze!

He was left severely injured on the ground by the palm attack!

Whoosh!

The surrounding dark mist swarmed over, immediately enveloping him and pressing him firmly to the ground, rendering him unable to move!

This is bad! If I’m devoured by him, what Cultivation Base would Ji Ling grow into? However, he discovered that Ji Ling seemingly did not want to devour him.

“Kill, devour, become stronger…”

The skeleton was still shaking and buzzing constantly. Ji Ling, on the other hand, kept on staring at Lin Qingxian. His glowing red eyes did not move away from her for even a split second.

Lin Qingxian screamed.

She felt excruciating pain at the back of her neck!

At that moment, the skull mark on her neck abruptly lit up and emitted a burning and dazzling red light. It felt as if it had come alive!

Ji Ling dashed over maniacally!

The elder gritted his teeth. Immediately, he raised his hand and a gentle gust of energy pushed Lin Qingxian away!

D*mn it!

It all came to light for the elder!

This was just like breeding venomous insects. His life force was certainly powerful, but for Ji Ling, the yield would be mediocre. The one that would truly yield a great effect was the skull mark on Lin Qingxian’s neck, grafted on a living soul, which was constantly growing. That was the reason why demons often marked people and harvested them later!

Ji Ling must not be allowed to find Lin Qingxian!

At that moment, carried by the thrust of the energy that the elder had released, Lin Qingxian quickly left the area!

However, the elder’s face was solemn. He was well aware that Lin Qingxian could never escape!

If Lin Qingxian was devoured…

Would Ji Ling grow into a terrible Divine Bridge-stage demon?

Should that happen, it would become a massive catastrophe for the entire Empyrean Sword Sect!

“Elder!”

At that moment, Mo Qingchen ran over anxiously from a place not far off.

“Hurry up and save… Qing… Qingxian… she… she is being targeted…” the elder said.

Mo Qingchen’s expression changed, suddenly becoming cold and gloomy.

“Rest assured, elder. Little Junior Sister and I were trained by the same master. I will not let anything happen to her.”

He promptly drew his sword. His eyes were chilling. His Move Technique was not at all mediocre, either. He immediately left the area at immense speeds!

“Save me first you… fool…”

The elder’s head tilted as he fell to the ground and passed out. Ji Ling’s palm attack from earlier had left him severely injured.

And at that moment.

Lin Qingxian was running wildly.

“Kill… devour… become stronger…”

The voice of the skeleton reverberated throughout the forest. It echoed endlessly like a vengeful spirit seeking retribution…

It went on without end.

However, the elder’s energy was about to dissipate…

The chilling aura behind her back was getting closer and closer!

Am I going to die?

Lin Qingxian could not help but close her eyes as she felt the advancing cold. That mysterious ace, is he really not Senior Brother Changge? That very familiar voice saying “go home…” back then, was it really not Senior Brother Changge?

Her heart gradually became icy cold.

Lin Qingxian felt that Ji Ling had likely arrived nearby. A cold skeletal hand reached out, cold and glowing red. The bones made a trilling sound, harboring power that could run through everything.

“Ah!”

Lin Qingxian screamed in horror.

And in the very next instant!

Ji Ling, who was behind her, shuddered all over as if he had sensed something terrifying!

Swoosh!

The surrounding air condensed abruptly. Cold air was rushing past like an unending mass of Divine Swords. It was a majestic gust of power brimming with absolute awe. The ambiance in the air was instantly imbued with the aura of death. Thunder rumbled and dark lightning flashed, exuding a cold and sinister aura!

Ka-boom!

The trees were crushed and bent. Feeling the horrifying aura, Lin Qingxian felt as if she was in a deep ocean of despair. A drowning-like sensation instantly overwhelmed her!

Swoosh!

A gust of chilling Swordlight was unleashed to almost the very peak of power!

Lin Qingxian, who had knowledge of swords, had never seen such a dazzling Swordlight. Even the great master at his prime could not strike such a terrifying Swordlight with his blade!

Ji Ling unleashed a miserable shriek!

Lin Qingxian looked back, dumbfounded.

At that moment, the hand that Ji Ling had just extended was broken. Already darkened blood was all over the ground. The skeleton plunged to the dirt and was shattered into dust by the terrifying Sword Qi, exploding as soon as it landed…

Currently, a terrifying Sword Qi still lingered in the air. Lightning crept across the ground like dark withered branches. The earth trembled and cracked wherever it passed.

It was scalp-numbing!

Lin Qingxian’s large and adorable eyes grew wide.

At that moment, Mo Qingchen dashed over in a rush, all the while gasping for air.

His eyes were full of worry!

“Junior Sister…”

He would never allow anything to happen to anyone in his direct family. Although his senior brother had often bullied him, ever since he surpassed his senior brother in Cultivation Base, he had never bullied him back. Besides, he would protect his junior sister in whatever she was involved in. The thing he cared about the most was the friendship between them. Although Ji Ling was powerful, if he were to touch his trigger point, he, Mo Qingchen, would for sure be bold enough to fight him.

Finally!

I’m here!

He already saw Ji Ling’s skeletal hand which he had extended towards his junior sister from behind. That hand was glowing red. If it connected, it would definitely would have caused a piercing wound!

As he noticed, his eyes grew wide with rage.

A streak of terrifying Swordlight that was far beyond his cognition abruptly crashed down!

Ji Ling, who was at Late-stage Liberation, had his hand severed instantly. His fear was through the roof!

Who was it?!

What a horrifying Swordlight!

The Swordlight was simply breathtaking. He had cultivated in the Empyrean Sword Manual’s Riding Sword Section and had also seen his master training in it. But at that moment, he felt like, compared to this Swordlight, that of his own and his master’s seemed as if they were performed by a layperson!

That was the true Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Sword Section!

So profound that it had exceeded what he could understand!

A daunting Tempest Force rose in the surrounding area. Dark lightning surged and erupted at power levels that were horrifying to the extreme!

The highest phase in Riding Sword- Five Yin Elements!

How was this possible?!

Who was that guy?!

He quickly looked around.

However, at that moment, his pupils abruptly constricted. He saw a figure standing on the Empyrean Peak. It was a man with eyebrows as sharp as a sword and eyes that were as chilling as a bottomless pool. He was standing there with a stance so tall and upright it was like a Divine Sword that ran through heaven and earth. Gentle winds blew. It felt as if the wind had become a sword under his control!

And that person was truly his eldest senior brother, Shen Changge!

At that moment, Shen Changge was standing with his hands behinds his back. His eyes were chilling and shone with the intent to kill. Of the three swords behind his back, one was already unsheathed!
