He was shocked. He couldn"t believe that two of his most powerful attacks failed to kill Ling Chen in one shot.

In his mind, Ling Chen was dead for sure. With that joint attack, his fate was supposed to be sealed, yet he somehow managed to survive.

He indeed had the intent to kill, and if possible, he wanted to finish the little devil with that two attacks.

While looking at Ling Chen climbing up from within the fiery crater, the middle-aged man had a shocked countenance

Soon, Ling Chen got out and stood a few meters away from the fiery crater like an injured enraged beast.

His small body was riddled with holes and blood was gus.h.i.+ng out from them. It seemed as though he was on the brink of collapse.

A burning smell could be found emanating from his body as well.

He had an ugly expression on his b.l.o.o.d.y face. It was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a heavy injury.

In fact, he had never seen his blood or even felt physical pain ever since he was born until today and he hated that feeling.

A ferocious glint flitted across his angry eyes as he wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth.

His body was trembling due to immense anger. As his body trembled, more b.l.o.o.d.y cracks suddenly appeared on the muscles of his upper body. It was as if his body was about to crack and crumble!

However, while his body showed signs of collapsing, something amazing suddenly happened.

Buzz!"

His body suddenly exuded a dark light. To be more precise, the dark light came from within the b.l.o.o.d.y holes or the injuries on his body.

At the same time, tiny dark strings that appeared like needles started to sew together the cracks as well as the b.l.o.o.d.y holes on his body.

His muscles were still cracking while sewing together by the tiny dark strings. As blood flowed out of the cracks and holes on his flesh, and on the surface of his naked muscles, it did not coagulate. Instead, it was absorbed by his pores. It was like his entire skin or flesh was like a sponge, never wasting a single ounce of blood.

At this moment, his body was recovering as fast as the eyes could see. Till now, Ling Chen never knew that he had that incredible self-recovery ability.

Although his body was recovering by itself, healing all of his injuries from his internal organs as well as his muscles and didn"t even let him lose any blood, Ling Chen could clearly feel that his life force or life essence were being drained at an incredible speed.

From this fact alone, he could clearly tell that the price for his heaven-defying self-recovery ability was his own life essence.

In another word, though his body itself seemed to have no weakness, be it in terms of recovering ability and endurance, it needed a powerful life force or essence to support it.

In the meantime, the grey time middle-aged man standing high above the cloud was looking at Ling Chen in aghast.

He was already astounded when he realized that Ling Chen had survived his deadly combo, and now that he saw that his body was mysteriously repairing itself, he was thoroughly horror-struck this time.

Witnessing this scene, the grey robe middle-aged man quickly went from feeling shocked to being aghast. Even a peak existence like himself who lived for many years and had seen countless miracles was frightened. He had to take several steps back from the jolt.

In an instant, his pair of eyes opened wide while staring at Ling Chen"s body repairing and healing itself without him taking any healing medicinal pills. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.

However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, Ling Chen"s body was still healing himself at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, meaning that it was not only in his mind!

"This… This… is not possible…" The middle-aged man couldn"t accept what his eyes were telling him. He took a deep breath and tried to soak in this reality.

This shock and revelation were even greater when he found out that Ling Chen didn"t die after taking his G.o.d Slaying Sword Art head-on.

He could accept the fact that Ling Chen had survived his two joint attacks and was heavily injured, though it was still something unbelievable.

However, seeing that his body was repairing itself back to his previous state, he lost it. This was a hard one to swallow.

This was absolutely impossible. There was no battle technique or medicinal pills in this world that could allow people to instantly heal such heavy injuries that fast.

At this moment, the middle-aged man had a blanched expression on his face, it was as if he was seeing the most unbelievable thing in this world.

Though he was shocked by this sudden development, he was sure of one thing. He knew that he couldn"t let Ling Chen completely recovered otherwise he might even be harder to kill him this time around, or even worse, he could escape. And, who knew how strong he will get when they meet again. He didn"t dare to underestimate Ling Chen"s rapid growth as well as his weird abilities.

Furthermore, after witnessing this scene today, he was determined to kill Ling Chen no matter the cost. He was simply too dangerous to be kept alive and he had no intention of leaving such a disaster behind.

The grey robe middle-aged man"s eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent.

"Die!" He shouted as he brandished his long black sword and stabbed straight at Ling Chen from the sky.

When two peak warriors battle, they usually used their domains, battle techniques and spiritual pressure to defeat or vanquish their opponents. They barely engaged in any close combat.

However, this time the grey robe middle-aged man decided to go old school. He doubted that Ling Chen"s body could repair itself if he severed his head.

This time, his attack didn"t use any fanciful moves or battle techniques. At the same time, he used his powerful spiritual pressure to press down Ling Chen and sealed the s.p.a.ce around him, made him impossible to move or dodge his attack due to the immense pressure. He was trying to make him feel like a fish on the chopping board.

Furthermore, though he didn"t use any battle techniques, his attack was extremely fierce and swift.

His black sword seemed to have been empowered by the sun itself. Not only it was enshrouded by a terrifying sword intent, but it also pulsed with a red flame, making him seemed like a devil king descended from the sky.

However, this time Ling Chen was already prepared. He knew that the old ghost wouldn"t wait until he recovered to make his move. Not that he was blaming him, he would have done the same thing too if he was in his place.

Looking at the middle-aged flying towards him at an absolute speed with his sword aiming straight at his throat, Ling Chen did not even bother to move, nor did he try to escape the sealed s.p.a.ce created by the man"s spiritual pressure.

Swoos.h.!.+"

Without any delay, he suddenly released all the dark energy he could muster from his lower-dantian. Some of the dark energy spun around him and formed a thin st.u.r.dy layer membrane around him while the rest was used to create a huge dark cube, enclosing Ling Chen within it.

At this moment, Ling Chen was completely enclosed by the dark cube and not even his figure could be seen from either outside or within. Nonetheless, the man didn"t stop his attack.

Boom!" The dark cube suddenly quaked as the middle-aged man"s sword stabbed it. The thunderous impact could crush mountains.

Fiery sparks splattered everywhere - a scene a thousand times more majestic than fireworks at night.

The attack of the middle-aged man carried with it an ultimate penetrating force, making everything else seemed feeble.

At first, the dark cube was able to resist, but within a breath time, cracks started to appear on it and then it started to crumble like a broken mirror.

The rate at which the dark wall of the dark cube crumbled was frighteningly quick. In a mere few breaths, it tore apart the last layer of dark cube defense.

Bang!"

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged had a victory smile on his face. However, the next moment, his countenance suddenly changed. He had an ugly expression on his face.

Because instead of Ling Chen, what appeared in front of him were several long and thick dark roots shaped like spears waiting for him. With his speed and momentum, it was already too late or even impossible for him to dodge or changed the course of his direction while still in the air.

And unless he changed his direction or do something, there"s only one thing waiting for him if he collided with that many dark tree roots, death!
