" I am a merciful person and do not wish to take your life. My demand is very simple. Hand over the Devouring Battle Technique and surrender yourself."

His words were even more pleasant than a melody. From the beginning, he came for Ling Chen"s devouring battle technique.

And of course, he wouldn"t let him go even after he got his hand on the battle technique. To him, Ling Chen was the most dangerous person he"s ever met because of that technique. If let alone, there"s no telling what kind of height he would reach in the future.

At this moment, Ling Chen was covered in blood, and there were cracks all over his body. The full body armor made of dark true Qi energy was really powerful and was as hard as steel, to break it was more difficult than reaching the heavens. However, that powerful full-body armor couldn"t even withstand a single attack from that old man.

Furthermore, the old man didn"t even use his full strength. This alone proved just how powerful he was.

"Surrender? I don"t have such a habit to give up before a fight even starts."

"Furthermore, now that you"ve shown me a glimpse of your power, it"s only polite to return the favor." Ling Chen said as he looked around the inner sect region that had already transformed into a dark wasteland filled with death aura with an enigmatic smile on his face.

He has been preparing that thing ever since he stepped foot into the inner sect region. It was his ultimate trump card. Now, it seemed like all the preparation were complete. There"s no need to wait any longer.

His eyes became bright, and at the same time, his bones began to shake. All the broken bones along with his muscles were connecting together once again. In a blink of an eye, all of his internal and external injuries were healed.

Upon hearing Ling Chen"s answer, the old man was confused. The little b.a.s.t.a.r.d was just a Martial Venerable realm warrior, what kinda favor could he return.

Was he talking about his insane self-recovery ability?

Aside from the old man, the remaining great elders were also confused by Ling Chen"s words.

The old man expression became cold as he answered:" Little brat if you are being too stubborn, I"m gonna have ..."

However, before the old man could even finish his sentence.

"Boom!"

A deafening blast occurred as the mountain peak where Ling Chen"s cave mansion was located was blown apart.

At the same time.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Numerous black rays suddenly came through the ground and shot toward the nearby great elders that were hovering in the sky above that mountain peak. They were as fast as lightning so they looked like numerous black lightning bolts.

However, upon closer inspection, they turned out to be numerous dark tree roots flying towards the great elders like a shuttle in the void.

"Watch out!" Shouted the ancestor upon seeing this scene.

The ancestor"s eyes turned cold and quickly summoned a b.l.o.o.d.y red sword.

Swoos.h.!.+

He swung the b.l.o.o.d.y red sword forward which sent out a crescent translucent energy wave. The old ancestor already knew what Ling Chen was trying to do. As such, he wanted to stop him.

Nonetheless, it was already too late as everyone was caught off guard with its sudden appearance.

Before they could even have the chance to scream, the numerous dark tree roots had already pierced through their chest and wrapped around the remaining great elders, quickly pulling them down.

By the time their bodies touched the ground, they had already turned into nothing but dried corpses as the numerous dark tree roots had drained their blood and life essence.

"What kind of monster is this…"

Seeing the events that transpired right before his eyes, the ancestor felt a cold chill that reverberated throughout his body!

"What the h.e.l.l are these things?" The elders and disciples watching the fight from afar were confused.

"It"s not enough." Murmured Ling Chen after the numerous dark tree roots have absorbed the blood and life essence of a more than a dozen Martial Venerable realm warrior in a blink of an eye.

"Boom!" Another deafening blast occurred and the ground shook again.

Mud and rubbles went flying as many tall and st.u.r.dy dark tree roots rose from the ground. Each one of them looked like an octopus" tentacle but was completely dark, seemingly coming from the deeps below.

"Rumble!" More explosions detonated right after this. The entire inner sect region was on the verge of collapsing as each one of the mountain peaks was being blown apart with many dark tree roots coming out of the ground.

An endless amount of dark tree roots drilled out of the ground, squirming and twisting in the air. This was quite a frightening scene

Seeing this scene, the old ancestor was startled. He had no idea how Ling Chen was able to control the endless dark tree roots that rose from the ground like a flood of darkness.

"Not good, everyone retreat!" Shouted the ancestor upon realizing Ling Chen"s intention again.

Nevertheless, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, the entire inner sect region was surrounded by a legion of dark roots. Not only that, the ground beneath has been wrapped and overtaken by countless dark tree roots as well.

It was one thing if it was only one or two dark tree roots, but there were several hundred or maybe even thousands of them, forming an army of dark tree roots.

Each one of them exuded a deathly atmosphere. Not to mention the disciples, even the old ancestor was frightened out of his wits upon seeing this scene.

At this moment, all the disciples that were outside watching the fight were immediately paralyzed where they stood. They"ve already witnessed the power of those dark tree roots when they drag down the remaining great elders and sucked them dried.

" The dark tree roots...."

Someone ghastly screamed:

"Run…"

At this moment, everyone was scared s.h.i.+tless and started running for their lives. Even the arrogant Elder Li was also deathly pale. He yelled out and turned around to escape.

"Ah…"

But as Elder Li was escaping, a thick dark tree rooted came from the ground and pierced through his back! He let out a pitiful and miserable squeal!

"Ughh…"

The dying Elder Li couldn"t believe this scene. As the root invaded his chest from the back, it sucked up all of his blood, like a leech, then it suddenly went underground.

At the same time,

"Ah…"

There was another miserable shriek. A tree root, the size of an arm, suddenly crawled out and penetrated the chest of a disciple.

" Senior Brother…"

The abrupt change happened too quickly, rendering many of his fellow disciples to be shocked.

Suddenly, all of the disciples and elders from the Inner Sect Elders" Hall that were originally watching the fight turned around and ran. At this point, they wished they could have grown another pair of legs in order to quickly flee from this place.

"Ah… Ah… a…"

At this moment, the inner sect region became h.e.l.l. Countless inner sect disciples were killed and had their blood sucked dry by the dark tree roots.

"Flee ahhh…"

Not only were the inner sect disciples in the inner sect region were running, but also the core and elites disciples who only just got here were fleeing for their lives as well. Regardless of where one was, all would turn around and run.

Ah…."

Within a blink of an eye, in the far distance, the shrill screams continued to resound time and time again. One could only see the legion of dark tree roots surrounded and killing all of the fleeing disciples.

No matter whether they were Inner sect disciples or esteemed elders, under the legion of dark tree roots, only death reigned supreme! Even a Martial Venerable Realm Warrior would just be seeing death, here. Essentially, no one could avoid one move from the endless dark tree roots unless that person could quickly fly out of the inner sect region.

At this time, there was no path to escape, the entire sect region was surrounded by the endless dark tree roots.

"Ahh

At this point, each and every one of the dark tree roots combined into a grinding millstone that swept through everything. Almost all of the disciples in the inner sect region were wiped out!

At this moment, the ancestor finally understood what Ling Chen meant when he said he would return the favor by showing him a glimpse of his power as well.

This was truly a devilish ability!

After seeing the deaths of so many disciples, the ancestor crazily shouted: " Little brat, you leave with no choice!"

At this moment, his fury was untethered and he didn"t care for anything else. He wouldn"t mind killing Ling Chen even though he won"t be able to get the Devouring Battle Technique from him anymore.

"Die!" The old ancestor roared as his figure suddenly disappeared from the sky. At this point, he was ready to ma.s.sacre Ling Chen.

Too fast!

The old ancestor was simply too fast that even Ling Chen had troubled seeing his moment with his eye power.

Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce in front of Ling Chen rippled a little, after which the old ancestor appeared, holding his b.l.o.o.d.y red sword in his hand.

His eyes were filled with overwhelming killing intent, without saying anything, his b.l.o.o.d.y red sword was already slas.h.i.+ng out at an amazing speed, like a bolt of lightning.

Shua!

The b.l.o.o.d.y red sword directly pa.s.sed through Ling Chen"s neck. However, instead of Ling Chen"s head flying off his body, it was a long dark tree root that was cut in half. Ling Chen"s body was nowhere to be seen.

Though the ancestor was startled by this sudden development, he didn"t dwell on it as he quickly released his powerful spiritual sense to locate Ling Chen"s location.

Swoos.h.!.+

After scanning the entire Inner sect region, the old ancestor finally found Ling Chen"s whereabouts.

"d.a.m.n it, does this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d really want to ma.s.sacre all the disciples in the Inner Sect Region to increase his strength." Angrily roared out the ancestor as he flew into the direction of the Inner Sect Elder"s Hall where Ling Chen was killing the remaining inner sect disciples and elders with his own hand.

As though they were playing mouse and cat, the moment the old ancestor made to the location where Ling Chen was chopping off his disciples as though they were cabbage, he found out that Ling Chen had already disappeared again.

However, before could even he release his spiritual sense to search for Ling Chen again;

"Ahh—"

Suddenly, there was a miserable shriek which soon followed by many pitiful bellowings in the far distance.

"f.u.c.k! That little b.a.s.t.a.r.d went to the Core Sect region." Cursed out the old ancestor as he quickly flew into the direction of the Core Sect region with an ugly look on his face.

As the old ancestor was making his way in the core sect region in haste, he suddenly stopped his track. At the same time, his body was trembling uncontrollably. The expression on his face was as if he had just seen a ghost.

The ancestor was so frightened that he almost fell on the ground.

"Swoos.h.!.+

At the same time, an overwhelming powerful aura that seemed capable of destroying the Heaven and Earth suddenly swept the entire Supreme Sword Dao Sect.
