777: First Battle with Ling Chen

“This won't do!”

Xiao Lingchen's eyes were cold as he thought to himself.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something. One of his pupils transformed into a whirlpool, while the other manifested red tomoe. His Reincarnation Eye and Scarlet Jade Divine Pupil instantly appeared!

In that instant, Xiao Lingchen's vision surged, and everything around him became incredibly clear!

Even the slightest clues could not escape Xiao Lingchen's Dual Divine Pupils!

“Found you!”

The next second.

A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Lingchen's eyes. Chaos Qi and Supreme Divine Flame suddenly ignited on the blade of the Devouring Abyss Black Sword!

“Slash!”

Xiao Lingchen swung his sword horizontally, and a massive Sword Qi, interwoven with Chaos Qi and Supreme Divine Flame, instantly cleaved out.

Wherever it passed, the Vicious Beasts in front were all devoured by the Sword Qi.

In just an instant, a huge gap was torn open in the beast tide.

“Clang!”

A crisp metallic clash rang out, and the Void Realm suddenly rippled intensely!

A figure dressed in plain white clothes was forced to reveal herself!

Who else could this person be but Nangong Wushuang?

She had been Cultivating the Myriad Paths Divine Eyes with Old Matriarch Tanhua. Two days prior, sensing Xiao Lingchen's aura, she rushed over, intending to seek revenge.

She hadn't expected...

The Vicious Beasts she conjured with her Myriad Paths Divine Eyes were seen through by Xiao Lingchen in a single glance, allowing him to find her hidden location!

“It's you?”

Xiao Lingchen naturally recognized Nangong Wushuang, and a cold killing intent erupted in his eyes:

“The Hidden Nangong Family was already annihilated. I didn't expect you to escape.”

“I haven't even settled old scores with you, yet you dare to deliver yourself to your death?”

Nangong Wushuang held the Azure Phoenix Sword and slashed fiercely.

After separating herself from Xiao Lingchen by several body-lengths.

Her hatred also soared to the heavens:

“Xiao Lingchen! You destroyed my Nangong Family, killed my kin. How can this grudge not be avenged?!”

“Today, I specifically came to seek revenge. Now that I have Cultivated peerless Divine Abilities, it's not certain who will live and who will die!”

As her voice fell, Nangong Wushuang's eyes suddenly lit up with a complex divine pattern; it was her Myriad Paths Divine Eyes demonstrating their power!

Everything around them suddenly changed. The original ten-thousand-zhang high sky now became a battlefield ravaged by sandstorms.

This was the Myriad Paths Divine Eyes, one of the myriad Dao laws, the Absolute Domain!

Those who entered this Domain were constantly attacked by the Domain's consciousness.

At the same time, her Myriad Paths Divine Eyes could also weaken Xiao Lingchen's strength, restrict his movements, and even directly confiscate the weapon in his hand.

In short, its uses were endless!

This was Nangong Wushuang's confidence in seeking revenge from Xiao Lingchen!

Upon entering this Absolute Domain, the sky-high yellow sand instantly transformed into thousands of human residual souls, attacking Xiao Lingchen.

Xiao Lingchen immediately slashed with his sword, only to find that the Devouring Abyss Black Sword in his hand was somewhat out of his control.

He felt as if it wanted to fly out of his grasp!

At the same time, he also sensed that his own Cultivation strength was being severely suppressed.

“This place is truly strange!”

Xiao Lingchen's heart couldn't help but grow several shades more solemn.

He dared not be careless.

Instantly, he unleashed all his methods, boosting his own strength to deal with the surging thousands of human residual souls!

For a time, his figure shifted, sword light flashed, and the attacking thousands of human residual souls were slain one by one by Xiao Lingchen!

How astonishing were Xiao Lingchen's methods? In just a few breaths, he had slain all the sky-high human residual souls!

However, before he could even catch his breath, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind him!

Under the extreme vision of his Dual Divine Pupils, he saw Nangong Wushuang suddenly ambush him from thin air within the yellow sand!

The angle was tricky, making it impossible to guard against!

The Azure Phoenix Sword glowed with a chilling blue light, its tip pointing directly at the vital spot in his back.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingchen sneered.

However, he made no move to dodge. Instead, he gripped the Devouring Abyss Black Sword, turned sharply, and slashed towards Nangong Wushuang!

The golden Supreme Divine Flame and white Chaos Qi surged on the sword blade. The Sword Qi was fierce, seemingly intent on perishing together with Nangong Wushuang!

“Naive!”

Seeing this, Nangong Wushuang's lips curved into a sneer.

Her sword was delivered before Xiao Lingchen's, only half a foot from Xiao Lingchen's back, while Xiao Lingchen's sword was still in mid-air.

At this speed, she was certain she could pierce his heart with her sword before Xiao Lingchen's sword could harm her!

“Xiao Lingchen, die!”

Nangong Wushuang's mood couldn't help but grow excited, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

This revenge was even easier than she had imagined!

However, the next second, the smile on Nangong Wushuang's face suddenly froze.

She was horrified to discover that her Azure Phoenix Sword had passed directly through Xiao Lingchen's body without encountering any obstruction, as if she had only stabbed a phantom!

And Xiao Lingchen's Devouring Abyss Black Sword, at this moment, had arrived before her with overwhelming power!

The golden Divine Flame had already scorched her hair, almost reaching her cheek!

“How is this possible?!”

Nangong Wushuang paled in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had clearly locked onto Xiao Lingchen's aura, so how could she have missed?

But at this moment, she clearly had no time to think further; Xiao Lingchen's sword was already within reach.

Nangong Wushuang subconsciously dodged to the side, and at the same time, flipped her left hand, and the Ink Shadow Dagger appeared in her hand, blocking in front of her.

“Clang!”

The clash of metal was ear-piercing, sparks flying everywhere!

Xiao Lingchen's full-power slash, containing the terrifying power of Supreme Divine Flame and Chaos Qi, caused the Ink Shadow, though an Immortal Artifact with thirty-six Restrictions, to hum incessantly!

Nangong Wushuang only felt a colossal force, like mountains toppling and seas overturning, transmit through the dagger, splitting the skin between her thumb and forefinger and numbing her arm.

She was shaken back repeatedly, stumbling and crashing against the yellow sand barrier at the edge of the Domain, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, the cold light in Xiao Lingchen's eyes intensified. He gave her no chance to catch her breath.

His footwork shifted, his figure like lightning, instantly closing in on Nangong Wushuang.

The Devouring Abyss Black Sword was raised above his head, and he slashed down fiercely towards Nangong Wushuang's head without hesitation!

Nangong Wushuang's pupils contracted. Looking at the approaching sword edge, a feeling of death surged into her heart.

In her desperation, the Myriad Paths Divine Eyes in her eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and she shouted sharply:

“Xiao Lingchen! Stop!”

This voice was not Nangong Wushuang's, but that of Xiao Lingchen's mother, Zhao Fuling.

Even Nangong Wushuang's figure suddenly changed; her plain white clothes transformed into a familiar green long dress, and her face became the likeness of Xiao Lingchen's mother, Zhao Fuling!

“Mother?”

Xiao Lingchen's sword-wielding motion abruptly paused, a trace of bewilderment flashing in his eyes.

But very quickly, Xiao Lingchen realized that the person before him was not his mother at all; what he saw was merely Nangong Wushuang's disguise!

Realizing this, the killing intent in Xiao Lingchen's eyes grew even stronger.

However...

His brief moment of bewilderment had caused him to miss the best opportunity.

A cold, triumphant sneer flashed in her eyes.

The yellow sand in the Domain instantly boiled, surging towards Xiao Lingchen like a rushing tide!
