However, Ling Chen was not satisfied. This level was enough for facing enemies, but not enough for the Flight of the Sword.

But fortunately, Ling Chen's Sword Spirit Embryo was strong enough. He only needed more training to further improve his Sword Controlling Technique.

Ling Tingfeng watched all of this from the side. Just as he was about to step forward and ask Ling Chen, suddenly, a ray of light shot in from outside the Ancestor Pavilion, incredibly fast, and Ling Tingfeng reacted even faster, already reaching out and catching the ray of light in his hand.

It turned out to be a sword-shaped message talisman.

The moment Ling Tingfeng received the message talisman, his expression changed, obviously having received some bad news.

"You all stay here and don't go out. I'll be back soon."

Ling Tingfeng instructed Ling Chen and the other six, then immediately leaped out of the Ancestor Pavilion.

This scene was naturally seen by Ling Chen. It seemed that those guys from the Witch Fiend Sect had started their action.

"What's wrong with the Family Head, leaving in such a hurry?"

Watching Ling Tingfeng leave quickly, Ling Hai couldn't help but express his surprise.

"Probably there's some urgent matter that needs to be handled."

Ling Yuxuan said indifferently.

"Doesn't this mean our opportunity has arrived?"

Ling Feng whispered, a hint of coldness appearing on his face.

Hearing this, Ling Yuxuan's pupils contracted. He naturally understood what Ling Feng meant. His gaze immediately turned to the figure sitting cross-legged nearby, manipulating the Red Sky Sword, with a fierce gleam emerging in his eyes.

Ling Tingfeng was not here, and Ling Chen seemed unguarded. Now was undoubtedly the perfect chance to strike at Ling Chen. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"If we kill him here, will there be any problem? Will the Family Head demand we pay with our lives?"

Ling Yuxuan was still hesitant to say.

"Impossible."

Ling Hai shook his head, "This kid has no backing in the family. If he's killed, he's killed; no one will stand up for him. As for the Family Head, he has to consider the family. Once we succeed in killing Ling Yu, then the Ling Family's peerless genius will only be you, Second Brother. Even if the Family Head wants to kill you to avenge Ling Yu, the Elder and Great Elder won't agree."

"Besides, the Family Head doesn't have evidence to prove that we killed him. Without evidence, and with Elder Branch's protection, the Family Head won't be able to do anything to us. Let's kill Ling Yu first and then Ling Xue. If there's only Ling Han Ye left, he probably won't betray us."

"Yes, Second Brother, this Ling Yu is too much of a threat. In just a few months, he's already taken your position as the family's number one genius. If we continue delaying, the consequences will be unimaginable. You'll never be able to hold your head high. Right now is a great opportunity to get rid of this brat. Miss it, and there won't be another chance." Ling Feng also added fuel to the fire from the side.

Under their strong persuasion, Ling Yuxuan's eyes gradually turned cold. He had long harbored murderous intent toward Ling Chen, just lacked the opportunity.

Standing up, Ling Yuxuan flipped his palm, revealing the cold edge of a Treasure Sword.

Without hesitation, Ling Yuxuan directly thrust his sword towards Ling Chen's back.

"Ling Yu, prepare to die."

Seeing this, Ling Hai grinned, a cruel expression appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Ling Yuxuan was filled with murderous intent. In a blink, the sword was at Ling Chen's back.

Just as it seemed Ling Chen would be assassinated by this sword, suddenly, with a "clang," sparks flew. The Red Sky Sword that had been suspended in front of Ling Chen suddenly turned and came to Ling Chen's back, deflecting Ling Yuxuan's sword light.

This startled Ling Xue and Ling Han Ye.

"Ling Yuxuan, what are you doing?"

Ling Xue's pretty face sank, furious in her heart. Ling Yuxuan was simply No Heaven, daring to make a move against Ling Chen in the Ancestor Pavilion, attempting to kill him. Such audacity!

She was just about to step forward when Ling Feng and Ling Hai blocked her, even Ling Han Ye, at their signal, drew his sword and pointed it at Ling Xue.

"Ling Xue, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle."

Ling Hai said sinisterly.

The three of them together might not be able to kill Ling Xue, so Ling Hai wanted to temporarily settle Ling Xue, then kill Ling Chen first, and then kill Ling Xue.

"Ling Yu, die!"

On the other side, completely ignoring Ling Xue's questions, after missing one strike, Ling Yuxuan slashed again, unleashing the Sky-breaking Sword Technique, clearly intending to kill Ling Chen before he could catch his breath.

"The one who will die is probably you."

Ling Chen's eyes flashed with coldness. Although he intended to take the Saint's Soul Niche, he had planned to subdue these people but hadn't thought of killing them. However, now he changed his mind.

Since these people wanted his life, they couldn't blame him for being ruthlessly merciless!

With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Ling Chen's Sword Momentum erupted like a flood and beast. Ling Yuxuan's Sky-breaking Sword Technique seemed strong but under the overwhelming impact of Ling Chen's Sword Momentum, it instantly shrunk, with only half its power remaining when it reached Ling Chen.

Seizing the momentum, Ling Chen suddenly swung his sword, unleashing the full power of Blazing Thunder Cut.

Clang!

Ling Yuxuan's sword qi was shattered upon impact, and Ling Chen's sword qi slashed onto Ling Yuxuan's sword, sparks flew, and Ling Yuxuan's Treasure Sword was directly shaken out of his hand.

"What?"

Ling Yuxuan was greatly surprised, but before the shock on his face subsided, Ling Chen extended his fingers in the air, and a Flying Sword enveloped in thunder light suddenly flashed before Ling Yuxuan, piercing through his Protective True Qi at an unexpected speed, with a "pfft" sound, and directly into Ling Yuxuan's chest.

Blood spurted wildly, and Ling Yuxuan flew backward in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had thought he could assassinate Ling Chen in a flash, but couldn't expect Ling Chen's incredibly fast reaction. Or was Ling Chen already on guard, prepared, otherwise how could he lose so miserably?

"Second Brother!"

Ling Hai and Ling Feng's faces changed dramatically, shouting in astonishment, they were about to rush forward, when with a "whoosh," a crimson Flying Sword shot forth, "pfft," rapidly slicing across Ling Feng's neck.

A line of blood spurted out, Ling Feng remained standing, his neck tilted, his head falling to the ground.

At the moment of death, his mouth remained wide open, still in shock, unable to react before his head was chopped off, blood spraying three feet.

"You beast! You dared to kill Ling Feng!"

Ling Hai's eyes bulged out, watching Ling Feng's head fall, terrified to the extreme, and furious beyond limit. Ling Feng was killed. He never imagined Ling Chen would dare strike at them, for in his eyes, Ling Chen was just a lowly Branch Family disciple. How could he possess such courage?
