"Do you think you can live?"

Ling Chen flicked his finger, and the blood-stained Red Sky Sword returned to his hand. Yet, in just an instant, Ling Chen loosened his grip, and the Red Sky Sword turned into a flying sword, shooting out again.

Ling Hai's expression changed dramatically, but with his strength, how could he possibly evade Ling Chen's flying sword? No matter how he retreated, that flying sword still pierced through his Protective True Qi and then viciously penetrated his body.

Boom!

Ling Hai's body fell to the ground. Even until his death, his face still bore an expression of utter horror. He hadn't expected Ling Chen to be so ruthless, daredevil enough to kill Ling Feng and then even dare to set his killer hand on him.

Unfortunately, when he wanted to beg for forgiveness, it was too late!

This time, Ling Chen didn't give him any chance!

"Ling Yu! How dare you kill Ling Hai and Ling Feng, you're crazy! Killing your own kin is a heinous crime beyond redemption. You're done for, you're doomed!"

Ling Yuxuan watched as Ling Feng and Ling Hai fell in succession, blood incessantly flowing from the corners of his mouth, and madness erupted in his eyes.

At this moment, Ling Xue was completely immersed in shock. She too never imagined that Ling Chen would actually set his hand on Ling Feng and Ling Hai. Anyway, these two were the geniuses of the Ling Family. Now that Ling Chen has killed them, how could the Elder Branch let this pass?!

"Doomed? Even if I die, you'll die before me."

Ling Chen had already decided to kill and couldn't leave a threat, creating trouble for himself. He might as well go all the way!

He wasn't cruel or bloodthirsty, but against an enemy who wanted to put him to death, he would not be soft-hearted!

With a thought, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly shot out a gleam, and the Red Sky Sword flew out, under his intense urging, as fast as a startling flash!

Seeing this, Ling Yuxuan's complexion turned pale. Just now, Ling Chen had easily broken his Protective True Qi with the Thunder Sound Sword, causing severe injury with ease. Now, with this sword, how could he block it?!

"Ling Chen, stop!"

Seeing the flying sword about to slash Ling Yuxuan's head off, Ling Xue hurriedly shouted sharply. If only Ling Feng and Ling Hai were killed, there would still be room for maneuver, but if Ling Chen were to kill Ling Yuxuan as well, then there truly would be no turning back, and Ling Chen and the Elder Branch would be locked in a blood feud, relentless.

In the Elder Branch, there were many strong individuals, and it had a Great Elder. Even if Ling Tingfeng wanted to protect Ling Chen, it might not be possible, and the Elder Branch would definitely retaliate against Ling Chen wildly, putting him to death.

However, Ling Chen seemed to be paying no heed to Ling Xue's shout at all. The speed of that flying sword was not slower but faster, and with a sudden flicker in Ling Chen's eyes, the flying sword made a turn, unexpectedly bypassing Ling Yuxuan, then abruptly reversed and fiercely pierced into Ling Yuxuan's back!

"Ling Yu, you're... doomed..."

Though Ling Yuxuan had his heart pierced, he still mustered his last strength to roar. His eyes stared fixedly at Ling Chen, and he laughed in the end. Though Ling Chen killed him, the Elder Branch will certainly not let Ling Chen go, and surely will avenge him!

Soon, this kid will be going down to the Netherworld to accompany him.

"Madness, madness!"

Seeing the three bloody corpses on the ground, Ling Han Ye felt like he was about to collapse. This perfectly fine Ancestral Hall turned into such a blood-soaked slaughterhouse. More unbelievable was that Ling Chen killed all three of Ling Yuxuan, turning into a devil. No, he must inform the outsiders about what's happening here!

With a swift step, Ling Han Ye dashed out towards the outside of the Ancestral Hall.

A cold gleam flickered in Ling Chen's eyes as he pointed the sword, and the Thunder Sound Sword that was lodged in Ling Yuxuan flew up, transforming into a streak of thunder light and shooting out swiftly.

Slash!

No matter how fast Ling Han Ye was, how could he be faster than Ling Chen's controlled flying sword? Just as he reached the Ancestral Hall door, the flying sword transformed from the Red Sky Sword shot violently, piercing through Ling Han Ye's chest, exploding into a blood blossom at his chest.

Ling Han Ye, dead!

Watching Ling Han Ye fall to the ground, Ling Xue's face changed color drastically. Dead, all dead, Ling Chen actually killed them all. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Ling Yu, you were too impulsive!"

Ling Xue bit her silver teeth, although it was Ling Yuxuan who started it first, in the end, it was Ling Yuxuan and the other three who died, which included Ling Han Ye, meaning that nearly half of the young generation's top talents were slaughtered by Ling Chen.

And having killed Ling Han Ye, the only witness was also gone. Whatever she said in defense of Ling Chen probably wouldn't be believed, but having Ling Han Ye would at least make their words more credible, try harder to have Ling Tingfeng protect Ling Chen. Even heavy punishment seemed inevitable, but life could be preserved.

Now that Ling Chen killed everyone, how could he stand in the Ling Family moving forward?

Yet Ling Chen had no such worries, as if he had just killed a few dogs; with a stretch of his hand, "swish", "swish", the Red Sky Sword and Thunder Sound Sword returned to their sheaths one after another.

"Ling Yu, we must go find the Family Head and the Third Elder, tell them what happened here."

Ling Xue hurriedly came before Ling Chen. At this moment, only quickly seeking aid from Patriarch Ling Tingfeng was the best option.

"It's not necessary."

Ling Chen shook his head.

"It's necessary. You probably don't know the severity of killing them. Ling Yuxuan is dead, and the Elder Branch will go crazy, they'll spare no cost to take your life."

An anxious expression surfaced on Ling Xue's pretty face.

Hearing this, Ling Chen felt a bit touched. At this critical moment, Ling Xue was still trying to find a way for him, and it was very precious.

"Thank you, Sister Ling Xue, sorry."

Suddenly a gleam flashed through Ling Chen's eyes, he appeared behind Ling Xue in a flash, and delivered a palm strike to the back of Ling Xue's neck, knocking her unconscious.

Embracing Ling Xue's body, Ling Chen put her down gently beside him, sighing deeply. Once the bow was drawn, there was no turning back; Ling Chen had no retreat now. Having done it, he had to see it through.

With a resolute and decisive gleam in his eyes, Ling Chen turned and approached the stone statue, focusing on the Black Box that radiated a continuous blue glow.

Saint's Soul Niche.

Ling Chen reached out to take it, but suddenly a shocking repulsive force erupted around that niche, rendering Ling Chen unable to retrieve the Saint's Soul Niche smoothly.

"The Saint's Soul Niche is guarded by this stone statue. You must destroy the statue to take the Saint's Soul Niche," the Human Emperor's voice echoed in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen also looked at the imposing stone statue and then took a deep breath, bowing to it, "Pardon me!"

Even if this was the stone statue of the first Patriarch of the Ling Family, it couldn't be helped for obtaining the Saint's Soul Niche.

Ling Chen drew his Red Sky Sword, quickly slicing the statue into pieces, simultaneously dispelling the barrier guarding the Saint's Soul Niche.

With a palm strike from afar, Ling Chen retrieved the Saint's Soul Niche, a supremely intense soul aura radiating from it as Ling Chen stored the Saint's Soul Niche in the Heavenly Mansion Ring, and then quickly left the Ling Family Ancestral Hall.
