Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 754 - 752: Plum Blossom Sword Formation_1

Seeing Shen Qianlang's sudden, grief-stricken expression, the group from Hanmei Villa felt rather bewildered. They had been pursuing Shen Qianlang for a long time. He had always maintained a carefree, cheerful demeanor, but now he had suddenly changed, as if he were a completely different person.

"Hmph, don't think you can fool us by crying and sniveling, Shen Qianlang. You've committed an unforgivable crime. Today, you must return with us to Hanmei Villa to face judgment."

The young man with a righteous air on his face took a step forward and declared sternly.

"But the matter hasn't been fully investigated yet," Ling Chen replied, frowning. "If concrete evidence shows Shen Qianlang was responsible, we won't shield him. But if there's no evidence and you want him to be the scapegoat, I will not agree."

"Who do you think you are? Since you insist on meddling in the affairs of Hanmei Villa, don't blame us for being discourteous!"

The young man's expression darkened. Not agree? Who did Ling Chen think he was to interfere in Hanmei Villa's business?

"Such an Overbearing Style! I'll handle this matter today."

Ling Chen was quite displeased by the young man's Overbearing Style. He had already offended powerful forces like the Tang Sect and Capture God. Why would he care about offending a minor Hanmei Villa?

"You're seeking death!"

A chilling glint flashed in the young man's eyes as he made the first move, lunging with his sword straight at Ling Chen's brow without a word.

With a cold glance, Ling Chen simply flicked two fingers out.

CLANG!

The ray of light from his fingers accurately struck the blade of the young man's Long Sword, jolting it from his grasp. The Long Sword flew into the air and embedded itself in the trunk of a nearby tree.

"What?"

The young man was caught completely off guard; his Long Sword had been sent flying. By the time he reacted, his hands were empty. His vision blurred, and then a sword scabbard appeared before him, striking him sharply in the chest with lightning speed.

He was sent flying backward like a sandbag. After soaring several tens of meters, the young man finally came to a stop, a suffocating sensation tightening his chest.

"Junior Ling Zhen! Are you alright?!"

The people from Hanmei Villa hurriedly rushed to support the young man.

The young man named Ling Zhen's eyes darkened. He then secretly struck his own abdomen, causing a spurt of blood to erupt from his mouth.

"These bastards killed our Young Villa Owner, show no regard for Hanmei Villa, and even attacked me so viciously! Elder sisters, there's no need to be polite with him anymore. Kill him! Otherwise, the world will look down on Hanmei Villa!"

Ling Zhen wore an expression of stern righteousness.

"Your Excellency, your attack was rather vicious, wasn't it?" Miaoyin stared at Ling Chen with a cold gaze, while the others from Hanmei Villa also looked at him with clear hostility.

"If I had truly intended to be harsh, he would be dead by now."

Seeing this, Ling Chen couldn't help but frown. He had used less than a third of his strength and had pulled back his power at the last moment; there was no way his strike could have caused Ling Zhen any real injury. His severe injury was clearly faked.

"What an arrogant fellow!"

Miaoyin, Xuan Yu, and the others' expressions turned grim. Ling Chen had injured one of their own and showed no remorse. Instead, he grew even more defiant. To them, Ling Chen was undoubtedly a brazen troublemaker, intentionally provoking them.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Under the leadership of Miaoyin and Xuan Yu, six Hanmei Villa Disciples formed a Sword Formation, encircling Ling Chen and his companions. They drew their swords almost simultaneously. The formation of six people resembled a giant plum blossom rapidly spinning on the ground.

"Plum Blossom Sword Formation!"

Looking at the sword qi surging around like tidal waves, Shen Qianlang's face became extremely solemn. He had suffered at their hands before, nearly being captured by this Sword Formation, and had only escaped by a stroke of luck. Seeing them deploy the Sword Formation again, his face turned pale with fright.

"All of you, stay back!"

Just as Shen Qianlang was about to explain the Plum Blossom Sword Formation to Ling Chen, the latter spoke this single phrase and then abruptly sprang forward!

"This Brother Ling Chen is too impulsive. He's going to suffer a great loss."

Shen Qianlang was anxious, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The power of the Plum Blossom Sword Formation is not to be trifled with. Ling Chen rushed out rashly without discussing a plan to break the formation with them. It's like an egg striking a stone.

"Suffer a great loss? I think it's someone else who will be suffering."

Ling Yin appeared calm and unhurried, as if she had everything under control.

"You don't understand how formidable these sisters are."

Shen Qianlang gave a bitter smile and continued, "Both Miaoyin and Xuan Yu are Direct Disciples of Hanmei Villa's Villa Owner. Their Swordsmanship comes directly from his teachings. Not to mention our Cultivation is inferior to theirs; even if our Cultivation were higher, I'm afraid it would still be difficult to defeat them."

Miaoyin and Xuan Yu were both at the Sky Apex Realm Second Layer. However, when they joined forces, their strength could increase exponentially.

Ling Chen had just come to a halt when dazzling sword lights targeted him. A fierce Sword Momentum swept towards him head-on.

"Plum Blossom Triple Strike!"

"Cold Plum's Pride in Snow!"

Accompanied by sharp cries, two lines of sword light ruthlessly assailed Ling Chen. Sword qi shot out in all directions, like plum blossoms scattering in the air.

The plum blossom-like sword qi served only to confuse and distract. From within the scattering plum blossoms, one stream of sword qi suddenly split into three, shooting directly at Ling Chen.

At the same time, a Sword Light, resembling a coiling snake, pierced towards Ling Chen's back at an astonishing speed.

And from other directions, faint sword qi also shot towards Ling Chen.

All the sword qi seemed to be hidden behind a curtain of plum blossoms, stealthily attacking Ling Chen.

"Damn it!"

Shen Qianlang's expression changed drastically. The opponents' offensive was far fiercer than he had imagined. The power of this Plum Blossom Sword Formation was also considerably stronger than when he had last encountered it.

It seemed that when they used this Sword Formation against him last time, they hadn't unleashed its full potential. Perhaps they thought he wasn't worthy of it.

Just as his expression turned a little unsightly, Ling Chen, who was surrounded by the Sword Formation and enveloped by numerous lethal threats, suddenly showed a calm smile. Then, Shen Qianlang heard a crisp sound: a crimson Treasure Sword was unsheathed. Ling Chen simply swept the Treasure Sword. A hot sword wind gusted out, and all the plum blossoms instantly melted, turning into droplets of water that sprinkled down. The Sword Lights that followed were immediately exposed, clear for all to see.

"What?"

Watching Ling Chen defuse the crisis so effortlessly, Shen Qianlang's mouth hung wide open in surprise. He could never have imagined such a maneuver was possible! Ling Chen's move was like a stroke of genius. Anyone who saw it would find it incredible.
