220: Brutal treatment of Chen Zixuan

Phoenix Clan.

"Granny, take me to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Feng Xueqing said eagerly, her face full of anxiety and worry, her voice tinged with impatience.

"Girl, it's too late to take you there now!"

"Besides, Yang Lingchen, that kid, won't necessarily lose."

Granny Yu said, her tone as calm as possible, trying to soothe Feng Xueqing's emotions.

"I know he won't lose, of course. I'm worried that if he kills Chen Zixuan, he won't be able to escape."

Feng Xueqing said, her brows tightly knitted, her eyes full of concern for Yang Lingchen's safety.

"Girl, are you so sure that Yang Lingchen can kill Chen Zixuan?"

Granny Yu asked curiously, a trace of doubt in her eyes.

"At the same Realm, no one has ever been able to stop that scoundrel." Feng Xueqing's eyes showed a confident look, as if recalling Yang Lingchen's past glorious achievements.

"Then Granny will look forward to it. However, your father won't let you leave." Granny Yu said with a helpless sigh.

Next morning.

Before dawn, Yang Lingchen arrived early at the Challenge Stage. The surroundings were silent, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing in the empty venue.

He took this Life-and-Death Battle today very seriously; after all, his opponent was Chen Zixuan, the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Not long after Yang Lingchen arrived at the Challenge Stage, the scene began to fill with onlookers.

People arrived from all directions, their footsteps and chatter gradually breaking the morning silence.

Today's divine martial ranking Life-and-Death Battle attracted countless Genius youths to watch.

Some came with expectations for the battle, some wanted to witness the demeanor of the two experts, and others were there to learn from this battle.

Because the protagonists today were Chen Zixuan, the Young Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Yang Lingchen, a super dark horse who had recently risen on the divine martial ranking.

These two had relatively high rankings on the Tianluo Domain's divine martial ranking; Chen Zixuan was ranked nineteenth, while Yang Lingchen was ranked thirtieth.

Despite the gap in ranking, Yang Lingchen's momentum of rise was eye-catching.

"What is this Yang Lingchen's background? He actually dares to challenge Chen Zixuan!"

A young Martial Artist asked the person beside him curiously, his eyes full of doubt.

"Let me tell you! This Yang Lingchen's background is not simple. He is a super dark horse who has risen recently. He has already achieved fifteen consecutive victories on the divine martial ranking, and so far, no one has been able to withstand a single move from him."

Another Martial Artist narrated vividly, his expression full of admiration for Yang Lingchen.

"That fierce? Then how do you think Yang Lingchen's chances of winning are in today's battle?" The former continued to ask, his eyes fixed on the Challenge Stage.

"That's really hard to say. After all, the opponents Yang Lingchen has defeated still have a big gap compared to Chen Zixuan." The latter shook his head, his expression somewhat grave.

At this moment, the onlookers at the scene were discussing, all expressing their own opinions. Noisy voices intertwined in the air, forming a lively scene.

"Yang Lingchen, you have a lot of guts. You escaped with your life last time, and yet you dare to come here to die this time."

Just then, Chen Zixuan's figure flew over from afar like a giant roc spreading its wings.

Chen Zixuan's voice was full of anger and disdain, as if Yang Lingchen was just an insignificant ant in his eyes.

"I wonder if there are any Seniors from the Heavenly Sword Sect present?"

Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and looked around, his expression calm and composed, completely unaffected by Chen Zixuan's words.

"Kid, what do you want to say?"

An old man in black robes spoke, his eyes filled with scrutiny and doubt.

"Who is this Senior?" Yang Lingchen asked, cupping his hands, his tone respectful but firm.

"This seat is Chen Tianyi, Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect." Chen Tianyi said, his voice carrying a sense of majesty.

"Stinky brat, what do you want to say exactly?"

Seeing Yang Lingchen ignoring him, Chen Zixuan shouted sharply, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, the anger in his heart burning even hotter.

"Senior, I would like to ask, if I slaughter him, will your Heavenly Sword Sect be unable to accept losing?"

Yang Lingchen still ignored Chen Zixuan and looked at Chen Tianyi instead, his gaze clear and firm, as if waiting for a solemn promise.

"As long as you can win against Zixuan, our Heavenly Sword Sect will absolutely not be unable to accept losing."

Chen Tianyi said coldly, his expression serious, his tone full of confidence in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Then I can rest assured."

Yang Lingchen hooked the corner of his mouth into a playful smile, his smile carrying a trace of confidence and composure.

"Little Bastard, you are courting death."

At this moment, Chen Zixuan could no longer hold back and directly slashed out a Sword Qi. The Sword Qi tore through the Void Realm, emitting a sharp whistling sound, condensing into a twenty-meter-long battle sword, and fiercely slashed towards Yang Lingchen.

This Sword Qi contained powerful force, as if it wanted to behead Yang Lingchen in one blow.

A cold glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He swung his heaven-reaching staff, and his figure turned into an afterimage, charging towards Chen Zixuan.

His speed was as fast as lightning, instantly closing the distance with Chen Zixuan.

"Bang...!"

Chen Zixuan's terrifying Sword Qi missed and slashed directly onto the ground. A deep ravine instantly appeared on the ground, dust flew, and gravel splashed everywhere.

"Boom...!"

With a loud boom, Yang Lingchen swung his heaven-reaching staff. The intense staff energy, carrying a whistling wind, slammed directly onto Chen Zixuan's right arm that was holding the sword.

"Crack...!"

A crisp bone-breaking sound came from Chen Zixuan's right arm, and the bones of his entire right arm were smashed to pieces by Yang Lingchen. Intense pain instantly spread throughout Chen Zixuan's body, but he endured it without screaming.

He suddenly produced another sword in his left hand and slashed towards Yang Lingchen's neck again, attempting a counterattack.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen's mouth curled into a playful smile. He swung his heaven-reaching staff again, tracing an arc, and instantly slammed it onto Chen Zixuan's left arm.

"Crack...!"

Another crisp bone-breaking sound rang out, and Chen Zixuan's hands were completely crippled by Yang Lingchen.

"Ahhh...!"

Chen Zixuan let out a miserable scream and kicked out, aiming straight for Yang Lingchen's temple. This kick carried his last bit of hope and anger.

"A dying struggle!"

Yang Lingchen sneered, his heaven-reaching staff suddenly swinging out, meeting Chen Zixuan's lower leg directly.

"Crack...!"

With this bone-breaking sound, Chen Zixuan completely lost his Combat Power. He collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Yang Lingchen finished all this in just a few breaths of time.

Before everyone at the scene could react, Chen Zixuan had already had two arms and one leg crippled.

"Ahhh...!"

At this moment, Chen Zixuan let out bursts of painful wails from the corner of his mouth. He really hadn't expected that he would lose to an ant he once looked down upon.

His eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger.

Yang Lingchen, holding his heaven-reaching staff, looked down at Chen Zixuan with cold eyes and said: "Just you? You are worthy of fighting over a woman with me?"

Yang Lingchen's voice was cold and ruthless, his gaze tinged with a trace of contempt.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lingchen swung his staff and smashed it onto Chen Zixuan's other leg.

"Stop!"

Just then, a violent shout came from the air, the sound exploding like thunder.

Then, a terrifying aura, carrying endless pressure, descended from the sky and pressed towards Yang Lingchen.

"Great Emperor Realm ninth layer Peak."

A flash of ruthless intent crossed Yang Lingchen's eyes. He instantly flashed behind Chen Zixuan and grabbed his throat.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Swish...!"

A middle-aged man in a gray satin robe suddenly appeared on the Arena.

This middle-aged man in a gray satin robe was none other than Chen Tantian, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. His face was serious, and his eyes were filled with thick killing intent.

"Kid, you have already won. Let go of Xuan'er, and this seat will let you leave."

Chen Tantian looked at Yang Lingchen quietly, a powerful sense of pressure radiating from his body. If it were an ordinary Divine Martial Realm expert, they would definitely collapse and faint on the spot in the face of this pressure.

But Yang Lingchen seemed completely unaffected by this pressure.

"You must be Chen Tantian!"

Yang Lingchen gripped Chen Zixuan tightly and slowly retreated towards the Teleportation Array he had set up earlier, his eyes vigilantly staring at Chen Tantian, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"Indeed, this seat is Chen Tantian."

A flash of killing intent crossed Chen Tantian's eyes. He didn't expect Yang Lingchen to be able to ignore his Great Emperor pressure.

"The battle I had with Chen Zixuan was a divine martial ranking Life-and-Death Battle. You, as the dignified Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, wouldn't be unable to accept losing and want to attack a junior like me, right?"

Yang Lingchen's mouth hooked into a cold smile, his voice echoing in the air, full of mockery towards Chen Tantian.

As Yang Lingchen's voice fell, the scene instantly erupted into discussion.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn't really be unable to accept losing, right!"

"Yeah! This is too shameless! As a dignified Sect Leader, he actually interferes in a battle between juniors."

"Keep your voices down, this is a city under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

For a moment, the scene was abuzz with discussion, and people's gazes turned to Chen Tantian, waiting for his response.

As one of the most prominent rankings in the entire Tianfeng World, the divine martial ranking challenges also had unwritten rules, which was that Great Emperor Realm experts were not allowed to interfere in the challenges of the younger generation.

If a Great Emperor interfered in a divine martial ranking challenge of the younger generation, he would become a joke in the entire Tianfeng World, and the forces behind him would also be despised by the Martial Artists of the entire Tianfeng World.
