235: The Heavenly Sword Sect is attacking.

Juntian City, City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, Wang Musheng was surrounded by a group of high-ranking members of Ling Tian Pavilion. He was covered in blood, with every wound oozing fresh blood, staining his clothes red.

Even so, he did not fall. Instead, he leaned with difficulty against a stone pillar in the City Lord's Mansion, gasping for breath, yet his eyes still shone with an unyielding light.

By now, he was severely injured and had no Combat Power left; it felt as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

"Xiao Yanlong, Juntian City and your Ling Tian Pavilion have had no grievances in the past, nor any grudges in the present. Are you really going to destroy my Juntian City just for the sake of one Core Disciple?"

Wang Musheng said with difficulty. Every word seemed to exhaust all his strength, but his tone was filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Wang Musheng, of course I wouldn't destroy Juntian City just for one Core Disciple. I just have my eye on the cake that is Juntian City. I'll give you one last chance: submit or die."

Xiao Yanlong said coldly, a greedy look on his face, as if Juntian City were already in his pocket.

"Xiao Yanlong, even if I die, I will never submit to a despicable person like you."

Wang Musheng spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with determination.

"Since you are courting death, then I shall grant your wish."

Xiao Yanlong swung the battle sword in his hand, and a wave of Sword Qi, carrying a biting aura, slashed toward Wang Musheng. The Sword Qi was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the sky with the resolve to kill.

"Swish...!"

Just then, a heaven-shaking sword beam descended from the sky, directly severing Xiao Yanlong's biting Sword Qi. The light was so dazzling that one could not look directly at it.

Immediately after, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Wang Musheng.

"Father, are you alright?"

Wang Chen hurriedly supported his father, his face full of concern and anxiety, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Chen'er, why have you returned?"

Wang Musheng said worriedly, his voice weak, yet still filled with concern for his son.

"Yang Lingchen, you have finally appeared."

At this moment, Ning Bufan recognized Yang Lingchen, his voice tinged with a hint of surprise and fear.

"Today, you all must die."

Yang Lingchen's eyes were filled with thick killing intent. His gaze was like a torch, as if it could burn the enemies before him to ashes.

"You are Yang Lingchen? You certainly have guts. After killing a Core Disciple of my Ling Tian Pavilion, you still dare to show yourself."

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Yanlong's mouth. He tried to remain calm, but the trace of panic in his eyes betrayed the fear in his heart.

"I can't be bothered to waste words with you! Go to Hell!"

Yang Lingchen swung his immortal demon sword. Instantly, a white light flashed by, and the terrifying Sword Qi seemed to tear the air apart. In an instant, it slashed before Xiao Yanlong. The Sword Qi was extremely fast and its power was astonishing.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanlong's face showed a look of horror, and he hurriedly swung his sword to block. But his movements appeared so slow and weak in the face of Yang Lingchen's attack.

"Clang...!"

With a 'clang', this heaven-shaking sword strike from Yang Lingchen directly severed the battle sword in Xiao Yanlong's hand. The broken sword flew off and landed on the ground, making a crisp sound.

Furthermore, this sharp Sword Qi did not stop at all, instantly slashing down from the top of Xiao Yanlong's head.

"How can you be this strong?"

Xiao Yanlong's eyes revealed a look of unwillingness. As his voice trailed off, his body was instantly split in two, and blood scattered all over the ground. The bloody scene was chilling.

The members of Ling Tian Pavilion watched this scene in shock. They truly could not believe that their Pavilion Master had not even lasted a single move in Yang Lingchen's hands. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

At this moment, everyone lost the courage to fight.

"If you commit suicide, you can at least keep your bodies intact."

Yang Lingchen's voice, heard by the members of Ling Tian Pavilion, was like a messenger from Hell claiming their lives, making one's hair stand on end. His voice was cold, without the slightest emotion.

"Everyone, attack together! Kill him!"

Ning Bufan gritted his teeth and roared. His voice carried a hint of despair and madness.

"Kill him."

With Ning Bufan's roar, the members of Ling Tian Pavilion one by one brandished their swords and charged at Yang Lingchen, their expressions twisted, as if they had lost their sanity.

Although Yang Lingchen's strength was formidable, compared to committing suicide, they preferred to risk their lives against Yang Lingchen. After all, by fighting, there might be a glimmer of hope.

"I intended to leave your bodies intact, but since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Cold light flared in Yang Lingchen's eyes. His figure became like a whirlwind, instantly charging into the midst of the Ling Tian Pavilion members. His speed was as fast as lightning, making it impossible to track him.

At that moment, cold light flickered and Sword Qi ravaged the area. Yang Lingchen was like a tireless killing machine; wherever he went, severed limbs flew through the air, and the scent of blood filled the air, making one nauseous.

"Ah...! A devil, he is a devil."

At this moment, shrill wails resounded throughout Juntian City. The sounds were like screams from Hell, making one's hair stand on end.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the high-ranking members of Ling Tian Pavilion at the scene, except for Ning Bufan, had been completely slaughtered. The ground covered in blood and corpses made it feel as if one were in a slaughterhouse.

"After hunting me down for so long, how do you want to die?"

Yang Lingchen curled his lips into a cold sneer, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain.

"Yang Lingchen, after destroying Ling Tian Pavilion, don't think you will have an easy time."

Ning Bufan said coldly, his voice laced with despair and curses.

"Swish... swish... swish...!"

"Since you like to act tough, I'll leave you your dog's life so you can keep acting."

Yang Lingchen instantly slashed out several times, directly severing all four of Ning Bufan's limbs and piercing his Dantian with Sword Qi. Ning Bufan let out a painful scream, collapsed to the ground, his life or death unknown.

At this moment, Wang Musheng was also completely shocked by Yang Lingchen's strength. He widened his eyes, unable to believe everything that was happening before him.

Supported by Wang Chen, he walked up to Yang Lingchen, cupped his hands, and said, "Many thanks to Young Friend Yang for saving my life." His voice was filled with gratitude and admiration.

"Uncle Wang, you are too polite. I am friends with Wang Chen, and besides, today's incident was caused by me," Yang Lingchen said, a smile appearing on his face.

"No... no... no, this matter has nothing to do with Young Friend Yang. Ling Tian Pavilion had long been eyeing our Juntian City; everything else was just an excuse," Wang Musheng hurriedly shook his head, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"Father, where is my mother?"

Wang Chen asked, his face full of worry and anxiety.

"Rest assured, they are very safe now. Before Ling Tian Pavilion arrived, I already had her take the younger generation of the Family and hide," Wang Musheng said, his voice filled with reassurance.

"That's good."

Wang Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief, a smile of relief appearing on his face.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen also felt a bit of admiration for Wang Musheng. In such a critical moment, he did not choose to run away alone, but stayed behind to fight a lonely battle, letting his wife take the younger generation of the Family to hide first.

This kind of courage and sense of responsibility made Yang Lingchen look at him with new respect.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen stayed in Juntian City.

After all, Juntian City had just experienced a great battle, and Wang Musheng was severely injured. If he were not there to hold the fort, Juntian City would very likely fall again.

With the help of Yang Lingchen's healing pill, Wang Musheng's injuries fully recovered in just a few days. The effect of the healing pill was miraculous, causing Wang Musheng's injuries to heal rapidly.

Wang Chen's mother and the others from the Family also returned to Juntian City.

Upon learning that Yang Lingchen had saved her husband, Wang Chen's mother, Madam Xiao, was also very grateful to Yang Lingchen.

She personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous meal for Yang Lingchen.

Madam Xiao even suggested betrothing Wang Chen's sister, Wang Yuxin, to Yang Lingchen.

However, fortunately, Yang Lingchen was quick-witted enough to say directly that something went wrong when he practiced martial arts as a child, and he was currently a eunuch in the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty.

When she learned that Yang Lingchen was a eunuch, the look in Wang Yuxin's eyes when she looked at him became incomparably melancholy.

Having finally met a man she found pleasing to the eye, who knew he was actually a eunuch. It was imaginable how incredibly depressed this made Wang Yuxin feel.

That day, Yang Lingchen finally decided to leave, as he still had many things to do.

This time he did not take Wang Chen, but left Juntian City alone.

Yang Lingchen's next target was the Phoenix clan, because Juntian City was not too far from the Phoenix clan, so he decided to go to the Phoenix clan first, and then go to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect.

...

In front of the Phoenix clan's Mountain Gate.

At this moment, two factions were confronting each other. The faction blocking the outside of the Phoenix clan's Mountain Gate was none other than the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Feng Juntao, it is all because of your daughter that my son has become like this."

Chen Tantian said in a cold tone, pointing at Chen Zixuan on the stretcher.

His eyes were filled with anger and hatred, as if he wanted to tear Feng Juntao apart alive.

At this moment, Chen Zixuan lay motionless on the stretcher, as if he were a dead person.

Now he could not see with his eyes, could not speak with his mouth, his four limbs and Dantian were all crippled, and even his tool for procreation had been smashed to pieces by Yang Lingchen. Now, living one more day in this world meant one more day of suffering.

"Chen Tantian, your son's skills were inferior, and he lost to Yang Lingchen. What does that have to do with my Phoenix clan?" Feng Juntao's voice was filled with anger.

He also had not expected that Chen Tantian, whom he once called brother, would actually come to kill at the doorstep of the Phoenix clan.
