Facing the sudden incoming attack of the grey robe middle-aged man, Ling Chen's countenance suddenly changed. His facial expression began to turn increasingly solemn.

"Buzz." Space fluctuated, seemingly being cut apart by the gigantic fiery sword.

Whether it was the huge black sword or the gigantic fiery sword, both swords seemed to merge into one.

Furthermore, the gigantic sword was getting bigger and bigger as the surrounding fire true qi continued to flow towards it and merged with it at an incredible speed.

At this moment, Ling Chen felt as if the sun was crashing down upon him.

At the same time, an overwhelming pressure pressed down from the sky as the middle-aged man released his spiritual pressure as it to suppress everything under the sky. It was as if a gigantic foot was stomping down on the ground.

In the meantime, within the boundary of the Blue Cloud City, everyone felt an unbeatable ancient powerful pressure. At this moment, countless low-level and mid-level warriors trembled.

"What's happening?!"

All the warriors within the city were shivering with fear from the depth of their souls! Under this ancient and powerful pressure, they all felt like they were insects and ants.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen's face suddenly darkened when he realized that he couldn't move as his body was frozen in place by an unknown force.

When he tried to resist the pressure by soaring into the sky, he realized that it was impossible to fly in this space. At most, he could only levitate a few inches.

Without even thinking too much, Ling Chen knew that it was the effect of the grey robe middle-aged man's tyrannical spiritual pressure. This meant that the man's spiritual sense was much more powerful than his.

Not only that, but his body was also locked on by the grey robe man's cold murderous aura. It was if he was standing stark naked in a frozen world of ice and snow.

Upon witnessing this scenario, the sense of dread Ling Chen felt from the grey robe middle-aged man became even stronger.

Ling Chen's eyes narrowed, the cultivation of this person before him was indeed powerful.

This single sword attack carried an unstoppable and tyrannical pressure, and with just this one blow, it could be seen that nothing could stop it.

Despite Ling Chen's eyes power and heaven-defying abilities, all was meaningless in the face of this attack.

'He's too fast!.

This was the first time that he had encountered someone whose speed was so fast that he couldn't hope to match them.

Without any hesitation, Ling Chen suddenly unleashed his dark energy from within his lower-dantian.

Buzz!

An apocalyptic pitch-black aura began to fluctuate everywhere. A dark evil aura that was like that of an ocean in the sky surged from within Ling Chen's body.

The dark evil aura completely shrouded the sky as it continued to spread out, nearly covering the entire sky. It was as if this world had entered into the apocalypse as a portion of the sky suddenly turned dark.

As soon as Ling Chen released his dark domain, his body suddenly regained its mobility. However, it was already too late to dodge the incoming attack. His only option was to face it and block the attack head-on.

Dark Shield!" Yelled out, Ling Chen.

At the same time, the black cloud-like energy suddenly turned into a huge thick dark shield over Ling Chen's head.

Boom!

However, the moment the humongous fiery sword made contact with the dark shield made by Ling Chen's dark energy, it suddenly shattered like a broken mirror. It was as if the giant fiery was sword was the sharpest and the heaviest item in existence.

Also, the moment the dark shield collapsed, there was an earth-shattering bang that could be heard within hundreds of kilometers. It was so powerful that even the sky changed colors and countless cracks appeared in the space around the collision.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen didn't get flustered as more dark energy continued to flow out his body and surrounded him like a cocoon, protecting him.

He knew that the amount of dark energy couldn't form a shield sturdy and strong enough to stop the incoming attack. However, that was the only amount of dark energy he was able to gather before he was hacked down by the giant fiery sword. He didn't have enough time to draw out all the dark energy within his lower-dantian.

"BANG!" A thunderous sound resounded as Ling Chen's body was blasted into the ground from thousands of meters in the sky, creating a huge pit that was stained with his own blood as cracks began to split from the epicenter.

Furthermore, upon impact, the ground shook violently. This one blow even caused the Blue Cloud City to tremor as everyone living in the city became alarmed.

At this very second, countless people from afar gazed towards the source of the tremor. Even the city lord and the other powerful warriors living within the city shivered in fear after they felt the murderous aura and the spiritual pressure of the peak Martial Venerable.

As if the first devilish attack wasn't enough,

"God Slaying Sword Art, the second form, Flaming Swords Meteor Shower!" Shouted the grey robe middle-aged man.

While in the air, the gigantic sword suddenly shattered as the residual fiery true qi transformed and scattered into countless smaller fiery swords and rained down on Ling Chen.

So vicious!

Swish swish swish swish….

Those crimson, glowing sword light streaks dove down from the sky along with an incomparably sharp sense of power and shrill roars.

Like a stormy sea, its intention to kill engulfed everything in all four directions. The temperature in the area continued to increase tremendously

The storm of sword power looked like fierce raindrops made of fire, like shooting stars, or blooming fireworks, immediately shrouding the entire area.

At this moment, those shattered pieces of the fiery sword had arrived and the flames from the sky descended, covering the area where Ling Chen was blasted off.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion rang in the air as the whole world shook. The impact and detonation of the thousands of fire swords reverberated across the entire region as the endless of red fiery sparks assaulted the sky.

The heaven and earth were on the verge of collapsing. It was if the grey robe middle-aged man was trying to turn the entire area into ashes.

At the same time, the area where Ling Chen was blasted turned into an inferno and sunk into the ground once more.

All of this happened really fast; it wouldn't be wrong to say it happened in an instant

"It is all over!" The grey robe middle-aged man said with a deep tone before he heaved a sigh of relief.

The man was confident of his attack and knew that even a Peak Martial Venerable like himself couldn't survive it, let alone a newly promote Martial Venerable with no real battle experience.

The little devil's existence had caused not only their sect but the other great influences to feel a great amount of pressure and unease. But now after killing him, they could finally relax with the weight off their backs.

"Over? This is only the beginning." At a time when the grey robe middle-aged man thought the matter was settled, all of a sudden, a calm voice filled with a wave of anger and killing intent rang out from within the pit of fire.

"Rumble!"

In the next moment, Ling Chen climbed up from the deep fire crater; his clothes were burnt and was also covered in blood with his flesh torn apart. He was like a broken vase with cracks everywhere. It was as if his body would instantly shatter into small pieces from just a slight touch.
