Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Yu Jing, Chief Disciple of the Sword King Sect
"Ah!"
A scream reached the ears, as several disciples guarding the mountain, unable to dodge due to their close proximity, were obliterated into ashes by Ji Chen’s sword light on the spot.
"Who dares to be so presumptuous in my Sword King Sect?!"
Not long after, such an angry shout came from within the Sword King Sect.
Subsequently, numerous figures began to appear one after another.
It wasn’t just the older generation’s experts; younger generation disciples made up the majority, almost all with swords hanging at their waists.
Being disciples of the Sword King Sect, they naturally excelled in Sword Dao and were adept in swordsmanship martial techniques.
"I am Ji Chen, the Young Sect Leader of Lingyun Sect!"
Ji Chen stood with hands behind his back in front of the Sword King Sect’s mountain gate, while speaking, he surveyed the Sword King Sect crowd ahead, continuing, "Listen up, if you don’t want to die, leave now and henceforth, don’t ever claim to be disciples of the Sword King Sect again."
"Ji Chen?"
"Are you that frivolous Young Sect Leader?"
"What audacity, dare to barge into my Sword King Sect’s mountain gate, Ji Chen, you are courting death!"
Hearing Ji Chen declare himself, many young disciples within the Sword King Sect couldn’t help but show anger on their faces.
Clearly, earlier Xia Hui and others had died at Ji Chen’s hands.
Later, Elder Zhou Peng personally visited Lingyun Sect but did not return alive. These Sword King Sect disciples had long been eager to make a move against Lingyun Sect.
Yet now, Ji Chen, as the Young Sect Leader, had proactively come to them.
"So arrogant, do you really think, relying on your strength alone, you can stand against my entire Sword King Sect?"
"Today, you’ll understand what end comes from offending our Sword King Sect."
Amidst the words, several Sword King Sect disciples couldn’t help but step forward, all with malicious looks, their gazes locked onto Ji Chen.
Now the Sword King Sect and Lingyun Sect were in a life-or-death struggle, if they could capture Ji Chen alive, the Lingyun Sect’s Young Sect Leader, they would surely receive vast rewards from the sect!
No one could withstand such temptation.
"Surrender obediently, or if you dare struggle, beware for your life!"
With a cold laugh, they all attacked simultaneously, striding towards Ji Chen, seemingly wanting to capture him together and bring him back to the Sword King Sect for credit.
"Courting death!"
But in face of their sudden assault, Ji Chen stood quietly still in place.
With his current cultivation, these disciples being merely in the second or third layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm posed no threat to him.
"Kill!"
Without any mercy, a chilling light flashed in Ji Chen’s eyes, murder intent fully exposed.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, he raised two fingers forward, striking forward.
Actually using his fingers as swords, he slashed out a crystal-clear sword light.
"Hiss!"
The sword light flashed, carrying an astonishing aura, it was unstoppable, descending upon those Sword King Sect disciples in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!"
The screams instantly sounded, reaching the ears of all present.
Those Sword King Sect disciples were completely unable to withstand, two of them were instantly turned into ashes by Ji Chen’s sword light.
The remaining few were severely injured and flew back, coughing up blood, their bodies slammed heavily onto the distant ground, and after a few struggles, they fainted on the spot.
"What?!"
This scene immediately stunned everyone.
"What a powerful sword strike!"
"How is this possible? Ji Chen actually possesses such strength!"
All the disciples turned gloomy, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Those Sword King Sect disciples all had Spirit Transformation Realm second layer or higher strength, even if a Spirit Transformation Realm fourth layer expert faced them together, they’d probably have to retreat.
Yet now, in the face of their combined attack, Ji Chen not only wasn’t threatened but injured them heavily with a single sword strike, with two of them dying on the spot.
Such a scene proved that Ji Chen’s strength completely exceeded their imagination.
"Wasn’t he a frivolous person? Though he became an Alchemist, how is his martial arts cultivation also so astonishing!"
"It’s said that in the ancient ruins of Emperor Ye, Senior Sister Xia Hui was killed by him, I found it hard to believe then, but now it seems..."
The crowd all frowned, at this moment when they looked at Ji Chen again, deep dread had already emerged in their eyes.
"A mere bunch of riff-raff, yet dare to be so arrogant in front of me, let your Sword King Sect elders all come out, otherwise..."
Ji Chen stood quietly in place, speaking lightly, while sweeping his gaze over those Sword King Sect disciples one by one.
"Some skills indeed, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant."
Just then, from within the crowd, a cold laugh echoed.
Soon, a young man dressed in black stepped out.
He too had a sword hanging at his waist, with a pair of cold eyes staring intently at Ji Chen, his eyebrows sharp like swords, giving off an aggressively imposing feeling.
"Senior Brother Yu Jing!"
Seeing the newcomer, all the Sword King Sect disciples present couldn’t help but show delight on their faces.
"Yu Jing?"
Ji Chen looked at him, finding the name somewhat familiar, quickly realizing, "You are the First Disciple of Sword King Sect?"
Besides this identity, Yu Jing was also one of the top ten young talents in the Profound Domain, reportedly with cultivation reaching beyond the fifth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
At present, feeling the aura emanating from him, it wasn’t hard for Ji Chen to deduce that Yu Jing’s strength wasn’t merely at the fifth layer, but at least the sixth layer!
However, in Ji Chen’s view, whether the fifth or sixth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm, made no difference to him.
"I heard you are ranked second among the top ten young talents of the Profound Domain? Second only to Liu Qingcheng?" Ji Chen faced him directly, smiling as he spoke.
"Since you already know, no need for me to introduce myself, Ji Chen, if I am not mistaken, your strength should be around the fourth or fifth layer of Spirit Transformation Realm, right?"
Yu Jing stood proudly, with cold eyes and a hint of arrogance, staring at Ji Chen, "These years, you indeed endured, consenting to be seen as a frivolous person, no wonder Liu Qingcheng broke the engagement."
He sneered, confidence on his face, "But, in my presence, you’re ultimately too weak."
As one of the top ten talents of the Profound Domain, among the younger generation, apart from Liu Qingcheng, no second person was worth Yu Jing’s attention.
"If you surrender obediently, you might suffer less, but unnecessary struggle..."
As he spoke, a cold light flickered in his eyes, whereupon, with the sword at his waist drawn, he slashed across at Ji Chen.
"Buzz..."
An astonishing sword light instantly coalesced, with terrifying aura, it charged at Ji Chen with overwhelming force.
