Chapter 1349: Chapter 1348: Taking a Desperate Risk

"Hahaha... How do you feel, you little brat? The taste of the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock isn’t pleasant, is it?"

Watching Ling Chen’s face turn pale, Saint Qian Yan laughed heartily. No matter how monstrous Ling Chen was, he could not escape the suppression of the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock!

This device is specifically designed to deal with Ling Chen!

"Die!"

Saint Qian Yan shouted loudly, swinging the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock viciously toward Ling Chen’s face. At the same time, the Fifth Elder swung the other chain at Ling Chen’s back, attacking him fiercely from both sides with terrifying pressure!

At this moment, Ling Chen had no choice but to counter the move. He immediately drew out the Red Sky Sword with his left hand and swung both swords continuously, slashing at the approaching chains, determined to forcefully slash the chains away even if it meant withstanding the impact on his body.

Otherwise, if he got entangled, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It’s just futile resistance!"

The Sixth Elder released the remaining section of the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock. Suddenly, the power of the lock increased dramatically, transforming into a fire python that opened its bloody mouth wide, lunging at Ling Chen’s head!

Faced with the fire python’s aggression, the seawater beneath Ling Chen’s feet boiled violently. He remained expressionless, extending his palm, where a light blue treasure pearl appeared, emitting an aura completely opposed to the fire python.

This aura was extremely pure and gentle, yet continuous.

Roar!

In the moment that Ling Chen infused his entire body’s True Qi into the treasure pearl, a sonorous dragon roar suddenly echoed through the void. As the dragon roar ceased, the sea beneath Ling Chen erupted, and a massive water dragon emerged, charging directly at the fire python transformed from the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock.

"It’s the Water Dragon Orb!"

Upon seeing the treasure pearl in Ling Chen’s hand, Saint Qian Yan’s expression changed abruptly. "Damn it! The brat actually brought the Water Dragon Orb?"

In the Five Elements, water overcomes fire, and the Water Dragon Orb can be considered the nemesis of the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock. He never expected Ling Chen to bring the Water Dragon Orb this time.

Bang!

The majestic water dragon surged upward, colliding fiercely with the fire python transformed from the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock. The terrifying wave from the impact swept through the area, creating a massive whirlpool on the sea surface, and violent shockwaves erupted in all directions!

Pfft!

Saint Qian Yan and the other two turned pale, their chest blood and Qi surging turbulently, their eyes filled with horror. However, within their sight, amid the shockwaves, Ling Chen’s figure emerged, his body blown away, sticking to the edge of the Three-Element Fire Demon Array, spewing fresh blood from his mouth!

Under the fierce attack of these three middle-rank Saints, Ling Chen finally suffered injuries, and they weren’t light.

"The brat is wounded!"

Saint Qian Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened. Even if Ling Chen had three heads and six arms, he couldn’t withstand their three-person siege!

After all, they were well-prepared for this joint attack, bringing not only the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock but also setting up the Three-Element Fire Demon Array, all for dealing with Ling Chen. Such means could have killed any Fourth Level of Saint Dao, or even Five-fold Saint Realm powerhouses.

Ling Chen was equally startled, not expecting that even after summoning the Water Dragon Orb, he still couldn’t break the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock. He underestimated the strength of the three enemies; even if they were less competent, they are still formidable Saints beyond the Fourth Level of Saint Dao. The combined True Qi of these three is far beyond what he and Beichuan Ye, outstanding young geniuses, can compare to. Their True Qi, when infused into the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock, became overwhelmingly powerful and unshakable.

Even if the Water Dragon Orb has some restraining effect on the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock, it couldn’t be fully utilized.

The situation suddenly became extremely dire.

"Haha, the little brat is almost finished. Seize the opportunity and finish him off!"

Saint Qian Yan let out a sharp laugh, manically injecting True Qi into the array formation, his veins bulging, while the Fifth and Sixth Elders cooperated by driving the array and consuming Elixirs to replenish their True Qi.

"Three-Element Fire Demon Array, burn the heavens and earth!"

The thin chain wrapped around the lock was extremely long, each of the three spread out, surrounding Ling Chen, as vast terrifying streams of scorching red were ejected along the chains, forming fiery True Qi pillars densely like a net, enclosing Ling Chen with no escape route.

Within this great formation, Ling Chen could no longer see the surrounding scenery. Looking up, there was only rolling red light, a sea of flames.

The vitality within Ling Chen surged, and the medicinal power of the Undying Fruit took effect, quickly healing his wounds, but the current situation did not allow for optimism.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In the void, roaring firelight flashed by, and suddenly, a chain enshrouded in flames appeared out of nowhere, attacking Ling Chen with unmatched force.

Not daring to meet it head-on, Ling Chen could only launch multiple Flying Swords to twist the chain’s attack trajectory.

But the next moment, two more chains appeared suddenly. Unable to see their source, Ling Chen was ultimately a beat slower, failing to repeat the tactic of distorting the Fire Cloud Heavenly Lock’s path. His form flickered, narrowly avoiding the final two chains’ attacks, brushing past them.

Swish swish swish swish...

After one wave missed, the second wave followed closely. Three chains danced in the void, growing longer and forming a Heaven’s Net, while Ling Chen was like walking a tightrope, constantly at risk of being hit by the chains and falling to the ground, shattered into pieces.

"This won’t do. Am I going to have to use the Soul Destroying Sword?"

Within this Three-Element Fire Demon Array, Ling Chen had fallen completely at a disadvantage and would eventually be defeated, obliterated, and trapped in an inescapable doom. Currently, apart from the Soul Destroying Sword, there was no other means to help Ling Chen break the formation and escape.

However, using the Soul Destroying Sword is no trivial matter due to its terrifying power. If it exceeded the user’s limit, it could backfire, resulting in unimaginable consequences.

Last time he used the Soul Destroying Sword, it was with the Human Emperor’s help. Relying on his strength alone, it was uncertain whether he could wield the Soul Destroying Sword.

But with the three Saint Qian Yan’s relentless pressure, Ling Chen’s situation only deteriorated, leaving no chance for turnaround.

"No matter the consequence, I must try."

Ling Chen took a deep breath and finally halted. The Thunder Sound Sword and the Red Sky Sword both returned to their sheaths, while Ling Chen’s right hand abruptly rested on the hilt of the third sword at his waist.

As a thread of True Qi coursed through Ling Chen’s palm into the black sword, an extremely terrifying wave of destruction suddenly spread from the sword’s blade.
