Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Killing

"Zhao Tianwu, you dare!"

Chi Shen shouted coldly.

"Lord Chi, I’ve been fed up with the position of Palace Master for a long time."

Zhao Tianwu felt confident and no longer feared Chi Shen. He said with a faint smile.

"Lord Chi, your opponent is me!"

At this moment, Jiang Wuyan moved quickly, his spiritual power erupting to intercept Chi Shen: "Lord Chi, just watch from the side. Otherwise, how about we have a little spar?"

Jiang Wuyan’s cultivation was also at the eighth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, hardly any different from Chi Shen’s.

"Boy, today you’ll learn what happens when you shoot your mouth off!"

Zhao Tianwu stared at Ling Chen, letting out a cold laugh.

"Boom!"

A robust aura exploded, sweeping towards the surroundings!

The Eight Palaces Martial Arts Competition was originally a friendly contest among students from the Eight Great Academies, and now it has unexpectedly evolved into a battle between a student and a Palace Master.

It was truly unbelievable!

"Bang!"

Seeing Zhao Tianwu so shameless as to actually attack Ling Chen, Mo Han naturally couldn’t sit still. He stomped on the ground, ready to rush towards Zhao Tianwu.

He had just charged out when he was intercepted by a force of spiritual power.

"Master Mo, just watch obediently!"

Ye Fan glared at Mo Han and threatened, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind letting you experience the strength of an eighth-layer Primordial Pill Realm cultivator!"

Mo Han glanced at Ling Chen in the sky, then looked back and said, "Lord Ye, I’ll give up the position of Palace Master."

It was not easy for True Martial Academy to have such an exceptional talent like Ling Chen. It would be a pity if he were to fall here!

Even if it meant giving up the position of Palace Master, he had to save Ling Chen!

"Is that so?"

Ye Fan cracked a smile and instantly appeared in front of Mo Han, striking him with a palm, sending him flying dozens of feet.

"Puh!"

Mo Han spewed a mouthful of fresh blood while still in the air.

He was merely at the sixth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, how could he stand against Ye Fan?

Especially when Ye Fan had launched a sneak attack!

"Defy me again, and you die!"

Ye Fan stood back, hands by his sides.

Mo Han took another look at Ling Chen and said helplessly, "Ling Chen, I’m of no use. It’s all up to you now."

Above the ninth heaven.

Ling Chen also saw this scene.

"Kid, don’t even think about it. Today, no one on heaven or earth can save you!"

Zhao Tianwu’s lips curled in mockery.

He was in the late sixth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, facing a junior at the late first layer. Wasn’t it as easy as catching a chicken?

Even if Ling Chen had mastered superior Heavenly Spirit Techniques, what of it?

The disparity in their cultivation levels was like the difference between the clouds and the mud!

He possessed a Golden Spirit Body, a normal Spirit Body, but his spiritual power was still comparable to the late seventh layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

Ling Chen’s spiritual power was only at the late third layer of the Primordial Pill Realm.

The gap in their spiritual power was a full four layers!

Something not even superior Heavenly Spirit Techniques could make up for!

"Ling Chen, let me show you the methods of a mid-tier Primordial Pill Realm cultivator!"

Zhao Tianwu snorted coldly. With a flash of light in his hand, a silver longsword appeared, into which he channeled golden spiritual power, emitting a dazzling golden light!

"Golden Buddha Step!"

Zhao Tianwu whispered to himself, pouring the golden spiritual power into his legs. Then with a flash of golden light, his figure vanished from the spot.

He directly employed a mid-tier Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique!

At the mid-phase of the Primordial Pill Realm, cultivators’ methods of attack become simple and effective.

No longer was it like before, exchanging blows with Spirit Arts!

If it were a direct confrontation using Spirit Arts, Ling Chen might not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, he wanted to capture Ling Chen alive, not kill him!

"Damn, that’s so shameless?"

"A Palace Master attacking a student first?"

"Ah, what a pity. Such a monstrous talent like Ling Chen is going to fall!"

"Yes! It’s such a tragedy!"

...

Cultivators spectating the battle engaged in heated debates.

Their tones were filled with disdain and pity.

"A mid-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.

By now, his Divine Soul Telekinesis had already been released, covering a radius of dozens of feet around him.

Every move of Zhao Tianwu was within his grasp!

He simply held a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon, channeling Spiritual Power into it for defense.

No Spirit Art was deployed.

Seeing this, Mo Han was extremely anxious in his heart.

At this moment, shouldn’t Ling Chen be employing the Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique to dodge?

Why is he standing still?

Just then, Ling Chen’s right hand moved, and his longsword slashed diagonally downwards.

"Huh?"

A surprised voice rang out, "You can actually determine my position?"

Following that, a flash of Jin Guang appeared, and Zhao Tianwu’s figure materialized in front of Ling Chen, mere inches away from his longsword.

"I’ll sever your arm!"

Zhao Tianwu let out a cold shout as his longsword aimed towards Ling Chen’s left arm.

"I’ve been waiting for you!"

Ling Chen muttered inwardly with a low shout, as Divine Soul Telekinesis roared forth from his Heavenly Spirit.

The two were only three feet apart.

With the speed of Divine Soul Telekinesis, Zhao Tianwu was struck instantly.

Zhao Tianwu also felt the Divine Soul Attack.

But he paid it no mind.

After all, he was a Primordial Pill Realm Sixth Layer cultivator, and an early-stage Divine Soul Attack was ineffective against him!

His silver longsword continued its trajectory toward Ling Chen’s left arm.

A vicious smile spread across his face, as if he could already see the scene of Ling Chen’s arm being severed.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt intense pain surging through his Sea of Consciousness, and then darkness fell before his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Power shielding his body had completely dissipated.

"Swish!"

Ling Chen’s longsword effortlessly pierced into the other’s Dantian.

Having delivered a successful strike, Ling Chen quickly retreated three yards.

"How is this possible?"

Zhao Tianwu finally came to his senses, staring at Ling Chen with an expression of disbelief.

By now, he could sense that his Dantian had been breached, the Spiritual Power within his Primordial Pill wildly leaking out and completely out of his control.

"You can go die now!"

Ling Chen glanced at Zhao Tianwu, a Sword Qi burst forth, and swiftly decapitated him by targeting his neck.

"It can’t be!"

"It absolutely can’t be!"

"How is Zhao Tianwu dead?"

Jiang Wuyan’s face was filled with incredulity.

Zhao Tianwu was a late-stage Primordial Pill Realm Sixth Layer cultivator, how could he be slain by Ling Chen in a single encounter?

Zhao Tianwu was supposed to have the upper hand just now!

"Thud!"

Ling Chen stepped forward, snatched Zhao Tianwu’s storage ring and Spiritual Weapon, and then kicked his corpse.

"This..."

Everyone looked at the bizarre scene in shock.

Ling Chen had actually killed Zhao Tianwu, a Sixth Layer of the Primordial Pill Realm?

A hint of a smile curved the corner of Ling Chen’s lips.

The attack he had just used was a Divine Soul Attack, and that’s what earned him such a victory.

Indeed, his Divine Soul was at the early stage of transformation, but due to the Sunlight Holy Body, the power of his Divine Soul Telekinesis was a whole level above a regular Divine Thought Master.

Comparable to a mid-stage Divine Thought Master!

And Zhao Tianwu was merely at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Pill Realm; his Divine Soul didn’t have the amplification like a Death Spirit Body, so when hit by the Divine Soul Attack, he immediately fell into a stupor.

Zhao Tianwu, having lost control, was no different from an ordinary person to Ling Chen.

Without Spiritual Power Defense, Ling Chen easily dispatched him with a burst of Sword Qi!

However, due to the close proximity between the two, even if he used a Divine Soul Attack, the crowd could not perceive it clearly and had no idea how Zhao Tianwu had met his death.
