Chapter 1065: Chapter 1064: Calamity
"It’s useless, today he cannot escape his fate."
The Undying Old Demon sneered, on this Fire Dragon Bridge, Ling Chen had no way to escape. Under the siege of our five experts, Ling Chen’s only outcome is to fall here.
"That’s right, even if a Da Luo Immortal came, they couldn’t save him."
The Hook-Nosed Elder grinned, his eyes revealing undisguised murderous intent.
"Let’s attack together and deliver the final blow!"
The Undying Old Demon crazily mobilized his True Qi, shouting fiercely.
As soon as the words fell, the five people once again joined forces, each unleashing their killing moves, ready to deliver the final inevitable blow to Ling Chen.
"He’s doomed!"
Many strong realm experts shook their heads, as if they could already foresee the scene of Ling Chen being killed.
In this situation, Ling Chen had no chance of survival.
Ling Chen was now in a state of serious injury. His internal organs were like a tangled mess, bones broken in over ten places, and multiple injuries to his meridians. Under normal circumstances, he would probably have difficulty even walking. However, relying on his strong will, he was still thinking quickly about how to respond. At this time, if he really fainted, he would truly be doomed.
Faced with the joint attack of these five, he was definitely not an opponent now, having lost the initiative from the start and being caught off guard by the Undying Old Demon’s sneak attack. Otherwise, even if he couldn’t defeat the combined assault, he wouldn’t have fallen into a desperate situation so quickly.
Instead of being killed by these five here, it’s better to fight for a slim chance of survival! Revenge is a dish best served cold, all these people will die at his hands!
Ling Chen’s eyes flickered violently, then he suddenly turned around and rushed downward toward the Chaotic Red Sea!
"What, is he trying to commit suicide?"
Seeing this, many strong realm experts were shocked. Undoubtedly, beneath the Fire Dragon Bridge lay certain death, with Ling Chen intentionally running down there, it seemed he was seeking his own doom.
"There’s no way, either way, it’s death; might as well die valiantly, I guess that’s what he’s thinking!"
One expert sighed.
"Trying to escape!"
The Undying Old Demon wouldn’t tolerate Ling Chen escaping, not even committing suicide, as he intended to drain every last drop of Ling Chen’s blood from his body, and letting him off like this was unacceptable.
Without waiting for the other four to join in, the Undying Old Demon acted first, extending a blood claw, directly grabbing at Ling Chen’s head.
Ling Chen took a deep breath, using the last bit of strength in his body to swing a sword, striking the Undying Old Demon’s blood claw, causing its trajectory to deviate, missing Ling Chen’s vital point, but still hitting him, sending Ling Chen, who was vomiting blood, flying away rapidly into the Chaotic Red Sea below, and disappearing.
"Damn, he still managed to escape!"
The Undying Old Demon’s eyes were gloomy. He raised his palm, seeing bloodstains on the claw, which were Ling Chen’s blood. He brought the claw to his mouth and extended his tongue, licking the blood clean as if enjoying a delicacy.
"Rest assured, the place below the Fire Dragon Bridge is a land of no return, especially as the kid is severely injured and dying, entering below, he’s dead for sure."
The Hook-Nosed Elder smiled, though he held no fondness for evil spirits like the Undying Old Demon, killing Ling Chen, a threat, made him feel quite happy.
"Elder Huangfu is right, even if the kid had nine lives, it’s certain he’s dead now."
The speaker was Ling Bing, who casually glanced at the area where Ling Chen fell. At this time, it was completely calm, with no signs of any aura.
"Relying on his extraordinary talent, this person acted tyrannically, making numerous enemies, drawing wrath and resentment, deserving to die."
Ling Huo said coldly.
"Alright, now that Ling Chen is dead, let’s hurry to the other side. The Azure Dragon Family has already gone over."
Having eliminated Ling Chen, Huangfu Qi was satisfied, the thorn in his heart finally removed. Otherwise, with Ling Chen alive, he’d never feel at ease; Ling Chen had become his Heart Demon, he needed to kill Ling Chen to get back on track.
"Let’s go!"
The Ice and Fire Dual Swords nodded, and they sequentially headed to the opposite side of the Fire Dragon Bridge.
Although the Undying Old Demon still had some doubts, he certainly wouldn’t jump down to find Ling Chen’s body. Since Ling Chen was almost certainly dead below, he was relieved, believing the kid wouldn’t have the luck to escape death in such circumstances.
After staring at the area where Ling Chen vanished for a while, he too headed towards the island.
The other experts had long since followed suit, with fire columns erupting all around the Fire Dragon Bridge; they didn’t wish to linger here for a moment longer.
In the blink of an eye, the Fire Dragon Bridge was empty.
...
At this moment, in the region about a thousand feet deep beneath the Fire Dragon Bridge, it was still a chaotic realm.
Extremely scorching waves swept through the area, forming vortices that exuded a devouring aura.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The intense scorching wind brushed against Ling Chen’s ears. At this moment, Ling Chen could barely open his eyes; the whole world was silent, unable to hear anything, uninterested in anything, only wanting to sleep a while, preferably never to wake again.
"No, I can’t collapse here!"
He didn’t know how many times he’d bitten his tongue, desperately using pain to keep awake, then stuffed a handful of healing pills into his mouth.
Shaking his head, Ling Chen felt his thoughts slowing down; at this moment, even an ordinary strong realm could easily knock him down in one strike.
This time, he was too careless. First, he was hit by the fire column, followed by an ambush from the Undying Old Demon. Five experts besieged him, leaving him hardly any time to react. That he was still alive now was a miracle.
But the environment here was too harsh. This place was filled with violent flame energy, destructive flame storms constantly swept by, crushing even a mountain; he, gravely injured, when caught by these flame storms, would leave no remains.
However, Ling Chen was fortunate; those destructive flame storms, though fierce, didn’t harm him, passing him by time and time again.
This was accumulated fortune over years, belonging to the Nine Provinces’ young generation’s top fortune.
In the case of ordinary people falling beneath this Fire Dragon Bridge, they’d have died dozens of times already.
"I must find a safe haven for healing."
Ling Chen glanced around; this place was extremely dangerous, even walking could be fatal, let alone sitting down to heal, which was simply asking to die.
After about half a cup of tea’s time passed, as Ling Chen was about to fall, relying on extraordinary willpower, he finally found a stone crevice space, and within it, a roughly several meters in size underground space.
"Heaven hasn’t forsaken me."
The final thought flashed by, Ling Chen passed out.
And as he fainted, the Divine Dragon Jade began to work, released a gentle blood-colored energy, healing his internal injuries from the inside out, while the healing pills he’d swallowed earlier spread warm currents within Ling Chen’s body.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, Ling Chen woke from his deep sleep.
"Senior, how long was I unconscious?"
Ling Chen struggled to get up, asking the Human Emperor’s transform.
"Kid, you’ve been unconscious for three days."
The Human Emperor’s voice echoed, "If not for the Divine Dragon Jade, you would’ve been a corpse by now, but this is your fortune, allowing you to survive in extreme adversity."
"Three days, huh!"
Sighing, Ling Chen began to inspect his own injuries.
To his slight joy, the near-dead injuries had recovered to three points, with some combat ability. Besides the miraculous effect of the Divine Dragon Jade, the healing pills stuffed before seem to have worked somewhat, after all, they were rare pills from the Witch Fiend Sect, which he managed to bring out quite a few.
With such ancient forces like the Witch Fiend Sect, the sect’s foundation is unfathomable, considering Ling Chen’s status in the sect and his relationship with Xia Yunxin, bringing some pills wasn’t difficult.
Otherwise, within three short days, wanting to recover from near death was utterly impossible.
"Luckily, the dangerous period is over."
Sitting cross-legged, Ling Chen looked around, discovering the empty underground space seeming safe enough, no more attention given, once again took out a handful of pills, swallowing them.
Surviving disaster foretells fortune.
Ling Chen began exercising, using the residual True Qi within to drive the medicinal power, nourishing his meridians, starting the fastest recovery of injuries.
Another two days passed, and Ling Chen’s body had recovered to ninety percent.
"The body is mostly healed, time to start pushing boundaries."
Ling Chen abruptly opened his eyes, two beams of light shot out, with the recuperation done, this being a quiet place without disturbance, the perfect time to take one shot at breakthrough!
With a flip of the hand, Ling Chen acquired several relics, including three Saint Relics, emitting pure energy waves.
Moreover, Ling Chen still had one unrefined Fire Infant Fruit left, these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, sufficient to provide Ling Chen with enough energy to challenge the Seventh Realm of Sky Apex!
With a gleam in his eyes, Ling Chen suddenly circulated True Qi, forming a vortex of True Qi at the Dantian, all those floating Saint Relics were forcibly absorbed by Ling Chen, pure energy unceasingly pouring into the True Qi vortex, entering Ling Chen’s body.
