Chapter 1027 - 929: Emperor Ling's Sense of Defeat
Yang Tian sensed the place and, in a flash, flew towards the front. His speed was extremely fast as he wanted to see what capabilities the so-called Emperor Ling possessed to escape Chen Li's attack.
Chen Li, after all, was a Divine Spirit of the Demon Realm.
Her skill was terrifying within the Demon Realm and even more terrifying in the Human Realm, surpassing Martial Artists of the Half-Immortal Realm.
For any Martial Artist to escape right under her eyes was nothing but a sheer dream.
For a moment, Yang Tian grew interested in Emperor Ling as he flew forward. Chen Li's voice echoed from afar, "Older brother, is it time to leave Australia?"
"We can leave Australia now, but before we do, we need to take care of some loose ends." Yang Tian casually said while flying forward, "Although you have bloodbathed the Ling Manor, Emperor Ling is still alive. Now that he has shown himself, we might as well kill him before leaving Australia."
Upon hearing this, Chen Li's voice called out, "Alright, let's go take a look then. However, this Emperor Ling is very cunning. He sacrificed nine elders to buy time for his escape. But I always felt that the sacrifice of those nine elders wasn't so simple, because afterward, I couldn't detect any remnants of their souls. Older brother, keep an eye out, we're heading over to see what's happening..."
Originally, Yang Tian didn't intend for Chen Li to follow, but upon hearing about the sacrifice of nine elders without any soul remnants, he was filled with doubt.
Soon, Yang Tian arrived at the Lingteng Ocean beside Australia.
On the sea surface of the Lingteng Ocean, the evening breeze gently caressed, and lights reflected on the sea surface. Cruise ships and speedboats were weaving back and forth.
On one of the cruise ships, a middle-aged man was kneeling. In front of him stood an elder, none other than Emperor Ling of the Ling Manor. At this moment, Emperor Ling's face was extremely grim, "Are you saying you've already poisoned He Yongsheng?"
"Yes, exactly that. The poison was given to me by Emperor Ling himself, and it will accumulate over time until it erupts uncontrollably." The middle-aged man said excitedly, "He Yongsheng was already terminally ill, and yesterday, he completely erupted and instantly died..."
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, a trace of mockery flashed through Emperor Ling's eyes, and he suddenly slapped the man.
But the middle-aged man's body abruptly burst forth with a strong wave of Spiritual Breath, as Yang Tian's Divine Talisman was releasing powerful Spiritual Breath. This forceful Spiritual Breath even caused Emperor Ling to stagger backward.
A fierce light flashed across Emperor Ling's eyes, "You beast, you're certainly up to no good! You think I don't know some experts arrived recently? My Ling Manor was bloodbathed by those experts, they come and go without trace. I've long investigated that it was He Jie who invited them against us! You think I'd believe anything you say today?"
The middle-aged man also realized, "So, you knew everything?"
"Beast, how could someone as insignificant as you dare to offend me? Get Yang Tian out immediately! I know he's the one who applied the Spiritual Breath to you!"
Emperor Ling's voice suddenly sounded like Celestial Thunder.
In an instant, the entire sea surface boiled, waves surged, and boats rocked.
Yang Tian landed on the embankment and a cold smile flashed in his eyes, "Emperor Ling, it seems you're deliberately trying to draw me out?"
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
A series of hissing sounds arose, and Chen Li, Ling Ying, Eliza, and Wu Zetian arrived, landing beside Yang Tian. They peered over the sea surface and quickly felt a strong fluctuation of Spiritual Breath. Ling Ying frowned, "It's Emperor Ling. What's strange is why his Spiritual Breath has increased so much? Previously, when we bloodbathed Ling Manor, his skill was merely at the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Hearing this, Yang Tian specially operated his Divine Sense and probed towards Emperor Ling on the sea surface, then shook his head, "No matter how powerful Emperor Ling becomes, he's just a clown. What's interesting is he's daring enough to come out searching for us?"
Chen Li thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Older brother, I find it odd that although Emperor Ling's skill doesn't match ours, he managed to escape using the lives of nine elders. I think their souls might have been collected by him..."
"Oh?"
Yang Tian chuckled with interest, flying towards the sea surface, curious about Emperor Ling's intentions.
After all, Emperor Ling should have fled far away like a stray dog.
But returning likely meant he held something, Yang Tian flew forward and operated his Divine Sense to probe around. Soon, he noticed nine speedboats around Emperor Ling's sea surface, unusually calm amidst the turbulent sea waves. Fixing his gaze, Yang Tian discovered that on each speedboat was a statue, and inside each statue, a soul was contained.
For a moment, Yang Tian also laughed.
Perhaps Emperor Ling's sacrifice of nine elders was not simply for escaping.
Yang Tian directly arrived above the cruise ship where Emperor Ling was and said, "Emperor Ling, seeing that your effort in cultivating isn't easy, kneel down and apologize, and never step into Australia again, and I'll spare you."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ling's face darkened with anger, "Don't think I'll let you off just because you destroyed my Ling Manor. Let me tell you, as long as one person from my Ling Manor remains alive, we'll seek revenge against you! Today, I'll show you the ultimate performance of our Ling Manor!"
"Oh?" Yang Tian laughed, "You've placed nine statues on the surrounding speedboats, each containing a sealed soul meant to activate your Ling Manor's array?"
Hearing Yang Tian's words, Emperor Ling's face changed dramatically, "How did you figure out at a glance that I've placed nine statues around?"
"You've used nine souls, and each soul holds Yin Breath. This is likely a Nine Yin Evil Array." Yang Tian could immediately discern what kind of array Emperor Ling was displaying, "A very fierce array, once unleashed, can't be undone without bloodshed. The so-called bloodshed means enough souls must be devoured, particularly Martial Artists' souls."
"How do you know everything!!!"
Emperor Ling trembled entirely. He couldn't believe that everything he planned was seen through by Yang Tian.
Who exactly is this Yang Tian?
And at that moment, Yang Tian casually said, "This Nine Yin Evil Array is very powerful, but it has a flaw. Once unleashed, it becomes uncontrollable. How about I help you modify it to make it controllable..."
As he said this, Yang Tian flew up and pressed a Dharma Seal with his Soul Technique Breath in the center of the nine speedboats.
Boom!
A sound explosion echoed, turning the entire sea surface turbulent.
At this moment, Emperor Ling's face turned extremely pale, devoid of blood, "This... The array was actually modified by you... then what use is it to me? To use it to destroy you?... How ridiculous, if you could modify the array, how could I use it against you..."
A sense of defeat overwhelmed him, leaving Emperor Ling paralyzed on the ground...
