"Blazing Thunder Cut!"

Accompanied by Ling Chen's shout, a Sword Light infused with thunder and fire energy sliced through the Void. Everyone's gaze was fixed on a flash of Sword Light, and with a "crack," the exceptionally majestic Sword Momentum of the Heaven Cloud Half Saint abruptly split open, along with the giant phantom shadow that was cleaved in two and exploded.

Clang!

The Sword Light struck the chest of Heaven Cloud Half Saint with the speed of lightning, raising flames like magma. The thick metallic stench couldn't be dispelled even by the wind. The next moment, Heaven Cloud Half Saint spewed a large amount of blood from his mouth, flying backward tens of miles in an instant, like riding the clouds. During the flight, blood leaked from his eyes, nose, and ears, winding like little serpents.

"Heaven Cloud Half Saint has been defeated?"

The people on the deck were still somewhat bewildered. Just now, Heaven Cloud Half Saint had the advantage and initiative, but unexpectedly, the power of Ling Chen's strike was so strong that it instantly changed the situation. In just the blink of an eye, Heaven Cloud Half Saint spewed blood and flew backward with unexplained sparks on his chest.

Hiss!

After the bewilderment, everyone gasped in shock. A visible killer move isn't frightening; what's frightening is they couldn't even see what Ling Chen's killer move looked like.

"I thought I had already estimated him very highly, but I didn't expect him to be even more powerful than I imagined."

Ling Xue was astonished in her heart. After Ling Chen defeated Ling Hai, she always wanted to spar with Ling Chen, but seeing Ling Chen's current strength, even Heaven Cloud Half Saint was defeated by him, this spar seems unnecessary.

"What, even Heaven Cloud Half Saint isn't a match for this kid?"

Ling Hai and Ling Feng's expressions became extremely ugly. They came here to kill Ling Chen, relying on Heaven Cloud Half Saint as their greatest support. They didn't expect Heaven Cloud Half Saint to be defeated by Ling Chen, yet Heaven Cloud Half Saint was indeed soundly defeated right under their noses.

"No wonder he's a genius of the Ling Family, reaching such a terrifying level."

Kong Xuan and the beautiful female were equally shocked. They had heard that the young generation's geniuses could challenge across levels, and the truly exceptional ones could even annihilate a Half-Saint in a turning hand. Ling Yuxuan of the Ling Family was such a being, but they didn't expect Ling Yu to also reach this level.

It seems their decision to follow was certainly a wise one.

"Ling Hai, Ling Feng, you dare attack your own family's descendants? This is a grave crime. Even if you're direct lineral descendants of the family, you must be expelled from the house. Why aren't you surrendering now and admitting your guilt?"

Ling Xue coldly eyed Ling Hai, Ling Feng, and others, shouting sternly.

"Surrender? Dream on! We're leaving!"

Ling Hai called out to Ling Feng behind him, and then his eyes flashed as he quickly streaked toward the rear side of the ship.

"Don't let them escape!"

Ling Xue shouted coldly. While she didn't intend to kill the two, she definitely wanted to capture them this time and take them back to the family for punishment.

If these two escape now, they surely wouldn't admit their actions when they return to the family later.

Ling Chen paid no mind to Ling Hai and Ling Feng. His attention was entirely on the heavily injured Heaven Cloud Half Saint, who currently had no power to resist. Capturing him shouldn't be difficult.

This Heaven Cloud Half Saint might be a spy. Whether or not he is, capturing and interrogating him later will make it clear.

However, just as Ling Chen was about to capture Heaven Cloud Half Saint, with a sudden "boom," the entire sea shook violently. Ling Chen turned his gaze towards the source of the disturbance, where the space was fluctuating intensely, and several figures were engaged in fierce combat.

Ling Chen could vaguely discern about four figures, all of them Half-Saint powerhouses. Among them were the dispatched White Dragon Half Saint and Water Heart Half Saint.

The ones from the Witch Fiend Sect were a male in a gray robe and a female in black. Both had sinister, cold auras and were unmistakably from the Witch Fiend Sect. However, they wore ghastly Ghost Masks, making it impossible to see their faces, thus their identities remained unknown.

The aftermath produced by the engagement between the four Half-Saint powerhouses was naturally remarkable.

Among these four, except for Water Heart Half Saint, who was an Intermediate semi-saint, the other three were Junior semi-saints in Cultivation; therefore, the Allied Forces held a clear advantage in this battle.

But then, an unexpected turn occurred. The White Dragon Half Saint, who was battling the black-clothed woman, suddenly revealed an eerie smile, and unexpectedly aimed a palm strike at Water Heart Half Saint's back while she was unprepared.

On!

This punch was premeditated by White Dragon Half Saint for a long time. As it landed, the space shook ceaselessly, and a black Poison Dart Hidden Weapon fiercely swept forth, landing on Water Heart Half Saint's back with lightning speed.

Bam!

The Poison Dart struck Water Heart Half Saint's back, shattering her Protective True Qi and piercing her body, causing her to vomit blood, retreating hundreds of meters, as she astonishingly stared at White Dragon Half Saint, "White Dragon Half Saint, what are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing?"

The expression of White Dragon Half Saint twisted further, revealing a twisted smile, completely different from his usual self.

"The White Dragon Half Saint you know? That old fellow died half a year ago."

The arc at his mouth widened, and White Dragon Half Saint's face began to move, quickly transforming from an elderly visage into a youthful face.

"You… are a spy of the Witch Fiend Sect!"

Water Heart Half Saint's face turned pale, her heart sinking. This White Dragon Half Saint is an impostor!

"Too late to realize now!"

"White Dragon Half Saint" smiled brilliantly on the surface, but his gaze was coldly flowing with icy intent, "Killing you, an Intermediate semi-saint, alongside a Ling Family's extraordinary genius, will be a lethal blow to the Saint Family Alliance."

Having said that, his gaze shifted to where Ling Chen was supposedly located; by now, Heaven Cloud Half Saint and Ling Chen should be mutually exhausted, he thought. However, his smile stiffened suddenly.

Because at Ling Chen's supposed location, it was mysteriously empty.

"Where is that kid?"

A sharp voice echoed over the sea.

He'd only just seen Ling Chen fiercely battling Heaven Cloud Half Saint. The fiercer the fight, the more pleased he was, thinking about reaping the benefits easily.

But where did that kid suddenly vanish to? Damn, without him, his achievements would be greatly reduced.

"Here, why are you shouting?"

As the sharp voice fell, a faint voice suddenly spread across the sea, "White Dragon Half Saint" traced the sound, and a hundred meters ahead stood the owner of the voice — Ling Chen!

This kid actually didn't flee?

"White Dragon Half Saint" was initially stunned, but quickly delighted.
