C1095 Shocking
Shao Chen's eyes were fixed on Ling Jian in front of him. It was not the Fire County, so he did not even bother to look at Ling Jian.
However, after what Ling Jian said, he would kill Ling Jian even without Huo Jun's order.
"Ling Jian, come out and face your death!"
Finally, Shao Chen couldn't hold it anymore. He shouted and attacked Ling Jian.
In just an instant, the spiritual energy in Shao Chen's veins started to circulate at full speed. A dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged out of Shao Chen's body, carrying with it a huge momentum as it roared out like a tsunami.
Apparently, Shao Chen was ready to use his full power as soon as he made the attack.
After all, he was ranked around five hundred on the list of all the geniuses in the entire Grand Middle Sky. Even those cultivators who had climbed the Stairway to Immortality might not be able to reach such a rank in front of him.
So, at this moment, when he just operated his spiritual power, even those top geniuses who didn't pay any attention to the previous fight started to look at where Ling Jian and Shao Chen were.
Nalan Yanran's expression also changed at this moment. She was clearly aware of Shao Chen's understanding. In comparison, Ling Jian was at a disadvantage. Under such a huge gap, it was another matter whether Ling Jian was able to block this kind of strength.
"Die!"
In the blink of an eye, Shao Chen's attack was ready. He shouted with anger, and his palm carried a horrible power that was hard to describe. He slapped it down to where Ling Jian was.
At this moment, the entire ladder of Dao Validation became quiet.
Many pairs of eyes were looking at Shao Chen, who was attacking Ling Jian.
None of the cultivators in the Righteous Path thought that Ling Jian could handle Shao Chen's attack.
It turned out that Shao Chen was attacking with full power this time. The power was over thirty percent of the power of the silver ring. It was not something Ling Jian could defend against.
So what if Ling Jian could defend against thirty percent of Shao Chen's power? He was not qualified to be hit by such an attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A low rumbling sound came from the edge of Shao Chen's palm at this moment.
At this moment, the surrounding cultivators looked at each other.
One must know that Shao Chen's attack hadn't even landed on Ling Jian's body yet, and it had only just hit the air. Even so, it had already burst out with such a terrifying power. One could only imagine how destructive it would be when it landed on Ling Jian's body.
But even so, Ling Jian acted like he didn't see it. He just stood there.
"Ling Jian, what are you doing? Get away!"
Nalan Mingyue stood behind Nalan Yanran. At this moment, even she was able to sense a powerful pressure from Shao Chen's attack.
Ling Jian currently did not have any intention of dodging. What was going on? Was he crazy?
Not only Nalan Mingyue, but even Nalan Yanran had more or less become crazy at this moment.
One must know that Shao Chen was the Young City Lord of over a hundred cities under the Flame Country. Although his strength was inferior to the Flame Country, even Nalan Yanran could not underestimate him.
Yet, Ling Jian was actually standing there without moving. What difference was there from seeking death?
At the moment, Shao Chen was getting close to Ling Jian, yet Ling Jian was still standing there without moving a bit.
Nalan Yanran bit her red lips with the back of her teeth. Seeing this situation, she planned to attack for Ling Jian and block this attack.
Although Shao Chen did not challenge him, if Nalan Yanran chose to attack at this moment, she would definitely end up with the qualification to be expelled from the Dao Confirming Stairs, she did not care too much at this moment. Only protecting Ling Jian's safety was the most important fact.
If she did not choose to attack now, Ling Jian would definitely die next.
The Spiritual Energy within her body circulated at this moment. The next moment, Nalan Yanran was prepared to help Ling Jian block such an attack.
However, before Nalan Yanran could do anything, Ling Jian by the side suddenly attacked.
Ling Jian's range of action was not very large. At this moment, he did not hesitate when he saw Shao Chen's hand coming over. He threw a punch toward Shao Chen's position.
"You finally reacted?"
At this moment, Shao Chen's face was full of viciousness and sneer. Not to mention that Ling Jian's cultivation was weaker than his.
Even though Ling Jian was at the same cultivation level as him, so what? Under such a situation, how much more powerful could he be?
Thus, Shao Chen didn't pay any attention to Ling Jian's punch at all. In the blink of an eye, their palms fiercely collided with each other.
Boom! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An earth-shattering explosion sound spread out from the point of collision between the two of them at this moment.
The entire area around the Stairway to Dao Confirmation gathered at this moment.
At this moment, Zhao Qiansong and the others had also sensed the location of the fight between the two, and all of them revealed expressions of joy.
The power that exploded earlier made them think that Ling Jian was going to die for sure.
"Hehe, let's see if you can survive this time?
Zhao Qiansong felt much happier in his heart. However, just when he thought that Ling Jian would die for sure from the previous attack.
At the place where the two of them had exchanged blows earlier, there was still a figure in a sorry state that had retreated.
Boom!
Immediately after, there was a deafening sound of impact. The figure that was sent flying also landed on the ground of the Dao Verification Ladder.
All the cultivators looked at the figure. When they saw the figure on the ground, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
What did they see?
Shao Chen's body was curled up like a shrimp on the ladder. Although he looked fine on the surface, there was no sign of life from his body at the moment.
Not only that, but at this moment, the powerful spiritual energy of a half-Saint cultivator didn't last any longer. It evaporated from Shao Chen's body in just a short time.
At this moment, everyone felt that Shao Chen was just an ordinary corpse.
"What?"
In the blink of an eye, all the cultivators around the Dao Confirming Stairway were stunned.
Such an ending was clearly beyond the understanding of most of the cultivators present.
Shao Chen was an expert ranked around the five hundredth on the Genius rankings.
In just one exchange, he was killed by Ling Jian!
While they were shocked, they looked over to where Ling Jian was. They were shocked and in disbelief again.
Ling Jian was still standing there. He didn't seem to move at all.
Although they had fought fiercely earlier, there was no trace of a fight on Ling Jian's body at the moment.
Similarly, there was no expression on Ling Jian's face. It was like the man who had fought with him earlier wasn't Shao Chen.
"How... How is this possible?"
At this moment, all the cultivators around the ladder were shouting in their hearts.
They couldn't imagine how Ling Jian, a cultivator in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage, could do such a thing.
Not only did he kill Shao Chen with one punch, but he also acted like nothing had happened.
At this moment, even Nalan Yanran and Nalan Mingyue, who were beside Ling Jian, were stunned by this scene.
This was especially the case for Nalan Yanran. One must know that even Nalan Yanran had already planned to attack earlier.
However, she had never imagined that Ling Jian would actually erupt with such a frightening strength in an instant. The might of a single punch had actually killed Shao Chen on the spot.
The shock caused by Ling Jian's punch earlier was obvious. Other than the cultivators on the Dao Verification Ladder, all the cultivators below the Dao Verification Ladder had seen the scene of Ling Jian killing Shao Chen. Similarly, even the seven late stage Saints couldn't help but look at Ling Jian at this moment.
As for the old woman from Fire County, she didn't look well at the moment.
After all, the Fire Country was a famous force in the entire Grand Middle Sky. There were no Saint Spirit cultivators in the Fire Country.
However, the King of Fire was a powerful being at the peak of the Saint level, and compared to the average Saint level cultivator, the King of Fire was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Once the King of Fire successfully broke through, the Fire Country would become one of the few forces in the entire Grand Middle Sky that had a Saint Spirit expert.
At that time, the overall strength of the Fire Country would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
Shao Chen was the young lord of the Fire Country. His father was also a Saint.
And now Shao Chen was killed by Ling Jian on the Stairway to Dao. Ling Jian was only in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage. If people knew about this in the Fire Country, people would talk about it.
"That damn kid. It is just a spar. How dare he try to kill me? He doesn't care about the Fire Country at all."
The eyes of the old woman from the Fire Country were bursting with killing intent. She even wanted to kill Ling Jian right now.
However, this situation couldn't happen. Almost at the same time that the old woman's killing intent erupted, the six powerful late stage Saints all locked their auras onto him.
"We have no right to interfere with any battle on the Pathfinder Stairs."
One of the three late-stage Saints in the Dao Verification Villa spoke.
As for the others, they nodded their heads in agreement after hearing this.
It was the most authoritative meeting of the younger generation in the whole of the Grand Middle Heaven, and those who could attend it were the young geniuses of the great forces.
If the older generation had to get involved in the matters of the younger generation in such a meeting, then what was the point of holding such a meeting?
Although the old woman from the Fire County was also bursting with killing intent, he still knew the authority of the Orthodox Dao Gathering and had no intention of making a move. He coldly snorted, "Hmph, I'm not that stupid."
Hearing the old woman's words, the six late-stage Saints all dispersed their auras.
"However, that brat from before really surprised me. Looks like he does have some skills."
At this moment, the person from the Corpse Sect spoke. Even he, a cultivator a realm higher than Ling Jian, didn't see the skill behind Ling Jian's punch.
The female expert from the Yin Huan Sect also looked at Ling Jian with interest. "Looks like this brat has some sort of secret. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to kill a half-step Saint so easily with his late-stage Heaven's Retribution cultivation."
Apart from the two experts from the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Yin Huan Sect, no one else said anything.
However, although they didn't say anything, they still kept their eyes on Ling Jian after the fight. Apparently, no matter where Ling Jian would end up, he had attracted their attention.
After all, to be able to kill someone like Shao Chen with a single punch, and to be able to kill someone who was only a half step into the Saint Origin Stage, such strength was truly heaven-defying.
Just as the seven cultivators of the Saint Realm were all attracted to the Righteous Path Stairway because of Ling Jian.
After a short silence, everyone on the Stairway of Good Path gradually returned to normal.
"He killed Shao Chen with a single punch!"
"I didn't expect that the one who died wasn't that brat, but Shao Chen!"
"Not only did he kill Shao Chen with a single punch, he even destroyed his Infant Boy. Is this really the strength of a Heavenly Punishment Stage Late Phase expert?"
"It's hard to imagine. No wonder he dared to appear here!"
"Looks like this kid is hiding his cultivation. Maybe he's just pretending to be weak."
"That's true!"
They were all surprised and bewildered.
Compared to them, the men from the Kingdom of Huo were all gloomy.
The one with the ugliest face was of course the one from the Kingdom of Huo.
Her eyes were filled with anger when she looked at Ling Jian.
At this moment, he looked at Ling Jian and couldn't help but roar, "Ling Jian, are you courting death? How dare you kill a member of my Huo Jun!"
"I have warned him that he doesn't have the right to fight me. Who would have thought that he would be so disobedient and insist on dying?"
Ling Jian spoke blandly as if he didn't care at all.
Huo Jun saw that Ling Jian didn't care at all. He was already angry, but now he looked like he was on fire.
He didn't care about killing Shao Chen, but now he actually dared to say such arrogant words.
However, she didn't have any way to refute him. After all, when Shao Chen had challenged Ling Jian, Ling Jian had kindly reminded him. It was just that Shao Chen hadn't taken Ling Jian's warning seriously at that time.
Of course, it wasn't that Shao Chen had underestimated his enemy. After all, none of the cultivators present would have thought that Ling Jian would be able to unleash such a powerful attack in such a short time.
He had killed Shao Chen with a single punch. With such strength, it could be said that he was already on par with them, the top geniuses.
"What's wrong? Since you've spoken like this, it seems like you're planning to attack me as well, right?"
At this moment, Ling Jian suddenly looked toward Huo Jun and spoke in a faint voice.
When he spoke, he sounded calm. Apparently, he didn't feel any pressure even when he was facing Huo Jun.
The beautiful eyes of Huo Jun were startled, and her pupils contracted at this moment. If Ling Jian had dared to speak to her like this before, she would have attacked him without hesitation.
However, after witnessing how Ling Jian killed Shao Chen with one punch, she didn't even know if Ling Jian's previous punch was his full power.
In such a situation, if she fought against Ling Jian, it would be fine if she won, but if she lost, she might lose the chance to enter the pond.
"Humph, Ling Jian, don't be so proud. One day, you will die by my hands."
Huo Jun harrumphed coldly and said angrily.1
Ling Jian couldn't help but shake his head, "I don't think so."
"You! You will regret this."
Huo Jun stared at him. She was furious by Ling Jian's words, but she didn't lose her mind. She stopped fighting with Ling Jian.
On the other side, Yin Huan's eyes lit up when she saw what happened. At this moment, she didn't treat Ling Jian as casually as before.
Earlier, Yin Huan had also planned to send someone to kill Ling Jian.
However, he hadn't expected that he would still be a step too late, and the Fire Country would get there first.
