Chapter 54: Ending
Ling Chen nodded. He had no strength left in his body. He tilted his head and fell on Xu Ruoyan's shoulders, falling asleep.
"How is it possible that this kid is not dead?"
At this time, Prince Tai and the royal family also arrived. His eyes fell on Ling Chen and his face darkened. This kid is not dead?
His gaze moved left and right, falling on the dead men in black one after another, and the gloom in his eyes became more and more intense.
All his plans failed.
Fortunately, these three people were his loyal warriors and never showed their true faces. Prince Thai was not worried that the deaths of these three people would involve him.
"Your Majesty, the body of the Green Demon was found a mile away."
Two masters of the imperial guards rushed over and reported.
"Green Demon? Shouldn't this person be in the Heavenly Prison? Why is he here?"
Emperor Ying Tianxun of the Wind Kingdom also rushed over, his face full of gloom. This incident undoubtedly made him lose face. Death row prisoners and killers had actually sneaked into the royal hunting grounds, which was tantamount to a slap in the face of the royal family.
The eldest prince, Ying Wuqing and others were all looking at the scene in shock. The three men in black who were killed were a third-level martial artist and a second-level martial artist respectively, and the Green Demon was also a third-level martial artist. Did all these guys die at the hands of Ling Chen?
"This is impossible."
The two of them shook their heads almost at the same time and immediately denied the idea.
But at the same time, they were secretly glad that they ran fast, otherwise they would have been killed.
"Your Majesty, the bodies of two young princes were found in the hunting grounds. According to analysis, they should have died at the hands of the Green Demon." The master of the imperial guards reported.
"Who on earth dared to commit such a crime under my nose? Investigate for me. You must find out the identities of these men in black and how that Green Demon escaped from the prison. Investigate everything for me."
Ying Tianxun looked extremely furious and everyone present was silent. Everyone knew that the Emperor was probably really furious.
"I'll leave this matter to your Majesty."
Xu Ruoyan's eyes were very cold. "I hope your majesty can pay attention to this matter. If not, my Tianxu Palace can send experts to assist your majesty. We will definitely be able to find the mastermind behind this."
"No need."
Ying Tianxun's pupils shrank slightly, and then he shook his head. How could he let Tianxu Palace interfere in the affairs of his royal family? It seemed that Xu Ruoyan attached great importance to this matter. However, even if the other party did not say so, he would try his best to investigate this matter.
"Ling Chen is seriously injured. I'm going to take him back to heal. Elder Lu Meng, let's go."
Xu Ruoyan handed Ling Chen to Lu Meng, and the three of them rode their horses and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
"Did you hear me? Check it out immediately! If we find anyone who is involved, we will kill them without mercy!"
Ying Tianxun didn't care about Ling Chen's life or death, but this matter concerned his reputation. If he couldn't find out the truth, his authority would plummet in the future.
"yes!"
Everyone bowed and clasped their fists, except Prince Tai, who had a flickering look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was planning.
…
Three days later.
The disturbance in the hunting ground quickly spread to the entire royal capital, causing an uproar in the city. However, even so, the imperial guards and the emperor's black guards still could not find out the origins of the three men in black. It was as if these three men appeared out of thin air and had no real identities at all.
If we talk about the only gain, it is probably that the person who released the Green Demon privately was caught. However, he was only a jailer of the Sky Prison. No clues could be found above that. And everyone knows that the person who could make such a big noise in the hunting ground could not be just a jailer.
The real culprit must be someone in a high position of power. Ying Tianxun was naturally furious about this, but it was useless to be furious. In the end, he could only reward Ling Chen with some training resources and confer him the title of earl as compensation for this incident.
Ling Chen did not pay too much attention to these. With the help of Xu Ruoyan and Elder Lu Meng, his serious injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed.
Three days passed, and Ling Chen's body had almost recovered. Even Lu Meng was a little amazed at Ling Chen's recovery speed. If an ordinary person was injured like this, he would probably have to lie in bed for at least half a month. However, Ling Chen was able to look full of energy in just three days, which was really surprising.
However, Ling Chen was able to recover so quickly, on the one hand, because he absorbed the blood essence of the Black Demon Ape, which made his physique different from that of ordinary people and exceptionally strong. Although he looked quite thin, in fact, his flesh, blood, and bones were extremely strong. On the other hand, he practiced the Lingtian Sword Scripture, a saint-level secret book, and the Lingtian Qi protected his Dantian and internal organs, so generally, no matter how serious the injury was, it was only the injury outside his Dantian and internal organs, so it was easy to recover.
After recovering from his injuries, Ling Chen's cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the realm of martial artist.
As long as he uses the Xu Ling Dan given to him by Xiao Muyu, breaking through to the martial artist realm will be a piece of cake.
After he woke up, Xiao Muyu gave him the first prize, the Xu Ling Pill, as agreed. All he had to do next was find the right opportunity to refine the Xu Ling Pill.
The strong true energy circulates rapidly in the meridians, filling the whole body and becoming one with it. An unprecedented powerful force emanates from the meridians.
This time, he almost went insane, but during his rampage, the magic ape's blood essence once again merged with his blood, basically more than 80% of it had been integrated, which also made Ling Chen's physique strengthened a lot at once.
sonorous!
Ling Chen drew out the Tianfu Heavy Sword and stroked the sword with his palm. In the critical moment, it was this sword saved him. The sword of General Tianfu really had a secret. It was not as heavy, blunt and useless as it seemed on the surface.
"This heavy sword has been with General Tianfu for many years, and has been used in battles all over the world. It has been stained with the blood of millions of people. Once it is stained with blood again, it will release terrifying murderous intent and even devour the wielder's sanity."
Ling Chen recalled the scene in the hunting ground. At that moment, his consciousness was completely controlled by the murderous intent and he turned into a killing machine. If he didn't wake up in the end, the final result would definitely be madness and death.
If he were not a hero who had experienced hundreds of battles and shed blood on the battlefield, he would not be able to control this sword. He is still far from it now. He can only suppress it with the help of Lingtian Sword Sutra. Only when he is completely unaffected by the murderous intent of Tianfu Heavy Sword and can use it at will, can he be considered a qualified master of this sword.
