Rescue and a Battle Across Realms

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four earth-shattering roars rang out in succession, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding void, and the colliding sword and blade lights were instantly annihilated.

Ding Xin exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other that continuing the fight would only lead to their deaths.

Without further hesitation, the two figures flashed and retreated with all their might.

Seeing that his attack had been blocked and that his opponent was even trying to escape, Jian Lingxu's eyes flashed even colder, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He raised his hand and flicked it, taking out seven more flying swords, which he then gathered in front of him along with the ones he had just held.

With his hands moving rapidly in a sword incantation, the sword intent of the eight flying swords soared into the sky in an instant, and the sharp Sword Qi swept in all directions, as fast as lightning and meteors, chasing after Ding Xin and his companion.

Ding Xin's expression suddenly changed drastically. He increased his speed even further, retreating rapidly like lightning.

At the same time, the spirit blade in his hand danced into a blur of blade shadows, unleashing a series of sharp and domineering blade lights, desperately blocking the flying swords chasing from behind.

The other person also moved his hands rapidly, forming sword incantations, and twelve condensed Sword Qi shot out, complementing the blade light, and desperately resisting the flying sword attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sounds of collisions rang out one after another, and the eight flying swords, like a leech, relentlessly pursued the two, their sword strikes becoming increasingly fierce.

Just as the two were about to collapse and die on the spot, a powerful shout suddenly resounded throughout the scene:

"Stop!"

Before the shout had even finished, four domineering and unparalleled blade lights slashed down, directly blasting the eight flying swords several feet away, barely saving Ding Xin and the other two.

Ding Xin looked at Lin Chen, who suddenly landed beside him, and his heart, which had been in his throat, suddenly settled down. His back was covered in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had been quick enough to send a distress message, otherwise he would have been dead by now.

With Lin Chen, a cultivator at the Early Dao Integration Realm, here, their lives are finally safe.

He immediately withdrew his burst of Secret Method, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you for saving me, Elder Lin!"

The other person quickly withdrew their burst of Secret Method, bowed deeply, and clasped their hands in gratitude.

"Many thanks to Senior Lin for saving my life! I am deeply grateful and will repay this kindness in the future!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "You all step aside. Today I'm here to test the strength of this new number one on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking."

As he finished speaking, a murderous intent surged in his eyes, and his aura solidified, ready to strike.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure flying towards him; it was none other than Shi Zhuangmo at the Early Dao Integration Realm from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Shi Zhuangmo's cold gaze swept over Lin Chen, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Old Devil Lin, how dare you bully a mere Void Return Realm junior with your Dao Integration Realm cultivation? Aren't you ashamed?"

Lin Chen scoffed at this, his tone full of disdain:

"How utterly ridiculous! This is a battlefield of life and death, not a sparring arena. Victory or defeat is determined solely by life and death, who cares about the difference in cultivation level?"

Just as the two were exchanging words, Jian Lingxu stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting to Shi Zhuangmo, saying:

"Elder Shi, may I have the honor of fighting this demon? I wish to personally experience the strength of the Dao Integration Realm."

Shi Zhuangmo frowned slightly, initially wanting to refuse, as the gap between the Dao Integration Realm and the Void Return Realm was vast, and it would be too dangerous to rashly let Jian Lingxu fight.

But then he thought again, Jian Lingxu had just climbed to the top of the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking, his strength far surpassing others in the same realm.

Perhaps he truly has the strength to fight across borders, and this young man has a limitless future; let's do him a favor today.

With this in mind, he slowly nodded. "Very well, I'll stay here to support you."

Remember to act within your limits; if you cannot sustain the effort, retreat immediately!

"Xie Shi very much, Elder Shi, for your kindness!"

Jian Lingxu was surprised that Shi Zhuangmo actually agreed, and he was overjoyed.

Since obtaining the Fairness System, he has been aware of Liu Yi's extraordinary existence and has been pondering how to quickly become stronger and enhance his combat power.

After that, he used the massive amount of Energy Points he obtained from selling Cultivation Method to exchange for various Cultivation Method in the System Store.

He then used the Dao Comprehension Space to revise and optimize his Heavenly Sword Scripture, and began cultivating it from scratch to hone his foundation.

Although his cultivation level has not broken through, his combat power has skyrocketed. He previously emerged from seclusion and immediately topped the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking.

Today, I've finally encountered Lin Chen, an opponent at the Early Dao Integration Realm. Our strengths are just right.

He then wanted to fight with all his might to see if he could kill him, so as to roughly estimate the gap between himself and Liu Yi, and how much room for growth he still had.

Upon hearing the conversation between Jian Lingxu and Shi Zhuangmo, Lin Chen couldn't help but reveal a disdainful sneer:

"Jian Lingxu, you are indeed as arrogant and conceited as everyone on the system's social platform says."

He once claimed to be invincible within his own realm, but now he dares to challenge me from beyond his realm; he truly has no regard for his own life.

Today, I will show you just how vast the difference is between the Void Return Realm and the Dao Integration Realm!

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his top-grade spirit blade, and a blazing blade aura burst forth, carrying an incomparably sharp edge, slashing straight at Jian Lingxu.

"Good timing!"

With a loud shout, Jian Lingxu formed a sword incantation with both hands, and the eight flying swords instantly erupted with sharp Sword Qi, transforming into eight dazzling sword lights that directly attacked the blade energy.

"Boom! Boom!"

With two loud bangs, the flying sword shattered the blade energy, its remaining momentum undiminished, carrying unparalleled sharpness as it charged straight towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's expression changed drastically; he never expected his attack to be so easily countered.

He immediately swung his spirit blade, unleashing a barrage of blade energy to block the flying sword attack.

However, there were simply too many flying swords, and the layers of sword energy could not ultimately stop them. In an instant, the eight flying swords reached him.

He could only repeatedly wield his spirit blade, blasting away the flying swords that approached him.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The clanging of metal against metal was deafening, and Lin Chen found himself at a disadvantage, with several wounds cut into his body by the flying swords, from which blood seeped out.

In the distance, Ding Xin, who had just recovered from taking healing pills, was shocked to see Lin Chen at a disadvantage. Jian Lingxu's strength was even more formidable than he had anticipated.

If Lin Chen hadn't arrived in time, he would have already perished.

He suddenly remembered that there had been rumors circulating on the system's social media platform.

The person who topped the Combat Power Ranking possessed the strength to fight across borders, but at the time he thought it was an exaggeration and didn't take it seriously.

But now, Jian Lingxu, who is ranked first on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking, has actually shown the strength to defeat someone at the Dao Integration Realm.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Chen is already at a disadvantage, with Shi Zhuangmo watching him closely from the side. This place is extremely dangerous.

He dared not linger and immediately retreated. At the same time, he used his Divine Sense to send Microchat message to the sect about the critical situation, requesting the sect to send experts to provide support as soon as possible.

On the other side, Lin Chen became increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. His cultivation at the Dao Integration Realm was being completely suppressed by Jian Lingxu at the Void Return Realm.

No wonder Ding Xin and his two young prodigies were no match for him, and one of them even died.

Jian Lingxu is truly a prodigy!

Although he was confident that his opponent could not kill him, the eight flying swords relentlessly attacked him like maggots clinging to his bones.

He was too busy dealing with the situation to even use any other methods, otherwise he would have been hit by the flying sword if he was not careful, and would have been seriously injured or even killed on the spot.

But he was by no means one to sit idly by and wait for death; his aura suddenly surged.

The spirit blade in his hand suddenly ignited with Purgatory Devil Fire, and the terrifying high temperature swept outwards, causing the blade's power to surge instantly, blasting away the flying swords one after another.
