Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2582 - The Shadowless Lifetaking Strike

Chapter 2582: The Shadowless Lifetaking Strike
Mu Lin was frightened. Who knows how long it had been since he experienced such an intense feeling of danger. Most importantly, this sense of danger came from all directions, so he felt like he could not dodge it.
Mu Lin surged with energy as the low quality god artifact armor on his body emitted dazzling light as he pushed its defences to the limit.
However, in the next moment, intense pain suddenly appeared. It immediately made Mu Lin’s face pale.
He subconsciously lowered his head to take a look, and immediately, he was frightened out of his wits.
His body had actually been cut in half along the waist. Even his god artifact had been cut into two.
Against the attack of unknown origins, even the low quality god artifact was unable to do anything. It had been cut in half like a piece of paper.
Now, only Mu Lin’s top half hovered in the air. His legs and everything else fell down with the other half of the god artifact.
“Who is it? Who launched a sneak attack against me?” Mu Lin called out in fright. He had been utterly frightened by this strange attack. Even though he had realised that it was from Jian Chen, he refused to believe it. He would rather believe that a Chaotic Prime had launched a sneak attack against him.
“So powerful!” In the distance, Jian Chen was stunned as well. He stared at Mu Lin’s two halves as he felt great shock.
“I managed to comprehend such a powerful technique from that moment alone. However, it’s only one move. I’ll call this move the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike,” Jian Chen murmured. Even he himself was uncertain whether the technique he comprehended was a God Tier Battle Skill or a secret technique.
Jian Chen arrived before Mu Lin silently with the Laws of Space. He looked at the frightened Mu Lin calmly, but his eyes were shining with killing intent.
Mu Lin was finally overcome with fear when he sensed Jian Chen’s killing intent, but he tried putting on a strong front and said, “Jian Chen, I admit that I’ve underestimated you, but so what if you’ve defeated me? I come from the Star Brilliance Plane. I belong to the organisation under the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. Are you bold enough to kill me?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Jian Chen snorted coldly. He slowly raised his Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways and killing intent surged from him. He seemed to have made up his mind, making him fearless in his actions.
Jian Chen’s battle prowess had multiplied after comprehending the Shadowless Lifetaking Strike. Mu Lin’s destroyed god artifact was now as fragile as paper in Jian Chen’s eyes.
“D- don’t you dare!” Mu Lin tried acting tough. Jian Chen’s ice-cold killing intent left him truly afraid.
Although he was a Primordial realm expert, he struggled to maintain his usual composure in the face of death.
“Patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, please stay your hand. He belongs to the Nine Brilliance Star Lord after all. A slight punishment is enough. If you really kill him, it’ll be troublesome.” At this moment, an old voice rang out in Jian Chen’s head.
The moment that the voice rang out, Jian Chen immediately felt a powerful and mysterious power influence the space around him. As if space had been locked down, he felt like he had fallen into mud, and all his actions consequently became sluggish.
The mysterious power was far, far greater than Jian Chen’s level. They could not be compared with one another. Even with Jian Chen’s Laws of Space, he was unable to do anything about his sluggishness.
“Who are you?” Jian Chen’s face sank, and he asked sternly.
“I am the Gentle Breeze Ancestor, one of the five ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance. Patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, I hope that you can do it for the sake of me and spare him,” said the Gentle Breeze Ancestor.
“Hmph, the Four Symbols Alliance? I still haven’t gotten around to you, yet you still have the audacity to plead for mercy? I am definitely killing this person today. If your Four Symbols Alliance dares to interfere, I’ll go to your headquarters to kill him,” Jian Chen snorted coldly. He was extremely determined, leaving no room for negotiation.
At the same time, there was a flash beside Jian Chen, and Xu Ran arrived from the Tian Yuan clan. Her face was slightly cold. With a wave of her hand, the invisible restraint around Jian Chen immediately vanished.
“Sigh…” A long sigh rang out in the sky. The senses of the Gentle Breeze Ancestor’s soul had departed. Even though saving Mu Lin would be a piece of cake for him, he did not choose to do so in the end.
He had a lot of worries. He did not hope to offend the Tian Yuan clan and end up provoking the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng before the Four Symbols Alliance had truly managed to ally themselves with the young star lord.
Spurt!
Jian Chen struck out without a second thought. His sword shone with starlight as he directly slashed out. Under Mu Lin’s fearful gaze of disbelief, he beheaded him. Sharp sword Qi directly tore his soul to shreds, killing him off.
“Mu Lin is dead.”
The moment Mu Lin died, a heavy voice rang out from a majestic divine hall from the Star Brilliance Mountain on the distant Star Brilliance Plane.
The renowned Nine Brilliance Star Lord sat on a throne on the highest floor of the divine hall. His deep eyes flickered with starlight as he stared off into the distance in a daze.
It was as if his gaze had pierced through the endless sea of stars, allowing him to see the distant Cloud Plane.
“Everything is going according to plan. Tian Yao, I hope you don’t disappoint me,” the Nine Brilliance Star Lord said sternly. At that moment, a smear of coldness suddenly appeared in his eyes.
…
After killing Mu Lin, Jian Chen returned to the Tian Yuan clan with Mu Lin’s corpse. He placed his head before Tian Shuang.
Tian Shuang felt a multitude of emotions as she looked at the bloody head and Jian Chen’s clothes that were messed up from the battle. She could not help but think about how the Godsfallen clan had annulled the marriage proposal with the Xuandao Empire, which made her sigh emotionally.
Only a while ago, Jian Chen was a puny Overgod, someone tiny who did not raise much of her attention at all. But now, he possessed such great strength. Jian Chen had personally slain a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime that the Xuandao Empire could do nothing amount in such a short time. Tian Shuang was thrown into emotional turmoil as a result.
“Senior Tian Shuang, princess Xing’er and princess Lan’er are in this divine hall.” Jian Chen took out the divine hall from Mu Lin and directly passed it to Tian Shuang.
This divine hall was a low quality god artifact. The artifact spirit had already yielded to Jian Chen in fear. It now sat in Jian Chen’s hand as the size of a fist.
“Thank you, thank you.” Tian Shuang felt mixed emotions as she constantly thanked him. She accepted the divine hall from Jian Chen and said in a rather self-deprecating manner, “How can you call me senior now? Jian Chen, you better call me by just my name.”
“That… works,” Jian Chen agreed after a slight hesitation. When he met Tian Shuang for the first time, she was a supreme Primordial realm expert in his eyes. He was supposed to call her senior back then.
However, the title of senior did not come with age. Instead, it came with strength. With his current strength, there was truly no need for him to refer to Tian Shuang as his senior any longer.
Of course, the people he respected were exceptions.
“Jian Chen, this person hails from such a great background. Will his death lead to problems for your Tian Yuan clan?” Tian Shuang asked with slight worry.
