Upon hearing this, the rcenary who had kicked the stone earlier also furrowed his brows and said:
"I kicked it! So what? What's wrong with there being an echo?"
The rcenary who had spoken earlier remained silent but looked towards that dark corner. If he hadn't misheard, the echo had co from that direction.
In such an unremarkable and hidden valley, there was an even more concealed cave. He couldn't help but feel a bold speculation rising in his heart!
"Enough talk! Let's go, have a look!"
Saying this, the rcenary took the lead, and with a flip of his palm, a short knife appeared in his hand. Then he slowly walked forward.
As he got closer, he could clearly see that hidden in a dead corner blocked by rocks in the valley, there was a cave tall enough for a person. But the cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen!
"Brother Wang! Are you treasure hunting? How could anyone be hiding here?"
The current rcenary, who was Brother Wang, frowned and imdiately said:
"Stop the nonsense, give a light stone! I feel this cave is sowhat strange!"
Seeing Brother Wang's serious expression, although a bit puzzled, the person still handed him a light stone.
Brother Wang quickly took the light stone and shone it into the cave. The weak light illuminated only a small part of the cave. He was about to take two more steps forward when a formidable aura suddenly erupted from inside the cave!
Brother Wang's face changed dramatically. Before he could react, he saw a dark figure rushing out from the depths of the cave under the light of the illumination stone, with a flickering dark golden glow in his hand!
Yet, being a rcenary accustod to licking blood off the blade, Brother Wang reacted quickly. He tossed the light stone away and imdiately swung his short knife towards the front!
However, despite his tily response, the gap in strength between them was still too wide!
Brother Wang saw a flash of dark golden light, and instantly felt a trendous force coming from his palm. The short knife he initially swung forward was instantly bounced back, hitting his own chest. He felt like he was hit by an iron-clad rhino and was sent flying backwards!
Seeing Brother Wang fly out from the cave and crash heavily into a tree in almost an instant, the remaining two were terrified, and one of them imdiately ran outside, shouting for help!
And as the other person was about to run, a dispassionate face suddenly appeared in front of him. He swiftly threw a punch before the man could react, and a massive dark force exploded, sending him flying with blood spraying in midair!
By this ti, the last remaining rcenary had already fled the valley, ending up behind the hooked-nose man!
The hooked-nose man had already sensed the change in situation below and imdiately said to the terrified rcenary:
"Quick, fire the signal flare! I'll hold him off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, that figure leapt into the air, landing in front of the hooked-nose man!
"Lin Chen!!"
That person, indeed, was Lin Chen!
At this mont, Lin Chen's entire aura had already surpassed the level of Spirit Mystic Eightfold, reaching the Ninthfold level. Even within the Ninthfold level, he was quite stable.
For the hooked-nose man to accurately call out his na, Lin Chen was not surprised, given the substantial influence of the Blood Refiner rcenaries who were undoubtedly scouring the mountains for him.
At this mont, feeling the aura emanating from Lin Chen's entire being, the hooked-nose man was inwardly startled, thinking:
"Is this person really Lin Chen? The previous information said he was at the peak of Spirit Mystic Eightfold, but now he's reached Ninthfold. Moreover, from the look of it, I could believe he'd broken through to Ninthfold a year ago, showing no signs of just breaking through and being unstable!"
Furthermore, the hooked-nose man vaguely knew that Lin Chen's true strength was far beyond what it appeared to be, highlighted in the intelligence reports. Although his own cultivation had reached the peak of Spirit God Onefold, he dared not be careless!
At this point, the remaining rcenary had run away, followed by a shrill whistle sounding from his hand. Lin Chen quickly recognized the SOS signal flare from the Blood Refiner rcenaries, realizing that other experts were likely on their way!
Still, considering the imdiate situation, this hooked-nose man would certainly not let him leave!
Lin Chen let out a soft sigh, and a hint of battle intent erged in his eyes, burning as he looked at the man before him, feeling sowhat expectant!
"I wonder what level my strength will reach after breaking through! Spirit God Onefold? Just right to test my skills!"
And the hooked-nose man also seed to see the battle intent in Lin Chen's eyes, feeling as if being challenged, his gaze turned icy cold, and he said:
"Lin Chen, is it? Let witness how strong you really are!"
This hooked-nose man was also proud, even though intelligence reported Lin Chen had strong over-level combat capabilities, he was unconvinced, thinking Lin Chen had used so tricks.
Now, the hooked-nose man showed no hesitation, unleashing his aura, revealing Spirit God Onefold's peak cultivation level!
Seeing this, Lin Chen also raised his aura to its peak state!
He knew that the Blood Refiner rcenaries might soon gather, so defeating this hooked-nose man ant he must fight swiftly!
Currently, the hooked-nose man was impatient, and suddenly, his Divine Origin gathered, quickly forming a spear entirely condensed from Divine Origin. Then, without hesitation, he swung his hand, sending the spear with the power of wind and thunder shooting towards Lin Chen!
Feeling the violent Divine Origin contained within, Lin Chen beca cautious, and instantly the Divine Origin in his veins boiled, Lin Chen wielded the Tianyan Ancient Sword, gathering dark golden Sword Qi!
With Lin Chen's breakthrough, the power of the Sword Qi Divine Origin also increased significantly.
Gathering the violent Sword Qi Divine Origin, Lin Chen still felt it wasn't enough, and with a shift of his mind, an ethereal aning instantly emanated from the longsword!
Swift Wind Sword Intent!
Upon striking, Lin Chen nearly unleashed all his strength.
