Lin Chen realized that Xiaolian had already beco motionless, and he himself didn't want to linger any longer. After all, leaving this place as soon as possible was the primary goal. He might encounter so trouble later on, but even if he did, Lin Chen was now capable of dealing with it.
After walking out of the Lingjiu Cave, it was already slightly dawn outside.
It was only then that Lin Chen felt a bit of fatigue.
"It's morning already! I was hoping to lie down for a bit longer!" Lin Chen walked towards Fang Xiaolian helplessly.
He observed the surroundings and indeed noticed many small and dium-sized beasts eyeing Fang Xiaolian from fifty ters away, yet because of the mysterious stench, none of them dared to get close to her.
"Oh dear! Seems I overdid it. Even I can't stand the sll!"
As soon as Lin Chen sat down, the stench surrounding Fang Xiaolian wafted over, causing him to move away from her.
Perhaps due to Lin Chen's sudden movent, Fang Xiaolian was startled awake.
"Brother Chen? I... What is this? It slls terrible!" Fang Xiaolian, still in a daze, caught the scent, and her whole deanor was on the verge of exploding.
"Xiaolian... Let explain."
Fang Xiaolian paid no heed to his explanation, bouncing around on the spot, looking quite adorable.
At that mont, several arrows suddenly shot from a distance, heading straight towards Fang Xiaolian.
Lin Chen imdiately sensed it.
"Tianyan Nine Forms - Sword Shield!"
Lin Chen directly stood in front of Fang Xiaolian, blocking all the incoming arrows.
"Who is it! Co out!" Lin Chen shouted towards the distant forest.
"Oh my, Lin Chen, I didn't expect you, this little bastard, to block my Soul Extinguishing Arrows!" Li Gang's voice ca from within the forest.
Upon hearing the words "Soul Extinguishing Arrows," Lin Chen's entire body began to tremble. The more hesitant he felt, the more he realized that perhaps he shouldn't have lingered here.
If he had to continue staying here, Lin Chen knew he had to change.
Suddenly, he felt so strange transformation in his Tianyan Ancient Sword — it inexplicably wouldn't let him lift it!
"Save your energy. Once you're hit by the Soul Extinguishing Arrows, all weapons beco scrap iron. You can't lift the Tianyan Ancient Sword!" Li Gang erged from the forest and charged directly at Fang Xiaolian.
Seeing he couldn't lift the Tianyan Ancient Sword but still needing to face Li Gang, Lin Chen naturally had to fight with all he had!
"Shadow Burst Fist!"
Countless streams of black gas erged from Lin Chen's body, directly enveloping Li Gang, almost wrapping him entirely.
"Shadowless Light!"
However, at this mont, Li Gang unleashed a move "Shadowless Light," dispelling the darkness from Shadow Burst Fist, and punched Lin Chen in the chest, sending him flying into the lake.
"Brother Chen!" Fang Xiaolian quickly rushed over, attempting to save Lin Chen.
However, halfway there, she was caught by Li Gang.
"Remnant of the Mu Tie rcenary Group, die!" Li Gang pulled out a Longsword, aiming directly at Fang Xiaolian's heart, intending to stab her.
"Thunder Roar Step!"
In that instant, Lin Chen used the maximum power of Thunder Roar Step, rushing in front of Li Gang to snatch Fang Xiaolian away, scattering everything from the small red wooden box around her.
"Xiaolian, don't move! Just stay inside this circle, understand?" After saying this, Lin Chen returned to face Li Gang.
"Thunder Roar Step! Kid, if you're brave enough, don't use Thunder Roar Step; face in a direct showdown!" Li Gang continued to taunt.
"Li Gang, you killed Uncle Mu Tie, drove away Qing Ling, leading to her death here — today, I will avenge this blood debt!" Lin Chen charged forward, unleashing his combined Shadow Burst Fist and Scarlet Lotus Fury technique.
Crimson rays wrapped around black energy, heading straight for Li Gang's chest.
Unable to dodge in ti, Li Gang was sent flying by Lin Chen.
After being hit, Li Gang quickly unleashed the power of the Crimson-Eyed Diamond Ape.
With the beast core power of the Crimson-Eyed Diamond Ape, his original defensive power beca significantly stronger. Strengthening his body while flying through the air, he landed on the ground without any injuries.
Lin Chen, however, was unaware of this. He thought that after his punch, he surely must have severely injured Li Gang and thus did not pay attention to him.
But just as Lin Chen turned back towards Fang Xiaolian, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.
"Brother Chen!"
Looking from Fang Xiaolian's perspective, she could already see a massive hole shot through Lin Chen's right shoulder. He imdiately collapsed to the ground, blood gushing forth.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Do you think I'm still the sa Li Gang from the past with only quadruple divine spirit? I now possess the power of the Crimson-Eyed Diamond Ape. Lin Chen, prepare to die!" Li Gang flew towards Lin Chen, his entire body radiating a furious red glow.
"Stand up, Brother Chen!" Fang Xiaolian continued to shout.
Unable to bear it any longer, she also rushed towards Lin Chen.
At that mont, a red light burst from Lin Chen's body, imdiately enveloping him and Fang Xiaolian.
Seeing this, Li Gang was about to halt, but a lion's head suddenly burst forth from Lin Chen's body, biting Li Gang's neck and hurling him to the ground, relentlessly tearing him apart.
"Ahhhhh!" Li Gang scread miserably.
Protected by the red light, Fang Xiaolian stayed beside Lin Chen, noticing his pupils had turned blood red, resembling the eyes of the Lingjiu Giant Snake!
"Brother Chen... What's happening to you..." Fang Xiaolian was on edge, not daring to say another word.
Perhaps while staying here, Fang Xiaolian felt a slight sense of collapse already.
Under this sense of collapse, she felt imnsely uncomfortable.
Fang Xiaolian desperately wanted to escape this feeling; perhaps only by escaping it here could she finally grow up.
And this growth, despite everything, felt like growth to her.
"Kill you, kill you!" Lin Chen roared.
By this ti, the ground where Li Gang lay had been torn into pieces by the lion's head, utterly mangled and unrecognizable.
The power continuously surging from Lin Chen's body showed no sign of diminishing!
"Brother Chen!" Fang Xiaolian called out to Lin Chen once more, trying to pull him back from that illusionary land!
Lin Chen, however, had lost his sense of self, his mind filled with nothing but slaughter.
Kill, relentless killing.
At this mont, Lin Chen could only feel this way, seemingly being controlled by the Lingjiu Giant Snake, unable to escape that overwhelming burden even when he wished to return to the real world.
