Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Sneak Attack, Power of the Divine Soul

"Let this be repaying Sister Yu for saving your life, from now on we’re even, and don’t bother my Sister Yu anymore."

"Why do you, clearly a woman, insist on opposing me and competing for my Sister Yu?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui, puzzled, and said.

"That’s my business, you’re meddling too much."

Yang Minghui glanced at Lin Chen and said with a slight snort.

Lin Chen was speechless upon hearing this, wanting to say that he didn’t wish to interfere in her affairs but asking her not to trouble his Sister Yu.

As the skeleton demon was jointly exterminated by the crowd, everyone inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the Yang Family members looked at Lin Chen with great gratitude. Without Lin Chen’s defense array, they might not have withstood even one move from the monster and would have perished.

From the battle, numerous water bandits and offspring from the two other families died at the hands of the skeleton demon, which was a clear indication.

With the battle’s end, everyone immediately took out elixirs to heal and restore Spiritual Power, Lin Chen included.

But just as Lin Chen moved to enter the defensive formation he set up, a streak of pure white light suddenly shot out from somewhere in the space, like a tiny silver needle, rapidly heading toward Lin Chen.

"Boss, watch out!"

Su Yun sensed the white light and hurriedly warned.

Lin Chen, naturally alerted, attempted to transform Spiritual Power into a shield in front of him, only to find the Spiritual Power shield couldn’t repel the attack from the pure white light.

Not just Lin Chen, everyone sensed the extremely powerful energy from that pure white light, making them profoundly fearful.

If struck by this pure white light, one would surely die.

Seeing the Spiritual Power shield ineffective, Lin Chen quickly summoned ten Flying Swords to form a Sword Array in front of him, aiming to block the attack.

Yet, the pure white light was not impeded by the Sword Array and passed straight through, ultimately brushing past Lin Chen’s head.

"This is actually a Divine Soul attack!"

Lin Chen was infinitely shocked, muttering as he quickly harnessed his Divine Soul to combat the pure white light.

It’s known that Lin Chen practiced the Soul Capture Technique and was proficient in Divine Soul attacks, with his Divine Soul inherently many times stronger than ordinary martial artists due to the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique.

But he couldn’t repel the pure white light; after shattering Lin Chen’s Divine Soul attack, the light went directly into Lin Chen’s Soul Sea.

If Lin Chen’s Soul Sea were destroyed, he’d become a vegetative state even if he survived.

In the crowd in the distance, Tang Tianpeng saw this scene and couldn’t help but reveal a sneer, secretly thinking he finally found a chance to deal with Lin Chen.

Having witnessed Lin Chen’s strength, Tang Tianpeng considered it hard to find an opportunity to deal with Lin Chen, thinking that even the Soul Shatter Cone in his hand might not kill Lin Chen.

Therefore, Tang Tianpeng needed an opportunity, a moment of Lin Chen’s relaxed vigilance.

Fortunately, this chance appeared after Lin Chen defeated the skeleton demon.

Tang Tianpeng, seeing the situation, didn’t hesitate and immediately infused all his Spiritual Power and Soul Power into the treasured Soul Shatter Cone his father gave him, launching this fatal strike at Lin Chen.

After concentrating all his force, Tang Tianpeng’s complexion turned deathly pale, devoid of any Spiritual Power, extremely weakened.

However, for Tang Tianpeng, extinguishing Lin Chen made everything worthwhile.

Recovering Spiritual Power slowly is manageable, especially since the Secret Realm posed no immediate danger.

Having hit Lin Chen with his full strike, Lin Chen’s Soul Sea was sure to be shattered, rendering him beyond salvation.

Watching Lin Chen, Tang Tianpeng continued to laugh coldly, feeling relieved to remove Lin Chen, the major threat, joy apparent in his expression.

Su Yun and Yang Minghui, along with Mu Qinghe, immediately rushed up to surround Lin Chen, their eyes roaming the crowd to search for the real culprit.

"Tang Tianpeng, how dare you target my boss?"

Su Yun’s gaze scanned the crowd before finally falling on Tang Tianpeng.

Among everyone present, none hated his boss more than Tang Tianpeng, especially since the Tang Family and Su Family were already at odds.

The recent visit by Duan Yuanfeng certainly put Lin Chen in the spotlight, leading the Tang Family to quickly want to eliminate Lin Chen, preventing the Su Family from developing through their association with Lin Chen and surpassing the Tang Family.

Thus, among everyone here, Tang Tianpeng was the most likely to attack.

Moreover, seeing Tang Tianpeng’s pale countenance, Su Yun became more convinced of his thoughts.

"Heh, Su Yun, don’t accuse without evidence. We just were part of a joint coalition against the skeleton demon just moments ago; why would I attack my own allies?"

Tang Tianpeng spoke lightly, unwilling to admit as Su Yun tried to direct the hostility of the crowd toward him.

"You..."

Su Yun, seeing this, was livid, though the greater concern was Lin Chen.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Su Yun asked with great worry; Lin Chen had been motionless after being struck by the pure white light at the center of his brows, which was deeply concerning.

"I’m fine!"

However, in the face of Su Yun’s worried inquiry, Lin Chen responded calmly.

Lin Chen’s Soul Power indeed could not fend off that pure white attack.

But fortunately, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron intervened, as the cauldron’s body vibrated slightly, and an incredibly powerful force rippled throughout Lin Chen’s entire Soul Sea.

The pure white light that had invaded Lin Chen’s Soul Sea shattered instantly under the cauldron’s sound, transforming into extremely pure Divine Soul Power, nourishing Lin Chen’s Soul Sea and enhancing his Divine Soul by several degrees.

Lin Chen felt secretly delighted, thinking this was indeed a blessing in disguise.

"How is this possible? That guy clearly suffered the Soul Shatter Cone’s attack; how can he still be alive?"

Tang Tianpeng looked at Lin Chen unharmed, extremely shocked and full of doubts.

He knew the Soul Shatter Cone’s power best; he’d seen his father use it to instantly kill martial artists of the same Realm.

Though deployed by him, it wasn’t as strong as his father’s, yet it would undoubtedly instantly kill a Half-step to Creation Realm expert. Lin Chen, merely at the Nirvana Realm Third Level, how could he remain unscathed?

Tang Tianpeng clenched his fist tightly, glaring at Lin Chen with anger, but he’d resolved that no matter what Lin Chen said later, he’d deny it. After all, everyone had been busy dealing with the skeleton demon earlier; no one saw him strike.
