Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Are We Not Helping Our Senior Brother?

"The Spiritual Puppets have appeared!"

Everyone looked up and gazed toward the wall ahead that was emitting Spiritual Power.

They saw that this time, the Spiritual Puppets that appeared were shockingly twenty in number, each with the Cultivation level of the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Compared to the First Layer, the Cultivation level of the Spiritual Puppets hadn’t increased, but the quantity had doubled. It seemed that this was because the two teams had converged together.

"You two protect Qiu Ya."

Lin Chen tossed a Third-Grade Elixir to Qiu Yan’s hand, an elixir that could restore Soul Power.

Upon hearing this, the man in gray and the man with a scar immediately shielded Qiu Ya behind them, naturally complying with Lin Chen’s instructions.

In their eyes, Qiu Ya was a woman Lin Chen had taken an interest in, so they naturally had to protect her well.

As for the ten Spiritual Puppets before them, the two men weren’t panicked at all, as Lin Chen’s combat strength was known to be capable of instantly killing Spiritual Puppets.

The two even believed that Lin Chen used his Soul Power to pressure the three men before them, rather than using Martial Force, because he was worried he might accidentally strike too hard and kill them.

But what they didn’t know was that Lin Chen’s Spiritual Power had a strong suppressive effect on Spiritual Puppets, hence its immense power. However, when facing Martial Artists at the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, while Lin Chen also had an unbeatable combat strength, it would be difficult to suppress them like he did the Spiritual Puppets.

"Shouldn’t we help our elder brother, fellow disciples?"

Seeing the man in gray and the man with a scar merely standing still protecting Qiu Ya, the three men asked in confusion.

Although the three men had been manipulated by Black Widow and had just recovered, their strength had somewhat declined. Still, they had some confidence in dealing with a single Spiritual Puppet.

But that was also very dangerous, as there were ten Spiritual Puppets that had appeared. Once they were targeted by the Spiritual Puppets, their lives could be in danger.

So, in reality, they were reluctant to confront the Spiritual Puppets. However, they were inside the Trial Tower, and it wasn’t as if they could just choose not to confront them.

Their purpose in entering the Trial Tower was twofold: first was to try their best to reach the Fourth Layer of the Spiritual Qi Tower, providing them the chance to join the Formation Sect.

The second was to kill the Spiritual Puppets and absorb the energy released upon their destruction.

Now, seeing the current situation, killing Spiritual Puppets seemed difficult. If they didn’t take action, they wondered if Lin Chen would blame them. With just a thought, they might face dire consequences.

"Do we help? Heh, didn’t you hear the elder brother order us to protect elder sister?"

The man with a scar glanced back at the three men, offering a faint smile, his eyes filled with contempt.

Upon hearing this, the three men were full of question marks. From the gazes of the man with a scar and the man in gray, they could sense a hint of disdain, as if the two were commenting on their lack of worldliness.

After taking the elixir Lin Chen had given her, Qiu Ya’s injured Divine Soul had recovered significantly. Hearing the two men call her elder sister made her somewhat embarrassed.

"Brother Lin Chen, please be careful," Qiu Ya said, although she had witnessed Lin Chen’s ability to instantly kill Spiritual Puppets on the First Layer and had confidence in him, she was still somewhat concerned since he was about to face ten Spiritual Puppets alone.

Whoosh whoosh—

However, as Qiu Ya’s words had just finished, Lin Chen had already deployed his Purple Cloud Wings, transforming into countless beams of light, leaving several afterimages in the space with each movement. Then came a dazzling array of Sword Light, fluttering chaotically in front of the six onlookers.

Such profound and unpredictable swordsmanship had the six onlookers utterly dumbfounded.

None of the sword techniques they had seen to date could compare to Lin Chen’s.

Boom—

Following ten shattering sounds, the ten Spiritual Puppets had barely appeared before they were swiftly cut down by Lin Chen’s sword without even reaching the group.

"What intricate swordsmanship, what powerful attacks, is this the strength of Brother Lin Chen?"

"Wait, Brother Lin Chen... he is Brother Lin Chen!"

The three men, hearing Qiu Ya call out Lin Chen’s name, began to tremble.

They had already heard of Lin Chen’s infamy within the Formation Sect, and now they were secretly afraid, realizing they had provoked such a person.

They had even thought of demanding Lin Chen to hand over the Black Widow’s storage bag, which was nothing short of a fantasy.

Fortunately, although Lin Chen had a bad reputation, he was not bloodthirsty, which allowed them to keep their lives.

Otherwise, had they died there, it would have been in vain, as the Formation Sect would not have held him accountable. After all, it was not a case of someone scheming to kill a prodigy within the sect, and moreover, people outside the Trial Tower would be completely unaware of their deaths.

Whoosh whoosh—

Lin Chen, composed and focused, silently absorbed the Spiritual Energy that was released after the Spiritual Puppets shattered.

With the existence of the Primordial Transformation Art, Lin Chen was able to completely absorb it within a few breaths. After the absorption, his Spiritual Spring had grown significantly stronger.

"Judging by this situation, if I continue to climb up the tower, it might not be long before I break through my cultivation level and reach the Heaven-reaching Realm."

Lin Chen was somewhat excited inside.

Meanwhile, the six people in the distance were too shocked to speak, for the speed at which Lin Chen absorbed the broken Spiritual Power of the Spiritual Puppets was astonishingly fast.

An ordinary martial artist would take a very long time to refine a single Spiritual Puppet, yet Lin Chen not only absorbed it in a few breaths but also refined it directly. It was truly contrary to the heavens.

However, when they thought about how Lin Chen, with only the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm cultivation level, had the power to instantly kill ten Spiritual Puppets, this defiance of the heavens seemed reasonable.

Whoosh whoosh—

Not long after Lin Chen had killed the Spiritual Puppets, the second layer of the Trial Tower began to change once again.

Soon after, beams of light shone upon the seven people, teleporting them to the third layer.

This time, the three of them encountered martial artists from two other teams.

They had also understood the rules of the Trial Tower this time, it seemed that with each advance up a layer, they would meet other martial artists in the same situation on the next layer.

This time, due to the increased number of people, there was no infighting among the martial artists because everyone knew how powerful the Spiritual Puppets they were about to face were.

Furthermore, Lin Chen and his companions encountered only four people at the third layer, which meant that six people from those two teams had died, leaving only these four alive.

And the appearance of the Spiritual Puppets on this third layer was terrifying enough to make these four want to flee the Trial Tower.
