Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Facing the Battle Alone

"Could there really be so many Spiritual Puppets? The number must be over a hundred by now, right?"

As they watched the continuous emergence of Spiritual Puppets within the Trial Tower, the four people from a different team than Lin Chen’s trembled all over.

Even the man in gray and the scar-faced man were slightly shocked at this moment.

"With Brother Lin Chen’s terrifying combat power, he should be able to deal with nearly a hundred Spiritual Puppets, right?"

"He should be able to, Brother has the power to slaughter Spiritual Puppets instantly."

"But that’s under the circumstance of a small number. With so many Spiritual Puppets, if they swarm us, even Brother might not be able to cope, let alone us. And these Spiritual Puppets aren’t stupid, how could they just attack Brother Lin Chen alone? We will probably not escape being attacked either."

The scar-faced man, Qiu Ya, and the other four became aware of the Spiritual Puppets surrounding them, and they were actually somewhat fearful inside.

However, what good would their fear do? They could only toughen up and observe the situation, ready to escape through the window the moment their lives were threatened.

"Energy has come knocking at my door again, this is quite good."

Lin Chen, looking at the nearly a hundred Spiritual Puppets in front of him, couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly, his heart filled with expectation.

If he could kill all these Spiritual Puppets and absorb their energy alone, his Spiritual Spring would likely expand by about twenty percent, bringing him one step closer to breaking through to the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Swish swish—

Suddenly, dozens of Vitality Puppets took the lead in launching an attack and rushed toward the scar-faced man and the four members of the other team.

"Not good, the Spiritual Puppets have started to attack, we absolutely can’t handle such a number, run!"

The people from the other team, seeing the Spiritual Puppets attacking them, immediately changed color.

On the first and second layers, they had already learned their lesson the hard way. Just ten Spiritual Puppets had taken the lives of their teammates, and they had nearly perished in the lower levels themselves.

But what they faced now were nearly a hundred Spiritual Puppets, and they dared not linger here.

If they had known that there were so many Spiritual Puppets on this layer, they would definitely not have come to this third level.

At this moment, all they wanted was to escape this place as quickly as possible and leave the Trial Tower.

"These foolish guys are still standing there like idiots, do they really think these Spiritual Puppets are easy to deal with? Are they waiting for death?"

The four looked at the scar-faced man’s group of six, still standing motionless in place without any intention of running away, instead protecting Qiu Ya in the middle.

This action left the four dumbfounded.

With disaster looming, they still thought about showing off their strength in front of a beauty.

"Wait, what’s that guy trying to do? Is he courting death?"

The four suddenly noticed that Lin Chen not only stayed away from his own team but also went alone to meet the Spiritual Puppets head-on. This behavior, in everyone’s eyes, was no different from courting death.

The key point was that Lin Chen’s cultivation was only at the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm and not even at the Heaven-reaching Realm yet.

With such cultivation, did he really fancy his chances against the Spiritual Puppets?

Swish—

A faint glow flickered, and the Flowing Light Sword appeared in Lin Chen’s hand.

The four saw the Flowing Light Sword in Lin Chen’s hand and were somewhat impressed.

"Unexpectedly, this worthless fellow actually has such a treasure in his possession. This treasured sword is actually an Earth-Level Mid-Grade magic treasure."

The four of them were envious of the weapon in Lin Chen’s hands, but they could only sigh that such a treasure would be left behind in this place.

In their eyes, Lin Chen was as good as a dead man.

Lin Chen, with his mere Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm Cultivation, how could he possibly survive the slaughter of so many Spiritual Puppets?

Whoosh whoosh—

The four stopped in their tracks, and they had actually reached Lin Chen’s position.

It wasn’t that these four wanted to step forward and help Lin Chen, but rather that they were surrounded by Spiritual Puppets attacking from all sides. They dodged the Spiritual Puppets while trying to get closer to the transmission window of this layer of the Trial Tower but were chased to Lin Chen’s location in the process.

With so many Spiritual Puppets, reaching the transmission window was a very difficult task.

"Kid, draw off those Spiritual Puppets, obey the command, or else, I’ll kill you right now," they commanded Lin Chen.

As the Spiritual Puppets drew closer, a sense of unease grew within the four, and they spoke to Lin Chen with such a command.

As long as Lin Chen attracted the attention of the Spiritual Puppets, they might have a chance to escape to the transmission window of the high tower and get out from there.

However, just as the words of the four fell, Lin Chen ignored them. His eyes held only the Spiritual Puppets before him—those were nearly a hundred units of energy.

Lin Chen paid no attention to the four, instead stepping forward with the Flowing Light Sword in hand.

Buzz—

Lin Chen, who was apparently only at the Melding Earth Realm Cultivation level, burst out with a powerful aura, pressing directly towards the Spiritual Puppets in front of him.

Instantly, the Spiritual Puppets were knocked back nearly ten meters.

And that was just the impact of the aura that Lin Chen had released.

The Spiritual Puppets, apparently lacking intelligence, returned to charge at Lin Chen after being knocked back by his bursting aura. Although they were unintelligent, they seemed to be implanted with a certain Formation, prioritizing attack on those who struck them.

In an instant, Lin Chen became the target of all the Spiritual Puppets’ attacks.

However, at that moment when Lin Chen’s aura burst forth, the other group of four were stunned speechless.

"How can this guy burst out with such a strong aura? Isn’t he just at the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm? But that aura, it made me feel palpitations; his strength is definitely above mine."

"This trash stands alone against these Spiritual Puppets, could it be that he truly has the confidence to fight them?"

Their gaze fell on Lin Chen, and they couldn’t believe their thoughts.

After a brief moment of contemplation, they felt as if they had gone mad, to think that Lin Chen alone could defeat nearly a hundred Spiritual Puppets.

But in the next second, Lin Chen’s actions confirmed the thoughts they harbored in their hearts.

Swish swish swish—

Countless afterimages teleported within that space, followed by a sky-covering flurry of Sword Light which dazzled before everyone’s eyes.

Afterward, as the Sword Light hit the Spiritual Puppets, a single Sword Light could exterminate several Spiritual Puppets.

In a short while, nearly a hundred Spiritual Puppets were shattered before Lin Chen, turning into the purest form of energy and entering his body.

Lin Chen, holding the Flowing Light Sword, absorbed those energies with great pleasure, and his internal Spiritual Spring kept expanding.

This comfortable process continued for dozens of breaths. Afterwards, Lin Chen put away the Flowing Light Sword, and his aura had increased by about ten percent compared to before the fight.
