Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Clash of the Heavenly Prides

"What!? Look for a chance to escape with our lives?"

"It seems the situation inside is quite grim, huh? Could it be that the rest couldn’t escape?"

"That would be great, because aside from those seven, our rankings could squeeze forward a bit."

Upon hearing Du Feiyu’s words, the surrounding martial artists immediately began to buzz with discussion, many of them even hoping that the ones above would die in the Trial Tower.

Qiu Ya’s face turned pale when she heard these remarks, extremely worried about what might happen to Lin Chen.

"Didn’t you hear what he said? There are three people up there constantly fighting Spiritual Puppets."

An elderly martial artist looked up at the Trial Tower above his head and said indifferently.

Not far off were Zhao Zhongchuan and Zhao Zhongtian.

As it happened, these two were also very unlucky. The father and son duo encountered each other in the Second Layer of the Trial Tower. They then teamed up to fight their way upward, but from the Third Layer on, because Zhao Zhongtian was of the Reverting Void Realm, so too were the Spiritual Puppets generated within the Trial Tower.

Zhao Zhongtian, Zhao Zhongchuan, and the others exhausted all their efforts to slay them and reached the Fourth Layer.

But on the Fourth Layer, the Spiritual Puppets that appeared were of the Second Layer of the Reverting Void Realm, and there were even three of them.

Although Zhao Zhongtian played all his trump cards and killed them, they were wounded all over after passing the Fourth Layer and had no strength left to continue fighting, so they reluctantly withdrew from the Trial Tower.

Seeing that Lin Chen had not yet come out of the Trial Tower, both men looked very displeased.

Because Lin Chen, even if he didn’t pass the Sixth Layer’s trial, his ranking after coming out would surely be above theirs.

"Who are those three, anyway? Come on, spit it out."

Everyone around was extremely curious about the situation inside the Trial Tower and wanted to press Du Feiyu for details, but Du Feiyu, the musclebound man, and Meng Yuan immediately entered a healing meditation with the protection of their comrades, having no time to chat with them.

Whoosh whoosh—

However, just at that moment, four figures flew down from above the Trial Tower, none other than Ouyang Xuan, the purple-robed maiden, Deng Yu, and that bald man.

After the four of them landed, the stone stele of the Trial Tower displayed their respective scores.

"Ouyang Xuan, passed the Fifth Layer of the Trial Tower, killed forty-five Spiritual Puppets, scored five hundred points."

"Xiner, passed the Fifth Layer of the Trial Tower, killed twenty-seven Spiritual Puppets, scored three hundred points."

"Heartless Monk, passed the Fifth Layer of the Trial Tower, killed eighty Spiritual Puppets, scored a thousand points."

"Deng Yu, passed the Fifth Layer of the Trial Tower, killed one hundred fifty Spiritual Puppets, scored nineteen hundred points."

As the stele of the Trial Tower displayed the scores of the four, the crowd around widened their eyes and all gazes simultaneously directed toward Deng Yu.

"No wonder he scored full marks on the second challenge, a heavenly pride with supreme talent, he actually killed over a hundred Spiritual Puppets, nearly scoring two thousand points, he’s truly one of the most outstanding disciples of the Formation Sect in recent years."

"Indeed, this child fully possesses the strength and talent to become a core disciple."

"Sigh, it’s just a shame that even if we wanted to take him as a disciple, he simply wouldn’t give us the time of day..."

The Inner Sect Elders had their eyes on Deng Yu, all of them full of praise.

Deng Yu had good hearing and enjoyed hearing the praise from the Inner Sect Elders and the envy and admiration from those around him.

However, he knew in his heart that although his talent was extraordinary, there was someone whose achievements far surpassed his own.

Lin Chen, on the fifth floor, had already annihilated nearly four hundred Spiritual Puppets, which was already two or three times his figure.

Not to mention the previous four floors where Lin Chen had destroyed countless Spiritual Puppets.

At this moment, Lin Chen was on the sixth floor, wreaking havoc.

Thinking of Lin Chen’s heaven-defying talent, Deng Yu couldn’t help but wish that Lin Chen would die in the Trial Tower and never come back down.

Otherwise, his title as the first place would change hands.

Just like now, although some people praised the Heartless Monk, everyone’s attention was ultimately focused on Deng Yu.

If Lin Chen came down and took away the title of first place, then he, Deng Yu, would be forgotten by everyone.

At this moment, inside the sixth floor of the Trial Tower.

Sizzle—

Sizzle—

Amidst the glitter of blades and the flash of swords, Lin Chen, Qin Kaifeng, and Xia Wanxin kept swinging their weapons, killing the Spiritual Puppets within this space.

Xia Wanxin wielded a Fire Rope in her hand, moving it around with ease, and with each swing, she took away one or two Spiritual Puppets.

Qin Kaifeng, on the other hand, had a pair of massive gauntlets, seemingly forged from the skull of some Magical Beast, indestructibly hard. With every punch he threw, a tremendous force was unleashed, each possessing the power of the Reverting Void Realm.

Although the two of them were fighting valiantly among the Spiritual Puppets, the sheer number of them meant that both had sustained non-fatal injuries.

However, Lin Chen in the distance fought with an incredibly carefree posture, brandishing the Flowing Light Sword in his hand, and with every streak of Sword Light, he took down a large swath of Spiritual Puppets.

Compared to Qin Kaifeng and Xia Wanxin, Lin Chen was simply overwhelming the Spiritual Puppets with an invincible momentum.

This sight left Qin Kaifeng and Xia Wanxin dumbfounded; they had never imagined that Lin Chen’s combat capability could be so monstrous.

With each sword strike, at least fifty Spiritual Puppets perished under his blade.

And what was even more exaggerated was that with his swordsmanship, Lin Chen could exterminate the Spiritual Puppets of the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm in just a few breaths.

It should be noted that when Qin Kaifeng and Xia Wanxin fought with the Spiritual Puppets of the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm, they could not defeat them as effortlessly as Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin, you... During the fifth floor, just how many did you say were ’somewhat similar’ to my count?" Qin Kaifeng asked as he looked at the nearly five hundred luminous spheres above Lin Chen’s head, which included more than fifty Half-Step Return to Void Realm Spiritual Puppets’ spiritual power spheres and four Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm Spiritual Puppets’ spiritual power spheres.

Lin Chen did not answer Qin Kaifeng’s words, instead continuing to wield his sharp sword and relentlessly slaying the Spiritual Puppets.

After the battle, all the Spiritual Puppets on this floor were finally cleared.

Qin Kaifeng and Xia Wanxin were panting heavily, each with several wounds oozing fresh blood.

Although they were both seriously injured this time, the rewards were tremendously rich, and both were now absorbing the spiritual power spheres of more than a hundred Spiritual Puppets.

However, compared to Lin Chen’s seven hundred plus spiritual power spheres, theirs really didn’t amount to much.
