Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Hero Saves the Beauty

"Haha, I didn’t expect Lin Chen to be here as well. Today’s journey truly is killing two birds with one stone."

Liang Shuo looked down at Lin Chen below, his face beaming with joy.

Lin Chen’s infamy was something Liang Shuo had long heard about.

He had originally come here for Xia Wanxin, but to his surprise, he found an unexpected bonus.

During the Trial Tower, Liang Shuo and Qi Tianheng did not encounter Lin Chen, so they were unaware of Lin Chen’s true strength.

Although Lin Chen’s results were outstanding when announced after the trials, both of them were well aware that the Spiritual Puppets in the Trial Tower could be suppressed by certain special abilities and magic treasures. Therefore, they believed that Lin Chen must possess some special treasure that suppressed those Spiritual Puppets.

Otherwise, how could Lin Chen’s strength explain the killing of so many Spiritual Puppets?

After setting up the Formation, Lin Chen lifted his head to look towards the sky. As for Liang Shuo, who had opened his mouth to taunt him, Lin Chen merely glanced at him lightly and then ignored him completely.

Among the nearly one to two thousand martial artists participating in this recruitment competition, all had impressive strength, which Lin Chen found worthy of caution. But once his Cultivation broke through to the Heaven-reaching Realm, he would become the foremost among them.

Thus, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t bother with the other martial artists and only remembered the names of prodigies like Qin Kaifeng and Deng Yu.

"Miss Xia, are you well? The move I used earlier injured you. I hope it’s nothing serious. You must know, after hurting you, I felt terrible. Let me see where you are hurt, so I can tend to your wounds."

Liang Shuo’s gaze rested tenderly on Xia Wanxin, and the black moles on his face moved as if they were about to burst open at any moment.

Seeing that grotesquely ugly face and hearing his nauseating words, Xia Wanxin felt her stomach churn and could hardly suppress the urge to vomit.

"You ugly freak, shut your mouth. My mistress is not to be defiled by the likes of you."

The Purple-robed Maiden, upon hearing Liang Shuo’s words, was so angry she was about to teach Liang Shuo a lesson when Xia Wanxin stopped her.

Because Xia Wanxin was well aware that the Purple-robed Maiden was by no means a match for Liang Shuo.

If they were to fight, the Purple-robed Maiden would inevitably lose within ten exchanges and would surely die. Xia Wanxin did not wish to see her throw her life away in vain.

The Purple-robed Maiden was in fact only six years older than Xia Wanxin but had accompanied her since childhood and served her.

Their relationship had exceeded that of an ordinary mistress and maid, and they were more like sisters.

"Brother Liang, why bother talking to these two? Just make a move and capture them, and they’ll belong to you."

Qi Tianheng was almost sick of Liang Shuo’s repulsiveness and promptly spoke up.

"My beauty, I’m coming, just surrender."

Hearing Qi Tianheng’s words, Liang Shuo hesitated no more. A long whip appeared in his hand, and he leaped toward Xia Wanxin.

Xia Wanxin, seeing this, did not flinch and immediately unleashed her Spiritual Power, charging toward Liang Shuo.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell upon Liang Shuo’s whip and discovered that it had been specially refined with a deadly poison.

"Miss Xia, be careful, that man’s whip is laced with some kind of potent poison," Lin Chen warned.

Xia Wanxin’s expression changed upon hearing this, realizing why she had so easily been defeated by Liang Shuo in their previous fight—it was the poison in his whip.

Upon this realization, Xia Wanxin formed a Seal Decision with both hands, and a powerful Flame power instantly burst forth from her. It shot upward and transformed into a Phoenix engulfed in flames.

"The princess has even resorted to this technique; this man must indeed be a formidable opponent," the Purple-robed Maiden worried as she saw Xia Wanxin’s move, her brow deeply furrowed and her small face full of concern.

"Hehe, my beauty, I had no idea you could transform into this form—an eye-opening revelation indeed. But what of it," Liang Shuo sneered evilly and threw his whip toward the Phoenix that Xia Wanxin had become. Then, with a Seal Decision, the black whip turned into a massive drill that plummeted down toward Xia Wanxin.

Boom—

The great pressure of the drill, upon impacting the Flame Phoenix that Xia Wanxin had become, immediately caused her to let out a mournful cry.

Hate glinted in Xia Wanxin’s eyes, well aware she was no match for Liang Shuo.

Yet, even if it meant perishing together, she refused to fall into Liang Shuo’s hands.

Without hesitation, Xia Wanxin charged into the sky, braving the massive drill’s pressure and lunging straight for Liang Shuo.

However, the power of the drill was overwhelming, and Xia Wanxin could not get close to Liang Shuo.

"Hehe, you little wench, you still think about dying together with me. That’s quite a character, and I like it," Liang Shuo chuckled.

"Too bad, your wish won’t be realized. I’ll let you see the gap between us right now," Liang Shuo declared arrogantly as he waved his hand, intensifying the Spiritual Power flowing into the pitch-black whip, making the drill heavier still.

"Not good!" Lin Chen’s expression darkened, knowing that Xia Wanxin couldn’t withstand this heavy blow. In an instant, his form shifted, and with the use of the Purple Cloud Wing Body Technique, he left an afterimage on the spot. Within two breaths, he had reached Xia Wanxin’s side.

Boom—

The overwhelming impact of the drill struck Xia Wanxin, reverting her to her original human form.

Seeing the massive drill descending from the sky, Xia Wanxin slowly closed her eyes. Dying under its assault seemed like a better outcome than falling into the disgusting Liang Shuo’s hands.

Just as Xia Wanxin was about to close her eyes, she seemed to slowly see a handsome face approaching her in her vision, wrapping his arms around her.

Thinking it was just a dying illusion, Xia Wanxin, who had never been so close to a man before, bravely reached out and embraced him.
