Chapter 498: 498

Screech screech screech—

Countless Sword Qi Wind Blades bombarded the spiritual hand that was descending from the sky above.

In a short moment, the winds ceased and the swords fell, and the large hand in the sky above dispersed as well.

At this moment, on the palm of Shi Xinghai, there were traces of fresh blood falling, and the sleeves of his robe were also slashed with several cuts by the Sword Qi.

Lin Chen’s eyes were fixated on Shi Xinghai. The previous move, the Roaring Gale, had forced him to use ninety percent of his strength, whereas Shi Xinghai had merely used a casual move.

In Shi Xinghai’s eyes, he didn’t seem to take Lin Chen’s attack seriously at all.

However, after this second exchange of blows, Shi Xinghai would probably not probe any further.

But Lin Chen was thinking about another matter; judging from Shi Xinghai’s attitude, he didn’t seem to be grieving over the death of his son. In that case, why was Shi Xinghai going to such great lengths to mobilize the entire force of the Xuan Yin Sect to deal with him?

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense swept around and discovered that within a hundred miles nearby, there were at least thirty to forty thousand Xuan Yin Sect experts hidden, truly a case of leaving the nest in full force.

Such a great mobilization, just to avenge his son?

The key issue was that Shi Xinghai’s face didn’t show a trace of sorrow.

Moreover, Lin Chen had previously received news from Black Crow of the Dark Division in the far off Da Yun Kingdom that although the Xuan Yin Sect belonged to the Frost Chill Kingdom and was apparently affiliated with the Divine Flame Alliance, the Xuan Yin Sect seemed to be colluding with the Red Soul Hall in private.

If that was really the case, the actions of the Xuan Yin Sect at this moment could be manipulated by the Red Soul Hall from behind the scenes, and that would explain everything.

And indeed, the reality was just as Lin Chen had speculated.

Shi Xinghai had less than ten years left to live, and he urgently needed high-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures for a breakthrough in his cultivation to extend his life.

Yet his Cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Human Realm, and he would need at least sixth-grade Treasures or elixirs to significantly affect him, which he could not possibly obtain with his contributions within the Divine Flame Alliance.

But it was different for the Red Soul Hall.

At the time of Shi Shangli’s death, Martial Artists from the Red Soul Hall had approached Shi Xinghai, informing him that there was a profit to be made if only he followed their plan.

Shi Xinghai did not hesitate for a moment and agreed on the spot.

The first step of the Red Soul Hall’s plan was for them to lure Lin Chen and kill him.

The more Martial Artists related to Lin Chen that they killed, the better.

"Kid, if your strength is only at this level, you can go to your death,"

Shi Xinghai said indifferently, with a smile on his lips, for he had already probed Lin Cheng’s strength and it was far from as formidable as the Red Soul Hall had claimed.

Thereupon, Shi Xinghai no longer held back and attacked Lin Chen with full force.

As a warrior of the Heavenly Human Realm, Shi Xinghai’s strength was incomparable to Lin Chen’s.

Lin Chen also knew that he couldn’t kill Shi Xinghai with just his swordsmanship.

However, the strongest attack his Second Soul Division now had was not swordsmanship.

Hum—

A silver bow and arrow appeared in Lin Chen’s hands.

This bow and arrow were also of Earth-Level Mid-Grade quality, forged by Lin Chen using countless Treasures, and it was not much inferior to the Blazing Flame Divine Bow in Lin Chen’s original body’s hands.

Immediately, Lin Chen loaded ten Thunder Chasing Arrow Feathers onto the bow.

He then released his Spiritual Power, channeling all his body’s strength into the Thunder Chasing Arrow Feathers in his hands.

The powers of the True Meaning of the Wind, the True Intent of Thunder, and the Blue Lotus Divine Flame quickly merged.

This put an enormous strain on Lin Chen’s body. He struggled to pull the bow fully, and as he did, countless cracks appeared across his body, resulting in serious injuries.

Although the physique of Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was a Supreme God Body, it wasn’t as formidable as the original body’s Ancient Divine Body, nor did it have the same terrifying healing capabilities.

Whoosh whoosh—

Boom—

The moment the Arrow Feathers left the bow, they were already in front of Shi Xinghai and the elders of the Xuan Yin Sect, who had no time to react.

The explosion from the merging of various powers immediately produced a thunderous sound, and countless Xuan Yin Sect disciples died under this one arrow, and even some of the Sect elders were slain.

Shi Xinghai, too, was covered in fresh blood from the blast of this one arrow, with an arm severed.

Looking intently at Lin Chen, Shi Xinghai finally realized the warning of the Red Soul Hall and understood that this young man was indeed not easily dealt with.

"Kill him. Whoever takes this boy’s life, no matter who it is, will become the Young Sect Master of the Xuan Yin Sect,"

With severe injuries, Shi Xinghai worried that Lin Chen might have other powers and didn’t dare to advance himself. He immediately ordered the disciples behind him to engage in close combat.

Under the ’enticement’ of the position of Young Sect Master, the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect plunged into madness, all rushing to slay Lin Chen and his companions.

After firing those ten arrows, Lin Chen temporarily had no power left to fight, and he glanced at Yang Yuemin and the others.

"Master, let’s first escape to the nearby mountain. Once I set up a defensive formation and tend to our injuries, we can talk further,"

Lin Chen said, turning towards Yang Yuemin.

Yang Yuemin and Li Hanyi, seeing Lin Chen’s injuries, did not hesitate for a moment; they turned to flee, supporting Lin Chen, their speed unrivaled by the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect.

Meanwhile, Xu Lianyu and Wang Yilin took out high-grade Swiftness Talismans to enhance their speed tremendously.

Hua Lianxin was naturally swift and did not need assistance, while Su Yingzhou led Su Jinghan and the others from Haiyue Commerce.

In no time at all, the group found refuge on a peninsula in the sea, with no other Martial Artists around. Lin Chen immediately asked Yang Yuemin and Li Hanyi to lead everyone to that island.

Afterward, Lin Chen took out several Array Plates and began setting up a Triple-Layer Defensive Array on the island.

While setting up the formation, Lin Chen also took out elixirs to consume, recovering from his injuries.

"Disciple, you should focus on healing for now. I’ve already set up a defensive array, and our pursuers haven’t caught up yet, there’s no need to rush, your wellbeing is what’s most important,"

Yang Yuemin looked at the numerous cracks on Lin Chen’s body with concern.
