Chapter 969: Chapter 969: Yan Ruyu’s Predicament

"Hmph, ran away?"

"Here is the Grey Marsh Plain, where can you possibly escape to?"

The shadowy figure looked around and spoke indifferently, preparing to once again conceal himself and search for Lin Chen’s tracks.

However, just as the shadowy figure was about to leave, he suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis, swinging his curved saber fiercely toward his head.

Clang—

The crisp sound of weapons clashing rang out between the two.

Lin Chen’s figure had not left, but instead, he had silently approached the shadowy figure and launched an attack.

The shadowy figure was clearly a master in the art of assassination; he had seen through Lin Chen’s attack.

Lin Chen was not surprised, as he had already recognized who the shadowy figure in front of him was.

Clang—

The two clashed again, the shadowy figure quickly reacted, wielding his curved saber and slashing down with concentrated Spiritual Power, creating a powerful blast of air between them.

Tap tap tap—

After a brief exchange, both sides took several steps back. Lin Chen showed a look of surprise, and the shadowy figure was also full of shock.

He hadn’t expected Lin Chen’s reputation to be so formidable.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly and sensed the killing intent from Lin Chen, he might have already fallen into Lin Chen’s trap.

"Zhou Xiaoyun, does your Red Soul Hall really underestimate me so much that you only sent yourself to kill me?"

Lin Chen looked at the figure in black and spoke indifferently.

There were not many who entered Grey Marsh Plain, and it was unlikely for those from the Divine Flame Alliance to act against him before the results of the contest were decided; hence, the one who made a move on Lin Chen must be an assassination expert from the Red Soul Hall.

It had to be him, the number two figure of the Red Soul Hall, Zhou Xiaoyun.

"Boy, you are too arrogant!"

Zhou Xiaoyun didn’t expect Lin Chen to recognize him and still dare to speak so boldly.

In his view, he alone was enough to kill Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s reputation was well known for having killed their elder, Xue Yuanqing, and a powerhouse from the Bodhi Hall. Although Zhou Xiaoyun was arrogant, he had thought it best to attack from the shadows.

However, he hadn’t expected Lin Chen to avoid his proudest assassination strike, and even to turn the tables on him, nearly catching him off guard.

"So far, you are the first person to avoid my assassination."

"Good, very good."

"You deserve for me to treat you with my real strength. You should feel honored dying by my hands."

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Lin Chen, his tone icy.

If he couldn’t kill Lin Chen, it would be a humiliation for him.

"Oh? So, I’m actually lucky to be singled out and killed by you?"

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoyun and smiled lightly.

Lin Chen had to admit, the other was a character with strong methods and not a weak strength. However, it’s a pity, he had met himself.

"Are you so confident you can kill me, instead of being killed by me?"

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoyun, his expression calm but murderous intent surfacing.

Since the other dared to make a move on him, particularly with that kind of lethal method, Lin Chen would never let him go.

"Kid, it seems you still don’t know your situation."

"With your skills, if we were outside, dealing with you may indeed be somewhat tricky for me, but here, your Divine Soul has been affected, hasn’t it?"

"Given that, you’re definitely unable to perceive my assassination methods. Even with your previous quick reactions, under my move, you will surely die, accept your fate!"

With a cold shout, Zhou Xiaoyun’s body split into three figures, and soon those three figures vanished into the darkness, transforming into three incredibly fast invisible shadows, attacking Lin Chen once again.

Seeing this, Lin Chen’s expression immediately became grave...

...

Meanwhile, as Lin Chen and Zhou Xiaoyun fiercely battled, at another part of the Grey Marsh Plain, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the air, glancing around with a lingering fear, confirming no one was pursuing her before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, in this plain, the range that Soul Power can detect is really too small, which really puts me at a disadvantage, and I’m not a match for those Demon Cultivators either, all thanks to that damn wolf."

The person who appeared was none other than Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu’s cultivation strength might not be in the top ten of the Divine Flame Alliance, but due to the incident with the Sky Howling Demon Wolf during the contest, everyone speculated about her relationship with Lin Chen, not daring to make a move against her, thus Yan Ruyu became one of the top ten figures in the Divine Flame Alliance.

No, she directly entered the top five.

However, after entering the Grey Marsh Plain, she unfortunately encountered a Demon Cultivator of Red Soul Hall, and he was the weakest among the ten Heavenly Prides of Red Soul Hall.

Nevertheless, Yan Ruyu was still not his opponent.

In his hands, Yan Ruyu could not gain any advantage, constantly retreating.

Thankfully, Yan Ruyu carried with her a Qiankun Escape Talisman given by Lin Chen, which allowed her to escape from the hands of the Red Soul Hall Demon Cultivator.

However, Yan Ruyu really was unfortunate, barely escaping from the weakest Demon Cultivator of Red Soul Hall only to run into the strongest, Xue Qing.

Yan Ruyu’s heart instantly shattered, feeling an overwhelming pressure emitting from Xue Qing.

Especially Xue Qing’s ominous gaze, throwing Yan Ruyu into panic, she immediately used another Qiankun Escape Talisman and fled again.

However, the Qiankun Escape Talismans Lin Chen gave her were limited and very precious.

Fortunately, Yan Ruyu was successful in escaping again.

But still, Yan Ruyu remained very scared, worried about being found by Xue Qing.

After all, Xue Qing’s gaze was as if he wanted to devour her.

Although Yan Ruyu used a Qiankun Escape Talisman to flee, Xue Qing seemed to have a tracking method and truly followed her escaping direction.

Even though she couldn’t release her Divine Soul, Yan Ruyu could feel Xue Qing was coming after her.

"Don’t panic, I absolutely must not panic. Lin Chen taught me a Concealment Array, maybe I can use it to protect myself."

"Yes, I can definitely do it."

At this moment, Yan Ruyu was somewhat panicked, knowing full well the fate she would face if she were really caught by Xue Qing in this isolated and helpless plain.
