Chapter 982: Chapter 982: The Call of the Underworld Realm

"Although I didn’t manage to kill him with a single sword strike, causing him injury is also decent."

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Xue Qing in the distance, inwardly feeling a sense of pity.

Despite the Purple Thunder Shield Beam being unable to fully unleash its power in this zone of restrictions, it wasn’t completely useless.

Had Lin Chen’s stealth attack with the sword struck Xue Qing’s heart just now, the battle would have ended.

However, as the top prodigy of Red Soul Hall, Xue Qing naturally wasn’t so easy to kill.

Therefore, Lin Chen wasn’t surprised by the opponent’s evasion.

At this moment, Xue Qing retracted the Blood Shadow Mad Lion back into his body.

The secret technique he had just used was meant to crush Lin Chen with absolute power.

However, even though the might of Blood Shadow Mad Lion was formidable, Lin Chen possessed an unpredictable movement technique, preventing the Blood Shadow Mad Lion from accurately striking its target. Continuing to use this move instead resulted in a great consumption of his Spiritual Power.

After withdrawing Blood Shadow Mad Lion, Xue Qing, holding his saber, watched Lin Chen warily, and the two of them immediately entered a standoff.

For a time, neither dared to make the first move.

As a premature strike might reveal a flaw to the opponent.

At this moment, Mu Qingxue’s heart was filled with shock. She had never expected Lin Chen’s strength to be so fearsome.

If it weren’t for Xue Qing’s appearance, she dared not imagine her own situation right now.

Facing Lin Chen, Mu Qingxue didn’t dare to act rashly since even Xue Qing’s attacks had failed to deal a fatal blow to Lin Chen.

If she were to act recklessly, she would likely be easily defeated by Lin Chen.

And at this moment, Lin Chen was also watching Xue Qing, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"Yo, yo, yo, what a refined interest the two of you have, choosing this place to fight. It really is quite lively."

"Since that’s the case, let me join in the fun."

"Old friend, you should welcome my arrival, right?"

Just as Lin Chen and Xue Qing were in a standoff, suddenly, the voice of a man came from afar.

Lin Chen turned his head upon hearing the voice, only to see a figure walking out from the Blood Mist with a cold sneer.

Lin Chen looked at the person, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The newcomer was Li Chu.

Lin Chen had been so focused on the intense fight with Xue Qing that he hadn’t even noticed Li Chu approaching.

At this moment, Li Chu, Xue Qing, and Mu Qingxue each took a position, causing Lin Chen’s expression to become serious.

Because, however he looked at it, the positions of these three people resembled the Formation Eye of some Formation.

Lin Chen, proficient in formations, saw through this in an instant. It seemed that Red Soul Hall had made preparations to deal with him a long time ago.

Currently, the Formation was missing one corner, and presumably, that spot was reserved for Zhou Xiaoyun.

These three hadn’t used such tactics at the beginning likely because each one of them believed they had enough power to kill Lin Chen on their own, hence they did not immediately activate the Killing Formation.

However, the battle between Lin Chen and Xue Qing made them realize that none of them could kill Lin Chen by mere personal strength, and therefore they had no choice but to activate the Killing Formation.

Yet, the most important Formation Eye was unoccupied, presumably because Zhou Xiaoyun specialized in stealth attacks, and leaving this spot for him would allow for the greatest effect.

If things were as Lin Chen expected, the combined power of the four would indeed be challenging for him to deal with.

After all, the Killing Formation, along with the three people before him, added to Zhou Xiaoyun’s surprise attack tactics, would indeed make it quite difficult for Lin Chen to guard against.

"Lin Chen, oh Lin Chen, you were already a damned fellow, yet even after becoming a cripple, you still managed to display your might. Seems like the fortunes you acquired are not small," Li Chu said, his gaze coldly fixed on Lin Chen, the corner of his mouth revealing a smirk. Beneath that smile, however, murderous intent was hidden.

Hum——

Immediately after, Li Chu waved his hand, and a blood wave like ripples instantly spread outwards.

The blood wave gradually expanded, eventually turning into Blood Mist, enveloping dozens of miles around within it.

Following that, a barrier formed outside the Blood Mist, its primary function being to prevent Lin Chen from escaping.

Lin Chen watched Li Chu’s movements with a grave expression.

Dealing with Xue Qing was already thorny, and now with the addition of Li Chu, it would be very difficult for Lin Chen to handle both of them simultaneously relying solely on his true strength.

Swoosh——

Naturally, Lin Chen wouldn’t just sit and await his doom; he immediately employed his movement technique in an attempt to flee in all directions.

...

At the same time, Xiao Changkong was cautiously traversing a wetland in the Grey Marsh Plain.

He constantly kept an eye out for any movement around because one could not externally project their Soul Power in these plains, making navigation exceedingly difficult.

After entering Grey Marsh Plain, he deliberately avoided places that seemed to promise opportunities and successfully stayed away from the Martial Artists of Divine Flame Alliance and Red Soul Hall.

But along the way, he encountered many terrifying poisonous insects, and Xiao Changkong barely escaped with his life.

Xiao Changkong’s heart was filled with hatred towards Lin Chen, Formation Sect, and even the entire Divine Flame Alliance.

Because his Bodhi Hall no longer existed, his martial uncles and sect members were trapped within Formation Sect, even subjected to Divine Soul Restrictions—an indignity they could not bear.

If he was not worried about being discovered by Lin Chen and the Divine Flame Alliance, Xiao Changkong would have long wished to attack the Martial Artists of the Divine Flame Alliance. However, such a risk was not worth taking.

However, three days ago, while on the run, Xiao Changkong heard a calling voice that echoed in the depths of his heart, as if beckoning him.

He could not suppress his curiosity and that call, so he set out towards it.

Xiao Changkong followed the calling voice into a cave that seemed to lead underground.

He walked for three days and three nights, yet did not reach the end. With his pace, he should have covered several hundred miles in three days, making it unimaginable how deep underground he had gone.

Not until the fourth day did the path become spacious, and the pitch-black space gradually showed signs of light.

Xiao Changkong’s heart surged with a mix of alarm and joy; he knew that some kind of opportunity must be waiting for him down below.
