Primordial Emperor

Lin Chen always thought that in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, even if someone wanted to take his life, they would weigh the rules of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace and wouldn't dare to act openly.

After all, the Law Enforcement Hall of Yunlong Heavenly Palace is not just for show, and it will impose the most severe punishment on those who kill disciples.

This system can restrain most people but cannot stop desperadoes.

But Lin Chen overlooked one point, which is those hidden within the Yunlong Heavenly Palace who are not disciples of the palace themselves.

Just like the person before him, even if he killed Lin Chen and would be hunted by Yunlong Heavenly Palace, the space seal formation had been set up. If he truly killed Lin Chen and left quietly, by the time the space seal formation effect disappeared and Yunlong Heavenly Palace noticed, it would be too late.

This time, Lin Chen was able to avoid the assassination attempt thanks to the five million low-grade spirit crystals given by Wang Tong, allowing his Three Pure Spirits Painting Technique to breakthrough to the Tenth Layer, strengthening his Divine Soul and making his perception even sharper.

Otherwise, Lin Chen might not have been able to dodge this attack.

"I have no acquaintance or grievance with you. Why do you want to kill me?" Lin Chen asked coldly, looking at the gray-robed man in front of him.

In fact, Lin Chen had some guesses about the identity of the grey-robed man in his heart.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, the grey-robed man remained silent and only raised a heavy sword, taking a stance to charge.

The next moment, the man's figure disappeared from the spot, turning into a flash of light, holding a sharp sword and slashing toward Lin Chen at a speed that was the fastest Lin Chen had seen among martial artists using swords, and he was using a heavy sword.

Seeing this, Lin Chen dared not be careless and immediately operated the Wind Technique and Purple Thunder Shield Technique to the extreme, flickering his figure to evade the man's attack.

At the same time, Lin Chen integrated the Wind Intent into his sword moves, wielding the sharp sword to counterattack.

The fierce Wind Blades continued to collide with the domineering Sword Qi of the man's heavy sword, and the two began to fight, with flashes of knives and sword shadows appearing. Countless strong energies spread to the surroundings, but due to the space seal formation, the dense forest outside remained quiet, without any sense of fluctuation detectable within the formation.

An hour passed, and the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, with both Lin Chen and Ao Guang covered in numerous sword wounds.

However, although Ao Guang's attacks were more powerful, at this moment Lin Chen's condition was entirely superior to Ao Guang.

Lin Chen's Sword Qi was not weaker than Ao Guang's heavy sword, inflicting severe injuries on Ao Guang.

Similarly, Ao Guang's Sword Qi inflicted injuries on Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen's physique was incredibly strong, and even when Ao Guang's Sword Qi landed on him, it only left slight marks on his skin.

But Lin Chen's attacks left deep wounds on Ao Guang.

Relying on his powerful recovery power, Lin Chen forced Ao Guang to exhaust his energy, dragging his injuries to the point where Ao Guang's combat power became increasingly strained.

Slashing—

Two Sword Lights flashed, landing on both Lin Chen and Ao Guang.

Under the Sword Light, the bodies of both splattered fresh blood, but Lin Chen touched his wound indifferently, as the injury was rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, Ao Guang was extremely weak, breathing heavily.

"Is this guy really just a Nirvana Realm Sixth Level martial artist? His physique is so formidable, and he has such an extraordinary recovery ability."

"I never thought that this space seal formation would become my restriction." Ao Guang chuckled bitterly to himself, full of self-mockery.

He never expected that Lin Chen's mere Nirvana Realm Sixth Level cultivation would exhibit such ferocity in combat power.

The space seal formation he deployed, spanning a radius of ten miles, was initially used to isolate the outside aura and prevent Lin Chen from escaping, but now it had become his trap.

Before the space seal formation dissipated, he was unable to leave.

Wasn't this making him a trapped beast, being slaughtered by Lin Chen in the formation?

As time dragged on, his spiritual power consumption grew, his injuries worsened, and in the end, he would only be dragged to death by Lin Chen.

Moreover, if Lin Chen did not kill him but instead captured him alive and handed him over to the Yunlong Heavenly Palace Law Enforcement Hall, the situation would be worse than death.

Thinking of this, Ao Guang gritted his teeth fiercely, making a decision in his heart.

He raised the heavy sword high, and a powerful force erupted from his hand, surging towards the heavy sword with full force.

Immediately, the heavy sword emitted an incredibly dazzling white light.

"This guy is actually going to self-destruct!" Lin Chen's heart was shocked as he looked at the gray-robed man.

A self-destruction of a Fourth Layer of the Creation Realm expert was not a joke; it seemed he had pushed the opponent too hard.

"Mountain Splitter Seal! Go!"

Seeing the powerful energy erupting from the gray-robed man's heavy sword, Lin Chen immediately waved his hand, releasing the Mountain Splitter Seal, transforming into a giant mountain blocking in front of him.

Then, Lin Chen hurriedly took out talisman inscriptions, slapping them onto himself, transforming into earth-colored defensive shields.

Looking at the multiple shields over himself, Lin Chen also channeled spiritual power into his vestment robe, which then emitted a bright silver light, protecting Lin Chen.

The multiple defenses were executed almost instantly by Lin Chen, neatly and cleanly.

No joke, this might be fatal, Lin Chen had to take it seriously.

Boom—

As Lin Chen deployed multiple defensive measures, the gray-robed man's heavy sword exploded with him, and an incomparably powerful shockwave spread from the gray-robed man as the center towards the surroundings.

Boom—

Under this shock, the giant mountain formed by the Mountain Splitter Seal immediately trembled, with numerous cracks appearing on it.

Noticing this, Lin Chen felt both pained and hurriedly waved his hand, taking back the Mountain Splitter Seal.

Without the Mountain Splitter Seal to block, the self-destructive energy impact of the gray-robed man fell onto the defensive shield on Lin Chen.

Fortunately, with the Mountain Splitter Seal blocking, the shockwave's strength was greatly weakened.

Crack—

Despite being greatly weakened, the self-destructive shockwave quickly shattered Lin Chen's first defensive shield.

Then came the second one, and the third one.

Finally, all the shield talismans Lin Chen deployed in front of him were destroyed, and the shockwave impacted Lin Chen's body.
