Chapter 1143: Coming to the Rescue
Zhao Mubai stared coldly at Lin Chen: "Kid, you've made me lose face today. Do you think I will let you go?"
Lin Chen looked at Zhao Mubai warily. The opponent's strength was too strong, leaving him with no chance at all. However, Lin Chen was determined to make the opponent pay a price, even if he died.
"Kid, hand over all the treasures you possess, and I might leave you with an intact corpse," Zhao Mubai said arrogantly, as if Lin Chen's life and death were under his control.
Lin Chen snorted coldly, without answering, and directly injected the raw stone into the corpse puppet.
"Have you thought it over, kid?" Zhao Mubai gazed coldly at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen curled up the corners of his mouth into a cold smile: "Want me dead? Let's see if you have the ability."
After speaking, Lin Chen turned and ran.
"Kid, do you think you can escape my grasp?" Zhao Mubai snorted coldly, his body turning into an afterimage, appearing instantly behind Lin Chen.
Zhao Mubai's speed was terrifying. Even though Lin Chen raised his speed to the limit, he was still caught up instantly.
"Die for me!"
With a cold expression, Zhao Mubai launched a palm strike.
Feeling the cold killing intent from behind, Lin Chen concentrated his thoughts, injecting Spiritual Energy into the corpse puppet.
"Bang!"
The corpse puppet flew out from the Tianyan space suddenly and swung a heavy punch at Zhao Mubai's palm.
"Boom!"
Upon collision, the corpse puppet was sent flying by a palm and fell heavily to the ground.
Lin Chen gasped at the sight. Zhao Mubai's strength was too powerful. Is this the power of a second-tier realm expert?
Lin Chen looked at the fallen corpse puppet and sighed bitterly.
Although it was just one palm strike, the puppet's body dimmed, losing its power to continue fighting.
With concentration, Lin Chen retracted the puppet into the Tianyan space, his eyes flickering.
He attempted to enter the Tianyan space, but as expected, he was blocked by a mysterious force.
Evidently, this guy, like Mu Yunxue, has the ability to seal space.
Zhao Mubai looked smug, gazing at Lin Chen playfully like a cat playing with a mouse, and launched a palm strike.
The palm wind howled directly towards Lin Chen, with a powerful momentum that caused ripples in the air.
Such an attack, Lin Chen knew he could not stop it.
"Will I die like this?" Lin Chen's eyes focused.
"Lin Chen, inject all the Spiritual Energy into the Five Element Disk!" Suddenly, an urgent voice from Xiaoshuai echoed in his mind.
Despite the pain in his heart, survival was more important. Lin Chen gritted his teeth and, as Xiaoshuai instructed, injected Spiritual Energy into the Five Element Disk.
Immediately, under Xiaoshuai's control, the Five Element Disk spun wildly, gathering Spiritual Energy into the central Tianyuan crystal.
The originally dim Tianyuan crystal emitted a colorful glow.
A rainbow light shield appeared behind Lin Chen instantly.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, Zhao Mubai's overwhelming palm strike followed close behind.
Upon collision, a terrifying whirlpool of energy erupted instantly.
The rainbow light shield surprisingly managed to block Zhao Mubai's palm strike, but it was already full of cracks.
"Oh, Xiaoshuai, you're so strong!"
Seeing this, Lin Chen felt a rush of joy.
"This move requires continuous Spiritual Energy as fuel. Now that your raw stone is gone, the light shield probably can't withstand a few more of his attacks." Xiaoshuai's voice, like a bucket of cold water, extinguished the hope rising in Lin Chen's heart.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Mubai was momentarily stunned upon seeing Lin Chen block his palm strike, a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Kid, it seems I underestimated you. You actually have such a trick up your sleeve."
However, Zhao Mubai sneered: "But I'll see how many attacks you can withstand."
With that, Zhao Mubai shot forth again.
"Bang bang bang!"
Zhao Mubai unleashed three consecutive palm strikes.
The first strike cracked the light shield like a web.
The second strike created more cracks in the shield.
By the third strike, the entire light shield shattered.
As the light shield shattered, Lin Chen's heart sank.
Zhao Mubai didn't give Lin Chen any chance to breathe, his figure turning into a light shadow, charging directly at Lin Chen.
His speed was terrifying. Even with the Tianyan divine eye, Lin Chen could only see an afterimage.
Soon after, he felt a terrifying gust of energy approaching.
Though the distance was still dozens of meters, the terrifying energy wave still left bloody marks on Lin Chen's body.
"Damn!"
Lin Chen's eyes focused, gripping the Tianyuan ancient sword, ready to fight to the death.
But as he took a step forward, a light shadow suddenly flashed behind him.
This light shadow was like the light of a firefly, but Lin Chen felt the terrifying energy contained within it.
"Boom!"
The firefly-like light collided heavily with Zhao Mubai's horrifying palm strike.
Zhao Mubai, in mid-charge, changed his expression, retreating several steps from the impact.
The sudden change left both Lin Chen and Zhao Mubai stunned.
Lin Chen hadn't turned around yet but smelled a tempting fragrance.
"It's her!"
A figure capable of mesmerizing men appeared unexpectedly in front of Lin Chen.
"Zhao Mubai, you said you wouldn't trouble him anymore," Mu Yunxue said coldly.
"Yun Xue, I'm just sparring with this young brother," Zhao Mubai said awkwardly.
"Sparring! Mu Bai, I consider you a man of integrity. Please don't disappoint me," Mu Yunxue said plainly, not believing Zhao Mubai's words.
Zhao Mubai's face reddened: "Of course, I, Zhao Mubai, always keep my promises. Young brother, your skills are good. Let's spar again sometime."
With Mu Yunxue's appearance, Zhao Mubai knew if he forcefully acted, it would be difficult to kill Lin Chen, so he decided to offer some face.
"Follow me," Mu Yunxue said coldly to Lin Chen.
"Alright!" Lin Chen nodded, following her.
Watching Mu Yunxue and Lin Chen leave, Zhao Mubai's face turned gloomy, his fist clenched tightly.
"Kid, you're lucky today. Someday, I will personally kill you."
At the peak of the mountain, Mu Yunxue wore a purple long dress. As the breeze blew, her hair fluttered, and the corners of her skirt danced, revealing the girl's perfect silhouette to Lin Chen.
Mu Yunxue gazed calmly at the distant mountains, silent, like a celestial being fallen to the mortal world, enchanting.
Lin Chen never expected that the girl who wanted him dead would save him.
After a long silence, Lin Chen laughed dryly: "Thank you for saving me."
"Don't misunderstand, the reason I would kill you is because I don't want you to die at someone else's hands. You can only die by mine," Mu Yunxue said coldly.
"Alright, since you can't let go of that matter, do it then." Saying this, Lin Chen handed his sword to the girl and closed his eyes.
