Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Using Stratagem

Whoosh—

Lin Chen flew beneath the Golden Coffin and immediately discovered an immense palace beneath it. Although not as grand as the one above, it was sizeable, with many treasures present.

At this moment, several Elders from Xindi Water City were busy fighting for the treasures.

However, Lin Chen did not see Gu Yong’an’s figure.

Faced with so many treasures, Gu Yong’an’s disappearance seemed too odd.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen’s lips; he wanted to see what tricks these guys were up to, and walked towards the Elder from Xindi Water City.

"With so many treasures under this giant coffin, where is your City Lord?"

Lin Chen asked the Elder from Xindi Water City.

"Kid, go to hell!"

However, as soon as Lin Chen spoke to inquire, that guy said nothing more and directly swung his fist, strong power gathering on it, transforming into a fist wind and smashing towards Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t change his expression much, similarly powering up, and threw a punch at that Elder. But strangely, Lin Chen’s strength at this moment was not strong.

Boom—

After their fists collided, Lin Chen’s body was directly sent flying by the Elder, while the Elder stood motionless.

This made the Elder think to himself that the City Lord was too cautious; no matter how strong this boy’s combat power and reversal of talent, he was just a Nirvana Realm Third Level kid and couldn’t cause much trouble; right now he couldn’t even take one hit.

Whoosh—

Just after Lin Chen had collided fists with the Elder from Xindi Water City, a water shadow quickly condensed into Gu Yong’an’s figure, he held a Sharp Sword, and stabbed at Lin Chen, instantly piercing Lin Chen’s body.

"Kid, no matter what kind of Heavenly Pride you are, you still end up dying tragically by my hand."

"I must say, you are indeed scary as a Heavenly Pride; offending you and not eliminating you would make one unable to sleep."

"Don’t blame me; blame yourself for coming down here."

Gu Yong’an said coldly, the Sharp Sword in his hand immediately released a fierce Sword Qi, entirely piercing Lin Chen’s body.

In turn, Lin Chen’s body immediately split in two, shattered by the strong power released from Gu Yong’an’s Sharp Sword.

"City Lord Gu, what an impressive method."

However, just as Gu Yong’an thought he had killed Lin Chen, Lin Chen’s figure reappeared behind him and said coldly.

"How is this possible, you were clearly killed by me just now..."

Gu Yong’an sharply turned around, looking at Lin Chen, saying in utter confusion.

Looking again at the distant figure of Lin Chen who had died, although the body was broken, it wasn’t flesh and blood.

Indeed, it was just a Divine Soul Puppet used by Lin Chen.

Gu Yong’an looked at Lin Chen, feeling a chill inside; he never expected Lin Chen to be so meticulous, able to use a Divine Soul Puppet and foresaw himself having malicious intent.

Having missed his chance, Gu Yong’an naturally wouldn’t dare to stay here as who knows what other powerful means Lin Chen might have.

Lin Chen was so meticulous, daring to appear here with faith in his countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Gu Yong’an’s body immediately used a Secret Technique, transformed into a mist and fled towards the coffin entrance.

Whoosh, whoosh—

However, would Lin Chen let him escape? When Gu Yong’an chose to attack Lin Chen, Lin Chen didn’t intend to let him go.

Earlier, under Lin Chen’s Abyssal Eye, he had already seen Gu Yong’an’s concealed figure using a Secret Technique, hence he intentionally fell into the trap, appearing as a Divine Soul Puppet to make Gu Yong’an think Lin Chen was killed.

Swoosh—

As Gu Yong’an was about to escape, Lin Chen waved his hand and twelve Flying Swords instantly appeared in the air, forming a Sword Array that blocked Gu Yong’an’s escape route.

"Young Master Lin Chen, I was momentarily blinded, please forgive me."

"If you spare me, I will not touch any of the treasures here."

Gu Yong’an said to Lin Chen, utterly terrified, as with Lin Chen’s Sword Array, he couldn’t find an escape.

"Hehe, even if I kill you, the treasures will still be mine."

"City Lord Gu, next life, think well of your outcome before scheming against others."

"Slash!"

Lin Chen coldly shouted, and immediately within the Sword Array formed by the twelve Flying Swords, a powerful Sword Might exploded, piercing through Gu Yong’an’s body. Although the opponent’s Secret Technique was adept in Water Escape Technique, at this moment, it was useless in Lin Chen’s Sword Array.

It must be known, Lin Chen mastered the Five Elements Dao, as well as Sword Dao and Wind and Thunder Dao; perhaps Gu Yong’an had refined Water Mysteries to a high level, yet there was still a gap before Lin Chen’s Great Dao.

Splat—

Gu Yong’an’s body was obliterated by Lin Chen’s Sword Might.

Whoosh, whoosh—

The Elder from Xindi Water City, witnessing Lin Chen’s immense skill instantly slay Gu Yong’an, realized then how laughable his prior thought was.

He thought his power could defeat Lin Chen, when not even half a Sword’s might from Lin Chen could he withstand.

The moment Gu Yong’an was killed, his mind had only one thought: escape!

He did not believe Lin Chen would show mercy.

Boom—

But when the Elder from Xindi Water City was about to flee, Lin Chen waved his hand and a massive Dharma Seal descended from the sky, blocking his path.

Seeing this, the Elder’s face drastically changed, realizing escaping forcibly would be very hard.

"Lin Chen young friend, I was compelled earlier, had to obey the City Lord’s orders; if you spare me, I will give you everything I possess."

The Elder from Xindi Water City said, hastily taking off his Spatial Ring and offering it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen saw and accepted it, his Divine Soul probing into it, discovering a wealth of treasures.

Looking at the face of the groveling Elder from Xindi Water City, Lin Chen sneered.

"If I had begged for mercy earlier, would you have spared me!?"

Lin Chen said, and at that moment, swung his Sharp Sword releasing Sword Qi, slashing towards the Elder.

The opponent tried to escape, but his body was instantly obliterated.
