Chapter 1409: Chapter 1429: You seem pretty tough, take my sword!_1

Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

Being attacked by over twenty people, I kept such a distance and only released a Sword Qi, so why did you target me?

The man sitting on the shoulder of the White Jade Statue showed a look of anticipation on his face.

The light sword aligned itself in midair, then activated.

The surrounding people did not stand idly either. They started launching their attacks at the light sword, trying to reduce its strength. At this point, it wasn’t time for internal fights or to just spectate.

In the crowd, Min Huakun revealed an excited expression in his eyes.

Lin Chen was targeted by the light sword!

The previous two people targeted by the light sword had died. One was obliterated body and soul, another’s body was destroyed. Lin Chen was just a Human Immortal. He was surely doomed!

Die, Lin Chen.

Lin Chen couldn’t figure out the rule of this light sword’s targeting. Even though its strength had reduced significantly, he still didn’t think he could withstand it.

By his side was Shu Zi Feng. He wasn’t sure whether the light sword would attack Shu Zi Feng if he avoided it.

He dared not gamble.

He still had a Sword Qi as his last resort, but unless it was an absolute necessity, he dared not use it.

Although Lin Chen was convinced that this Sword Qi could certainly destroy the Light Sword before him, the young man who crafted this light sword stood there watching him.

What’s the use of shattering the Light Sword?

If he turned against Lin Chen and created another Light Sword, or personally attacked him, wouldn’t it be a waiting game for his death?

Lin Chen took Zi Feng’s hand and stepped out.

The moment the light sword was about to reach him, Lin Chen’s body vanished from the spot, directly appearing behind the massive White Jade Statue.

The light sword missed its strike and spun in midair for a couple of rounds. It did not attack Lin Chen again, but chose a nearby target before charging again. The scene again plunged into chaos.

Lin Chen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. That was close!

This creature wasn’t human after all, and it didn’t hold a personal vendetta against him. It seemed to not have the tendency to relentlessly attack a single target.

"Yo, kid, your body technique is pretty good."

Atop the White Jade Statue, the young man turned around, looking down at Lin Chen below in a mocking tone.

Lin Chen forced a bitter smile: "It was just to save my life, I must have made myself a laughingstock in front of you, senior."

The young man shook his head, laughing: "Even though the distance was quite short, it was almost equivalent to traversing the void. There’s a shadow of the Great Void Technique. I’m not jesting, it’s honestly very good."

Great Void Technique?

Lin Chen silently memorized this name in his heart, looking at the Light Sword outside, and replied: "I could not have withstood that strike, I could only run."

The young man laughed: "I’ll let you in on a secret. If you are the chosen one, you will be able to withstand this strike. But if you’re not, even if you continue to whittle it down like this, you won’t be able to."

Lin Chen felt a sinking feeling in his heart and looked up to ask: "Senior, is there really an opportunity with the light sword?"

The young man laughed: "Of course, killing you all would be as simple as a snap of my fingers for me, Gu Tianye. Why would I need to lie to you...so, do you want to give it a try?"

Lin Chen shook his head firmly: "I am just over thirty years old and have tens of thousands of years ahead of me. My disciple is only sixteen years old... alright, we are afraid of death."

The young man looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "You are just over thirty?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I am a resident of the Lower Realm, ascended to immortality not more than two years ago."

The young man’s eyes lit up: "So you must be very gifted then?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "My talent is average. I took the longest time to comprehend the first and second stages."

The young man asked with interest: "If your talent is just average, how were you able to cultivate to Human Immortal at just over thirty?"

Lin Chen thought about it: "Perhaps... I have good luck?"

The young man rubbed his chin: "The Son of Luck? I find you more and more interesting..."

Looking at the way the young man was staring at him, Lin Chen felt a sinking feeling in his heart. To draw the attention of someone like this might be a good thing, but it could also be a very, very bad thing.

It was as if you had taken a sudden interest in an ant crawling on the ground while you were squatting by the side of the road, and then you decided to examine it. What would be the outcome?

The likely outcome would be that the ant would be played to death.

In front of this young man, Lin Chen himself would not be much stronger than an ant.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, the light sword came again.

Lin Chen was already prepared. Utilizing his reducing land to inches technique, he disappeared from the spot with Shu Zi Feng once more.

This time, Lin Chen eluded to a corner, far away from the White Jade Statue.

He noticed that he had been targeted by this man. Looking at his gaze and demeanor, it surely wasn’t a good thing.

"Are you hiding?"

The young man sneered. With a wave of his hand, the light sword flew back directly to him and levitated above his hand.

Everyone below breathed a sigh of relief. Being pursued by the light sword was a horrifying experience. They didn’t want to experience it again.

The young man swept his gaze over the crowd, speaking lightly: "The rest of you don’t need to try. A bunch of dull-witted individuals with mediocre talents like you aren’t able to withstand my sword, let alone worthy of inheriting this opportunity..."

Everyone’s face suddenly turned grim, but they didn’t dare speak a word.

Just when Lin Chen was sighing in relief, the young man suddenly turned to him with a grin.

"I see you have a hard bone, why don’t you have a try and take my strike!"
