Chapter 1516: Chapter 1536 - No need to hold back, only one of us, her and I, can live!_1

At the peak of the mountains, Lin Chen paused his steps, glanced back, then plunged down into the dense forest below.

Zhong Quan hurried from the rear and closely followed him into the forest.

Lin Chen took out the Wind-Banner and released Lei Zhenxiu and Yao Xuanji. Then, he cast Life and Death Secret Art directly, imprinting each individual with a Death Mark to shield their vitality and breath.

Feeling the sudden disappearance of his vital force, Zhong Quan looked at Lin Chen with an incredulous expression, his gaze now filled with more peculiarities.

He had never imagined that in face of a great catastrophe, plunged into an inescapable trap, it would be Lin Chen who broke through the death trap and led everyone to safety.

He knew the origin of that sword qi, knew it had cut through Peak True Immortals, and Peak Golden Immortals. However, the horrifying strike today still made his heart tremble.

Too powerful!

The three sword qi was merely a gift bestowed by Li Yongzhi’s incarnation upon Lin Chen, if his incarnation was like this, how strong could he himself be?

Lei Zhenxiu sat on the ground, covered in blood. The look in her eyes towards Lin Chen was filled with shock and shame.

Upon seeing Lin Chen approach their adversaries while uttering words of surrender, she believed it at first glance and was then filled with anger. After all, wasn’t it quite normal for cultivators to do such things to save their lives?

Her anger was simply because Miss Weijiao had feelings for Lin Chen and Lin Chen had betrayed her.

Now recalling Miss Weijiao’s sudden shout, she knew that the same action seemed like betrayal in her eyes, but in Miss Weijiao’s eyes, she knew what Lin Chen was up to, which is why she instantly provided the most apt cooperation, attracted their attention, and allowed Lin Chen to land a decisive blow.

"Lin Chen, I’m sorry!"

Lei Zhenxiu offered an apology to Lin Chen before attending to her own injuries.

Lin Chen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Senior, why are you apologizing to me?"

Lei Zhenxiu replied softly, "When I saw you plotting to approach them, I thought you were really afraid of death and betrayed Miss Weijiao by surrendering of your own accord..."

Lin Chen realised what she meant and laughed, "What’s there to apologize for? It just shows how realistic my acting was. If I can’t fool my own people, how could I fool the enemy?"

Lin Chen took out the Shengling Pearl, "Let me treat your wounds first."

Lin Chen pressed the Shengling Pearl on Lei Zhenxiu’s body, adjusted the position of her broken bones, and then infused a considerable amount of Immortal Spirit Qi.

Lei Zhenxiu’s injuries healed rapidly. Although the effect of the Shengling Pearl on an immortal body was somewhat reduced, it was always effective, prolonging only the treatment time.

Watching her healing bones and swiftly abating internal injuries, Lei Zhenxiu couldn’t help but look astonished.

"What magical treasure is this? It’s very helpful for healing injuries."

Lin Chen replied, "Shengling Pearl, the Sect treasure of a Cultivation Sect in the Barren Wilderness, I happened to stumble upon it."

Yao Xuanji, who had already understood Lin Chen’s means, was not surprised at all. He merely stared at Lin Chen and murmured, "I’ve implicated you this time. Your last life-saving trick has been used up..."

Lin Chen laughed it off: "Where is it about dragging me down? If you hadn’t come to find me and quietly went to the South Sea, you might not have been targeted. Regardless of the reason, as long as we’re safe now, that’s the best outcome. As for the magical treasure sword qi and all, just get more if it’s used up."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen added cheerfully, "You know, I’ve always been quite lucky and often come across good things."

Yao Xuanji contemplated, "Once we reach the South Sea, even if Ao Li doesn’t want to side with the Immortal Palace, I will use my father’s influence to ask him to give you some life-saving methods."

Lin Chen laughed, "Such as, three more sword qi?"

Yao Xuanji earnestly remarked, "That could be an option too. However, as powerful as Ao Li is, he is still inferior to predecessor Li. The power of his sword qi would be far inferior. If you encounter a situation like today again, it may not necessarily solve the opponent."

Lin Chen shook his head, "I’m just a nobody, so why would there be such mighty figures wanting to kill me? You don’t have to worry about me, it would be the best if you could persuade him to side with the Immortal Palace. After all, the bigger picture matters most."

Yao Xuanji did not argue, "We’ll see after I met him."

Lin Chen shifted the topic back to Weijiao, "Weijiao led the team today, and those people seemed to be following her orders. Are they all from the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"They’re hiding their identities and afraid to expose themselves, they should be."

Yao Xuanji replied coldly, "She clearly believed that she could kill me this time, otherwise, she would never have shown up in person..."

Pausing for a moment, Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen, his gaze filled with concern and apology, "Today, by taking action, you have positioned yourself in opposition to the Heavenly Dao Alliance. You have killed one of their fairies, this is a major grudge. I’m afraid this will bring you countless dangers in the future..."

Even though Lin Chen knew this matter was a big trouble, but even if it happened a thousand times, Lin Chen’s decision would not change in the slightest, so he felt no regrets.

"When I first saved you in the Barren Wilderness, from that moment on, Weijiao and I were destined to be mortal enemies. She disregarded me merely because she did not know my background. As long as she knew I was the one who saved you, I would naturally become her target. Today’s events doesn’t change anything."

Lin Chen shrugged with a calm smile, "You see, things haven’t changed, we were destined to confront her, fighting till one of us perishes..."
