Chapter 1738: Chapter 1758: Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros VS Five Poisons Elder_1

Lin Chen painted a perfect picture of a powerful masked man, while portraying himself and Chu Yue as harmless spectators.

The youth and strength of Lin Chen and Chu Yue made the Five Poisons Elder instinctively believe that they couldn’t be the murderers of the Five Poison Hall disciples.

Their status as envoys from the Immortal Palace made the Five Poisons Elder hesitant. Otherwise, he would probably have killed them on the spot, used the Soul-searching technique on them, and uncovered the truth.

"Why did he kill so many of my Five Poison Hall disciples—for the Xuan Water Toad? And yet, why is the Xuan Water Toad now in your possession?"

Lin Chen effortlessly spun a lie: "He said that he owed the Immortal Palace a minor debt of gratitude. Giving us the Xuan Water Toad was his repayment. I said that the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros was powerful and that he should give it to us too, considering he was giving a favor. But he said he owed only a minor favor, so giving us the Xuan Water Toad was enough. If we wanted the horn of the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros, we would have to get it ourselves. Then he turned and left. I still don’t know who he was."

Looking at Lin Chen telling such bare-faced lies, Chu Yue was filled with admiration.

Impressive, truly impressive!

If he hadn’t been involved personally, he probably would have believed it too.

A plausible story!

As expected, after hearing his words, the Five Poisons Elder believed him.

He waved his hand dismissively: "I’ll find him, but since I’m here, the horn of the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros naturally belongs to me now. You may leave."

Lin Chen frowned: "And you are?"

"Five Poisons Elder."

The Five Poisons Elder replied indifferently, "If you weren’t an envoy from the Immortal Palace, you would be dead now. Although I respect the Immortal Palace, I shouldn’t have to give the horn of the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros to you just because you say so."

Since the Five Poisons Elder had shown up, Lin Chen didn’t think he could fight him. Without hesitation, he extended his hand: "If you’re the Five Poisons Elder, then the horn of the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros is yours. But, let us observe from the side."

The Five Poisons Elder frowned but didn’t say anything to drive them away.

After all, they were envoys from the Immortal Palace and he didn’t want to provoke them. Plus, their power was limited, so having them nearby wouldn’t impact him.

Perhaps they felt a little unwilling, as they had painstakingly lured out the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros only to have him show up and take it. Their resentment was understandable.

Let them be!

The Five Poisons Elder slowly approached the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros. After only a few steps, the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros turned and ran.

"Trying to run?"

The Five Poisons Elder snorted coldly, reached out his right hand, and grabbed at the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros. The space in front of him suddenly collapsed and squeezed toward the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros.

In a matter of life and death, the usually mild Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros suddenly erupted with terrifying power. The horn on its head emitted a rainbow-colored radiance. The radiance spread, creating a ripple effect that radiated outwards.

The rainbow-colored radiance met the collapsing space and abruptly stopped it.

Surprise flickered in the eyes of the Five Poisons Elder: "It’s strong, indeed. But I advise you to stop resisting. If you stop resisting, I’ll take your horn. Otherwise, I’ll scatter your soul!"

The Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros seemed to understand the Five Poisons Elder’s words. Anger shone in its eyes as its single horn gathered light, forming a light sword that, like lightning, thrust toward the Five Poisons Elder.

The Five Poisons Elder punched out, making it seem as if the space around them had collapsed.

The light sword collided with the force of the Five Poisons Elder’s punch, causing a violent explosion. The resulting blast wave surged in all directions, reducing everything in its path to dust.

Damn!

Lin Chen pulled Chu Yue away and stepped back, instantly distancing them from the battlefield.

A gust of wind from the massive explosion spread like a tidal wave, even blowing away much of the mist in a ten-mile radius, revealing the scene.

Chu Yue, surprised, turned his head: "Your body technique is really fast."

Lin Chen laughed: "It’s my survival strategy. It has to be fast."

Chu Yue sent a message: "Your reaction was so quick back there. You actually fooled that old man."

Lin Chen responded: "Didn’t you say even an Immortal Monarch wouldn’t want to provoke this guy? The two of us combined couldn’t take him on. Knowing when to retreat is a virtue. Natural treasures are tempting, but we only have one life to live, so safety first."

Chu Yue, a bit unwilling, responded: "I understand the reasoning, but to just let him have it... I can’t accept it."

Lin Chen responded: "Watch the show first. The Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros doesn’t seem easy to deal with either. We need to seize the right moment."

Chu Yue murmured softly, "If only they could both end up severely injured, that would be great."

By this time, the fight between the Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros and the Five Poisons Elder had already begun in the valley below and it was ferocious.

After watching for a while, Chu Yue, in surprise, said: "The Five Poisons Elder doesn’t seem to be the winning side. This Seven-colored Jade Rhinoceros is so powerful it can even resist the Five Poisons Elder!"

Lin Chen laughed mischievously: "That’s a good thing. It would be even better if it can scare the Five Poisons Elder away, kill him, or cripple him!"
