Chapter 2645: Chapter 2665: Your sword is my sword!

"Zhetian Ridge?"

Lin Chen rubbed his chin and said with a laugh, "It looks like the Dark Ancestral Dragon won’t die for now, but it’s definitely not going to avoid suffering."

Shang Wenyin frowned with concern and said, "Are you going to rescue him? That place is definitely a trap. Since Gu Qinghai has revealed your identity, the people from Myriad Immortal Hall must be aware of it too. The ones waiting in the yard for you, apart from the people of the City of Nether Fire, will surely include those from the Myriad Immortal Hall."

"I’m not stupid, why would I walk into a trap knowing it’s one? That’s just asking for it."

Lin Chen laughed lightheartedly, "They are posting a notice, right? I’ll just post one beside theirs, fan the flames a bit higher, and then we can turn around and beat it."

Yue Chengtian asked curiously, "What are you going to post?"

"I’ll write whatever, just a response. It will increase the odds of the Dark Ancestral Dragon surviving."

Lin Chen explained, "It’s not that I don’t want to save him, I really don’t have the ability. When I do, I’ll come back and save him."

Lin Chen took out a piece of paper and wrote on it with a dragon-and-phoenix dance flourish. Then he summoned an avatar, handed it to him, and the avatar headed for the City of Nether Fire.

"Ah, I only got to use that Hundred Changes Pendant once before it was gone, what a loss!"

Shang Wenyin consoled, "At least it helped you escape disaster once. As long as you are safe, it’s not a loss!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s right, let’s go. We’ll head to the Southern Wilderness and let them make a ruckus here!"

...

City of Nether Fire, City Lord’s Mansion.

On the massive wall hung a notice detailing Lin Chen’s status as a fugitive, effectively quashing the rumors.

Lin Chen’s figure suddenly appeared in the yard, and with a flick of his wrist, a piece of paper spun out like a flying dagger, piercing directly and brutally into the wall.

Everyone was startled, turning their heads to look at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "The famous City of Nether Fire, going to such lengths to catch an unknown nobody like me—having the City Lord personally intervene, setting a trap in Zhetian Ridge for when I come to rescue someone. Is all this really necessary?"

People were stunned.

Is this kid that arrogant?

He dares to make a scene at the City Lord’s Mansion. Are you really not afraid of death?

There’s no need for any Zhetian Ridge; the moment you entered the City Lord’s Mansion today, don’t even think about leaving.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak again, his expression changed, and he said, laughing, "Are you here yet? Then let me die once for you!"

Lin Chen slapped his own head with a backhand Palm, and with a bang, exploded into a blood fog.

Everyone’s eyes widened, their expressions like they had seen a ghost.

What’s the game here?

You come to the City Lord’s Mansion to talk tough, and without even finishing your sentence, you just cleanly and neatly commit suicide!

Is this a retainer?

Before death, he actually laughed, his actions so resolute, with not an ounce of hesitation!

The air next to him suddenly rippled like water, and Gu Qinghai’s figure stepped out, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, then settling on that familiar blood-red fog.

Lin Chen!

Gu Qinghai’s face tightened, his fists subconsciously clenched.

This guy actually came to die in the City Lord’s Mansion again, a blatant provocation and mockery, as if telling me, ’Look, I’m here again, what can you do about it?’

Gu Qinghai looked down at the astonished crowd and said, "Everyone, there’s no need to be surprised. This kid has the ability to create avatars. What you just saw, as well as the one I killed before, were all his avatars. His true self is too scared to appear, hiding somewhere like a rat."

People suddenly understood.

Avatars!

No wonder this kid died without hesitation; it was fake!

But this kid looked exactly like the real thing, flesh and blood through and through, not a primordial spirit avatar.

Someone knowledgeable in the crowd explained to those nearby, "His avatar ability must come from some special Demonic Beast’s bloodline divine powers, created from his own Essence Blood and spiritual power. Except for being weaker in Strength, it’s just like a living person, hard to tell real from fake."

Someone who knew Gu Qinghai asked, "City Lord, since it’s a Demonic Beast’s bloodline divine power, how does he, a member of the Human Clan, have it? Could it be that he’s disguised as a demon race?"

Gu Qinghai’s gaze froze, bringing up the subject he wanted to avoid, huh?

I don’t know jack!

If I knew the answer, I’d definitely have gotten myself a couple of those Demonic Beast’s bloodline divine powers.

"The Immortal Path is full of infinite possibilities. Some people are truly exceptional beings. As long as one lives long enough, they’ll witness all sorts of novelties!"

Gu Qinghai brushed it off and his gaze fell upon the white paper on the wall.

The white paper fluttered in the wind, revealing a row of dragon-and-phoenix dance scrawled characters.

"From this moment forward, open your eyes wide and don’t doze off.

Your sword, is now my sword—Saint of Thieves!"

Gasps arose from the crowd.

"Saint of Thieves!"

"It’s over, the Saint of Thieves has his sights set on Valley City Lord’s God Burning Sword!"

"The Saint of Thieves is unrivaled in the art of thievery; whatever he sets out to steal, he has never failed. Now that’s trouble!"

"Really? Is that true?"

"Look at the City Lord’s face, and you’ll know it’s true. Who would have thought that kid had the Saint of Thieves backing him up, no wonder he’s so cocky, even openly issuing a challenge."

Gu Qinghai’s eyes burned with fury as the paper instantly shattered into a thousand pieces.

"Saint of Thieves, come on, I’m waiting for you!"
