Chapter 737: Chapter 757: You Are Simply the Bane of My Existence_1

Lin Chen quickly released his grip.

The bowstring trembled gently and slowly returned to its original state, and the Soul Devouring Bow, which had just seemed to come back to life, became quiet again, as if falling into a deep slumber.

Lin Chen understood.

The Soul Devouring Bow didn’t have arrows because it used spiritual energy as arrows. It could absorb the user’s spiritual energy, and then condense a massive amount of spiritual energy into incredibly powerful light points. This light point would have an automatic tracking function; once released, it could automatically pursue and attack the enemy.

The activation condition of the Soul Devouring Bow was to pull the bowstring back. The greater the arc of the bowstring, the more spiritual energy it absorbed, resulting in a stronger attack power.

The Soul Devouring Bow was definitely a top-level magical treasure. Hadn’t Qiu Shisan been able to take down one Nascent Soul after another while being under attack from four of them?

Although she didn’t kill them, being able to severely injure opponents of the same realm in an instant was already powerful enough.

This was even in a one-vs-four situation; what about one-on-one?

Wouldn’t that be a sure win?

Lin Chen looked up at the sky and smiled.

You wanted to lure me into the game, but instead gave me a top-level magical treasure. I’ll gladly accept it.

In the sky, Qiu Shisan was being hunted by the masked man, bleeding from the mouth and pale as a ghost; she seemed barely able to hold on.

Lin Chen called out, "Qiu Shisan, if you want to save your life, come down here."

His voice reached the sky, and both Qiu Shisan and the masked man chasing her were surprised. Hadn’t this guy been killed yet?

One Nascent Soul and four Golden Cores were after him, and he was perfectly fine?

How was that possible?

Qiu Shisan was already running on empty; upon hearing this, she immediately plunged down.

However, the masked man in the sky did not hastily follow her down. Instead, he spoke loudly, "Team Leader?"

No one below answered because they were dead.

The masked man’s eyes changed dramatically, and he decisively turned and fled, disappearing into the distance.

The team leader had the strongest strength and was accompanied by four Golden Core experts, but once they entered the woods, all was silent within a short period. This could only mean one thing:

They were all dead.

If he went down there now, wouldn’t he also be walking a path to his own death?

What was he still waiting for? Shouldn’t he run for his life now?

Qiu Shisan plunged from the sky and into the woods, spotting Lin Chen standing in the clearing—on his left was the towering Snow Dragon Leopard King, looking like a giant elephant, and on his right was a Bi Fang, standing on one leg and breathing out bursts of fire.

Qiu Shisan’s eyes widened, astonished.

This guy actually had two Nascent Soul-level demonic beasts.

No!

There was one more...

Qiu Shisan stared in shock as the enormous vine behind Lin Chen suddenly split open, and a small, emerald green Vajra Vine Seedling flew out, burrowing into Lin Chen’s cape.

A Vine Monster!

He had not just two demonic beasts, but three!

In such a short period, he had killed all five people who were chasing him!

Qiu Shisan regained her composure, landed on the ground, walked up to Lin Chen, and reached out: "Give me back the Soul Devouring Bow."

Lin Chen’s expression was cold: "The Soul Devouring Bow was given to me by you voluntarily, wasn’t it? Since you gave it to me, why are you asking for it back now?"

Qiu Shisan’s face changed abruptly: "Are you planning to rob me of the Soul Devouring Bow?"

Lin Chen sneered, "If it wasn’t for me having some tricks up my sleeve, I would have been killed by you today. Not only that, but I even saved your life. The Soul Devouring Bow is my reward; no need to thank me."

Qiu Shisan gritted her teeth, "You’re taking advantage of my misfortune!"

Lin Chen’s eyes turned cold: "If I really wanted to take advantage of the situation, I would just kill you right now. In your current condition, do you think you could escape if I wanted to kill you?"

Qiu Shisan fell silent.

What Lin Chen said was true, if he really wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill her, he could easily do so now without wasting any words on her.

After a moment of silence, Qiu Shisan finally spoke, "Okay, let’s say the Soul Devouring Bow is yours, but can I borrow it for a while?"

Lin Chen flatly refused: "If I lend it to you and you run off with it, where will I find you?"

Qiu Shisan angrily said, "If I say I’ll borrow it, then I’ll borrow it. I won’t cheat you. If you’re afraid I’ll run away, you can come with me!"

Lin Chen sneered, "If I go with you, what’s to stop you from shooting me after you’ve recovered from your injuries? You’re a Nascent Soul, and I’m just a Golden Core. Would I even have a chance?"

Qiu Shisan had no choice but to point at Lin Chen angrily, "You are the bane of my existence. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this mess today!"

Lin Chen frowned, "Are you trying to deny the truth and make a scene now? They came to kill you, and everyone on the ship is suffering because of you. I was almost killed by you too. So are you the bringer of bad luck, or am I?"

Qiu Shisan, looking distraught, yelled, "I came to Raging Lion City originally just to get a Beast Taming Bag, but you snatched it away with a high price. In order to find a way to get the Beast Taming Bag from you, I was delayed in Raging Lion City for so long, followed you onto this ship, and eventually led to me being targeted..."

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at Qiu Shisan with a shocked expression, "Were you the woman who was bidding against me in the Black Market?"
