Chapter 281 - 25: Death of the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster, Escape Across a Thousand Miles!
Hearing these words, Lin Chen fell silent.
After a moment, he laughed, showing a row of white teeth.
Lin Chen pointed to the group of martial monks and said:
"Well, did you misunderstand something..."
"Why should I be threatened by you?"
Beside him, Li Tianhan widened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen didn’t turn his head to look at him, he simply stared coldly at the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster.
The Ghost-Eyed Old Monster let out a sinister laugh, extended his hand to activate his True Essence, and crushed the head of a Foundation Establishment Stage martial monk.
"Junior Brother Wu!"
Li Tianhan felt a buzzing in his head, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Lin Chen, however, remained unperturbed and said:
"Go ahead, kill them all... and you should be ready to die too!"
With those words, Lin Chen took a few steps forward.
The Ghost-Eyed Old Monster was startled and quickly reached out to crush the head of another Demon-Suppressing Temple martial monk.
"Junior Brother Wang..."
Li Tianhan’s body was trembling, Lin Chen had never seen him so lost.
Three years ago, he brought one hundred and seven martial monks from the Demon-Suppressing Temple, to join him in slaying demons and defending against evil within the Righteous Alliance’s territory.
During those three years, they killed countless demon cultivators, at least tens of thousands...
And less than half of the martial monks died in battle.
But in today’s battle, Li Tianhan fell into an ambush by Ghost-eyed Child and a large number of demon cultivators.
In one fight, dozens were killed, more than in the past three years combined.
Even Li Tianhan himself, after fighting Ghost-eyed Child for a long time, was on the losing side.
Now, the remaining dozen or so junior brothers were being killed one by one right in front of him.
"Donor Xu..."
Li Tianhan took a deep breath and said quietly, "Before coming out, I told the abbot... I would bring them back..."
Lin Chen looked at him as if he were a fool.
"That’s what you promised, not me."
Li Tianhan, hearing this, was at a loss for words.
The Ghost-Eyed Old Monster, upon seeing this, panicked. He wanted to use these martial monks as leverage to bargain for a chance to escape.
But Lin Chen seemed completely indifferent to this tactic...
Lin Chen took a few more steps forward, and the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster crushed the head of another Foundation Establishment martial monk.
"I said, don’t come any closer!"
Lin Chen laughed, repeating the same words.
"Ghost Eye, I told you I’m not related to them."
"Even if you kill them all..."
As he said this, Lin Chen suddenly moved.
His entire body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
In that instant, Lin Chen used all his strength.
Black Blade in hand!
Bullet Time!
Candle Dragon’s power!
Profound Ink Armor!
Tenfold Vibrating Blade!
Blade Intent!
This was Lin Chen’s peak strike, the same one he used to slay the Red-faced Nether Ghost.
Using it against the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster was truly overkill.
But Lin Chen had no choice but to do so.
Heaven knew what life-saving measures this centuries-old monster might have.
Lin Chen had to ensure that he would kill Ghost-eyed Child on his first strike.
When this strike was unleashed, everything around Lin Chen slowed down in his sight.
The astonishment, fear on Ghost-eyed Child’s face...
His hand movements seemed to slow as he took out a piece of black jade.
Under the crush of True Essence, Lin Chen could even clearly see the black powder puffing up in the air as the jade was crushed.
Then, a plume of black mist erupted, slowly enveloping Ghost-eyed Child.
In reality, all of this happened in an instant.
If not for Lin Chen possessing Bullet Time, he wouldn’t have seen through the black mist.
"This black mist is probably some kind of life-saving treasure... but it also has weaknesses!"
Lin Chen squinted his eyes because the spreading speed of the black mist slowed down by hundreds of times in his eyes.
Lin Chen was able to easily identify which angle the mist hadn’t spread.
He just needed to kill Ghost-eyed Child before the black mist fully enveloped him!
So the blade fell on Ghost-eyed Child.
This strike almost met no resistance, directly splitting open Ghost-eyed Child’s Protective True Essence.
Subsequently, the saber momentum did not decrease, cutting through the black mist and directly striking Ghost-eyed Child.
The treasure robe on Ghost-eyed Child also emitted a protective glow instantly.
But it was destroyed by Lin Chen as if it were rotten wood, the glow quickly dimming.
The saber momentum weakened by about thirty percent, finally touching Ghost-eyed Child’s neck.
The blade sliced across Ghost-eyed Child’s neck, the skin tearing like paper.
Even a Core Formation Late Period body cultivator would be sliced in two by this strike from Lin Chen.
Let alone, a ghost cultivator with a fragile body?
Under the immense slicing force, the head was sent flying.
Lin Chen seemed to see the expression in Ghost-eyed Child’s eyes.
Astonishment, fear, disbelief...
"What... is this power... completely unavoidable..."
This was Ghost-eyed Child’s last thought before death.
At the moment he was locked by Blade Intent, he felt as if he were opposing the heavens and the earth.
No retreat, no escape.
Bullet Time closed at that moment.
The black mist gradually covered the already lifeless Ghost-eyed Child.
Lin Chen had not the slightest hesitation, wielding the Demon-slaying Blade to attack the remaining dozen or so demon cultivators around.
Like slicing through melons and vegetables, Lin Chen slew these dozen or so demon cultivators completely.
"Phew..."
"This strike was to avenge the million souls of Jade Belt City!"
Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, looking at the gradually lifeless Ghost-eyed Child.
At the same time, Li Tianhan’s voice came from behind him.
"Brother Xu! Above!"
Lin Chen looked intently, seeing a ball of black light soaring into the sky, seemingly trying to escape.
It’s Ghost-eyed Child’s Divine Soul!
The Seven-Turn Ghost Pill, with his Divine Soul so strong... Ghost-eyed Child has already cultivated a Primordial Spirit, typically possessed by Nascent Soul cultivators!
"Oh, still trying to run?"
Lin Chen let out a cold chuckle.
Then, the Protective True Essence rushed towards the Divine Soul.
