Chapter 1231 - 1228: Hard to Escape
Just like before, the three female disciples never expected Lin Chuan to suddenly attack them, and they were terrified. Two of them were killed by Lin Chuan directly, and the last one screamed, turned to run, but was struck dead by Lin Chuan from behind after just two steps.
The scream of the female disciple drew the attention of those inside the house. Before Lin Chuan could absorb the Yin Energy from the three female disciples into the Illusion Yin Flower, a fat old man rushed out.
The fat old man was the master of the young fatty, named Wei Zhuang. Upon seeing Lin Chuan kill the three female disciples, he shouted, "You bastard, you actually killed them."
Lin Chuan remained silent, secretly raising the Inner Qi produced by the Sealing Heart Skill from the Heavenly Heart Skill to its maximum. Without another word, he lifted his palms and swept them horizontally towards the fat old man, Wei Zhuang.
The fat old man Wei Zhuang roared in anger, meeting Lin Chuan's charge with two palms as well.
The skill level of the fat old man Wei Zhuang was many times higher than that of the young fatty. The energy released from between his palms came with a sound of breaking air and met the energy from Lin Chuan's palms with a boom, causing a backlash.
Lin Chuan was forced back two steps by the backlash energy. He dodged to the left, swung his right palm, and launched a full-force counterattack at the fat old man Wei Zhuang.
The fat old man Wei Zhuang was genuinely surprised that Lin Chuan's skill level was almost equal to his own. This kid was really playing the fool.
Previously, several elders had competed to take Lin Chuan as their disciple. Wei Zhuang even personally checked Lin Chuan's bones and found them exquisite, showing more talent than his disciple, the young fatty, yet he didn't realize Lin Chuan's skill was so high.
After exchanging two palms with Lin Chuan, the fat old man Wei Zhuang gained no advantage. Instead, he was also forced back three steps by the energy between Lin Chuan's palms. While recovering, he saw Lin Chuan follow up with another palm strike.
This time, the fat old man Wei Zhuang dared not be careless and met it with his full skill from both palms.
At this moment, several elders rushed out from the house, all shocked to see the fat old man fighting Lin Chuan.
"Old Wei, what's going on?" shouted the Third Elder in a loud voice.
The fat old man Wei Zhuang had exchanged several moves with Lin Chuan without gaining any advantage. Upon hearing the Third Elder's question, he cursed angrily, "Damn it, are you blind? This kid came to challenge us."
The elders were all taken aback and then promptly joined the fray.
Lin Chuan knew the situation was extremely unfavorable to him as soon as the elders came out. He initially wanted to shake off the fat old man Wei Zhuang and escape, but he remembered his promise to Black Hero and gritted his teeth to persist.
Dealing with just the fat old man Wei Zhuang was already enough, let alone several more experts joining in. Lin Chuan had to be extraordinarily vigilant, avoiding direct confrontation and using his speed advantage to retaliate when the opportunity arose.
Even so, it was hard for Lin Chuan to escape under the combined assault. He was constantly hit by their fists and palm winds, but thanks to his speed advantage, he hadn't died yet.
While the elders besieged Lin Chuan, they were surprised that this kid could hold on. The Sect Master, Feng Yuan, who hadn't joined the fray yet, shouted loudly, "I must ask, have the elders not eaten? Can't even take down a kid."
His words were clearly mocking the elders, who felt ashamed and increased their efforts against Lin Chuan.
No matter how capable Lin Chuan was, he couldn't hold out this time. The pressure around him increased, and he'd been punched and palmed multiple times, causing his blood to churn.
Damn, where are those damn battle heroes? If they don't come soon, my life will be left here, Lin Chuan cursed inwardly as he dodged awkwardly.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. As soon as Lin Chuan cursed, a dozen dark shadows soared through the air, led by Black Hero.
"Brats of Maoshan Tao, today we wipe out the disgrace." Black Hero and the twelve battle heroes descended from the sky, shouting loudly.
Feng Yuan looked up at Black Hero and the others; his expression changed greatly. He drew a chilling sword with a sneer: "It's just you old fools dreaming."
Lin Chuan got a morale boost hearing Black Hero and the others arrive, and his counterattacks accelerated significantly.
The elders besieging Lin Chuan now wore expressions mirroring the Sect Master Feng Yuan's. They all looked up at the descending battle heroes, and three could no longer mind Lin Chuan as they moved to confront the battle heroes.
In the Maoshan Tao branch of the Hell World, there weren't many people to begin with. Lin Chuan had already dealt with several disciples, leaving only seven elders and the Sect Master Feng Yuan.
The Thirteen Battle Heroes had been trapped for many years, their pent-up anger boiling over as they engaged in two-on-one melee with the elders and the Sect Master.
The battle heroes replaced Lin Chuan's opponents, leaving him without anyone to fight.
Although Lin Chuan had no opponent, he didn't idle. He moved to the three dead female disciples and placed his right palm on their backs, absorbing the Yin Energy into the Illusion Yin Flower.
The Illusion Yin Flower absorbed the Yin Energy from five disciples yet showed no reaction.
Among the seven elders, the Seventh Elder had the weakest skill. In a few moments, he was spitting blood under the assault of two battle heroes. Lin Chuan leaped over, sending the two battle heroes attacking the Seventh Elder to help Black Hero against Feng Yuan, and took on the Seventh Elder himself.
The Seventh Elder's cultivation was slightly below that of Lin Chuan, and now being injured, Lin Chuan easily resolved the situation by using eighty percent of his force.
After dealing with the Seventh Elder, Lin Chuan placed his right palm on his back, allowing all the Yin Energy to be absorbed into the Illusion Yin Flower.
The Seventh Elder's cultivation was indeed several times stronger than those disciples, and after the Illusion Yin Flower absorbed his Yin Energy, it noticeably started to stir.
The chaotic battle lasted less than forty minutes, with four of the seven elders already dead, and the remaining three struggling to hold on, clearly unable to last much longer.
On the side of the Thirteen Battle Heroes, not a single one was injured, and they were fighting with increasing bravery.
Feng Yuan, being the Sect Master, had cultivation strength more than double that of these elders. The cold light in his hand turned into sword shadows everywhere, and the Black Hero and four Battle Heroes attacking him could not take him down.
Ah...
Another miserable scream echoed, as the Third Elder was knocked to the ground by three Battle Heroes. While fighting, Feng Yuan knew in his heart that today his group was doomed.
As long as the green hills last, there's no fear of wood running out.
Feng Yuan grew less and less spirited in battle, and suddenly the cold light in his hand shone brightly, opening a path as he soared into the air, fleeing toward the darkness like a fly.
The Black Hero angrily shouted, chasing after with several Battle Heroes like arrows.
The two remaining elders, upon seeing the Sect Master flee, lost their will to fight and were directly killed by the attacking Battle Heroes.
Lin Chuan continuously moved through the scene, and the Yin Energy and Yin Spirit Energy within the seven elders were all absorbed into the Illusion Yin Flower.
As the Illusion Yin Flower absorbed the Yin Energy and Yin Spirit Energy of the seven elders, it began to stir even more, seemingly about to break through Lin Chuan's palm.
After the remaining Battle Heroes eliminated the two elders, they rose and followed the Black Hero in pursuit of Feng Yuan's direction. In the vast courtyard, Lin Chuan was the only one left.
Feeling the movement of the Illusion Yin Flower in the palm of his right hand, Lin Chuan opened his palm to see a faint white color vaguely forming into a flower shape in his palm.
At this moment, the Yin Yang Jade hanging on his chest also reacted, emitting two streams of energy, one from the Yin Jade producing Yin energy, and one from the Yang Jade producing Yang energy, which directly entered his body through the skin of his chest.
The inner energy produced by the Heavenly Heart Skill within his body also reacted, starting to surge within his Dantian.
Lin Chuan quickly sat cross-legged, guiding the surging energy in his Dantian to run along the meridians. When it reached his chest, it began to merge with the two streams of energy produced by the Yin Yang Jade.
The three different streams of energy circulated several times within his body, gradually merging into one. At this moment, the Illusion Yin Flower in Lin Chuan's palm also began to transmit an extremely cold stream of energy into his body.
This extremely cold stream of energy entered his body, colliding with the three streams of energy that had already merged, and began to separate again.
As the two streams of energy collided inside his body, it felt as if an explosion had occurred, causing his meridians to tremble slightly from the explosion.
Damn, what's happening, Lin Chuan felt waves of discomfort through his body, as if ten thousand ants were crawling inside, constantly gnawing at his meridians.
The two different streams of energy did not stop; instead, they rushed even faster within his body, continuously crashing into one another.
Lin Chuan felt an intense discomfort, each collision akin to experiencing life and death.
He wanted to control these two streams of energy, but they refused to obey. The collisions grew increasingly frequent, each collision producing a new energy.
This new energy was neither a stream of energy nor inner Qi but a kind of indescribable force. These new energies, instead of flowing to the Dantian via the meridians, went directly to the Bai Hui Acupoint at the top of his head.
The Bai Hui Acupoint began to accommodate this new energy, gathering more and more. Though Lin's body was in immense pain with this energy at the Bai Hui Acupoint, his mind was extraordinarily clear.
The collisions did not stop, and the Extreme Yin Energy from the Illusion Yin Flower constantly entered his body, colliding with the inner energy produced by the Yin Yang Jade and Heavenly Heart Skill, generating more and more new energy, all of which reached the Bai Hui Acupoint.
As the new energy increased within the Bai Hui Acupoint, this state of clarity became increasingly distinct.
Within the realm of hell, where Lin Chuan already was in the Blood Tower, the scenes inside the Blood Tower vividly appeared in his mind.
Various flying Yin Spirits, strange Yin Spirits, and even the shadows of the Thirteen Battle Heroes appeared in his mind.
