Chapter 1246 - 1243: Nectar of the Flower Demon
No one wants to die, and at this moment they are at their strongest. Faced with the threat of Lin Chuan, people who were previously hostile towards each other are now banding together. This doesn't mean that the demons lack the ability to think; superpowered individuals are still human, and they might even possess brains more developed than ordinary people. When they truly start thinking, it's really terrifying.
"Teams of three, teams of three, advance slowly." This was their consensus, and also the best solution. Three people can better look out for each other, whereas too many people can lead to chaos, resulting in a bad outcome.
Lin Chuan ignored these people. When faced with true strength, everything else is useless. Lin Chuan was somewhat arrogant, since his strength was not yet the greatest. If Lin Chuan reached the level of that person from before, this way of thinking wouldn't matter, because then all these Dark Dragon members would just be walking into their deaths, and Lin Chuan could easily kill them in an instant. But right now, Lin Chuan hadn't reached that level and had to be extremely focused every move, allowing no room for error. Although mistakes wouldn't be fatal, they would definitely result in additional scars.
Handling the first wave was quite easy for Lin Chuan, as it appeared to be the weakest one, and the blood didn't taste as delightful. It could only enhance some True Qi; as for advancing his state, it had no effect.
Lin Chuan continued to fight, yet he was increasingly feeling overwhelmed, each wave taking longer to handle. Calculating this way, though Lin Chuan wouldn't run out of True Qi, he couldn't face them as calmly. It was like when Lin Chuan brought down that strong adversary before, step by step, they were clearly thinking the same thing.
Lin Chuan was delighted because this situation could ignite more fighting spirit and make the battle more thrilling for him.
"Come again, is this all you've got?" Lin Chuan shouted aloud. By now, he had killed six or seven waves, nearly twenty people, yet he already sensed that something wasn't right.
Even though he didn't feel tired at all, his body was nearing its limit. Once it surpasses that limit, he would surely be doomed. The most pressing issue now was that his red True Qi left him without any sensation of his body, unable to determine its limits. If Lin Chuan hadn't noticed his fingers trembling slightly, he wouldn't have realized he was in such a perilous situation.
That's how it is; once you notice it, it's terrifying, but if you never notice, perhaps you can survive a little longer. Lin Chuan's heart started to worry, unlike before when he charged forward with no regard. Now there was a sense of concern, and a gap had formed in Lin Chuan's heart.
The battle wouldn't stop just because Lin Chuan didn't want to fight anymore. His vacant gaze was the perfect opportunity for those people, and Lin Chuan wouldn't believe they would let it slip away. Indeed, it wasn't just three people attacking him this time, but ten at once. Lin Chuan's resistance grew weaker, and even with the replenishment of blood, he still felt a bit weak. More accurately, he was very weak. His internal organs couldn't withstand working so hard for so long, especially not under such stress. The fact that problems only arose now was thanks to Lin Chuan's inherently strong body.
Lin Chuan glared fiercely at those people; there was no shortage of those who had died by his hands. The red on his body was growing more vivid, but it still wasn't enough. Lin Chuan knew he could go further. Once he broke through, no matter how unsuitable his body was, it would recover instantly. The thing Lin Chuan needed most now was blood. Resolute in his thinking, Lin Chuan began to unleash his full power. The most basic superpower attack was indeed limited. No matter how many there were, they could only cause minimal trouble for Lin Chuan.
Since his mind couldn't control the True Qi, he decided to control his body, ensuring every action was without error, achieving his goal.
"Stand down!" A loud shout startled everyone. The voice was filled with an overwhelming pressure, and just the sound waves stirred up a gust of wind that swept up the dust on the ground.
Lin Chuan had never seen this person before. The person's appearance was quite ordinary, but their eyes were anything but. Lin Chuan thoroughly observed and realized it was only the person's gaze that made him feel a sense of danger.
Lin Chuan's expression turned serious. Now was not the time to be reckless. Without realizing it, he had already mentally separated this person from the others.
"You're Lin Chuan?"
That person actually spoke to him. Lin Chuan licked the blood on his lips and responded, "Yes! And you are?"
That person said nothing, just furrowed his brows and locked eyes with Lin Chuan, like a python stalking its prey. Lin Chuan didn't feel scared, just creeped out, because after a few glances, he found it extremely irritating for a man to look at him with such strange eyes, as if he were some stunning beauty. But Lin Chuan was an undeniably handsome guy!
"You shouldn't have come here, or rather, you shouldn't have come so soon!" What the person said made no sense to Lin Chuan. Like those who fought him before, it seemed to be another attempt to dissuade or blame him, filled with incomprehensible words that Lin Chuan found very annoying.
"You killed all my brothers. Do you expect me to just sit back and do nothing? And you came out yourself just after I killed these people?" Lin Chuan glared coldly at them.
"It's not the same. Do you really think I care about the lives of these worthless ones? They're just my test subjects, like your teammates. If one or two die, to be honest, I don't really care." The person spoke so lightly that Lin Chuan couldn't help but scorn them internally, as they didn't even care for their own subordinates. That was insane to the point of being heartless. These people risked their lives here for something, only to be met with this outcome.
The person's words not only dissatisfied Lin Chuan but also sparked discontent among the others. Working so hard without any acknowledgment would upset anyone.
"Is this really how you view us? Then there's no point to our training. I'm not working for you anymore!" one person shouted. Yet the final outcome frightened everyone. Out of nowhere, a hidden weapon appeared in that person's hand, seemingly talking to themselves, or perhaps to the others. "Number 174, it's over!"
As soon as the words fell, that person met a gruesome fate, exploding from within. Without warning, they suddenly burst amidst the crowd, sending nearby people flying several dozen meters!
With indifference, the person looked at Lin Chuan and said, "This is our educational method!"
Lin Chuan's heart felt as if it was being turned upside down. He never imagined that people in this world could be so brutal, practically inhuman! Like beasts, at least he had some mercy when killing. Now Lin Chuan was utterly convinced by their extreme dominance. Thankfully, some of his brothers had escaped. If they lived there, Lin Chuan had no idea how they'd survive. Everything would be his responsibility. He brought them into Dark Dragon but didn't get them out.
Lin Chuan could no longer tolerate the brutality of this person before him. The only solution was for Lin Chuan to engage in a satisfying slaughter. His hatred for the person in front of him was unparalleled. This alone meant the person had to die.
As Lin Chuan wielded the Blue Amber and prepared for battle, he suddenly realized that his Blue Amber was out of control, showing a strong urge to attack him.
Lin Chuan was astonished. This had never happened before. Was it because he had been fighting too long, the red True Qi having a backlash? No! Lin Chuan noticed the purple light in the person's eyes and knew it wasn't his own doing but the result of that person. Superpowers were unpredictable, but Lin Chuan never expected that person could control his body. Soon he realized that it wasn't his body being controlled, but his weapon, the Blue Amber.
Lin Chuan wouldn't let anyone take his weapon, but he couldn't find a good way to counter this move.
Lin Chuan knew that whether it was superpowers or True Qi, they required practice to control the object. So Lin Chuan tried to control the True Qi, enveloping the Blue Amber with it, layer upon layer, leaving no space for anything else.
