Chapter 1255 - 1252: The Third Person
Lin Chuan was startled when he heard the blue-haired man utter those words. He knew the next attack would surely come from behind him. This superpowered individual who could freely manipulate the surrounding gases was definitely a troublesome opponent. His ability to attack from any angle was simply a nightmare for any close combatant.
Without time to think, Lin Chuan felt dozens of auras swiftly approaching his back. He thought this was it, he was likely going to be finished here.
Just as Lin Chuan closed his eyes waiting for the impending attack, he suddenly felt all those Sword Qi behind him vanish. Looking back, it turned out to be Mu Qiu, who had erected a protective barrier around himself, causing all the Sword Qi to disappear upon contact.
This was the move that saved Lin Chuan just now. Lin Chuan thought that Mu Qiu's protective barrier was different from the shield formed by his own True Qi. This meant that Mu Qiu was not only a superpowered individual who could see through opponents' weaknesses but also someone with defensive capabilities.
Mu Qiu whispered to Lin Chuan at this moment, "I can't maintain the protective barrier for much longer. His attacks are too intense; I'm barely holding on. I've already detected his weakness. Since he's a superpowered individual who can control the surrounding gases, battling him from a distance gives us no hope. We must get close to his body to have a chance of defeating him."
Lin Chuan was reminded by these words. Yes, engaging in a remote battle with someone who controls gases was just seeking death. He had to find a way to get close to his body.
But how could he get close to his body? Lin Chuan suddenly had an idea and said to Mu Qiu, "Hold on a bit longer, I've thought of a way to attack him."
With that, Lin Chuan picked up Blue Amber. Looking at the red Blue Amber wrapped in True Qi, Lin Chuan murmured, "Old friend, the outcome depends on you now.
You've saved me so many times before, and this time I'll have to trouble you again." As if sensing its master's expectation, Blue Amber vibrated slightly, glowing even more intensely with a red light. Lin Chuan shouted 'Break!' and shot Blue Amber out in a spiral.
Blue Amber rushed forward with a trail of red light, with Lin Chuan closely following behind.
The blue-haired man's Sword Qi shattered upon contact with the rapidly spinning Blue Amber. The blue-haired man only saw a red light shooting straight towards him, and in a panic, he quickly withdrew his hands and jumped to the side to evade the attack of the red light.
But just as the blue-haired man leaped out of the attack's range and was about to steady himself for a second strike.
Lin Chuan took advantage of the opportunity, grabbing the spinning Blue Amber with his right hand and lunging towards the blue-haired man. The glowing red Blue Amber aimed for the blue-haired man's heart, but with a quick sidestep, he avoided the lethal strike.
Yet, Lin Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile, thinking he was finished. The blue-haired man seemed to realize that the previous attack was just a setup and that Lin Chuan's true goal wasn't that. But before he could finish thinking, Lin Chuan had already kicked him in the stomach.
The kick was powerful enough to send the blue-haired man flying a great distance. Lin Chuan wasn't about to let this perfect opportunity slip, as Blue Amber soared out of his hand for one final strike.
However, the blue-haired man rolled repeatedly, narrowly avoiding Blue Amber's attack, and Lin Chuan followed swiftly. The blue-haired man clumsily stood up, barely steadying himself before Lin Chuan charged at him again, delivering a punch to his face, causing him to mutter in frustration.
He was a superpowered individual who could manipulate gases at will, not someone with close combat strength. Lin Chuan's punch landed squarely on the blue-haired man's face, leaving a red mark on his once handsome face.
The blue-haired man had never suffered such humiliation before. Raising his left hand, he aimed a strike at Lin Chuan. Thus, the two engaged in a brawl, exchanging punch after punch.
Unfortunately, the blue-haired man was not accustomed to close combat, and after only a few bouts, he was at a disadvantage, repeatedly attempting to distance himself to resume his usual form of attack.
But having gained the upper hand, Lin Chuan wasn't going to let him escape the attack range. As they tangled and attacked, the blue-haired man was knocked down several times, spitting blood. Feeling desperate from being attacked so many times, the blue-haired man was on the verge of breaking down. Given his innate strength and advantage, Lin Chuan wasn't even worthy of his regard—let alone two of Lin Chuan—but who would have thought Lin Chuan would close in and initiate a close-range attack.
Just as the blue-haired man's disadvantage became increasingly apparent, he suddenly shouted, "Stop, don't you want to know that person's whereabouts?"
This one statement stopped Lin Chuan's fist, which was just about to reach the blue-haired man's head. He halted his attack and said, "Tell me, what have you done?"
The blue-haired man, seemingly having found a chance for a comeback, struggled to his feet in a wretched state. Once stabilized, he said, "Damn it, to be beaten like this by someone like you. I guarantee I'll kill you,"
Lin Chuan ignored his words, persisting, "Tell me quickly, what happened to that person?"
The blue-haired man smirked lightly, though the expression was painful on his bruised face. After a moment, he said, "You really are incredibly foolish. You didn't seize such a good opportunity just now, and now you've given me a chance to turn the tables. But I'm not the despicable type. Fine, I'll tell you what you want to know."
Lin Chuan and Mu Qiu remained silent, waiting for the blue-haired man to continue.
After thinking for a while, the blue-haired man said, "Actually, I don't know why you know about this, but since you do, I'll tell you about the five people."
He paused before continuing, "You must know about the mind connection between these five people, right? A few days ago, I had already become aware of your existence because I experienced the same mental connection."
These words startled Lin Chuan and Mu Qiu at the same time. Lin Chuan responded, "What did you say? So you're the third person?"
