Chapter 1295 - 1290: Danger
In an instant, lightning appeared in front of the Sky-reaching Halberd. Just as the lightning streaked by, that massive rock was actually lifted by this beam of light.
Originally, Lin Chuan was just a bit curious. He never thought the Sky-reaching Halberd had such formidable power. But even if it lifted the rock, he didn't feel it was too heavy.
Excited, Lin Chuan suddenly shook his arm.
The giant rock, as big as three houses, was flung out with Lin Chuan's movement.
Just as the rocks below had barely stabilized, the massive rock fell down again.
The sound that shook the heavens and earth resounded once more.
With the appearance of the sound, the surrounding rocks began to quiver. Soon a new round of rocks began to roll down. Even the stones at the mountain top started to tumble along with the shaking.
Having never seen such a grand scene, Lin Chuan was truly amazed at this moment.
In order to witness the most spectacular view, he deliberately urged his steed, Qianli Ju, to rush forward into the chaos.
Seismic activity always existed among these rocks. But it had never been this severe before.
At this moment, even rabbits hiding in the grass were hit by the falling rocks as they fled frantically. Eventually, a patch of unrecognizable remains was all that was left.
Even birds resting on trees flapped their wings frantically to escape, getting a chance to survive.
Watching the boulders tumble below, Lin Chuan was inexplicably excited. It seemed to be the happiest moment of his life.
Suddenly, the Sky-reaching Halberd in Lin Chuan's hand moved again. In the gap between the massive rock's roll, Lin Chuan's lightning suddenly halted it.
In a moment of tension, the rock became a toy in Lin Chuan's hand again.
With a simple glance around, Lin Chuan lifted the already shattered rock and aimed it at a nearby hill.
But the moment the rock was flung out, Lin Chuan regretted it.
If such a large rock were to hit an innocent person, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although there was no one seen nearby, who could say there was no one in the distance.
Nervously, Lin Chuan sped off on Qianli Ju.
After the massive impact, countless rocks began to roll again. The rolling rocks below ignited the turmoil in Lin Chuan's heart, as if there were truly people moving down there.
A series of searches amidst the countless rolling rocks left Lin Chuan noticeably more tense than before. The thing he dreaded most was if the scene he imagined played out. Regretful words were meaningless at this point.
Finally, after a brief flurry of movement, the countless rocks gradually stopped, and Lin Chuan's worries were temporarily eased.
Seated on Qianli Ju, Lin Chuan looked around repeatedly and saw no trace of anyone being crushed under the rocks. It was only then that his inner conflict began to ease.
The unrest within him once again cost Lin Chuan some of his rationality. But at this moment, he already knew how to restrain his impulses appropriately.
Qianli Ju's speed was now at its peak. Sitting atop, Lin Chuan could clearly feel the wind making it hard to keep his eyes open.
At that moment, Lin Chuan raised the Sky-reaching Halberd in his hand high towards the sky above.
Compared to the impact the lightning initially brought, things were evidently much better now.
After a series of frenzied actions, Lin Chuan finally felt completely satisfied and slowly put away the Divine Artifact in his hand.
Qianli Ju circled in the air a few times and landed on the original mountain top. Given the circumstances, even with more people around, it was unlikely they'd have countermeasures. This was Lin Chuan's greatest advantage over others. The crucial part was that Lin Chuan now held his mighty Ice Blade; it would be tough for anyone to resist.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyun had just returned to her room with a few people. She was still immersed in the thrill of her escapade with that man.
As for Lin Chuan, Lin Xiaoyun no longer had any trace of him in her mind; originally, Lin Chuan was just a toy she desired.
The sky around gradually turned dim.
Qianli Ju circled in the air for some time but found no valuable location.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan thrust his Sky-reaching Halberd fiercely towards a building below.
Dazzling golden light illuminated the surrounding rocks. As the light flickered, the building below experienced a series of pressing pierces. Finally, the dawn light pierced straight through the building's roof, landing directly on the floor inside.
Seen from above, it wasn't very clear, but that building was actually a solitary tower standing tall.
Usually, it was used to view the surrounding scenery. Although uninhabited, the structure was a symbol of the entire mountain.
The flashing light around filled everyone with a sense of danger. Especially when the light passed by, the structure high above visibly took damage. Many who saw the scene were so frightened they didn't dare leave their original positions. Even those outside looked on cautiously when they saw the scene, constantly glancing warily at the source of the light.
But the light was too glaring, and once people could see the light clearly, even those on higher ground couldn't see it well. The only certainty was that there appeared to be a god-like figure up high, especially as he wielded a mystic artifact, continuously wrecking havoc on the building below.
In the past, Lin Chuan often maintained a low profile. After all, whether it was Qianli Ju or the Sky-reaching Halberd, they posed a threat to many things around. Even if there wasn't direct damage, the wind caused by Qianli Ju was intolerable to many.
The tall building, under Lin Chuan's efforts, shook repeatedly, finally collapsing to the ground, with some pieces even rolling down into the valley.
This building was actually called Wangchuan Building, and it had stood here for many years. Despite this, the building hadn't changed much. Often it was maintained by people. Comparatively, it was the most prestigious building here. Even the residences of the locals weren't managed as carefully as this structure. After all, it was a renowned local legend.
Many people, even if they didn't know who the local leader was, knew about this magnificent building.
Standing on Wangchuan Building, you could see far, experiencing the concept of overlooking all the other mountains far beneath you.
"Quickly, come! Our Wangchuan Building is in danger! Hurry up…" Lin Xiaoyun, in the midst of her escapade with that man, suddenly heard someone shouting, quickly dressed, and ran out.
Just as Lin Chuan put away his Sky-reaching Halberd, someone below started shouting loudly. But the person seemed to understand there were people watching from above, and hid under the building, as if feeling safe where they were.
In the eyes of many, Qianli Ju was simply legendary. Although old people often spoke of it, not many had actually seen it.
As someone mentioned the name Qianli Ju, many were instantly shocked, eyes showing pure fear. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyun, with keen eyesight, recognized Lin Chuan.
Seeing Lin Chuan, Lin Xiaoyun couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, exclaiming, "He's Lin Chuan, the guy on the run."
"Ah, so this kid is the one we've been searching for all these days! No wonder he wasn't hurt at all after falling from such a high mountain. He must be here for revenge. Quick, notify the young master about this. Hurry…"
During the chatter among several individuals, a relatively well-dressed person suddenly spoke. Then he immediately rushed towards Yun Zhendong's house.
Sitting on Qianli Ju, Lin Chuan continuously observed the crowd below. Amidst a series of searches, he suddenly spotted Lin Xiaoyun.
That woman was too hateful; he almost fell victim to her. Now that he encountered her, he couldn't let her escape.
Truthfully, compared to Lin Chuan, any random move could wipe out a patch of them. The surrounding buildings posed a threat to them.
In many cases, the buildings around people inflicted considerable harm, whether from volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. Slightly larger tremors could endanger structures of lower quality. Many are unaware of such potential dangers.
But in Lin Chuan's view, some of these things could still be avoided. For instance, sitting on Qianli Ju now, he faced no such danger. Even a slight flick of the Sky-reaching Halberd could determine the fate of many lives. However, few had such power. Even Lin Chuan realized he wouldn't have such strength without Qianli Ju by his side.
At this point, Lin Xiaoyun had long recognized the danger outside. But she now appeared much more cautious. Any changes outside needed to be handled carefully. After all, Lin Chuan now regarded her as an enemy, especially since he was still alive.
