Chapter 1296 - 1291: Fierce Battle
Seeing Lin Chuan, Lin Xiaoyun's face showed a look of surprise, and she exclaimed, "He is Lin Chuan, the guy who ran away."
"Ah, this kid is the guy we've been looking for for days. Didn't expect him to have such formidable strength. No wonder he didn't get hurt after falling from such a high mountain. No, he's here for revenge, isn't he? Quickly inform the young master about this. Hurry..."
During the time these people were gathered together talking, one relatively neatly dressed person spoke casually. Then he rushed straight toward Chen Zhendong's place.
Sitting on the Thousand-mile Steed, Lin Chuan kept observing the crowd below. After a series of searches, he suddenly saw Lin Xiaoyun.
This woman was too hateful; he almost fell victim to her hand. Now that he's met her, he absolutely cannot let her go.
Actually, for Lin Chuan, he could kill a bunch of them with just a casual move. After all, these surrounding buildings are their threats.
Many times, the buildings around people can cause unimaginable harm, whether it's a volcano or an earthquake. Even a slight major shake could cause danger to some poorly built structures. Many people are completely unaware of such potential dangers.
But in Lin Chuan's view, such things can sometimes be avoided, such as now when he is sitting on the Thousand-mile Steed, he does not have such danger. He can even sway the fates of many with simple movements of his Sky-reaching Halberd. Such power is rare. Even Lin Chuan himself depends on this Thousand-mile Steed for such power.
By this time, Lin Xiaoyun had already noticed the danger outside. But she appeared much more cautious now, treating any change outside with care. After all, Lin Chuan already saw her as an enemy, especially since he's not dead.
Suddenly, a man and two women appeared beside Lin Xiaoyun. Upon seeing Lin Xiaoyun, the man glanced at Lin Chuan above and said to her, "Is this guy the one who ran away?"
This man was named Chen Zhendong, who was considered Lin Xiaoyun's superior from the same sect.
Lin Xiaoyun nodded, gazing deeply at Lin Chuan. At this moment, Lin Chuan also saw this man and those two women. Although he did not clearly see the man and the two women in the hut that day, his intuition told him this man was the one messing around with Lin Xiaoyun.
Having decided not to let Lin Xiaoyun off, Lin Chuan naturally didn't want to spare this man either. He immediately struck the Thousand-mile Steed beneath him and charged toward the crowd.
Chen Zhendong saw Lin Chuan pouncing over like lightning and immediately raised his right arm.
Taking advantage of this, Lin Chuan saw the changes on Chen Zhendong's arm clearly.
A body begins to stiffen not long after death. But Chen Zhendong showed no such change at this moment; he was just like a sleeping person.
Witnessing this, Lin Chuan grabbed his Sky-reaching Halberd and fiercely struck at Chen Zhendong's chest.
The azure-blue light thrust like a sword and pierced through Chen Zhendong's chest.
In an instant, Chen Zhendong's body began to tremble. Even his eyes opened swiftly. At the same time, blood spurted from Chen Zhendong's mouth.
Lin Xiaoyun, sitting dazed beside him, never expected Chen Zhendong to react this way. Even when she grabbed his arm, doubt arose in her mind. But just as hope started to sprout in her heart, it quickly faded away.
After all, Chen Zhendong was now truly dead. Especially as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth and his body convulsed several times before completely collapsing to the side, even his arms no longer held the casual ease they initially did.
Lin Chuan didn't expect to kill this man so easily, and he looked coldly at Lin Xiaoyun and the other two women.
Lin Xiaoyun and the other two women were filled with panic in their eyes, dumbfounded and at a loss.
Facing Lin Xiaoyun and the other two women who had harmed him, Lin Chuan softened a bit, finally sighed, and said to the three, "You can leave."
Lin Xiaoyun and the other two women were evidently shocked that Lin Chuan would spare them, staring at him in surprise.
At this time, several people suddenly rushed over, moving unexpectedly quickly.
But upon seeing the situation here, these people were obviously in a panic. They were basically Chen Zhendong's usual companions. Yet, at this critical moment, they did nothing special. They even kept retreating backward. After all, the man in charge here was already dead. What power did these people have to confront Lin Chuan now? Let alone take revenge, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
When faced with threats around them, anyone will think about how to ensure their own safety. Especially when the other's strength reaches a certain level, this situation becomes even more apparent.
"All of you listen up. I'm only here for revenge. You surely know who I am. But I won't kill the innocent indiscriminately. If you want to take charge of things here, go ahead and manage. If not, I'll set everything here ablaze..."
At this moment, Lin Chuan shouted loudly to some people in the distance.
Lin Chuan inwardly did not want everything here to just disappear. But there was no better solution than to find someone here to calm things down.
In fact, Lin Chuan didn't really think these people would have any thoughts of revenge against him. After all, the power disparity between them was too great. They didn't even have half the strength Lin Chuan had before he became proficient.
Especially now, with Lin Chuan's steed and the ice blade in his hand, he was hardly comparable to ordinary people.
At this moment, a few people in the distance were preparing to sneak away. Hearing Lin Chuan's words, they were shocked, having not expected him to say such words at all.
As these people gathered together to repeatedly discuss, they also continued to observe Lin Chuan. Ultimately, driven by interests, they compromised. After all, many people bow before power and money, that's the real world.
"If you can guarantee our safety, then leave this matter here alone. We will handle it ourselves..."
Some time later, the leading man spoke up boldly. Especially as he constantly observed Lin Chuan, seemingly ready for action based on the situation.
To gain benefits at a critical moment, one must consider the surrounding dangers, especially to ensure that there are no threats. Otherwise, one might die in vain, without even knowing it.
Hearing such voices around, Lin Chuan immediately leaped onto his swift steed. In a few flashes, he disappeared from there.
As Lin Chuan left, a few people cautiously observed the surrounding changes. After some time, they dared to approach Chen Zhendong's side. Upon closer inspection, they fully understood. Regardless of the breathing, even the body was somewhat cold.
Just after Lin Chuan rode off, a large group of people suddenly descended from mid-air, looking somewhat strange and different from ordinary people.
The leader was very fat, resembling a live turtle.
Seeing these people, Lin Xiaoyun and everyone else's expressions changed, showing extreme terror.
The fat turtle-like leader looked at Lin Xiaoyun and others, murder intent heavy in his eyes, and shouted loudly to the people behind him, "Kill them for me."
His followers roared in unison and charged towards Lin Xiaoyun and her group.
Lin Chuan had only rode away for a few minutes when he suddenly felt something was amiss; he couldn't quite articulate why.
Suddenly turning around, Lin Chuan headed back towards Lin Xiaoyun's direction.
Lin Chuan hadn't gone far, so he returned in just a few minutes. What appeared before him was a brutal slaughter, with Lin Xiaoyun's group being chased by others.
Lin Chuan immediately revealed the Sky-reaching Halberd in his hand. Simultaneously, his steed swiftly surged close to him.
The change around Lin Chuan startled the turtle-like creature opposite. He had never seen such a powerful divine weapon that could still fight at critical moments. However, this creature abruptly raised his steel blade into the air when it was crucial.
Though this turtle-like creature endured consecutive insults, he understood that delaying further would result in unpredictable consequences, making him somewhat anxious.
At this moment, the turtle-like creature clearly saw Lin Chuan's steed charging towards him, especially with a faint light pillar appearing in front of Lin Chuan.
This was rarely seen by either the turtle-like creature or the people behind Lin Chuan. Although the light pillar's color wasn't very bright, its power was hardly comparable to ordinary beings. Many had never even heard of it before.
As Lin Chuan's light pillar touched the rocks, the surrounding rocks suddenly exploded. The shattered stones and dust were propelled onto the people around in an instant.
Neither the group nor the nearby turtle-like creature had any ability to dodge when the rocks splashed. Initially, these people still fantasized about revealing their so-called ancient divine weapons. But the light pillar in Lin Chuan's hands quickly stripped the leading figure of his ability to command the others, and he couldn't even ensure his own safety.
Countless shards and dust struck the turtle-like creature's body and surrounding his eyes. Finally, enraged, the turtle-like creature rolled to one side.
At the start, the turtle-like creature seemed unhurried. But at this moment, his rolling speed was absolutely the fastest here.
As Lin Chuan charged out while seated on his steed, the people behind him surged like a tide towards the dust not far away. The group, initially eager to rush forward, completely lost their combat ability amidst the surrounding dust and flying debris. Before others could appear, they clutched their heads and immediately rushed backward.
As he hovered in the air, Lin Chuan continuously watched the silhouette of the turtle-like creature. But after a few rolls, it vanished. Even so, Lin Chuan didn't give up; capturing the enemy leader would definitely mark a decisive victory. Nevertheless, the turtle-like creature seemed born to escape.
