Chapter 1479 - 1480: Crushing Defeat
Lin Chen's strength is now only a step away from the God Realm, and once he breaks through, the advantage he has established will turn into nothingness.
So, since the two sides are already mortal enemies, Lin Chen must die.
"Kid, to be honest, I admire you. At such a young age, you have such strength and methods. But unfortunately, the gap between you and me is still like heaven and earth."
As he spoke, Yuan Tiangang's gaze sharpened, and the hand wearing the Patek Philippe watch slowly lifted. With a grasp in the void, the previously shattered giant hand reformed once again.
It reached for the fiery lotus in Lin Chen's hand.
Lin Chen looked at the giant hand that had gathered again, and his gaze sharpened as well. The fiery lotus in his hand shot out fiercely.
"Explode for me!"
Yuan Tiangang's cold voice echoed throughout Devil Island, and the six-colored lotus flower was directly crushed by him.
Boom!
A brilliant light like that of a nuclear explosion instantly bloomed, making the previously dim sky look like broad daylight.
Pfft!
As the six-colored lotus flower shattered, Lin Chen also suffered a severe internal injury. He staggered, almost falling to the ground.
He clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood.
Watching this tragic scene, Zhang Yu and his companions' eyes were burning with fury.
They all rushed towards Yuan Tiangang without any prior agreement.
However, before they could get close, Yuan Tiangang waved his robe sleeve, and they were all thrown heavily to the ground as if they had been struck.
Their bodies flew backward, instantly becoming blood-soaked figures.
"Bastard!" Seeing his companions being swatted away by Yuan Tiangang, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with even more anger.
The fiery wings behind him appeared once more, and his body turned into a streak of light rushing toward Yuan Tiangang.
"Hmph, still not giving up?"
Yuan Tiangang's face showed a faint smile as the giant hand grabbed fiercely at Lin Chen.
Pfft!
The giant hand descended like a mountain, directly capturing Lin Chen in its grasp.
"Shadow? Interesting." Yuan Tiangang's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile on his lips.
At this moment, Lin Chen's body had appeared beside Yuan Tiangang, swinging his fist down fiercely at Yuan Tiangang's head.
However, Yuan Tiangang calmly tilted his body slightly, not only evading Lin Chen's attack but also slamming a palm heavily onto Lin Chen's chest.
Bang!
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, a powerful force surged into Lin Chen's body, and he was flung backward, bloodied.
"Lin Chen!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yu, Li Mengli, and Alice's eyes were filled with flames of anger.
They wanted to rush over and fight Yuan Tiangang to the death, but at this moment, they were already seriously injured and couldn't even move.
Lin Chen's body plummeted rapidly, crashing through several large trees before hitting the ground.
Crash!
Lin Chen's body created a deep crater on the ground.
Yuan Tiangang looked at Lin Chen, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
"You actually possess Space Law. Little guy, I'm becoming more and more interested in you. I want to see what kind of treasure is inside your body that makes you so strong."
With those words, the giant hand directly grabbed the fallen Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen!"
Seeing Lin Chen being captured, Li Mengli gritted her teeth, tears constantly falling.
Scenes of the time spent with Lin Chen flashed before her eyes.
Zhang Yu beside her seemed to sense Li Mengli's emotional upheaval and quickly grabbed her shoulder.
"Mengli, don't go. It's no use if you go."
"Damn it, that old man Yuan is too powerful. We're like ants, utterly powerless against him." Alice stomped her foot in anger.
Li Mengli looked at Yuan Tiangang, her lips bitten to the point of bleeding.
Her fingers clutched tightly into her palm. Although blood was flowing, she didn't feel a hint of pain.
Lin Chen had saved her time and again, but now that Lin Chen was in danger, she could do nothing but watch.
"No, I have to do something." Li Mengli bit her lip, her body suddenly darting out.
Lin Chen was gripped by Yuan Tiangang's giant hand. Although he wanted to resist, he had no strength left.
His strength was far inferior to Yuan Tiangang's.
"I've lost so miserably this time." A bitter smile crossed Lin Chen's lips.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the constantly approaching Lin Chen, a cold smile playing on his lips. Once he grasped Lin Chen's secrets, his own strength would surely improve by leaps and bounds. Even if he entered the legendary Heavenly Realm in the future, he would have more life-saving treasures.
Thinking of this, a golden light gathered at his fingertips, intending to extract Lin Chen's memories.
However, just as Yuan Tiangang was about to act on Lin Chen, he suddenly sensed a cold aura from behind.
This aura was so chilling that it even made his mind tremble slightly.
"Is this the Nine Yin True Fire?"
Yuan Tiangang's eyes narrowed slightly as he turned around.
Behind him was a graceful figure wrapped tightly in a mass of black flames, charging at him.
"Today's haul is quite plentiful. This little girl actually possesses the Nine Yin True Fire." A mocking smile flashed at the corners of Yuan Tiangang's mouth.
Li Mengli, in her fury, had finally activated the Nine Yin True Fire within her. At this moment, her entire body was engulfed in black cold flames, her jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, and her bright eyes showing a determined resolve.
Many eyes fixated on that figure. At this moment, she seemed to be carried by the wind, like a black sword slicing towards Yuan Tiangang.
"Mengli."
Seeing Li Mengli rushing at Yuan Tiangang, Zhang Yu and the others were stunned.
Their eyes were filled with shock. All along, Li Mengli had been the weakest among them, but today her momentum was completely different from usual.
"How is this possible? Mengli's strength has actually reached the God Realm." Alice's expression changed slightly.
"I don't know how this happened." Zhang Yu also gave a bitter smile.
The Li Mengli he knew had always been so gentle, but today, Li Mengli was a complete stranger.
"She possesses the Nine Yin True Fire."
Though the young ones didn't understand, people like Zhang Sanfeng could see the black flames burning on Li Mengli clearly.
"This girl is bearing the Nine Yin True Fire, no wonder she has such a presence." Elsa was likewise surprised.
The Nine Yin True Fire is a rare Spiritual Fire on Earth, and anyone who possesses it is sure to become a God Realm powerhouse in the future.
"Little girl, if you hadn't shown this gift, I might have spared your life. But since you're courting death, I'll fulfill your wish."
With those words, Yuan Tiangang's eyes turned cold with killing intent.
He knew very well that once he killed Lin Chen, these people would definitely seek revenge against him. How could he let a potential God Realm powerhouse grow up?
Eliminating all threats in their infancy had always been Yuan Tiangang's motto.
