Chapter 1725 - 1726: The Power of the Heavenly Flame
On top of Vermilion Bird City, Zhang Xuan and Lin Chen's women led the martial artists and stood ready.
"Can Chen handle so many people alone?" Tang Bao'er said, clenching her fists tightly.
Xue Ying took a deep breath and said, "Since Chen doesn't want us to go out, he naturally has his plan. If we were to rush out now, we might not help him but rather become a burden."
"But... facing three thousand martial artists alone, that's just too..."
"I believe in Lin Chen," Xue Ying said solemnly.
Xue Ying knows Lin Chen the best and is aware of his capabilities.
If he's not confident, Lin Chen wouldn't take the risk.
Looking at this alliance of martial artists, Lin Chen's face showed intense killing intent.
However, Zhou Guang didn't rush forward directly; instead, he said to the five elders behind him, "You go test the boy's strength first."
Upon hearing Zhou Guang's words, the elders' faces lit up with joy.
They knew this was a golden opportunity.
Zhou Guang was very shrewd. Lin Chen came out alone, and his face showed no trace of fear. What does this imply?
It implies Lin Chen has his own means.
If Zhou Guang acted hastily with all forces, he might fall into Lin Chen's ambush.
Since they had the upper hand, it was better to send someone to test the opponent first.
The strength of these five elders was at the initial rank of the Immortal Emperor, which in Zhou Guang's eyes, was more than enough to deal with Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's ability to fight five was still very strained.
The Grand Elder slowly stepped forward, his expression fierce, and said to Zhou Guang, "Family Head, don't worry. I'll capture this boy for you to flay and draw his tendons, avenging the young master."
"Thank you, Grand Elder," Zhou Guang nodded in agreement.
The Grand Elder looked at Lin Chen with disdain: "Just a mere kid, don't worry, we'll make quick work of this."
With that, the Grand Elder led his people toward Lin Chen.
For Lin Chen to become the City Lord of Vermilion Bird City overnight, he must have his means.
Thus, although it was five against one, these five elders were still cautious.
These five people had always served the Zhou family, especially since they came from the same sect and often acted together, thus their coordination was very skillful.
Slowly, the five people approached Lin Chen, their positioning was very meticulous, not only sealing all of his retreat routes but also mutually supporting each other.
Lin Chen looked at the approaching five, his expression calm as water, the Tianyan Ancient Sword appearing in his hand, tightly watching them.
Among the Zhou family's five elders, three held swords, one held a soul-reaping scythe, and another was using a stick.
Zhou Fang, the Grand Elder, shook the soul-reaping scythe in his hand, and a mass of black blade light enveloped Lin Chen directly.
The three sword-wielding elders also felt the chill in their expressions, their swords swinging like flying, transforming into three streaks of sword light aimed at Lin Chen.
The elder with the iron staff, his face icy, swung his stick quickly, suddenly leaping up toward Lin Chen.
Five attacks immediately transformed into a black shine, appearing in front of Lin Chen's eyes in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chen naturally dared not be careless, wielding the Tianyan Ancient Sword before him.
Swish, swish, swish!
Seven-colored sword light shot out from the sword, directly rushing towards the attacks of the five Zhou family elders.
Bam!
The attacks collided, and under Lin Chen's seven-colored light, the five's attacks were instantly shattered.
The five's faces slightly changed upon seeing their attacks broken.
Lin Chen squinted his eyes at the five.
From their attacks, the elder with the soul-reaping scythe and the one with the stick were the strongest, while the three with swords were fairly average.
Especially the elder with the soul-reaping scythe, the scythe in his hand exuded a cold glow.
This soul-reaping scythe gave Lin Chen a bloody feeling; one couldn't tell how much blood it absorbed to be refined.
The first attack was shattered by Lin Chen, and the five quickly launched another attack.
Swish, swish, swish!
The three sword-wielding elders slashed three amazing strikes towards Lin Chen.
Although their moves were fast, they were too slow for Lin Chen.
With a swift movement, Lin Chen easily dodged their attack.
The elder with the soul-reaping scythe was very cunning, always hiding behind the others, waiting for Lin Chen to reveal a flaw, ready to attack.
As for the elder with the stick, he had a stance of fiercely pouncing and crashing.
He swung the stick in his hand, constantly hacking towards Lin Chen.
Their attacks almost completely sealed Lin Chen's retreat.
For a moment, Lin Chen could only resist.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Guang's eyes showed a cold smile.
"This Lin Chen is just nothing special."
Bam!
Lin Chen had just dodged a stick coming from above when three swords approached.
Swish, swish, swish!
Lin Chen's body turned into a phantom, instantly dodging the three streaks of sword light.
At this moment, suddenly Lin Chen felt a cold light slashing directly across.
Seeing this, the other four shook their heads.
Zhou Fang's soul-reaping scythe was unparalleled; once it moved, it would certainly make the opponent's heart shatter.
Facing the enlarging blade light before him, Lin Chen's eyes focused, and his right hand suddenly burned with flames, grabbing towards the soul-reaping scythe.
Witnessing this, Zhou Fang revealed a confident smile.
Finally, Lin Chen's hand grasped the soul-reaping scythe.
This was unbelievable!
Zhou Fang's smile froze instantly.
Because Lin Chen's hand forcibly grasped the soul-reaping scythe, and not only that, the flames on his hand spread along the scythe.
This is supernatural fire!
Zhou Fang's face turned extremely ugly.
The soul-reaping scythe turned into a fire scythe, and the flames rapidly expanded, instantly spreading towards Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang looked at the fire rushing towards him, his face showing a terrified expression.
Not far away, Zhou Guang and others' faces changed drastically.
"This kid actually possesses supernatural fire."
Quickly, Zhou Guang's eyes flickered with greed.
If they captured Lin Chen and extracted the fire from his body, his power would surely surge.
But in the next instant, everyone witnessed a shocking scene.
Golden flames instantly set Zhou Fang's entire body ablaze.
Within moments, Zhou Fang turned into a fireball, screaming in agony.
Instantly, Zhou Fang had become a pile of ashes.
Witnessing this, everyone was shocked.
This supernatural fire was too powerful, instantly reducing an Immortal Emperor-level figure to ashes.
Even in the immortal realm, such a supernatural fire was extremely precious.
Looking at the ashes falling from the sky, silence filled the surroundings.
Everyone was shocked by the power of Lin Chen's supernatural fire.
Having destroyed Zhou Fang, Lin Chen did not stop, waving the Tianyan Ancient Sword.
Seven-colored sword light dispersed from all directions, encircling the four.
At this moment, the situation changed, and the previously superior individuals instantly found themselves surrounded by sword light.
The dazzling sword light formed a large net, enclosing the four in the center.
Scorching supernatural fire, wrapped in sword light, shredded their defenses.
Bam, bam, bam!
Accompanied by three muffled sounds, the three sword-wielding martial artists' bodies exploded, turning to ashes like the Grand Elder.
