Chapter 1842 - 1843: Overwhelming Force
Caught off guard, Wang Lin's original attack directed at Shu Tie was immediately redirected to clash with Lin Chen; in an instant, he was thrown back into the air and crashed through several towering trees along the way.
Shu Tie, who had escaped danger by a hair's breadth, was left stunned, staring blankly at Lin Chen in front of him. Lin Chen's cold gaze was fixed on him, and a formidable aura emanated from his body. For a moment, Shu Tie had no words, until Shu Mei's scream broke his reverie.
The cause of Shu Mei's scream was none other than Wang Lin, who had suffered a setback.
He emerged from the dense forest, a line of blood already appearing on his face, glaring viciously at Lin Chen with a truly grim and fierce expression.
At this moment, Shu Tie also came to his senses, a bitter feeling welling up in his heart.
He had initially thought Lin Chen was a useless person, but now Lin Chen had suddenly displayed great strength. In contrast, Zhang Tianhao, whom they had trusted all along, turned out to be a villain, as he attempted to kill the two siblings over a batch of Blackwind Wolf materials.
Although Lin Chen hadn't done anything yet, Shu Tie was certain that he must have been the one to kill that group of Blackwind Wolves!
One person slaughtering a group of Blackwind Wolves, including a Martial Artist Tier Three Blackwind Wolf King known for its cunning more so than humans?
Such terrifying combat prowess made him regret ever getting involved with Lin Chen.
At this time, Wang Lin was glaring viciously at Lin Chen, and Zhang Tianhao also reacted, snorting coldly as he said:
"Hmph! Lin Chen? I misjudged you; I didn't expect your cultivation to be at the Martial Artist Tier Two. But if that's all you have, you'll be staying here today! Attacking my friend, you must be prepared to die!"
Lin Chen, upon hearing this, merely glanced at Zhang Tianhao and then ignored him, turning to Wang Lin instead and saying:
"Last time, when you seized my cave, I did not trouble you, that was my utmost leniency. But now you dare to provoke me again, if I relent again, it would show I'm easy to bully!"
Seeing Lin Chen ignore him, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but feel a mix of shame and anger, shouting:
"Hey, kid, I'm talking to you!"
"Hmph, where does this annoying fly come from?"
"You!"
Zhang Tianhao was furious, then surprisingly let out a sinister laugh, saying:
"Kid, you're bold to speak to me that way. I don't care whose those Blackwind Wolf materials are, but today, I want those materials, and your life too!"
"Brother Wang Lin, leave this person to me!"
Although Wang Lin would have liked nothing more than to kill Lin Chen on the spot, he remained cautious and reminded Zhang Tianhao:
"Brother Tianhao, be careful, this guy's strength is not weak."
Zhang Tianhao sneered dismissively, saying:
"Haha, Brother Wang Lin, you're overthinking it. A Martial Artist Tier Two can't make any waves in front of me!"
Then he cast a cold glance at Lin Chen:
"Kid, prepare to die!"
With that said, his aura erupted, unexpectedly revealing his Martial Artist Tier Three cultivation!
Though it was just the early stage of Martial Artist Tier Three, it was solidly Tier Three, one rank higher than Lin Chen.
He retrieved a long spear from his Storage Ring and then made a beautiful spear flower flourish, the spearhead pointing directly at Lin Chen.
"Don't say I bullied you; quickly take out your weapon, or you'll have no chance at all!"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, not being polite; he flipped his hand, and the Tianyan Ancient Sword appeared in his hand.
However, the appearance of the Tianyan Ancient Sword was indeed not very eye-catching, especially compared to Zhang Tianhao's shiny silver spear, making it seem very low-key.
"Tsk, this broken sword, you have the nerve to take it out? Or are you giving up and ready to die?"
Facing Zhang Tianhao's ridicule, Lin Chen remained unangered, casually running his fingers over the Tianyan Ancient Sword, without looking at him, and said lightly:
"One move! Just one move; if you can take it, I will admit defeat!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but laugh arrogantly:
"Haha, such an arrogant kid. Fine, I'll take your move, come on!"
Lin Chen smiled faintly and didn't argue with Zhang Tianhao, exhaled lightly, then raised the Tianyan Ancient Sword in his hand, as fine and thin traces of Sword Qi began to rapidly gather, concentrating at the tip of the Tianyan Ancient Sword.
Soon, as more Sword Qi accumulated, a dark golden Sword Qi less than half a foot long appeared on the Tianyan Ancient Sword; it seemed thin and weak, but only Lin Chen knew the power of the extremely compressed Sword Qi within!
Seeing the move fully formed, Lin Chen looked up at Zhang Tianhao.
Being stared at by Lin Chen, Zhang Tianhao felt an inexplicable surge of panic in his heart. He hastily mobilized all his vitality, holding the silver spear horizontally in front of his chest, ready to attack at any moment.
Lin Chen was moving as well!
He held the hilt of the Tianyan Ancient Sword in both hands, placing it in front of his chest, then suddenly made a slight motion, slashing out diagonally with the sword!
"Tianyan Nine Styles, Speed of the Sword!"
The dark golden Sword Qi at the tip of the Tianyan Ancient Sword immediately detached and shot rapidly towards Zhang Tianhao's chest, its speed as fast as lightning!
At this moment, Zhang Tianhao, the target, was greatly shocked, his expression instantly turning incredulous, but his hands dared not slow down for a moment. His entire aura soared to its peak, then he swung the silver spear with vigorous force, like a silver dragon.
"Silver Dragon Spear Technique, Furious Dragon Break!"
Faintly, a dragon's roar seemed to echo; Zhang Tianhao's spear carried a thick stream of silver vitality, like a dragon, pouncing towards the dark golden Sword Qi.
At this point, the Sword Qi reached him and collided fiercely with the spear tip.
What Zhang Tianhao did not expect was that this move, that had always been invincible in the past, did not last long. The silver dragon was quickly shattered into countless silver sparkles!
Yet the dark golden Sword Qi did not lose momentum, still hurtling towards Zhang Tianhao's chest!
Zhang Tianhao was appalled, hurriedly raising his spear horizontally to block, whereupon the Sword Qi collided against the spear shaft; albeit tiny, the Sword Qi carried tremendous force, sending Zhang Tianhao flying, crashing into a massive rock where he finally stopped, and the great impact left the rock covered in cracks!
At this moment, the Sword Qi also lost its momentum, gradually dissipating into golden electrical sparks in the air, while Zhang Tianhao spewed a mouthful of blood and then looked in horror at the long spear in his hand, almost completely broken, with only a small part still connected. Overwhelmed with anger, he simply collapsed.
Now, from a distance, Wang Lin's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, and just as he was about to turn and flee, an icy voice rang out.
