Chapter 1555: Chapter 1555: Threatening with the Person You Care About Most
"Damn it, how many elixirs does this guy have on him, and what level are these elixirs? How can his recovery power be so strong, showing no signs of spiritual power exhaustion at all." As the battle continued, Shi An increasingly felt something was amiss.
Although Shi An was constantly consuming elixirs to restore spiritual power, his full-blown attacks on Lin Chen were insufficient to match the rate at which his internal spiritual power was being consumed, so much so that his spiritual power was only about seventy to eighty percent of its peak.
As the battle continued, his spiritual power would only decrease more and more, yet Lin Chen showed no sign of spiritual power depletion.
If the battle continued like this, a war of attrition would indeed be effective, but contrary to his expectations, it wouldn’t be Shi An exhausting Lin Chen rather than Lin Chen wearing him down.
Hence, Shi An had already begun to harbor intentions of retreating, no longer daring to hope to kill Lin Chen and seize the treasures from him.
Lin Chen was simply a monster, far beyond his calculations.
Thus, Shi An gathered all his strength and slashed out a sword, preparing to turn and flee amidst the chaos when Lin Chen was defending.
"Heh, you initiated this against me, now it’s not so easy to run away." Lin Chen looked at Shi An with cold eyes, unwilling to let him off.
With a thought, Lin Chen caused his spiritual power within to madly converge, instantly transforming into seven Wind Shadow Clones to surround Shi An, locking him firmly at the center.
"Clones? This guy actually has such means, splitting into clones that even I can’t tell the real from the false." Shi An looked at the seven clones and Lin Chen’s original body in front of him, temporarily unable to discern which of these eight figures was Lin Chen’s real body.
Shi An was greatly shocked by Lin Chen’s technique, for even with his understanding of various true intent powers, he couldn’t refine clones, proving Lin Chen’s talent in cultivation far surpassed his own.
Buzz buzz—
Just as Shi An was stunned, Lin Chen moved again, manipulating the Wind Shadow Clones to crash toward Shi An, each holding a Flame Explosion Talisman.
As the clones collided with Shi An, the Flame Explosion Talismans were ignited.
Boom—
In an instant, the Flame Explosion Talismans exploded, blasting fiercely in front of Shi An, with numerous flames bursting everywhere.
Shi An was extremely terrified, but fortunately, he had a potent defensive magical treasure on him, which ensured those Flame Explosion Talismans didn’t cause him too much harm, only consuming his internal spiritual power.
"Luckily, I obtained that powerful defensive magical treasure in this canyon, otherwise I might have fallen to this bastard’s hands by now."
"This guy is too uncanny. Even though he is only at the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, he has so many powerful techniques. It seems I can’t kill him, and I should leave this place soon." Shi An fearfully glanced at Lin Chen, now abandoning the thought of exterminating him, only wanting to escape quickly.
However, just as Shi An tried to flee, he discovered thirteen flying swords unknowingly swirling around him, encircling him, each carrying sharp sword intent.
The sword intents locked him, combining together to form a sword array.
Seeing this, Shi An’s heart became even more chaotic, realizing how laughable his decision to plot against Lin Chen and attempt to kill him had been.
Lin Chen possesses so many techniques, this sword array in front of him definitely has the power to destroy him, making him panic-stricken.
But now, Shi An has no other choice, he must fight with all his might to break free, otherwise, he will surely perish here.
Buzz—
Shi An didn’t care much anymore, gripping his sword tightly, he slashed out with all his strength, and the sword qi formed by spiritual power aimed at Lin Chen’s sword array.
Shi An, undeniably a prominent figure of the Heaven Hall, displayed such power in this sword strike, causing Lin Chen’s sword array to tremble slightly, instantly revealing a gap.
However, just as Shi An was about to break through the sword array, Lin Chen changed formation with a thought, allowing the thirteen flying swords to shift positions, emitting spiritual power and sword intent, sealing the gap again, trapping Shi An within the sword array once more.
For Shi An to break out of the sword array is no easy task.
"Damn it, this guy’s control over the sword array is actually so powerful." Shi An was extremely shocked internally; to display the sword array to such a degree would even be beyond Shi An.
Such a monstrous figure, once offended, if not eradicated, will likely bring endless unease in the future.
However, Shi An couldn’t worry about all that at the moment; he merely wanted to escape.
Buzz buzz—
The fierce sword intent locked onto Shi An, causing him to panic completely internally.
"Lin Chen, you should know that I’m a notable presence in the Heaven Hall; if you kill me, neither the Heaven Hall nor the Yunlong Heavenly Palace will let you off."
"Why not let me go, and we can call off the grievances between us?" Shi An looked at Lin Chen and said frantically.
However, Lin Chen heard these words but was unmoved.
Between Lin Chen and Shi An, Shi An, along with Yun Kaige and others, pursued him on Yang Flame Island; the grudges were already established, Lin Chen didn’t believe Shi An would truly clear the grievances between them, and besides, Shi An had witnessed Lin Chen’s sword array and Wind Shadow Clone trump cards, Lin Chen didn’t want these cards revealed to other martial artists.
So exterminating Shi An is the most secure method, especially as Lin Chen is confident he can eliminate Shi An.
Previously battling Shi An for a day and night, Lin Chen had roughly gauged Shi An’s trump cards, otherwise, Lin Chen wouldn’t show his own trump cards.
"Lin Chen, don’t be ungrateful, I know your relatives in the Eastern Domain; if you don’t let me go, once I leave the ruins, just you wait, I will bring people to the Eastern Domain and destroy your Jade Cauldron Sect."
Seeing Lin Chen ignoring him without intention of letting him go, Shi An immediately threatened.
Shi An had learned some things about Lin Chen from Lei Hao, using it against him now, knowing this was Lin Chen’s soft spot, he naturally wanted to exploit it.
Buzz—
As Shi An mentioned the Eastern Domain and the Jade Cauldron Sect, a strong killing intent instantly burst forth from Lin Chen.
Lin Chen had harbored killing intent toward Shi An before, and now after being threatened with the Eastern Domain and Jade Cauldron Sect by Shi An, Lin Chen’s killing intent reached its peak.
