Petty Gambler

Chapter 1517: Fleeing for Their Lives


Boom——


Chen Qing was struck and sent flying dozens of miles by Lin Chen's sword. Under this sword, Chen Qing suffered unprecedented heavy injuries, spewing fresh blood from his mouth.


However, Lin Chen's sword, although powerful, did not take Chen Qing's life, as Chen Qing was not an ordinary person.


Lei Hao was also affected by the energy wave from Lin Chen's sword, flew ten miles away, hit the ground, and his whole body's bones emitted cracking sounds.


This was merely the residual energy of the deadly attack deflected by Chen Qing, yet it nearly cost Lei Hao his life.


If not for Chen Qing blocking the attack, Lei Hao would surely have died under this sword!


At this moment, Lei Hao's entire body was in excruciating pain, blood pouring from his mouth, looking at Lin Chen with fear. Without hesitation, he took out a Secret Treasure, infused it with Spiritual Power, activated it, forming a Defensive Shield around his body.


This was a Powerful Magical Treasure, of the defensive type, given to him by his father to save his life.


Meanwhile, Lin Chen saw his attack being blocked by the maid beside Lei Hao, and immediately moved his body again, slashing out his second sword.


This sword was even more fierce than the last, the Divine Fire Power emerged, clearly Lin Chen was using the Fiery Fire Sword Technique he cultivated from the Fiery Fire Venerable.


Integrating the Blue Lotus Divine Flame into the Thunderfire Sword Technique, then executing it with the Fiery Fire Sword Technique, this sword surpassed any swordsmanship Lin Chen had used before.


Boom——


Lei Hao had just deployed the defensive magical treasure beside him when an immensely powerful fiery Sword Light came, the fire raging, Sword Qi rampant.


Following that, Lei Hao felt an incomparably powerful pressure land on him.


A pit over ten miles in diameter suddenly formed centered around Lei Hao, sinking into the ground.


One could see just how immense the energy pressure was that Lei Hao endured under this sword.


However, under this sword, Lei Hao found he hadn't suffered any injuries, clearly the defensive magical treasure in front of him had blocked Lin Chen's attack, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.


"Such a fierce sword, probably none of us here could withstand it," Tan Yu and others looked at the sword Lin Chen slashed out and said in amazement.


Yet, such a sword was blocked by Lei Hao's Defensive Shield, showing that Lei Hao had taken out his life-saving magical treasure.


"Indeed have such a life-saving trump card."


"Today, no method can save you."


Lin Chen held the Sharp Sword, flew to the sky above Lei Hao's giant pit, his eyes filled with icy killing intent, coldly saying.


Then, a shimmer flashed in Lin Chen's hand, and five Flame Crystal Stones appeared, covered in densely packed Spiritual Formation inscriptions.


Then Lin Chen waved his hand, and the five Crystal Stones quickly fell towards Lei Hao.


"Are those Flame Crystal Stones? No, there are profound and exquisite Spiritual Formation inscriptions on them!" Qiu Yue looked at the Crystal Stones Lin Chen threw down, said in surprise.


In the distance, Tan Yu and others also looked at Lin Chen's move, feeling puzzled, but when their gaze fell on those five Crystal Stones, a strong sense of crisis arose in their hearts.


"Retreat!"


Everyone instinctively generated this thought, their bodies instantly flying backwards wildly in all directions.


Boom——


A wild sound of explosion rang out as those five Crystal Stones fell upon Lei Hao.


Following was a colossal mushroom cloud, with this explosion, countless sand and stones flew within a hundred miles; the center area was directly blasted to ashes, and after the explosion, a hundred-mile giant pit emerged.


Although Tan Yu and others fled desperately to escape when Lin Chen threw down the five Flame Explosion Talismans, they still suffered some residual effects and were slightly injured.


Swoosh——


Only to see after the explosion, a slim figure swiftly flew into the giant pit of fire, then grabbed Lei Hao, whose Defensive Shield barely remained, and quickly fled into the distance.


Chen Qing's figure was extremely fast; Lin Chen saw this and frowned slightly, ultimately deciding not to pursue the kill.


Should Little Profound Turtle act, he could retain the two at the moment, but Lin Chen did not want to expose Little Profound Turtle in front of others.


It must be said, the Flying Crane Sect indeed deserved being among the top factions in Central State, as under the explosion of five Flame Explosion Talismans, there still remained defensive power.


It must be said, Lei Haotian cherished his son greatly, giving him such powerful life-saving cards.


And Lin Chen did not know, this time Lei Hao spent a large amount of money for the chance in the ruins, preparing a full set of life-saving cards for himself.


The Defense Secret Treasure Lei Hao carried, the speed Secret Treasure Chen Qing used to escape with Lei Hao, were all pre-arranged life-saving methods by Lei Haotian for Lei Hao.


Seeing Lei Hao escape, Lin Chen turned his gaze towards the direction where Tan Yingping and others were, only to find those guys had already fled when he threw five Flame Explosion Talismans.


Though Tan Yu and others also had some life-saving magical treasures similar to what Lei Hao used earlier, their Spiritual Power was greatly depleted at the moment, feeling it's unnecessary to tangle with Lin Chen, it was more important to find a place to recover Spiritual Power first.


Regarding Lin Chen's Talisman Inscriptions earlier, Tan Yu actually had a countermeasure, so he wasn't threatened to the point of fear by Lin Chen, but was greatly apprehensive towards Qiu Yue.


Given that Qiu Yue stood by Lin Chen, no one knew whether she would aid Lin Chen if needed.


It must be noted, the Talismans Qiu Yue carried were all personally refined by Wang Tong, possessing boundless power.


After all, Wang Tong had only three Direct Disciples, so naturally more resources were allocated to them, unlike the Tan Family, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, with numerous descendants and limited resource distribution.


Though Tan Family's offspring would receive more resources the more exceptional they are, but even so, it's never comparable to Qiu Yue.


And Qiu Yue was a little disciple within the Spiritual Formation Pavilion, with her senior brothers and sisters taking extra care of her, so Qiu Yue surely had numerous life-saving methods on hand.


Hence, after pondering, Tan Yu decided not to confront Lin Chen head-on in front of Qiu Yue, otherwise, if Qiu Yue were drawn in, they would gain no advantage.


Now that everyone around had fled, Qiu Yue looked at Lin Chen with full of doubts, not understanding why Lin Chen suddenly targeted Lei Hao, and judging by the earlier stance, Lin Chen was entirely aiming to put Lei Hao to death.
