"Stop thinking about slacking off and get to work, otherwise you won't earn enough Spirit Crystals to enter the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to cultivate," Lin Chen said blandly, eyeing the Little Profound Turtle.
Afterwards, the man and the beast continued to mine the Green Crystal Stone. As time passed, the majority of the Green Crystal Stone was mined by the Little Profound Turtle, with Lin Chen's contribution being relatively minor.
During the mining, Lin Chen pushed his swordsmanship to the limit, surpassing the degree used in previous battles against enemies.
In the following days, Lin Chen and the Little Profound Turtle focused entirely on crystal stone mining.
As Lin Chen became more skilled in mining, he expended more Spiritual Power, and the swordsmanship he executed grew increasingly formidable, greatly improving over before.
One day, while Lin Chen was mining Spirit Crystals, the Little Profound Turtle suddenly looked toward a direction as if sensing something.
"Lin Chen, that guy is back again," the Little Profound Turtle perceived Tan Yu's return to the island and promptly informed Lin Chen.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately cast the Abyssal Eye in that direction and indeed saw Tan Yu had returned to the island.
Regarding Tan Yu, Lin Chen noted that since three days ago, his cultivation seemed stronger, indicating that this guy possessed formidable treasures, not only allowing his injuries to heal but also his Spiritual Power to recover.
"This guy, coming and going like this, how can anyone concentrate on mining!" Lin Chen coldly remarked, his gaze fixed in Tan Yu's direction, his heart ignited with fury.
"Little Profound Turtle, hide away first. This time, I must settle things with this bastard, so he stops bothering us endlessly," Lin Chen stated calmly, then instructed the Little Profound Turtle to shrink and hide inside his sleeve.
Next, Lin Chen waved his hand, taking out dozens of formation flags and arranged them around the mountain.
Just after setting up the formation flags around the mountain, Tan Yu slowly appeared before Lin Chen's eyes.
"Tan Yu, you're really like a lingering spirit, but since you're here, you might never leave!" Lin Chen coldly said, looking at Tan Yu.
"Lin Chen, don't be arrogant. Last time I fell into your trap and was unable to fight back, but now I understand your tactics, so I won't fall for them again!" Tan Yu said coldly to Lin Chen.
Three days ago, he was ambushed by Lin Chen, and when Lin Chen's Flame Explosion Talismans rained down, he realized too late, unable to evade in time.
This time, knowing Lin Chen's tactics, he naturally wouldn't suffer the same, as long as he didn't allow Lin Chen to encircle him with those fiery stones, there was no danger.
So, Tan Yu pondered how to avoid Lin Chen's fiery stones, and he must seize the initiative in the battle. After coming to the island, he immediately swung his Sharp Sword, attacking Lin Chen.
Seeing the sword coming at him from Tan Yu, Lin Chen didn't dare to block it head-on, promptly employing the Purple Thunder Shield Technique to dodge.
Against Tan Yu's swordsmanship, Lin Chen wasn't confident in receiving that strike.
When Tan Yu saw Lin Chen using a spell to dodge his attack, he was surprised, not expecting Lin Chen to possess such agile movement techniques to evade his Sword Qi.
Then Tan Yu's attack landed on the distant mountains, causing a loud crash, causing the entire peak to tremble.
After escaping to the distance with the Purple Thunder Shield Technique, Lin Chen quickly used the Wind Shadow Clone, instantaneously creating ten identical figures, each holding a fiery stone in their hand.
Tan Yu, seeing Lin Chen's move, was startled, unable to think much, and directly stabbed at one of the Lin Chen figures with a Sharp Sword.
He had witnessed the power of those fiery stones three days ago, and if Lin Chen detonated them now, his consequences would be dire.
Therefore, Tan Yu absolutely couldn't allow Lin Chen to trigger those fiery stones.
The aura of these Lin Chen figures was perfectly identical, making it impossible for Tan Yu to discern the real Lin Chen in a short time.
But the fiery stones in their hands must all be real.
Buzz—
Tan Yu slashed at one of the Lin Chen figures.
Boom—
As Tan Yu's sword cleaved through one of Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones, the fiery stone in its hand burst, unleashing a violent power that struck Tan Yu.
Hit by this formidable power, Tan Yu's body flew sideways, barely steadying in the air, only to see Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones charging at him aggressively, in a reckless sacrificial manner.
Boom—
Boom—
Indeed, Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones, regardless of their inherent strength, were simply used to deploy the Flame Explosion Talismans.
As the figures slammed into Tan Yu one by one, Tan Yu was pushed further towards the island's outskirts amidst repeated explosions.
Each figure carried only one fiery stone, with Tan Yu's physique barely enduring the attack without being too dangerous.
However, a continuous stream of Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones, armed with fiery stones, attacked Tan Yu, and the relentless explosive power finally became too much for Tan Yu's body to bear.
When the last of Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones crashed into Tan Yu, sacrificing themselves to detonate the Flame Explosion Talisman, Lin Chen's true form appeared behind Tan Yu.
With a flip of his hand, Lin Chen hurled a handful of Flame Explosion Talismans towards Tan Yu's body.
At the moment Lin Chen appeared, Tan Yu was instantly flustered, realizing he was in trouble and tried to use a spell to escape, but found himself no longer in the mountainous area but on a boundless grassland, an entirely unfamiliar environment around him.
Stunned, Tan Yu finally understood he had been drawn into an Illusionary Realm by Lin Chen.
