"Damn it, there's no escaping, where did this guy get so many of these Explosive Crystal Stones." Tan Yu said furiously, unwillingly taking out a Powerful Secret Treasure, crushing it to form a gray shield in front of him.
This gray shield was one of the life-saving trump cards on his body, and the strongest of the three trump cards.
When he crushed the Defensive Powerful Magical Treasure, Tan Yu's heart was bleeding. But he had no choice but to do so at this moment to form a Defensive Shield to protect himself.
After all, the number of fiery red Crystal Stones falling was too many, and Tan Yu could sense an extremely terrifying killing intent from them.
If these fiery red Crystal Stones were to all explode instantly, even Tan Yu might be in mortal danger.
So between the Powerful Magical Treasure and his life, Tan Yu naturally chose the latter.
Boom——
Just as Tan Yu activated the Powerful Magical Treasure, blasts echoed through the mountains, a massive explosion occurred, and instantly, flames filled the sky, turning several thousand miles of mountain range into a sea of fire.
Under such a powerful explosion, with the Green Crystal Stone Veins at its center, the earth shook for miles around, and the shockwaves spread tens of thousands of miles further.
Boom——
As the island trembled, martial artists near the island, who were originally searching for opportunities and collecting various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, all sensed the island's disturbance. Everyone immediately realized that there must have been a major clash on this island.
Many martial artists, seeing this, immediately dropped the Treasures they were collecting and hurriedly fled the island. After all, compared to Treasures, they chose to save their lives.
"Who would've thought that the power of fifty Flame Explosion Talismans exploding simultaneously would be so terrifying." Lin Chen looked at the fiery sea before him, utterly shocked.
The Flame Explosion Talismans were powerful, but Lin Chen had never tried the power of so many exploding at once.
This time, to take revenge on Tan Yu and ensure a kill with one strike, Lin Chen went all out, throwing fifty Flame Explosion Talismans at once.
It's important to know that this was a massive fortune, with one Flame Explosion Talisman priced at a hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals according to Zhang Hongying's standards, making these fifty pieces worth five million Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
So, not only did Tan Yu's heart bleed when he crushed his Defensive Magical Treasure, but Lin Chen's heart bled as well when he took out those fifty Flame Explosion Talismans.
After the explosion, Lin Chen glanced down and noticed that the massive explosion only managed to blast out a few large pieces from the Green Crystal Stone Veins, while the other parts remained untouched.
Then, Lin Chen turned his gaze to Tan Yu and the others, wanting to see if Tan Yu had been killed by his explosion.
However, what Lin Chen saw was a charred figure hastily collecting the shattered pieces of Green Crystal Stone before turning into a Sword Light and swiftly escaping.
"Lin Chen, I'll remember this debt, and one day I will repay you a hundredfold," Tan Yu threatened Lin Chen before leaving. This time he suffered heavy losses, not only was his Defensive Secret Treasure shattered, but his original vestment robe was also torn apart by the Flame Explosion Talisman, his body severely injured, nearly costing him his life.
But fortunately, his Defensive Secret Treasure withstood ninety percent of the Flame Explosion Talismans' damage, which allowed him to preserve his life.
Watching Tan Yu's departing light, Lin Chen was secretly amazed and thought to himself how large a life Tan Yu had, surviving even this.
However, Lin Chen also knew that a strong person like Tan Yu had many life-saving cards, making it difficult to completely kill him.
And when Tan Yu left, he took several large pieces of Flame Crystal Stone with him, making Lin Chen quite displeased.
Watching Tan Yu's escape speed, it was evident he used some kind of Powerful Magical Treasure. Lin Chen didn't pursue him, as he estimated that without using the Qiankun Escape Talisman, he wouldn't catch up.
"Lin Chen, you threw so many Flame Explosion Talismans, why not throw more, then that guy definitely wouldn't escape." Little Profound Turtle climbed out of Lin Chen's sleeve and flew to Lin Chen's shoulder, speaking nonchalantly.
Little Profound Turtle hadn't expected Tan Yu's life to be so tough, surviving this explosion.
Keep in mind that Lin Chen's Explosive Talismans earlier had equivalent power to its current attacks, which is why Lin Chen previously said it wasn't a guaranteed kill, telling it not to reveal itself lightly.
"You understand nothing, do you think I didn't want to throw more? But my Flame Explosion Talismans don't get stronger with more talismans thrown, even if there were more, it would just enlarge the explosion area."
"With my current cultivation strength, stacking the power of fifty talismans is my limit." Lin Chen glared at the Little Profound Turtle, speaking lightly.
For Tan Yu, how could Lin Chen not want to kill him directly, but according to Lin Chen's research, stacking the power of Flame Explosion Talismans requires using the Fire Control Technique, or else the flame's power isn't simply additive.
Bear in mind that when those Flame Explosion Talismans explode, the flame's power would dissipate all around, and if Lin Chen threw more than fifty at a time, not only would he fail to use the Fire Control Technique to concentrate the flames' power, but he himself would also be harmed by the explosion's power.
"I see."
Little Profound Turtle nodded after hearing Lin Chen's explanation, but actually didn't quite understand Lin Chen's reasoning, just felt it somewhat made sense...
However, knowing Lin Chen so well, if Lin Chen truly could use those Flame Explosion Talismans to take Tan Yu's life, he would have done so long ago without needing to be told.
Nonetheless, just as Lin Chen used the Flame Explosion Talismans to blast Tan Yu, a graceful silhouette was approaching the island, suddenly witnessing the massive fiery sea erupting from the island, and was immediately stunned.
This silhouette was none other than Chen Qing, who had escaped with Lei Hao and returned, seeking an opportunity to assassinate Lin Chen.
But upon witnessing the endless fiery sea and massive explosions on the island, Chen Qing's heart completely retreated.
