Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Coming to the Rescue
Rumble——
The Iron Mountain Shield cast by Wan Qiansan shattered, and the attack from the man in black immediately landed on his body, sending him flying tens of miles away. He was instantly heavily wounded, with countless injuries appearing on his body, fresh blood gushing out brutally.
"Zhang Hongying, let’s go help."
Lin Chen said to Zhang Hongying.
At this moment, Lin Chen had to take action, or else after the man in black dealt with Wan Qiansan, it would be their turn next.
Although with the Little Profound Turtle around, Lin Chen was not afraid of the man in black before him, he didn’t want to expose the trump card of the Little Profound Turtle too early.
If he could avoid letting the Little Profound Turtle make a move, that would be best.
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhang Hongying immediately nodded and flew into battle with Lin Chen.
She also understood that if something happened to Wan Qiansan, the man in black would turn his sights on them.
Moreover, the Zhang Family and the Wan Family had always had a good relationship, she couldn’t just watch as Wan Qiansan was killed by the man in black.
Furthermore, she always felt that the matter wasn’t that simple, as the man in black kept targeting the Top Ten Heroes, there must be some conspiracy.
Seeing Zhang Hongying, one of the Top Ten Heroes, also join the battlefield, the face of the man in black drastically changed, showing a look of immense seriousness.
After all, the strength of the Top Ten Heroes still made him wary in his current state.
However, when Zhang Hongying and Lin Chen landed not far from him, he suddenly noticed that Zhang Hongying was not at her peak at the moment, her aura was somewhat weakened.
The man in black instantly understood that Zhang Hongying must have also used a Secret Technique that burned Essence Blood, causing backlash to her body.
Although his strength was also not at its peak now, dealing with the severely injured Wan Qiansan and the weakened Zhang Hongying, he still had some confidence.
As for Lin Chen, he was directly ignored by him.
Merely a Fifth level of the Nirvana realm cultivation, last time he nearly killed him with a punch.
If it hadn’t been for that place revealing the descendant of the ancient divine beast, how could Lin Chen still be alive now?
However, he had given Lin Chen a chance to live, and yet Lin Chen came to this place again. Though Lin Chen was undoubtedly talented, talent was talent, but strength is what matters now. Killing Lin Chen would be a breeze.
As Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying headed to the battlefield, Lin Chen specifically instructed Yang Minghui to take care of Yu Weilian, ensuring her safety, while leaving the Little Profound Turtle to protect Yu Weilian.
The man in black before them was not an ordinary martial artist, Lin Chen had to consider carefully. If they truly enraged the opponent, and he acted recklessly, it would be unfavorable for Yu Weilian. At that time, it would be hard for Lin Chen to protect her, so leaving the Little Profound Turtle as a backup plan was necessary.
The Little Profound Turtle found Lin Chen’s arrangement perplexing, feeling Lin Chen was overcomplicating things.
Just let it act, and it could slap this man in black to death with two strikes, and everything would be resolved.
However, if it made a move, it would consume energy and slow down the recovery of its strength.
Therefore, since Lin Chen didn’t let it act, it was willing to oblige.
Looking at the Little Profound Turtle in Yu Weilian’s hands, Yu Weilian felt puzzled as to why Lin Chen handed it to her, but knowing Lin Chen always had reasons for his actions, she didn’t ask more.
However, she recalled that day on the deck, Yang Minghui’s behavior, and thought the words hinted at this Little Profound Turtle.
Since that incident, Yu Weilian had not seen this Little Profound Turtle again.
She assumed Lin Chen had discarded it, but now that Lin Chen brought it out, it seemed he had placed it elsewhere before.
Yang Minghui also noticed the Little Profound Turtle Lin Chen handed to Yu Weilian, and upon seeing it, her expression changed, recalling the incident on the deck, she let out a light snort, evidently displeased with the Little Profound Turtle.
After all, if it hadn’t been for the Little Profound Turtle that day, such a big misunderstanding wouldn’t have arisen.
"What are you snorting about? That day’s mishap was clearly your own fault, what, are you trying to blame me?"
"Little Lady, drop that pretense."
Upon hearing Yang Minghui’s light snort, the Little Profound Turtle was instantly displeased. It wasn’t going to pamper anyone; how could it, the esteemed prince of the Profound Turtle Clan, act according to this woman’s mood, immediately retorting.
Hearing the Little Profound Turtle’s address towards herself, Yang Minghui was instantly dissatisfied.
However, even if she was displeased with the Little Profound Turtle’s address, she couldn’t react, because once she argued with the Little Profound Turtle, it would be tantamount to admitting her true female identity.
With Yang Ming by the side, Yang Minghui didn’t want to arouse suspicion, so she had to drop it.
Seeing Yang Minghui ignoring herself, the Little Profound Turtle immediately lost interest in arguing.
It found Yang Minghui quite odd; when facing Lin Chen, she wasn’t like this.
Held in Yu Weilian’s hands, the Little Profound Turtle was instantly displeased. How could it, an esteemed prince of the Turtle Clan, be gripped as if a mere Spiritual Beast?
Immediately, the Little Profound Turtle leaped to Yu Weilian’s shoulder.
This surprised Yu Weilian; when the Little Profound Turtle broke free from her hand, she was startled. The force it used to break free was so powerful, she couldn’t resist; that force was too strong, beyond what she could handle with her current cultivation.
Initially, Yu Weilian thought the Little Profound Turtle wanted to escape. If that were the case, she wouldn’t know how to explain it to Lin Chen. Fortunately, it just wanted to perch on her shoulder.
Regarding the Little Profound Turtle’s temperament, Yu Weilian found it somewhat similar to Lin Chen.
After Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying joined the fight, they immediately pulled Wan Qiansan out of the rubble first.
Looking at Wan Qiansan, his injuries were very severe, one could say he was in a semi-crippled state. At this moment, they couldn’t rely on Wan Qiansan to continue fighting.
"Swallow this, recover quickly, we’ll hold him off for now."
Lin Chen looked at Wan Qiansan and immediately threw an elixir to him.
Wan Qiansan caught the elixir handed by Lin Chen without the slightest hesitation and swallowed it straight away.
At this point, Wan Qiansan naturally wouldn’t entertain thoughts of Lin Chen poisoning him.
After all, if Lin Chen intended to take his life, in his current state, Lin Chen wouldn’t need to exert much effort to do so.
