Chapter 1261: Chapter 1261: Joining Forces for a Beating
Lin Chen watched Wan Qiansan’s actions, slightly surprised. If it were a normal martial artist, they would most likely take a closer look at the elixir before deciding whether to use it.
But Wan Qiansan swallowed it directly.
This person without pretensions is worth befriending, Lin Chen thought.
As Wan Qiansan ingested the elixir, a gentle force instantly spread through his meridians, nourishing them throughout his entire body.
In just a few blinks, Wan Qiansan’s injuries seemed to be half healed, and not only the outer wounds healed, but also the internal ones.
Wan Qiansan was pleasantly surprised, looking at Lin Chen with a gaze full of curiosity. He had never heard of Lin Chen before; the elixir Lin Chen gave him must be extremely precious.
Even the most precious elixir of their Wan Family could not compare with it.
Wan Qiansan couldn’t help but wonder what kind of person this young man was, to have such a precious elixir and handed it over so straightforwardly.
From afar, the man in black stared at Wan Qiansan, seeing his injuries and spiritual power gradually recover, his face turned ugly.
Although the man in black severely injured Wan Qiansan earlier, his own spiritual power was also greatly depleted. If Wan Qiansan were to recover now, dealing with the siege of the three would leave the man in black struggling to cope.
Swoosh—
Seeing this, the man in black no longer held back his strength, his figure transformed into a beam of light, immediately charging at Zhang Hongying and the others.
"Such fast speed!"
Zhang Hongying’s expression changed drastically as she saw the man in black charging at her. She gathered spiritual power in her sharp sword and slashed out, a frost aura enveloping the man in black.
As Cold Ice Sword Qi was unleashed, simultaneously emitting cold air that formed an Ice Shield, protecting Zhang Hongying, Lin Chen, and Wan Qiansan.
"A mere Cold Ice Sword Qi can’t stop me."
The man in black showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but quickly revealed disdain. Zhang Hongying’s methods were already known to him from previous intelligence, so he had countermeasures ready.
Buzz—
A sudden burst of fire appeared on the man’s fist, punching at Zhang Hongying’s Sword Qi and shield.
The powerful fist wind dissolved Zhang Hongying’s Cold Ice Sword Qi in a few moments, while the fist landed on the Ice Shield, which emitted a "crack" sound, producing countless cracks under the fist wind of the man in black.
Under the assault of the man in black, the Ice Shield began to fracture, seemingly on the verge of shattering completely.
Seeing this, Lin Chen’s eyes squinted slightly and he looked fiercely at the man in black, his eyes suddenly flashing with a golden light.
The man in black was about to shatter the Ice Shield, planning to quickly kill one of Lin Chen’s group.
Suddenly, he felt a mysterious pain piercing deep into his divine soul.
"This... it’s a soul attack!"
The man in black immediately realized the gravity of the situation, for he had suffered a soul attack. Soul attacks are elusive, difficult to detect, and some have died from such attacks without knowing what happened.
Among skilled opponents, such attacks targeting the divine soul can be crucial, exploiting even the slightest opening for a decisive victory.
However, the man in black’s Soul Power was far beyond the ordinary, and despite suffering a soul attack, he regained clarity quickly.
Yet, just as he regained consciousness, he felt an immensely powerful force striking his chest.
Roar—
A dragon’s roar echoed through the valley as Lin Chen’s Divine Dragon Fist struck the man in black, sending him flying.
Just as the man in black was about to shatter the Ice Shield formed by Zhang Hongying, Lin Chen seized the moment, deploying the Soul Capture Technique against him.
Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Lin Chen immediately used Divine Dragon Fist to punch the man in black, hitting him square in the chest.
In reality, Lin Chen could have used the Soul Capture Technique to inflict greater damage to the man’s divine soul, such as using the Soul Shatter Cone when unprepared, but that would deplete Lin Chen’s Soul Power completely.
Such an act would place Lin Chen in an extremely perilous situation instead.
Yet, even without relying on the Soul Shatter Cone, Lin Chen’s Soul Power remained formidable.
Lin Chen’s Soul Capture Technique was enough to disrupt the man in black’s divine soul temporarily, creating an opportunity for Lin Chen to unleash the Divine Dragon Fist.
As Lin Chen’s Divine Dragon Fist sent the man in black flying, Zhang Hongying also coordinated skillfully, noticing the impact on the man’s divine soul, and immediately swung her sharp sword, unleashing Cold Ice Sword Qi upon him, quickly forming ice to freeze him.
"A mere Power of Cold Ice, thinking to trap me? What a delusion!"
The man in black sneered, promptly causing a burst of fire to explode from his body, breaking through the ice.
Yet, just as he shattered the ice layer, another mighty dragon roar sounded, as Lin Chen struck him again.
Pfft—
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from the man in black’s mouth, his body slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
"Damn it!"
The man in black was furious, barely believing that he, a dignified Creation Realm Expert, was being beaten and injured by a mere Fifth level of the Nirvana Realm. His heart was filled with anger, yet he felt helpless. Losing the initiative, he had been repeatedly attacked by Zhang Hongying and Lin Chen, leaving him unable to counter in any way.
As Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying attacked him together, Zhang Hongying’s Chilling Sword Intent invaded his body, causing his fresh blood to start freezing.
His body stiffened, and his internal spiritual power began to circulate slowly, coupled with Lin Chen’s relentless terrifying fist techniques; the man in black’s body was nearing its limit.
Fortunately, he was not a typical Creation Realm Expert; his spiritual power and physique were far greater than those of ordinary martial artists. If it were a normal Creation Realm martial artist, they would have been long dead under the joint attack of the two.
"You bastards truly cornered me into this state; you’re forcing my hand."
"Today, none of you should think about leaving alive."
