Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252: Beyond Explanation
"Weilian, step back a bit, don’t get hurt."
Lin Chen looked at Yu Weilian behind him and said calmly.
"Be careful."
Though Yu Weilian believed in Lin Chen’s strength, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried at the moment and spoke up.
Immediately, facing the onrushing Lei Hao, Lin Chen swung a punch, colliding with him.
Boom——
The two fists collided, and powerful energy rippled outward in all directions.
However, the bodies of Lin Chen and Lei Hao each retreated in opposite directions.
Lin Chen only stepped back a short distance, after all, it’s difficult to avoid the force of recoil under such a powerful punch.
But Lei Hao did not retreat; he was sent flying by Lin Chen’s punch for dozens of miles, crashing into a mountain peak, instantly collapsing it.
After the dust settled, Lei Hao climbed out from the collapsed mountain peak.
"How is this possible!"
Lei Hao looked at Lin Chen, his eyes full of disbelief.
He simply couldn’t believe that Lin Chen possessed such tremendous power.
With his fists clenched, Lei Hao found it hard to accept this blow.
He was the Young Master of the Flying Crane Sect, whereas Lin Chen was merely a waste from that remote area of the Eastern Domain.
Moreover, Lin Chen’s cultivation was far inferior to his own, so how could Lin Chen possibly contend with him?
No, this was no longer a confrontation; it was Lin Chen completely overwhelming him.
"It must have been because I was careless that he found an opportunity, I was only using fifty percent of my strength just now."
"Boy, next time, you will die without a doubt."
Lei Hao wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and immediately a remarkable spirit sword appeared in his hand, as he launched another sword attack at Lin Chen.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen remained unfazed, and a sharp sword, a sixth rank magic artifact, appeared in his hand as well.
Immediately, Lin Chen slashed out, utilizing the powerful Thunderfire Sword Technique from his swordsmanship.
Shua——
This time, Lin Chen’s sword momentum clashed with Lei Hao’s sword wind, instantly annihilating the opponent’s sword moves, and simultaneously severing the sharp sword in Lei Hao’s hand. The sword light eventually struck Lei Hao’s body, releasing a mighty thunderfire sword intent that ravaged Lei Hao’s body.
"Ah..."
Lei Hao let out a miserable cry, as the sword in his hand was cut off in a duel, there was no longer any point in continuing to fight.
Moreover, at this moment, Lei Hao was severely injured, and the sword qi within him continued to destroy his body.
Seeing this, although Lei Hao didn’t want to admit it, he wasn’t foolish and realized he was no match for Lin Chen.
Taking advantage of Lin Chen’s moment of inattention, he hurriedly fled the place.
Watching Lei Hao indeed use a secret technique to escape, Lin Chen was unsurprised and did not pursue him.
After all, at present, Yu Weilian’s safety was the most important.
If he really cornered Lei Hao, who knows what desperate measures that guy might have up his sleeve to fight back at the cost of his life.
If that were the case, even if Lin Chen could ensure his own safety, he couldn’t guarantee Yu Weilian’s safety one hundred percent.
So, Lin Chen chose not to pursue but stayed to protect Yu Weilian.
Killing Lei Hao was just a matter of time, but there was no need to rush.
"Sister Yu, are you hurt?"
After Lei Hao fled, Lin Chen turned around and looked at Yu Weilian, inquiring worriedly.
However, when Lin Chen turned around, he saw that Yu Weilian was already brimming with tears and threw herself into Lin Chen’s arms.
Seeing this, Lin Chen was momentarily at a loss.
"Sister Yu, what’s wrong, are you hurt anywhere, let me see."
Lin Chen said worriedly.
However, Yu Weilian shook her head. Her excitement wasn’t because of an injury, but because from Lin Chen’s words, she got confirmation that she was his woman.
Lin Chen was still unsure and conducted a full-body checkup on Yu Weilian. Only after confirming she wasn’t injured did he let it go, and then took Yu Weilian to find others.
...
Inside a cave.
Under Yang Minghui’s meticulous care, four whole days passed before Zhang Hongying’s injuries showed significant improvement, and her cultivation gradually recovered.
Also, on the fourth day, Zhang Hongying regained consciousness.
"You finally woke up."
Yang Minghui looked at Zhang Hongying finally waking up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If such injuries happened to an ordinary person, they probably wouldn’t have survived.
Fortunately, Yang Minghui had the elixirs given by Lin Chen, which saved Zhang Hongying’s life.
The injuries on Zhang Hongying’s body had all been cleaned and bandaged by Yang Minghui.
Zhang Hongying’s wounds were slowly healing.
Looking at the injuries all over her body that had been cleaned and bandaged, Zhang Hongying didn’t expect to survive.
At the same time, her cheeks blushed.
Though she had some fondness and affection for Yang Minghui, it was the first time a man had touched her so closely, naturally making her shy.
However, she was glad it was Yang Minghui, otherwise, at the moment of waking, she might have immediately fought the other person to the death.
Seeing Zhang Hongying’s blushing face, Yang Minghui suddenly realized that when treating Zhang Hongying’s wounds, inappropriate places had also been touched.
Because Yang Minghui was actually a woman, at that urgent moment, focusing on treatment took precedence, Yang Minghui hadn’t given it much thought.
Who knew it would lead to the embarrassing situation before them.
Seeing Zhang Hongying’s blushing face, Yang Minghui ultimately chose to hide her female identity.
After all, to Zhang Hongying, Yang Minghui wasn’t even considered a friend, and even if misunderstandings were caused, she didn’t want to risk exposing her secret.
Though Lin Chen and Yu Weilian already knew her secret, in Yang Minghui’s heart, these two were different.
"Miss Zhang, you were seriously injured before, your life was hanging by a thread, and in desperation, I had to..."
Yang Minghui looked at Zhang Hongying and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongying’s cheeks turned even redder, she immediately lowered her head, nodding like a pecking chick.
"I understand!"
Zhang Hongying said, figuring internally that since the one who touched her was Yang Minghui, she’d just let it be.
Yang Minghui saw this and knew the other person misunderstood, but didn’t plan to explain further.
Just then, the two suddenly sensed two auras approaching from outside the cave.
"Young Master Yang, if they come with ill intentions, I will hold them off, you must escape immediately."
