When he saw his own attack actually get shattered by Lin Chen, the hook-nosed man instantly showed a horrified, utterly incredulous expression.
"How is this possible?!"
Although he had vaguely anticipated sothing, seeing Lin Chen really use his own strength to break apart the powerful strike he was most proud of still sent a wave of extre shock surging through the hook-nosed man's heart!
At this mont, Lin Chen's sword cleaved that ice-blue hand seal apart, streams of chaotic Divine Power shooting in all directions. The hand seal rapidly collapsed in midair, fading into nothingness.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, his hand movents shifted, and lightning flashed beneath his feet as he shot straight at the hook-nosed man once again!
"What?! You're courting death!!"
Seeing that Lin Chen actually dared to take the initiative to attack him, the hook-nosed man was imdiately infuriated. He even forgot the fact that Lin Chen had just dismantled his attack, Divine Power coiling around both his hands as he prepared to strike!
Right then, a cold smile also appeared at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth. The Tianyan Ancient Sword in his hand erupted once more with streaks of Sword Qi divine radiance, and that dark-golden Sword Qi surfaced again!
"Tianyan Nine Forms! Sword Break!"
By now Lin Chen had fully entered his battle state. With a cultivation of ninth-level Divine Practitioner, he was able to wield it perfectly. The Sword Break he unleashed this ti seed even more powerful than before.
The hook-nosed man felt the power contained in Lin Chen's attack and finally reacted. Lin Chen's realm might be a bit lower, but his strength was in no way inferior!
But now the arrow was nocked, and he had no choice but to release it!
Divine Power spiraled around the hook-nosed man's hands, then condensed once again into one ice cone after another, each about a foot long, all ford from dense Divine Power. There were many of them—roughly counted, at least several dozen!
If so many Divine Power ice cones attacked at once, an ordinary first-level God Realm expert really might not be able to cope!
Unfortunately, the person he was facing was Lin Chen!
Seeing his attack, a cold smile tugged at Lin Chen's lips.
This kind of group attack might still pose so threat to others, enough to catch them off guard and maybe reap so unexpected results, but to Lin Chen it was nothing more than a trivial little trick!
Lin Chen charged forward without the slightest hesitation, as if he wasn't worried at all about those sharp, cold-light–gleaming ice cones landing on his body!
Then, at the instant he neared the ice cones, the Tianyan Ancient Sword in his hand swept out horizontally!
A broad, half-moon–shaped dark-golden Sword Qi instantly roared forth! It carried the feel of a raging storm, shifting from sheer speed into sheer ferocity and sharpness!
Under this Sword Qi, those ice cones seed to encounter their natural nesis; they practically didn't even manage to block as they were swept aside outright, turning into dissipating Divine Power and vanishing in the void!
And that massive dark-golden Sword Qi did not slow; it continued straight toward the hook-nosed man!
"No!"
The hook-nosed man's face twisted with terror; by now, he was truly panicked!
Earlier, he had scoffed at the reports about Lin Chen's combat strength, thinking they were exaggerations. But now it seed they were not only not exaggerated—they had actually underestimated Lin Chen's power!
This kind of near-crushing suppression was sothing even so second-level God Realm experts might not be able to pull off, right?
But the hook-nosed man had no ti to worry about that. He unleashed all of his Divine Power at once, sending out all kinds of attacks. Yet these hurried strikes did nothing to affect the incoming edge-laden Sword Qi!
Finally, that dark-golden Sword Qi slamd heavily into the hook-nosed man. He hastily condensed a thick-looking ice-crystal shield, but under the violent dark-golden Sword Qi, it lasted barely an instant before thick cracks spread across it like a spiderweb!
Horror flashed across the hook-nosed man's face. He felt a huge force crash into his hands, and his entire body was sent flying uncontrollably!
By now, the dark-golden Sword Qi was gradually dissipating, but it still turned into a beam of golden light that completely shattered the shield. With that strike, the hook-nosed man also suffered internal injuries, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood in midair!
Lin Chen watched him slam heavily into the dense forest not far away. Just as he was about to move in and end his life, his brows suddenly furrowed and he looked off into the distance!
Although no one had arrived yet, Lin Chen's Divine Sense had already detected many people rushing toward this place, and from more than one direction!
"No ti to drag this out. Better leave first!"
Lin Chen could only feel helpless at the hook-nosed man's good luck, but he had to leave right now. If he got caught in a pincer attack, there would be nothing he could do!
After settling his Divine Power, lightning flashed beneath Lin Chen's feet and he darted into the dense forest without hesitation, leaving this place behind!
Not long after Lin Chen left, several squads arrived one after another. Among them was also the rcenary squad led by Fan Li. They quickly discovered the heavily injured hook-nosed man and the rcenary hiding off to the side, so frightened he couldn't even speak.
From the hook-nosed man's broken, halting account, they quickly understood what had happened. Once the rcenary regained his wits, he also pointed out the direction Lin Chen had taken when he left.
But the mountain range was enormous, and Lin Chen had already been gone for a while. Besides, they knew sothing of Lin Chen's speed, and realized that this chance to capture him had probably slipped through their fingers yet again.
Fan Li stared in the direction Lin Chen had left, a vicious look on his face, then barked in a low voice:
"Quit dawdling! After him! Check for traces he left along the way. We've got numbers—I refuse to believe he won't need to rest!"
"Yes, young master!"
With Fan Li giving the order, the others could only obey. One squad after another set off, heading in the direction Lin Chen had escaped to pursue him.
Fan Li narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"I'll have the whole mountain range sealed off! We'll search it inch by inch! I refuse to believe you won't show yourself!"
With that, Fan Li also led his own squad away quickly in another direction.
Roughly half a day later, at the base of a cliff, a sizable waterfall thundered down with a deafening roar.
