Chapter 686: Prologue to the War

Night gradually descended on the Empty Mountain.

Airplanes!

The moment the distant sunset touched the edge of the Western Mountain Range, an extremely strong vibration suddenly came from the secret room of the Empty Mountain, and this vibration had spread throughout the entire Empty Mountain in a short period of time.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were already focused on the direction of the secret room.

Inside the dungeon, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Old man, when the opportunity comes, I will leave first, boy."

There was an indescribable firmness in the gentle voice, and the old man in the corner did not reply, but the look of appreciation in his cloudy eyes flashed away.

"Whew."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Chen had already packed up all his things, and the rusty long sword had been hidden by him, and he got up and came to the door of the cell.

There was a sound of footsteps in the darkness ahead, it was the bandits of the Empty Mountain who had come here to deliver food.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lin Chen's heart was beating faster.

Since half a month ago, his strength was drained cleanly, and the tendons of his hands and feet have been broken, and this is the first battle he is about to face.

The heart that had been calm for a long time became excited again, and Lin Chen knew that the desire to fight, which had disappeared for a long time, had begun to burn the blood in his body.

The blood in his body was boiling, and the murderous intent in his eyes was getting thicker.

The bandits in front had already walked over, and when they saw Lin Chen standing at the door of the cell, they immediately snorted coldly and said, "It's not easy to stand up." ”

"But what are you waiting here for?"

"Got out of the cell?"

"If you want to be beautiful, you think it's all you ......"

Without waiting for the bandit to finish speaking, Lin Chen suddenly grabbed the bandit's neck directly, and pulled him in front of him with force, and the long sword had already appeared when his right hand was stretched out.

Poof!

There was not the slightest stagnation, and even though the sword was rusty and mottled, it was still sharp.

It didn't take much force at all, and the long sword had already pierced the heart of the bandit in front of him.

Lin Chen's left hand pinched his neck, so that he couldn't make even the slightest sound, and his strength was getting weaker and weaker as he kept struggling, and in the end, he fell heavily like mud at the door of the cell.

In the body of this bandit, Lin Chen found the key to open the cell.

There weren't many guards here, so even if there was a huge commotion here, it wouldn't be able to attract the slightest attention.

Smoothly opening the cell door, Lin Chen turned his head to look at the old man and said, "Old man, are you really not leaving with me?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Boy, you still have things you have to do, don't worry about me, an old man." ”

"Go, wait for you in hell in a hundred years."

"When the time comes, don't forget that you still owe me a drink."

Lin Chen put away the blood-stained sword and bowed deeply to the old man.

"Today's grace, this life will never forget."

"Old man, I will definitely leave here, you, but what unfulfilled wishes do you have?"

The old man's eyes flashed with a look of reminiscence, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity to go to Jiuli, remember to help me find someone, that person has three moles on the center of his eyebrows, and after seeing him, you tell him for me that if virtue is not worthy, there will be disaster." ”

"Go ahead."

The old man waved his hand and closed his eyes.

Lin Chen secretly memorized this sentence, and finally bowed deeply at the old man, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

He didn't notice that the moment he turned around, the old man's figure gradually became illusory, and in the end, it had disappeared, leaving only a pale cyan fragment of clothing in its place.

After leaving the cell, Lin Chen quickly rushed in the direction of the exit.

Although he could only stay in the cell for half a month, he already knew everything about this dungeon, and he had already squeezed in his mind where there were guards and where it was safer.

Coming to the end of the road, he hid behind the wall, his eyes fixed on the front.

The two men standing there were the only guards in the dungeon, and they didn't notice it, they just yawned and said something inconsequential.

In fact, he had already thought of a way out for himself in the cell, and now although his appearance has changed, according to the style of the Ethereal Pavilion, if he is found, he will definitely be rescued.

After all, his previous identity was still too public, so he planned to disguise it, but no matter what, as long as he could meet the people of the Ethereal Pavilion, he would be considered a success.

But before that, it's somewhat dangerous.

The two enemies in front of him were not very strong, they were just a realm martial artist, but for Lin Chen, they were also absolute rivals.

One of them could be solved by assassination, but the other would have to take a lot of work.

Being in the corner, Lin Chen adjusted his state to the best, hid the long sword, and took a deep breath and walked out of the corner directly.

The dungeon was dark, and the two of them couldn't see Lin Chen's appearance clearly at all, and they could only see a vague figure walking towards this side from a distance.

Instinctively thought that he was the bandit who had just gone to deliver food, so naturally he didn't think much about it.

However, after the distance between Lin Chen and them gradually got closer, the two of them sensed that something was wrong.

Although the strength is not strong, but I still have some understanding of the breath of the people on my side.

The one who came here had the wrong breath.

"You!"

Without waiting for this sentence to be finished, Lin Chen, who had already come to the front of the two of them, suddenly moved, twisted his body and grabbed the neck of the relatively strong person on the right, and stepped forward in a staggered step, and the long sword in his hand immediately stabbed out.

Poof!

The moment the blood splashed, Lin Chen's body was elegant, and he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Thump.

Seeing their companion fall to the ground, the remaining guards stared wide-eyed, and then became extremely angry.

"Look for death!"

He directly took out his weapon and quickly rushed in the direction where Lin Chen disappeared.

Sou!

In the sound of breaking through the air, the man's speed was very fast, and he had already come to the place where Lin Chen had just disappeared in just a few breaths.

But there was no trace of Lin Chen here.

The doubts in his eyes flashed, and before he could react, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky behind him.

His face changed, and he suddenly turned around and kicked him.

Rumble!

The power of that kick was huge, and although Lin Chen's reflexes were sufficient, his body speed couldn't keep up at all.

He simply did not choose to retreat, and stepped forward directly.

At the same time as the enemy's kick landed on his lower abdomen, the inverted sword stabbed downward.

Poof!

"Whew!"

Even though the rusty but still sharp and hard long sword directly pierced the bandit's thigh, and Lin Chen's hand holding the long sword never let go at all, with the help of the huge power brought by the bandit's foot retreated, the sword that penetrated the bandit's thigh left a more hideous scar on the bandit's thigh, and at the same time as the long sword was pulled out, the bandit's thigh had been completely abolished.

The sharp pain caused the bandit to fall to the ground, and Lin Chen moved forward again after a simple breath.

The bandit screamed, struggled to his feet, and swung his weapon violently.

"Kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

The huge axe swung with a terrifying sound, and the whistling power flickered with a strong chill.

With his strong perception and judgment, Lin Chen had already seen the rhythm of the bandit's attack while rushing forward, and dodged to the bandit's side while the axe in the bandit's hand fell, and the long sword in his hand stabbed the bandit under the ribs.

Poof!

The strength was not great, but with the sharpness of the long sword, it directly pierced the body of the bandit, and Lin Chen's eyes flashed with coldness, and he swept violently with the sword in both hands.

Poof!

The body was torn apart, and the blood dripping made the bandit completely lose the strength to fight, and the moment he fell to the ground, his eyes were huge, and the vitality on his body was constantly disappearing.

To his death, he couldn't believe that he had been killed by a wasted man.

"Whew, whew."

Looking at the bandit who fell to the ground, Lin Chen gasped violently several times before wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth.

This body was still too weak after all, and if it weren't for the rusty sword in his hand, I am afraid that it would have taken a lot of effort for him to kill this bandit.

His eyes fell on the long sword in his hand, and he found that after drinking the blood, there seemed to be less rust on it, but it was still mottled with rust.

After this battle, Lin Chen felt that this long sword was even more extraordinary.

It stands to reason that it has been eroded by rust and has long lost its sharpness, but just now he clearly felt that this long sword was definitely much sharper than ordinary weapons.

I'm afraid that even compared to the weapons that have been carefully crafted and refined by top craftsmen, they are not far behind.

"It's kind of interesting."

It took a long time to regain some strength, and then his eyes fell on the table beside him.

There were also some dishes sent by the guards on it, which happened to be what Lin Chen urgently needed now, since he started to exercise with the method that the old man had taught him, he found that his appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of food could even be described as terrifying, and he was hungry very quickly.

Now that the crisis is temporarily resolved, no one will appear in this dungeon for a short time, so they simply rushed over and ate the food.

"Whew."

With a long sigh of relief, feeling that his strength had been fully restored, he walked out of the dungeon.

This dungeon is very remote, and it is impossible for anyone to approach it under normal circumstances, which also gives Lin Chen a good opportunity.

After leaving the dungeon, his eyes fell on the front, and now the battle between the Ethereal Pavilion and the Empty Mountain had not really started, but in his opinion, it should be this time.

Rumble!

As Lin Chen expected, just as his thoughts fell, there was a deafening and violent sound in the distance, between the terrifying sound waves, there was a violent wind howling in front of him, and the wild aura turned into a rushing whirlpool between breaths, and the pervasive killing machine surrounded the entire Empty Mountain in a moment.
