Chapter 118: The Old Man Surnamed Zhan Zhu (Five Thousand Chapters)
()
Liu An and the old man surnamed Zhu looked at the several corpses lying in front of them with pale faces, their ugly faces looked extremely hideous under the light of the torches.
"Captain, this is the eighth brother to die for no reason, we have examined their heads, and we have found no fatal wounds, not even near the place where they were found, no signs of battle"
One of Liu An's subordinates said with some horror, and fear appeared on his face.
This can't be blamed on them, after all, Lin Chen's assassination method is too unbelievable for them, they can take people's lives silently, and it is difficult for them to find out.
All this is an unknown way of death for them, and it is this unknown that makes it even more terrifying, because no one knows when and in what way they will die here.
"Okay, okay, no wonder your Zhu family wants to get rid of this son as soon as possible", Liu An looked at the corpse in front of him and said to the old man surnamed Zhu beside him.
"This son actually has such an unpredictable killing method, coupled with his talent that is inferior to even geniuses, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, your Zhu family will really have trouble sleeping."
The old man surnamed Zhu had always thought that Lin Chen could have such achievements, and all he relied on was the support of the Ye family and the Qi family, so from the bottom of his heart, he just thought that Lin Chen was only a temporary lucky person at most.
But now after experiencing it for myself, I realize that these are just wishful thinking on his own, everything Lin Chen has done is relied on, and all his potential is based on his own strength.
After thinking about this, the old man surnamed Zhu also began to regret in his heart, if he could take this action seriously and follow Liu An's method, I am afraid that this mission would have ended perfectly.
"I have to say, this kid is really bold, ordinary people may have already looked for an opportunity to escape in the face of this situation, but he did the opposite, and actually thought about dealing with our people, you can tell me what to do", the old man surnamed Zhu also said angrily to Liu An.
"We all know by now that this son clearly has a way of evading our tracking, and is very good at operating at night."
Faced with the old man's inquiry, Liu An also fell into deep thought, and began to think about the next countermeasures.
"As long as we can track his traces and drag the time until dawn, then his advantage will naturally be lost, and it will be time for us to take action."
Thinking about the key to dealing with Lin Chen, Liu An was even more excited and began to make new arrangements for his subordinates.
In the dark woods, Lin Chen's figure gradually emerged, and with his right hand, he took out the silver needle in the body of the corpse on the ground, and couldn't help frowning and looking in other directions.
With Lin Chen's killing, there were no less than twenty pursuers who died in his hands, which was already close to half of the number of this group of pursuers, and Lin Chen, who had achieved such an achievement, should also be happy.
However, things are still not optimistic, because as he continues to attack, he also gradually discovers that the people who are now looking for him have changed from one person to three people, and the distance between their teams is relatively close.
As a result, there were fewer and fewer opportunities for him to find a lone person to attack, and since the cultivation of each three-person team was different, it was difficult for Lin Chen to kill them quietly.
So what Lin Chen can do now is to try his best to find three people with similar cultivation to attack, even if he can't kill with one blow and alarm the others, he can also end the battle within a quarter of an hour before the others arrive.
Lin Chen, who had made up his mind, continued to hide his aura, walking more carefully in the woods, and every time he approached a team of three, he would carefully sense the aura on their bodies.
After three or four times like this, Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he felt the aura of the three people who appeared in front of him, and began to gradually approach them.
Still as before, three tiny silver needles appeared in the back of the hearts of the three of them, and instantly submerged into their hearts.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had no vitality on their bodies, and the aura on the remaining one was also weakening, and in the end they died standing up, although it was strange why he didn't fall, but Lin Chen still showed his trace later.
It's just that just as he was about to step forward to collect the silver needle, his eyes suddenly glanced at the back of the heart of the last person standing dead, but he vaguely saw a silver needle that was blocked out of the skin.
Without any hesitation, Lin Chen directly burst out with an extremely fast speed, retreating directly in the direction behind him, and at the same time, when he passed a tree, the sword light in his hand waved, and his toes kicked towards the severed tree trunk, and then retreated at a faster speed.
"Boy, since you're here, don't think about running away, let's just tie up and become my ghost."
The only person standing turned around and shouted at Lin Chen the moment Lin Chen retreated, and the cultivation of the Innate Realm suddenly erupted on his body, and his tone did not hide his joy.
And after feeling this cultivation and hearing this person's voice, Lin Chen, who had already guessed, sank in his heart, and his face was a little ugly.
But soon his face changed, and his retreating body suddenly leaned back slightly, narrowly dodging the silver needle that appeared in front of his eyebrows, and then the faint light on the long sword flickered, and the palm of the man in front of his chest blocked it.
The trees he had cut down to keep the man in his hands had turned into splinters of wood scattered on the ground under his palm.
Just in the face of this palm with the intent of killing, Lin Chen's long sword only lasted for a moment, and was destroyed by the power contained in this palm, and was broken into several pieces of different lengths.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's face changed drastically, his hands were crossed in front of him in an instant, and his body bowed back slightly, making a very suitable action for unloading, and he also wanted to use the remaining power in the palm of the person to send his body back.
However, the power in the palm of the person who came suddenly changed, and he headed towards the long sword fragments scattered between the two of them, and the long sword fragments were also attracted by him one after another, and finally went towards Lin Chen's body like a rain of light.
Looking at the fragments of the long sword carrying the innate power, Lin Chen also gritted his teeth, and clicked several times on the ground under his feet, and then his body began to move continuously, dodging most of the fragments of the long sword that were heading towards the fatal part one by one.
After the last flash, a few meters away from the place where the two were fighting, Lin Chen's somewhat stumbling figure appeared, and his eyes were unusually solemn as he looked at the person who was fighting with him.
At this time, Lin Chen was very embarrassed, the clothes on his body were torn by the palm wind and the fragments of the long sword, and the long hair that was originally tied up was also a little loose, and there was blood spilling out at the corners of his mouth.
"It's you, so that's the case, hiding your cultivation and letting me show up for assassination, so that it will be difficult for me to hide myself anymore"
Seeing clearly the person who was fighting with him, a look of surprise appeared on Lin Chen's somewhat pale face, and he exclaimed in surprise.
This person is none other than the old man surnamed Zhu sent by the Zhu family to hunt down and kill Lin Chen.
"Boy, I have already figured out your modus operandi, in order to successfully leave you behind, I also deliberately hid my cultivation and mixed it in, as I expected, I didn't expect you to be fooled so soon", the old man surnamed Zhu looked at Lin Chen, who was holding his chest with his hands, and said with hatred.
"I didn't expect that after I killed so many of your subordinates, you found out my methods, and what I didn't expect was that you didn't hesitate to risk your life in order to catch me, aren't you afraid that those people before me deliberately showed weakness to lure you into the bait?", Lin Chen looked at the old man surnamed Zhu who was standing not far in front of him and spoke, his words full of mockery.
But while he was talking to the old man surnamed Zhu, he was also paying close attention to the movements in other directions, and when he saw many fires and their shouts coming over, his heart was also tight.
But he soon found that it would take a lot of time for them to come over, especially Liu An, who was the farthest away from the two, and it took even longer.
"But it turns out that I'm right, isn't it, your methods are okay to deal with those of their acquired realm, but they are of no use to the cultivators of the innate realm, so you say, what should I do to you next?"
The old man surnamed Zhu had already suffered several losses from Lin Chen's hands, so after saying this, he didn't give Lin Chen extra time to react, and directly burst out of his early stage of cultivation and rushed towards Lin Chen, intending to leave Lin Chen alone.
Although he saw Lin Chen's battle against the two Zhu Tong brothers in the intelligence, and he was tricked by Lin Chen many times to escape from his eyes, he still didn't believe in one thing, that is, Lin Chen's ability to defeat two people with the Acquired Sixfold Cultivation head-on.
After all, in addition to the fact that the acquired sevenfold does not have the coercion of the realm and can only exert the power of one or two layers of innate martial arts, it is not much different from the cultivators in the early stage of innate qi in terms of the amount of true qi.
Especially for the younger generation cultivated by these families, whether it is the quality of cultivation or the degree of cultivation of cultivation, it is much stronger than other small families.
And this has caused their true strength to far surpass the children of other cities, and they can even crush them effortlessly.
What's more, it was two acquired seven-fold cultivators who knew each other very well in terms of cooperation, tacit understanding, and fighting methods, and even if he encountered it, he could only rely on the coercion of the innate realm and the advantage of martial arts to draw with the battle.
Even if Zhu Tong and the others were injured, the strength they could exert was not something that a mere person who had cultivated six times after tomorrow could defeat him.
And this is the reason why he has the confidence to leave Lin Chen behind alone.
Facing the oncoming attack of the old man surnamed Zhu, Lin Chen also had to retract his attention to the surroundings, and a long sword appeared in his hand again, his face was solemn, but there was a light in his eyes that had never been before.
In just a few breaths, the two of them have collided with each other more than twenty times, and your attacks back and forth are more than thirty.
Lin Chen swung several sword qi at the old man surnamed Zhu many times, hoping to exert some effect, but he was blocked by his hands wrapped in true qi.
The sword qi that changed the trajectory hit the trees around the two of them, and these trees were also cut off by the sword qi, and the entire section was smooth and flat, without any unevenness.
Lin Chen looked at the hands of the old man surnamed Zhu wrapped in true qi, and then found that on his pair of fleshy palms, there were all kinds of scars and calluses of different sizes, and his heart moved slightly, it was obvious that the old man's kung fu was on his hands, and it was no wonder that he could block his sword qi.
The battle between the two became more intense, and as time passed, the face of the old man surnamed Zhu also appeared solemn, and on the other hand, Lin Chen, the eyes hidden under his hair were more radiant, as hot as the sun.
This is the first time that Lin Chen has fought against a person in the early stage of the innate stage in the realm of the sixfold peak of the Houtian Dynasty, although he suffered a big loss from the old man surnamed Zhu before being caught off guard.
But now just at the moment of fighting, he realized that the gap between them was not very big, but at the same time, he was secretly alerting himself not to underestimate anyone in the world.
And as the battle continued, he was more aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
Perhaps because of the effect of the nameless mantra, his true qi is now superior to that of cultivators of the same realm in terms of quality, and even the ordinary acquired sevenfold cannot be compared to it, so he can compete with it for a while.
And wherever they fought, the dirt was scattered in all directions, and the grass and trees couldn't help but be struck, and they were all broken and swept away by the battle between the two.
So much so that in the end, all the weeds and trees within 20 meters of the two of them were emptied, thus forming an open space.
Such a huge movement was naturally discovered by people farther away, and after noticing that there was a battle here, they also began to surround this place at a faster speed.
"Originally, I thought that the records in the intelligence were exaggerated, and you were just an ant who could only play tricks under me", the old man surnamed Zhu said lightly, and slapped Lin Chen again.
"Oh, then why can't you even take the ants in your mouth, does this mean that you are even worse than the ants", Lin Chen paid close attention to every attack of the old man surnamed Zhu very attentively, and did not forget to hit him back while blocking it.
"Boy, I have to say that your talent and strength are indeed beyond our expectations, just what you are showing now, I am afraid that only Cheng Wanqing, the eldest lady of the Cheng family, can do this level at such an age like you."
The old man surnamed Zhu actually praised Lin Chen in a rare way, but then his body moved, he got out of the fight between the two, and took a few steps behind him.
Seeing this, Lin Chen also stopped, and looked at the old man surnamed Zhu who was standing far away from him.
"If it's the praise of other seniors, the kid can accept it, but don't want your words, when I think of being praised by a pig, I can't help but be disgusted"
Regarding Lin Chen's tongue, the old man surnamed Zhu just smiled indifferently, and didn't care about Lin Chen's ridicule, but instead got up a little pity and looked at Lin Chendao, who was already wearing a coat.
"It's just a pity, if a talented teenager like you can grow up smoothly, it won't take ten years, and my Zhu family can only rely on you to survive, but you have been completely offended by my Zhu family, so I have to kill in order to prevent this situation from happening."
Lin Chen had been paying attention to every move of the old man surnamed Zhu, and his face changed greatly after hearing him say this, and he felt a real threat of death from the old man surnamed Zhu, and without any hesitation, he showed his wind step, and burst out of his current fastest speed, heading towards the open space on the side.
Only a "boom" was heard, and the place where Lin Chen was originally standing was full of smoke and dust, and it was not until a few breaths later that Lin Chen saw the situation there.
A huge palm print nearly ten centimeters deep appeared there, and there was still a trace of terrifying innate power on the outline of the palm print, and countless cracks were also all around the palm print.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen was afraid for a while, cold sweat instantly spread all over his body, and there was a trace of panic on his sweat-soaked face.
If your reaction speed is half a minute slower, under this palm, you will not have any accidents except for death.
Looking at the old man surnamed Zhu who was a little surprised by Lin Chen's speed not far away, his right palm was facing the giant pit of palm prints, and it exuded the same innate power as on the palm print.
"Oh, I didn't expect your speed to be so fast under the full force of the explosion, and the reaction speed is even better, and you can actually dodge the first palm of my Zhu family's thirteen palms, which is very good.
But this is just delaying your death, and there will be no other changes, so can you still dodge the next palm", the old man surnamed Zhu spoke again.
Immediately, a huge innate coercion began to emanate from his body, and without any warning, it shrouded Lin Chen's surroundings within three meters, so that Lin Chen didn't have time to react at all.
And feeling this innate coercion coming towards him, Lin Chen seemed to have thought of something, his face changed even more, and the true qi in his body was running at an extremely fast speed, and he wanted to use the wind step again to move towards other places.
But soon he was horrified to find that this innate coercion had already enveloped him when he just reacted, imprisoning him in place, and his body could not move at all.
"Okay, Lin Chen, I've been tossed by you for so long, it's time for me to send you on the road, don't worry, your sister is still around here if she wants to, I will also find her, I still know about cutting grass and eradicating roots, and I am very good at it, I believe that on Huangquan Road, you won't feel lonely, remember my name, the one who killed you, Zhu Shan, the elder of the Zhu family"
Zhu Shan's voice sounded again, the light on his palm was even better than before, after accumulating to an extreme, he gently pushed forward, and a huge palm of true qi appeared, and at an extremely fast speed, it went towards the immobile Lin Chen.
