Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: Withstanding the Blow
"Lin Chen, I’m here to help you."
Yang Minghui took Yu Weilian to a distance and saw that Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying couldn’t gain the upper hand, only locked in a stalemate with Liu Yong. She immediately shouted, ready to leap forward to join the battle and assist Lin Chen.
"Don’t come over. With your strength, you might just cause confusion. Take care of Sister Yu and make sure she doesn’t get caught in the conflict."
Seeing Yang Minghui also wanted to join the battle, Lin Chen immediately shouted to stop her.
Upon hearing this, Yang Minghui’s expression froze, feeling displeased. What did he mean her joining would just add chaos? She wasn’t that weak. Who did this guy look down on?
Yang Minghui never expected that as the esteemed Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the Heavenly Pride of Tian Que City, she would be despised by someone.
With her strength, though slightly inferior to the Top Ten Heroes of Yunlong City, she wasn’t far behind.
While she couldn’t guarantee victory, she could certainly hold the enemy at bay.
But at this moment, the three of them joining forces, she didn’t believe they couldn’t take down Liu Yong.
However, despite her anger after hearing Lin Chen’s words, Yang Minghui ultimately refrained from rushing into the battlefield. After all, as Lin Chen said, protecting Yu Weilian and ensuring her safety was most important.
What Yang Minghui didn’t know was that Lin Chen belittled her on purpose.
After all, Yu Weilian’s combat power couldn’t compare to others, and Lin Chen was naturally very concerned about her safety.
If Yang Minghui also joined the battle, although the three could corner Liu Yong, it would leave no one to protect Yu Weilian.
In that scenario, if Liu Yong, pushed to desperation, turned his attack on Yu Weilian, then who would guarantee her safety?
The battle raged on for a while, and with Zhang Hongying’s involvement, Liu Yong soon found himself gradually at a disadvantage.
If things continued like this, Liu Yong would likely fall to the joint efforts of Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying.
Liu Yong’s face turned ashen. He hadn’t expected to kick an iron plate this time. Zhang Hongying’s injuries had recovered by seventy to eighty percent, and the person he met of the Fifth level of the Nirvana realm, seemed useless, yet in reality, his combat power surpassed Zhang Hongying’s.
The situation grew increasingly unfavorable for Liu Yong, so he immediately took out a Golden Light Secret Technique and slashed toward Lin Chen.
The golden light instantly flashed, slicing through space, striking toward Lin Chen’s head.
Seeing this, Lin Chen’s face changed, feeling a strong oppressive force from the Golden Light Secret Technique.
It seemed this was Liu Yong’s trump card, aiming to swiftly claim his life before dealing with Zhang Hongying.
If he could kill Lin Chen, the combat situation would turn in Liu Yong’s favor.
As the Golden Light Secret Technique flew toward him, Lin Chen waved his hand, conjuring a Dharma Seal that he slapped toward the golden light, which immediately transformed into a massive mountain in front of him, pressing toward the light.
Boom—
Crash—
As the giant mountain appeared, the Golden Light Secret Technique collided with it, shaking the mountain with intense vibrations, and the golden light got embedded within the mountain.
The golden light surged, cleaving most of the mountain, causing countless stones to shatter, and the mountain trembled violently.
Ugh—
Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face suddenly turning pale.
The Mountain Splitter Seal was mostly shattered. As a magic treasure Lin Chen had refined, its damage naturally caused him to suffer backlash.
However, fortunately, this magic treasure of Lin Chen managed to block Liu Yong’s trump card.
Lin Chen sighed inwardly, realizing these Top Ten Heroes were indeed not simple; this trump card was truly extraordinary.
In the face of this Golden Light Secret Technique, even a Creation Realm Expert might fall.
Seeing his trump card blocked, Liu Yong immediately understood that killing Lin Chen and the others was now impossible.
If he remained here opposed to Lin Chen and the others, he might end up dead instead of them.
Whoosh—
Seeing the situation turn against him, Liu Yong immediately used a spell, transforming into a stream of light to escape the area.
Watching Liu Yong escape, Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, naturally not pursuing him.
Looking at the Mountain Splitter Seal in his hand, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
Cracks covered the Mountain Splitter Seal, and though not completely broken, its power was reduced by at least seventy percent.
This was his trump card magic treasure, which he had nourished for a long time with the Wine Curse Lotus to enhance its level.
However, even though the Mountain Splitter Seal was damaged, it could still be placed in the Wine Curse Lotus, to be restored and strengthened using other Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
Standing aside, Zhang Hongying also heaved a sigh of relief.
If Lin Chen hadn’t arrived this time, she might have met her end at Liu Yong’s hands.
Looking at Lin Chen, seeing him so distressed over his magic treasure, Zhang Hongying was speechless.
This guy should be grateful his magic treasure blocked Liu Yong’s secret technique golden light.
It’s known that Zhang Hongying had once seen Liu Yong use that same move to kill a Creation Realm Expert.
Lin Chen standing unharmed here was already a blessing, clearly thanks to Lin Chen’s own strength, capable of contending with Liu Yong.
Zhang Hongying looked at Lin Chen, full of vigilance.
Clearly, she had underestimated Lin Chen; his talents and trump cards were too formidable and elusive.
If that Secret Technique Golden Light had been aimed at Zhang Hongying, she was sure she wouldn’t have been able to withstand it in her current state.
Thinking back to their previous battle, Lin Chen hadn’t even used his full hand back then.
If Lin Chen had used that Dharma Seal, Zhang Hongying might have already been defeated.
If they fought to the death, Zhang Hongying believed Lin Chen had a greater chance of surviving.
Staring deeply at Lin Chen, Zhang Hongying couldn’t help but waver.
Such a Heaven-blessed figure, was it really wise for the Zhang Family to oppose him?
Considering Lin Chen would undoubtedly gain Yunlong Heavenly Palace’s favor after passing their assessment, the Zhang Family would have to think thrice before making any moves against him.
Zhang Hongying also felt a sense of defeat; it was her first time feeling overshadowed in terms of talent.
Her usual pride was utterly shattered before Lin Chen; compared to him, how could she claim the title of a favored daughter of heaven?
