"What Blue Lotus Divine Flame? I have no idea what you’re talking about!" Dıscover more novels at novel★fire.net
Lin Chen turned his head towards Ma Yuan and spoke indifferently, feigning ignorance about everything.
The Blue Lotus Divine Flame was indeed stolen by Lin Chen. Ma Yuan had not settled the score with Lin Chen until now; Lin Chen knew that the other party was waiting for an opportunity, and now it seemed that time had come.
Lin Chen had witnessed Ma Yuan’s strength on Mt. Taiyin Path; the man was ruthless in his actions, having slain many Shape-shifting Great Demons.
If it really came down to a contest of strength, even if Lin Chen used all his trump cards, he might not necessarily be Ma Yuan’s match.
However, now that they were atop the Iron Chains with the Soul Shock effect, Lin Chen naturally wasn’t afraid of him.
Lin Chen firstly refused to admit anything, pretending not to understand what the other person was talking about. But in the next second,
Lin Chen immediately took out the Blazing Fire Gold Bow, expertly placed a Silver Arrow Feather on it, aimed at Ma Yuan, and fired.
The silver Arrow Feather tore through space, shooting straight towards Ma Yuan, who was stunned.
Ma Yuan cursed aloud; just a second ago he was flabbergasted that Lin Chen pretended to know nothing, and the next second, the kid was bending the bow and fitting the arrow, shooting at him without any mercy.
The Arrow Feather reached where Ma Yuan stood and immediately exploded. These Silver Arrow Feathers were specially made by Lin Chen and they were extremely powerful explosives; not just any Melding Earth Realm Peak Martial Artist could withstand them.
With the Iron Chains restricting movement, and being at such close proximity, Lin Chen didn’t believe Ma Yuan could dodge the attack.
However, after the explosion, Lin Chen found that Ma Yuan was completely unharmed — Ma Yuan had actually sacrificed a magic treasure to block the attack.
"I seem to have forgotten that in this relic, everyone has obtained quite a few treasures. This guy really dares to use one directly as a shield against arrows,"
"But I want to see just how many arrows you can block. I still have well over a hundred Arrow Feathers."
Lin Chen grinned coldly, once again expertly drawing his bow and fitting the arrows, shooting them directly at Ma Yuan.
Seeing this, Ma Yuan’s expression instantly stiffened. He hadn’t expected that he, a Heaven-reaching Realm Third Layer Martial Artist, who had originally planned to threaten Lin Chen, would now be on the defensive due to the other’s attacks.
"Kid, do you really think I don’t have a way to deal with you? You’re not the only one with long-range capabilities,"
Ma Yuan looked at Lin Chen and sneered, then suddenly pulled out a silver crossbow from his Space Artifact.
Ma Yuan then loaded the crossbow with arrows — he was actually putting in seven arrows at the same time.
"He has long-range weapons too,"
Lin Chen only glanced at the crossbow in Ma Yuan’s hands and felt a bad premonition. Those bolts gave Lin Chen a very dangerous feeling.
It turned out to be an Earth-grade Low Quality Magical Instrument, and the bolts were also specially made, seeming no less inferior to the Explosive Arrows which Lin Chen himself had refined. What was most important was that the bolts were obviously rapid-fire, and if Lin Chen engaged in a shootout, setting aside the matter of power, the other party’s shooting speed would far exceed his own.
Lin Chen exclaimed, immediately slapping a Swiftness Talisman onto himself and quickly running forward; he was now less than a hundred meters away from the opposite shore.
Being on the Iron Chains made him a sitting duck; he had to get off the chains first, then figure out a way to deal with Ma Yuan.
"Hehe, scared now, are we? Too bad it’s too late!"
Ma Yuan snorted coldly, a cold smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth. He immediately pulled the trigger of the crossbow, rapidly firing bolt after bolt at Lin Chen.
Once shot from the crossbow, the bolts surprisingly turned into flaming arrows, each with the power comparable to a full-force strike from a Melding Earth Realm Peak Martial Artist.
The arrows that Lin Chen dodged struck the iron chains, instantly bursting into flames.
When Lin Chen’s Spiritual Sense detected a few arrows closing in on his back, he knew he couldn’t dodge. He immediately summoned a black spear and swept it through the air behind him, deflecting the incoming arrows.
Flames ignited along the spear, and the intense heat forced Lin Chen to drop the spear into the abyss below, causing him a pang of distress.
But as long as his life was preserved, the loss of a few magic treasures was no big deal.
Next, Lin Chen took out spear after spear, repeating the process to deflect Ma Yuan’s bolts one by one, costing Lin Chen five Profound Intermediate magic treasures.
Although the barrage of bolts was blocked, Lin Chen’s arm went numb, and he was internally injured by the force of the recoil, which spoke volumes about the power of those arrows.
"As expected of an Earth-grade Magical Instrument, damn it, he’s still coming. You really think I’m afraid of you."
Just when Lin Chen thought he had dodged all the attacks, Ma Yuan caught up and loaded seven more bolts, firing them in rapid succession at Lin Chen.
Facing the onslaught of seven consecutive bolts, rage surged in Lin Chen’s heart. He drew out the Blazing Fire Gold Bow. This time, he didn’t attach an Arrow Feather but instead infused his Spiritual Power into the Blazing Fire Gold Bow. Placing his finger on the bowstring, a fiery yellow arrow materialized out of thin air. Lin Chen shouted, "Go!" The fiery yellow arrow not only deflected all seven of Ma Yuan’s bolts but also shot straight at him.
"This is the true power of his Golden Bow and Arrow!"
Ma Yuan, witnessing the fiery yellow arrow flying toward him, was utterly astounded.
An explosion sounded, but Ma Yuan only suffered minor injuries.
His body was scorched, and soon after, he stripped off a silver piece of armor, revealing it to be an Earth-grade Low Quality defensive armor, which Lin Chen’s single arrow had now ruined.
"This guy, he really does have a lot of treasures on him."
Lin Chen snorted coldly, stowed away the Blazing Fire Gold Bow, and finally arrived at the end of the iron chains. With a leap, he landed inside the Descending Heaven Great Hall.
Seeing this, Ma Yuan hurriedly followed.
"Congratulations to the both of you for passing the Descension Cave Mansion’s trial; welcome to the Descending Heaven Hall!"
As Lin Chen and Ma Yuan entered the Descending Heaven Hall one after the other, the Girl in White appeared again, slowly walking out from the front of the great hall and speaking to them.
"Haha, fantastic, does this mean we can inherit the timeless legacy?"
Upon hearing the Girl in White’s words, Ma Yuan was overjoyed and temporarily ceased his pursuit of Lin Chen.
After all, they had both passed the trial. Who knew what punishment might be inflicted for striking down someone who had passed?
His Keen Observation Skill was not weak, and he could tell the Girl in White was no ordinary person. Just the ability to appear out of nowhere was not something he dared to provoke.
