Zhou Yuan’s murderous intent had reached its peak, and a red-yellow treasured sword appeared in his hand. This sword made Lin Chen’s eyes light up, for it was a sword imbued with Fire Attribute Power. It was clear that Zhou Yuan cultivated Fire Attribute Techniques.
Zhou Yuan held the Redflame Sword, channeling Spiritual Power into it.
Although he had not yet fully figured out the Formation Lin Chen had laid out around him, provoked by Lin Chen, he had to make a move in order to maintain his prestige among the disciples of Bodhi Hall.
"Such powerful Sword Qi, this guy really lives up to being one of the top forty-six on the earth list."
Lin Chen was secretly alarmed in his heart as he ushered Yu Weilian and the others to take refuge behind him.
While Lin Chen was concerned about everyone getting injured, he also knew that activating the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation and the Defensive Array would protect them, although it might not be enough to seriously injure Zhou Yuan.
Facing the Sword Qi condensed by Zhou Yuan, Lin Chen commanded the fierce tiger puppet to attack, but Zhou Yuan smashed the fierce tiger puppet with a single sword strike, making Lin Chen’s heart tremble as he realized he had underestimated Zhou Yuan’s strength. Without hesitation, Zhou Yuan struck again with his sword.
Lin Chen did not hesitate either and immediately activated the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation. Flaming dragons rose from the ground, forming a barrier of firelight, protecting Lin Chen and the others within.
Zhou Yuan’s Sword Qi landed on the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, merely causing sparks and ripples of firelight without doing any substantial damage.
"This guy, not only does he have strong puppets, but he’s also proficient in such advanced formations."
Zhou Yuan became more serious, realizing that Lin Chen was not a Demon Cultivator from Red Soul Hall. The previous false accusation was just an excuse to kill Lin Chen and the others from Divine Flame Sect.
Zhou Yuan realized that Lin Chen, despite his youth, possessed Puppetry Technique and a profound command of powerful formations, which might turn him into a thorny enemy in the future. To be enemies with such a person was undeniably a terrifying prospect.
Zhou Yuan was thoroughly panic-stricken; if he could not slay Lin Chen here today, he would surely have restless nights.
Despite Zhou Yuan’s continuous effort to gather energy and attack, he could never destroy the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation set up by Lin Chen.
Every attack of his, due to his fire-attribute Spiritual Power, became a source of energy for the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, enhancing the power of the Formation.
After one such attack, Lin Chen controlled the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation, making the twelve Fire Dragons exhale even stronger flames to launch an attack against Zhou Yuan and his people.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan had to retreat with the disciples of Bodhi Hall to avoid being affected by the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation’s attack.
Once the power of the Explosive Dragon Killing Formation weakened, Zhou Yuan and the disciples lingered around the perimeter, not believing that the formation could operate indefinitely. They waited for the energy of the Formation to be exhausted, at which point they could easily break the Formation.
After sensing around, Zhou Yuan found not only broken bones but also many magic treasures of remarkable Quality Grade.
These treasures, though damaged, were all Lower Heaven-level Treasures of immense value.
If they could be repaired by a renowned Artifact Refiner, they would regain their full Heavenly Grade Quality. This update ıs available on NoveI[F]ire.net
A disciple from Bodhi Hall found one of the treasures and picked it up, but soon Zhou Yuan noticed it.
Zhou Yuan ordered everyone to collect the treasures around them and hand them over to him; he would distribute them based on each person’s contribution in the secret realm.
Zhou Yuan’s command caused dissatisfaction among the disciples, but they knew they might face his wrath if they did not comply.
Lin Chen, from within the Formation, saw Zhou Yuan and his people picking up the treasures that were rightfully his, feeling extremely aggrieved. He knew that once the opportunity arose, he would make Zhou Yuan and his people pay the price.
