At this moment, the encircling Dark Demon armies grew increasingly numerous, and their formidable members became ever more prevalent, putting Lin Chen at an ever-greater disadvantage.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen decided to pick a direction and carve a path through, attempting to break out and leave this place.
Although this deep incursion behind enemy lines to kill nearly one hundred thousand Dark Demon tribespeople was a respectable achievement, Lin Chen believed it would likely benefit the various forces outside the ruins.
However, just as Lin Chen was preparing to leave, a person in black from the selected Dark Demon army rapidly closed in on Lin Chen, wielding a Spiked Magic Artifact that contained terrifying death qi.
Lin Chen, seeing this, tried to use his movement technique to dodge, but the person in black was extremely fast and his attack was upon Lin Chen in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chen’s Body-Protection Treasure was shattered, and his body was sent flying over ten li, crashing heavily into the ground and creating a huge crater.
Just as Lin Chen struggled to his feet, he discovered that the space around him suddenly congealed into a powerful Array locking onto him and launching an attack, while at the same time, the person in black struck again, aiming the spike directly at Lin Chen’s chest.
If it hadn’t been for the Heavenly Superior Treasure Lin Chen was wearing, the injuries he sustained would have been far more severe than they now were.
Having witnessed the power of the spike in the hands of the Dark Demon in black, Lin Chen dared not be negligent any longer. He immediately released thirty-two Flying Swords, which hovered around his body. Under the command of Lin Chen’s Sword technique, the Flying Swords spun rapidly, releasing powerful Sword Qi and forming a formidable Sword Array that protected Lin Chen within.
Facing the dual attack of the person in black and the Dark Demon army, Lin Chen’s thirty-two Flying Swords spun rapidly around him, forming a protective Sword Array.
The Array and the attack from the person in black landed on the Sword Array, causing a massive sound to erupt. Upon seeing this, the Dark Demon tribespeople sneered, convinced that Lin Chen was undoubtedly doomed.
"Hmph, a mere ant dares to resist us, you truly know not whether to live or to die. This time, let’s see how you fend off our attack."
"Everything has finally come to an end. This guy is indeed too dreadful. If he doesn’t die, we truly cannot be at ease, especially given those two powerful forces of Thunder and Lightning and Flame he possesses, which are the natural bane of our Dark Demon Race."
The Dark Demon army, seeing their attack hit where Lin Chen just stood, were convinced that his Sword Array could not have withstood their onslaught.
Before long, the dust settled, and dozens of shattered Flying Swords lay scattered on the ground.
Seeing that Lin Chen was nowhere to be found at his previous location, with only the broken remnants of swords scattered, a smug expression emerged on Hei Zha’s face, and the Dark Demon army also breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"That’s great, we’ve finally killed this guy."
"Yes, it wasn’t easy at all. Without this guy’s death, we simply couldn’t sleep at ease, the powers that restrain us were too worrisome."
At the site where Lin Chen just stood, the Dark Demon army assumed that Lin Chen had died under their combined assault.
"Don’t be complacent, let’s search the area first to see if there’s any trace of that guy’s qi!"
Hei Zha, more cautious than the rest of the Dark Demon tribespeople, also felt that Lin Chen was likely dead. However, to play it safe, he still ordered everyone to search the surrounding area.
Upon hearing this, the Dark Demon army nodded and dispersed to search.
At this moment, three hundred thousand li away, Lin Chen’s figure appeared out of thin air, his qi feeble and his state disheveled.
"Damn it, I almost fell for those Dark Demon Race tricks; I underestimated them. The death qi amassed by their army is truly dreadful, not to mention that Dark Demon Magic Artifact in that guy’s hand, which is indeed powerful."
Lin Chen wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, whispering in pain.
This time, Lin Chen had indeed been too careless.
He had always thought the Dark Demon Race were powerful but simple-minded and not worth the effort to strategize against.
Thus, when Lin Chen used his Divine Soul to survey the Dark Demon army and found that the highest Cultivation among them was only at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, he looked down on them even more.
As a result, he had underestimated that within the Dark Demon army, there were also those adept at scheming.
The person in black from the Dark Demon Race had been biding his time while Lin Chen made his move, seizing the chance for a sneak attack.
The person in black’s Cultivation was actually at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, and along with the Dark Demon Magic Artifact in hand, his power was formidable, leading to Lin Chen’s injury.
If not for Lin Chen’s use of a Qiankun Escape Talisman to flee, he might have truly been left behind under the joint attack of the Dark Demon army and the person in black. Fresh chapters posted on novelFirｅ.net
