Chapter 2437: Chapter 2438: Zhou Lie

Zhou Lie, with a cold shout, raised his large blade high, and an unusually terrifying power emanated from it.

This power was very different from the ordinary person wielding a knife, particularly in its frightening magnitude; the blade Zhou Lie held carried exceptionally strong power.

As his hand rose, a massive and forceful momentum was also evident in his movement.

A knife wielded with such might was precisely how it should be with Zhou Lie, and this blade without an edge demanded extremely formidable strength.

Spiritual energy flowed between the knife, with exceedingly violent power causing the blade to tremble slightly, indicating its fearsome nature.

Ordinary people would have been scared stiff by witnessing such an attack, as even from a distance, one could feel the terrifying energy emanating from the blade’s momentum.

"Looks like Brother Zhou has improved quite a bit these days."

"Improving like this makes Brother Zhou the undisputed candidate for elder in this tenure."

Those fellow classmates who had spent much time with Zhou Lie revealed envious expressions upon feeling Zhou Lie’s powerful strike. People

They had interacted for quite a long while and naturally understood each other’s situation very well.

Since Zhou Lie made his move, they could tell he had made significant breakthroughs; the power surging from him had become quite profound.

And not much time had passed either; at this rate, Zhou Lie, advancing like this, would soon reach the position of elder within the sect.

This naturally triggered a bit of envy among them, looking at Zhou Lie with desire.

All of these disciples who joined the law enforcement hall hoped for the elder position; after all, holding the position meant great power and temptation for them.

They were just young people with blood still hot inside; who didn’t have such desires? It was the driving force for being in the law enforcement hall. Otherwise, why waste time here?

Zhou Lie was the one with the strongest power among them, making them naturally quite envious.

"Prepare yourself!"

Zhou Lie, perhaps due to Lin Chen’s earlier words or upon seeing the tragic scene, didn’t hold back at all. Force surged from his hands; the blade seemed heavy as a thousand pounds, raised high and then slashed down.

As it fell, Zhou Lie’s body moved simultaneously as if carrying a mountain, pressing fiercely towards Lin Chen.

The momentum was astonishing, shaking the night’s air; as the violent blade swung down, a sound of indescribable ferocity resonated.

In just half a breath, the large blade slashed towards Lin Chen!

With such a movement, Lin Chen quickly reacted.

Though his expression had remained calm until then, facing such a violent strike made Lin Chen’s expression turn serious.

From this strike, one could see Zhou Lie was no ordinary person; his spiritual energy cultivation was also considerable.

If it weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have been able to join the law enforcement hall.

No matter Zhou Lie’s strength, Lin Chen had never feared him.

First, he moved Xiao Ying aside, turning her away so she wouldn’t see Zhu Hao’s tragic fate.

Then, Lin Chen let spiritual energy flow within his body; the surging energies, like streams, moved under Lin Chen’s command, crazily circulating within his body, swiftly converging on Lin Chen’s arm.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen raised his sword as well, stepping slightly forward.

As he moved, the momentum gradually attached to his body, turning his face more cold and harsh. Like his raised longsword, shining sharp under the silver light.

"What’s he trying to do?"

"Could it be he’s planning a direct clash with Brother Zhou?"

Seeing Lin Chen’s actions, their expressions turned quite remarkable, exchanging glances and soon erupting in laughter interwoven with mockery.

"I thought it might be a master; didn’t expect it to be like this..."

"Brother Zhou’s specialty is power; wishing to break through Brother Zhou’s attack with it is simply dreaming!"

Someone sneered, the ridicule in their tone extremely clear.

This voice spread afar, reaching Lin Chen’s ears.

Yet how could such words affect Lin Chen? He paid no mind to their pronouncements, gripping his sword tighter.

Like Zhou Lie, he specialized in such formidable force.

But that much was unknown to those present.

Lin Chen squinted, the aura from his sword reaching its peak.

The spiritual energy he commanded surged effortlessly into his right arm, then swiftly flowed onto the sword.

This was different from his usual sword technique, as the energy, after moving through the Qu Chi acupoint, developed a sinister force, not fully straightforward like before but possessing a subtle sinister flavor.

This was due to the change the black scourge energy brought.

Despite being strange, Lin Chen had tried it before; such usage didn’t diminish the attack’s momentum much; it could achieve unforeseen results.

However, it did increase unpredictability.

Originally, Lin Chen didn’t intend to utilize this technique, as it wasn’t suitable for regular combat, making withdrawal difficult.

But now was different; due to Xiao Ying, Lin Chen was enraged, then even more upon seeing Zhou Lie’s demeanor, confirming Zhou Lie shielded Zhong Wei, clear anger was evident.

After slaying someone, Lin Chen unabashedly unleashed his power, embedding it within his sword, waiting for the collision moment for surprise effect!

The shout!

With a shout, Lin Chen increased his force a bit more. Two violent strikes were about to collide!
