Chapter 2439: Chapter 2440: Blade Prison

"Oh no, is he going to use that move?"

Those disciples from the Green Ripple Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, who were familiar with Zhou Lie, couldn’t help but narrow their eyes slightly and take a calming breath upon seeing the scene. They then looked at Lin Chen with a hint of pity in their gazes.

No matter if Lin Chen held his own against Zhou Lie just now, their current perception of Lin Chen was as if they were looking at a dead man after this strike from Zhou Lie.

From Lin Chen’s earlier moves, these disciples could see Lin Chen’s strength was not weak, but when facing someone like Zhou Lie, he still seemed a bit lacking.

After all, Zhou Lie’s previous moves merely directed all his force into the sword blade without a hint of technique, which could be considered brute force.

Yet, Zhou Lie seemed different now.

At this moment, he held the long blade with both hands, and from within, burst forth an extremely mysterious power.

In a momentary trance, Lin Chen seemed to see the broad blade slowly separating.

Such a scene caused Lin Chen to slightly frown. It wasn’t because Lin Chen felt the terror of this strike, but because it was a strike Lin Chen seemed to have seen somewhere before.

He furrowed his brow in deep thought, and after a moment, couldn’t help but recall.

"What’s wrong, are you scared?"

However, Zhou Lie knew nothing of Lin Chen’s thoughts and coldly sneered, taking a deep breath and speaking with a sinister tone.

Originally, he didn’t want to use such a technique, but Lin Chen’s insensitivity forced his hand. He needed to show Lin Chen his power.

In the Green Ripple Sect, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall have absolute authority, and it was necessary for him to learn the consequences of excessive arrogance!

Lin Chen paid no mind but casually observed Zhou Lie’s forthcoming attack, while the power surged within Lin Chen’s grasped sword. He clearly felt Zhou Lie’s move’s immense strength and dared not be careless.

Moreover, he had seen such a sword technique before; not long ago, against Lu Kang, Zheng He used an attack identical to this.

The only slight difference now is that this sword technique was meant to harm him, whereas Zheng He previously used it to save him.

Zhou Lie gazed at Lin Chen’s indifferent demeanor, his eyes sinking unwittingly.

Right after, he took a breath, lightly biting his teeth, and was ready to unleash the attack.

"Fiery Trap!"

Zhou Lie’s mouth uttered in a low voice, with a hoarse tone that seemed to carry an extremely fierce momentum. At the same time, Zhou Lie’s grip on the sword hilt slowly relaxed.

As he loosened his grip, the blade gradually split. The large sword, under Zhou Lie’s actions, finally separated slowly.

This was identical to the previous attack Zheng He used! It was precisely the domineering Fiery Trap that appeared in the previous battlefield!

Such wild force abruptly emerged from Zhou Lie, and with this strike, Zhou Lie turned slightly pale.

The rosy cheeks abruptly turned pale in an instant.

The Spiritual Energy this strike consumed was immense, even Zhou Lie found it somewhat strenuous with his level of cultivation.

And not long after he uttered those words, the long sword swiftly separated from the broad blade into several pieces; a total of four pieces! Each piece seemed very thin and flexible.

Yet, from this thinness, one could feel the immense power contained within.

Although it wasn’t as refined as Zheng He’s previous technique nor did it split as many blades, the power was still formidable.

The blades first soared into the air and then suddenly fell to the ground from above.

Like a bolt of lightning, they pierced the hard ground, instantly trapping Lin Chen within them!

Although Xiao Ying was somewhat nervous, Lin Chen had already placed her in a relatively safe spot, so naturally, there wasn’t much danger for her.

Several blades embedded deeply into the ground, seemingly guided by some kind of energy, making the blades appear as separate entities, but in reality, due to the energy’s presence, they felt as one.

Lin Chen’s expression remained unchanged, only lowering his head slightly, his eyes carefully surveying the surroundings. According to what he saw of Zheng He’s previous attack in the blade array, some unusual items should appear.

"Rise!"

Another light shout rose from Zhou Lie’s mouth, and with his voice falling, Zhou Lie’s complexion worsened slightly.

Yet, as the words were uttered, some anomalies appeared in the blade array.

From the deeply embedded sword blades below the earth, a flame emerged, sprouting rapidly from beneath the yellow soil, swiftly climbing upwards. In no time within the established blade array, flames surged to the sky!

"Awaken!"

Zhou Lie’s voice carried a trace of rage, his eyes glaring at the spot with arrogance.

He was well aware of the power of this strike. Although Zhou Lie now couldn’t unleash the full power, even two or three-tenths, this attack would be hard for ordinary people to withstand.

The flames erupted, and amidst the red glow, flashes of silver light occasionally burst forth.

These silver lights, hidden beneath the mantle of flames, made it harder to grasp their motion patterns. This was utterly terrifying, especially within such high temperatures, the blades became searing hot, and if one’s not careful and got burned, it might lead to fire poisoning, causing severe damage to the body.

But he faced Lin Chen, who was no ordinary person, particularly with his heightened sensitivity to such attacks and Spiritual Energy.

This was thanks to the third eye between his brows.

Sure enough, before the attack’s momentum fully formed, a seam suddenly cracked open at Lin Chen’s brow, and a black orb emerged from the gap.

With this eye, Lin Chen’s perception of everything around him rapidly magnified, and amidst the intense flames, Lin Chen could sense a thread of breath weaving through.
