Chapter 2440: Chapter 2441: Clash

This is what sets Lin Chen apart from others. When he observes these things, the scenes are projected from his third eye and fed back into his mind, making everything he sees incredibly clear.

This is where the difference lies.

"I am curious to see how long you can remain calm!"

Under the dark canopy, Lin Chen, holding a longsword, appeared very composed.

This contrasted with Zhou Lie, who had just unleashed his attack. Zhou Lie stood at a distance, with a tinge of anger visible on his pale face. In his eyes, a flash of fire surged, resembling the brilliance in the blade, as he stared intently at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s calm demeanor naturally made him feel somewhat displeased.

Since his debut, Zhou Lie’s opponents have been rare, but even with such talents, none have faced Zhou Lie with the same tranquility as Lin Chen.

This was the source of Zhou Lie’s fury.

He had already used his strongest attack, yet as the firelight continued to spread, illuminating Lin Chen’s face, he remained as calm as ever, showing no signs of panic. As he turned to examine the attack, his eyes remained indifferent.

With a rough shout, Zhou Lie raised his right hand slightly, and during this motion, a terrifying aura emerged from his attack known as "Blade Inferno."

In this blaze, it appeared and threaded through.

This spiritual technique, although consuming a great amount of Zhou Lie’s spiritual energy, when used, the blade is guided by an aura making it unaffected by other influences.

As long as Zhou Lie has a breath left, he can naturally guide the attack externally.

This is the fearsome aspect of this attack.

Whoosh!

As Lin Chen maneuvered his body, surrounded by the fiery sea of the blade, it seemed that a flaw emerged on his left side.

At this moment, a silver light sprang forth, tearing through the air, fiercely pursuing Lin Chen’s waist from the gap on his left side.

The blade was nimble, and under the scorching blaze, emitted an intense heat.

Even before the attack arrived, waves of heat from the blade reached Lin Chen!

Yet Lin Chen did not panic. As the attack appeared, he slightly curled his lips, like someone with a perfect understanding of the situation.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Lin Chen’s third eye on his forehead was exceptionally sharp; as long as the attack was not overwhelmingly powerful, Lin Chen could see it clearly.

Although Zhou Lie was not weak, and in fact a grade higher than Lin Chen, Lin Chen’s vast battle experience was something Zhou Lie did not anticipate.

Moreover, Lin Chen’s actual combat capabilities were much superior, causing Zhou Lie to initially underestimate Lin Chen, putting himself at a disadvantage from the start.

Lin Chen lightly tapped the floor with his toes, and in an instant, his body rotated. The longsword in his right hand swung upward with rapid motion!

As it swung, a surge of sword light erupted, a momentum born of spiritual energy, connecting instantly with the blade!

This sudden change made Zhou Lie, standing afar, tense with vigilance, not anticipating Lin Chen’s rapid reaction and immediate countermeasure.

Little did Zhou Lie know, this was a flaw deliberately exposed by Lin Chen to provoke Zhou Lie into attacking first!

Though Lin Chen was unclear about Zhou Lie’s methods, he had seen Zheng He use a similar attack before, but this was entirely different from directly facing it.

However, Zhou Lie evidently did not expect this, full of confidence, rarely facing opponents, considering Lin Chen of some importance, yet not adequately.

Yet Zhou Lie was not easily dismissed, evident from his initial strike.

Upon witnessing Lin Chen’s counterattack, his wariness increased significantly.

Soon Zhou Lie gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and lifted his other hand, controlling the separation of additional blades precariously.

This approach required immense concentration, with Zhou Lie controlling merely two separated blades simultaneously at his current level.

Now perhaps due to Lin Chen’s provocation, he fiercely controlled multiple blades concurrently.

With both hands raised, three blades planted in the ground seemed influenced, vibrating slightly on the surface.

Suddenly, these blades moved simultaneously, apart from the initial strike, the three longswords swiftly emerged from the ground.

Alongside their movement, flames on the ground followed, being absorbed into the blades like a conduit!

The fiery red hue replaced the blade’s previous silver color, its intense heat forcing the nighttime darkness to retreat swiftly, unveiling a vast blaze.

"Brother Lin!"

Ying shouted, her young face filled with anxiety, her fervent gaze perhaps reflecting concern or the fiery blades casting a deep red glow.

"Don’t worry."

As Lin Chen deflected the incoming blade from his left side, he reassured Ying from not far away.

He then lifted his head to watch the three flying longswords heading skyward.

The blade thin as cicada’s wings, with the flames rendering it almost indistinguishable, only the foot-long hilt visible, its material unknown, did not burn in the fire.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The three longswords descended separately, targeting Lin Chen’s body from three directions, racing down fiercely.

During their flight, their momentum was unabated, with flames not weakening, scorching the air audibly.

Lin Chen gazed at them, his eyes growing increasingly serious.

This strike is not simple, resisting with his current spiritual energy is a daunting task.

Clearly Zhou Lie had invested heavily in this assault.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, readying to use a sword move taught by Wang Hao.
