Chapter 2441 - 2442: Zheng He

Chapter 2441: Chapter 2442: Zheng He

This was Lin Chen’s most powerful strike, yet also a move he was quite unfamiliar with.

The reason for this was naturally that Lin Chen had not yet grasped the essence within it, and additionally, his control over spiritual energy was vastly imprecise, making it extremely difficult for Lin Chen to execute it.

However, under the current circumstances, Lin Chen could no longer afford to consider much; the spiritual energy within his body began to circulate wildly. This operation was extremely swift, since it wasn’t Lin Chen’s first time, nor was it obscure, except that the spiritual energy was somewhat unskilled as it passed through his arm.

But now, once Lin Chen decided to do this, he would not be conflicted anymore. The spiritual energy, like a rushing river, converged in that direction.

Yet at this moment, there suddenly came a sound of breaking through the air from afar!

Simultaneously with the sound of breaking through the air, a furious shout followed, "Stop!"

These words startled everyone, the voice resounding like rolling thunder, with a hint of anger, and infused with spiritual energy, spreading far and wide.

After the voice fell, Zhou Lie’s body trembled slightly. His large and rough figure felt an unexpected hint of fear at this time.

"Master."

What Zhou Lie uttered through his clenched teeth was a sound filled with deep reverence.

With Zhou Lie’s words spoken, the attack initially about to fall upon Lin Chen also halted and stopped.

The several blades began to swiftly intersect together upon Zhou Lie’s attack being retracted, transforming from the original several to a single sword.

The blade was no longer as thin and sharp as before but became exceedingly broad and thick.

Once the blades returned together, Zhou Lie moved his hands, and the large blade was quickly retracted.

He then looked towards the distant sky with great anxiety.

Lin Chen, since Zhou Lie’s attack momentum was retracted, naturally had no reason to conjure up that attack. Fortunately, this call to halt came very timely, allowing Lin Chen to easily retract this assault.

Still, had Lin Chen’s spiritual energy already traversed to his right arm, it would have been difficult to withdraw it.

Following this, Lin Chen also lifted his head, gazing into the distance with Zhou Lie, looking towards the source of the voice.

Not only them, but several disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall did likewise.

As for Zhong Wei, his gaze flickered, head slightly bowed, thoughts racing.

"It looks like this isn’t something Zhou Lie can settle."

Zhong Wei’s eyes flickered, anxiety mounting in his heart.

The incident seemed to be escalating, which was extremely unfavorable for him.

Initially, he thought Zhou Lie’s intervention might stabilize the situation. Yet unexpectedly, Lin Chen displayed such capabilities, parrying with Zhou Lie for a considerable time.

Previously, from Zhou Lie’s words, it was clear that the newcomer was Zhou Lie’s master.

An individual of such stature wasn’t something Zhong Wei could alter the facts about with a few words. If this matter were exposed, getting too big, he might face some penalties.

Zhong Wei pondered, feeling a slight impulse to withdraw, no longer wishing to linger here.

Yet under the current situation, how could Zhong Wei leave easily, with so many eyes watching and someone approaching from afar? If Zhong Wei walked away now, wouldn’t it be akin to admitting his fault in the matter?

Although this was the truth, Zhong Wei couldn’t easily confess, lest he face punitive measures.

Moreover, now Lin Chen has killed a sect disciple; as long as the matter is shifted onto this, he might escape. With this thought, Zhong Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head, eyes angrily fixed on Lin Chen; if not for Lin Chen’s intervention, this wouldn’t be so troublesome.

When the matter is concluded, throwing some good things to that girl wouldn’t make it this complicated!

In the city, he had done the same, naturally feeling nothing amiss.

...

As Zhong Wei muddled his thoughts, a figure finally arrived from afar.

The figure descended from the sky, illuminated by the bright moonlight, revealing its features clearly.

It was a middle-aged man, with a head of fiery red hair, a stern expression on his face, descending without greeting the crowd, he directly walked to Zhou Lie’s front.

"How many times have I told you to use it sparingly; you still lack the ability to control it!"

The man walked to Zhou Lie’s front and disregarding the others’ gaze, delivered a kick to Zhou Lie’s calf, showing no mercy.

Yet Zhou Lie seemed fearful, not daring to resist the rough kick, while inwardly feeling warmth.

He knew the person before him wasn’t intentionally striking, but because of the technique Zhou Lie had just used.

This attack had severe aftereffects; especially Zhou Lie currently couldn’t control it, worsening the aftermath.

The man before him, sensing this, must have rushed over from somewhere.

This filled Zhou Lie with deep emotion.

"It’s him indeed."

Lin Chen withdrew the Tianyan Ancient Sword, seeing the person arriving, he felt clarity, already guessing Zhou Lie was indeed the disciple of Zheng He.

After all, this peculiar attack was used by Zheng He alone within the Green Ripple Sect.

"What’s going on?"

Zheng He knitted his brows, glancing slightly around, then immediately addressed Zhou Lie before him.

"Ahem... This matter arose because a sect disciple was killed... I received a rescue signal and rushed over, seeing such a dire situation. As for other matters, I don’t know much."

Zhou Lie coughed lightly, answering honestly, saying no more about unknown matters.

He turned, waved behind him, beckoning Zhong Wei to his side, introducing him to Zheng He: "This is my little brother, who also came because he heard the rescue signal."

"And there, is the person who killed a fellow disciple."

Then Zhou Lie pointed with his hand, the direction being where Lin Chen stood.

Standing by Ying, Lin Chen felt the accusing point, face remaining calm, merely gazing placidly at Zheng He, whose eyes were now turning towards him.
