Chapter 10

In Xing Guangyuan's hand, mystic power gathered, forming a massive fireball.

Immediately, he struck out, the fireball indiscriminately bombarding every corner of the cave.

He didn't see Lin Chen's figure, but this didn't mean Lin Chen wasn't there. He had to confirm!

Lin Chen's pupils constricted.

Xing Guangyuan, who was responsible for reconnaissance in the Lin family army, had always been highly skilled, and it seemed he hadn't become rusty.

At this moment, the fireball raged, and although Lin Chen could hide his figure, he couldn't ignore the impact.

He could only reveal himself!

Since they would meet even under these circumstances, it was time to settle things!

Xing Guangyuan's expression changed.

This is! Lin Chen!

He's really here!

"Ha ha ha, it seems even the heavens are on my side!" Xing Guangyuan couldn't help but laugh wildly, extremely excited.

He stared intently at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with greed and bloodlust.

"General, do you know how much your head is worth? It's amazing that you would deliver it to me in person!" Xing Guangyuan laughed coldly, already envisioning the scene of his promotion!

When Lin Chen fled the capital, he was severely injured and almost dead. Even though he had recovered somewhat, it was still limited. Xing Guangyuan was confident he could kill Lin Chen!

Lin Chen looked at Xing Guangyuan with a cold, indifferent gaze, saying nothing.

Xing Guangyuan, however, sneered and taunted, "General, did you ever think you'd end up like this? Back then, you wanted to kill me for a few lowly commoners. If it weren't for General Zhao's fairness, I would have been dead long ago. And now, it's time for me to repay General Zhao!"

Lin Chen's eyes were icy cold, his voice devoid of any warmth, "Repay? If you truly repaid him, you wouldn't have come alone. You want to claim the reward for yourself, disregarding the bigger picture. You're indeed a poor soldier wherever you go!"

"But this is for the best. I've always wanted to clean house. Now, I'll finish what I started!"

Hearing this, Xing Guangyuan burst into laughter, full of mockery.

Lin Chen, now nothing more than

a

fugitive, is still putting up a tough front!

Killing Lin Chen and becoming a guest of the royal family, he would be in a glorious position, even Zhao Wujie wouldn't be able to command him!

There's nothing to say, just attack!

Xing Guangyuan's strength was not weak. At his peak, he had reached the Fifth Level of the Thousand Jun Realm, and now his cultivation might have reached the Sixth Level!

For Lin Chen, he was indeed too strong!

Not to mention that Lin Chen was still not fully recovered, with Wang Yousi's sword intent continuously disrupting his mystic power, limiting his combat ability.

Therefore, he had to resolve the battle immediately!

Lin Chen's sword technique changed!

Eight Shadow Steps.

Instantly, nine figures appeared, all charging towards Xing Guangyuan!

"Eight Shadow Steps practiced to nine shadows, still so impressive, but General, why is your aura so weak!" Xing Guangyuan sneered, deflecting with a single sword strike.

The flame sword light swept across, the power was too strong, shattering the eight shadows, and Lin Chen's body was also shaken, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Is that all? That's not enough to impress!" Xing Guangyuan laughed, confirming that Lin Chen was injured and far from fully recovered.

Compared to his peak, the difference was like heaven and earth. He was no match at all!

The flames burned fiercely, and Xing Guangyuan's attacks were relentless, with no mercy, all aimed to kill.

Lin Chen coughed up blood continuously. After just a few clashes, many parts of his body were already scorched and cut!

"It seems it's about to end. General, I'll borrow your head!" Xing Guangyuan laughed wildly, extremely excited.

But the light in Lin Chen's hand suddenly changed, transforming into a brilliant sword wheel, whistling forward!

Array-Cutting Sword Wheel!

Xing Guangyuan's expression changed, but he sneered, full of mockery, "General, are you still struggling in your dying moments?

Do you think you can defeat me now?"

At that moment, he also unleashed the Array-Cutting Sword Wheel!

This was a technique used by the border army to cut through enemy formations, extremely fierce. Xing Guangyuan certainly didn't mind using the same move to defeat Lin Chen!

The sword wheels collided, and Lin Chen was at a disadvantage. His realm was far too low, and Wang Yousi's sword intent continued to affect him.

He was knocked back by a single clash.

"Ha ha, General, is this all you've got? What happened to your righteous and imposing demeanor from before?" Xing Guangyuan laughed wildly, mocking Lin Chen. He was certain of his victory.

However, he wasn't Zhao Xing; he was a veteran, with extremely seasoned and fierce combat skills, and he would never underestimate Lin Chen!

His attacks were like a raging fire, the sword wheel roaring, forcing Lin Chen into a corner!

"Too bad, I don't want any accidents, otherwise, I would have loved to see you beg for mercy!" Xing Guangyuan sneered.

He was worried about any variables, so he wanted to kill Lin Chen immediately!

"Array-Cutting Sword Wheel, Double Cut!" Xing Guangyuan sneered, his tone cruel. His sword wheel instantly split into two, slicing towards Lin Chen simultaneously!

"This is the move you taught me, dying to this move must be quite painful, right!" Xing Guangyuan laughed wildly, but he didn't relax for a moment, using his full strength for this strike!

This was a veteran, a product of the Lin family army trained by Lin Chen.

His combat skills and experience were far beyond those of ordinary warriors, capable of taking on ten at once!

But at this moment, Lin Chen wanted him to use his full strength!

Lin Chen's eyes flashed. Facing the two wheels, he didn't retreat but advanced, his body crouching, passing through the incredibly narrow space between the two wheels!

How is this possible!

Xing Guangyuan was shocked. The space between the two wheels was incredibly small, and the time it appeared was just a fleeting moment!

How could anyone grasp it!

But Lin Chen

did it, seizing the opportunity in that instant. Although his shoulders burst open, blood and flesh torn, his movements did not deform at all!

This was too sudden, beyond expectations. Even though Xing Guangyuan didn't underestimate Lin Chen, he couldn't react in time.

Lin Chen's sword pierced through his body, piercing his heart!

"To borrow my head, you're not qualified," Lin Chen said coldly.

"You... You used the Array-Cutting Sword Wheel... just... for this moment!" Xing Guangyuan stared at Lin Chen, full of resentment.

He should have won.

Lin Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, said nothing, and directly cut off all of Xing Guangyuan's life force.

Xing Guangyuan was right; Lin Chen had deliberately used the Array-Cutting Sword Wheel.

This move, Xing Guangyuan had a deep understanding of, it was his signature sword technique!

And Lin Chen also knew Xing Guangyuan's character, knowing that he would definitely want to use the same move to crush him.

To avenge himself and make him die in even more pain.

And this was Lin Chen's opportunity!

After all, this sword technique was taught by Lin Chen to Xing Guangyuan. Who could understand the Array-Cutting Sword Wheel better than him?

Killing Xing Guangyuan, Lin Chen quickly searched his spatial ring.

The commotion just now was significant, and Lin Chen was worried about attracting others, so he had to leave immediately.

"There are quite a few healing pills, enough for me to recover. Unfortunately, there are still no Fifth Rank healing pills," Lin Chen muttered.

For Xing Guangyuan's level, obtaining a spatial ring was already no small feat, and its quality was naturally not great, with limited internal space.

It only contained necessary pills and a few maps, offering limited help to Lin Chen.

"Hey, what's this?" Lin Chen carefully searched and suddenly found a leather mask inside!

Taking it out, Lin Chen's eyes immediately lit up!

A human skin mask!
