209: Chapter 207: Beating Lin Chen

Gu Shengge was speechless. Lin Chen's arrogant attitude made it seem like he thought Gu Shengge was already dead! He helped Jun Mengqing up, his expression calm and indifferent:

“Why bother getting angry over such a person?”

Jun Mengqing looked back, and after confirming it was Gu Shengge, she threw herself into his arms.

“Benefactor, it’s great, you’re alright!”

In the sky, Lin Chen's face was already twisted with rage. He sneered, “Gu Shengge, I really didn’t expect it! You’re actually still alive!”

Gu Shengge scoffed disdainfully, “Even if you die, I won’t. A mere ant dares to spout such nonsense here!”

Accompanying Gu Shengge's fury was a violent electric glow that exploded around him. Thunder spread in all directions, and under the lightning, it shook everything.

Under Lin Chen's astonished gaze, Gu Shengge raised his hand, and intense lightning condensed in his palm.

“Crack!”

The golden lightning transformed into a Dragon, carrying immense power, and suddenly struck Lin Chen.

Lin Chen quickly activated his cultivation, and a blue barrier of magical power, as thick as a mountain, condensed in front of him.

“Boom!”

A violent collision, a powerful energy impact, caused the space to tremble. A wave of energy stirred up a fierce wind, which swept across the ground, instantly clearing the sand and rubble around Gu Shengge.

Jun Mengqing and Nie Ling, hiding by Gu Shengge's side, were not affected by the energy.

In the sky, Lin Chen’s face was terrifyingly grim.

“Gu Shengge! Do you know the consequences of attacking the Saint of the Heaven-Intercepting Sect?!”

He didn't want to reach an irreconcilable situation with Jun Mengqing and Gu Shengge until the very last moment.

Gu Shengge laughed aloud, “Then do you know the consequences of attacking the Saintess of the Heaven-Intercepting Sect? You made the first move, so don't blame us for retaliating!”

Lin Chen was shocked and enraged. He shouted to the three Soul Transformation Heavenly Beings who had just arrived below, “This person intends to harm the Saint of the Heaven-Intercepting Sect. You three, capture him for this Saint!”

The three were astonished and looked at Gu Shengge. Jun Mengqing's eyes narrowed, and Killing Intent swirled within them.

“Everyone, Saint Lin Chen deliberately led you to attack this Saintess and has already harbored Killing Intent towards this Saintess. Now that this Saintess is returning, there should be no problem, right? I hope you will act wisely and not meddle!”

The three's expressions subtly changed. It was truly a case of immortals fighting and mortals suffering.

With the Saint and Saintess fighting each other, how could they know whom to help? They couldn't afford to offend either side!

This situation completely stumped them.

Since Gu Shengge had already made his move, he had no more reservations. Seeing their silence, a trace of Killing Intent flashed in his eyes: “Everyone, since you cannot make a choice, I don't mind helping you make one. But at that time, you will be my enemies, and you will all die!”

Gu Shengge exuded a chilling Killing Intent. There was no need to doubt his resolve; the Killing Intent emanating from him even made the three Soul Transformation Heavenly Beings feel that he would erupt and kill them at any moment.

The three quietly retreated, as if they hadn't seen anything, and soon disappeared into the city.

They would pretend not to have witnessed this internal conflict between the Saint and Saintess, thus offending neither side.

Even so, they still had to worry about being dealt with afterward. Anyway, they wouldn't come out ahead, so being able to save their lives was already excellent.

Lin Chen saw the three leave, and his eyes revealed a clear Killing Intent.

However, he didn't say much more. They were currently in a neutral state. If he threatened to retaliate against them, they would completely side with Jun Mengqing.

At this moment, an alarm suddenly went off in his body, as if some terrifying presence was still rapidly approaching, about to reach him!

He turned his gaze, and a golden bolt of lightning exploded before his eyes. The bright electric light contained violent destructive energy.

His eyes widened, staring intently.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, his defensive Spirit Treasure activated, unleashing dozens of layers of energy barriers that violently collided with the attacking lightning.

The lightning was fierce, striking the energy barriers, which shattered one after another. Under the impact of the violent energy, the Spirit Treasures he had accumulated over so many years broke one after another.

He watched as the electric light in front of him dissipated, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing in front of him—it was Gu Shengge!

He quickly formed a hand seal, and a Substitute Puppet was thrown out, transforming into his likeness and blocking the front.

Gu Shengge struck with his palm, and the lightning was intense, with terrifying lightning energy erupting once again.

“Boom!”

The Substitute Puppet's body was shattered by the palm strike, and the violent energy continued to surge outwards, striking towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen raised his hand, and nine blood-colored swords, emanating Evil Qi, had already condensed around him, swirling rapidly to form a Sword Array around Gu Shengge.

As the Sword Array formed, a sealing force quickly spread outwards, trapping Gu Shengge within it.

Gu Shengge unleashed dozens of lightning energy bolts, which violently collided with the Sword Array barriers around him.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The Spirit Swords hummed, and amidst the crisp sword cries, thousands of Sword Qi raged in the center of the thousand-meter-diameter Sword Array, constantly striking at Gu Shengge.

Sharp sword gleams flickered with a faint light, cutting through the spatial energy condensed by Gu Shengge. The speed of the nine Spirit Swords continuously increased. In an instant, Sword Qi swirled around Gu Shengge, fiercely intertwining with the lightning.

Lin Chen finally trapped Gu Shengge within it, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gritted his teeth and said, “Gu Shengge, this is the Nine Nights Flowing Array, from an ancient Secret Realm. If you can break out of it today, this Saint will admit defeat to you.”

Gu Shengge's double pupils condensed destructive power, suddenly erupting with a dazzling divine light that struck one of the Spirit Swords.

“Clang!”

Under the powerful destructive impact, the Spirit Sword instantly developed countless cracks, like a shattered mirror.

Lin Chen's eyes widened. His Spirit Sword shattered right after he finished boasting. Gu Shengge was deliberately making him lose face!

“Gu Shengge…”

“Do you think that’s all? This is just the beginning!”

Lin Chen quickly formed hand seals, fully activating the Myriad Sword Star Spirit Scripture, and the remaining eight Spirit Swords rapidly transformed.

Sixteen, thirty-two, sixty swords; sword light shone, instantly transforming into thousands of swords.

Sword Qi crisscrossed, shattering clouds, and within a few breaths, filled the sky. Billions of Sword Qi were awe-inspiring, as if to cleave heaven and earth, shatter Chaos, and break through eons of time.

Around Gu Shengge, the world had already changed its scenery, and he was already within an illusion.

His double pupils burst forth with dazzling divine light, and a golden beam swept across the illusory world. The surrounding scenery flashed before his eyes.

This world was, of course, fake, but the swords suspended like stars in the sky were real, filled with chilling Killing Intent.

As Gu Shengge scanned, countless sword lights fell like falling stars, with blazing flames, blurring the illusory space above.

These Spirit Swords pierced through space, arriving in an instant.
