The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1426 You Cheated, Kid

Min Huakun's robes were tattered and torn, covered in blood, revealing bare bones and a significant amount of missing flesh.

Half of his face was gone, leaving only dark red flesh and white teeth visible. The other half of his face was also pitted and covered in bloodstains, making him look like a hellish demon with half a skull face.

what happened to him?
Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the metal block array he had just passed. Could it be that Zifeng had given him the wrong directions, which was why he ended up like this?

When Shu Zifeng saw Lin Chen, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He quickly got up from the ground and ran over.

"Master, you're here!"

Lin Chen looked her up and down and found that she was completely unharmed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to him?"

Shu Zifeng replied in a low voice, "The blueprints I gave him before were wrong. When he crossed the Immortal Crossing Bridge, I had already crossed the metal block array. He chased after me and then stepped into the wrong place, almost dying inside."

“He was so angry that he wanted to kill me on the spot, so I told him that I had already joined the White Crane Immortal Sect and was his disciple, and that the sect leader was my senior brother. In front of everyone, he didn’t dare to make a move, so he came and sat down next to me. I guessed that he was looking for an opportunity to cause trouble.”

Lin Chen glanced at the crowd but didn't see Guan Xinyue. He asked, "Where's Guan Xinyue?"

Shu Zifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his face: "She and Min Huakun went through the formation together. After Min Huakun was severely injured, he used Guan Xinyue as a stepping stone. Guan Xinyue was directly struck by lightning and turned into ashes, her body and soul destroyed. But it was precisely because of this that Min Huakun survived. Otherwise, the two of them might have died."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Well done. Guan Xinyue will probably regret passing the message to Min Huakun, which led to Min Huakun kidnapping you. And Min Huakun will definitely regret letting you draw the diagrams..."

Shu Zifeng pursed his lips: "Sooner or later, as long as I live, none of them will escape!"

Lin Chen hummed in agreement: "What's the situation now?"

Shu Zifeng shook his head: "Someone said one word earlier, 'Wait'."

Lin Chen recalled the "Huh?" he had just heard and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you see anyone?"

"No."

Shu Zifeng replied in a low voice, "Everyone guesses that it should be the primordial spirit avatar of the owner of this place. He must be a very powerful person. Since we are told to wait, naturally no one dares to move."

Lin Chen nodded and chose a spot on the side to sit cross-legged.

Shu Zifeng moved to Lin Chen's side and sat cross-legged comfortably, her previously uneasy heart suddenly calming down.

Min Huakun glared at Lin Chen with venomous eyes. He hated Lin Chen even more than Shu Zifeng. If Lin Chen hadn't interfered, this matter would have been completely resolved long ago. There wouldn't have been so much mess afterward, and he wouldn't be in this inhuman state he is now.

If he had to choose between Lin Chen and Shu Zifeng to kill, he would choose Lin Chen without hesitation!

Ignoring Min Huakun's resentful gaze, Lin Chen sat calmly cross-legged, waiting quietly.

There were still more than twenty people present. If this was the final selection, and a chosen one had to be chosen from among so many people, the probability was still not high, but it was much higher than before.

And so, another two days passed.

Many cultivators remained calm, after all, they were all immortals who had been in seclusion for years, or even hundreds of years.

A beam of light appeared silently on the shoulder of the huge white jade statue. Judging from its appearance, it was the white jade statue itself. It was sitting there casually, with one foot on the white jade statue and the other foot hanging in mid-air.

"We were hoping for some exceptional geniuses, but instead a bunch of people just came to make up the numbers..."

The sudden sound startled everyone, causing them to abruptly look up.

Upon seeing the young man who looked exactly like the white jade statue, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

It really is a clone of the primordial spirit!
It seems he must be the owner of this place, since the white jade statue standing here is of himself.

However, upon hearing the young man's assessment of them, everyone's mood suddenly became strange.

Just to make up the numbers?
Although the people here may not be considered peerless geniuses, aren't they all outstanding talents of their respective sects?

If someone else had said this, everyone would have been unable to resist refuting it, but now everyone has tacitly kept quiet.

Who can argue with someone being so capable?
Although we don't know the other party's identity and strength, could someone who can build such a place be an ordinary immortal?

He should at least be a celestial being, or even above that, right?
The young man's gaze fell on Lin Chen: "In the third trial, everyone else used the techniques and sword skills I left behind to deal with it, but you cheated and just toughed it out..."

Min Huakun suddenly became excited, and a deep malice of schadenfreude rose in his eyes.

Lin Chen calmly cupped his hands in greeting: "The instructions left by the senior for breaking through the barrier only prohibit the use of defensive magic treasures, but there is no rule against using one's own abilities to break through. Besides, if I use my own abilities to break through, doesn't that mean I'm even more powerful?"
