The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1431 Why did I save her?

Lin Chen was also surprised that Min Huakun would dare to openly launch a sneak attack on him. Under normal circumstances, he might have been able to dodge, but at this moment, he had devoted all his energy to fighting against the lightsaber, so he had no energy left.
Lin Chen gritted his teeth, determined to withstand the attack.

With a body made of steel, I shouldn't be able to be killed outright, right?
Just as Lin Chen was about to shield himself from the dark light, a petite figure suddenly darted out from the side and stood directly behind him.

"Ding!"

"what!"

The dark light released by Min Huakun struck the meteorite iron flying sword that Shu Zifeng was blocking in front of him.

The meteorite iron flying sword was made of excellent material. The dark light did not shatter the flying sword, but the powerful force contained within it was instantly transmitted to the meteorite iron flying sword, causing it to fly back violently and crash into Shu Zifeng's chest.

Min Huakun is a True Immortal in the early stage, with formidable strength. Even if it was just a sneak attack and not his full strength, how could Shu Zifeng, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, possibly withstand it?
In an instant, countless bones in Shu Zifeng's body broke. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground in front of Lin Chen, where he immediately lost consciousness.

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Zifeng!"

Lin Chen let out a low roar, and his sword energy suddenly surged, instantly suppressing the lightsaber that Lin Chen had grabbed.

The sword energy on the lightsaber quickly disappeared and then transformed into a soft ball of light.

At the same time, Min Huakun's body flew out and crashed heavily to the ground.

No attack landed on him, but his body seemed to be pinned to the ground by a javelin, completely unable to move.

The young man sitting on the shoulder of the white jade statue coldly glanced at Min Huakun, then his gaze returned to Lin Chen. He nodded and smiled, "See? I told you, only the destined one can withstand this sword strike. The ball of light in your hand is that opportunity. Now that you have caught it, you can accept this inheritance..."

As soon as the young man said this, everyone's eyes turned to the ball of light in Lin Chen's hand, filled with envy.

Lin Chen, a human immortal, actually managed to withstand this sword strike!
What's the reason?
Even those at the True Immortal Realm couldn't withstand this sword strike before, so why was Lin Chen able to?
Destined person?
What are the criteria for finding a soulmate?
Did they release the water?
Lin Chen didn't even glance at the quietly floating ball of light in front of him. He immediately turned around and saw that Min Huakun was being suppressed to the ground by an invisible force. He then squatted down to check on Shu Zifeng's condition.

Shu Zifeng wasn't completely dead yet, but she was close to it.

Not to mention Shu Zifeng's physical body, even his primordial spirit was almost directly killed by the shock.

Even though Min Huakun attacked by surprise, he was still a true immortal, someone Shu Zifeng couldn't possibly withstand. She couldn't save him!
Even with the Life Pearl, it wouldn't save them!

Shu Zifeng is about to die!
Lin Chen turned his head and bowed to the young man, saying, "Senior, could you please heal my disciple? I will repay this kindness in the future."

The young man replied languidly, "She's your disciple, not mine. Why should I save her?"

Lin Chen was extremely anxious, but he also knew that the other party had no obligation to help save people. His mind raced: "I took this sword strike. According to the senior's intention, I am now qualified to inherit this opportunity. So I can be considered the senior's successor. She was injured while protecting me, so she can be considered one of us..."

The young man smiled: "First, it's just a chance encounter, but that doesn't mean you're my successor. Becoming my successor isn't that easy. Second, she got hurt protecting you; it has nothing to do with me. Third, even if it's a matter of inheritance, it's yours. If you were injured, I would naturally save you. She's not..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How can I accept this opportunity?"

The young man smiled: "Just absorb it into your consciousness."

"Thanks for the guidance, senior!"

Lin Chen reached out and gathered the ball of light emitting a soft white glow in the air. He glanced down at the dying Shu Zifeng, then turned and shot the ball of light directly into Shu Zifeng's brow.

The young man was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Chen, who had sent the ball of light into Shu Zifeng's sea of ​​consciousness, bowed again and said respectfully, "Senior, Shu Zifeng has inherited this opportunity, but she is now in critical condition. Please, senior, lend a helping hand..."

Everyone then came to their senses, their gazes towards Lin Chen filled with shock.

He actually gave up such an opportunity, enough to dominate the Immortal Realm, to Shu Zifeng just to save him!

The young man's gaze held a strange quality: "This opportunity is unique; even I cannot replicate it. I can understand your deep bond with your master, but do you know what you've given up?"

Lin Chen remained calm, his gaze unwavering: "With the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the consequences of taking a direct hit from a True Immortal. Yet, she did it without hesitation. Compared to her actions, what is my giving up an opportunity? Besides, this opportunity might have originally belonged to her..."
