The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1536 No need to worry, only one of us can live!
At the summit of the mountains, Lin Chen stopped, looked back, and then plunged into the dense forest below.

Zhong Quan arrived from behind and followed closely behind into the dense forest.

Lin Chen took out the Whirlwind Flag and released Lei Zhenxiu and Yao Xuanji. Then he immediately used the Life and Death Technique, placing a death seal on each of them to conceal their life force.

Zhong Quan was surprised to find his life force suddenly disappearing. When he looked at Lin Chen again, his eyes held a strange look.

He never expected that, facing such a terrible calamity and a seemingly inescapable predicament, it would be Lin Chen who broke through the deadly situation and led everyone to safety.

He knew the origin of that sword energy, and that it had slain peak True Immortals and peak Golden Immortals, but today's terrifying attack still made him tremble.

too strong!
These three sword energies were merely gifts from Li Yongzhi's clone to Lin Chen. If the clone was this strong, how powerful must the real Li Yongzhi be?

Lei Zhenxiu collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, her eyes filled with shock and shame as she looked at Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen run towards the other party and utter words of surrender, she believed him instantly, and then became angry. After all, in her understanding, wasn't it normal for cultivators to do such things in order to survive?

Her anger stemmed from the fact that her mistress had fallen for Lin Chen, only to be betrayed by him.

Now, thinking back to her mistress's sudden shout, she realized that the same behavior would be seen as betrayal by her, but by her mistress, she knew what Lin Chen was about to do and instantly provided the most appropriate cooperation, attracting their attention and allowing Lin Chen to strike the target.

"Lin Chen, I'm sorry!"

Lei Zhenxiu ignored her own injuries and apologized to Lin Chen first.

Lin Chen was taken aback and asked curiously, "Why did you apologize to me, senior?"

Lei Zhenxiu said in a low voice, "When I saw you using your scheme to get close to them just now, I thought you were really afraid of dying, betraying Miss, and surrendering on your own initiative..."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and laughed, "What's there to apologize for? It just shows that I acted convincingly. If I can't even fool my own people, how can I fool the enemy?"

Lin Chen took out the Life-Giving Pearl: "Let me heal your injuries first."

Lin Chen placed the Life-Giving Pearl on Lei Zhenxiu's body, adjusted the position of her broken bones, and then injected a large amount of immortal spiritual energy.

Lei Zhenxiu's injuries healed quickly. Although the effect of the Life-Giving Pearl on the immortal body was weakened considerably, it was still effective, only the treatment time was longer.

Lei Zhenxiu watched in amazement as her bones gradually healed and the injuries to her internal organs rapidly subsided. "What kind of magic weapon is this? Its healing effect is amazing!"

Lin Chen replied, "The Life-Giving Pearl is the treasure of a certain cultivation sect in the Wilderness Realm, which I obtained by chance."

Yao Xuanji was already aware of Lin Chen's methods, so she wasn't surprised at all. She just stared at Lin Chen and said softly, "I've dragged you down this time. You've used up your last life-saving measure..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's not a burden at all. If you hadn't come to me and had just quietly gone to the South China Sea, you might not have been targeted. No matter the reason, we're all fine now, which is for the best. As for magic weapons and sword energy, we can just find more after we've used them."

After a pause, Lin Chen added with a smile, "You know, I've always been very lucky and I always manage to run into some good things."

Yao Xuanji thought for a moment and said, "When we get to the South Sea, even if Ao Li is unwilling to stand on the side of the Immortal Palace, I will use my father's connections to ask him to give you some means to protect your life."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "For example, how about three more sword energies?"

Yao Xuanji said seriously, "That's also possible, but although Ao Li is powerful, she is not as good as Senior Li. The power of her sword energy is far inferior. If we encounter a situation like today again, she may not be able to defeat her opponent."

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I'm just an unknown nobody. How could someone so powerful possibly try to kill me? You don't need to worry about me. It's best to get him on the side of the Immortal Palace. The important thing is to prioritize the greater good."

Yao Xuanji did not argue: "Let's see him first and then talk about it."

Lin Chen brought up the topic back to Wei Jiao: "Wei Jiao led the team herself today, and those people seemed to follow her orders. Are they all from the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"They're hiding their true identities, probably because they're afraid to reveal them."

Yao Xuanji said coldly, "She clearly believes she can kill me this time; otherwise, she certainly wouldn't have shown herself..."

After a pause, Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with worry and apology: "Your actions today are tantamount to standing against the Heavenly Dao Alliance. You killed their Celestial Immortal; this enmity is immense and will likely bring you countless dangers in the future..."

Although Lin Chen knew this was a huge problem, he wouldn't change his decision even if he had to do it a thousand times over, so he couldn't really regret it.

“Back then, I saved you in the Wilderness Realm. From that moment on, Wei Jiao and I were destined to be mortal enemies. She ignored me only because she didn’t know my background. If she had known that I was the one who saved you, I would naturally be the one she would kill. There would be no need for today’s events.”

Lin Chen spread his hands, his smile calm: "You see, things are as they were, nothing has changed. We will fight her to the bitter end, until we are dead..."
