The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2271 Men can’t say no

"boom!"

From the pitch-black depths of the water, a muffled sound suddenly rang out, like a rumble of thunder echoing from the bottom.

The tranquil waters suddenly became turbulent. In the darkness, a terrifying figure abruptly twisted its body, like a massive mountain turning over. At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly surged from the bottom of the water like an erupting volcano, spreading in all directions.

The powerful magical beasts roaming the nearby waters were instantly terrified and turned to flee, as if they would face annihilation if they were even a step too slow.

Lin Chen hovered in mid-air, feeling the terrifying tremors below. He was shocked but also found it inexplicably funny.

Lin Chen didn't know what the Starry Sky Beast looked like, but in his mind he saw a fish that had been pierced by a knife and pinned to a cutting board, struggling to move but unable to budge the knife that had pierced its body.

The Crimson Calamity seemed about to overturn everything, rising up and bursting forth with a blinding light in the dark water. At the same time, Lin Chen felt an incomparably vast sword intent surge up and envelop the entire water area.

Sword Talisman?

Lin Chen leaped into the air and flew upwards along the giant sword.

As soon as he started, Lin Chen saw runes light up on the surface of the enormous sword, the light extending downwards and finally reaching the ground.

No, that's not the ground; that's the thick scales covering the Starry Sky Beast's body, and beneath those scales lies the Starry Sky Beast's enormous body.

The vast and domineering sword energy burst forth from the sword, causing the churning Crimson Calamity to let out a miserable groan.

"You brat, stop dawdling and go look! I'm suffering terribly from moving like this!"

"I'm going, I'm going, just bear with it!"

Lin Chen gave a casual reply, then quickly leaped into the air and headed towards the brightest light.

Although the sword energy was powerful, most of it flowed downwards along the sword and eventually entered Chi Zai's body. Although there was some sword energy overflowing from the sword, its destructive power was not strong and it could not harm Lin Chen.

Although Lin Chen is no match for the Starry Sky Beast or the Sword's master, he is still a Celestial Immortal, only a hair's breadth away from the Great Luo Immortal. To be fair, he is quite powerful in the path of immortality.

Soon, Lin Chen approached the light radiating boundless sword intent. The surrounding water was all pushed aside by an invisible force, allowing Lin Chen to clearly see the sword talisman on the giant sword blade.

The blade of the giant sword was like a sheer cliff with no end in sight, extremely large, but the sword talisman on the blade was not large, only a few dozen square meters in size.

Compared to the entire blade, the sword talisman is like a small bird perched on a cliff or a mosquito stuck to the wall of a house—very inconspicuous. However, the boundless sword intent it exudes always draws people's attention to it immediately.

Lin Chen slowly moved closer to the sword talisman. When he was about 20 or 30 meters away from the blade, the sword intent became increasingly sharp and aggressive.

Lin Chen stopped in his tracks. He could sense that if he continued to approach, this seemingly gentle sword talisman would likely unleash tremendous destructive power, killing him if it got too close. To get closer to the sword talisman, he would have to comprehend its power.

Lin Chen stopped approaching and focused his gaze on the sword talisman.

The surface of the sword talisman radiated a brilliant white light. Lin Chen focused his gaze, looking beyond the white light, and landed on the powerful and vigorous runes behind it.

With just one glance, the rune lines, resembling sword blades, suddenly seemed to come alive, unleashing a terrifying sword intent that was powerful, domineering, and capable of tearing everything apart.

"what!"

Lin Chen let out a miserable scream, tightly closed his eyes, and tears of blood streamed down his face.

Lin Chen stretched out his hands, hugged his head, gritted his teeth, and his face was contorted with pain.

The sword intent of the sword talisman actually followed Lin Chen's gaze and pierced directly into the depths of Lin Chen's mind, as if it wanted to pierce through Lin Chen's head.

After a long while, Lin Chen finally stopped screaming and took his hands off his head.

"How's it going, kid?"

The voice of the Crimson Calamity came from below, with a hint of anticipation in it.

Lin Chen replied, "I only glanced at it, and I almost went blind!"

Chizai's voice betrayed his disappointment: "So you're saying you're no longer capable?"

"Men can't say no."

Lin Chen casually replied, "I'll try again."

Lin Chen flashed into the Linglong Tower, and soon, Lin Chen and Venerable Ziyun appeared in the air together.

This time, Lin Chen used his true form.

A clone is still a clone. Although it's hard to tell the difference between the real and the fake, it's impossible for it to replicate Lin Chen's many characteristics.

"It's a pity Zifeng isn't here. Otherwise, with her talent as a sword spirit, she might have gained something. Be careful, if you look at the sword rune lines behind through the white light, you'll be injured by the sword intent."

After reminding Venerable Ziyun, Lin Chen's sword intent surged, and he focused his gaze once more, looking beyond the white light.
