The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2860 Are you hiding something, trying to avoid seeing anyone?

In response to Lin Chen's reminder, Zhen Liuxue smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, with me here, he can't hurt you in the slightest."

Lin Chen immediately felt relieved and smiled, "Thank you, senior."

Zhen Liuxue smiled slightly: "Why are you being so polite? This is what you deserve."

The hood obscured the face of the man in black robes, but everyone could sense that he was staring intently at Zhen Liuxue, his killing intent surging.

"I'd like to see if you can stop me!"

The black-robed man's aura surged, and he pointed a finger at the ancient blue bell. A halo emanated from the blue bell, rapidly spreading towards them. Behind the halo was a hazy blue mist, which looked ethereal but gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.

The power of the domain!

Lin Chen immediately understood that the man in black robes was frantically unleashing his domain power in an attempt to suppress Zhen Liuxue. Once the domain was suppressed, his supernatural abilities would be difficult to execute and would be greatly reduced in power.

He was challenging Zhen Liuxue to a fundamental level. If Zhen Liuxue's strength was not as great as his and her domain power was suppressed, then her time-based divine ability would not be so wondrous, leaving him helpless.

Zhen Liuxue frowned. The time-based supernatural power was incredibly profound, the most mysterious of all supernatural powers. However, no matter how profound it was, it could not bypass the principles of supernatural powers.

If the domain is suppressed, then the time-manipulation technique will be difficult to use, putting the user at a significant disadvantage.

Zhen Liuxue crossed her arms, her aura suddenly changed, and invisible ripples spread outwards from their location like waves.

Zhen Liuxue did not recklessly expand her domain; she merely protected the area around everyone.

The azure halo frantically tried to invade the invisible waves, but although those waves were invisible, they possessed magical abilities. Wave after wave of halo crashed into the waves, as if disappearing into the river of time, leaving no trace.

At the same time, the token in Gong Jianying's hand shone brighter and brighter.

The interplay of domain power continued for several breaths. Although the halo had gotten very close to everyone, it was blocked by the ripples and could not advance any further.

The man in black robes grew impatient and once again unleashed his black staff, smashing it down with earth-shattering force.

The invisible ripples around Zhen Liuxue suddenly surged, like a river overflowing, and rushed directly towards the black stick.

Perhaps it was the clash of domain powers that exhausted most of Zhen Liuxue's energy. This time, the black stick did not disappear directly, but instead slammed down hard.

A strange thing happened: the blow was so powerful that it struck the ripples, and as the ripples continued to dissipate, the immense energy attached to the black stick also began to collapse.

Although this strike was ridiculously powerful, it couldn't unleash its true power, as if it were stuck in a quagmire, possessing a violent ability but unable to display it.

Seeing this, the man in black waved his hand to recall the black staff, glanced at Lin Chen, and then turned to leave.

He had already probed the enemy's defenses and found that although they hadn't attacked, their defense was impenetrable. If he wanted to fight them to a draw, he would probably have to fight a war of attrition.

However, he couldn't afford to waste time. This wasn't his home turf, and once his identity was exposed, there would be endless trouble and danger. Most importantly, if he was targeted, how could he complete his mission?
However, just as he was about to take his first step, ripples suddenly appeared in the void above everyone, and then, as if a canvas had been torn open, Wen Mengsheng stepped out from the middle.

When Gong Jianying saw Wen Mengsheng arrive, his eyes lit up with joy, and he shouted, "Senior brother, this man in black robes is a quasi-saint, he's going to kill us!" When Wen Mengsheng saw that Gong Jianying and Lin Chen were both unharmed, his expression relaxed slightly, but his originally gentle eyes suddenly turned sharp.

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, the man in black robes turned and left without saying a word!

Wen Mengsheng said coldly, "Are you being so secretive that you can't face anyone? Why don't you stay and have a chat?"

The man in black ignored Wen Mengsheng and turned to run away. Wen Mengsheng transformed into golden light and disappeared instantly, his words lingering in the air.

"I'll be right back, I'll come find you later."

The man in black robes and Wen Mengsheng vanished instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm finally alive.

Although Su Hao and Dai Yunshen were both peak Great Luo Immortals, they had never encountered such a dangerous situation. After all, Quasi-Saints were all people of importance, and who would attack them without a clue?

Even if you need their help with weapon crafting, you should be polite and courteous. How can they come up here and kidnap, extort, threaten people to help with weapon crafting, and then kill them to silence them?
Zhen Liuxue withdrew her hand, raised it, glanced at it, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Lin Chen asked with delight, "Senior, are you recovering quite well?"

Zhen Liuxue nodded: "It's much better than I expected. Give me some more time, and besides recovering to my peak physical condition, my control over time may reach an even higher level."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's great news! Congratulations, senior."

Zhen Liuxue turned to look at Lin Chen and smiled gently: "I have to thank you. Without you, I would have died long ago. Even if I hadn't died, I would be an old woman with wrinkles all over my face, not like I am now."

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen exchanged a glance after hearing the conversation between the two, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

This peerless quasi-saint actually lived in Lin Chen's personal magic treasure and accompanied him all the way. Moreover, she said that she was only able to survive because of Lin Chen.
Lin Chen is a real hidden talent!

There's a reason why this kid is valued by Master Taixu.

I originally thought he was just a promising young talent appreciated by Master Taixu, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

They had only survived thanks to Lin Chen. Without this beautiful quasi-saint, even if they had escaped, they would not have been able to escape death.

"Sect Master Su Hao of the Star River Sect, thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist!"

“Dai Yunshen, the vice sect master of the Heavenly Fire Sect, will do his utmost to fulfill any requests you may have in the future.”

Zhen Liuxue waved her hand and said, "Don't thank me, thank Lin Chen instead. He saved my life, and I'm just repaying his kindness."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Seniors, please don't stand on ceremony. You are my teachers, so we're practically family. We're all in the same boat. Please don't blame me for not telling you this beforehand. Senior Zhen was injured and has been recuperating. Every day that was delayed, she recovered a little more..."

Su Hao and Dai Yuansheng nodded to indicate that they understood. They were just grateful to be alive; who would complain?
Su Hao frowned, recalling his conversation with the man in black earlier: "I tricked him and found out his identity. He seemed very nervous and even tried to kill us to silence us. What kind of identity does he have that requires such nervousness?"
