The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3405 Even a cornered prey will bite!

Is this person asking for help or trying to escape?

If it were a matter of running away, Lin Chen wouldn't mind. He could just run away; after all, he was there to help and relieve Bai Yuxingjun's crisis.

If you ask for help and get reinforcements, things will become more complicated.

Who knows if they'll call for help and a whole bunch of people will come, and the more we fight, the more people will join in. In that case, the three of us will be the ones who suffer.

The token flashed with golden light, and a portal appeared behind him, from which a figure emerged.

The moment the figure appeared, Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine.

What the hell!

How could it be Huo Ling Shuang?
Lin Chen sent a mental imprint to Bai Yuxingjun, and at the same time quickly transmitted his voice to Bai Yuxingjun: "This is someone we can't afford to offend, run!"

Although Baiyu Xingjun did not know why Lin Chen said such a thing, he did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved his magic weapon, and the next second, he disappeared from the sky.

Without hesitation, Lin Chen instantly released the Linglong Pagoda, trapping the equally frightened Sun Yixiao inside. Then, in the next second, he vanished without a trace.

The burly man was momentarily stunned as he watched the three who had gained the upper hand escape without a trace.

"What's going on? How come they're running so fast?"

Huo Ling Shuang received the distress signal and just as it was transmitted, he first saw Bai Yu Xing Jun in front of him, and then saw Lin Chen and Sun Yi Xiao in the distance.

However, before Huo Ling Shuang could even unleash her magic weapon, Lin Chen and the other two had already fled as if they had seen a ghost, giving her no chance to intercept them.

Huo Ling Shuang's pretty face was icy cold: "I've met them before."

The burly man asked in surprise, "The three of them?"

Huo Ling Shuang shook her head: "The two further away, my phoenix hairpin is still in their hands."

The burly man was taken aback: "They possess such strength, yet they managed to steal your magic weapon?"

Huo Ling Shuang explained, "The short one is of average strength, but he has a bag that can devour magical artifacts and then sever the connection between the artifacts and their owners. The young man is very strong and possesses an eight-armed Arhat phenomenon with astonishing power. Moreover, he seems to be performing a star jump."

The burly man's eyes lit up: "Starry Sky Jump, so even the people of the lower realms possess the spirit of the star map?"

Huo Ling Shuang replied, "I'm not sure, but it's pretty close."

The burly man laughed heartily: "Then capturing them would make us rich! A powerful lower-class slave is worth a lot of money, but a Star Chart Spirit is an immense opportunity..."

Huo Ling Shuang frowned and said, "He's not easy to catch."

The burly man said confidently, "Even if Jin Yuan and Ning Hesheng joined forces, they couldn't stop me, let alone anyone else, if I, Tuoba Peng, and you, Huo Ling Shuang, were to join forces.

"This guy is just relying on his speed. Next time you see him, cast Anti-Air Magic Ball immediately. As long as he can't use Star Jump, they won't be able to escape our pursuit."

Huo Ling Shuang coldly said, "He is mine!" Tuoba Peng frowned, staring at Huo Ling Shuang and said, "You want to keep the Star Chart Spirit for yourself?"

Huo Ling Shuang paused for a few seconds: "If I take him down on my own, everything he has will naturally belong to me. If I ask for your help, after I take him down, I will take the Star Chart Spirit, and the rest will be yours. If you encounter him again like today, summon me here, and after I take him down, the Star Chart Spirit will be yours, and the rest will be mine."

Tuoba Peng snapped his fingers: "Deal!"

After a pause, Tuoba Peng asked, "Did you cast the Anti-Air Magic Ball on him?"

Huo Ling Shuang replied, "I have used the Devouring Heaven Golden Ring."

Tuoba Peng suddenly realized: "Your Devouring Heaven Golden Ring is not easy to deal with. If you're not careful, you'll lose your magic weapon. No wonder he turned and ran as soon as he saw you come out. This kid is quite decisive."

Huo Ling Shuang said in a deep voice, "That kid is strong and decisive. Now that he's here, he'll definitely head to the training ground. We still have a chance to catch him."

Tuoba Peng's eyes lit up: "That's true. With such strength, who wouldn't take a gamble? Besides, he also has Star Jump. If he can't win, he can just run away. Apart from you, no one else can do anything to him."

"Hehe, thinking about it this way, once he goes to the training grounds, he'll definitely run into us in the end, and that will be his doom. Sigh, wait a minute..."

Tuoba Peng frowned and said, "They come from the lower realm, but they don't have any guiding magic treasures. The star field is so vast, how did they find the training ground?"

Huo Ling Shuang said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate them just because they come from the lower realm. Their strength and methods are no less than yours or mine. Before meeting me, they had already met other trial participants and extracted a lot of information from them."

"Even if he can't find the training ground within a year, he will definitely arrive after a year."

Tuoba Peng understood Huo Ling Shuang's subtext: "You mean he hunts down trial participants and steals the guiding magic treasures?"

Huo Ling Shuang nodded: "That was bound to happen. They were our targets, but when prey is cornered, it will bite. That kid is strong and bold, he won't just sit and wait to die."

Tuoba Peng crossed his arms and rubbed them together a few times, then laughed and said, "Now that you mention it, that kid didn't even use his full strength when he attacked me earlier. How interesting! He held back when fighting against me, Tuoba Peng. He's looking down on me. I need to find a chance to have a proper fight with him!"

Huo Ling Shuang sneered, "What have you discovered here?"

Tuoba Peng's gaze fell on the void, the playful expression on his face vanished, and he said seriously, "I have searched for many traces, and the battle traces in this starry sky are particularly obvious. I think we may not be far from the trial grounds."

Huo Ling Shuang nodded: "I think so too. In any case, finding the training ground first gives us the advantage. Otherwise, we will have to face many opponents a year from now."

Tuoba Peng nodded and said, "Let's continue our search. It will be slower, but as long as we're heading in the right direction, we'll eventually get there."

After a pause, Tuoba Peng suddenly asked, "Where did you meet that kid before?"

Huo Ling Shuang was very clever and instantly understood the meaning behind Tuoba Peng's question: "The place where I bumped into them is very far from here. Do you mean that they may have also followed the battlefield traces to get here?"

Tuoba Peng laughed and said, "The star field is so vast, it's not that easy to just bump into someone."

Huo Ling Shuang thought for a moment: "Indeed, the chance of it being a coincidence is not high, which means we've all thought of the same thing. But now there are three of them..."

Tuoba Peng didn't care at all: "Three people it is. With the two of us joining forces, are we afraid of them? Aren't you that old codger who's just there to make up the numbers?"

Huo Ling Shuang thought it made sense. That guy couldn't even beat her own Heavenly Demon Serpent. As long as she was careful and didn't let him use that bag to carry her magic treasures, how could the other two possibly beat her and Tuoba Peng together?
Next time we meet, I'll definitely use the Anti-Air Magic Ball right away. Let's see how you run then!
