The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3428 The Last Resort
Ning Hesheng is about to run away!
He maneuvered the Shadow Needle back, while simultaneously controlling the Shadow Demon to retreat.

Lin Chen noticed the moment the Shadow Needle and Shadow Demon moved.

He's going to run!
The most crucial moment has arrived!

Whether or not we can eliminate Ning Hesheng and hide our secrets depends on this gamble!

If he can't defeat him, then Lin Chen will give up on going to the Celestial Realm.

The Gluttonous Divine Tree stretched wildly, enveloping the entire starry sky. Its vines and branches spread continuously, like a woven net of stars.

It wants to surround the entire starry sky!
Even if it only blocks the opponent for a moment, it's still useful!
In a battle between the strong, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

At the same time, the Taotie Divine Tree frantically attacked the Shadow Needle, which was trying to retreat, preventing it from retracting the Shadow Needle, while the flames flying out from the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp were bombarding the Shadow Demon.

The Shadow Needle is Ning Hesheng's natal magic weapon, and he would definitely not want to run away if he didn't take it back. The Shadow Demon is also a great helper, and he would definitely not want to give it up.

That's exactly what we want – you can't bear to part with it!

As long as you don't run, I can wear you down!
Ning Hesheng was truly reluctant to part with it. He frantically activated his magic weapon while rushing forward to intercept the magic weapon and the Shadow Demon.

Lin Chen wasn't about to let him succeed. With a wave of his right hand, countless crystal scorpion tail spike flying swords appeared in the air.

Thousands of flying swords instantly converged into a long river of sword energy, flying towards Ning Hesheng.

He intends to trap his opponent with a sword formation, giving them no chance to escape!
Ning Hesheng opened his eyes wide again, looking at Lin Chen sitting cross-legged on the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Cup.

He was like a god of fire descending to earth, his whole body enveloped in raging flames. Beneath him was the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp, spewing true fire, from which fire dragons flew out incessantly. Lin Chen, on the other hand, was holding a sword incantation, controlling thousands of flying swords to attack him.

Is this the way of the sword?

Or perhaps it's a metal-based supernatural power?
Ning and the stranger were numb.

He had inquired about it before, but had never heard of anyone possessing such amazing abilities. Could it be that this trial participant had been hiding his true abilities all along?
No reason!

I had pulled some strings and inquired carefully beforehand, and I had indeed never heard of anyone with dual or triple spiritual roots. Such people are basically not recommended to participate in the competition for the Great Dao Spirit, because they need multiple Great Dao Spirits to complete their advancement. With this resource, they could easily cultivate two or three saints.

Ning Hesheng quickly summoned a shield that emitted a golden light, the light covered with flashing runes.

Countless flying swords landed on the shield, only to be forcefully deflected. However, the flying swords flowed like a long river, continuously falling onto the barrier. Even though Ning Hesheng kept injecting spiritual power, the light on the barrier was still rapidly dimming.

Ning Hesheng was shocked. This guy's supernatural powers of every attribute were so powerful that he was no match for him at all!

This was hidden so well!
How could any of the trial participants be such a powerful figure?

In this desperate situation, Ning Hesheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, "I know! You're not a Celestial Race trial participant, you're a human!"

Lin Chen was startled, but sneered, "You have quite the imagination. You're so arrogant, thinking you're the strongest among the trial participants. Now that you've discovered you're just a clown, can't you accept the reality?"

Admitting it is impossible for him to admit it. As long as his true colors haven't been exposed, he will never admit it, even if it kills him.

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Demon Needle was trapped tightly, and its flight speed became slower and slower. It seemed that it would be unable to fly back to Ning Hesheng's side.

As more than ten fire dragons swooped down again, amidst the massive explosion of flames, the Shadow Demon, whose species was unknown, let out a silent scream before its body was torn to pieces and gradually dissolved into the flames.

Ning Hesheng wasn't talking nonsense; the Flame Divine Power truly is the nemesis of the Shadow Demon.

Ning Hesheng, assuming Lin Chen possessed a wood elemental root, unleashed the Shadow Demon, only to have it thoroughly subdued. Watching the Shadow Demon die, and then seeing the Shadow Needle entangled and blocked by endless branches and vines, unable to return smoothly, Ning Hesheng was so enraged he nearly vomited blood.

"You forced me!"

Ning Hesheng let out a roar, took out a small sword from his spatial ring, and infused it with spiritual power.

"Whoever you are, go to hell!"

With Ning Hesheng's angry roar, the small sword suddenly erupted with an incredibly terrifying aura. The small sword emitted a red light and flew towards him as fast as lightning.

Countless branches, vines, and flower buds rushed towards Xiao Jian, but as soon as Xiao Jian struck, everything in its path shattered silently.

The small sword flew towards Lin Chen, and Lin Chen's heart sank. This was clearly Ning Hesheng's true trump card.

Judging from its destructive power, it was definitely not something Ning Hesheng could possess. After all, his own strength was in no way inferior to Ning Hesheng's. There was only one answer to how Ning Hesheng could break through his attack like this.

The methods of a sage!

The thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and the Immortal Emperor's Token had already appeared in his hand.

The only way to deal with the methods of a sage is through the methods of a sage.

Lin Chen's own strength was not enough to withstand a Saint's attack. Even with the help of the Linglong Pagoda, Lin Chen was not confident that he could withstand it. Even if he did, he would probably be crippled if not killed.

Lin Chen didn't want to gamble. Besides, they had already fought to this extent, and there was no way Lin Chen would let Ning He leave alive.

The exquisite tower soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light as it headed towards Ning Hesheng.

The endless vines flew towards the small sword, each strike consuming a little energy and reducing its power by a fraction.

Not only that, the fire dragon also surged forth and pounced towards the little sword.

Just as Lin Chen had predicted, these two methods were no match for the terrifying little sword. They were directly shattered by the terrifying energy emanating from the sword before they even made contact with it.

Ning Hesheng looked at the unstoppable advance of the small sword and a cruel, excited smile appeared on his face.

This is a protective measure bestowed upon me by the sage of my sect; it should never be used except in the most dangerous situations.

Now that his Shadow Demon is dead, and even his natal magic weapon is about to be lost, and he himself is trapped, it is unknown whether he can escape. If he doesn't use it now, when will he?
Moreover, Lin Chen possesses the spirit of the Great Dao, which he cannot bear to part with!

Anyway, the five years are almost up. As long as I kill the opponent, I can seize a piece of the Great Dao Spirit from him, which will be considered as completely achieving my goal.

For the rest of the time, I should be careful and avoid conflict with those monstrous individuals. I should just wait for the time to run out and return to the Celestial Realm.

You brat, die!

When you die, I'll take off your hood and see who you really are!

Under Ning Hesheng's expectant gaze, the little sword flew to Lin Chen's front. But at that moment, endless golden light suddenly emanated from Lin Chen's body, and a barrier like a golden eggshell appeared, enveloping Lin Chen within it.

The small sword pierced the golden eggshell, producing a sharp, loud sound.

Ning Hesheng's smile suddenly froze.

The golden eggshell didn't even break!
