The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 641 What is your relationship with the Peak Master?
After finishing the second pot of wine, Lin Chen asked, "Would you like another pot?"

Situ Xiu wiped her mouth and laughed, "I'm not drinking anymore, let's fight first, others have been waiting for ages."

"also."

Lin Chen called over the waiter, settled the bill, which came to ten spirit stones.

This meal was equivalent to a month's salary.

Liu Qiang and his two companions ate quite quickly. As soon as Lin Chen and Sima Xiu stood up, they followed suit.

Lin Chen ignored them and went downstairs with Sima Xiu.

Lin Chen turned his head and smiled at Situ Xiu: "See you next time?"

Situ Xiu smiled and said, "Are you preparing to return to your cave? How about I go and familiarize myself with the place?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

Both of them are intelligent people, and some things don't need to be said too explicitly; they both understand each other.

The two chatted as they left the market, followed by Gu Li and the other two with cold eyes. Once they were a little further away from the market, Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu caught up and blocked their way.

Lin Chen stopped and looked at Gu Li: "You want my cave dwelling too?"

Gu Li smiled and said, "Let's make a deal. If you're willing to give up your cave, I won't hold their matter against you, and I'll even give you some compensation."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We're all cultivators, and you know the value of a good cave dwelling. Do you think I'd give it to you?"

Gu Li gave a cold laugh: "Since that's the case, then we'll have to have a discussion."

Lin Chen casually asked, "Weren't the cave dwellings arranged by the peak master? How can they be exchanged and transferred privately?"

Gu Li replied, "It's a private, voluntary exchange; no one will interfere."

Lin Chen said "Oh" and laughed, "Okay, let's keep it simple then. If you beat me, I'll give you the cave dwelling. But if you can't beat me, I won't kill you. You can just stay at home and lie down for three years."

Gu Li's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze became serious: "You seem very confident."

Lin Chen stopped talking, but reached out and beckoned to Gu Li with his finger.

Gu Li had heard from Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu that Lin Chen was not good at flying swords, so he immediately showed off his own flying sword, preparing to use its agility to defeat Lin Chen.

Situ Xiu stepped aside, but he also revealed his flying sword, which floated in front of him, ready to strike at any moment.

The flying sword arrived like a swift wind, arriving in an instant.

With the Three Provinces Sword in hand, Lin Chen casually flicked his wrist, and the flying sword immediately seemed to have been struck at its vital point, its fierce attack instantly weakening. Lin Chen followed the sword's movement and took his first step forward.

Gu Li's expression was solemn as he brandished his sword. The flying sword danced through the air with unparalleled sharpness, but every time it got close, it was blocked by the Three Provinces Sword, preventing him from breaking through.

Lin Chen drew his sword, took a step forward, and walked towards Gu Li step by step. Sweat beaded on Gu Li's forehead as he asked in a deep voice, "What is your relationship with the Peak Master?"

Lin Chen blinked: "Guess?"

A hint of fear flickered in Gu Li's eyes: "You're the Peak Master's disciple?"

Now it was Lin Chen's turn to be stunned.

He could obscure his relationship with the peak master, but when Guli asked him this question so precisely, he dared not impersonate him, nor would he attempt to do so.

"I'm not."

Gu Li asked in surprise, "Isn't what you used the Peak Master's Three-Foot Sword Curtain?"

A three-foot sword curtain?

Lin Chen subconsciously asked, "What is that?"

Situ Xiu chimed in, explaining, "The Peak Master's ultimate technique is the Three-Foot Sword Curtain. It is said that with one sword in hand, one is invincible for three feet. No one at the same level can break through her Three-Foot Sword Curtain. Her defensive ability is unparalleled in the world."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. He had been wondering if there were any techniques suitable for sword-wielding defense, but he hadn't expected there to be one, and this person was right beside him.

Qiao Wei, the master of Flying Waterfall Peak.

I must ask for your guidance if I have the chance. I wonder if the peak master would be willing to give me some pointers.

"Oh, I'm not good at controlling my flying sword, so I can only use it for close-range defense. There's nothing I can do about it. It's nothing compared to the Peak Master's ultimate techniques."

Lin Chen was telling the truth. The reason he achieved this effect was not because he knew the Three-Foot Sword Curtain, nor because his defense was particularly good, but because his strength had an overwhelming and absolute advantage over Gu Li. The force of his light sword strike was enough to slow down the flying sword for half a day, making it difficult for the flying sword to move smoothly, which naturally made defense much easier.

If it were an opponent at the same Golden Core stage, his defense wouldn't be so easy.

Lin Chen agreed verbally, but his feet moved swiftly, closing in on Gu Li in the blink of an eye.

Gu Li's forehead was covered in sweat. He had vaguely realized that something was wrong. The opponent's strength was not at all like that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Even someone at the late Foundation Establishment stage couldn't possibly withstand his flying sword attack so easily, and could still press forward step by step as if strolling leisurely.

Gu Li retreated in a panic, but Lin Chen slapped the flying sword away with his sword, then suddenly exerted force with his feet, appearing in front of Gu Li like a cannonball and throwing a punch.

Gu Li's expression changed drastically. A flash of dark light appeared in his hand, revealing a small, round, dark blue shield with intricate and simple patterns on it, and a faint shimmering light.

"boom!"

Lin Chen punched the small round shield.
