The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 668 Let's see how long you can hold out.
As the tree demon let out a mournful cry, countless flying branches, roots, and even the tree roots on the ground seemed to come alive, twisting and turning as they rushed towards Lin Chen.

"retreat!"

Seeing this, Su Mubai immediately flew backward on his sword, quickly approaching the cliff behind him.

Although they couldn't break through and fly away, at least they had their backs to the cliff, so they weren't vulnerable to attacks from both sides.

Now there's only one thing left to do: hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Before you lies an endless ocean of branches, roots, and tendrils; no matter who you are, you can't help but feel incredibly small.

The flames rise.

Intense flames swept out instantly, burning everything that came near to ashes.

Lin Chen stared at the emerald green branch hidden behind him, and roughly guessed that the branch was the tree demon's life force, which was extremely powerful. Chen Bingquan had died from a sneak attack by this emerald green branch.

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Angry shouts rang out in the air, and at the same time, attacks rained down from all directions once again.

Lin Chen released flames again, but the power was much less than before.

The attacks continued to sweep across the land. Lin Chen kept manipulating the fire mirror to set fires, burning all the attacking branches, roots, and tendrils. He gradually appeared to be very tired, and the power of the flames diminished considerably.

Is Lin Chen tired?

He wasn't tired at all!
Su Mubai used his own spiritual energy to strike the ancient bell, while Lin Chen only used the spiritual energy stored in the Water-Fire Mirror. All he did was use his spiritual technique to control the Fire Mirror and set it ablaze.

It's like he's holding a flamethrower, pulling the trigger, and the flame comes out. As long as there's fuel in the fuel tank that comes with the flamethrower, the flame won't stop.

Is it tiring to pull the trigger?
He waited.

Lin Chen was burning the branches that were attacking him head-on, while Su Mubai and Murong Feng were not idle either. Su Mubai drank a pill to restore his spiritual energy and struck the ancient bell from time to time. Murong Feng's flying sword flew all over the sky, constantly killing the fish that escaped.

The tree demon wanted to exhaust Lin Chen completely because Lin Chen's unexpected fire blade attack had severely injured him. Moreover, while everyone else's attacks consumed spiritual energy, his manipulation of these branches and roots also consumed spiritual energy. These were extensions of his body, and as they were constantly being killed, how could he not be injured?

However, after waiting for a long time, the tree demon discovered that although the flames Lin Chen unleashed were much smaller, he was like a fire-breathing machine, with the flames seemingly inexhaustible and endless.

The tree spirit couldn't hold back any longer!

She was also afraid that Lin Chen and his group had attracted powerful reinforcements. She needed to kill these three as soon as possible, seize their magical treasures, and then escape to live somewhere else. Finally, just as Lin Chen set fire to everything in front of him once again, the emerald-green body moved.

Like a bolt of emerald lightning, it instantly pierced through the still-burning flames and directly struck Lin Chen, who was standing at the forefront.

Su Mubai blurted out, "Be careful!"

Lin Chen remained completely calm in the face of this deadly attack; in fact, a slight smile even appeared on his lips.

You finally fell for it!

Lin Chen suddenly flipped the Water-Fire Mirror in his hand, turning it into a Water Mirror in front of him. The water rippled and the light was hazy. A blue wave of light shot out instantly, along with an extremely cold pillar of air.

Where the cold air passed, the still-burning flames were instantly extinguished, and everything was frozen into ice sculptures.

The emerald green branch was about to pierce Lin Chen when it was hit squarely by the pillar of icy air, instantly freezing him and losing its momentum for a rapid attack. It remained frozen stiff in mid-air.

The tree spirit let out a terrified scream, for she instantly felt most of her body being frozen, completely out of control!
The burning flames stung her, but the icy cold, while not painful, filled her with even greater terror.

She frantically flung the emerald green branch, trying to pull it back into the tree trunk, but Lin Chen wouldn't give her that chance.

The reason for using cold air is to completely freeze it and slow it down, firstly to reduce its power to attack itself, and secondly to slow down its escape speed.

It's like you're extending your arm to hit someone, and suddenly you lose all feeling from your fist to your shoulder. Can you still attack swiftly or retract your fist?

Lin Chen flipped the Water-Fire Mirror again, and flames flickered on the fire mirror. A hundred-meter-long fire blade appeared again, flashing through the air and instantly arriving at the root of the emerald green branch. It flashed past, neatly severing it, and then plunged into its trunk again.

"what!"

The tree demon let out a deafening scream.

She never imagined that everything Lin Chen had done before was an act!
His attack was just as fierce as the first one he had unleashed, without any reduction in intensity. Even though she was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, first the tree trunk was almost cut in half at the waist, and now her life force had been cleaved in two by Lin Chen. Then her body was hit by a fierce fire blade, which was a double injury.

A large amount of green blood sprayed from the broken branch, and the tree demon twisted wildly, with countless branches and roots rushing towards Lin Chen and the others as if it had gone mad.

The tree spirit is going crazy.

She was determined to kill those three people at all costs!
That arsonist must die!
