The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 783 Ambush
With the lotus seed in his mouth, a cool sensation emanated from it, and Lin Chen's previously somewhat muddled mind suddenly cleared.

It felt a bit like eating a mint, that feeling that suddenly clears your mind.

After a while, Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked at the bronze plate again.

The Dao patterns emitted white light once more, and Lin Chen felt the glare again. However, at that moment, a cool sensation appeared in Lin Chen's eyes, and the stinging sensation was greatly reduced.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and immediately focused his attention to carefully observe the Dao patterns.

This time, he endured it for a full five minutes before his eyes started to sting again.

He closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen before. The images became much clearer and were no longer shrouded in a fog.

Really useful!

Thinking that this was a way to save his life, Lin Chen stayed a few more days, quietly hiding in his room to study the Dao patterns.

This pattern possesses a Daoist charm that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words. Lin Chen also vaguely understood why Tang Li did not teach him directly, but instead let him observe and comprehend it from this bluestone slab.

Some things are useless to just talk about; only when you feel the essence of the Tao and grasp it can you truly achieve the ability to shrink the distance to an inch.

Lin Chen bid farewell to Feng Lan, leaving her a lotus seed, and then quietly left Kunlun Mountain.

After entering the secret realm, Lin Chen stopped and, when no one was around, began to practice the great secret technique of shrinking the earth to an inch.

This training lasted for several days, from being completely bewildered at the beginning to finally making some progress.

As Lin Chen stepped down, spiritual energy surged forth, and a burst of spiritual light appeared. Instantly, spiritual patterns appeared beneath Lin Chen's feet. These spiritual patterns combined to form a miniature array with peculiar spiritual energy fluctuations, like a lotus flower blooming with every step.

Spiritual patterns flowed and light flashed. Lin Chen took a step forward, and the scenery in front of him suddenly zoomed in, as if he had suddenly traversed space.

Looking back, I realized I was already hundreds of meters away from where I had taken the previous step.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Although he couldn't fully unleash the power of the Shrinking Earth technique due to his limited strength, it was already quite effective.

One step covers hundreds of meters, and two or three steps can cover a kilometer. This speed is already quite impressive.

If you really encounter danger, you can use it to escape quickly; it's much faster than flying boats or flying swords.

Most importantly, in a real dangerous situation, others wouldn't have the time to throw out and activate their flying boats. While sword-wielding might look cool, the speed is just so-so. Awesome!
He had originally gone to visit Tang Li with gratitude, wanting to thank her for her help to his family, but he never expected that Tang Li would give him such a wonderful gift.

Judging from what she said, it seems that she was the only one who had studied the Great Secret Technique of Shrinking the Earth into an Inch, and she hadn't passed it on to anyone from Kunlun Mountain. In other words, currently only Tang Li and herself know how to Shrink the Earth into an Inch!
Lin Chen excitedly began to use this mysterious footwork technique repeatedly. The figure was indeed like light and shadow, appearing thousands of meters away in an instant, with a graceful and ethereal movement, like an immortal.

However, Lin Chen stopped abruptly after running only a short distance.

My spiritual energy can't keep up!
Lin Chen is only at the Golden Core stage. He can still use ordinary secret techniques or spells without any problem. However, with a super secret technique like Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, the amount of spiritual energy required for each step is definitely not small. Lin Chen's foundation is weak. After walking like this for a while, his spiritual energy was almost completely drained.

After recovering for a while, Lin Chen threw out the flying boat and continued his journey towards Jade Peak City.

He needed to find out exactly what the clues about the Demon Emperor's Tomb that Qiu Shisan had mentioned were. Previously, he had no interest in entering the Yin-Yang Valley, and even the allure of the Demon Emperor's Tomb wouldn't have made him risk his life. But now that this matter involved his father, he was determined to learn more.

What if he is still alive?
After flying for a day, Lin Chen left the barrier of the Kunlun Mountain cave and headed towards Yufeng City.

The airship moved smoothly and swiftly. As it passed through a valley, a figure rose rapidly from the valley and rushed towards the airship without a sound.

At the same time, a pair of silver dragon scissors flew up, transforming into two beams of light like silver dragons, which directly slashed at the flying boat and Lin Chen in the air.

Lin Chen sat on the flying boat, which blocked his view, but he still noticed the strong fluctuations of spiritual energy below.

In that instant, the hairs on Lin Chen's body stood on end. Almost instinctively, he disregarded the fact that the flying boat was still in the air and leaped into the air, instantly jumping out of the flying boat.

The instant Lin Chen leaped out, the two beams of light transformed from the Silver Dragon Scissors directly annihilated Lin Chen's flying boat.

"Crack!"

The airship's protective array instantly collapsed, and the airship was instantly torn in two by the two silver lights.

If Lin Chen hadn't reacted quickly and jumped off the flying boat to escape, he would have been killed by those two silver lights.

Lin Chen broke out in a cold sweat.

Who would be so ruthless to themselves?
Could it be that a master from Blood Shadow has come to hunt me down?
