I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 2284 Chase and Escape

The fair-skinned man cast his third talisman.

A huge silver bottle immediately appeared in the void, its mouth facing Chen Lin, and a thick silver beam of light shot out from it.

Extremely fast.

Furthermore, it possesses the power of locking onto targets, leaving Chen Lin with no chance to dodge; he was struck in an instant.

But Chen Lin remained calm.

The nine layers of armor operated on their own, blocking the attack, and only managed to break through the seventh layer.

See this.

Chen Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The defense of the Nine-Layer Armor increases with each layer. This treasure of the opponent's is clearly of the Dominator level, but it only broke through seven layers, which means that after he successfully dispelled the soul, the power of his natal rune increased significantly.

It has the ability to resist the ruler.

While not invincible, it is enough to cope with the current situation, and even in the future, when facing the main force of Tianhu Fishermen, it will not be without any room to fight back.

All indications suggest that although the true cultivation level of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman may be at the third level of the Dominator realm, most of his power is focused on the clone that joined the Four Seasons Manor, and his true body is not very strong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be trapped inside the border river.

"Humph."

Chen Lin gave a soft snort.

"It's only polite to reciprocate, so take my move too!"

The words have not yet fallen.

She then pointed three fingers at the fair-skinned man.

The fair-skinned man dared not be careless and immediately used his skills to counteract the Soul-Destroying Finger's light.

However, Chen Lin's main target was not him.

It was the woman.

After unleashing the Soul-Destroying Finger, Chen Lin activated the Soul Master's intimidating power with a thought.

The soul release was successful, and the Soul Master's inheritance could now be invoked. The intimidating effect was multiplied many times over, causing the woman to momentarily lose her composure.

In that instant, her life was taken.

The crystal needle, which had long been hidden on the nearby runes, flashed and pierced through the other person's brow, then disappeared back into the surrounding runes.

The woman, under the horrified gazes of the three men, gradually dissipated and turned into dust.

"impossible!"

The old man in black robes let out an incredulous exclamation.

Among the four of them, apart from the fair-skinned man, this woman was the strongest, yet she couldn't even withstand a single blow. Although there was a suspicion of a sneak attack, it was enough to demonstrate how terrifying Chen Lin was.

Especially that treasure.

The fact that it can render even a supreme expert completely defenseless is probably beyond the scope of ordinary sovereign treasures, and is definitely not something they can withstand.

The two looked at each other.

Without any intention of lingering in the fight, they immediately split up and fled.

"Damn it!"

The fair-skinned man was furious upon seeing this.

In this situation, as long as the three of them work together, they can definitely turn the tide. The needle-shaped treasure has already been revealed, so there is no possibility of a sneak attack. No matter how powerful it is, it is useless if it cannot be hit.

He didn't believe Chen Lin possessed any other treasures of this caliber.

But this escape...

They will be defeated one by one, with no chance of turning the tide.

Chen Lin was also taken aback.

He didn't expect that the Supreme expert would be so weak. It wasn't that the expert was weak, but that the expert had no fighting spirit. How could someone with such a mindset advance to the level of a pseudo-ruler?

But on second thought, it makes sense.

If one didn't value their life, they would never willingly bear the mark of slavery and become a servant to the old fisherman of Tianhu Lake.

For these slave masters, the greatest meaning of their cultivation is to live, which is also their spiritual pillar. They are capable of doing anything to survive.

Chen Lin did not chase after the two.

Such a weak supreme being poses no threat to him; it is this fair-skinned man before him who must be eliminated.

Because he had already recognized him.

This person is the culprit who used the Annihilation Talisman, causing changes in the rules of the Rainbow Realm and preventing countless exceptionally talented individuals from advancing to Eternity.

Supreme Elegance!

"kill!"

Chen Lin gave a low shout.

The countless runes coalesced into countless blue daggers, aiming to strangle the fair-skinned man from different directions.

At the same time, the fingers flick repeatedly.

The Soul-Destroying Finger flashed continuously.

"Heh, you want to kill me? Dream on!"

The fair-skinned man chuckled softly, flicked his wrist, and released three more talismans.

Each talisman exuded an aura of dominance, blocking the attacks of the Soul-Destroying Finger and the Blue Enchantress. One of the pink talismans even transformed into a woman in pink, standing in front of him.

at the same time.

A flash of grayish-white light struck the woman's brow.

"what!"

The woman screamed, and her entire body exploded instantly, turning into countless pink runes that enveloped the crystal needle.

But it didn't work.

The crystal needle was almost unaffected, passing right through the runic light and continuing its piercing towards the fair-skinned man behind it.

The fair-skinned man was speechless with shock.

Moreover, he discovered that the needle-like treasure had locked onto him firmly, and he had no way to dodge it in his haste. He could only watch helplessly as the crystal needle pierced his brow.

"open!"

In desperation, the fair-skinned man let out a ferocious roar, and a crack appeared between his eyebrows, from which emerged a jet-black, shiny object that looked like a fingernail.

It collided with the crystal needle.

Click!

The fingernail made a crisp sound as it struck the crystal needle, leaving a crack. However, the crystal needle failed to destroy it; instead, it was bounced aside by the rebounding force, allowing the fair-skinned man to escape unscathed.

The fair-skinned man stopped fighting and immediately slapped a triangular talisman onto his body. It disappeared in a flash of light.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered.

This is the second time the crystal needle has been blocked.

The previous one was Li Fuyao's colorful arrow, which belonged to the strange kingdom. This time, the fingernails are of unknown origin and also have a strange aura, but they don't seem to be the same as those from the strange kingdom.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it demonstrates that crystal needles are not invincible and should not be relied upon too much.

A wave.

Chen Lin put the crystal needle back.

He then focused his mind and sensed the surrounding runes, which returned to his side and merged into the void.

Millions of miles away.

The figure of the Supreme Being of Glory appeared from the void, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"This child must not be allowed to live. We must report to the master immediately and mobilize all the supreme experts to kill him, otherwise the consequences will be endless."

It seemed as if he was talking to someone, or perhaps talking to himself.

Then he looked around and took out a cyan token.

But it still can't be stimulated.

Suddenly, countless rune figures appeared around him, each holding a blue dagger, and they surrounded him.

"Damn it!"

Feng Hua Supreme's expression changed drastically.

Instead of activating the token again, he took out a triangular talisman, slapped it on his body, and disappeared from the spot.

next moment.

It reappeared millions of miles away.

Before he could catch his breath, the rune figures reappeared around him like shadows.

Feng Hua Zhi Zun continued his escape.

However, no matter what methods he used or how far he escaped, he could always be accurately caught.

In this situation, he had no chance to check his own status and did not know why he was locked out.

He escaped several more times.

Having exhausted his triangular talismans, he finally gave up on the idea of ​​escaping, floating in the void with a gloomy expression as he looked at Chen Lin, who was arriving shortly after.

Chen Lin's figure became visible.

He glanced at the other party indifferently and said sarcastically, "Fellow Daoist Feng Hua, how magnificent you were when you suppressed the Rainbow Realm. You alone dominated the entire realm, and trillions of beings regarded you as a god. How come you only know how to run away with your tail between your legs now? This is not how a top-level supreme being should behave."

The fair-skinned man remained silent.

After such a long escape, he had consumed a lot of energy, so he took the time to recover. Chen Lin checked his body and looked for tracking marks.

Chen Lin didn't take action directly.

He then said, "I'll give you a chance. If you tell me where the Old Fisherman of Heavenly Lake is hiding and what identity he's assumed, I'll let you leave. How about that?"

"hide?"

Feng Hua Zhi Zun let out a cold laugh.

"Our lord is the master of this Seven Star Realm. He has everything under control. What can make him hide? If he makes a move, a single glance from him can obliterate your soul!"

"Is it?"

"But I heard that he was trapped inside the boundary river and couldn't even leave it, let alone reveal his true form."

Chen Lin's tone became deep and somber.

"Fellow Daoist Feng Hua was once a prodigy with the potential to become a true ruler, yet you were forced to become a slave. Are you truly willing to continue living like this?"

"A lackey is a lackey."

"Even if you have the strength of a ruler, you are not a true ruler. We cultivators have undergone countless years of arduous training for freedom. I do not believe this is the result you want."

"Why don't you sever your slave seal and leave this Seven Star Realm with me to realize your ambitions in the wider Star Ruins?"

"If you are willing."

"I can help you remove the slave mark!"

As he spoke, Chen Lin focused his senses to the maximum, observing the other person's reaction.

He knew that the slave seal of the Fisherman of Tianhu could not be easily broken, but as long as he could open a crack in the other's heart, there was hope of success.

"Be bold!"

To Chen Lin's disappointment, Feng Hua Supreme was not only not 'turned', but was also furious. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed more than a dozen talismans, which transformed into a barrage of attacks that descended upon him.

"Ugh!"

Chen Lin sighed softly.

He ignored the other party's attack.

Instead, with a thought, a gigantic 'soul avatar' appeared behind him, casting a fixed gaze upon Feng Hua Supreme.

The Supreme Being of Elegance trembled instantly.

It was as if he was facing not Chen Lin's illusory soul, but the source of the Great Dao, which made him unable to resist at all, and he only wanted to prostrate himself in worship.

this moment.

He even felt that the old fisherman of Tianhu Lake was second, and that the supreme being before him was his true 'master'.

However, he quickly regained his senses.

A flash of light appeared between his brows, and the oppressive aura vanished without a trace.

However, this delay allowed him to be enveloped by countless tiny rune figures, which formed a battle formation and launched wave after wave of attacks against him.

In an instant.

Several layers of his defenses were broken through.

Chen Lin, however, was unharmed.

Floating silently in place, without moving an inch, it allowed the talisman attacks to strike its body without causing any damage.

The Supreme Emperor's expression shifted constantly.

Then his eyes showed determination.

He reached out and took out a small black knife, no bigger than a finger, and forcefully plunged it into his forehead. After pulling it out, his life force rapidly diminished.

The crack between his eyebrows grew larger and larger.

A chilling aura emanated from the air.

Chen Lin frowned.

He originally intended to rely on the defense of the Ninefold Armor to wear down his opponent through attrition, exhausting their energy so that he could capture them alive or at least leave behind a remnant soul.

Then, using a secret method, they obtained the other party's memories and learned about the old fisherman of Tianhu.

It seems impossible to do that now.

The thing released from the opponent's brow can counteract the crystal needle. If it is fully released, the Ninefold Armor probably cannot defend against it.

We no longer have any hope of capturing them alive.

Chen Lin immediately manipulated the rune figure to increase the intensity of the attack, and then flicked his finger, sending the crystal needle straight to the opponent's heart.

"late!"

The Supreme Being of Elegance let out a strange roar.

Then his whole body emitted a burst of black light, and he exploded.

The weird thing is.

The burst of blood mist did not spread outwards, but instead surged inwards and disappeared instantly, leaving behind a dark figure.

It was neither human nor ghost, its body was black and shiny, covered with abstract patterns.

There was a crystal needle inserted into his heart.

Chen Lin's eyelids twitched.

This thing can actually withstand the crystal needles with its body; it's definitely not something he can handle. If all else fails, he'll have to retreat first.

But he soon discovered it.

Although the opponent was not killed by the crystal needle, he seemed to be eroded by the energy attached to the crystal needle, and his aura became very unstable.

"die!"

How could Chen Lin possibly let such an opportunity slip by?

With a series of flicks of his fingers, he unleashed the Soul-Destroying Finger technique at any cost, along with the Soul Master's intimidating power, Blue Enchantress, True Sun Fire, and Death Gaze.

They used every single method at once.

But it's no use.

When the light faded, the opponent remained in the same spot, without any injuries, and their defense seemed to be even stronger than his nine-layered armor.

Chen Lin slowly retreated.

This attack confirmed to him that after Feng Hua Supreme transformed into this object, his strength had probably reached the true Dominator Realm. If he hadn't been pinned down by the crystal needles, he wouldn't have been a match for the opponent.

But he was unwilling to just give up like that.

The crystal needle is his strongest trump card; if he were to give it up, his strength would be reduced by 70%.

In the future, when facing other supreme powerhouses, he won't be as confident, let alone confront the true form of the Heavenly Lake Fisherman.

But taking it off won't work either.

The monster was only unable to move because it was struggling against the energy of the crystal needle, and it hadn't suffered much damage. If it retrieved the crystal needle now, it would be killed by the monster before it could escape.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.

The situation became deadlocked.

Now it all depends on the outcome of the confrontation between the two sides. Whichever side is weakened first will lose its chance to survive.

However, Chen Lin was unsure.

Because the energy of the crystal needle is limited and cannot be continuously supplied, while the other party is a living being, its energy can be replenished.

So he launched another attack.

I don't intend to hurt the other party; I only hope to prevent them from recovering.

"Master, summon me quickly!"

suddenly.

The small white snake that had been coiled around Chen Lin's arm opened its mouth.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately composed himself and called out to her in a long, affectionate tone.

“My beloved…”

“Honey, I’m here.”

The little white snake responded with deep affection.

Then an emotion filled with endless sorrow emanated from it.

And then singing began.

"Loneliness seeps through the windowpane, I gaze at your face, but why can't I touch your burning heart, only grasping a sliver of icy moonlight..."

"Is this what they mean by the incompatibility between humans and demons?"

"They love each other but cannot be together; in every life they meet, they are stranded in tears."

"If longing could speak, I would have shattered the long night long ago, but all that's left for me is farewell. If there is an afterlife... Enough, enough, different paths are ultimately different paths..."

The song grew increasingly mournful.

The strange creature's eyes suddenly became moist.

A single, glistening tear fell.

Then, with a slight tremor, the entire body, starting from the heart, dissipated like sand.
