The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1077 Catching such a big fish is definitely worth it!

Luo Yuan felt excruciating pain. Visibly, the flesh and blood of his right arm and palm were melting like ice, revealing the stark white bones beneath.

Even more terrifying was that the dissolution was still extending, spreading upwards along his arm!

He could even feel his bones being violently corroded and rotting!

Seeing his hand transform into a blood-stained skeletal hand in the blink of an eye, Luo Yuan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He raised his left hand, turning his palm into a blade, and slashed directly at his upper right arm.

Blood splattered as Luo Yuan's right arm was severed and fell to the ground. Luo Yuan dodged away, his face pale as he looked at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with deep fear.

"What the hell is this!"

Lin Chen said regretfully, "You were quite decisive; you actually cut off your own arm..."

Luo Yuan used his internal energy to stop the blood spurting from his severed arm, and quickly retreated, distancing himself from Lin Chen.

"You used this move to kill the Skeleton and Arhat bandit gang members back then?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing to mention. Just some underhanded tricks. I hope you'll forgive my rudeness, Lord Luo!"

Small means?
Please excuse my poor performance.

Luo Yuan wanted to curse and regretted not asking Lin Chen how he managed to kill so many people.
Why did I preconceive of the idea that Lin Chen killed so many people because he possessed the Human Emperor's Seal?

This sudden turn of events took Xu Xianxiang, who was on the other side, by surprise.

what happened?

Luo Yuan severed his own arm, and it was his right arm?

Isn't this a major blow to their strength?

How can we fight this fight?
Holding the Water-Fire Mirror, Lin Chen once again unleashed a torrent of flames towards Luo Yuan.

This time, Luo Yuan simply retreated and stayed far away.

Lin Chen took the opportunity to gather his spiritual energy and quickly ran outside, while Gao Yi ran in another direction at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yuan knew that there was no way to trap the three of them today.

How could I dare to go any closer? Who knows if that eerie blood mist was mixed in with the fire?
Luo Yuan wielded his nine-section whip and lashed out at Lin Chen once more.

This time, Lin Chen accepted it, but his expression didn't seem too upset.

Luo Yuan's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced due to the loss of his arm!
Seeing this, Luo Yuan knew that the situation was hopeless. Filled with resentment, he leaped into the air and shouted, "Go!"

Xu Xianxiang was already feeling uneasy. He originally wanted to use an array to completely trap the three of them, and then Luo Yuan would sneak in and launch a sneak attack. As long as Yelü Yuan was seriously injured, wouldn't it be easy to kill Lin Chen?
However, the result was unexpected. Not only could they run away on their own, but neither of them could kill them!
Luo Yuan, with his strength at the Great Perfection of the Void Realm, couldn't even kill Lin Chen!

Seeing that the three of them were almost at the edge, Xu Xianxiang dared not linger any longer. He soared into the sky and followed behind Luo Yuan, quickly heading into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen and the other two left the range of the formation. Yelü Yuan cursed, "That damn Luo Yuan, he's really good at hiding. If you hadn't seen through him just now, and he had suddenly attacked us while Xu Xianxiang was attacking us, none of us would have been able to stop him."

Gao Yi looked at Lin Chen with bright eyes: "I was busy dealing with Xu Xianxiang just now and didn't even notice. Luckily, Lin Chen, you noticed."

Lin Chen was actually feeling a lingering fear. What would be the consequences if a super strong expert with the strength of the Great Perfection of the Void Realm launched a full-force attack on him from behind when he was completely unprepared?
dead!
100% guaranteed instant kill!

"We never imagined that Luo Yuan, the lord of a city, would also be a disciple of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. We've all been deceived. Even Xu Xianxiang, whom we had in our grasp, was rescued by him..."

Yelü Yuan grinned: "Didn't you cripple one of his hands, causing his strength to plummet? We've also uncovered another hidden big fish, so this isn't a bad deal."

Gao Yi nodded in agreement: "It would be better if we could kill him, but if we can't and his identity is exposed, that's not bad either. At least Luo Yuan probably won't be able to go back to be the city lord of Tianyuan City. From now on, he'll probably have to be careful and live in anonymity."

Lin Chen frowned and said, "Luo Yuan is a member of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, and he is also the city lord. Why not directly recruit Zhang Zhongyan into the sect, instead of having Xu Xianxiang take action?"

"Hidden identity provides an extra layer of security."

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Xu Xianxiang is developing Zhang Zhongyan. No matter how Zhang Zhongyan reacts, Luo Yuan can remain in the shadows and keep the situation under control. Think about it, if Zhang Zhongyan is dissatisfied with Xu Xianxiang and wants to report him, who would he report to?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly understood.

Yes, Xu Xianxiang is developing Zhang Zhongyan. If Zhang Zhongyan is dissatisfied with Xu Xianxiang, or if he has any suspicions or wants to make any big moves, he will definitely inform the city lord Luo Yuan first.

Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?

Xu Xianxiang has been exposed, yet Luo Yuan can still openly participate in this matter as the city lord, using Xu Xianxiang to launch a counterattack, just like what they are doing to themselves now.

As long as the murders and cover-ups are done well, Xu Xianxiang will still be a master weapon refiner, Luo Yuan will still be the city lord, and everything will be as if it never happened.

What a good plan!
