The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1424 I don't know the Five Elements Sword Technique, but I do know the Three-Foot Sword Curtain.

"That person already possessed the strength of an Earth Immortal, yet he couldn't withstand those eighteen sword energies. He struggled to swim ashore, his entire body reduced to a skeleton, and his primordial spirit was severely injured. It was truly terrifying!"

"Crossing this bridge doesn't seem to have much to do with strength. That girl from the White Crane Immortal Sect was only at the Nascent Soul stage, but she passed through smoothly, didn't she?"

"I admit it, I'm scared. I still have a long life ahead of me, and I don't want to risk my life!"

"I'll stop here too. It's not worth it. Quite a few people have passed by just now, which means that crossing the Immortal Crossing Bridge doesn't guarantee you'll get the opportunities here. It just means there will be fewer competitors."

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Chen turned his head and asked, "How many people have passed by and how many have fallen in the time you've been here?"

Ji Ruxue replied, "Eight people passed by, and thirteen fell. Of these thirteen, ten were seriously injured, and three were completely destroyed!"

Of the 21 applicants, 8 passed, resulting in a pass rate of less than 40%.

With a low win rate and huge stakes, it's no wonder so many people are hesitant, observing, or giving up altogether.

"You've been watching for so long, what are your thoughts?"

Ji Ruxue said with a wry smile, "Crossing the bridge doesn't seem to have much to do with strength, but after falling into the water, those who are stronger are obviously better able to resist the erosion of the Ghost Spirit Water. The three who were completely destroyed were all below the level of Immortal. The one who was at the Nascent Soul stage was the weakest; he only swam halfway before he was gone."

"With our strength, if we fall into the Ghost Spirit Water, we'll probably be crippled before we even get ashore. What's more, our bodies are special, we're pseudo-demigods, neither here nor there. Even if we had a stroke of luck, our special condition might not be able to withstand it. So we've decided to stop here."

Yan Chusheng's expression was also somewhat awkward; clearly, he felt quite ashamed for having chosen to give up.

Lin Chen nodded: "Giving up might not be a bad choice. I estimate that more people will die or be injured in the future. Your physical condition is indeed special, so there is no need to gamble."

Lin Chen's comforting words made the two feel a little better, as they had always worried that Lin Chen would look down on them.

Lin Chen asked, "Have Min Huakun of the Tianhu Sect, Guan Xinxiu of the Mingxin Sect, and her martial uncle gone there?"

Yan Chusheng replied, "They didn't dare to cross at first, but after Uncle Shu crossed, they seemed to be stimulated. Then Min Huakun crossed first, followed closely by Guan Xinxiu. Guan Xinxiu's uncle crossed last, but fell off the bridge on the fourteenth step and was seriously injured."

Lin Chen's expression immediately became somewhat subtle.

Shu Zifeng provoked the three of them. They were initially afraid to cross the bridge, but one of them fell off and was seriously injured. Could this be considered Shu Zifeng's disguised revenge?

But as soon as Shu Zifeng went there, Min Huakun and Guan Xinxiu followed closely behind. Wouldn't that put Shu Zifeng in danger?

Lin Chen decided to cross the bridge.

Even if I do fall, my bones should be able to hold out for a while longer, and with the Life Pearl, it shouldn't be a big problem. At most, I'll just suffer a bit more.

"You all wait here. If you can get out, then get out. Safety first!"

After giving a brief explanation, Lin Chen pushed through the crowd and walked towards the seemingly ordinary metal steps. All eyes turned to Lin Chen, their gazes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Even if you fail yourself, it's not bad to watch others fall into the water while trying to cross the bridge.

Lin Chen reached the entrance of the steps, and before he could even lift his foot, he felt a strong sword intent locking onto him, and at the same time, he felt as if he were being watched.

Sword intent?

Lin Chen stepped onto the first step.

"call out!"

A sharp sword aura seemed to descend from the sky, slashing towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen held the Three Provinces Sword in his hand and slashed out with it.

The sword energy shattered.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. It didn't seem particularly strong. Was he going to start with the easy parts and gradually increase the intensity of his attack?
Lin Chen lifted his leg again and stepped onto the second step.

Two sword energies attacked from the left and right.

Lin Chen swung his sword and easily dealt with the situation.

third step!
Step 4!
……

As Lin Chen took a step forward, the number of sword energies attacking him increased with each step, and their force also grew stronger.

After receiving several sword strikes, Lin Chen suddenly had an epiphany.

It seems that the Five Elements Sword Technique that I just comprehended, combined with the first level of the technique, is quite suitable for dealing with this situation.
Lin Chen suddenly realized.

The first and second rounds are rigid assessments, while the third round assesses flexible application.
If you thoroughly understand the techniques and sword skills and can use them freely, you can naturally handle the sword energy of the third level. If you haven't thoroughly understood them, it means you've learned them, but you can't use them flexibly and quickly, which means you don't have enough talent.
Uh, it seems like I'm one of those people who aren't very talented?
To use the Five Elements Sword Technique to withstand so much sword energy, I might be able to do it if I had more time, but I can't do it now!
I am by no means a prodigy in terms of cultivation and comprehension. Didn't you see that I was at the bottom in the first and second stages?
Lin Chen couldn't do it, but he wasn't flustered.

Not only was I not flustered, I was actually quite happy.

I'm so happy I want to laugh.

I don't know the Five Elements Sword Technique, but I do know the Three-Foot Sword Curtain!

Unless it's a powerful attack that exceeds one's own strength, what sword energy can break through one's three-foot sword barrier?
