The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1749 Are you trying to rob me by force?
"This is a layered formation, an earth-binding formation plus a poison formation. The golden cage is the earth-binding formation, just to trap the target. The green light is the poison formation, to subject the target to a deadly poison with nowhere to escape. This poison looks rather potent..."

Chu Yue's voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind: "They have already trapped the Xuan Shui Toad with an array. If we make a move, it will be considered a forced takeover, which would be a deadly feud."

Looking at the Xuan Shui Clam, which was struggling wildly and causing the golden light pillar on its body to tremble, Lin Chen replied, "Let's see. Anyway, it's just a Xuan Shui Clam, not a Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros. We don't necessarily have to take it by force."

Chu Yue immediately understood Lin Chen's meaning: "You mean we should follow behind them and wait for the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros to actually appear before trying to snatch it?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Anyway, there's no rush."

Chu Yue nodded. He asked Lin Chen for his opinion, actually wanting to see Lin Chen's attitude in order to further judge Lin Chen's character.

Lin Chen reciprocated with the Buddha Heart Pill without hesitation, which made Chu Yue even more fond of Lin Chen and somewhat want to deepen their friendship.

Although cultivating immortality is a personal matter, having more friends makes the road easier. Even though he was born with a Dao body and a sword spirit body, he did not consider himself superior to everyone else and that he did not need any help in his cultivation.

Besides, it's not easy to find a friend who shares your views on kendo and with whom you can get along.

Who would willingly wander alone on the vast and uncertain path of immortality?
The green light contained a highly potent poison. The skin of the Xuan Shui Clam was as if it had been thrown into a red-hot iron pot of lard, constantly festering and melting. One can imagine how much pain this caused.

Just when the disciples of the Five Poisons Hall thought they had succeeded, the Xuan Shui Toad suddenly let out another miserable scream, its voice high-pitched, and its body suddenly burst open, breaking free of the golden cage.

The disciples of the Five Poisons Hall were caught off guard and were unable to intercept it in time. Just then, the Xuan Shui Toad was about to jump back into the lake.

The lake water looks unfathomably deep. Once the Mysterious Water Clam enters the water, its fighting power naturally increases exponentially. Catching or killing it again will not be easy.

Chu Yue's eyes lit up. He cast a spell, and the Seven Star Sword Set, which he had already quietly taken out, instantly rose into the air and shot towards the Xuan Shui Toad like a shooting star.

The Black Water Clam was jumping up, preparing to escape into the water, when it was suddenly attacked from the side. Caught off guard, seven swords pierced through its massive body in an instant. However, its instinctive reaction made it shrink its body and avoid the vital location of its brain.

Even so, the seven swords, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, instantly opened huge wounds on its body. Terrifying sword intent rapidly spread from the seven wounds, making it feel as if it had been pierced by ten thousand swords.

At the same time, Lin Chen also drew his Dragon's Roar sword and, without saying a word, suddenly slashed forward with his sword.

Yue Kong!

A terrifying sword strike landed in mid-air, but seemed to vanish. In the next instant, a thin black line suddenly appeared in front of the Xuan Shui Clam, piercing directly into its neck before sweeping across.

The Black Water Clam's body slammed into the water's surface with a crash, and with that impact, its head abruptly fell off, splitting in two from its body. This scene stunned all the Five Poisons Hall disciples who had been pursuing it.

Was the water clam killed?

Who was hiding nearby and ambushing us, stealing our prey?

Chu Yue reached out, and the Xuan Shui Toad's body, which had already sunk into the lake, and its severed head flew up again, landing on the ground in front of the two of them. The blood in its neck was still gurgling.

Chu Yue stared in horror at the neat wound and the severed, white bone. Lin Chen's sword strike had directly used the power of space, and its power was something that not everyone could withstand.

This sword strike is somewhat sinister, and its power is immense. Anyone who dares to oppose it will likely be killed instantly if they are hit by it.

Lin Chen wasn't particularly proud; he had simply gotten a bargain.

Without the previous formation that depleted the Xuan Shui Clam's energy, and without Chu Yue's seven piercing swords, how could the Xuan Shui Clam be completely defenseless?

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Just as the Xuan Shui Ha's body landed on the ground, all the disciples of the Five Poisons Hall rushed over.

"It's you!"

The Five Poisons Hall disciple who had previously encountered Lin Chen and his group widened his eyes and then angrily said, "We've already chased you away, yet you still sneaked back here. This Xuan Shui Clam is clearly already in our hands; do we need you to take action? Hand over the Xuan Shui Clam!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We didn't take action when the Xuan Shui Clam was trapped by your formation. The Xuan Shui Clam had clearly escaped and was about to escape back to the bottom of the water when we took action. It has nothing to do with you."

The Five Poisons Hall disciple angrily retorted, "Without our formation's damage, could you have killed it so easily?"

Lin Chen sneered: "No matter what, when we were dealing with it, it had nothing to do with you. In short, it died at our hands."

The middle-aged man leading the Five Poisons Hall said in a deep voice, "It seems you two are preparing to rob us by force?"
