The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1935 This guy's a bit arrogant!
"boom!"

The Water Scale Dragon Ape knelt down, shattering countless ice surfaces. It was already unable to withstand the enormous pressure above its head, and its heart had been severely damaged. How could it possibly hold on any longer?

Just as the Water Scale Dragon Ape was about to be completely suppressed, Lin Chen suddenly activated his magic, and the power of the Exquisite Pagoda instantly disappeared, hovering quietly in mid-air, as if the earth-shattering suppression just now was just an illusion.

"I've already got the blood in my hand, let it go."

Having achieved his goal, Lin Chen saw no need to commit further murder and decided to spare his life.

Although the heart being pierced was a serious injury, it was not fatal for a water-scaled dragon ape with such a large size and strong vitality.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the merman stopped freezing the lake water and retrieved his trident.

Without the support of spiritual energy, the ice beneath the Water Scale Dragon Ape's feet shattered instantly, and its mountain-like body slowly sank into the water.

The Water Scale Dragon Ape struggled to raise its head, looking at Lin Chen who was suspended in mid-air with a slightly puzzled expression.

It clearly didn't understand why the other party could have killed it, but instead let it go.

The Water Scale Dragon Ape sank into the water and disappeared. The Merman put away his trident, glanced at the Linglong Pagoda floating in the air, and looked at it with undisguised awe.

He knew very well how strong the Water Scale Dragon Ape was, but this tower had completely subdued him!
If Lin Chen hadn't chosen to stop, the Water Scale Dragon Ape would probably have been killed instantly.

The merman cupped his hands and said, "I have obtained the blood of the Water Scale Dragon Ape. I have fulfilled my promise."

Lin Chen naturally understood the subtext in the merman's words. With a casual gesture, the Linglong Pagoda flew back and hovered beside Lin Chen.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. If I get the Serpent Heart Heavenly Fate Fruit, I'll look for you there."

The merman replied, "My wife is seriously injured and unable to travel long distances. In addition, we mermen have a great need for water, so I will wait for you in the deep abyss at the bottom of this water."

Lin Chen asked worriedly, "You got into an argument with someone and killed someone from the Hundred Demons Sect. They probably won't let you off the hook..."

The merman sighed and said, "We mermen can conceal our presence in the water and not be discovered. This place is bottomless and we don't know where it leads. It should be a place where my husband and I can hide."

Lin Chen nodded, about to answer, when suddenly dozens of golden lights appeared on the horizon. The golden light shone brightly, like a rainbow piercing the earth, and instantly reached the sky above the lake, surrounding Lin Chen, his companion, and the merman.

Lin Chen's heart sank; the newcomer was clearly up to no good!

The merman's expression changed drastically, and with a flip, he disappeared into the water.

From the crowd, an old man shouted sternly, "Want to leave? Stay here!"

A golden light flew from the old man's hand, instantly falling into the water, and then unfolded into a lotus leaf radiating golden light.

The lotus leaves unfurled in the water, like a green canopy, completely blocking the merman's escape route. The merman raised his trident and thrust it towards the lotus leaves.

The lotus leaf shone brightly, forcefully blocking the merman's trident. At the same time, several flying swords and magical artifacts flew up and struck the merman.

The merfolk had no choice but to take the hit.

"boom!"

Water splashed and the merman's body was violently thrown out of the water, once again surrounded by the crowd.

The merman, wielding a trident, looked fierce: "Do you really intend to exterminate us all?"

The old man who had just intervened sneered, "You audacious monster! How dare you kill a disciple of my Hundred Demons Sect! Today, I will surely annihilate your soul and body. However, if you surrender, I might spare your life."

The merman said coldly, "Stop spouting these high-sounding and shameless words. If you want my life, trade yours for mine. My East Sea Merman Clan only has souls that die in battle, not those who surrender!"

"Obstinate!"

The old man snorted coldly, but did not rush to make a move. After all, he had already used his magic weapon to block the merman's escape route. The merman was trapped in the net and had no way to escape.

The old man's gaze fell on Lin Chen and Immortal Lord Ziyun, and after a quick glance, he calmly said, "Special envoys from the Immortal Palace?"

Lin Chen glanced at the middle-aged man standing behind the old man; it was the same man who had escaped earlier, and he immediately understood what was going on.

So they've brought back reinforcements.

Lin Chen was puzzled. Was the headquarters of the Hundred Demons Sect right next door? How could they have brought so many reinforcements in such a short time?

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, and who are you?"

The old man's voice was calm and reserved, with a hint of arrogance: "Elder Jin Jiujiang of the Hundred Demons Sect."

Lin Chen frowned. This guy was a bit arrogant.

Knowing that he was a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, it was one thing for him not to greet him, but he even acted all high and mighty, clearly showing that he didn't take him, the special envoy of the Celestial Palace, seriously at all.

Lin Chen glanced at the trapped merman and smiled, "As far as I know, this merman was taking his wife out for medical treatment and did not offend the Hundred Demon Sect, so why are you launching such a large-scale attack on him?"

Jin Jiujiang said calmly, "This is an internal matter of our demon race, and has nothing to do with the human race or the Immortal Palace. If there is nothing else, please leave, otherwise I am afraid that if a fight breaks out, you may be accidentally injured..."
