The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2698 How Does a Little Trick Taste?

Liu Junru covered the rear, leading the entire demon race squad in a rapid retreat, and soon approached the trap area.

Liu Junru had already received a warning from the team members hidden in the shadows, and his figure flashed past the trap area without stopping.

Bared and his men followed closely behind, rushing rapidly into the continuous mountain range.

"boom!"

As the hidden weapon refiners simultaneously detonated all the pre-set explosive magical artifacts, hundreds of them exploded at the same time, converging into countless intersecting shockwaves.

Bared had previously refused to fight Liu Junru, and now that many had been killed or wounded, he believed that Liu Junru was cowardly and retreating. Little did he know that Liu Junru had made preparations and set up an ambush in the rear.
Fortunately, the group led by Baled and others who were in the closest pursuit were the strongest members of the barbarian tribe. Faced with the sudden explosion, each of them suddenly emitted golden light, and the protective shield forcefully blocked the explosion.

Although these explosives were very powerful, Baled and his men were also very experienced in combat. Even during the pursuit, they did not relax their defensive capabilities. Therefore, although the impact was huge and some of the barbarian pursuers were injured, the extent of their injuries was very limited.

Bared roared, "Liu Junru, you don't even dare to fight back, and you only dare to resort to such petty tricks?"

Before Baled could finish his sarcastic remarks, an array was instantly activated between heaven and earth.

Purple lightning descended from the sky, accompanied by a raging wind and towering flames, instantly engulfing the fastest-chasing group of barbarian warriors.

Baled was shocked to discover that in addition to the explosives, there were also three powerful arrays!

"Defend! Charge out!"

Bared reacted quickly, throwing his giant axe into the air. The axe emitted a golden light, dispelling the approaching flames and enveloping the people around him in its glow.

Others scattered in various places also unleashed their magical treasures. These people were all extremely powerful, and with all their defensive treasures deployed, they actually managed to hold on!
Lin Chen was inside the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Array. Looking at the quick-reacting crowd, he was secretly amazed. As expected of the top experts in this competition, their strength and the power of their magic weapons were not to be underestimated!

Lin Chen naturally wouldn't let them break out of the Eight Desolate Fire Spirit Array so easily. A phoenix's cry rang out from the flames, and a huge fire phoenix rose from the flames as if reborn, spreading its huge fiery wings and rushing towards the group.

When Baled saw the approaching fire phoenix, his expression changed drastically.

"Phoenix Fire Spirit, watch out!" The Phoenix Fire Spirit, accompanied by blazing flames, crashed directly into the group's protective shield.

The gleaming golden shield shattered under the intense heat.

The moment the protective shield shattered, Lin Chen appeared not far from them like a ghost made of flames. The True Fire of the Sun instantly coalesced into a line of fire, sweeping rapidly toward them.

Lin Chen's True Sun Fire was hidden among the phoenix fires and was not conspicuous, but the terrifying aura it contained still caught Baled's attention immediately.

Baled's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Watch out!"

As Baled spoke, a black jade pendant on his chest suddenly lit up, radiating outwards like a ball of light, attempting to envelop everyone around him once again.

The black jade pendant radiated light from the inside out, while crimson fire lines swept rapidly from the outside in.

The barbarian man, who was standing at the very edge and was the one most affected by the Phoenix Fire Spirit's attack, hadn't even recovered when the line of fire swept across his neck.

His head fell directly off his neck, but the immense power of a Great Immortal gave him unparalleled vitality. His head had only rolled halfway off when it flew up again and moved toward his fallen body, trying to reconnect his head and body.

Lin Chen's eyes were like those of a fire god. He glanced at the head, and the intent of the true fire of the sun instantly enveloped it, causing it to burst into flames.

The True Fire of the Sun was incredibly domineering. This barbarian's head was severed, and his strength was greatly diminished in an instant. How could he withstand the True Fire of the Sun?
In a mere instant, his head was completely burned through by the true fire of the sun, inside and out.

Fire was spewing from all seven of his orifices, and his painful roars were cut short as soon as they began.

A golden light fled hastily from his head, transforming into a beam of light that instantly disappeared into the light shield created by the black jade pendant around Baled's neck.

Lin Chen did not pursue him. Instead, as soon as he "ignited" the head of this Great Luo Immortal, he grabbed at the air and the tag hanging on the fallen body flew out instantly and fell into Lin Chen's hand.

The goal wasn't to kill; the goal was to steal the sign.

Once the sign is obtained, regardless of whether the person is still alive or in spirit form, they will all be cleared out by the formation!
