The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3020 Only a Saint Can Withstand a Saint
No one hesitated, no one doubted, no one asked questions. The moment they received the order, everyone in the three teams acted without hesitation, passing through the light gate in an orderly manner and disappearing.

Lin Chen was quite nervous at the moment, fearing that he might be targeted by the powerful array controller.

Lin Chen had no choice, after all, his wife, apprentices, master, and friends were all in there.

These people certainly have their own methods, but Lin Chen doesn't think anyone's escape methods are better than his.

As the heavenly fire fell, Lin Chen's figure plunged into the abyss, continuing to manipulate the Water-Fire Mirror to resist the endless flames.

He didn't dramatically extinguish the flames that filled the sky; he simply cleared a small area in front of him, and then struck again when the crimson flames fell once more, repeatedly sweeping them away, much like a trapped person who couldn't escape but was desperately resisting.

The ground they had stood on was instantly engulfed by endless blood and fire, which continued to surge into the abyss.

There were over 100,000 people on the entire battlefield, and Lin Chen's group was only one percent of that. They were isolated and without any support from the front or rear, making them a truly lone squad. Compared to the large groups that had been crowded together in the Immortal-Demon Passage and were constantly gathering from the surrounding areas, they were inconspicuous.

Many teams initially chose to rush towards the Immortal-Demon Passage, but suffered heavy casualties and achieved nothing. They then turned to the underground, using their Heaven-Reaching Abilities to instantly create various abysses and complex trenches to hide themselves and avoid the blood and fire.

The area spanning tens of thousands of miles became a world of blood and fire, and a living hell.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Lin Chen heard Chu Jiaxue's voice transmission in his mind.

While resisting the blood fire, Lin Chen replied to Chu Jiaxue, "Even a Quasi-Saint probably couldn't withstand this situation. I'll use a clone as bait to escape later."

"Be careful."

Chu Jiaxue didn't say much. In this situation, there was nothing that could be done, and the only thing to do was to be careful to protect herself.

The Linglong Pagoda can definitely withstand the attack of this Bloodfire Array, provided it doesn't attract the attention of the array's master. Otherwise, even the Linglong Pagoda might be in danger.

Soon, all three teams entered the portal. Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and summoned the Exquisite Pagoda.

Lin Chen's figure flashed and disappeared into the Linglong Tower. The next second, his clone Lin Chen appeared and took Lin Chen's place.

Blood and fire descended, enveloping Lin Chen within them.

The entire abyss that Lin Chen had casually created was instantly buried by endless blood and fire.

Flames erupted from Lin Chen's body, his eyes blazed with fire, and he instantly merged with the blood-red flames that filled the sky.

He surged upwards against the current from the abyss.

The Linglong Pagoda, however, fell into the abyss like a stone, then silently sank into the soil, just like a red-hot iron sheet falling into solidified butter.

Lin Chen did not release a clone to escape underground. He had just carved out an abyss with one hand, and the resistance he felt increased as he pushed the force downwards.

This formation covers the earth; there's probably something fishy going on underground. It's best to remain unchanged and wait for the right opportunity.

The Linglong Pagoda can isolate all detection and has no spiritual energy fluctuations, which is its greatest advantage.

Hiding in the earth is the best way to hide. In any case, the Linglong Pagoda is extremely sturdy, and even if it is burned by blood and fire, it will not be able to move it in the slightest.

Lin Chen's body merged with the flames, his figure moving through the blood and fire, wanting to see what had happened to the others.

Could the many quasi-saints find a way to break the deadlock? However, he had only been escaping through the flames for a short while when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if an extremely terrifying being was watching him, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Before Lin Chen could react, an invisible, terrifying force instantly pressed in from all sides.

Lin Chen's body exploded with a bang, turning into a cloud of blood mist, which was instantly engulfed by blood fire and burned to ashes.

Inside the exquisite tower, Lin Chen's face was slightly pale, and his eyes were filled with horror.

"My clone was wiped out, instantly killed. I didn't even have time to react..."

Lin Chen raised his head, looked at the women in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "A Quasi-Saint could not possibly possess such power; the one who made the move was most likely a Saint!"

All the women had somber expressions.

saint!

These two words are like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone, giving people a direct feeling.

"So many quasi-saints, were they all wiped out in one fell swoop?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "I don't know. I think they must have some trump cards, or a way to contact the Immortal Emperor. If they're lucky, they might be able to escape, but the ordinary legion soldiers will probably be in big trouble."

After a pause, Lin Chen looked up and said, "We're still not out of danger. I don't know if that person has noticed us. Sister Qi, let's move slowly underground, not downwards, but horizontally, slowly, and away from where we were just now."

"it is good!"

Qi agreed, "Just now, the sky was filled with blood and fire, and there was fighting everywhere. The spiritual energy was chaotic, so he might not have noticed us. In addition, there are only a little over a thousand of us, which is insignificant compared to the entire battlefield. I think we should be safe."

Lin Chen sighed: "We've already lost this battle. It was a trap, and we walked right into it. What's worse is that the demons also have the saints who were hiding and hadn't made a move yet. We've suffered a huge loss."

"This battle should end soon. After the formation is activated, the demon army should conduct a thorough search of this area. If nothing unexpected happens, they will take advantage of the situation to launch another attack on the Immortal Realm."

"If we show ourselves in this area, we'll probably attract the pursuit of quasi-saints. So safety is our top priority right now. Don't do any exploration, conceal your presence, and just pretend we're a rock and stay hidden."

"Anyway, the Immortal-Demon Passage is now completely secure and will not be closed again. As long as we survive, we will eventually be able to return."

"Sister Qi, once we're hundreds of miles away from where we were before, let's not move any further. Let's stay here for a month first."

Qi replied calmly, "Alright!"

Gu Yuexi said with a bitter face, "Even the saints of the Demon Clan can take action, but none of the saints of the Immortal Realm step forward? They just watch the Immortal Realm being slaughtered and do nothing?"

Qi calmly said, "Sages see everyone as ants. Why would they care about the lives of ants? All their actions are based on their own purposes or interests. Trying to use the safety of the Immortal Realm or the survival of their race to bind them and make them take action is simply impossible."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

When a sage attacks someone below the sage level, no one can stop him.
Faced with absolute power, all other methods seem so fragile and laughable.

Only a saint can withstand a saint.

Lin Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Let's not think about that now. Just focus on hiding and preserving our lives. We can't control everything, and we can't ask a sage for help, but that doesn't mean the Immortal Emperor is incapable. He'll definitely find a way. The Immortal Realm won't be defeated just like that. As long as the Immortal Emperor is safe, everything will be fine..."
