The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3096 I... didn't die?
Bai Manmei's face was pale. She looked at Bai Jingtian, who stood not far away with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Bai Jingtian remained hidden in the shadows, perhaps to save himself, or perhaps for the Sacred Path Orb?
If both are present, which is more important?
Bai Jingtian calmly said, "Those things are not important. What's important is that you're trapped in the formation with nowhere to escape."

Lin Chen laughed: "I'm in the formation, but your daughter is in my hands. So, Mr. Bai, are you prepared to trade your life for mine?"

Bai Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since you've entered the formation, there are only two outcomes. First, hand over Manmei's true soul and the Holy Dao Orb, and leave safely. Second, you kill her, I kill you, and we leave with the Holy Dao Orb. You have to choose one. Don't think that by holding Manmei's life in your hands, you can hold me in your hands. If that were the case, what would be the point of me setting up this formation? Would it be a waste of effort?"

Lin Chen was not afraid at all, and looked at Bai Jingtian with a smile: "Do you think there is a third possibility, that is, you kill me, I kill your daughter, but in the end I am still fine, and you don't get the Holy Dao Orb?"

Bai Jingtian frowned slightly, staring intently at Lin Chen, seemingly trying to discern the truthfulness of Lin Chen's words and his reliance on them.

Even a quasi-saint wouldn't be able to escape from such a large formation in a short time, so why was Lin Chen so certain that he was alright?
Bai Manmei glanced at the smiling Lin Chen, and suddenly the image of that stunningly beautiful woman who had easily won over the two of them flashed through her mind.

She should be with Lin Chen, right?

With a Quasi-Saint present, even if my godfather wanted to kill Lin Chen, it probably wouldn't be easy.

White Cranberry remained silent.

She could have reminded her adoptive father that there was a powerful quasi-saint by Lin Chen's side, but she suddenly didn't want to say it.

If his adoptive father cares about him, he naturally won't take action. If his adoptive father doesn't care about him, then what's the point of him saying anything?

I was raised by my adoptive father. If he came for the Holy Path Orb, then I should just die and not cause my adoptive father any more trouble.

The three of them remained silent for a moment, locked in a stalemate.

Bai Jingtian's face was cold and his eyes were sharp. Bai Manmei's expression was complicated and she remained silent. Lin Chen, on the other hand, was all smiles and seemed to care nothing. He looked at Bai Jingtian and then at Bai Manmei with great interest, as if he found the current situation very interesting.

Bai Jingtian raised his hand, and in response to his movement, the stars in the sky suddenly shone brightly, and the pressure within the formation suddenly increased dramatically.

Lin Chen felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on him, his bones cracking and popping, as if his body would be completely crushed by this terrifying force in the next second.

Lin Chen, panting, said, "If you're going to make a move, then make a move. Stop dawdling like a woman. If you're too scared to make a move, then just withdraw from this formation and let me go. Don't waste any more time here."

Bai Jingtian turned to look at Bai Manmei: "Manmei, what do you say?"

Bai Manmei lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, and said softly, "I have no objection. Godfather, you can do whatever you want. I... don't care."

Bai Jingtian was silent for a few seconds, then turned to stare at Lin Chen: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Who isn't afraid of death? The problem is you can't kill me, so why should I be afraid?"

Can't be killed?

Bai Jingtian suddenly sensed something and frowned: "What's your strength?"

Lin Chen cursed, "What do you care about my strength? Fight if you want, kill if you want. Hey, why do you have so many fuss over nothing?"

Bai Jingtian ignored Lin Chen and turned to look at Bai Manmei: "You should know his strength, right?"

Bai Manmei gave Bai Jingtian a strange look and answered softly, "It seems to be a mid-grade Grand Luo Immortal..."

Bai Jingtian stared at Lin Chen and suddenly asked, "You're not Lin Chen?"

A person's appearance can be faked, but their abilities cannot.

Bai Jingtian, who controlled the entire formation, was naturally very clear about its power. Although the formation was indeed very powerful, it was not enough to make Lin Chen, a mid-grade Grand Luo Immortal, look like this.

He was completely incapable of struggling!
If we rule out the possibility that Lin Chen is acting, then it can only mean one thing: the person inside the formation is not Lin Chen!

Why was the person before him so calm? His life was clearly in someone else's hands, about to die suddenly, yet he didn't seem to care at all. This was clearly illogical. Lin Chen blinked and laughed, "Don't talk nonsense. Of course I'm Lin Chen. Believe it or not, I'll make your daughter die suddenly to prove it to you."

Bai Manmei looked speechless and gave Lin Chen a resentful look.

You guys are all out here strategizing and fighting, and I'm the only one who's unlucky, huh?

Bai Manmei subconsciously assumed that Lin Chen's reliance was on the quasi-saints residing within his magical artifacts, so she agreed with everything Lin Chen said.

It was clear that his adoptive father alone could not kill Lin Chen; the only person he could kill was himself.

Bai Jingtian's expression also became quite subtle; he never expected the situation to unfold before him.

He naturally couldn't let Lin Chen prove it like that, but he refused to submit and kept telling him to kill him.

Since that's the case, then we might as well give it a shot.

Bai Jingtian raised his hand, and the pressure on Lin Chen instantly lessened.

Lin Chen straightened up: "What, you've come to your senses and aren't going to kill me anymore?"

Bai Jingtian said coldly, "I knew it, you really are Lin Chen..."

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, the stars in the sky suddenly shone brightly, and the vast spiritual energy around Lin Chen suddenly surged.

"boom!"

Bai Manmei opened her eyes wide in horror, watching as Lin Chen opened his mouth, only to have his body suddenly explode and turn into a cloud of blood mist.

Finished!

White Blossom's heart skipped a beat. Resigned, she closed her eyes and awaited death.

Even though Lin Chen died extremely suddenly, how fast can death be faster than his thoughts?
Since he's going to die anyway, he'll definitely destroy his true soul.

That's it!

So be it, let's end it all!
Consider this as returning all my flesh and blood to my godfather.

One second!
Two seconds!

Three seconds!

Bai Manmei opened her eyes in surprise, looked down at her body, and her eyes revealed deep confusion.

How could I not be dead?
Did Lin Chen let him off the hook?
wrong!

Bai Manmei suddenly came to her senses. Lin Chen had a Quasi-Saint by his side. He clearly had the opportunity to summon a Quasi-Saint, but he did nothing and just provoked Bai Jingtian, and was eventually killed cleanly.

Bai Manmei was very clever; the "third possibility" that Lin Chen had mentioned earlier suddenly flashed through her mind.

That's right, I didn't die. It wasn't that Lin Chen was kind enough to spare me before he died, but that Lin Chen was actually dead!

My life is still in Lin Chen's hands, which is why I'm still alive!

Then the problem is coming.

Where is Lin Chen?
What happened to Lin Chen, who just died?
