The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 686 Oh right, I was the one who slapped you twice.

The sky above the market was filled with practitioners.

The argument between Lin Chen and Sun Hai at the market entrance had already attracted a lot of people, and the explosion when the fire blade hit the mountain instantly alarmed everyone around.

Some people stood on the rooftops of the market, while others flew in the air on swords, watching from afar.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Lin Chen cleanly and efficiently cripple Sun Hai's cultivation.

This is a tough guy!

To cripple one's cultivation is far more ruthless than severing an arm; it represents an irreconcilable hatred.

Even though Sun Hai is crippled, he still has a master and the Myriad Manifestations Sect above him.

Lin Chen crippled Sun Hai today, which is a slap in the face to the Myriad Elephants Sect. This matter will definitely be difficult to resolve. Didn't you see that Liu Yuan has already sent a message to Liu Ruqing?

This kid's done for!

A flash of white light appeared on the horizon, and a figure streaked across the sky. Before the person even arrived, an angry voice boomed like thunder.

"Who dares to be so insolent here, daring to bully my daughter?"

Liu Ruqing, who looked like a middle-aged man, fell from the sky with an overwhelming aura. The crowd of onlookers retreated in fear of being caught in the blast.

Lin Chen remained calm and showed no sign of backing down, calculating the situation in his mind.

Liu Ruqing looks very strong; if I were to fight him, I would most likely be at a disadvantage.

Looks like I'll have to assert my authority and call for reinforcements.

If Qiao Wei were here, everything would be fine, but Qiao Wei probably hasn't returned yet. If all else fails, we'll have to bring out the cave master, this big shot.

When Liu Yuan saw Liu Ruqing arrive, she immediately stopped trembling and grabbed his arm: "Dad, Lin Chen killed Sun Chengping and Liu Wuxiang. Sun Hai came for revenge, but he was injured and his golden core was destroyed. Now he's going to attack me..."

Liu Ruqing's gaze swept over Sun Hai, who lay on the ground like a blood-soaked gourd, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes: "Kid, you're asking for death!"

Without a word, Liu Ruqing grabbed at the air, and instantly the spiritual energy in the sky roared, transforming into a giant spiritual hand like a towering mountain, which fell towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was taken aback. This guy started killing without asking a single question?
If that palm strike lands, even if I don't die, I'll be seriously injured.

Lin Chen flipped the fire mirror, and instantly a huge fire blade over a hundred meters long shot upwards, slashing towards the giant spirit's hand falling from the sky.

The fire blade and the giant's hand collided in the blink of an eye, causing a violent collision that seemed to shake the heavens and earth. The fire blade shattered, and the giant's hand was mostly destroyed. The remaining half of the hand fell from the sky, shaking the cliffs and sending dirt flying with astonishing force.

Lin Chen stood still, but nothing happened, because the giant spirit's hand that had been hovering over him had been shattered by the fire blade.

This scene shocked everyone.

"What kind of magic weapon is Lin Chen using? It's so powerful!"

"Elder Liu is at the late Nascent Soul stage, right? Lin Chen actually managed to block him, that's too exaggerated!"

"This magic weapon is incredibly powerful. It instantly killed Sun Hai, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, with a single strike, and now it has shattered the attack of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with another blow..."

"One side shimmers with water, the other side roars with fire—could this be the Water-Fire Mirror, the signature magic weapon of the Water-Fire Immortal?"

Seeing that his attack had been broken by Lin Chen, Liu Ruqing felt extremely embarrassed. But when he took a closer look at the Water-Fire Mirror in Lin Chen's hand, his expression changed drastically.

"Water and Fire Mirror!"

Liu Ruqing's eyes suddenly turned fiery and greedy!
With this mirror, the Water and Fire Immortal roamed the cultivation world with impunity. This Water and Fire Mirror inspired fear in countless people and coveted the desire of many others.

Now this Water-Fire Mirror has actually appeared in the hands of a Golden Core stage youth, and he even crippled his own disciple?

Haha, isn't this a golden opportunity?

Given this grudge, no one can say anything if I openly and honestly seize the Water and Fire Mirror, right?

Liu Ruqing was overjoyed and even somewhat grateful to Sun Hai, who was crippled on the ground. If it weren't for you, where would I have such a good excuse to take action?

Liu Ruqing pretended not to recognize the Water-Fire Mirror and sneered, "So you're just being arrogant because you have a powerful magic weapon. I'd like to see just how arrogant you can be!"

Lin Chen was not fooled by the burning desire and greed in Liu Ruqing's eyes. He instantly understood Liu Ruqing's plan: this guy was going to use Sun Hai's matter to kill and steal treasure!

Just as Liu Ruqing waved his hand, took out an ancient-looking animal skin drum, and was about to strike it, Lin Chen suddenly spoke up: "Peak Master Qiao once said that she doesn't care about the conflicts and grudges among her peers, but if anyone bullies others by abusing their power, she will personally deal with them. Elder Liu, are you sure you can withstand Peak Master Qiao's wrath?"

Liu Ruqing was stunned for a moment. He had been in seclusion cultivating and was unaware of what was happening at the entrance of the secret realm. Hearing this, he was taken aback and then sneered: "Peak Master Qiao has never been involved in this matter. Who are you trying to fool?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "If you don't believe me, ask your daughter. She even got slapped twice because of this. Oh, those two slaps were personally ordered by Peak Master Qiao, and I did them..."
