The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 980 The Gui Family's Great Secret Technique: Berserk Technique

A fortune teller?

Lin Chen's doubts were finally explained. No wonder the four guards were so powerful, far surpassing experts in the Void Realm, yet they were unable to completely sweep them away.

He possesses the lifespan of an immortal, but not the corresponding strength.

They are slaves of the immortals.

Lin Chen asked the most crucial question: "What are they guarding here, or rather, what is the secret of Death Valley?"

Gui Chang remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh: "This is the place where an immortal fell, and they were ordered to guard a part of that immortal's body..."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly widened.

Legend has it that a celestial being fell in Death Valley, and his blood, which was spilled across the land, caused all the monsters to mutate and the dead to be resurrected, thus turning Death Valley into a desolate wasteland.

The legend is actually true!
A powerful immortal truly perished here, and his body is suppressed here. The Sea of ​​the Dead, the horde of demonic beasts, and Ji Ruxue and the others outside are the guardians of this place.

Lin Chen remained silent for a long time before asking softly, "Just how powerful are immortals?"

Gui Chang sighed, "Naturally, it is very strong, and no cultivator from the Wilderness Realm can rival it."

Lin Chen asked, "Senior, why did you seal yourself in here? Why don't you escape?"

Gui Chang smiled bitterly, "When I first broke into this place, I fought my way in and finally saw the body of an immortal. Then I was injured by the immortal's blood and was pursued by the undead guards. Unable to escape, I had no choice but to use the ultimate freezing technique to freeze myself here, thus avoiding being killed by the undead guards..."

"My body is severely injured and ultimately frozen, and I cannot break free myself. I was clinging to life, hoping that someone could solve this mystery so that I might be able to escape. Who knew that this wait would last for ten thousand years, until I was exhausted and my death was imminent."

Gui Chang's aged voice held a hint of caution as he asked again, "Why didn't those guards attack you?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have cultivated a technique that allows me to conceal my life force fluctuations. This way, they will see me as a stone and naturally will not attack me."

Gui Chang's voice suddenly realized: "I see. Did you come here alone, or were there others with you?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "There are many people, at least dozens of them at the Great Perfection of the Void Realm alone. Everyone is forming teams to forcibly explore Death Valley..."

Lin Chen also recounted how he had been framed: "If I hadn't been framed, I would have gone with everyone else, and I wouldn't have fallen behind so much, only to discover this place at the very end."

"It's fate, it's fate!" Gui Chang exclaimed. "When I was on my last legs and all hope was gone, a destined person was sent to me, ensuring that my Gui family's secret techniques would not be lost. Now, answer me one question: are you a good person or a bad person?"

The Gui family's secret techniques?

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then a huge joy suddenly rose in his heart.

The eight great families of ancient times all possessed unparalleled secret techniques. Shrinking the earth into an inch was the unique secret technique of the Jiang family. The Gui family also had its own unique secret technique. These secret techniques were all lost in the long river of history. Unexpectedly, I encountered a living Gui family member who was even preparing to pass on his Gui family's great secret technique.

Lin Chen didn't know what kind of answer he wanted, so he answered frankly, "I'm just an ordinary person. I don't do things that harm others, and I do things that benefit others within my ability. In short, I'm not a bad person..."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen revealed the Human Emperor Seal: "You should know about the Human Emperor Seal, right? Although I am not yet the Human Emperor and am not fully recognized by it, it has saved my life twice. I think it can at least prove my character."

Gui Chang's tone was filled with undisguised surprise: "The Human Emperor's Seal, you are the new Human Emperor?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Not necessarily. It's just temporarily with me. It probably hasn't fully accepted me yet."

Gui Chang asked in a deep voice, "Every time the Human Emperor's Seal appears, it's always a time when the human race is in danger. What's happening outside now?"

Lin Chen replied, "Nothing much is happening yet. The biggest thing is probably that the Demon Emperor's Heart has found a new successor. The Demon Emperor's Heart is currently merging with the successor, and all the demon races in the world are eager to make a move."

"The demon clan..."

Gui Chang was silent for a few seconds, then laughed and said, "Good, perhaps it really is fate, or destiny. You are actually a candidate for the Human Emperor recognized by the Human Emperor Seal. What is your name?"

"Lin Chen, Lin as in forest, Chen as in time."

Gui Chang said in a deep voice, "Come here and get closer to Xuanbing."

Lin Chen did as instructed and approached the thick layer of ice. Gui Chang whispered, "Lin Chen, the Berserk Technique of my Gui family is unparalleled in the world and is known as one of the ten greatest secret techniques in the world. Now I will pass on the Berserk Technique to you, hoping that you can pass it on and prevent it from being lost."

Berserk?
Lin Chen asked curiously, "Senior, what kind of ability and effect is the Berserk Technique?"

Gui Chang replied, "After casting Berserk, the caster will enter a berserk state, and their attack power will instantly increase tenfold..."
