Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 609 The Ultimate Battle
Over the forest.

Two figures moved continuously, and as they moved, the trees in the forest below collapsed one after another.

Holding a golden mace, Yan Jun unleashed countless golden dragons with each swing, tearing apart the very space around him, causing the surrounding area to gradually descend into chaos.

Rumble.

These golden dragons crashed into Lin Chen, creating a deafening sound.

Struck by the golden dragon, Lin Chen staggered in the air, sometimes even falling several feet, but the next moment he would throw another punch, truly becoming stronger with each battle.

These golden dragons merely bumped into Lin Chen, but failed to leave any marks on him.

Lin Chen's physical body was far more resilient than Yan Jun had imagined, like a humanoid divine weapon.

Although Lin Chen was occasionally knocked away and overturned by the golden dragon, the direction of their battlefield movement was that Yan Jun was constantly retreating.

Although Lin Chen appeared to be at a disadvantage, Yan Jun was actually helpless against Lin Chen's monstrous physique. To avoid being approached by Lin Chen, he could only retreat time and time again.

In the overall battle, Lin Chen held the initiative.

Jiang Qing noticed this, and the worry on her face eased slightly.

A quarter of an hour later, the two were thousands of feet apart from where they fought. The energy released from their battle almost destroyed the entire mountain range below.

At this moment, the power released by Yan Jun's golden mace was weaker than before. Although a sixth-level innate realm expert has a cave heaven and innate energy that is almost inexhaustible, the golden mace in Yan Jun's hand releases more than just innate energy when it is swung.

Just then, a glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he took a step forward. There were no fancy footwork, only a pure and breathtaking burst of speed and power!
Ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) can be covered in an instant!
Yan Jun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he retreated backward, while sweeping out his golden mace to intercept Lin Chen.

However, this time, the roaring golden dragon, facing Lin Chen's fist wind, let out a mournful cry and instantly vanished without a trace. Lin Chen's fist followed, crashing down on the golden mace like a meteor.

hum!
The golden mace vibrated, and Yan Jun felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, almost causing him to drop the mace.

"Lin Chen, I'll spare your life for today!"

Yan Jun had already begun to consider retreating. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of rainbow light and disappeared into the distance.

Lin Chen's physical strength was beyond his expectations, catching him off guard. He decided to retreat first and think carefully about how to counter Lin Chen's powerful physique.

There's still plenty of time and opportunities ahead for the ancient tomb.

"Walk?"

Lin Chen wore a cold smile. At this point, he and the royal family were locked in a life-or-death struggle. Yan Jun had personally come to this ancient tomb to assassinate him, so how could he possibly let him leave?

He didn't rely solely on his physical body; he also possessed innate power and the powerful Canglan Technique.

call out!
Golden wings appeared behind Lin Chen, and he chased after Yan Jun in the direction he had fled, catching up in just over ten breaths.

call out!
Lin Chen's Azure Eyes shot out from between his brows, and Yan Jun's expression changed drastically. He held his golden mace in front of him, and the dark blue beam of light fell on the golden mace, making a crisp metallic clanging sound. Two marks were clearly visible on the golden mace.

At this moment, Yan Jun was truly panicked and dared not linger.

boom!
Above the sky, two figures streaked across the heavens one after the other, accompanied by occasional booming sounds. Each sound was accompanied by one of the figures falling and then fleeing again.

Yan Jun was on the run, and Lin Chen was in pursuit. The two figures had already traversed a long distance in this ancient tomb. This earth-shattering commotion also began to alert the other members of the four clans who had entered the ancient tomb.

"This... even this prince of the royal family is no match for Lin Chen."

The four members of the Zhang family who entered were all astonished when they saw Yan Jun, who had flashed across the sky looking disheveled, and then Lin Chen, who was chasing after them like the Grim Reaper.

The four of them did not choose to travel separately this time, also because they considered that the other three families were stronger than them. If they traveled separately, they were worried that they would encounter the other three families in the process of finding the god-level fragments.

The four members of the Zhang family didn't have high expectations for the loot from this ancient tomb. They would be quite satisfied if they could obtain one or two god-level fragments.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity it's inside an ancient tomb. If it were outside, the news would probably cause a stir."

"This prince consort of the Flower Clan, Lin Chen, is truly extraordinary. Coming from a desolate place in the martial arts world, he was able to make a royal prince flee."

The Zhang family naturally didn't have much respect for the royal family. The royal family was already in its twilight years, and a change of dynasty wouldn't be long. Perhaps they would witness this scene in their lifetime.

Even if the royal family is not on its last legs, the Zhang family, which has produced a god-level expert, does not have much fear of the royal family. Perhaps the Zhang family's overall strength is not very strong now, but the foundation left by their ancestors is enough to make the royal family wary.

"Since we can't find any god-level fragments right now, we might as well go and watch the excitement together."

Zhang Wuji's face showed great interest, and the other three also had the same idea; a battle of this level was not so easy to see.

Unless they are enemies, or sects like the Canglan Sect and the Bahuang Sect are at war, it is rare to see battles between experts at the sixth level of the Innate Realm.

At this moment, it wasn't just the Zhang family who were paying attention to this battle; more and more people who had entered the ancient tomb also noticed the battle commotion in the sky and all rushed towards the same direction.

……

One hour, two hours...

one day!
At the edge of the canyon, Yan Jun's speed had gradually slowed down compared to before. His all-out escape, even at the cost of burning his life force several times, had taken a huge toll on him.

If he runs any further, he will likely be unable to fight anymore.

Yan Jun stopped and hovered in the air. Lin Chen, who was behind him, also slowed down when he saw Yan Jun stop.

With his speed, he could have caught up with Yan Jun half a day ago, but when he saw Yan Jun burning his life force to escape, he changed his mind and chose to follow Yan Jun, forcing the other party to keep burning his life force.

Having fought with Yan Jun for so long, he was certain that Yan Jun had revealed all his cards and there was no possibility of a comeback, but he was not complacent either.

Perhaps Yan Jun didn't have a trump card to turn the tide, but he might also have a trump card to take himself down with him.

Now that Yan Jun has stopped, it's either because he has nowhere else to go and chooses to give up on himself, or he's planning to fight to the death.

Lin Chen remained unhurried and stopped at a distance of thirty feet from Yan Jun, giving him ample time to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

"Lin Chen, I'll say it one last time: let's call it a day. After we leave the ancient tomb, I can guarantee that I will not lay a hand on you again."

Hearing Yan Jun's words, Lin Chen laughed, a mocking smile playing on his lips. Even at this point, this guy was still putting on airs like a royal prince.

If he doesn't attack me, it's only because he has the ability to deal with me.

"I admit your physical body is formidable, but my royal family has ruled the Yan Dynasty for countless years. Our foundation is beyond your comprehension. If you push me too far, we may both perish here." "No!"

Lin Chen shook his head: "The only one who will die here is you, not me."

Seeing Lin Chen's indifferent expression, Yan Jun knew that the other party would not back down. He could save his life, but he could not surrender or admit defeat, at least not to Lin Chen.

This is why, even when he was at his wit's end, his words remained condescending.

"Dongfang Canglang, if you don't act now, when will you? As long as you defeat Lin Chen with me, I will voluntarily transfer my imperial fortune to you."

At this moment, many figures had arrived behind the two, including Dongfang Canglang.

"Hahaha, I never thought that you, Yan Jun, would ever want to live."

Dongfang Canglang's figure transformed into a rainbow in the sky, arriving at Yan Jun's side almost instantly, his eyes filled with mockery.

“Your Dongfang family is destined to be the next ruler of the dynasty. It is only in accordance with the will of Heaven that I am handing over the imperial power to you.”

Yan Jun tried to justify himself by saying that in his eyes, Dongfang Canglang was of the same status as him, and because Dongfang Canglang was that person's only offspring, his status was even higher than his own.

Choosing to compromise with Dongfang Canglang did not disgrace the royal family, because it was the inevitable trend, and even the emperor's brother would eventually have to compromise with the Dongfang family.

But what is Lin Chen? He's a poor boy from a desolate island in the martial arts world. He only got to embark on the path of martial arts because he caught the eye of the Flower Clan princess.

Yes.

Yan Jun studied Lin Chen's martial arts cultivation path, but in his opinion, the story of the poor fisherman's son's rise to power was all fake. Lin Chen's acquaintance with the Flower Clan princess on the island must have been because the Flower Clan secretly provided Lin Chen with martial arts resources.

This so-called story of a poor boy's rise to success is a halo deliberately created for Lin Chen by the Flower Clan. Moreover, Lin Chen's breakthrough to the sixth level of the Innate Realm in such a short time is definitely not something that can be achieved by so-called martial arts talent. Perhaps this is also an arrangement of the Flower Clan, and that the Flower Clan has poured hundreds of years of savings into Lin Chen.

"Now they've become pragmatic."

Dongfang Canglang smiled when he heard Yan Jun's words. He didn't like Yan Jun, but it depended on who he was compared to. Compared to Lin Chen, the friction between him and Yan Jun was negligible.

Since he appeared in the martial arts world, the person he most wanted to get rid of was Lin Chen.

It wasn't just because Lin Chen and Yin Wushuang of the Canglan Sect had made him lose face, but also because he, like the royal family, harbored a sense of apprehension towards Lin Chen.

The royal family wanted to kill Lin Chen because Lin Chen accelerated the dissipation of the divine seal, and the reason they wanted to kill Lin Chen was the same... This dissipating fortune had already begun to slowly flow into Lin Chen.

Luck is elusive and elusive; even Lin Chen himself was unaware of it. However, with his father's guidance, he knew very well that Lin Chen's rapid advancement in strength in such a short time was due to the presence of luck, which allowed him to obtain several great opportunities in succession.

If Lin Chen continues to grow like this, his plan to collect luck will fall through, which is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

Jiang Qing arrived at that moment and stood directly beside Lin Chen, looking at Dongfang Canglang: "With Young Master Dongfang's status, I suppose you wouldn't join forces with someone?"

"Don't try to provoke me with words. I've never cared about empty fame."

Dongfang Canglang and Yan Jun exchanged a glance, and at that moment they both understood each other's meaning: no matter what, they could not let Lin Chen leave the ancient tomb alive today.

As for joining forces?
Dongfang Canglang chuckled: "Since Brother Yan is so generous, then I will reciprocate and give Brother Yan a treasure."

With a flick of his right hand, Dongfang Canglang caused a pagoda to float in the air.

"This thing is called the Refining God Tower. I think Brother Yan should be familiar with it."

Yan Jun looked at the pagoda floating in the air with a glint in his eyes. He was certainly familiar with this object; it was a treasure that the Dongfang family had used back then.

The Dongfang family member is too strong. Even before entering the Myriad Manifestations realm, he already possesses an invincible aura. However, he has not yet had enough of fighting in the martial arts world. In order to make other powerful individuals willing to fight him, he even sealed his physical body.

He sealed his physical body with the Refining God Tower, fighting his opponents solely with his divine soul.

The power of the divine soul is astonishing, but divine soul attacks are also aimed at the divine soul. However, the one from the Dongfang family used this tower to seal his physical body, and actually used his divine soul as his physical body.

The two main characteristics of the soul are its great power but its fragility.

Especially among experts of the same level, if one cannot completely overwhelm the other with their spiritual power, neither side will usually use their spiritual power in battle, as a slight mistake could result in serious injury.

"go with!"

With a flick of his finger, Dongfang Canglang sent the pagoda hovering over Lin Chen's head.

"Lin Chen, be careful."

Jiang Qing immediately called out a warning, and at the same time swung her long sword at the pagoda. But strangely, the sword intent passed right through the pagoda and failed to stop it in the slightest.

At the same time, Lin Chen retreated rapidly, but the pagoda was even faster than him. Almost as soon as he retreated three zhang, the pagoda appeared above his head.

The pagoda's light descended, enveloping Lin Chen. Lin Chen felt his body being imprisoned by a special energy, and neither his blood and qi nor his innate power could circulate at this moment.

"Lin Chen, don't worry. Although I have a grudge against you, I won't target you. With this pagoda, your physical body is invincible. In comparison, it's Brother Yan who suffered a loss."

Upon seeing numerous figures appear behind him, Dongfang Canglang still feigned concern and spoke up, offering himself an excuse to intervene in the fight.

"Despicable! Knowing full well that Lin Chen's physical body is the strongest, he deliberately sealed it. How could the dignified Young Master Dongfang do such a shameful thing? What right does someone who does such a thing have to be the ruler of the world?"

Jiang Qing's eyes were filled with frost, and she didn't care about the instant change in expression of the other warriors from various races who had arrived after she said those words. Behind her, flowers began to bloom.

Lilies, plum blossoms, roses...

She would not stand idly by while her junior brother was bullied, even though she had not yet fully mastered the racial supernatural powers.

"Little princess!"

The Flower Clan members who arrived later all looked worried when they saw the blooming flowers behind their little princess.

If the little princess forcibly uses a racial supernatural power that she has not yet mastered, she will suffer a backlash, and it may even cut off her path to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

"Senior sister, trust me."

A hand was placed on Jiang Qing's shoulder, and Jiang Qing turned to look at her junior brother.

Even with his physical body sealed, Lin Chen showed no sign of panic: "When it comes to the soul, I, junior brother, have never been afraid of anyone."
