Chapter 322

The ship traveled six hundred li.

The capital of Yan Kingdom was completely invisible, and at this moment the river surface began to become narrow.

"After passing this Jiefeng Gorge, we won't be far from our Daliang territory."

On the ship, Kong Qing looked at the peaks on both sides and whispered.

The Vice Deans of various martial academies didn't hide the possibility of encountering an ambush by the Han Kingdom from the disciples below, which also caused the nerves of the disciples of various martial academies to be tense all the way.

And after passing this Jiefeng Gorge, it would be a wide expanse of water, and even if the Han Kingdom wanted to set an ambush, they couldn't.

Lin Chen was also on the deck at this moment, looking up at the peaks on both sides. He had noticed why this place was called Jiefeng Gorge when they came; there were peaks on both sides, belonging to the narrowest part of the entire waterway.

If the Han Kingdom really had the heart to ambush, this place was the best place.

Just as Lin Chen had this thought in his heart, the next moment a giant wave suddenly appeared on the river surface, and at the same time, dozens of figures whistled over from the peaks on both sides.

"Enemy attack, all disciples be on alert!"

The moment the giant wave surged, Hou Zhan Tian's voice came out, and at the same time, the Vice Dean of the Qingyun Martial Academy appeared on the deck, stepping out and punching toward the giant wave.

The giant wave of dozens of zhang collapsed violently, and a figure flew out from inside. Seeing this figure, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed; it was the Vice Dean of a certain martial academy in the Han Kingdom.

It seems the Han Kingdom had indeed made a move.

However, there was no panic on the deck. All the martial academy disciples were ready for battle, and at this moment, facing the martial arts experts whistling from the peaks on both sides, the other two Vice Deans also made a move to block them at the same time.

Hou Zhan Tian's figure appeared on the deck, not far from Lin Chen, his gaze looking at the left peak.

There, Lu Qiguang's figure stood on a giant rock.

"Lin Chen injured the disciples of the Han Kingdom. Leave Lin Chen behind, and this seat will let you Daliang martial artists leave."

Hearing Lu Qiguang's words, Lin Chen laughed. At this time, the Han Kingdom still wanted to use the means of sowing discord.

"This seat can swear that as long as you hand over Lin Chen, you Liang Kingdom martial artists can return safely, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what can you, Lu Qiguang, do?"

Hou Zhan Tian sneered repeatedly, and the disciples of the various martial academies of the Liang Kingdom also sneered. No one would fall for such a trick of sowing discord.

Furthermore, to survive by abandoning Lin Chen, what face would they have to return to Daliang?

"It's not just what Lin Lin Shixiong Lu can do, but also add our Zheng Kingdom."

On the other side of the peak, several figures appeared. Several Second-Rank martial arts experts from the Zheng Kingdom also appeared one after another, and at the same time, behind them, there were also the figures of many martial academy disciples from the Zheng Kingdom.

The Han Kingdom and Zheng Kingdom have joined forces?

Hou Zhan Tian's expression was cold. He had thought that the Han Kingdom would make a move against Daliang, but he hadn't expected the Zheng Kingdom to choose to follow the Han Kingdom and make a move so quickly.

"Hou Zhan Tian, you won't be able to walk out of here alive today."

The martial arts expert from the Zheng Kingdom had a look of pride on his face. The Han Kingdom wanted to make a move against the Liang Kingdom, and the Zheng Kingdom was absolutely cheering. The demons in the country also always wanted to re-occupy the mountains of the Liang Kingdom.

Compared to the vast territory of the Liang Kingdom, the territory of the Zheng Kingdom was still too small. Even if the martial arts families of the Zheng Kingdom cooperated with these demons, the ordinary people in the country were not enough to be blood food for the demons.

Lu Qiguang frowned. He hadn't thought about letting these martial arts geniuses of the Liang Kingdom leave, but he wanted to use words to dissipate the fighting spirit of the Liang Kingdom first, so that the battle would be easier.

One must know that although the number of Second-Rank martial artists on their side was greater than that of the Liang Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom only had four, but Hou Zhan Tian had entered the Second Rank very early, and if the other three Second-Rank martial artists of the Liang Kingdom fought for their lives, one person alone couldn't stop them.

This plan was for the Second-Rank martial artists of the two countries to deal with Hou Zhan Tian and the four, while the disciples of the two countries would deal with the martial academy disciples of the Liang Kingdom.

Among the martial academy disciples of the Liang Kingdom, only Lin Chen was a threat, but this time it wasn't a ranking tournament, and there was no need for one-on-one fighting. Let Huo Ruohong and Bian Xinjie and the others join forces, even if they couldn't kill Lin Chen, as long as they dragged Lin Chen down and slaughtered the other martial academy disciples of the Liang Kingdom, this Lin Chen wouldn't be able to run away.

"Are you all ready?"

Hou Zhan Tian spoke in a deep voice. The disciples of the four martial academies on the deck nodded in unison, no one having a look of fear on their faces.

"Kill one and break even, kill two and make a profit."

Li Yuan's long sword was unsheathed, and the other disciples also gripped their spirit weapons one after another.

Kill!

Neither side needed too many words.

"Hou Zhan Tian, come on!"

Lu Qiguang and the Zheng Kingdom experts came together, and Hou Zhan Tian also stepped out, rushing toward the two.

He had to fight one against two, including the other three Junior Brothers beside him, only in this way could he create opportunities for disciples like Lin Chen.

Several Second-Rank martial artists fought one after another, some rushing to the top of the peak, and some fighting on the river surface, but both sides tacitly chose to stay away from the area where the ship was located.

"Kill all these people from the Liang Kingdom."

"Junior Brothers, let's do it together!"

With the battle between Hou Zhan Tian and the others, the martial academy disciples from the Han Kingdom and Zheng Kingdom on the peaks on both sides also whistled toward the ship from the mountains. A height of twenty zhang was nothing to ranked martial artists.

"Junior Brothers, kill one and break even, kill two and make a profit."

Li Yuan roared, stepped out, and rushed toward an Eighth-Rank martial artist from the Han Kingdom on the opposite side, and the others also followed suit.

This ship couldn't withstand the battles of so many Eighth-Rank martial artists.

However, Lin Chen didn't move, but the Dragon Shadow Bow appeared in his hand, and his gaze also turned toward the side of the Zheng Kingdom martial academy disciples.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Three arrows were shot in succession, so fast that the three fastest Zheng Kingdom martial artists didn't even have time to react, and were directly pierced through the center of their brows by the golden arrows.

Nock an arrow, pull the bow!

Lin Chen was like a god of death at this moment, every arrow shot ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the other party.

Archery was extremely difficult to practice.

In battles of equal strength, it was difficult to exert an advantage.

However, in terms of crushing strength, the power of archery was incomparable to any other weapon.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Nine arrows, and on the side of the Zheng Kingdom martial academy disciples, nine disciples became corpses and fell into the water.

The Zheng Kingdom martial academy disciples who were originally rushing down from this side forcibly stopped their figures. Facing Lin Chen's bow and arrows, the faster they rushed, the faster they died.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Huo!"

A disciple of the Zheng Kingdom martial academy shouted, and on the other side, Huo Ruohong, who was still standing on the cliff, had an ugly expression. With his pride, he was unwilling to join forces with others, which was the reason why he didn't make a move the first time.

As for the Zheng Kingdom martial academy disciples, no matter how many died, it wouldn't make him frown.

But thinking of Deacon Lu's instructions, Huo Ruohong looked at Bian Xinjie and Ling Tianhao beside him and said coldly: "Let's do it together."

To deal with Lin Chen, he wasn't sure of winning alone.

So be it. After this battle, no one on the Liang Kingdom side would survive, and the fact that he joined forces with others to deal with Lin Chen wouldn't spread.

Bian Xinjie and Ling Tianhao had been waiting for Huo Ruohong's words. The two of them had been impatient for a long time. From the moment Lin Chen defeated Huo Ruohong, the two of them had already accepted the fact that their strength was not as good as Lin Chen's.

But as long as Lin Chen died, the humiliation received in the ranking tournament would vanish. No matter how strong the strength or how high the talent, a dead person is just a dead person. Only those who survive can continue to break through in martial arts.

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi, Huo Ruohong and the three are coming."

Meng Xing reminded Lin Chen on the side. Lin Chen nodded. He was already very satisfied with being able to shoot and kill nine Zheng Kingdom martial artists. This was still because Huo Ruohong gave him the opportunity.

"Lin Lin Shidi Meng, be careful yourself."

After instructing Meng Xing, Lin Chen's figure turned into an afterimage in place, rushing straight toward Huo Ruohong and the three.

These three were all Heaven Ranking experts, and their strength was a cut above the other Senior Brothers present. If he didn't make a move to block these three, the others wouldn't be the opponents of these three.

"Lin Chen, today is your death day."

Ling Tianhao had a cold expression on his face, his long sword slashing through the air. On the other side, Bian Xinjie waved his hands in the air, and dozens of sharp ice blades whistled over with the sound of breaking through the air.

At the very front, the ice phoenix phantom behind Huo Ruohong appeared again, and snowflakes appeared in the surrounding area. Three completely different killing intents completely enveloped Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, you can die with honor!"

Huo Ruohong's voice was cold. The ice phoenix soared into the sky, and the next moment it turned into a cold ice sword, slashing toward him.

Looking at the nine countries, below the middle rank, no one could take the joint attack of the three of them.

Huo Ruohong had this confidence, and Ling Tianhao and Bian Xinjie were the same. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces, waiting for the miserable state of Lin Chen's injury to appear.

"Town Mountain Score!"

Lin Chen let out a long whistle. At this moment, the Qi and blood all over his body operated to the extreme. The terrifying Qi and blood formed a blood-colored halo around his body, and the pores all over his body radiated golden light.

The ice blades released by Bian Xinjie melted instantly before touching the blood-colored halo, turning into a sky full of water mist.

This scene made Bian Xinjie's pupils contract.

Whoosh!

Ling Tianhao's sword light slashed on Lin Chen's shoulder, bursting out dazzling sparks, and the counter-shock force actually caused the sword body to burst with spiderweb cracks.

"This is impossible!"

The severe pain of Ling Tianhao's tiger mouth exploding hadn't dissipated yet, when he saw Lin Chen's five fingers clasping the back of the sword like iron pincers. The moment the bronze-colored knuckles closed, the sword body shattered instantly.

Ling Tianhao's pupils shrank and he was about to retreat, when an ice-blue trajectory suddenly flashed before his eyes—that was the afterimage left by Lin Chen's left index finger in the void.

Pfft!

The Canglan Finger directly pierced through the armor on his body. His proud ice-cold martial arts protective will was pierced through like thin paper, and a blood hole the size of a bowl exploded on his right chest instantly.

Seeing Ling Tianhao's injury, Huo Ruohong's expression didn't change at all. Lin Chen's disregard for everything to deal with Ling Tianhao also meant that he would have to bear his sword.

Boom!

The moment the sword light landed on Lin Chen, a smile curled up in Huo Ruohong's eyes. Lin Chen would either die or be seriously injured by this sword. Trading Lin Lin Shidi Ling's injury for Lin Chen's serious injury, this deal was worth it.

Lin Chen's figure fell suddenly, being directly slashed into the water by the sword light.

This scene made Li Yuan and the others not far away look anxious.

"Lin Lin Shidi!"

Li Yuan gave up on his opponent and was about to rush over, but the Han Kingdom martial artist fighting him wouldn't let him leave, his long spear bursting out and blocking Li Yuan's path.

Everyone knew that the battle on their side, the one that decided the victory of both sides, was this battle between Lin Chen and Huo Ruohong's three Senior Brothers.

Clearly, Lin Chen had lost.

Once Lin Lin Shixiong Huo and the three freed their hands, they would carry out a bloodbath on the Liang Kingdom martial academy disciples.

"It still has to be Lin Lin Shixiong Huo."

Bian Xinjie also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The momentum Lin Chen had just displayed made his heart palpitate. This was the first time he had felt fear toward a martial artist of the same age.

Fortunately, it was all over.

Lin Chen was dead, and his fear disappeared.

The future of the nine countries' martial arts still belonged to their Han Kingdom.

"Careful!"

Huo Ruohong, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly shouted, but this shout made Bian Xinjie and Ling Tianhao freeze at the same time, but the two reacted very quickly and wanted to move upward at the first moment.

Unfortunately, the injured Ling Tianhao was a step too slow.

An ice-blue light pillar shot out from under the water. Before Ling Tianhao could move a foot, the light pillar shot directly into his lower body from bottom to top, exploding out from the top of his head.

Bang!

Ling Tianhao's entire figure exploded like blood flowers in the air, his body torn apart, falling toward the water surface.

At the same time, gold appeared on the water surface, lifting a giant wave straight into the clouds. Everyone looked at this giant wave in shock. When the giant wave reached a height of ten zhang, a figure stood on top of the giant wave.

"It's Lin Lin Shidi!"

Seeing Lin Chen safe and sound, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the other Liang Kingdom martial academy disciples were the same.

They knew very well in their hearts that this time the Han Kingdom and Zheng Kingdom joined forces to deal with them, and the one they truly feared was Lin Lin Shidi. They didn't want to see Lin Lin Shidi return to Daliang.

"I knew Senior Lin Lin Shidi wouldn't lose so easily."

Meng Xing on the ship had a look of excitement in his eyes, and he and Kong Qing and the others were currently joining forces to deal with an Eighth-Rank martial artist.

At the top of the giant wave, Lin Chen was currently shirtless, and the Reverse Scale Armor on his body had also shattered. He had been able to take Huo Ruohong's sword just now, besides his own physical strength, the Reverse Scale Armor had also helped a lot, so he didn't get injured.

The Reverse Scale Armor could unload the energy of martial arts will.

"Really hard to kill!"

Huo Ruohong had a look of disappointment in his eyes, and Bian Xinjie's fear reached its peak at this moment. Not being able to injure Lin Chen like this made a bad premonition appear in his heart.

"My turn!"

Lin Chen had coldness in his eyes. The moment the giant wave descended and dissipated, his figure burst out, instantly flashing in front of Bian Xinjie. The latter was terrified and wanted to summon ice blades again, and at the same time, an ice shield appeared in front of him. However, in front of Lin Chen's ice-blue knuckles, the ice shield was as fragile as a bubble, shattering instantly.

"No, let me go!"

Bian Xinjie's expression could no longer hide the fear in his heart, but it was too late.

The sound of bone shattering clearly entered the ears of many martial artists at the scene. Lin Chen slapped Bian Xinjie on the chest, actually directly piercing through Bian Xinjie's chest. Everyone saw the most shocking scene of their lives.

Accompanied by the sound of muscle tearing, Bian Xinjie was actually torn into two halves by Lin Chen, blood splashing and falling on Lin Chen, like a god of slaughter.

The Han Kingdom and Zheng Kingdom martial artists who saw this scene were terrified. Huo Ruohong and the three joined forces, yet they couldn't suppress Lin Chen, and two were already dead, as for Huo Ruohong...

At this moment, Huo Ruohong's figure turned into a stream of light, retreating rapidly toward the rear.

"Adult, save me!"
