Chapter 439: Coercion and the Mastermind

Whoosh!

A cold sword light pierced down fiercely, and the sea surface was directly split into a ten-zhang trench. A Canglan Sect disciple couldn't wait and was hit by the sword qi, spraying blood in the air and flying backward.

Standing with a sword was a Canglan Beast condensed from pure Canglan energy! Its eyes were deep blue, containing not a trace of emotion, only naked destructive aura.

Whoosh!

The Canglan Beast swung its sword again, but the moment its long sword was just raised, a fire light whistled over, instantly enveloping it.

After a few breaths, the Canglan Beast let out a wail and dissipated in the flames.

"Cough, cough, thank you, Lin Lin Shidi."

The Canglan Sect disciple who was saved saw Lin Chen who had made the move, and there was a look of gratitude on his face.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, be careful."

Lin Chen didn't say much, because the situation before his eyes was very dangerous.

Wherever his gaze swept, the vast Canglan sea surface had now turned into a battlefield.

More than a dozen Canglan Beasts of various shapes, but all ferocious and violent, were crazily besieging the Canglan Sect disciples.

The aura emitted by each one far exceeded the ordinary, carrying a twisted killing will.

Blood poured onto the deep blue sea surface. Several Canglan Sect disciples' clothes were already shattered, and their bodies were covered with deep-to-the-bone wounds.

Even though Lin Chen kept supporting them, he couldn't stand the Canglan Beasts emerging from under the sea surface one after another.

After killing one batch, there was another batch.

"This Lin Chen's strength is truly beyond my expectations."

"Not a single Canglan Beast is his match in one round. This strength is truly terrifying."

Other sect disciples watching the battle on the beach looked at Lin Chen, who was like a god of war, and felt emotion in their hearts.

At this moment, they had to admit that this Lin Chen's strength was above theirs.

And in terms of age, Lin Chen was the youngest among them.

"It's useless. There are too many Canglan Beasts; they can't be killed. Now, Flawless-level Canglan Beasts haven't appeared yet. If several Flawless-level Canglan Beasts appear, once Lin Chen is dragged down, these Canglan Sect disciples will all die."

Escape from the sea surface?

The Canglan Sect disciples couldn't do it at all.

Previously, some Canglan Sect disciples tried to leave the beach, but those Canglan Beasts still pursued them. The beach was only this big, and there was nowhere to escape.

"Lin Lin Shidi Qiao, are you okay?"

Seeing Qiao Yuan surrounded by three Canglan Beasts, Lin Chen turned into a torrent of flames and burned these three Canglan Beasts to ashes in one go.

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi, don't worry about us anymore."

Qiao Yuan looked at Lin Chen, his expression a bit complicated. Although he had never admitted it in his mouth, from the moment Lin Chen reached the summit of Mount Wudao, he had recognized Lin Chen.

The Canglan Sect hadn't produced absolutely brilliant genius disciples in these few sessions, and Lin Chen was the most talented disciple the Canglan Sect had produced in recent decades.

They could die, but Lin Chen absolutely could not die.

There were still three hours until the Canglan Secret Realm opened. As long as they persisted in attracting the Canglan Beasts' firepower, it was possible for Lin Chen to hold on for these three hours.

"Lin Lin Shidi Qiao is right, Senior Lin Lin Shidi, don't worry about us, retreat to the beach side and preserve your strength."

Another Canglan Sect disciple, after slashing a Canglan Beast, also shouted at Lin Chen with a hoarse voice. His left arm hung weakly; he had been seriously injured in the just-concluded battle with the Canglan Beast.

There were too many Canglan Beasts. It was impossible for them all to survive. Someone would always die, and although the fact was very cruel, to the sect, these people couldn't compare to Lin Lin Shidi alone.

"Yes, Lin Lin Shidi, don't worry about us."

Not far away, Zhuang Yichen swung his blade at a Canglan Beast, shaking it back: "We are not doing this for you, but for the sect. At this moment, we must not act on impulse."

No one wants to die!

Especially these genius disciples, but in this situation, only Lin Lin Shidi was most likely to survive. And Lin Lin Shidi was clearing the way for them, seemingly easily defeating these Canglan Beasts, but Yue Xiu and others knew that this must also consume the Innate power in Lin Lin Shidi's body.

Martial artists at the First Stage of the Innate Realm cannot yet achieve continuous self-replenishment of Innate power.

These disciples had grudges with each other in the past for competing for rankings and resources, but at this moment, they only knew one thing: they were Canglan Sect disciples.

At the edge of the beach, outer sect disciples like Yue Shan of the Blood Moon Sect still watched coldly, with complex light flickering in their eyes—there was fear, there was calculation, but not a hint of intention to help.

Only Ceng Xi was not far from the beach, entangled with two Canglan Beasts, but this was also the limit of what he could do. Any more... he could only choose to retreat and give up.

Listening to the words of Qiao Yuan and others, Lin Chen knew in his heart that Qiao Yuan and the others let him preserve his strength not because they had deep feelings for him, but because they were Canglan Sect disciples, and the talent and strength he displayed would become the backbone of the Canglan Sect in the future.

They were doing it for the Canglan Sect.

"Actually, the choice of these Canglan Sect disciples is not wrong. Protecting Lin Chen is right."

"With Lin Chen's talent and strength, as long as he doesn't perish, the Sixth Stage of the Innate Realm should be no problem."

On the beach, Mu Jun spoke slowly. Don't look at how these super sects all have Wanxiang Realm powerhouses sitting in town; Wanxiang Realm powerhouses are the foundation of the sect and wouldn't easily appear on weekdays.

Some disciples might not even see their own sect's Wanxiang powerhouse once in their lifetime.

Some struggles and resource competitions between major sects rely more on Sixth Stage Innate powerhouses to fight for them.

Wanxiang Realm powerhouses are the Dinghai Divine Needle of super sects. Since they are the Dinghai Divine Needle, they naturally wouldn't be dispatched easily.

Lin Chen didn't hear the words of Mu Jun and others on the beach, but he also noticed the expressions of these people watching the show. Then, looking at the sect senior brothers fighting fiercely with the Canglan Beasts, a light "heh" sound of unknown meaning came from his mouth.

Bang!

The next moment, the flames on Lin Chen's body exploded suddenly, landing directly on several Canglan Beasts nearby. These Canglan Beasts were attacked, and those scarlet pupils instantly stared at Lin Chen, pouncing toward Lin Chen.

Whoosh!

Lin Chen's figure turned into a golden light, heading toward the beach, and nearly ten Canglan Beasts behind him pursued relentlessly.

"Not good!"

Mu Jun and others who were watching the show on the beach, seeing Lin Chen coming toward them, instantly guessed what Lin Chen wanted to do.

This is wanting to bring disaster to others!

"Lin Chen, you doing this is with us..."

Someone opened their mouth to threaten, but Lin Chen just sneered. It's already this time, and you're telling me whether you will offend the sects behind you.

Seeing Lin Chen unmoved, the nine people including Mu Jun also wanted to scatter at the first moment. Unfortunately, their speed was fast, but Lin Chen's speed was faster. He instantly caught up with one of them and even directly surpassed him.

Behind him, the Canglan Beasts wouldn't detour. Several Canglan Beasts attacked almost at the same time, and the terrifying energy erupted instantly. The aftermath directly blew the outer sect disciple behind Lin Chen, making him spin in the air.

Pfft!

Zhang Jin spat out blood, retreated ten zhang away, his face incomparably pale. Looking at Lin Chen's eyes, there was also resentment. If it weren't for him finally urging his Innate power to the limit at the last moment to increase his speed, he would have been dead from this blow.

"Lin Chen, I..."

"If you don't want to die, then fight these Canglan Beasts with me."

However, when seeing Lin Chen's indifferent eyes and cold words, Zhang Jin couldn't help but shiver. Lin Chen's eyes told him that the other party was really capable of doing such a thing.

As for whether the sect would ask for an explanation from the Canglan Sect and Lin Chen after the fact, what did that have to do with him? He was already dead.

"I can only block one Canglan Beast for you."

Lin Chen didn't respond, but his figure appeared behind Zhang Jin again. Zhang Jin's face changed greatly, and he followed to move, but his speed was always a step slower than Lin Chen's, and he couldn't shake Lin Chen off at all.

"Two... I can block two Canglan Beasts for you."

Zhang Jin chose to submit, but Lin Chen remained unmoved. Zhang Jin could only dodge again, but looking at the five Canglan Beasts pursuing relentlessly, he gritted his teeth: "I'll go to the sea surface right now."

Hearing Zhang Jin's words, Lin Chen didn't follow up when Zhang Jin moved his position again.

Zhang Jin saw that Lin Chen didn't follow, and his heart also breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as another thought sprouted in his heart, Lin Chen's cold eyes swept over, and Zhang Jin's heart trembled, so he had to obediently fly toward the sea surface. ===== CHAPTER 440 =====
