Chapter 2155 - 2156: The Mysterious Spirit Beast

Chapter 2155: Chapter 2156: The Mysterious Spirit Beast

The night deepens, and within the barrier, not a single sound can be heard nor any fluctuation of Spiritual Energy felt.

In this deathly silence, the figure outside appears somewhat anxious, sitting among the trees, looking restless and uneasy.

Yet he doesn’t dare to leave easily.

Supporting such a massive barrier requires his deep Spiritual Energy. If he leaves, this barrier before him will disappear.

Before this, he had already heard that Chen Jie and the others had rescue Spirit Talismans, which made him wary and gave Lin Chen plenty of time.

"Useless things!"

The figure cursed angrily, initially wanting to use this place as the base for "Holy Sect’s" rise, but unexpectedly failed, making the anger on his face especially pronounced.

"I can’t wait any longer!"

After a moment more, the figure clenched his teeth, not daring to waste more time like this. Even if Lin Chen and the others escape, they are heavily injured and can’t get far. If he can find and kill them quickly, he might leave before the Green Ripple Sect people arrive.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he flew off the branch with such force that the tree he was originally sitting on toppled over!

Simultaneously, as he dashed out, the thin light screen shattered like glass, turning into streams of light rain before touching the ground and dissipating completely.

The black Evil Qi originally blocked by the screen burst into the sky as it shattered, its density overshadowing half of the crescent moon and suppressing its silver glow, leaving the area within a hundred-mile radius in darkness and silence.

A moonless and windy night for murder! This is the best interpretation.

The speed of the figure was incredible, as if wings grew beneath his feet, soaring through the air as if it were solid ground.

In just two or three breaths, the figure reached Feng Pingyuan’s side.

Feng Pingyuan’s body was shrouded in black qi, exuding a strong rotten smell, trembling on the ground, with lips slightly drawn back in apparent agony.

"Fine, seeing how you’ve helped me for so many years, I’ll spare you some pain."

The figure waved his hand, and a blade of light burst forth from his palm, slicing through Feng Pingyuan’s neck, cutting his tremors short, with blood blending with darkness in vivid color.

At this moment, Lin Chen held Chen Jie’s body just a few meters away, his forehead covered in sweat, beads of perspiration mixed with the blood on his face, creating a strange odor dripping onto the unconscious Chen Jie on his chest.

"Put me down, I can walk now."

Unbeknownst to Lin Chen, Chen Jie awoke, slightly moving on him, trying to free herself from his embrace.

Lin Chen said nothing more, placing Chen Jie down, instantly feeling a lightness in his hands, realizing he was too exhausted. With not much Spiritual Energy, he relied on physical strength to endure. Even Lin Chen felt worn out.

He staggered, almost unable to stay on his feet, and Chen Jie quickly supported him, the two helping each other forward.

"It seems that barrier has disappeared!"

Chen Jie looked up to the sky, and the long-lost Spiritual Energy flowed like a stream, bringing joy to her face, "Quickly, take out the Spirit Talisman, once we bring father and the others, we’ll be saved!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, returning the Spirit Talisman that Chen Jie had given him.

The Spirit Talisman inherently contained Spiritual Energy. After Chen Jie infused a bit, the Spirit Talisman transformed into a spirit crane of pure white light in her palm, a guiding beacon in the night.

It fluttered its luminescent wings, turning into a streak of light, tearing through the dark Evil Qi in the sky. The moonlight streamed through the break, casting Lin Chen and Chen Jie in their desperate plight.

"Found you guys!"

The spirit crane had barely flown out for half a moment when behind them, the figure shrouded in black appeared. He advanced rapidly, his power increasing swiftly to a terrifying degree!

"This is bad! It’s the Spirit Embryo stage!"

Chen Jie’s expression changed; this strength could challenge the elders at the sect, far beyond what she could withstand.

Her earlier joy was replaced by fear and despair.

Is heaven determined to end us? Chen Jie pondered gloomily.

Yet the figure ignored her thoughts, his sole purpose here was to kill them and retrieve their bodies.

Thus, the figure flickered, showing no restraint, attacking with full force.

The emitted Spiritual Energy’s fluctuation alone was terrifying enough to shred Lin Chen and Chen Jie’s clothes, even before the attack landed!

Chen Jie witnessed this and her face turned ashen.

...

Meanwhile, at the Green Ripple Sect, Chen Lin sat serenely on a stone stool, sipping tea leisurely, watching the greenery among the mountains in a relaxed manner.

Suddenly, a distant white light appeared, the abrupt light tightening Chen Lin’s heart. He flew to meet it, seeing it was the spirit crane transformed from the Spirit Talisman Chen Jie had previously released.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin’s face morphed dramatically, thoughts racing as a flash of green gleamed on his ring, and a Spirit Boat appeared, rushing ahead...

Chen Jie closed her eyes tightly, sensing the fluctuations around, as if awaiting the approach of death.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed beside Chen Jie, simultaneously stopping the wind by her ears, followed by a soft "Eh?"

Chen Jie opened her eyes, seeing Lin Chen kneeling in the distance. One hand clutching a sword hilt, the other gripping the sword’s side, both hands trembling uncontrollably.

From his elbow, she noticed a white bone piercing through Lin Chen’s arm, blood gushing out, dripping onto the ground with a ticking sound.

"Lin Chen!"

Chen Jie cried out sorrowfully, rushing towards Lin Chen. Even without seeing, she knew Lin Chen had used his body to block the figure’s attack, and his arms merely fractured from the massive assault, making the figure exclaim in surprise.

Clang, the sword fell from Lin Chen’s grasp, and he felt overwhelmed with fatigue, as if filled with lead, suffocating him, his consciousness beginning to blur, even the pain from his injuries dimming as his senses faded.

In his daze, he seemed to hear a beast’s roar coming from afar...
