Chapter 2545 - 2546: All Even Now

Chapter 2545: Chapter 2546: All Even Now

Lin Chen looked at the conceited Five Element Master in front of him, curiosity piqued in his heart. Just who was giving them such confidence?

Did they really think that because his cultivation was now completely gone, these elaborate traps could completely bind him?

"Do you really think I have no cultivation at all now?"

Lin Chen’s words caused the faces of the Five Element Masters around to change dramatically. The reason they dared to be so arrogant was based on one premise.

The young man’s cultivation had completely disappeared.

But his words conveyed a different point: his cultivation still existed, which sent chills down their spines.

If it was true, and this young man still had formidable cultivation, then today the five of them would be easily wiped out by him.

"What do you mean by saying that, you brat?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly at the person in front of him; he didn’t mean anything in particular.

"Wasn’t what I just said clear enough? I meant exactly what I said, so just go ahead."

The Five Element Masters had long been fed up with his sarcastic taunts and scheming, so they were unwilling to engage in more chit-chat.

The Blazing Flame Honor leaped into the air, jumping high and directly attacking Lin Chen’s chest.

Previously, such an attack by the Blazing Flame Honor would have been child’s play for him, easy to dissolve.

But now, heavily injured and significantly affected in his cultivation, as the opponent’s fist came at his chest, he could only stand still.

Lin Chen wanted to think more about it, but he knew he really couldn’t dodge now, as the opponent’s fist struck his chest, sending him flying to the ground.

Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest with unprecedented resentment in his eyes.

At that moment, he realized he was absolutely no match for the people not far ahead.

Whether it was the Blazing Flame Honor or the Cold Ice Honor, any one of them could kill him, let alone if they joined forces.

"I thought you might be stronger, now I see you’re just so-so."

The Blazing Flame Honor breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his worry was for nothing now that it was clear the opponent’s cultivation had indeed disappeared.

He was now completely a cripple.

The Blazing Flame Honor walked toward the young man in front of him, holding his weapon, as Lin Chen felt anxiety in his heart.

He never expected that after a moment of heroism, he would meet his end here today.

The Blazing Flame Honor reached out and grasped Lin Chen’s throat.

Lin Chen’s throat was in intense pain as he struggled continuously in mid-air, finding himself unable to escape the opponent’s grasp.

Just then, a girl’s voice came from mid-air, gentle and melodious like an oriole emerging from a valley, and a longsword stabbed toward the Blazing Flame Honor’s chest.

The Blazing Flame Honor suddenly realized the danger was near, so he quickly threw the boy aside, drawing his sword to confront the girl in mid-air.

Surprisingly, Nangong Xue had recovered so quickly and was gradually returning to her peak state.

After all, Nangong Xue was a top-tier genius and expert on the Tianyuan Continent, and dealing with these Five Element Masters was no problem.

The Blazing Flame Honor initially thought he could easily take down this weak girl, but after engaging, he found her skills matched his own.

The Blazing Flame Honor attacked the girl with all his might but found himself unable to overpower her, no matter what.

The other Masters then stepped forward to help their fellow brother.

Nangong Xue knew very well that if she single-battled, she’d fare as well as any of them, but if they joined forces, it would spell certain death.

So Nangong Xue took out a stone emitting a white light and threw it on the ground.

The smoke dispersed suddenly, and none of them could see what was happening in the middle.

As the smoke gradually cleared, the two of them had vanished.

The Blazing Flame Honor was furious.

It was unimaginable that the prey they had in their grasp had now flown away, which the Blazing Flame Honor couldn’t bear.

"Let’s chase them down quickly!"

With that, they gripped their longswords tightly and charged forward once more.

Though it seemed earlier that Nangong Xue was evenly matched with the Blazing Flame Honor, only she knew how exhausting it was to fight him.

Lin Chen, having roamed the rivers and lakes for many years, quickly noticed Nangong Xue’s wound had reopened.

Nangong Xue’s previous injury had torn open again, her white clothes dyed red, her face growing paler.

Lin Chen felt guilty toward Nangong Xue, knowing her old wounds wouldn’t have flared up if not for him.

Their pace slowed down more and more, with the Five Element Masters closing in on them.

If waiting would lead to them being surrounded, escaping would become impossible, and the situation dire.

Nangong Xue suddenly fell during their flight; now it was clear she couldn’t go on.

"Go on without me, don’t worry about me."

In Nangong Xue’s mind, debts of gratitude must always be repaid; if not for Lin Chen saving her, she’d have died long ago.

The only reason for what she said earlier was to repay her debt, now they were even.

But if he refused to abandon her and they shared their fate, it meant she owed him another life.

"Stop talking nonsense; with me here, you won’t die today," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Nangong Xue grew curious, could he truly have a way to solve the crisis before them?
