I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 98: Confrontation with One's Full Strength

Behind Lin Chen.

In the area covered by shadows where light couldn't reach, a tall and thin figure emerged like a ghost from the shadows cast by the lamplight. This person's body didn't seem solid, but rather like a mass of shadows, ethereal.

Yet, this ethereal shadow now raised the dagger in its hand high and fiercely stabbed towards Lin Chen!

The dagger was completely black, with a faint glimmer flowing through it. The tip of the blade even had a hint of dark purple. Obviously, this was a Spirit Weapon with the properties of breaking through defenses and poison.

"Junior Brother!" Xu Mengyun's eyes widened in horror as she desperately activated the silk scarf Spirit Weapon in her hand, trying to block this attack for Lin Chen.

Unfortunately, the attack came too suddenly, and there was no time to react.

The dagger stabbed down forcefully, and then...

Ding!

A bright spark flashed in the air.

The dagger, which should have been fatal, was unexpectedly blocked by a earth-yellow shield!

Although this dagger had formidable penetrating power, it couldn't pierce through the shield that was created by Lin Chen's soul power and the solidified earth spiritual energy.

Then, the assailant saw Lin Chen expressionlessly raise his hand and swiftly grab his arm. Immediately, he felt a deep, bone-piercing pain.

Fire!

A pale flame mixed with a light blue color surged out from Lin Chen's hand, directly engulfing his arm. In just a moment, the raging flames completely consumed his entire hand!

Swish!

However, at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew through the surrounding jungle. Four colorless poison needles, taking advantage of the cover of night, flew straight towards the three of them.

"Hmm?"

Lin Chen's gaze narrowed as he snapped his fingers, and two yellow light shields rose successively, protecting Xu Mengyun and Liu Qiqiang.

"Ah!"

The black-robed cultivator on the other side let out a cry of pain. Taking advantage of this moment, he forcibly cut off his own arm to escape with his life!

"Junior Brother, are you alright?!" Xu Mengyun stepped forward to Lin Chen's side, relieved to see that he was unharmed and had even repelled the assassin.

Only now did she notice the spiritual shields that had risen in front of her. At first, she was stunned, but then she realized what had happened when she heard the sound of a ding, causing her pupils to contract involuntarily.

"Senior... Senior Brother, what is this..." At this moment, Liu Qiqiang, who had been vigilant of their surroundings, finally reacted and his face also changed.

There was no way around it. He was the weakest among the three, and on top of that, he was only a low-level disciple who rarely engaged in combat. So his reaction was far from timely.

"It's nothing." Lin Chen remained calm, then his gaze shifted as he looked around. "Since they've come, why hide?"

Huh? There are more people?

Xu Mengyun and Liu Qiqiang were stunned by his words, then turned to look around, their expressions becoming extremely serious.

Because at this moment, four black-robed cultivators walked out successively from the jungle, surrounding the three of them in a triangular formation.

Not only that, each of them exuded a fierce aura, and their bodies were filled with spiritual pressure, indicating that they were at the Qi Refining Late Stage. The corners of their clothes were stained with dark red bloodstains, and a strong smell of blood emanated from them.

Obviously, these newcomers were not here for a friendly encounter!

"This!" Xu Mengyun's beautiful face stiffened with fear, and her pupils contracted even more.

Because each of these people gave her a very dangerous feeling. Even facing just one of them, she wouldn't necessarily be able to win, let alone when they joined forces!

"It's impossible to fight. We can only find a way to break through!" Xu Mengyun made this decision without hesitation in her heart.

After all, in her opinion, she could hold off one of them, and Lin Chen, who had previously participated in the outer sect competition and had now advanced to the Qi Refining Late Stage, should be able to contend with one as well. But even so, it would only be two against five, and they had no chance of winning!

As for Liu Qiqiang, sorry, but in Xu Mengyun's eyes, he didn't even count as half a person!

"Junior Brother, I have a Rank Two spiritual talisman in my hand. I'll activate it later, and then we can escape in the chaos... Junior Brother?!" Xu Mengyun transmitted her thoughts using her means, but she realized that Lin Chen didn't respond. She couldn't help but glance at him and saw that he was looking up at the sky, as if he was watching something.

"Junior Brother?!"

"Oh." At this moment, Lin Chen seemed to have realized something, and his voice echoed in Xu Mengyun's mind. "No need to worry, you guys go ahead, I'll handle this."

"Huh?!" Xu Mengyun's face froze. "Junior Brother, are you sure?! There are five people on the other side, can you handle it?"

"A man can't say no." Lin Chen's voice remained as calm as ever. "Besides, victory or defeat in this world is not determined by numbers."

"...Alright, then be careful!" Xu Mengyun gritted her teeth and responded.

Xu Mengyun probably understood Lin Chen's meaning. This junior brother of hers was not as simple as she had imagined. He was confident in taking on five opponents, and their presence would only be a burden to him, so he asked them to leave.

"Don't waste time, let's go!" Although it seemed like they had been communicating for a long time, it was actually just a spiritual exchange. Only a few moments had passed in reality.

The five cultivators who were about to surround them coldly watched as they left, while also blocking their retreat.

However, in the instant after Lin Chen finished speaking to Xu Mengyun, he made a bold move!

His right hand rose, and a water ball the size of several meters condensed.

The water ball rapidly spun in mid-air, spraying out incredibly sharp water blades. Countless water blades intersected, forming a deadly lotus flower.

Not good!

Feeling the dazzling killing intent, the five black-clothed cultivators who were about to surround them changed their expressions and took out defensive Spirit Weapons to resist.

Boom!

All the trees within a hundred meters were cut into pieces, falling down with a resounding roar, accompanied by painful cries.

Obviously, someone was unable to dodge and had their arm cut off by the water blades!

At the same time, Xu Mengyun decisively led Liu Qiqiang to break out!

Just as the two of them had not gone far, several figures rushed out from the dust caused by the falling trees.

"You're seeking death!" The leader, a man with a scarred face, reacted and couldn't help but become furious, glaring at Lin Chen.

In his eyes, the other party was already within his grasp, yet he had made him look so embarrassed. It was simply asking for trouble!

Although Lin Chen's sudden attack caught them off guard, he didn't believe that the other party could withstand five opponents.

"Trying to be a hero?!" The scarred-face cultivator sneered. "I'll capture you later, turn you into a human stick, and then capture that female cultivator and kill her in front of you... Huh?!"

In the midst of his words, he suddenly heard a cracking sound. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a scattered pile of eyeballs and flesh!

This... was it the Hundred-Eyed Corpse Bead they used for surveillance?!

Seeing this, the scarred-face cultivator's face couldn't help but freeze. Even he couldn't detect the stealthiness of this thing, so how did the other party discover and destroy it?!

However, before he could figure it out, Lin Chen's voice suddenly echoed in the minds of everyone present:

"A hero saving a beauty? You're thinking too much. I just don't want any living person to witness my true strength!"

As soon as his words fell, a terrifying spiritual light emanated from Lin Chen, instantly engulfing everyone present!

In that instant, the image of Lin Chen in their eyes suddenly changed from a handsome young man to a terrifying beast with eyes like full moons and teeth as sharp as blades!

Danger! Danger! Danger!

The sudden change made the five cultivators present's faces greatly change.

At the moment the beast appeared, their bodies were already in a state of frenzy!

Hormones in their bodies began to continuously secrete, their hearts in their chests thumping irregularly. Deep fear rose from their blood, enveloping their entire bodies, causing everyone present to be paralyzed by fear, their bodies completely out of control!

This was Lin Chen's latest method specifically targeting the body - the oppressive spiritual light!

Something came up tonight, so I'm posting a bit late.

Also, recently some readers have said that my writing is lacking, ah...

I looked back and realized that every time I advance the plot, it takes more than ten chapters of content. I think what I'm writing now is just right. I've only written four chapters for this plot so far, so it shouldn't be lacking, right?

But I looked at it and maybe it's because I haven't written much about the protagonist. It's okay, I'll write about him next.
