Chapter 785: Chapter 785
Lin Chen's Thunder Sword drew a dazzling streak of golden light, stabbing towards the Viscount.
The Viscount's complexion changed slightly, and with a sweep of the blood spear in his hand, he blocked Lin Chen's attack.
Almost at the same time, Lin Chen felt a malicious wind attacking from behind, as the four men in black who had just narrowly escaped took advantage of the fierce battle between Lin Chen and the Viscount to prepare a sneak attack.
Lin Chen snorted coldly, and with a backhanded strike of his Thunder Sword, a flash of golden light passed, and the four men in black instantly fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing his own men all dead by Lin Chen's hand, the Viscount was enraged.
The Viscount let out a furious roar, his body enveloped in a blood aura that carried a scent of blood.
"Boy, you killed my kin, I will not let you die a whole death!"
As the words fell, the Viscount once again wielded the blood spear in his hand and pounced on Lin Chen.
The Viscount's offensive became faster and faster, and the blood spear in his hand covered Lin Chen like a rainstorm.
At this time, the Viscount's movements had become so fast he was like a whirlwind of blood, but Lin Chen, with the help of his Tianyan Divine Pupil, slowed his speed by more than tenfold. Coupled with Lin Chen's ghost-like movement technique, he was not at a disadvantage under the Viscount's furious assault.
Under the Viscount's onslaught, Lin Chen seemed to be in crisis, yet at every critical moment, he easily dodged.
At this moment, the surroundings of the dirt road had become a mess due to their attacks.
The surrounding trees were almost all blasted apart, and the ground was pitted.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a hundred moves, yet the Viscount, despite his ferocious attack, hadn't caused Lin Chen any harm.
However, as their fight continued, Lin Chen began to feel more and more strained.
After all, there was a drastic difference in strength between the two, and the reason Lin Chen could cope with the Viscount's storm-like attacks was that the Tianyan Divine Pupil slowed down his opponent's speed.
But with continuous use, Lin Chen had started to feel a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
The blood spear and Lin Chen's Thunder Sword collided once more, and Lin Chen's body was again pushed back four to five meters.
At this time, lights had appeared in the distance; it was clear that the Dragon Group was catching up.
A fierce expression flashed across the Viscount's face, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so tough to deal with, so let's see how you handle the power of a blood sacrifice!"
With that said, the Viscount raised his right hand high into the sky, and a vortex appeared in the palm of his hand, emanating a powerful suction force.
At that moment, the blood mist from the bodies of the fallen kin was astonishingly sucked out by the Viscount instantaneously and quickly gathered around his body.
The aura of Evil Qi on the Viscount's body grew even denser.
All that blood Qi was absorbed into the Viscount's body.
A shrill scream pierced the night sky, and from the Range Rover nearby, Old Zhou's complexion changed, "They're over there, let's hurry over."
As the Viscount absorbed streams of blood Qi into his body, he was immediately enveloped in surges of Evil Qi.
The momentum of his body instantly became more terrifying. Now, the Viscount's previously tied-up hair came undone, and a sky-full of blood Qi turned the surrounding air exceptionally bloodstained.
The Viscount resembled a blood demon from hell, with such terrifying Evil Qi that it seemed to solidify the void itself.
Moreover, the Viscount's cultivation level soared from the early stage of the Yunhai Realm to the middle stage, and a horrifying pressure instantly enveloped Lin Chen.
Lin Chen stared at the Viscount, his gaze growing more solemn. Just a moment ago, the difference of one level had already made the fight extremely difficult for Lin Chen. Now with a difference of two levels, the situation was even more perilous.
The Viscount roared furiously, lunging at Lin Chen like a mist of blood.
Lin Chen activated his Tianyan Divine Pupil, and although he slowed down the speed, the opponent was still as fast as lightning, reaching him in an instant.
As soon as the Viscount closed in, Lin Chen was enveloped in a blood qi that made him extremely uncomfortable with its putrid smell.
In the blink of an eye, the Viscount's blood spear already thrust toward Lin Chen.
Lin Chen hastily swung his Thunder Sword to parry, barely deflecting the blood spear. The spear, as if alive, struck toward Lin Chen once again like lightning.
The opponent was too fast. Lin Chen had no time to dodge and was forced to hastily block with his Thunder Sword.
Series of collision sounds erupted in the night sky as Lin Chen was repeatedly driven back, his arms growing numb from the continuous impacts.
Yet the opponent's assault was relentless like a torrential storm, each wave more ferocious than the last.
As the assault's speed increased, despite Lin Chen activating his Tianyan divine eye, he was still hit repeatedly.
In just a few minutes, Lin Chen had already sustained four or five injuries.
Thankfully, aided by the strong life light, his wounds were also constantly healing.
Accompanied by a loud noise, the Viscount's blood spear heavily struck Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's body was shot backward like a cannonball, toppling a large tree of bowl-sized girth behind him.
Struggling to get up from the ground, Lin Chen was pale, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood.
Lin Chen's martial road had always been smooth-sailing; he had never been so grievously injured before.
Today's situation was completely a dead end. Lin Chen stared fixedly at the Viscount, his eyes also revealing a touch of madness.
The Viscount's eyes surged with murderous intent. His blood spear, like a blood snake emerging from its hole, thrust toward Lin Chen's chest.
Inside the car, Wang Zixuan watched this scene with a pained whimper.
Tears glistened in her eyes as she hadn't expected the man before her to sacrifice himself for her rescue.
Lin Chen's gaze flickered as he used the last of his strength to employ his spatial abilities. In the next instant, he appeared in front of the business van, yanking the door open.
He pulled Wang Zixuan out of the car and snapped the ropes binding her.
With tears in her eyes, Zixuan looked at the bloodied Lin Chen and resolutely said, "No, I won't go. I want to die with you."
Lin Chen said anxiously, "Idiot, with such a beautiful girlfriend like you, how could I be willing to die!"
Just then, Lin Chen felt a wicked breeze striking from behind and dared not hesitate any longer.
He pushed Wang Zixuan away with force. Just as he turned around, the Viscount's spear was already upon him.
Although Lin Chen mustered all his strength to deflect the Viscount's blood spear with his Thunder Sword, the opponent struck him heavily on the shoulder with a palm.
Despite Lin Chen activating a light shield to protect himself, that palm still shattered the light shield and slammed viciously into his body.
Immediately, Lin Chen spat out another mouthful of vital blood, his body flying backward to crash heavily to the ground.
Wang Zixuan rushed over, disregarding everything to lift the fallen Lin Chen. "Lin Chen, how are you? Stop worrying about me and just go!"
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Lin Chen wiped the blood from his mouth and once again staggered to his feet.
At that moment, Wang Zixuan suddenly stood up, brandishing a dagger she had picked up from somewhere.
"Scum, if you dare take one more step, I will kill myself. I am the key to entering the secret realm and obtaining the life flower. If I die, none of you will get the life flower."
Hearing Wang Zixuan's words, both Lin Chen and the Viscount were shocked.
