Chapter 849: Chapter 849

Accompanied by the booming sound, a powerful energy sphere instantly melted the asphalt road surface.

Two silhouettes burst out of the sphere of light, Lin Chen looked pale as he stared intently at the man in black opposite him.

The man in black stood still, his eyes still showing an expression of immense shock, with fresh blood continuously oozing from his mouth and body.

"How is this possible! How could I possibly lose to this kid?" The man in black, with a face full of unwillingness, thudded to the ground.

Watching the man in black fall, Lin Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

The opponent was too strong; if it were not for his newly developed secret technique, he would not have stood a chance against the man in black in any case.

However, this strike had nearly drained all of Lin Chen's Spiritual Energy, making him unstable on his feet as he too thudded to the ground.

"Lin Chen!" Wang Zixuan hurried over to help Lin Chen up from the ground.

Lin Chen smiled, "I'm fine, let's hurry back to the school."

He had just finished his sentence when his face abruptly changed because he noticed another dark figure approaching from not too far away.

"Tsk tsk, kid you're quite strong, to have even killed Asan, but that's fine by me, I'll just reap the benefits," the dark figure sneered.

Seeing the person, Lin Chen's face changed; this guy was even stronger than the man in black from before.

Having just dueled with that man in black, Lin Chen was already severely injured and had no energy left to resist after releasing the four-color light sphere.

Lin Chen's gaze was grave as he continuously mobilized his Spiritual Energy to mend his injured body.

"Who exactly are you guys, and why did you kidnap Zixuan?" Lin Chen asked the approaching black-clad man.

The man in black chuckled coldly: "Kid, don't try to be sly with me, thinking to buy time with nonsense. I know you can heal yourself, so I won't give you that chance."

As soon as his words fell, the man in black burst forward like lightning, lunging at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's eyes carried a glint of resolve as he pushed Wang Zixuan away, swinging a fist at the same time.

The fists of the two collided.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Lin Chen's body flew backwards.

This time, Lin Chen suffered even more damage to his body, especially at the sites of his previous injuries, which were forced open again.

Lin Chen tried to stand up, but felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he could not move at all.

The man in black had a terrifying look on his face: "Kid, today is your death day. I am going to cut off your head and take it back as a trophy."

This time, Lin Chen truly had no strength left to fight, having faced mid-tier masters of the Yunhai state twice consecutively had pushed him beyond his limits.

At this moment, the murderous intent in the man in black's eyes erupted, and he charged out like a bolt of black lightning, heading straight for Lin Chen.

Wang Zixuan's face was covered in tears, all because she was the reason Lin Chen had fallen into such a dangerous situation.

At this moment, Lin Chen's body was completely incapable of any resistance, even calling the Respiratory System had no response.

Was he really going to die here? Lin Chen felt a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

As he saw the man in black's fist enlarging in front of his eyes, about to hit him.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed behind Lin Chen.

Blood splattered, and the man in black, with reluctance and shock in his eyes, suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Chen's expression changed, and he hastily turned around to look.

Unbeknownst to him, there stood a middle-aged man in white behind Lin Chen.

In his hand, he held a treasured sword, still dotted with traces of blood.

"How is this possible!" Lin Chen was instantly dumbfounded.

The man in black had just been a mid-tier expert of the Yunhai Realm, yet he was killed by a single sword stroke.

The middle-aged man behind him pulled out a white cloth and gently wiped the blood off the blade.

Shocked, Lin Chen couldn't help but clasp his fist towards the man: "Thank you for your assistance, sir. May I ask how to address you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I saved you merely because I was passing by and did not want the Blood Clan to run wild on Huaxia's land," said the middle-aged man as he turned to leave.

"Are you Bai Yuntian of the Heavenly King Alliance?" Suddenly, Wang Zixuan spoke up.

The man in white paused, looking at Wang Zixuan with interest: "How do you know I am Bai Yuntian of the Heavenly King Alliance?"

Wang Zixuan said, "I've heard from my father that Bai Yuntian, the Alliance Hierarch of the Heavenly King Alliance, loves to wear white and wields a treasured sword. He kills with no more or fewer than one strike, and you nearly match all these characteristics, senior."

Bai Yuntian gave a faint smile: "You're quite knowledgeable, girl, but it's a pity you're wrong."

Saying this, the man in white quickly disappeared into the night.

Lin Chen managed to stand up and looked at Wang Zixuan with confusion: "What is this Heavenly King Alliance?"

Wang Zixuan said: "I've heard from my father that the Heavenly King Alliance is a special organization not bound by the Superpowers Alliance. Their organization is very unique, always acting in opposition to the Superpowers Alliance, yet all their actions are aimed at eliminating evildoers. They only target scoundrels among those with superpowers."

"There actually is such an organization." Lin Chen nodded slightly.

"Especially their Alliance Hierarch, Bai Yuntian, who wields a treasured sword and possesses astonishing strength. Whenever he draws his sword, someone must die; that guy was definitely Bai Yuntian," Wang Zixuan declared indignantly.

"Does the Superpowers Alliance really allow such an organization to exist?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Wang Zixuan smiled faintly: "Even if they don't allow it, what can they do? They have teamed up with several major sects many times to wipe out the Heavenly King Alliance, but each time they have suffered heavy losses."

Heavenly King Alliance, Bai Yuntian, Lin Chen pondered these two names in his heart; regardless, this time someone had saved his life, and he must repay that person if he got the chance.

Wang Zixuan accompanied Lin Chen back to his room. Initially, Lin Chen wanted Wang Zixuan to leave, but she stubbornly refused and insisted on taking care of the injured Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had no other choice and was genuinely worried about letting her go back to the dormitory alone, so he let her stay.

"I need to heal myself; you should go to sleep first," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Wang Zixuan nodded obediently, lying down on the bed, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, who was meditating.

Lin Chen's eyes were slightly closed, and Spiritual Energy seeped into his injured parts, quickly entering a state of meditation.

Just then, Lin Chen suddenly felt two soft arms wrapping around his waist, and upon opening his eyes, he realized that Zixuan had fallen asleep while hugging him.

As dawn broke, a ray of sunlight entered through the window sill.

Lin Chen's injuries had fully recovered, and he felt that after last night's intense battle that pushed his limits, his cultivation had progressed at an incredible rate, even nearing the mid-tier of the Yunhai Realm.

At this moment, Wang Zixuan also woke up from her dream and found herself lying in Lin Chen's arms, her cheeks flushing red.

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Silly girl, wake up."

Wang Zixuan crawled out from Lin Chen's arms and responded, "You're the silly one. If you were any other man, you surely would have taken advantage of me last night."

Lin Chen looked embarrassed: "So you're saying I should have taken advantage of you last night?"

Wang Zixuan's cheeks turned red: "That's not what I mean. It's because you're silly that I like you."
