Chapter 75: Meng Zi Lends a Hand!
Jia Xin used all his strength but couldn't open it, and Yi Chen also tried personally, the result was that the box didn't have a single scratch, instead his arm went numb.
"There's no key, and the box can't be opened at all. It seems that we have to think of another way." Jia Xin shook his head helplessly and said.
"This is Tiandu Forest, it's not very safe, let's leave this place first." Yi Chen nodded and said.
The two of them discussed it briefly and then decided that Yi Chen would take two while Jia Xin took the other one, and they would split the spoils after leaving this place.
Everyone put away their boxes and then Jia Xin led the way out of the cave entrance, with Yi Chen slowly following behind.
"I don't know why these powerful individuals died so humiliatingly here, and who they were."
Looking back at those skeletons, Yi Chen said this sentence inexplicably, and then didn't think much about it, leaving the second floor with Jia Xin.
As they walked along the tunnel and returned to the first floor, Yi Chen and the others stopped in their tracks, staring forward with wide eyes, because at some point, three figures had appeared.
"I said you two are quite fast, what's wrong, are you leaving?" one of the figures coldly laughed.
"How did you end up here." Jia Xin's face flashed with a bad expression, because the people who came were actually Gu Lin and the Second Prince, and another was a middle-aged man.
However, his cultivation was not low either, from the aura he released, Yi Chen could tell that he was also a high-ranking Zhenyuan Realm expert.
The other side had three people, while Yi Chen's side only had two, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for them.
"This isn't your family's territory, why can't we come? I won't waste words with you either. Leave the stuff behind, I can let Jia Xin go, but the one surnamed Yi has to stay."
His eyes were fixed on Yi Chen, and Gu Lin's gaze was cold and fierce. He would never forget the scene when he was defeated by Long in the battle for hegemony.
"Your tone is getting bolder and bolder, what if I don't leave?" Jia Xin turned his head to glance at Yi Chen, then smiled.
"In that case, I can only settle you along with him." Gu Lin said in a low voice, his tone cold.
"You may have lost to a subordinate, but your tone is not small at all. Are you saying that the Gu family wants to make enemies with our two families?" Yi Chen said indifferently.
"In a place like this, killing both of you and destroying the bodies, who would know that it was our doing?" The Second Prince said with a soft smile.
"Be careful, grab the opportunity to escape." The other party's tone was extremely arrogant, and it was clear that they would not give up easily. Yi Chen turned his head to look at Jia Xin and said.
"Think you can escape? You won't have a chance." Gu Lin naturally heard Yi Chen's words and immediately let out a cold laugh, charging forward first.
"Hiss." The Second Prince and the middle-aged man also simultaneously activated their soul power, with the Second Prince attacking Gu Lin, while the middle-aged man chose to deal with Yi Chen.
"Peng." The second prince clashed with Jia Xin first, resulting in a fierce collision.
Yi Chen's eyes flashed with a heavy gaze. The two Chen Hun realms were not something Yi Chen could handle, but now there was no way out, he could only take a gamble.
"Die." Gu Lin's right palm condensed his soul power, and with a fierce momentum, he attacked Yi Chen.
Without any hesitation, Yi Chen's palms moved in a flurry, and a crimson soul force condensed, fearlessly meeting the attack head-on.
"Peng." Two figures fiercely collided with each other, accompanied by a dull thud that rang out. Yi Chen and the other person both retreated several steps.
"What's going on, his cultivation has increased again." Gu Lin looked at Yi Chen with a stunned gaze, then became ferocious and gestured to Luo He, the two of them attacking Yi Chen together.
Two dozen one, for Yi Chen, it was a huge challenge, but he did not back down, and instead mobilized his soul power to meet it head-on.
"Third-Rank Lower-Grade Soul Technique - Wind Scorpion Finger!"
Luo He was the first to arrive, his index finger wrapped in red soul energy, accompanied by a piercing sound as he pointed at Yi Chen.
"Third-Rank Lower-Class Soul Technique - Boa Constrictor Fist!"
Yi Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, his fists clenched tightly, with the force of a mad python, he charged towards Luo He.
"Boom." Two figures collided, a surge of soul power rippling outward in all directions, neither giving an inch as they fought to a stalemate.
"Furious Wind Kick!" Blocking the opponent's attack, Yi Chen shouted angrily, his right foot carrying a strong gust of wind sweeping towards Luo He's head.
"What a strong fighting spirit." Luo He was shocked, but dodged too late and was kicked by Yi Chen, sending him stumbling back several steps.
"Fourth-Rank Lower-Grade Soul Skill — Azure Thunder Palm!"
Seeing Yi Chen's combat power, Gu Lin was also very surprised, but the cold color on his face became even more severe, and he slapped a palm wind at Yi Chen like a knife.
"Fourth-Rank Lower-Grade Soul Skill - Heavenly Thunder Palm First Form!"
A strong gust of wind came, and Yi Chen didn't dare to be careless for a moment. He made a peculiar gesture with his palms in front of him, gathering his soul power between them, and met the attack with a muffled thunder-like sound.
"A loud rumble." A deafening sound rang out, and both of them trembled slightly as a residual wave spread out.
"Fourth-grade intermediate soul technique - Heavenly Wind Fist!" At this time, a loud shout was heard, and Luo He rushed up again, his fist striking with an eerie arc.
"Thunderclap Palm Second Layer!" Yi Chen's heart skipped a beat as his right palm swept forward in front of him, bringing with it a swift gust of wind.
"Hum." With a sudden movement, Yi Chen didn't use his full strength and was repelled by Luo He's palm, retreating over a dozen steps before shaking off the shock.
A thread of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Yi Chen's entire arm was numb from the shock.
"This time I'll see how arrogant you can be." Seeing Yi Chen's disheveled appearance, Gu Lin coldly smiled and flipped out a long spear, channeling his soul power to stab at Yi Chen.
"Master, I'm here to help you."
At this time, a soft drink sounded, and a beautiful shadow holding a short sword rushed forward, blocking in front of Yi Chen, and one sword opened Gu Lin's long gun.
"Mengzi, how did you end up here?" Yi Chen asked, slightly startled as he saw the figure approaching.
"I just saw Young Master entering the Tian Du Forest, Meng Zi was afraid you'd be in danger, so she followed him in." Meng Zi said with a charming expression on her face.
"Destroy them." He nodded and retrieved the Tianyun Heavy Sword from his storage ring, then swung it with a fierce motion.
"Hiss." As soon as the words fell, Mengzi quickly rushed out and fought with Luoheshan, while Gulin was handed over to Yichen.
"Hmph, even with an extra helper, you can't escape your fate." Gu Lin sneered, his long spear flashing out a few dazzling spear flowers as he stabbed towards Yi Chen.
Without saying more, Yi Chen activated his Soul Power, holding the Heaven-Falling Heavy Sword, and swung it at Gu Lin.
"Boom."
The Heaven-Descended Heavy Sword weighed over a thousand catties, and with Yi Chen's rotation, its power was extraordinary. In an instant, it crashed onto Gu Lin's long spear, sending him flying backward.
"Four-Star Upper-Class Soul Skill - Lingfeng Gun Technique!"
A massive force transmitted from the long gun, causing Gu Lin's arms to go numb. At the same time, Gu Lin's spear movement changed, like a poisonous snake spitting out its letter, stabbing towards Yi Chen's head.
"Get lost." A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Yi Chen didn't use any soul techniques, directly swinging the Tianyun Heavy Sword to meet him.
