Chapter 3192: The People to Fear, Countable on One Hand!
Everyone thought Lin Chen had gone mad when they saw this scene.
Such a powerful sword, that even thousands of flying swords couldn't stop it, and Lin Chen actually used his body to bluntly receive it!
Was he not concerned about his life?
"Boom!"
A massive surge of energy erupted from the point of impact, causing the surrounding space to tear violently and creating large, sporadic spatial rifts.
This strike brutally tore through space, showing its ferocity!
Lin Chen floated in mid-air, his fingers still pressing against the incoming flying sword, whose radiant glow had faded. It was as if the divine weapon had lost its radiance, turning into mere iron.
"Ding!"
The flying sword flew back, its force completely lost.
Ji Guangde was visibly shaken by this scene.
"Did you turn all your bones into swords?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Yes, Sword Bone."
Mastering thousands of sword techniques, the strongest sword is myself!
Admiration appeared in Ji Guangde's eyes: "This sword of mine, which gathered all my strength, couldn't break you using your body as a sword. I am inferior to you. I am thoroughly convinced and I admit defeat."
Strictly speaking, Lin Chen had only blocked Ji Guangde's attack; they hadn't truly determined a victor yet. However, Ji Guangde's ready admission of defeat silenced everyone from the Red Demon Sect, and no one objected.
They realized that Ji Guangde had fought with all his might, whereas Lin Chen still had strength to spare. Moreover, in his duel with Ji Guangde using the Sword Dao, Lin Chen had chosen to face that ferocious strike head-on, ensuring Ji Guangde's defeat was convincing.
You think you're the strongest? I'll defeat you with your strongest technique!
Previously, Lin Chen had used Illusion Technique to defeat Ji Fei'er, Flame Divine Power to defeat Li Huo, and now the Sword Dao to defeat Ji Guangde. After three consecutive battles, everyone had yet to see Lin Chen's limits!
Joy appeared on everyone's faces from the Great Wilderness Palace. Since the opponent had admitted defeat, the Palace naturally won the agreed duel. As agreed, the entire Red Demon Sect would submit to the Great Wilderness Palace.
The Palace lord observed Lin Chen, his expression inscrutable.
Lin Chen had earlier expressed a desire to test the limits of his full combat strength, but it seemed he hadn't managed to find them.
All three opponents were at the Daluo Peak; considering this, could Lin Chen singlehandedly sweep through the Daluo?
Could he possibly withstand a Quasi-Saint?
He had just reached the Top Grade, yet he possessed such formidable strength. If he reached the peak, his combat power might increase even further. By then, Lin Chen taking on a group of Daluo Peaks alone might not be out of the question.
Thankfully, they had him; otherwise, the Great Wilderness Palace might have faced a severe embarrassment this time.
The mighty Great Wilderness Palace, capable of dominating the entire Black Sky Demon Domain, failed to pick out three individuals who couldn't defeat the Red Demon Sect, and were lastly coerced into granting the Red Demon Sect independence.
From now on, every day the Red Demon Sect stood independently in the Black Sky Demon Domain was another day the Great Wilderness Palace lost face; the Red Demon Sect was like an ugly birthmark on the seemingly beautiful face of the Great Wilderness Palace.
Fortunately, they won!
Lin Chen had saved the day for the Great Wilderness Palace by incorporating the Red Demon Sect, thoroughly unifying the Black Sky Demon Domain.
The war was over!
Lin Chen smiled and saluted in mid-air, "I am honored."
Lin Chen didn't waste words, turned stylishly, and returned to the Great Wilderness Palace's ranks, saluting the Palace lord, "Palace lord, I have not failed my mission."
"Well done."
The Palace lord smiled encouragingly, lifted his head, and looked towards the people of the Red Demon Sect.
"Sect Master Jiang, the duel is over. What do you say?"
Jiang Guolong's expression was bitter. Although he had proposed the duel and considered the possibility of losing, the realization of that fact still brought bitterness to his heart.
Jiang Guolong saluted, "The Red Demon Sect and its members are willing to join the Great Wilderness Palace and henceforth become a part of it, following the Palace lord's commands."
He had no choice but to admit defeat, otherwise, having breached the agreement first, the Great Wilderness Palace would no longer be courteous to him.
Before the battle began, the Red Demon Sect had the freedom to retreat, but once the battle started, the Red Demon Sect lost the qualification to withdraw and had only two options: win and establish independence or lose and join.
If he breached the contract now, the army of the Great Wilderness Palace would definitely launch a full attack and encircle the Red Demon Sect.
Since he couldn't win and didn't want to be exiled, he might as well join!
Since Jiang Guolong had chosen to submit, the rest would be easy; just follow the procedure.
Shi Haoyu, watching Lin Chen from a distance, felt utterly dejected.
Three battles, three victories, effortlessly sweeping through!
What was he compared to Lin Chen?
Such a character must surely be highly regarded by the Palace lord, perhaps even... liked?
Seeing how the Palace lord looked at him, that was a tenderness he had never seen before...
With Lin Chen's talent and combat power, becoming a Quasi-Saint must be easy?
With that thought, Lin Chen and the Palace lord seemed a perfect match, a stunning couple!
Unfortunately, he came from the Immortal Realm and was always thinking about how to return; otherwise, he could have become the Palace lord's consort, becoming the Divine King of the Great Wilderness Palace.
If he hadn't left...
Lin Chen, the center of everyone's attention, hardly noticed Shi Haoyu's unusual gaze.
He had won the battle but didn't feel much excitement.
Originally, he wanted to test his combat power through this battle, but he won without even exerting his full strength!
He hadn't even used his Eight-Armed Arhat Phantom or the powerful Taotie Divine Tree.
However, even though Lin Chen hadn't given his all and still won, he had gained a general understanding of his current strength; in one-on-one fights, he probably wouldn't lose to anyone below a Quasi-Saint.
Invincible below the Quasi-Saint stage?
Lin Chen felt a bit peculiar; although there were still Quasi-Saints and Saints who were as unattainable as ordinary Mount Tai's Pressure above him, how many Saints and Quasi-Saints were there in both the Immortal and Demon Worlds?
With Senior Zhen by his side, even though he wasn't a Quasi-Saint yet, he could still traverse the world unafraid.
Speaking of Saints, although their hearts are unpredictable, as long as he didn't seek death, the few Saints of the Immortal Realm probably wouldn't trouble him, right?
After all, he was part of the War God Talisman sequence, had distinguished himself in the Immortal Demon War, and shed blood for the Immortal Realm; surely he wouldn't be killed by the Saints of the Immortal Realm?
On the Demon World side, barring the Star Chart Spirit, nobody would kill him, right?
With this calculation, how many people still posed a threat to him?
The Demon Emperor, the Shadow Saint, the Blood Saint, the Little Demon Emperor?
Four!
Throughout both the Immortal and Demon Worlds, fewer than a handful could possibly threaten his life!
Thinking this, he realized just how formidable he was!
As long as he returned to the Immortal Realm, staying away from the Demon World also meant staying away from its Saints, wouldn't he be completely safe?
If the Saints of the Demon World made a move in the Immortal Realm to kill an Immortal or a Quasi-Saint, that would only mean the Saints of the Immortal Realm had been defeated, and the Immortal Realm had become meat on the cutting board, at the mercy of others!
Clearly, that was impossible!
Lin Chen, having calculated this in his heart, was even more determined to return to the Immortal Realm; after all, in the Demon World, he had interacted with the Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor and had nearly died.
The Little Demon Emperor must hate him to the bone now!
In the Demon World, given the chance, he would not hesitate to kill him, unencumbered by any scruples.
He'd go back and inquire with the Great Wilderness Saint first, then quickly make his escape!
Better not provoke them!
