Lin Chen let out a roar, and with the enhancement of his Shadow Strike state, he instantly appeared behind the guard. His tiger claws, covered in phoenix flames, slashed down with such power that even a supreme being from the lower realm would likely find it difficult to withstand.
However, the guard didn't seem to want to dodge. With a "thud," he fell down. Lin Chen thought this guy was definitely just showing off, and he'd probably be knocked down by me.
After the phoenix flames attached to the guard's back were extinguished, his dark gray armor was burned to a white-gray color, but the flesh and blood covering it remained completely unharmed.
"What?! How is this possible?" Lin Chen was panicking. Even though it wasn't a full-force attack, it was impossible to emerge unscathed. "Damn it! I only managed to tear a piece of black armor, no, not even a crack! The armor isn't even broken! Is God trying to kill me?"
"Haha, so this is all you've got from the Northern Xuan Realm. If that's all you've got, I suggest you hurry up and learn some skills. You're having a hard time even protecting yourselves in this fight." The guard said arrogantly.
"Now I'll show you what true Dao Qi and strength really are."
"Swiftness mode, out."
The guard's speed was beyond description; Lin Chen felt that his own measly movement skills were child's play in comparison.
"Spiritual Dao Technique, activate." A ring of spiritual energy surrounded him, and with a shout from the guard, the spiritual energy transformed and attached itself to his hand.
"It's my turn to make a move, kid. Show me your defensive skills, or you might get knocked down by one punch, haha." The guard's words were full of contempt.
"Bring it on, I'm not afraid. I've drunk the essence of countless divine beasts and spirit beasts, hundreds or even dozens. I don't believe I can't withstand your punch." Lin Chen was also a proud and arrogant person, and even if he was being oppressed at this moment, he would never bow his head.
The power of the Dao is incomparable to spiritual energy, especially since this guard has already cultivated Dao techniques. His understanding of the Dao can be considered to have entered the realm of enlightenment.
When an ascendant arrives in the upper realm, their spiritual energy gradually disappears, replaced by Dao energy, which is known as enlightenment. Enlightenment depends not only on talent, but also on the crucial importance of Dao techniques.
The spiritual technique cultivated by this guard is the lowest level of Daoist art, generally learned by guards of various cities or imperial guards. It is widely accessible and easy to learn and comprehend. However, even such a trashy spiritual technique would leave Lin Chen bedridden for at least ten days if he were to be hit by it.
Although Lin Chen kept arguing, his actions betrayed him. He couldn't die here; he hadn't even spent a romantic night with Yao Yao yet. He unleashed a divine-level attack, Void, Shadow Strike... his power was at its peak.
The guard's punch was already poised to strike, the ripples on his fist seemingly telling him not to underestimate it.
"Take this Lingbo Palm strike and I'll send you back to your grandma's house."
With a loud "smack," the hand landed squarely on Lin Chen's back.
The two pairs of phoenix wings that were originally outstretched were now wrapped around Lin Chen's body, but now, the once vibrant red wings had turned into a sickly appearance. The crimson feathers had also fallen to the ground.
"Ugh!" He spat out a mouthful of blood. That's right, with just one palm strike, Lin Chen was struck and bled profusely. If Lin Chen's underlings in the lower realm saw this, they definitely wouldn't care about Lin Chen's safety first. Instead, they would all rush to the front to lick his blood. After all, they all knew that Lin Chen's bloodline was some kind of thing, which was basically a collection of divine beasts.
The problem is still the Holy Lord's companion beast. The Holy Beast certainly cannot be injured, and this opportunity is extremely rare.
That's right, the incredibly arrogant Lin Chen was slapped to the ground like a dog being beaten.
Ye Yao was enraged. Her relationship with Lin Chen was no longer that of master and servant, nor had it ever been. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, like being stabbed. She knew that if anything happened to Lin Chen, she would never forgive herself, nor would she live on.
Ye Yao drew her spirit sword from the void and thrust it forward without long charging. A chaotic mind leads to chaotic movements. This attack was utterly ineffective against the guard.
"Yaoyao, don't come any closer, I'm fine." Lin Chen's voice rang in her ears.
"No, Lin Chen, you've never been injured since we formed a contract. This time, I failed to protect you. If you are injured again today, let them step over my dead body first." Ye Yao was not to be outdone and was unafraid of death.
"Haha, Ye Yao, stop with your worthless tears. I'm not dead yet. You're supposed to be the Empress, so have some dignity, okay?" Lin Chen said with a laugh.
"I'm really fine, don't worry. You've always been very confident in my abilities."
In fact, Lin Chen should have at least suffered some minor injuries at this point. At the last moment, Lin Chen had a flash of inspiration and possessed the system on his back.
"You're so awesome, taking a punch for your little brother. Thanks, system brother."
"bite"
"Damn it, Lin Chen, how could you do this to me? If you ruin me, who's going to give you a chance to win a prize? You'll be starving every day!" The system's voice kept cursing Lin Chen.
The result is obvious: this system is quite useful, and it can even be used as a protective charm in critical moments. It's just a question of how many times it can withstand such protection.
If this happens again, the system will probably be on its way to meet its grandmother first...
"Ding, the system has detected non-resistant damage and entered automatic protection mode."
"Ding! Hidden mission activated. The system can be used to defend against attacks." Reward: 10,000 Dao Spirit Points. The Godly Lottery Pool is now open.
"Ding, the system is automatically shutting down for repairs, triggering a hidden quest. The system is now in hibernation. Reward: a derivative Dao technique, grade unknown. Legend has it that it is a beast realm Dao technique, essential for human transformation."
