Fusang Cultivators? Kill!

Unfortunately, the attacker underestimated Lin Chen's strength. Lin Chen activated his Blood Qi True Flame, blocking all the incoming projectiles.

"What is this..."

Looking at the projectiles on the ground, Lin Chen's brow furrowed slightly, and his expression immediately turned grim. "Shuriken!"

While the Great Xia cultivation world had many types of hidden weapons, shuriken were extremely rare. Only cultivators from one place used them: Fusang!

"Living too well, are they? Daring to cause trouble in Great Xia?" Lin Chen's eyes surged with killing intent. Whether in his past life or this one, he held no good feelings for that country.

Unfortunately, the attacker was too well hidden. Under the cover of the mist, Lin Chen couldn't find them and could only continue deeper into the fog.

After walking for a while, the sound of a fierce battle drifted from the distance. Lin Chen's expression changed slightly, and he was about to rush over when, at that moment, several whistling sounds struck.

"This trick again?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Lin Chen's face. He directly swung his fist, blocking the incoming projectiles. However, at that very moment, a figure rapidly attacked, slashing towards Lin Chen's head.

"Seeking death!"

Facing the incoming attack, Lin Chen didn't retreat but advanced, his fist slamming into the attacking figure.

"Killed a second-tier Ghost. Origin +1000."

A Ghost?

Lin Chen was stunned. At the same time, the ground suddenly exploded, and a sharp blade shot towards his waist, as if intending to cut him in half.

"Just a scurrying rat that only knows how to hide!"

Lin Chen sneered coldly. His Blood Qi True Flame instantly enveloped his entire body. The incoming blade melted into molten iron the moment it touched the Blood Qi True Flame.

Seeing this, the attacker immediately abandoned their blade and fled. However, as soon as they moved, a hand grabbed their neck.

"What is your objective?" Lin Chen looked at the man in the gray-white clothes he had captured.

"Great Xia dog, you won't get any information from me!" the man said with disdain.

"As you wish!"

Lin Chen swung his fist, directly breaking all four of the man's limbs. He then activated his Blood Qi True Flame, engulfing the man's body.

"Ahhh~"

In the flames, the man screamed miserably. Lin Chen controlled the power of the Blood Qi True Flame, ensuring it would burn for a while before turning to ash. Burning him to ash directly would be too easy.

"Kill me, kill me!"

Ignoring the wails from the flames, Lin Chen moved, heading towards the direction of the fighting.

A moment later, Lin Chen arrived at the battlefield. He saw two men being besieged by two gray-white figures. The two men were clearly at a disadvantage, with several crimson wounds on their bodies.

Seeing the situation, Lin Chen directly activated his Blood Qi True Flame and joined the fray. The two gray-white figures were instantly routed. Just like his previous actions, two balls of screaming flames appeared on the ground.

Looking at the fireballs on the ground, the two men swallowed. When they clearly saw Lin Chen's appearance, their expressions changed. "It's you!"

"You recognize me?" Lin Chen looked at the two men.

Lin Chen didn't know many cultivators, and he definitely didn't know these two. Yet, they clearly seemed to recognize him, which made him curious.

"We saw you outside the mist just now," the short-shirted man quickly explained.

"So you're not from the Demon Suppression Division?" Lin Chen frowned.

"No, we were also recruited for temporary support," the short-shirted man paused slightly before continuing, "We didn't expect Fusang cultivators to appear here, and even Shikigami. They aren't our match in a head-on fight, but under sneak attacks, we suffered greatly."

Shikigami?

Lin Chen immediately understood. The Ghosts he had killed earlier were not stray spirits but Shikigami of Fusang cultivators, similar to the Ghost-raising lineage in Great Xia.

"You are seriously injured. Stay here and wait for reinforcements. I'll go support the Demon Suppression Division," Lin Chen said to the two disheveled men.

The two men nodded. Their injuries were severe, and some wounds were poisoned, significantly weakening their strength.

After parting ways with the two men, Lin Chen quickly ventured deeper into the mist. After a while, he arrived in front of a dark gray barrier, and before the barrier stood a middle-aged man in luxurious attire.

Looking at the barrier not far away, Lin Chen's expression condensed. "A barrier!"

"To be able to reach here, your strength is quite good. I acknowledge you!" the middle-aged man said to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at the middle-aged man not far away and couldn't help but laugh. "Do you know what happened to the last guy who acted so arrogant in front of me?"

Huh?

The middle-aged man was startled. Before he could say anything, Lin Chen's figure had already appeared before him. "He turned around and went to sleep, unable to act arrogant anymore!"

As Lin Chen's words fell, his fist, wrapped in Blood Qi True Flame, smashed directly towards the middle-aged man's head.

Just then, a black dog rushed out from the middle-aged man, biting at Lin Chen's fist. Unfortunately, the black dog overestimated its strength and was directly pierced by Lin Chen's fist. The fist then slammed heavily onto the middle-aged man's head.

Bang~

The middle-aged man flew backward, crashing into the barrier behind him.

"Not dead?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Chen's face. His punch should have been enough to take down an ordinary third-tier cultivator.

Crack~

At that moment, a cracking sound came from the man's face. Transparent ice shattered, revealing that an unknown layer of solid ice had formed on his face.

"You killed my Black Dog, I'll kill you." The middle-aged man looked at the Black Dog that had turned to ash, and was instantly furious. "Snow Woman, kill him!"

As the middle-aged man's voice fell, the mist around him gathered, instantly transforming into a white figure that exuded a powerful chill.

"So that's how it is!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen suddenly understood why his punch earlier hadn't killed the opponent. The other party not only had a Black Dog protecting him, but also a Snow Woman. Under the double protection, he had managed to withstand his attack.

Whoosh~

The white figure raised its arm, and the mist around Lin Chen gathered, instantly condensing into ice, freezing Lin Chen's body and turning him into an ice sculpture.

"To be able to force me to use the Snow Woman, you are already..."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but sneer when he saw this. However, before he could finish speaking, the ice layer on Lin Chen's body directly vaporized and dissipated, and Lin Chen's figure directly appeared in front of the Snow Woman.

"Blood Qi True Flame, ten percent power!"

The Blood Qi True Flame was fully activated, and with a punch landing on the Snow Woman, the Snow Woman's figure rapidly melted and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Killed a Tier 3 Ghost, Origin +2000."

"Snow Woman!"

The middle-aged man's face was filled with horror. The Snow Woman, in this misty environment, had a strength comparable to a peak Tier 3 existence, yet she was killed by Lin Chen in one move?

"Your turn!"

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded in the middle-aged man's ear. Looking at the incoming fist, the middle-aged man cried out in terror, "No!"

Bang~

Lin Chen's fist landed, and the middle-aged man's head directly turned into ash. The headless body slowly fell.

"Another guy who falls asleep as soon as their head is gone!" Lin Chen said with emotion.
