Chapter 772: Chapter 66: Coercion and the Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Swish!
A cold sword light fiercely pierced down, splitting a ten-zhang long ravine on the sea surface. A Canglan Sect disciple was eagerly struck by the Sword Qi, spewing blood in mid-air and flying backward.
Standing with a sword was a Canglan Beast, formed entirely from pure Canglan energy! Its eyes were a deep blue, devoid of any emotion, only exuding a palpable aura of destruction.
Swish!
The Canglan Beast swung its sword again, but just as its long sword was raised, a blaze of fire roared over, instantly enveloping it.
A few breaths later, the Canglan Beast let out a wailing sound and disappeared within the flames.
"Cough cough, thank you, Junior Brother Lin."
The saved Canglan Sect disciple showed gratitude upon seeing Lin Chen, who had made the move.
"Senior Brother, be careful."
Lin Chen didn’t say much, as the situation before them was very dangerous.
Wherever his gaze swept, the vast Canglan Sea had turned into a battlefield at this moment.
Dozens of variously shaped yet all ferocious and violent Canglan Beasts were frantically attacking the disciples of the Canglan Sect.
Each exuded an aura far beyond the ordinary, carrying a twisted will to kill.
Blood poured onto the azure sea, and the clothes of several Canglan Sect disciples were in tatters, their bodies covered in deep wounds visible to the bone.
Even though Lin Chen continuously provided support, he couldn’t handle the endless emergence of Canglan Beasts from beneath the sea surface.
Kill one batch, and another appeared.
"The strength of this Lin Chen is truly beyond my expectations."
"Not a single Canglan Beast can withstand even one round against him; his strength is truly terrifying."
The other disciples observing from the beach felt awe as they looked at Lin Chen, who resembled a war god.
At this moment, they had to admit that Lin Chen’s strength surpassed theirs.
And speaking of age, Lin Chen was the youngest among them.
"It’s useless; there are too many Canglan Beasts. They simply can’t be killed off. Now, they’re just flawless-level Canglan Beasts. If several flawless-level Canglan Beasts appear and Lin Chen gets held up, all these Canglan Sect disciples would die."
Escape the sea surface?
The Canglan Sect disciples were simply unable to do so.
Previously, some Canglan Sect disciples tried to leave the beach, but the Canglan Beasts still pursued them. The beach was only so big; there was nowhere to escape.
"Junior Brother Qiao, are you alright?"
Seeing Qiao Yuan surrounded by three Canglan Beasts, Lin Chen transformed into a torrent of fire, incinerating the three Canglan Beasts.
"Senior Brother Lin, don’t worry about us."
Qiao Yuan looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression. Although he had never admitted it, from the moment Lin Chen reached the peak of Martial Arts Mountain, he recognized Lin Chen.
The recent batches of the Canglan Sect had no absolutely outstanding genius disciples appearing, and Lin Chen was the most talented disciple of the Canglan Sect in recent decades.
They could die, but Lin Chen couldn’t.
With three hours left until the opening of the Canglan Secret Realm, as long as they held on a bit longer to draw the Canglan Beasts’ firepower, Lin Chen might be able to endure these three two-hour periods.
"Junior Brother Qiao is right, Junior Brother Lin, don’t worry about us; retreat to the beachside to conserve your strength."
Another Canglan Sect disciple, after slashing down a Canglan Beast, hoarsely shouted toward Lin Chen. His left arm hung limply, severely injured in the recent skirmish with the Canglan Beast.
There were too many Canglan Beasts; they couldn’t all survive, and someone would inevitably die. Although the truth was cruel, in the sect’s eyes, none of them could match Junior Brother Lin alone.
"Yes, Junior Brother Lin, don’t worry about us."
Not far away, Zhuang Yichen struck a Canglan Beast with his blade, forcing it back: "We’re not doing this for you; it’s for the sect. We can’t act recklessly now."
No one wants to die!
Especially not these genius disciples, but in this situation, only Junior Brother Lin has the best chance of survival. While Junior Brother Lin appears effortlessly overpowering these Canglan Beasts, Yue Xiu and others knew it must be draining Lin’s innate power within him.
A Martial Artist of the Innate First Realm still can’t continuously replenish their innate power.
These disciples, in the past, contested for rankings and resources, borne grudges; yet now, they only knew one thing, they were disciples of the Canglan Sect.
At the beach’s edge, Blood Moon Sect’s Yue Shan and the other Outer Sect disciples remained coldly observing, their eyes flickering with complex emotions, be it fear or calculation, showing no intention to aid.
Only Zeng Xi, not far from the beach, was entangled with two Canglan Beasts, but that’s all he could manage. Any more, and he’d have to choose retreat and abandon the fight.
Listening to Qiao Yuan and the others, Lin Chen understood that their suggestion to conserve his strength wasn’t out of deep affection, but because they were Canglan Sect disciples. Based on his displayed talent and strength, he could become a pillar of the Canglan Sect in the future.
They did it for the Canglan Sect.
"Actually, the choice of these Canglan Sect disciples isn’t wrong. Saving Lin Chen is correct."
"With Lin Chen’s talent and strength, unless he falls, advancing to the Innate Sixth Realm shouldn’t be a problem."
On the beach, Mu Jun slowly spoke. Despite the fact that these super sects had Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouses as their foundation, Myriad Phenomena powerhouses rarely show up easily.
Some disciples may never even see a Myriad Phenomena powerhouse from their sect in their lifetime.
The competition and resource contention among the major sects rely mostly on their Innate Sixth Realm powerhouses.
Myriad Phenomena powerhouses are considered the stabilizing needle of a super sect, and naturally, they are not dispatched easily.
