Chapter 71
The Death of the Skyfire Squad
Liu Lin's heroic face exuded an air of authority without anger. Her long hair, which fell over her shoulders, danced incessantly in the icy air. Large patches of frost appeared out of thin air around Liu Lin, instantly condensing into ice crystals.
"Ice Soul Slash!"
At this moment, Liu Lin seemed to have transformed into an ice queen, wielding her sword with one hand. A chilling aura emanated from the sword in Liu Lin's hand, passing over Zhang Tian in front of her, and attacking Chen Zhan and the others with an incomparably astonishing momentum.
In an instant, snowflakes danced in the air, ice crystals filled the sky, and a breathtaking snowstorm unfolded, freezing the earth in its tracks.
This was Liu Lin's first all-out slash since obtaining the Ice Soul Sword. She had no idea how powerful this attack would be, but she had to take a gamble. The strongest attack of the entire Skyfire Squad might just be the sword she had just unleashed.
"What powerful strength!" Chen Zhan's eyes widened in disbelief. This attack already possessed the power of a high-level spell.
The icy sword energy swept past, its chilling aura forcibly interrupting the magic that Chen Zhan and the others were preparing to unleash.
Unable to cast a spell, Chen Zhan immediately dodged to the side, but it was too late. He could only activate the magical artifact imprint left in his mind with his thoughts.
Swish!
The icy sword energy slashed fiercely, striking the bearded captain of the War Bear Squad hard and instantly freezing him into a block of ice. Then, the icy energy spread rapidly outward from the bearded captain, freezing everyone, including Chen Zhan, inside the ice.
"It won't freeze for long, run now!" Liu Lin shouted, turning around and running into the depths of the dense forest.
Liu Meng originally wanted to go forward to check the situation, but upon hearing Liu Lin's shouts, he turned around and followed without looking back.
Whoosh! A blazing flame erupted from the ice block, which began to emit white mist and make a sizzling sound.
Immediately afterwards, the ice made a "crunching" sound, and the hard, iron-like ice cracked with fine fissures.
As the cracks gradually increased, with a loud bang, the ice surrounding Chen Zhan shattered.
Looking at his men, frozen and dead, Chen Zhan's face turned sinister. He hadn't been sure if Chen Fu was killed by the Skyfire Squad, so killing them was all he needed to do.
Now, he and the Skyfire Squad are truly enemies, and he's determined not to let the members of the Skyfire Squad die so easily.
……
"Damn it, Chen Zhan is a freak! He chases us but doesn't kill us, toying with us like prey, playing us like puppets. Is he trying to drive us crazy?!" Liu Meng took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and poured it into his mouth, then took out a bottle of powder and sprinkled it on his wounds.
"I'd heard long ago that Chen Fu's backer was a bit monstrous, and seeing him today, it's more than just a little bit," Wang Min couldn't help but complain.
"He's not only freakish, but also quite strong. I've been investigating Chen Fu's background these past few months, and it's rumored that he's already mastered the first two disciplines!" Zhang Tian said with a heavy heart.
"If you master both systems, wouldn't Lin Chen be unable to handle it?" Rou Rou suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lin's expression immediately changed: "We need to find a way to remind Xiao Chengzi to be more careful when leaving Anjie in the future."
Zhang Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "We'll split up and run. Wang Min, go back and remind Lin Chen that we'll lure Chen Zhan away. If we really can't escape, we'll go to that particularly dangerous location marked on Master Lingling's map, hoping for a chance to survive!"
Not long after Zhang Tian finished speaking, a fiery fist descended from the sky and landed directly on the ground.
"Water Guardian!"
Rou Rou summoned a shield to protect everyone.
"Scatter and run!" Zhang Tian shouted, and seeing that Wang Min hadn't moved, he kicked him away: "You better run fast!"
Bang! The Flame Fist slammed into the ground with a loud thud. The violent impact separated Wang Min from the rest of the Skyfire Squad. Wang Min glanced at her teammates, gritted her teeth, released Wind Track, and ran in another direction.
"Trying to run? No way!" Chen Zhan roared, unleashing a spell at Wang Min: "Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"
However, Liu Lin and the others stopped them in time. Wang Min sensed the magical fluctuations behind him and immediately activated the magic-enhancing tools under his feet, doubling his speed once again. In a flash, he disappeared into the dense forest.
Seeing that one member of the Skyfire Squad had escaped, Chen Zhan was extremely displeased. Just as he turned his head to unleash a spell, he saw Liu Lin once again unleash a chilling icy sword aura.
Chen Zhan was shocked. He never expected that Liu Lin could unleash such powerful attacks twice in such a short period of time.
Chen Zhan subconsciously twisted his body, the icy air brushing past his nose and hitting a large tree behind him, freezing him completely.
Although Chen Zhan was unharmed, the icy coldness still invaded his body, causing him to stiffen temporarily.
After Liu Lin unleashed this sword strike, all the strength and magic power in her body were completely drained, and she collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Tian didn't even bother to attack Chen Zhan, and carried Liu Lin on his back, rushing out: "To the designated location."
……
Back at the apartment, it was already past 11 p.m. Lin Chen took a shower and went straight to bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
When Lin Chen woke up, it was already past nine in the morning. He picked up his phone and found that it had already shut down automatically due to low battery.
After plugging in his phone to charge, Lin Chen went to the living room and found that Mu Nujiao and the other two had already gotten up and were having breakfast at the dining table.
"Leave some for me!" Lin Chen rushed down from upstairs.
"This is mine, don't take it. Yours is over there." Ai Tutu stretched out her arms to protect her breakfast.
"You stingy person."
Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Ai Tutu, walked to an empty seat, sat down, picked up a steamed bun from the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as Ai Tutu lowered her guard, Lin Chen quickly snatched a small cake from in front of her, took a bite, and exclaimed, "It's delicious!"
"You damned demon king, how dare you steal my little cake! I'll beat you to death!" Ai Tutu said, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.
Mu Nujiao shook her head as she watched the two people playing around beside her.
Lingling, acting like a little adult, took a sip of milk and looked at Lin Chen with disdain: "Childish brat."
"Ugh, I'm so full!" Lin Chen let out a satisfied burp and walked towards his room.
Back in his room, Lin Chen glanced at his phone and found that it was fully charged, so he immediately turned it on.
As soon as he turned on his phone, Lin Chen discovered that Wang Min had called him seven or eight times, and an ominous feeling immediately enveloped his heart.
Lin Chen immediately dialed back, and the call was answered instantly. But the news that came through the phone made Lin Chen tremble as if he had been hit by a sunny day, and he instantly lost his composure.
