Chapter 1469 1464: The Man in the Darkness [First Update]
At this moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.The power of the Yellow Sword Intense Fire, is naturally not as great as the Xuan Sword Moon Slash, and even less so than the Earth Sword Martial God, but that is only relatively speaking!
As a part of the Defeating Heaven Sword Technique, its power is terrifying.
Moreover, the reason why the power of this Yellow Sword Intense Fire is somewhat lacking is actually largely related to Su Chen. If Su Chen himself were strong enough, the power of the Yellow Sword would be enough for Su Chen to rampage.
Furthermore, the 'Peacock Spread' move is the signature skill of Old Master Lin. Among those with the same cultivation level, there are few who dare confront this famous skill of Old Master Lin directly.
Today, confronting Su Chen so stubbornly, the power of the Yellow Sword somewhat exceeded Old Master Lin's expectations.
"Cough, cough... Your strength is indeed a bit surprising. Was that sword strike your strongest blow?" Old Master Lin had obviously suffered some loss in that collision.
"Not quite." Su Chen's mouth also bled, but to say he was seriously injured was naturally out of the question. His physical condition was too outstanding, simply incomparable to Old Master Lin's.
"Not quite? Then why didn't you use your strongest move against me?"
"Is there a need?" Su Chen's nonchalant words made Old Master Lin instantly age by three years.
Su Chen didn't even need to use his strongest move against him, which meant Su Chen didn't regard him as a formidable enemy.
"You're very confident, but you're injured too, aren't you? And perhaps, it's not that you don't want to use your strongest move against me, but rather... your inner strength doesn't allow it?!" Old Master Lin suddenly thought of a possibility.
Su Chen: "..."
What could he do? Could he tell Old Master Lin that the poisoned tea he was given had no effect on him?
Suddenly, Su Chen's expression changed: "Watch out!"
Although Su Chen warned in time, it was already too late, as the person lurking in the shadows had already made a move!
However, the target wasn't Su Chen, but rather Old Master Lin.
"Hmm?" Although Old Master Lin quickly reacted, he didn't have time to respond.
The person in the shadows struck with a sword, piercing through Old Master Lin's chest in the blink of an eye.
"Gush..." Blood spilled from Old Master Lin's chest, unfurling like a blooming flower.
Old Master Lin looked incredulously at the short sword in his chest.
"Clap, clap, clap..." The person who wielded the sword in the shadows quickly distanced themselves from Old Master Lin.
A clap rang out from the dark-robed figure: "Very impressive, a splendid showdown, the battle between two Holy Realm Martial Artists is quite interesting."
A deep voice, laced with a unique sense of authority, exploded by Su Chen's ear.
Su Chen ignored that person and instead focused on Old Master Lin's injury.
Inner strength was infused into Old Master Lin's body without reserve.
After all, Old Master Lin was Lin Xi's grandfather, and Su Chen had no intention of killing him. If Old Master Lin died outside,
The people in the Lin family estate had clearly watched him and Old Master Lin leave together.
When they return, if he's fine but Old Master Lin has become a corpse, what would others think?
This scapegoat, Su Chen is not willing to bear!
However, this sword seemed to have magic power, for Su Chen's inner strength couldn't stop the bleeding from Old Master Lin's chest.
"Heh heh, is a wound made by Blood Blade so easy to stop from bleeding? How naïve are you?"
"Who are you? Do you have a grudge against Old Master Lin?" Su Chen asked while calmly channeling inner strength into Old Master Lin's body and conversing with this sudden intruder.
"Heh heh, a grudge against this old gentleman? No, I don't even know him," the deep and authoritative voice laughed.
"Since there's no grudge, why did you ambush him? And with such a vicious method?"
Though Su Chen had no idea what the origin of this sword was, from the opponent calling it 'Blood Blade', it was certainly not an ordinary item.
"I have no grudge against him, but we do have one against you," the person's voice suddenly turned stern and addressed Su Chen seriously.
"A grudge against me?" Su Chen was slightly taken aback, as this individual was entirely blank in his memory.
Unless he could swap body parts at will like Shayue Zhenqin or deceive senses like Yao, there was no reason Su Chen shouldn't recognize him.
"You've never met me, but you killed my capable subordinate and an up-and-comer I favored," the deep authoritative voice stated.
"Perhaps you've heard of my organization, we call it 'Purgatory'."
"Purgatory." Su Chen's pupils suddenly shrank, as if thinking something into existence.
Back in the estate, when Su Chen saw the assassin who committed suicide by poison, he had already considered the possibility of Purgatory but couldn't confirm it, yet now this unexpected individual claimed to be from Purgatory.
"Were the attackers in the estate also your people?" Su Chen said in a deep voice.
"That's right, they were all arranged by me, though it was quite accidental," the deep, authoritative voice under the black robe suddenly emitted an odd chuckle.
"To have killed the Black Robed Inspector, your strength must not be low. I saw your recent battle; you possess strength not inferior to advanced martial artists of the ordinary Saint, even able to go toe-to-toe with martial artists at the peak of the Saint Realm. Had you not killed our people from Purgatory, I might have been interested in recruiting you as a subordinate, but now, you have only one path left: death!"
"What is your status?" Su Chen tried to pull the short sword named 'Blood Blade' from Old Master Lin.
However, with just a slight movement, blood flowed even faster from Old Master Lin's wound.
"Heh heh, if you want to know my status, defeat me and you'll find out!" The deep voice chuckled, reminding Su Chen: "You'd better not pull the 'Blood Blade' out of that old fellow's body easily, otherwise he might have lived for two more hours without it, yet pulling it out might leave him with under twenty minutes."
Su Chen's eyes grew solemn, as he made an unexpected move.
He slit his own wrist, letting blood drip into Old Master Lin's wound.
This action left the deep and authoritative voice momentarily stunned.
What is he doing?
Starting self-harm before the fight even began?
Without understanding what Su Chen was doing, the voice didn't act, simply watching quietly.
Within a mere two minutes, Su Chen suddenly pulled out the 'Blood Blade'.
The deep voice instinctively exclaimed: "Are you crazy?"
Yet it immediately saw that, despite the 'Blood Blade' being pulled out, Old Master Lin wasn't bleeding excessively nor was the wound worsening.
