Chapter 2405 - 2406: Fierce Assault

Chapter 2405: Chapter 2406: Fierce Assault

He showed not a hint of fear, but rather a touch of amusement.

One must know that the rod in Pan Hao’s hand is a sacred object within the sect. This alone far surpasses the longsword in Lin Chen’s hand, at least in Pan Hao’s mind.

But little did he know, the longsword in Lin Chen’s hand was no ordinary weapon!

It was his longtime companion, and the other sword, once wielded by Lu Kang, although its origins were unclear, it did not seem mediocre.

Lin Chen’s gaze was icy, for a strong person possesses the confidence of the strong. Even though Lin Chen might not match Pan Hao’s true form, he felt no fear at all.

After all, the Pan Hao before him was merely a residual consciousness!

The sword’s edge descended, unleashing an awe-inspiring force. This force was like a rainbow, and within Lin Chen’s unseen body, an extraordinarily potent power emerged once more.

This was an aura born from his other Spirit Pill, and as spiritual energy poured in again, the sword’s brilliance was fully revealed. Originally concealed within the sword, the spiritual energy now emanated out!

Amidst a cold stare, the two weapons clashed in mid-air!

It was an incredibly terrifying collision.

Both individuals possessed the strength of the fourth realm of the Spirit Pill, and their weapons were by no means ordinary.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, these weapons, already considered Divine Weapons, gained even more sharpness. In the instant of the collision, a fearsome aura spread out,

The intense clash caused the aura to disperse widely. Even from a great distance, Liu Qinghan and others could feel the power contained within this aura far exceeded their current realm.

"No wonder the Sect Master holds him in such high regard; his strength has already far surpassed disciples of the same level."

Everyone present was knowledgeable, and from the strength Lin Chen displayed now, it far exceeded his previous realm.

The terrifying power he unleashed meant that even disciples of higher realms had to consider their tactics in facing him.

"Indeed, he’s not simple, but that Pan... Pan Hao is not a pushover either. Although just a residual consciousness, he has persisted without dissipating, proving his strength."

Another elder added.

This discussion plunged the others into silence. Despite their anxiety, they could only watch from a distance.

A few meters before them, a few red marks circled the boundary, a place they dared not touch. Were they to enter hastily, according to Pan Yan, the residual consciousness would adjust to the number and strength of the intruders, a truly terrifying thought.

So, they pinned their hopes on Lin Chen, hoping he could subdue Pan Hao’s consciousness. By doing so, they could break the sacred object’s restriction.

That was their goal.

As Lin Chen’s strike landed, he felt an incredibly hard force rebounding from the rod.

This seemingly pitch-black rod was extraordinarily sturdy.

The ancient sword in Lin Chen’s hand was formidable enough to cut through ordinary cold iron easily, yet this seemingly wooden rod remained intact under his strike!

Not even a scratch was visible!

Even using a sword technique taught by Wang Hao yielded no effect, showing the rod’s terrifying nature.

No wonder it was a sect’s sacred object, possessing such strength was understandable, otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.

At the moment of collision, Lin Chen, in less than half a breath’s time from astonishment, had no pause. He immediately raised the longsword on his back to start the next assault.

This time, Lin Chen did not use that sword technique, knowing the rod’s hardness from the collision.

His reaction was swift, relying on speed as he launched the sword.

Before Pan Hao could react, the longsword was already in play!

With a soft swish, the sharp blade pierced through the air, emitting alarming cries.

The strange longsword was like a phantom in the dark night. As Lin Chen swung it, the sword was hidden in the darkness, only occasionally revealing a glint when silver light fell upon it.

The sword swung from Lin Chen’s midsection, aiming at Pan Hao’s torso.

The instant change happened in less than half a breath, incredibly fast.

A typical opponent would be caught off guard by this assault, but who was Pan Hao?

As the second-generation Sect Master of Green Ripple Sect, his strength and battle awareness were incomparable to ordinary people. His strength, like Lin Chen’s, was hard-earned, making him not easy to outsmart.

Before Lin Chen’s sword fully extended, Pan Hao sensed danger, a bodily instinct.

In an instant, his body moved.

His blood-formed body, in a field of crimson, became fluid like water.

Pan Hao’s body twisted unbelievably, his waist retracting backward fiercely.

The retraction measured a whole foot!

How astonishing and terrifying!

Withdrawing that way, despite Lin Chen’s sword length, they were still at a distance. With Pan Hao’s retraction, the sword couldn’t reach him.

The air drew a semicircle before Lin Chen, and he retracted the sword back.

Though he withdrew the longsword, Pan Hao’s weird technique left Lin Chen’s pupils contracted in astonishment. He had never heard of such a transformation, not even the strongest cultivators could alter their bodies this way.

"How is it possible...?"

He murmured, his gaze toward Pan Hao filled with gravity.

The Pan Hao before him was indeed remarkable, and his techniques now gave Lin Chen a heavy heart. If this continued, there was hardly a point in fighting.

The Tianyan Ancient Sword couldn’t pierce the rod’s defense, and with Pan Hao’s body being as it was, how could he fight?
