Chapter 2406: Chapter 2407: Reversal

"How about it? Is it fun?"

Pan Hao seemed to be quite amused, looking at Lin Chen with great interest.

Although Pan Hao was speaking, his hand was not idle; his left hand swung out when Lin Chen was slightly off guard.

In mid-air, it quickly condensed into a rather large fist.

Even though Lin Chen was in shock, his attention did not relax in the slightest.

At the very moment Pan Hao made a move, Lin Chen also reacted immediately. Such speed is undeniably fast.

With the Tianyan Ancient Sword combined with Wang Hao’s sword techniques unable to break through that defense, and the attack gradually approaching, Lin Chen could only temporarily avoid its edge and find a way later.

His foot tapped lightly on the ground, and as he turned around, he withdrew the Tianyan Ancient Sword that had collided with the round stick. His movement was seamless, showcasing how many battles Lin Chen had experienced to be honed to such a degree.

Although his speed was extremely fast, a sudden change occurred in the arm that Pan Hao extended!

The left hand he waved suddenly swelled, a trajectory of growth that Lin Chen did not expect.

How could he have known Pan Hao still had such a trick up his sleeve?

Even though Lin Chen’s full attention was on the offensive from Pan Hao, he had just shifted from offense to defense, at the moment old strength had not dissipated and new strength was yet to arise.

Though it was just a fleeting moment, how could the attack from Pan Hao be slow?

In just a moment’s time, Pan Hao’s suddenly extended arm rushed forward, aiming directly at Lin Chen’s chest and abdomen.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed; at this moment, he had no room to dodge.

Who would have expected Pan Hao to have such a trick here?

Lin Chen naturally couldn’t evade in time; he felt a sharp pain there, like a knife twisting in his abdomen. Especially since Pan Hao’s blow showed no mercy.

He attacked with all his might, at the Spirit Pill fourth level.

Under this blow, Lin Chen’s abdomen suddenly contracted backward, while his upper body involuntarily extended forward, a thread of crimson breath spewing from his open throat.

With several loud thuds, Lin Chen’s body crashed heavily on the ground, the sound ringing far away.

The power contained in this strike was terrifyingly unexpected.

What Lin Chen couldn’t foresee was Pan Hao’s tactic.

Fortunately, it was Lin Chen standing here now, facing Pan Hao, possessing an extraordinarily strong physique; if it were someone else, they might have been knocked down by just this one hit.

But Lin Chen was still somewhat better off.

Despite the pain in his body, he rose again from the ground, supported by two longswords.

On his face, however, one could see he was in a rather sorry state, his face dirty and disheveled, with traces of crimson at the corners of his mouth mixed with mud.

"Cough..."

Lin Chen coughed dryly, feeling another wave of pain wash over him. He furrowed his brows slightly, then looked at Pan Hao again.

"What? Still want to try?"

Pan Hao said lazily.

"What technique was that just now?"

Lin Chen asked coldly, coughing up blood.

"You mean this?"

Pan Hao moved his hand again. On that hand, there was no noticeable fluctuation, but suddenly, the arm extended rapidly and lengthened a bit.

This caused Lin Chen’s pupils to shrink sharply.

He was now using that third eye to observe, but strangely, from Pan Hao’s hand, there was not the slightest fluctuation to be seen. Yet, in such a straightforward situation, it suddenly grew longer.

This was something Lin Chen had never encountered before. He frowned tighter, feeling the oddity of it all.

Especially since the third eye, which could see the trajectory of even magic sect movements, seemed utterly ineffective against Pan Hao. How could Lin Chen not be shocked?

"I’m not of flesh and blood."

Seeing Lin Chen’s perplexed look, Pan Hao explained, "The body I possess now is indestructible, untouchable, so you might as well save your strength."

After hearing these words, Lin Chen coughed a few more times.

Then, as if something dawned on him, he raised his head again, glaring at Pan Hao, demanding, "Since your restriction has a method to undo it, why set up such an insurmountable obstacle here?"

This was something not only Lin Chen but also Liu Qinghan and the elders in the distance needed to understand. The strangeness they sensed stemmed from this.

It was a way to undo the restriction, but according to Pan Hao’s words, it seemed to lead to a dead end. If that’s the case, why go to the trouble of leaving such a method?

"Do you think I wanted to?"

After hearing Lin Chen speak, Pan Hao snorted coldly, saying, "I wanted to claim this thing for myself long ago. Unfortunately, my strength was insufficient to succeed at the time. Although I employed some tricks here, with that old immortal suppressing it, I had no choice but to leave a way out. Otherwise, why would I hand it over to you useless mortals?"

Pan Hao gritted his teeth. If it weren’t for the first Sect Master’s interference, he would have fled with the stick already.

But because his power was too high, Pan Hao couldn’t suppress him for long, which is why he felt so angry. The fact that he stubbornly suppressed his realm and refused to ascend, all to take Pan Hao to the divine realm together, to prevent him from exploiting a loophole, infuriated Pan Hao.

This left Pan Hao seething.

"How could it be like this..."

At this point, Liu Qinghan felt a bit lost. The string of events happening lately had already left Liu Qinghan vexed.

And now, to find out that their ancestral sect leader, the previous Sect Master, was such a selfish person, so different from what was rumored, left Liu Qinghan’s emotions in turbulence.

"Then, the previous legends, the abilities left on the sacred artifact, and the perpetual elder position for the Pan family in the sect, are all concocted?"

"This thing originally belonged to the old man. He was just too lazy to study it, so he tossed it to me. Seeing the abilities on this staff weren’t bad, he thought to house it in the sect as a sacred relic."

"But this thing was supposed to be mine!"

Pan Hao roared, his voice seething with anger, like a child having his candy forcibly taken away.
