CHAPTER 1246: CHAPTER 1246 SWORDSMANSHIP DUEL

Looking at the intense killing intent on Zhang Hongying, Lin Chen slightly narrowed his eyes.

"I say, Little Lady, do you harbor such strong killing intent towards me? I insulted your Zhang Family, but it was your useless brother who provoked me first. Why is it that only your Zhang Family is allowed to act recklessly, but others can’t resist?"

"My grievances with the Zhang Family aren’t deep, but if you continue to strike at me with such murderous intent, I won’t hold back. When that time comes, it will truly be an unending confrontation with the Zhang Family."

Lin Chen spoke calmly, his eyes fixed on Zhang Hongying, without any expression.

However, after hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhang Hongying not only didn’t reflect calmly but became incredibly angry, staring at Lin Chen with rage and killing intent.

"How dare you address me like this! You’re courting death."

"The Zhang Family never yields to threats; I, Zhang Hongying, vow to fight you to the bitter end."

Zhang Hongying coldly said, looking at Lin Chen.

As her words faded, she unsheathed the sharp sword in her hand and slashed at Lin Chen once again.

Seeing this, Lin Chen decided not to hold back any longer.

Facing an opponent who relentlessly pursued him, intent to kill, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t give Zhang Hongying another chance.

Since the opponent decided this would be a fight to the finish, Lin Chen would then face the entire Zhang Family as an enemy.

Boom—

In response to Zhang Hongying’s sword attack, Lin Chen unleashed a burst of golden light from his fist. With a punch, a gust of wind turned into a mighty golden dragon.

The dragon emitted a roar.

Boom—

The dragon collided with the Sword Qi from Zhang Hongying’s slash, instantly forcing her to retreat several miles.

Staring at the golden dragon, Zhang Hongying was overwhelmed with awe, never expecting Lin Chen to master such a Fist Technique.

"Divine Dragon Fist, how can you possibly perform the Divine Dragon Fist!"

Filled with shock and doubt, Zhang Hongying began to speculate on Lin Chen’s true identity.

"What, you recognize this Fist Technique?"

Lin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, looking at Zhang Hongying, and asked with curiosity.

"Divine Dragon Fist, who in the entire Cloud Dragon Kingdom doesn’t know, it’s the signature technique of the Divine Dragon Celestial Master."

Stopping her attack, Zhang Hongying slowly explained.

If Lin Chen can cultivate such a Fist Technique, he is certainly no ordinary Martial Artist.

All that talk of being a disciple of the Su Family in Tian Que City must be a cover for his true identity, given that Lin Chen’s surname isn’t Su.

"Lin, what is your relationship with the Divine Dragon Celestial Master?"

Zhang Hongying asked, her gaze fixed on Lin Chen.

Nevertheless, Lin Chen didn’t respond.

Because Lin Chen truly didn’t know who the Divine Dragon Celestial Master was; the Divine Dragon Fist was acquired through a transaction with Duan Yuanfeng.

"Are you still fighting this battle or not? If not, then I’ll be on my way."

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying, dismissing her inquiries without intending to answer.

Joking, Lin Chen had no idea who the Divine Dragon Celestial Master was.

She asked, does he have to answer? Moments ago, she wielded a sword wanting to kill him, and Lin Chen wasn’t so cheap as to respond obediently to her questions the next second.

The urgent matter is to quickly find Yu Weilian and the others, so Lin Chen didn’t have the time to deal with Zhang Hongying.

"Lin Chen, don’t think that because you know the Divine Dragon Celestial Master, I won’t dare kill you."

"Insulting my Zhang Family, you can forget about leaving here peacefully today."

Zhang Hongying, seeing Lin Chen’s dismissive attitude in battle, turned to leave, infuriating her. So she swung her sword once more to kill Lin Chen.

Buzz—

This time, when Zhang Hongying drew her sword, an intensely cold aura suddenly surrounded the area, as if intending to freeze the entire space.

Seeing this, Lin Chen furrowed his brows and secretly thought that Zhang Hongying intended to show her true capability.

An inherent power of such freezing Attribute, to a normal Martial Artist, battling her might freeze one’s own Spiritual Power.

Nonetheless, Lin Chen was unafraid.

With a wave of his hand, a Flame Lotus gathered in his palm, which he threw towards Zhang Hongying.

The ice cones originally enveloping Lin Chen in the space were immediately neutralized as the two forces collided, shattering countless ice cones.

Lin Chen glanced over the space, gazing at the frozen ice cones with a slight frown.

Deep down, he thought, this little lady is really going all out, deploying such powerful means.

If Lin Chen weren’t armed with Divine Fire, he would indeed struggle to dispel her icy might.

Not giving up after Lin Chen effortlessly dispersed her attack, Zhang Hongying swung her second sword downward, aiming at Lin Chen’s head.

Seeing Zhang Hongying unwilling to abandon the attack, Lin Chen was angered.

With a flash of light in his hand, seven Flying Swords instantly appeared around Lin Chen.

With a thought, Lin Chen pointed across the void, triggering the Sword Dao Principles. The seven Flying Swords immediately formed a Sword Array in mid-air, merging into a powerful Thunderfire Sword, striking towards Zhang Hongying.

Boom—

The two Sword Qi collided; Zhang Hongying’s icy Sword was shattered upon contact with Lin Chen’s Thunderfire Sword.

Crash—

Lin Chen’s Sword Qi obliterated Zhang Hongying’s slash and impacted her body, instantly sending her flying hundreds of miles, blood spurting from her mouth.

Her body and internal organs suffered heavy damage under Lin Chen’s strike.

Struggling to open her eyes, Zhang Hongying was deeply shocked internally. She initially believed Lin Chen excelled in close combat and Fist Techniques, not expecting his Swordsmanship to be even stronger, far surpassing her.

Nonetheless, Zhang Hongying had now understood Lin Chen’s capabilities. Even if it meant sacrificing her life, she would slay Lin Chen right there today.

However, as she got up and searched the surroundings for Lin Chen, she found that he had long gone, not knowing where he escaped to.

Gulp—

Spewing fresh blood again, Zhang Hongying clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with unwillingness. Immediately, she released her Spiritual Sense to search for Lin Chen’s figure in the vicinity, yet her detection over hundreds of miles yielded no trace of Lin Chen’s presence.

"Lin Chen, just you wait. No matter where you flee, I, your elder sister, will find you. This is an unending confrontation!"

"Next time we meet, I will slay you beneath my sword."

Zhang Hongying shouted furiously.

The Swordsmanship she once prided herself on was defeated by Lin Chen.

Yet, just as her words ended, she felt a chill from behind.
