CHAPTER 1595: CHAPTER 1594: WE’VE BEEN OUTMANEUVERED

"Since this formation wasn’t activated by you, then hurry up and shut it down for me!"

The bearded man glared at Gu Zixuan, urging him impatiently.

Due to the presence of this formation, they couldn’t charge into the golden shield, let alone harm Lin Chen and the others.

Moreover, the golden shield had fired ropes of light, which tightly bound his men, rendering them completely incapacitated.

Upon hearing the bearded man’s words, Gu Zixuan hastily took out the controlling jade slip for the flying boat, attempting to shut down the formation, even though he believed the formation didn’t originally belong to their flying boat.

Sure enough, after Gu Zixuan took out the formation’s control jade slip and fiddled with it, the formation before him didn’t change at all.

Seeing this situation, Gu Zixuan felt a surge of panic, and then, as if realizing something, he locked his gaze on Lin Chen, believing this matter couldn’t be unrelated to him.

"Kid, this must be your doing, quickly open this formation for me!"

Gu Zixuan glared at Lin Chen, shouting coldly.

Hearing Gu Zixuan’s words, Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh, unsure if it was that Gu Zixuan was too foolish, or if he took Lin Chen for a fool. Under such circumstances, how could Lin Chen possibly open this defensive array?

"You harbor conspiracies, so naturally, I must leave some contingency measures, otherwise, being led by the nose by you all, I might not even know how I’d meet my end."

"As it turns out, just as I suspected, you’re in cahoots with these bandits."

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise, I probably would have just let you slaughter me now."

Lin Chen looked at Gu Zixuan and the others, speaking coldly.

On the journey back to the Yunlong Heavenly Palace aboard the flying boat, Lin Chen secretly laid out a formation in the past few days, altered the control authority of the flying boat’s formation to wield it himself, and even reinforced the flying boat’s defensive array, adding some offensive means.

For this reason, this flying boat possessed such a powerful defensive array and offensive capabilities.

Lin Chen’s attainments in formations were so profound that his secret actions went entirely unnoticed by Gu Zixuan and the others.

"So Junior Brother Lin Chen had such plans all along, making us worry for nothing; Junior Brother Lin Chen, you’re truly amazing!"

Cheng Liang looked at Lin Chen, praising him immediately, with his admiration for Lin Chen reaching a profound level.

Zi Ling also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, filled with admiration for Lin Chen’s strategies.

Xu Yufang and Gu Zixuan, seeing the scene before them, realized they had entirely underestimated this seemingly inconspicuous Nirvana Realm powerhouse.

Thus, Xu Yufang and others, paying no mind to anything else, attacked the defensive array before them decisively, attempting to shatter it and escape.

Because they had previously signed a blood contract with Lin Chen, they couldn’t harm Lin Chen and the others.

However, Lin Chen could strike at them; now that their conspiracy was exposed, it’s natural that Lin Chen and the others wouldn’t let them off easily.

Lin Chen’s expression turned cold as he looked at Gu Zixuan, Xu Yufang, and the other seven people.

As for the bearded man and other bandits, Lin Chen didn’t have the leisure to deal with them for now.

After all, even though Lin Chen had modified the flying boat’s defensive array, it couldn’t withstand continued attacks from so many powerful individuals, so Lin Chen had to end things swiftly, handling part of the trouble first.

In the distance, seeing Gu Zixuan and others on the flying boat begin attacking that golden defensive formation, the bearded man looked confused, not knowing what was happening.

On the flying boat, Gu Zixuan and Xu Yufang and others were frantically attacking the golden shield, yet Lin Chen and the other two, who were their targets, were calmly composed.

"Gu Zixuan, Xu Yufang, what exactly are you doing? Hurry up and open the defensive formation for me, let me deal with them!"

The bearded man shouted angrily at Gu Zixuan, Xu Yufang, and the seven others.

He truly couldn’t understand what these people were up to at such a critical moment.

"Boss Deng, hurry up and come break this formation yourself."

"We’ve fallen for this kid’s ploy, he controls this flying boat, and he activated the defensive formation."

Gu Zixuan shouted urgently at the bearded man.

Upon hearing this, the bearded man was stupefied.

"Gu Zixuan, are you mistaken? Wasn’t this flying boat given to you by the Third Prince? How could they possibly control the flying boat? Are they also people of the Third Prince?"

The bearded man spoke calmly, then shifted his gaze to Lin Chen and the others.

"How would we know, stop guessing randomly and act!"

Gu Zixuan urged the bearded man.

While they conversed, Lin Chen could be seen manipulating those golden ropes of light, knocking down the bandits charging onto the flying boat one by one, then binding them all with golden light ropes.

Upon hearing Gu Zixuan’s words, the bearded man immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.

"Everyone, prepare the warship’s firepower, aim at their flying boat, and blast that golden shield open for me!"

The bearded man commanded his subordinates immediately.

Upon hearing the bearded man’s words, the bandit subordinates looked bewildered, not understanding why Boss Deng wanted them to attack Gu Zixuan and others’ flying boat, weren’t they partners, having completed several deals together? Could the boss want to burn bridges after crossing?

"What are you all standing stunned for?"

The bearded man shouted at his subordinates.

Following the command, the bandits didn’t dare think more, immediately heading to the warship’s firepower, setting up the cannons, and starting to gather energy to attack the flying boat where Lin Chen and others were.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, these guys intend to use the warship’s firepower to attack us, what should we do?"

Zi Ling, seeing those bandits preparing to use the warship’s firepower to attack them, felt a wave of tension inwardly.

After all, knowing that those bandits were piloting a Profound Grade High-Grade warship, not to be underestimated in power.

If they open fire, the golden defensive array before them might not withstand it.

What puzzled Zi Ling was the expensive value of the Profound Grade High-Grade warship, far more than their current flying boat; how could these bandits afford it?

Knowing that a single Profound Grade High-Grade warship costs at least ten million low-grade spirit crystals.

"No matter, they won’t have the chance to open fire."

Lin Chen said calmly upon hearing Zi Ling’s words.

Roar—

As Lin Chen’s words fell, an enormous beast suddenly descended from the sky.
