At this moment, Lin Chen was in his strongest form.

In terms of equipment, he had an ancient divine artifact.

The Primordial Celestial Extremity!

The attack attributes increased by this single piece of equipment were comparable to a complete set of nine-star crafted gear at level 120.

In addition, he had a complete set of first-revolution nine-star crafted gear.

The attributes were maxed out.

Skywalkers rely heavily on attributes.

Because it is an all-around class.

The health isn't low.

At the same time, both attack stats must be developed together, and the speed must be fast.

Lin Chen's attributes were terrifying!

Nearly 800,000 health.

That's the standard for mid-stage of second revolution.

Both attack stats were a million.

That's the standard for peak of second revolution!

And then, he had unparalleled speed.

That's why Lin Chen was confident that he could fight Huo Zhijin.

Huo Zhijin!

Peak of second revolution.

Peak of the Divine Disciple Realm!

In the entire Zhenhai Province, perhaps only Jin Qiang, who had experienced the trials of the Imperial Battlefield, could compare with him.

And now...

A person at the mid-stage of first revolution actually roared, holding a long sword, and rushed towards him.

"Huo Zhijin, today I, Lin Chen, will fight you to the death!"

Lin Chen shouted.

Sword energy surrounded him, cutting Huo Zhijin's fire dragon all the way, forcibly cutting a huge fire dragon into countless pieces, which were then swallowed and extinguished one by one by the Azure Dragon's water dragon.

Lin Chen himself continued to rush into the sky.

Until, he flew three thousand meters above the ground!

Three thousand sword energies also emerged from Lin Chen's body.

Silhouettes crisscrossed.

A cold light flashed.

"Just you?"

Huo Zhijin snorted coldly, his expression with seven parts indifference, and three parts disdain, his tone stern: "Do you think that if you can kill Huo Zhili, you can also kill this Marquis? Heh heh, you actually dare to leave the range of the God-Slaying Formation... Lin Chen, today is your death day!"

He let out a long roar.

Behind him, a Qilin (mythical Chinese creature) dharma form suddenly appeared.

The Qilin was bathed in flames.

"The Qilin's fire, always with me!"

Huo Zhijin uttered a word, and the Qilin's fire burned fiercely. The color of the flame on his palm also turned dark red, as if it could burn everything in time!

Immediately afterwards, Huo Zhijin struck out with a palm.

Heat waves soared to the sky!

The dark red flames roared towards Lin Chen like a tiger.

It looked like it was going to engulf Lin Chen entirely!

Boom!

The flame was expanding rapidly.

Lin Chen was completely wrapped in the flames.

"Haha..."

Huo Zhijin laughed: "Your sword is nothing more than this."

At this time, the people watching on the airship also laughed.

Lin Chen was swallowed by the flames.

This was the Qilin's fire!

It was also one of Huo Zhijin's forbidden spells, one of his ultimate moves.

Being surrounded and swallowed by the Qilin's fire, how could he still be alive?

It would only take a moment to turn someone into ashes!

"City Lord Lin... alas, what a pity!"

Winter, who had come back to his senses, happened to see this scene.

Then, he shook his head.

"No, Boss!" Zhang Chunlin's eyes were tearing apart when he saw this scene, and he gritted his teeth!

It wasn't just him.

Bai Shuyi and Ling Xiaoya couldn't help but hug Liu Mengyao's arms...

"Mengyao, Lin Chen, he..."

"Why is the City Lord doing this! That's a powerhouse at the peak of second revolution..."

"Lin Chen..."

Tears fell from Liu Mengyao's beautiful eyes.

Lin Chen... was likely doomed.

"The Sword Master is fine."

Jian Nishang spoke up.

Everyone looked at her together.

Seeing everyone's questioning eyes, Jian Nishang explained, "I am the Sword Master's sword attendant. If something happens to the Sword Master, I can sense it... But what I sense is that the Sword Master is very well."

"What's going on? Is this true or false!"

Winter showed an unbelievable expression.

"Could it be... the Vermilion Bird?" Bai Shuyi suddenly said.

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear bird cry came from above the sky: Bi~

The raging flames surrounding Lin Chen were moving violently towards the center, and they were shrinking smaller and smaller, as if some force was devouring the Qilin's fire...

"It's really the Vermilion Bird!"

Liu Mengyao turned her worries into joy, and asked, "What's going on!"

Bai Shuyi smiled: "Mengyao, you don't understand this, do you? In our ancient mythology, the Vermilion Bird is the god in charge of fire, controlling the most powerful fire seed, the Southern Vermilion Fire. Although the Qilin is also a divine beast, it is an auspicious beast, and not a fire deity. This Fire Qilin is just one of the variants of the Qilin. Think about it, an auspicious beast that is not good at using fire is playing with fire in front of a god. Isn't this like showing off one's axe before Lu Ban?"

After Bai Shuyi's explanation, everyone understood everything.

However, when the flame became smaller and smaller, and Lin Chen's head finally appeared above the flame, everyone found that Lin Chen was not unscathed at this time, and there were two burns on his cheeks.

Lin Chen was still injured.

But at this time, the sword energy around Lin Chen was also re-condensing.

Moreover, it was back to around three thousand.

"Sword One, Myriad Qi Generate!"

"Swords, come!"

Lin Chen roared twice in a row.

At this moment, six or seven thousand swords in Tianyue City flew into the sky, forming a flying sword dragon with Lin Chen as the target. These flying swords finally gathered above Lin Chen's head...

A huge sword stood upside down in the sky.

"Go to hell!"

Lin Chen shouted.

The hundred-meter giant sword slashed towards Huo Zhijin.

The speed of the giant sword was not fast.

Everything along the way, including the Qilin's fire and even the air, was cut away by this sword. The huge vacuum suction force also pulled everything in front of and on both sides of the giant sword towards the place where the giant sword fell.

This was a sword that locked onto its target!

An incomparably powerful sword!

A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill appears clumsy.

Not with skill.

But...

Destroy everything!

Faced with Lin Chen's move, Myriad Swords Return to Ruin, Huo Zhijin felt that he couldn't resist it head-on.

He subconsciously wanted to dodge.

However, as soon as he moved, the giant sword shifted a few points.

The speed at which the giant sword fell was not fast.

This was simply torturing people!

Either, give him a quick death.

Or just let it fall directly so it can be dodged...

Can't you just lock onto the target like this, and then slowly slash down?

Obviously, no!

This was a sword of destruction.

Under this sword, you either endure it.

Or, you escape.

However, everything you pass through as you escape will be destroyed!

Even Huo Zhijin didn't dare to take this sword head-on, so who else would dare?

When Huo Zhijin retreated, the marquises on the airship who were still laughing wildly changed their expressions drastically and fled long ago. Now, only the people of the Huo family were on the airship.

"Form the formation!"

Huo Zhijin said.

Everyone worked together and immediately formed a formation.

The Heaven-Burning Fire Array!

This was a formation of the Huo family that used human figures as formation flags.

The power was around level six.

Huo Zhijin hid under the airship.

He was going to sacrifice the Huo family's airship and the lives of hundreds of people on the airship to fight against Lin Chen's sword.

"斩!" (Zhan - Cut!)

Lin Chen raised his arm high in the distance.

Then, he quickly slashed down!

Boom!

The hundred-meter giant sword suddenly accelerated at this time.

It slashed down.

Bang~

The huge sound was like a thunderstorm.

The airship was blown up by the sword!

At the same time, the Heaven-Burning Fire Array was also destroyed by the sword.

The people on the airship were all blown away by the explosion.

However, the sword continued to slash towards Huo Zhijin...

"Forbidden spell, Wrath of the Fire God!"

Huo Zhijin also gained some time to breathe. He used the lives of the airship and countless Huo family offerings and disciples in exchange for a few critical seconds to chant the forbidden spell. When he opened his eyes again, his whole body was on fire.

At this moment, he was like a fire man.

No...

He was like the god of fire, descending upon the world.

Huo Zhijin held up one of his palms.

From his body, a dharma form of the Fire God suddenly flashed out, raised his left hand high, and pinched it towards the giant sword.

Bang bang bang~

The giant sword continued to slash down.

Two forces collided, and several explosions occurred instantly.

For a time, people couldn't see Huo Zhijin clearly.

Until after the explosion, Huo Zhijin spat out a mouthful of blood essence. When he looked at others again, his left arm had disappeared...

Lin Chen's sword had actually cut off Huo Zhijin's left arm!

And more than that.

The giant sword also destroyed Huo Zhijin's Fire God dharma form!

What terrifying power was this?

In the "New World" online game, because it was a fully immersive virtual reality game, it was inevitable that there would be moments when two skills attacked each other in PK. At this time, the strength of the skills would be calculated according to the total damage of both sides' attacks.

The side with the higher damage would directly devour or offset the skill with the lower damage.

At the same time, the skill with the higher damage would also have some of its damage offset.

So this time, the collision between the giant sword of Myriad Swords Return to Ruin and Huo Zhijin's Fire God dharma form was actually a victory for Myriad Swords Return to Ruin...

In the end, when the giant sword destroyed the Fire God dharma form, it also cut off Huo Zhijin's left arm that he had raised!

Huo Zhijin's health instantly dropped to 50%!

He possessed the Fire Qilin bloodline.

Moreover, the awakened bloodline attribute was also the best one.

His health was permanently increased by 30%, and his affinity and control over fire-based techniques were increased by more than 50%. Therefore, Huo Zhijin's health exceeded one million.

He also had very high defense!

Part of it came from equipment armor.

All of them were seven-star or eight-star excellent items.

In addition, the Fire Qilin bloodline also provided a 10% defense bonus.

With his defense, he could withstand a million attacks.

But...

He couldn't defend against Lin Chen's sword!

When did a person at the mid-stage of first revolution cut off nearly 700,000 of Huo Zhijin's health with one sword?

Huo Zhijin raised his head, his voice cold: "Lin Chen, if I, Huo Zhijin, don't destroy you and slaughter the entire Tianyue City today, I swear I won't be human!"

Huo Zhijin was angry.

There was no longer the composure he had before.

Only because Lin Chen's sword was too powerful!

But precisely because it was so powerful, the price of using this sword was also great!

Huo Zhijin knew that Lin Chen should have no more tricks up his sleeve.

Moreover, Lin Chen had actually been burned by the Qilin's fire for more than 400,000 health, but because three pets shared the damage, Lin Chen only lost a little over 100,000 health.

Of course, the damage of the Qilin's fire was not so low.

What's more, it was Huo Zhijin's forbidden spell!

However, the damage was absorbed by the Vermilion Bird.

Even the Vermilion Bird's level had been raised to the mid-stage of first revolution!

Although, when the pet was in the possessed state, the possessed pet could share the experience points of all the characters or monsters killed by the master, Lin Chen's advancement to the mid-stage of first revolution was actually more due to the experience given by the stone statue figures in the Sword Tomb.

Pets could not share this kind of experience.

Of course, the experience needed for pets to level up was not as much as that needed for characters.

Therefore, pets often leveled up faster than their masters.

But there was also a limit.

The pet's level could not exceed the master's level by more than five levels.

At this time, the Vermilion Bird had only been raised to the mid-stage of first revolution, but it could no longer gain experience.

Lin Chen had never released the possessed state.

At this time, he was facing the angry and aggressive Huo Zhijin, and he was also a little depressed... Huo Zhijin was too powerful!

He had killed Wu Xingtian with this sword!

However, he could only cut off about half of Huo Zhijin's health.

At this time, Lin Chen's magic points were empty.

What should he do?

He could only run!

Back to Tianyue City!

It seemed that Lin Chen had underestimated Huo Zhijin's strength.

He originally thought that he could kill Huo Zhili without using Myriad Swords Return to Ruin. Then, if he used Myriad Swords Return to Ruin, he would definitely be able to kill Huo Zhijin, but now it seemed that he was taking things for granted.

Huo Zhili was not that strong.

Huo Zhijin was not that weak.

However, although he failed to kill Huo Zhijin with one sword, it was still a remarkable feat to cut off his left arm.

Why was Huo Zhijin angry?

Not only because his left arm had been cut off.

It was also because he was Huo Zhijin!

He was the Flame Marquis with the highest status in the entire Zhenhai Province!

Now, he had actually had his left arm cut off by a small city lord, a weakling at the mid-stage of first revolution?

This was humiliation!

It was even more of a disgrace!

The angry Huo Zhijin only knew that Lin Chen could not use any skills now.

Therefore, when he saw Lin Chen running away, he immediately chased after him.

However, with Lin Chen's speed, descending two thousand meters was only a matter of a second.

Lin Chen was fast and was about to land in Tianyue City.

At this time, Huo Zhijin descended at full speed.

He didn't care about the God-Slaying Formation, he just wanted to kill Lin Chen!

"Lin Chen, you die for me!"

Huo Zhijin was roaring.

At this time, his face was extremely ferocious.

"Lin Chen, I'll heal your magic points!"

Liu Mengyao said.

However, the range of her skills was obviously not that far, several hundred meters away.

So Liu Mengyao shouted, "Come down a little more."

"I think, there's no need."

Lin Chen was standing in place at this time.

Behind him, there was a dragon roar.

The Azure Dragon spiraled over.

"God-Slaying Formation, activate!"

"I designate... God-Slaying!"

Lin Chen activated the God-Slaying Formation.

At the same time, he also gave the mark to Huo Zhijin, who was falling towards him.

Then, the God-Slaying Strike rose from the ground!

Boom!

At that moment, the sky changed color.

Black clouds pressed down on the city.

Lightning intertwined!

Above Tianyue City, a huge divine sword appeared once again.

A sword, slashed down on the sky.

This sword had Lin Chen, the master of the formation at the mid-stage of first revolution, as a strong attribute bonus.

In addition, there was also the attribute bonus of the formation spirit, the Azure Dragon!

It was even more powerful than the God-Slaying Strike when Lin Chen activated it and killed Demire the last time.

This strike seemed to cut off a section of void.

It also cut off a period of time.

Even more... it cut off a line of vitality!

The vitality that belonged to Huo Zhijin!

The road to rise began with this first step!

Don't worry, the follow-up will not collapse.

Only when the protagonist sweeps through Zhenhai Province can he obtain enough capital to talk to higher levels, and only then can Tianyue City not be besieged.

Then the protagonist can start the universe chapter, right?

(End of chapter)
