Chapter 285 Establishing Authority

"Not good! Elders, be extremely careful with this move!"

"The Supreme Elder died from this very move!"

Seeing Lin Chen unleash the immensely powerful sword technique again, a group of Blazing Fire Sect elders shrank back in fear.

They had already heard of the move's fearsome reputation from the Twelfth Elder.

The former Supreme Elder, Wu Quangu, had met his demise precisely because he bore the brunt of this attack!

Even a half-step Nascent Soul realm powerhouse perished from this move, let alone them, who were merely at the late stage of Core Formation.

"You are absolutely right. My spiritual energy is insufficient; it is only enough for one more sword technique."

"But I would like to ask which one of you is willing to be the first to face it?"

As he spoke, Lin Chen produced three Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills and swallowed them directly.

"What is going on? How does he still have so many pills?"

Upon witnessing Lin Chen swallow another three Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills, the assembled cultivators were dumbfounded, their faces etched with disbelief.

If Zhao Heng swallowing three pills initially could be attributed to a life-saving measure, then Lin Chen, when they merely wished to escape, was consuming pills without hesitation.

To replenish his spiritual energy!

This was enough to indicate that Lin Chen definitely possessed more than just these pills.

These Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills were indeed priceless treasures in their eyes, yet judging by Lin Chen's current demeanor, they seemed to be nothing at all to him.

"Sect Master, wait for us!"

Before everyone else could react, Wu Long and Wu Hu hurried to catch up with Wu Zhixiong.

Wu Zhixiong had personally promised them he would bring them along to leave this place.

To their surprise, after Wu Zhixiong secretly breached the formation, he didn't give them, the two brothers, any time to react and fled alone!

"Scoundrels! Don't follow me! Block Lin Chen properly!"

Seeing Wu Long and Wu Hu closing in, Wu Zhixiong was startled.

Initially, he thought Lin Chen's spiritual energy was almost depleted, which was why he agreed to bring the two brothers along.

But to his astonishment, Lin Chen's storage bag now contained such a vast quantity of pills, as if he were casually munching on them like candies!

Such an individual was absolutely not someone the Blazing Fire Sect could afford to offend in their current state!

A mere cultivator at the middle stage of Core Formation, who could consume six Grade Three Spirit Replenishing Pills in quick succession without even flinching.

Did one need to guess the extent of the power behind him?

What a pity for his subordinates, these scoundrels, who, at this juncture, still intended to make an enemy of Lin Chen. Was this not deliberately seeking death?

Unless they could kill everyone present here today, if anything were to happen to Lin Chen and that Zhang Ying, how could their backing power possibly let them off easily?

The only way to preserve their own lives now was to flee this place as quickly as possible!

"Sect Master, didn't you say you would take us with you?"

Seeing Wu Zhixiong turning his back on them, Wu Long and Wu Hu were also stunned.

Just a moment ago, Wu Zhixiong had been earnestly vowing that he would lead them away.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, his expression had completely changed.

The speed of this shift was faster than any Sichuan Opera face-changing performance.

"Scoundrel! Blazing Fire Cloak, take this!"

Seeing that Wu Long and Wu Hu refused to give up and were still pursuing him, Wu Zhixiong, with no other choice, unleashed the cloak from his back, directly trapping the two within the formation.

He knew that Lin Chen and Zhang Ying would definitely take some effort to deal with the cultivators within the formation.

Especially the Wu Long and Wu Hu brothers, whose cultivation was already formidable. Moreover, having grown up together since childhood, they possessed a telepathic connection, making their combat prowess significantly stronger than ordinary cultivators.

It wouldn't be easy for Lin Chen to kill them!

This would give him ample time to escape from here.

"Wu Zhixiong, you scoundrel!"

"We brothers have risked our lives for you, and this is how you treat us!"

Seeing Wu Zhixiong use his Blazing Fire Cloak to block their escape route, Wu Long and Wu Hu became enraged.

Earlier, they had been contemplating sacrificing their lives to cover Wu Zhixiong's escape from the great formation, only to be betrayed in an instant!

For them, if Wu Zhixiong hadn't spoken those words earlier, they might have been able to face death with equanimity.

However, it was precisely because Wu Zhixiong had given them his assurance, promising to take them with him and not betray them, that their current situation felt so unbearable.

Compared to Wu Zhixiong's grand pronouncements just now, the current reality was a silent mockery, making them feel utterly devastated.

All their sacrifices for each other had become a colossal joke.

"Lin Chen, don't hesitate! Deal with those Blazing Fire Sect elders first!"

"These individuals have committed evil deeds; even if you were to subdue them, it would be utterly useless!"

Zhang Ying seized this opportunity, quickly repairing the loopholes in the formation, and then spoke to Lin Chen, reminding him.

She knew that Lin Chen's reason for not striking them down yet was his intention to recruit them for his own use.

Now that the Ghost God Sect had returned to her father's hands, it was precisely when he needed manpower.

If these individuals could be brought into the Ghost God Sect, it would undoubtedly be a significant boost to the sect's strength.

However, based on her understanding of the Blazing Fire Sect during her days in Beichuan,

It could be said that from the Sect Master down to the disciples, there wasn't a single decent person in the Blazing Fire Sect!

They did nothing but bully the weak, never performing any good deeds!

If all these people were to be absorbed into the Ghost God Sect, while it might enhance the sect's strength, the sect's reputation would likely be ruined by these individuals.

Instead of that, it would be better to kill these scoundrels and deliver justice to those outside who had been bullied by the Blazing Fire Sect!

"Alright!"

"Sword Shatters Metal!"

Upon receiving Zhang Ying's reminder, Lin Chen no longer hesitated. He flung his White Dragon Sword into the sky.

"Whoosh!"

With a soft sound, the White Dragon Sword instantly transformed into a giant sword over ten meters long and fiercely smashed down upon the heads of the cultivators within the formation.

"Boom!"

With a resounding crash, seven late-stage Core Formation cultivators perished!

"Gulp..."

Witnessing this scene, Wu Long and Wu Hu couldn't help but swallow hard, their expressions filled with fear.

Seven late-stage Core Formation powerhouses annihilated with a single sword strike!

Although the formation had suppressed their movements, the power of this technique was still incredibly formidable, wasn't it?
