Chapter 2244: 2245: Kong Jingyi's Methods

Kong Jingyi's expression changed drastically; he couldn't fathom Lin Chen's decisiveness. Shocked, he quickly reacted. At this moment, he faced only Lin Chen. Though Kong Jingyi was in a poor state, his face still showed traces of fear, but when Lin Chen attacked, he swiftly wielded the longspear.

The cold light surged along the spear shaft, and with his maneuvering, it formed a dense spear net before him. The cold light at the spear's tip emitted a chilling aura, swinging toward Lin Chen's fleeting shadow.

Kong Jingyi retreated with the spear net, and the figures initially behind him moved back as he stepped away, not daring to approach.

These people weren't Lin Chen; they dared not easily confront the Azure Dragon Society. However, in their hearts, Lin Chen's actions were quite pleasing to them.

After all, Lin Chen was doing things they dared not do, causing some of them to clench their fists, the strength from their fists seemingly cheering for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, at this moment, paid no attention to the situation behind him; his eyes only held Kong Jingyi before him.

The Tianyan Ancient Sword held in Lin Chen's hand seemed to transform into a thread, swaying in his hand, leaving only a glimpse of light and shadow.

This fleeting light clashed with the spear blade of Kong Jingyi, the sound of metal clashing echoing continuously, resonating within the hall.

"He's incredibly strong!"

"No kidding, do you even know who he is? Previously, he alone killed many from the Azure Dragon Society."

During their fight, murmurs occasionally arose from the crowd, as they gasped, hissing sounds occasionally escaping.

They had witnessed Kong Jingyi's strength many times, but had only heard rumors of Lin Chen, not witnessing the slaughtering of Azure Dragon Society members firsthand.

Seeing it now, they had a different sensation.

This sensation caused them secretly marvel in their hearts.

"Such a hateful brat!"

In the distance, Tao Yuyu was also clenching his teeth, watching Lin Chen with fury in his eyes. If his strength had fully recovered, and he dared to use Spiritual Energy, it wouldn't make him so uncomfortable.

Now, he could only watch the battle from the sidelines.

Lin Chen was still as bold and vigorous as before, his sword striking the spear blade, hitting back and forth; Kong Jingyi appeared much more battered.

His arm felt like lead, powerless under Lin Chen's blows. The initially wielded longspear slowed down due to such fatigue.

Were it not for Ning Qiuyu's intervention behind him, Lin Chen would likely have already bypassed the spear net and pointed his sword at the throat.

Even so, his body was slashed open, red blood staining his filthy azure robe.

"Ah! Damn it! Enough bullying, I'll fight you to the death!"

Being hit again, Kong Jingyi was evidently enraged, roaring up, his momentum growing.

Holding the longspear, his wrist turned, the spear halted, its end firmly gripped in Kong Jingyi's hand, while the spear tip pointed at Lin Chen.

"Go!"

After Kong Jingyi's roar, he stepped forward, unleashing a powerful aura, startling those around.

At this moment, Kong Jingyi seemed slightly different from the previous state; he charged forward with the spear, the few inches of blade facing Lin Chen's sword without losing momentum.

In their clash, dazzling sparks erupted.

But only for a moment, Kong Jingyi's spear spun, its side thrusting, the spearhead shooting out something akin to a silver needle with incredible speed, like a flash of light, targeting Lin Chen's chest!

"Trap him!"

With the sudden appearance of this chilling light, Kong Jingyi shouted to warn Ning Qiuyu.

At this time, Ning Qiuyu already showed fatigue; to him, Lin Chen seemed as nimble as a monkey, while Ning Qiuyu evidently wasn't skilled in speed. Thus, after trailing Lin Chen for a while, signs of energy deficiency began to show.

But now, with Kong Jingyi's shift in tactics, Lin Chen's body slightly paused.

Even without Kong Jingyi's reminder, Ning Qiuyu knew what to do.

Before Kong Jingyi's voice faded, Ning Qiuyu flashed behind Lin Chen; the two were front and rear, the former tangled with Lin Chen, while the latter intended to trap him.

Lin Chen's pupils narrowed, seeing a silver needle fly from the spear tip, his lips curling into a cold smile. In such a critical moment, Lin Chen unbelievably had time to glance at Kong Jingyi. This sudden light was clearly a technique used by the magical sect!

"Indeed, there's hidden dwellers here, not just one from the magical sect." Lin Chen thought with a cold smile.

He lowered his body, withdrawing the longsword in his hand.

Suddenly, he felt a strong force in his arm, squeezing his arm toward his body like an iron clamp. Then, his body was unexpectedly lifted, directly facing the speeding silver needle!

Ning Qiuyu hurried from behind, catching Lin Chen off guard, lifting him up.

With a hiss, the silver needle pierced Lin Chen's body. At this moment, he was like a target, shot directly!

Kong Jingyi and Ning Qiuyu behind Lin Chen both showed smiles with the attack.

But in the next moment, Ning Qiuyu's smile abruptly stiffened, his arms like clamps slowly released Lin Chen, then lowered his head slightly, eyes filled with shock, looking at the half-inserted silver needle in his body.

"You..."

He looked at Kong Jingyi incredulously, seemingly unable to believe.

"I have the antidote here, don't worry!"

Kong Jingyi seemed to have anticipated this result, quickly assuring Ning Qiuyu.

As long as they defeated Lin Chen, dealing with these injuries wouldn't be troublesome for Kong Jingyi.

But such thoughts paused upon encountering Lin Chen's current state.

Lin Chen had been pierced by the silver needle, half-kneeling, yet now, he slowly straightened up, though moving stiffly. After several moments, Lin Chen stood, looking directly at Kong Jingyi.

His eyes were like a pitch-black abyss, emitting a sinister aura.
