Chapter 2246: Chapter 2247: Dementia
Anyone could see that Lin Chen was not himself at the moment. He seemed more like a mindless killing machine, a sight so terrifying that it made Sun Tianming extremely uneasy. Despite Lin Chen’s frightening appearance, Sun Tianming still stood in front of him.
Even though Sun Tianming was somewhat prepared, he couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw Lin Chen’s condition.
At this moment, Lin Chen was almost unrecognizable as a human, for his entire body seemed covered in blood threads that had replaced the original blackness after Kong Jingyi’s death.
These blood threads appeared to burst from Lin Chen’s body, seeping from his pores, forming blood beads that permeated his body, making him look like a blood man!
"Lin Chen, wake up!"
Despite his shock, Sun Tianming put his hands on both of Lin Chen’s shoulders, shaking them with the power in his hands, attempting to shake Lin Chen out of his state.
With a loud bang!
Without Lin Chen intentionally moving, Sun Tianming’s hands were merely placed in front of Lin Chen, yet a huge force emanated from Lin Chen, sending Sun Tianming’s body flying, causing him to crash into a stone pillar behind him with a resounding thud.
The sound reverberated as Sun Tianming was embedded in the structure, uttering a muffled groan, his stomach churning violently, and he spat out a streak of crimson.
"Ah..."
Whether it was Sun Tianming’s provocation, or Lin Chen’s guilt from hurting Sun Tianming, Lin Chen suddenly clasped his hands over his head, crouching down on the ground.
His screams poured from his throat, piercing and full of agony.
"Lin Chen, Sun Tianming!"
Amidst such upheaval, Chen Jie was intensely anxious, shouting twice while pacing back and forth in confusion, uncertain of whom she should approach.
...
Meanwhile, within Lin Chen’s consciousness, his originally restored sea of awareness began to churn. The injuries previously inflicted by the mysterious figure in the underground palace had not fully healed, leaving lingering black energy, which now permeated his sea of awareness.
These sinister energies were originally dormant here. Although Lin Chen felt uneasy, these energies didn’t harm his physical self.
However, this fragile peace was utterly shattered by Kong Jingyi’s needle strike just moments ago.
Though it was a mere silver needle, it contained overwhelmingly concentrated dark energy. Upon entering Lin Chen’s body, he felt waves of pain spreading from his chest, forcing him to crouch down immediately to alleviate the suffering.
Yet within moments, the dark energy infused in the needle resonated with the energies within Lin Chen’s sea of awareness. In this situation, the originally dormant dark energies seemed guided, surging in Lin Chen’s sea of awareness, seizing control and pushing Lin Chen’s consciousness aside while manipulating Lin Chen’s body.
This led to the scene just witnessed.
And now, due to Sun Tianming’s intervention, those black energies showed signs of instability. Especially after Sun Tianming was injured, these signs became more prominent, allowing Lin Chen’s consciousness to fight against the sinister energies.
This confrontation intensified the turmoil in his barely repaired awareness sea, causing him to clutch his head in agony.
"A good opportunity!"
From a distance, Tao Yuyu observed this critical moment, his eyes gleaming sharply. He stealthily advanced behind Lin Chen, from his sleeve emerging a flash of cold light.
With Sun Tianming injured, Lin Chen’s consciousness unclear, and Chen Jie being inherently frail and unable to match Tao Yuyu’s physical prowess, this was a massive opportunity for Tao Yuyu—a chance to easily eliminate Lin Chen.
Otherwise, under the strange rule that prevents using Spiritual Energy here, it remains uncertain who will prevail.
"What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in Tao Yuyu’s path, blocking his advance. The figure’s expression was stern, appearing slender but the look in his eyes towards Tao Yuyu showed no sign of weakness, carrying a hint of vigilance.
"Are you trying to play the hero?"
Tao Yuyu paused, his face colored with displeasure as he looked at the figure blocking him.
This person clearly wasn’t a friend of Lin Chen’s. The Azure Dragon Society wielded substantial influence, with many ears and eyes within the sect, yet he had never before heard of the person standing before him.
"If I want to play the hero, what of it!"
The man boldly patted his chest with utter disdain, saying, "I’ve been displeased with you people from Azure Dragon Society for quite some time."
"Heh, you clearly don’t understand the consequences of offending the Azure Dragon Society."
Tao Yuyu’s face bore a threatening expression as he resumed his slow advance forward. This rare opportunity was something he wasn’t willing to let slip away.
"If it weren’t for his warning, I’d be dead by now. I’m not scared of you."
The man retorted with even greater disdain, saying that he had almost run out of luck while confronting the Spiritual Body if not for Lin Chen’s timely warning that pulled him back from the brink of death.
"Good, good, you’re brave!"
Tao Yuyu squinted through the menacing glare, taking another step forward, laughing loudly, his anger apparent. Within the Green Ripple Sect, he had never met anyone unafraid of the Azure Dragon.
"But, do you think that you alone can stop me?!"
With disdain ringing from Tao Yuyu’s voice, his figure flickered, toes lightly tapping the ground, propelling his form like a specter.
In his path, three to four phantom images emerged swiftly, drifting in different directions towards Lin Chen behind the man.
"Shadow Concealing Step!"
The man was startled, having heard of Tao Yuyu from the Azure Dragon Society, renowned for his profound skill, especially with that menacing footwork.
Witnessing it now heightened the man’s alarm. Azure Dragon Society members, despite their arrogance, undeniably possessed substantial prowess.
The man stepped forward, launching a rapid flurry of punches, seemingly unimpressive but extraordinarily fast, like raindrops.
As the man shifted his steps, his punches quickly struck towards the phantom images!
When the punches nearly connected with Tao Yuyu’s phantoms, the shadows vanished swiftly upon impact, as if they never existed.
