CHAPTER 1594: CHAPTER 1593: LIN CHEN’S METHODS

Seeing this scene, Xu Yufang and the others were instantly astonished.

They never expected that Zi Ling’s combat power would be so formidable.

Except for Xu Yufang, who knew her, the other six people had no idea about Zi Ling, so naturally, they were unaware that Zi Ling was infamous for her violent reputation in the Outer Sect.

Di Feng actually dared to flirt with Zi Ling; he must have been tired of living.

Even Xu Yufang’s understanding of Zi Ling stopped at twenty years ago.

Back then, Zi Ling was only a martial artist who had just entered the Nirvana Realm, so she was naturally not taken seriously by Xu Yufang.

But now, twenty years later, who could have foreseen that Zi Ling had grown to such a realm and possessed such terrifying combat power?

Just from that punch from Zi Ling earlier, it wasn’t hard to see that she had long been qualified to attempt the Cloud Sea Trial, and becoming an Inner Sect disciple was almost a certainty.

And judging from Zi Ling’s punch earlier, her strength was even more powerful than those at the early stage of the Creation Realm like Gu Zixuan.

"Junior Sister Zi Ling indeed has a good hand, but it seems Senior Brother I misjudged. But even if Junior Sister Zi Ling has such strong combat power, she still won’t be a match for Boss Deng and the others alone. Opposing them won’t end well; Junior Sister should surrender."

Gu Zixuan looked at Zi Ling and said calmly, as if offering well-intentioned advice.

To this, Lin Chen completely ignored it.

"Men, capture them for me, and take that woman alive. I want her to know that the consequence of offending Boss Deng is to wish for neither life nor death. When I eat, let the men drink the soup and have a little fun."

The bearded man stared at Zi Ling and ordered his subordinates.

Hearing this, the bandits, as if injected with adrenaline, immediately charged towards Lin Chen and Zi Ling and the others.

Among the martial artists charging in this time, there were eight or nine, and even included a Creation Realm Third Layer expert.

With such a powerful lineup, not to mention Zi Ling, even Xu Yufang and the others probably couldn’t withstand it.

No matter how you look at it, even if Zi Ling’s combat power was against heaven, it would be difficult to escape unharmed from these bandits.

Seeing those bandits charging over, Zi Ling felt immense pressure.

If facing one or two bandits, she might still have some confidence, but now, facing so many enemies, she felt utterly hopeless.

Immediately, Zi Ling looked towards Lin Chen. If Lin Chen couldn’t handle the situation, they might be in for a hard time.

However, at this moment, facing such a large number of charging bandits, Lin Chen still maintained an indifferent and unconcerned demeanor.

This immediately displeased the gray-robed man on Gu Zixuan’s side, feeling that Lin Chen was just putting on a show.

"Hmph, facing death, yet still pretending; I want to see how long you can keep it up."

Seeing Lin Chen’s calm and unfazed look, the man coldly shouted.

However, Lin Chen’s calm demeanor was destined to disappoint him.

Lin Chen suddenly made a seal decision with his hand, then pointed with a finger.

"Activate!"

Lin Chen’s light shout echoed, and just as the words fell, a loud "buzz" rang out from the flying boat they were on.

Immediately, a golden light curtain appeared around the flying boat, forming a golden barrier that shielded them all.

As the barrier formed, the golden light on it shot out over a dozen golden cords, instantly entangling the charging martial artists, quickly subduing them, making them unable to move.

With the appearance of the golden light curtain, Lin Chen and the others gained a solid shield, preventing the bandits from approaching.

"Gu Zixuan, what is the meaning of this?"

Seeing this scene, the bearded man’s face changed dramatically, becoming extremely furious, and he shouted at Gu Zixuan, questioning him.

In his view, this sudden change on Gu Zixuan and the others’ flying boat must have been caused by Gu Zixuan activating the boat’s defense array.

Moreover, he didn’t expect that the flying boat not only had a defensive array but also came with attack methods.

Those bandits caught by the cords were now incapacitated, losing even the ability to move freely.

Gu Zixuan, looking at the scene unfolding before him, was utterly bewildered, because this was not his doing at all.

The flying boat was theirs, so naturally, he knew it well; the boat didn’t possess such a powerful defensive array, only a simple defensive array. It was hard to say whether it could withstand attacks from a Nirvana Realm expert, let alone a Creation Realm one.

Furthermore, this flying boat had no means of attack, so what was the deal with these cords?

"I did not activate these formations."

Gu Zixuan opened his mouth to explain to the angry bearded man. He was really afraid Boss Deng would think it was his doing; if such a misunderstanding arose, it would lead to a big problem, especially if Boss Deng decided to target them as well. That would be disastrous.
