Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 1915 - 1935: This guy is a bit arrogant!_1

"Boom!"

The Water Scale Dragon Ape fell to its knees, shattering the frozen surface beneath it. It was already struggling under intense pressure, and with its heart heavily injured, could it last any longer?

Just as the Water Scale Dragon Ape was about to be crushed to death, Lin Chen suddenly enacted his art spell, and the immense power of the Linglong Tower disappeared. It hovered quietly in midair, as if the devastating suppression it had triggered earlier was just an illusion.

"We have the heart’s blood; let’s spare it."

Having achieved his purpose, Lin Chen had no intention of causing more harm than necessary. He decided to show mercy, sparing its life.

Even though its heart had been pierced, resulting in severe injuries, it was not fatal for a beast as massive and resilient as the Water Scale Dragon Ape.

Seeing Lin Chen’s decision, the merman ceased his freezing of the lake water, and withdrew his trident.

Without support from the spiritual Qi, the ice beneath the Water Scale Dragon Ape shattered, and its mountain-like body slowly began to sink into the water.

Struggling, the Water Scale Dragon Ape raised its head to look at Lin Chen, suspended in mid-air, a hint of confusion in its eyes.

It clearly didn’t understand why he, who could clearly have killed it, had chosen to spare it instead.

The Water Scale Dragon Ape submerged into the water until it was no longer visible. The merman collected his trident and glanced at the Linglong Tower floating in mid-air, undisguised reverence in his eyes.

He well knew the strength of the Water Scale Dragon Ape, but this tower had managed to subdue it in an instant!

If it weren’t for Lin Chen’s decision to hold back, the Water Scale Dragon Ape would probably have been crushed to death.

The merman saluted, "As promised, I have brought you the blood of the Water Scale Dragon Ape."

Lin Chen clearly understood the undertone in the merman’s words. With a wave of his hand, the Linglong Tower flew back and hovered beside him.

"Don’t worry. Since I’ve made a promise, I will fulfill it. If I manage to obtain the Snake Heart Heavenly Fruit, where can I find you?"

The merman replied, "My wife is severely injured and cannot travel far. Additionally, us mermen require a large amount of water. I’ll conceal myself in the deep abyss under these waters while awaiting your return."

Lin Chen, worried, asked, "You had a dispute with them and slaughtered members of the Hundred Monsters Path, they won’t let you go so easily..."

The merman sighed, "We mermen can hide our breath underwater to avoid detection. The water here is bottomless, and leads to unknown locations, it should be enough for my wife and I to hide."

Lin Chen was about to respond when suddenly, dozens of beams of golden light appeared on the horizon. The shining golden beams raced across the human world like flying rainbows, reaching the lake’s surface in an instant and encircling Lin Chen, Master Purple Cloud, and the merman.

A sense of dread rose in Lin Chen’s heart. Those coming meant no good! freeweɓnovel-cøm

The merman’s face paled as he flipped and quickly dived into the water to escape.

There was a harsh voice from the crowd, an old man yelled, "You want to run? Stay!"

A golden light flew out from the old man’s hand, descended into the water, and instantly spread out to become a sheet of glittering golden lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves spread out in the water like a green canopy, completely blocking the merman’s escape route.

The merman lifted his trident, aiming to puncture through the lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves’ golden glow was brilliant, single-handedly blocking the merman’s trident. Meanwhile, several flying swords and magical treasures shot up, aiming at the merman.

The merman was unable to escape, he could only brace for impact.

"Boom!"

Water splashed as the merman was forcefully shocked out of water, once again surrounded by the crowd.

The merman wielded his trident with a fierce look on his face, "Do you really want to wipe me out entirely?"

The old man who had interfered before coldly snorted, "Bold demon, you dare to kill the disciples of Hundred Monster Path. Today, we’ll ensure your soul is destroyed. However, if you surrender, I might be able to spare your life."

The merman sneered, "Cut the dignified bullshit. If you want my life, you’ll have to risk yours. We, the East Sea Mermaid Tribe, have souls that die in battle. We have no one who surrenders!"

"Stubborn fool!"

The old man coldly snorted without immediately attacking, after all, he had used a magical treasure to block the merman’s escape route. The merman was trapped, there was no chance for him to escape.

The old man’s gaze rested on Lin Chen and Master Purple Cloud, and after a glance, he calmly said, "An envoy of the Immortal Palace?"

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over the middle-aged man standing behind the old man. He was the one who had earlier fled, and Lin Chen quickly understood.

He had brought back reinforcements.

Lin Chen was slightly puzzled. Was the headquarters of Hundred Monsters Path nearby? How could he bring back so many reinforcements in such a short time?

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, and you are?"

The old man spoke with calm dignity and veiled arrogance, "Elder Jin Jiujang of the Hundred Monsters Path."

Lin Chen frowned. This guy was rather arrogant.

Being aware that he was an envoy of the Immortal Palace, he didn’t even greet him, let alone his arrogant air. Clearly, he didn’t think much of the Palace’s Special Envoy.

Lin Chen glanced at the trapped merman and smiled, "As far as I know, this merman was only out seeking treatment for his wife and has not offended the Hundred Monsters Path. Why the large-scale siege?"

Jin Jiujang said indifferently, "This is our monster race’s internal affairs. It has nothing to do with humans or the Immortal Palace. If there’s nothing else, I suggest that you leave. I’m afraid if a fight breaks out, you2 might get hurt accidentally..."
