Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3076 - 3096: I... I’m not dead?

Bai Manmei’s face was pale. She looked at Bai Jingtian, who stood not far away with his hands behind his back and a calm demeanor, and pursed her lips without speaking.

Was Bai Jingtian hiding in the shadows to save her, or for the Holy Taoism Ball?

If it was for both, which mattered more?

Bai Jingtian said calmly, "Those things are not important. What’s important is that you are trapped in the Array Formation, with no escape."

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "I may be in the Array Formation, but your daughter is in my hands. How about it, Mr. Bai, are you prepared to exchange a life for a life?"

Bai Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you have entered the Array Formation, there are only two outcomes. First, hand over Manmei’s True Soul and the Holy Taoism Ball, and leave unharmed. Second, you kill her, I kill you, and leave with the Holy Taoism Ball. You must choose one; don’t think that by threatening Manmei’s life, you can threaten me. If that were the case, why would I have bothered creating this Large Array? Would it not have been a waste?"

Lin Chen, unafraid in the slightest, looked at Bai Jingtian with a smile, "What if there’s a third possibility, where you try to kill me, I kill your daughter, but in the end, I’m still perfectly fine, and you don’t get the Holy Taoism Ball?"

Bai Jingtian’s brows furrowed slightly as he stared directly at Lin Chen, trying to discern the truth of Lin Chen’s words and his reliance.

Caught within such a great Array Formation, even a Quasi-Saint would struggle to escape in a short time. Why was Lin Chen so certain that he would be unharmed?

Bai Manmei glanced at the grinning Lin Chen and suddenly thought of the peerlessly beautiful woman who had effortlessly captured the two of them.

She must be beside Lin Chen, right?

With a Quasi-Saint present, even if her adoptive father wanted to kill Lin Chen, it probably wouldn’t be easy.

Bai Manmei didn’t make a sound.

She could have reminded her adoptive father that there was a powerful Quasi-Saint by Lin Chen’s side, but she suddenly lost the desire to speak.

If her adoptive father cared about her, he naturally wouldn’t act. If he didn’t care about her, what would be the point of mentioning it?

She was raised by her adoptive father, and if he had come for the Holy Taoism Ball, then let her die; she wouldn’t trouble him anymore.

The three of them were silently at an impasse for a moment.

Bai Jingtian’s expression was stern, his gaze like lightning. Bai Manmei’s face showed a complex expression, silently not speaking. Lin Chen was all smiles, looking carefree, glancing at Bai Jingtian then at Bai Manmei, brimming with interest, as if he found the current situation amusing.

Bai Jingtian raised his hand, and in response, the stars in the Sky suddenly radiated brilliance, and the pressure within the Array Formation suddenly surged.

Lin Chen’s entire body seemed to be pressed down by a mountain of weight, his bones cracking as if at the next moment, his body would be completely crushed by the terrifying strength.

Lin Chen gasped, "If you want to take action, go ahead. Why the hesitation, like a woman? If you don’t dare to make a move, then dismantle this Array and let me go. Don’t waste time here."

Bai Jingtian turned his head to look at Bai Manmei, "Manmei, what do you say?"

Bai Manmei hung her head low, not meeting his gaze, and said softly, "I have no objections, adoptive father. You can do as you see fit, I... don’t mind."

Bai Jingtian was silent for a few seconds, then turned his gaze back to Lin Chen, "Are you truly not afraid of death?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Who isn’t afraid of death? But the problem is, you can’t kill me. Why should I be afraid?"

Can’t kill him?

Bai Jingtian suddenly felt something, his brow furrowing, "What is your strength?"

Lin Chen cursed, "What does my strength matter to you? If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to kill, then kill. Hey, why do you have so many damn questions?"

Bai Jingtian ignored Lin Chen and turned to look at Bai Manmei, "You should know his strength, right?"

Bai Manmei looked at Bai Jingtian with a strange expression and replied softly, "He seems to be a Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal..."

Bai Jingtian stared at Lin Chen, then suddenly said, "You are not Lin Chen?"

A person’s appearance can be faked, but not their strength.

Bai Jingtian, who controlled the entire Large Array, was very clear about the power of the Array Formation. Although the Array’s current power was indeed substantial, it was not to the extent that a Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal like Lin Chen would be in such a state.

He seemed to have no ability to struggle at all!

Excluding the possibility that Lin Chen was acting, there could only be one explanation - the person in the Array was not Lin Chen!

Why was the person in front of her so composed? Her life was literally in someone else’s hands, and she was about to die any moment, yet he didn’t seem to care at all, which was obviously against common sense.

Lin Chen blinked and said with a laugh, "Don’t talk nonsense. Of course, I am Lin Chen. Don’t believe me? How about I let your daughter explode to prove it?"

Bai Manmei looked at Lin Chen, her face speechless and her eyes filled with reproach.

So while you’re engaging in this battle of wits, I’m the only one who’s unlucky, huh?

Bai Manmei subconsciously thought that Lin Chen’s reliance was the Quasi-Saint inside the Magical Treasure, so she agreed with everything Lin Chen said.

Relying solely on her adoptive father, it was obviously impossible to kill Lin Chen; the only one he could kill was herself.

Bai Jingtian’s expression also became quite subtle; he had never expected the current situation to unfold.

He naturally wouldn’t let Lin Chen actually go through with the proof, but he also refused to submit, insisting on his own death.

If that was the case, then there was only one option left—to take a gamble.

Bai Jingtian raised his hand, and the pressure on Lin Chen decreased significantly.

Lin Chen straightened up: "What, came to your senses, not going to kill me anymore?"

Bai Jingtian coldly said, "I just want to know if you really are Lin Chen..."

Lin Chen was about to speak when the stars in the sky suddenly burst into intense light, and the magnificent spiritual power around Lin Chen suddenly squeezed in on him.

"Bang!"

Bai Manmei’s eyes widened in horror as she watched Lin Chen begin to speak, only for his body to suddenly burst apart, instantly turning into a cloud of blood fog.

It’s finished!

Bai Manmei’s heart skipped a beat, resignedly closing her eyes, waiting for death.

Even though Lin Chen’s death was extremely sudden, could death come faster than his thoughts?

If he was going to die, he would surely destroy her True Soul.

Forget it!

If it’s death, then so be it. Let’s end it all!

It was like returning this body of flesh and blood to her adoptive father.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

Bai Manmei opened her eyes in astonishment, looked down at her body, her eyes full of confusion.

How come she didn’t die?

Did Lin Chen spare her life?

No, that’s not right!

Bai Manmei suddenly came back to her senses. A Quasi-Saint was by Lin Chen’s side; he clearly had the opportunity to summon the Quasi-Saint, but he did nothing. He just provoked Bai Jingtian and was then cleanly killed in the end.

Bai Manmei was smart. She suddenly recalled the "third possibility" that Lin Chen had mentioned earlier.

That’s it, she wasn’t dead, not because Lin Chen had a change of heart and spared her before dying, but because Lin Chen hadn’t died at all!

Her life was still in Lin Chen’s hands, which is why she was still alive now!

That raises the question.

Where is Lin Chen?

And what exactly happened to the Lin Chen who just died?
