Chapter 687 Meeting an opponent in chess

The middle-aged man's aura suddenly surged. A ferocious smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the scene of Lin Chen falling at his feet.

However, Lin Chen did not show any fear. He looked at the middle-aged man coldly and said, "No matter what means you use, you will not escape death today."

As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand again, and a dazzling blade light slashed towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man roared and launched his strongest attack.

The two attacks collided, causing a deafening noise.

The air waves splashed everywhere, and the surrounding trees were shattered to pieces.

When the gust of wind dissipated, the middle-aged man was seen lying on the ground. There was a deep wound on his chest that could be seen to the bone, and blood was constantly gushing out.

He opened his eyes wide, looked at Lin Chen with some reluctance, and finally closed his eyes slowly.

Lin Chen looked at the middle-aged man who fell to the ground, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes. He did not feel excited or thrilled because of defeating his opponent. Instead, he felt a little bored.

For him, the level upgrade has just begun, and such an opponent is not enough to satisfy him.

He put away his sword, turned and left, leaving the middle-aged man's body lying quietly on the ground.

Lin Chen did not stay for too long. He continued to go deeper into the mountains and forests, looking for more elixirs and opportunities.

He knew that only by constantly practicing and improving his own strength could he gain a foothold in this world.

A few days later, Lin Chen came to a deep valley. The atmosphere here was much stronger than other places, as if some mysterious power was nurturing.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him. He could clearly sense that there were many precious spiritual medicines and spiritual beasts in this valley.

He moved forward cautiously, afraid of alarming the beings in the valley.

However, just as he was about to approach a bush of spiritual herbs, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the side and pounced towards him.

The young man in white heard this and his face darkened. He didn't expect that this ordinary-looking young man would dare to snatch things from him, and he said it so confidently.

"Okay, very good!" The young man in white sneered, "Since you say so, let's each rely on our own abilities."

As he spoke, he moved and rushed towards the medicinal herbs. His speed was so fast that it was like a bolt of white lightning cutting through the valley.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was not willing to be outdone. He moved and followed closely behind the young man in white.

The two rushed towards the medicinal herbs bush, one in front and one behind. Their speed was so fast that it was like two meteors streaking across the sky.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of the spiritual medicine bush, and saw that those spiritual medicines exuded a rich aroma, and each plant was flashing colorful light, as if some mysterious power was flowing through them.

Lin Chen and the young man in white were both extremely envious. They attacked almost at the same time and reached for the medicinal herbs bush.

However, at this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the bushes of spiritual herbs, and then a huge figure rushed out from the bushes and stood in front of the two of them.

This is a huge spiritual beast, covered with golden scales, with fierce light flashing in its eyes. Its aura is much stronger than the previous black-scaled python. It is obviously an extremely powerful spiritual beast.

Both of them were shocked. They didn't expect that this patch of spiritual medicine was guarded by a spiritual beast.

The attacks of the two men landed on the spirit beast, but only sparked a burst of golden sparks, unable to hurt it at all.

The spirit beast let out a mocking roar, then opened its bloody mouth and spewed a golden flame towards the two of them.

The flame was so hot that it seemed to be able to melt everything. Lin Chen and the young man in white were both shocked. They did not expect that this spirit beast could actually use fire attacks.

They dodged hurriedly, but the flames were so fast that they soon caught up with them. The two had no choice but to use all their spiritual power to form a protective light shield to block the flame attack.

However, the power of the flames was so great that even with the protection of the protective light shield, the two still felt a burst of hot breath coming towards them, as if it was going to singe their skin.

At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly felt a powerful force surging in his body. This force came from his awakened Xuanwu power. It seemed to have endless energy, which made Lin Chen feel a surge of emotion.

He took a deep breath, concentrated the power of Xuanwu into his fist, and then punched the flame fiercely.

With a loud bang, Lin Chen's fist and the flame collided with each other. Suddenly, a powerful air wave spread out, blowing the surrounding trees to and fro.

The flames were actually blasted apart by Lin Chen's fist, and golden sparks flew everywhere, looking extremely spectacular.

When the young man in white saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that this seemingly ordinary young man could actually blast away the fire attack of the spirit beast.

The spirit beast was also surprised. It didn't expect that its fire attack would be blown away by a human being. It let out an angry roar, seeming to be extremely angry at Lin Chen's behavior.

At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly moved and rushed towards the spirit beast. His speed was so fast, like a black lightning across the sky.

Seeing this, the spirit beast was unwilling to be outdone. It opened its mouth wide, ready to spit out flames again, but Lin Chen was one step faster than it.

His figure appeared above the spirit beast like a ghost, and then he punched the spirit beast's head hard.

With this punch, he mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, as well as the newly awakened power of the Black Tortoise. There seemed to be a mysterious force flowing through his fist, which doubled the power of this punch.

With a loud bang, Lin Chen's fist hit the spirit beast's head hard. Suddenly, the spirit beast let out a shrill scream and its whole body began to tremble.

Its head was dented by Lin Chen's punch, and blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, looking extremely tragic.

The huge body of the spirit beast fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust. Its eyes were still wide open, as if it could not believe until its death that it could be killed by a single punch from a human.

Lin Chen landed on the ground, relaxed and at ease. Although his fist was still trembling slightly, it was obvious that the punch just now had consumed a lot of his strength.

However, a smug smile appeared on his face. He had successfully killed the spiritual beast, thus removing a major obstacle in the fight for the spiritual medicine.

The young man in white looked at the spirit beast lying on the ground, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

However, he was not afraid of this. Instead, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes. Such a person might become a good opponent.

“Boy, you are pretty good.” The young man in white looked at Lin Chen and said lightly, “But this does not mean that you can get these spiritual medicines.”
