Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3747 - 3766: One Against Two

As soon as Lin Chen spoke, the rugged man opposite him changed his expression slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Chen turned back to glance at the gatekeeper standing behind him and said with a smile, "I’m worried that encountering you people is actually part of the trial itself. If I were to leave you for dead and head straight to the so-called open Teleportation Gate, I might miss the opportunity to pass the trial. Wouldn’t I be at a loss then?"

The man sneered, "You must be crazy about passing trials. Since you refuse to leave, I’ll just cut you down along with him."

Lin Chen smiled, "Fine, anyway, there’s a realm suppression in this paradise. No matter how powerful you are, you’re only at the Saint’s Initial Realm here. I’m not afraid of you."

The rugged man laughed heartily, his expression fierce, "Is that so? Then you’d better give it a try and see if I’m really in the Saint’s Initial Realm!"

Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly, his eyes instantly becoming two degrees more serious, and he asked sideways, "Is their strength not restricted?"

The gatekeeper replied with a bitter face, "Yes, their Secret Realm collapsed before, so their strength is no longer suppressed. You must not leave me, or I’ll surely be cut down by him." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Lin Chen asked, "Where’s the Teleportation Gate?"

The gatekeeper pointed to the north, "That way."

Lin Chen replied cleanly and decisively, "I don’t care if you’re real or fake. I just want to pass the trial. Lead the way to the Teleportation Gate, and don’t worry about anything else."

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed without hesitation, "Alright!"

The rugged man opposite laughed grimly, "Since you don’t know what’s good for you, you’ll die with him."

The large black axe in front of the rugged man suddenly flew up and expanded instantaneously, carrying a terrifying force capable of destroying the heavens and earth, slashing down towards Lin Chen.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Chen summoned the Linglong Tower, shielding the gatekeeper.

Lan Shuiying had previously told him casually that each time the trials of the Heavenly God Paradise are different, with various formats, and sometimes it’s not you who seeks out the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper who seeks you. You must discern carefully, and the content of the trial may be hidden within.

Lin Chen indeed couldn’t distinguish whether they were real or faking it, but if he ignored it and let the man hunt and kill the gatekeeper, only to have him "cut down," what would he do if he ran to the north and couldn’t find the Teleportation Gate?

Wouldn’t that mean he failed the trial?

If he faced the man directly and the opponent’s strength wasn’t suppressed by the paradise, Lin Chen would suffer greatly, and defeating the opponent wouldn’t be easy.

Taking everything into account, Lin Chen decided to go halfway, head north while protecting the gatekeeper from being cut down.

If the gatekeeper refused, it would mean everything was fake because even he didn’t want to live, which didn’t match the dangerous reality. If he agreed, then heading north could verify the truth.

Facing an opponent with a realm far higher than his own, Lin Chen had no choice but to use the Linglong Tower, as its defense was indeed invincible.

The giant axe crashed onto the Linglong Tower, Lin Chen only felt his heart and mind swaying, but that was all.

Thankfully, it held up!

With his Five Elements Spirit Root promoted to a Saint, Lin Chen’s combat power naturally surpassed an ordinary Saint. Although the opponent’s realm was indeed higher than his own, with the Linglong Tower compensating for defense, it wasn’t completely indefensible.

The man showed a look of surprise on his face, "Hey, you kid of different races, you have some skill, actually able to withstand my axe with an Initial Realm strength!"

Lin Chen didn’t respond at all, sprinting madly and sticking close behind the gatekeeper.

"Trying to escape?"

The man shouted angrily, quickly giving chase.

Lin Chen’s speed was no less than the man’s, but the gatekeeper ran somewhat slower, causing Lin Chen to be caught up again.

The giant axe swung repeatedly, hacking down, making the Linglong Tower issue loud noises.

Lin Chen didn’t retaliate, letting the opponent hack away at the Linglong Tower, grabbing the gatekeeper with one hand.

"You’re too slow, you lead the way!"

The gatekeeper pointed in a direction, Lin Chen took the gatekeeper and dashed furiously, with the Linglong Tower steadily following behind, continuously blocking the giant axe hacking from behind.

The two kept running madly for a long time until they finally reached the Barrier Wall.

Lin Chen asked the gatekeeper, "Where’s the Teleportation Gate?"

The gatekeeper pointed ahead, "Follow the wall!"

After walking for a while, the gatekeeper suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Right in front of us!"

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, and he accelerated his pace. Soon, he saw a Teleportation Gate located on the mountaintop.

"Does passing through the Teleportation Gate count as passing the trial?"

The gatekeeper answered quickly, "Yes."

Lin Chen flew straight towards the Teleportation Gate, but before he was halfway there, a tall and thin man with a grim smile suddenly appeared from the foot of the mountain and attacked.

"You kid dare to come back; then go die!"

The man surged with overwhelming might, rushing towards the gatekeeper.

The man behind shouted, "This kid’s Magical Treasure is powerful; I can’t break it. Let’s cut him down together!"

"Alright!"

The man manipulated a Black War Blade, flashing with Thunderbolt, and slashed down with great force.

Lin Chen immediately felt immense pressure; both men possessed strong combat power, roughly first-rate. Lin Chen’s realm was suppressed, barely reaching second-rate, and that was only due to his Five Elements Spirit Root; otherwise, he wouldn’t even reach second-rate.

Facing first-rate with second-rate strength, under normal circumstances, it would be courting death, utterly helpless.

Relying on the Linglong Tower’s strength, Lin Chen could barely withstand a first-rate opponent, which was already difficult. Now with another appearing, facing two, Lin Chen suddenly found it hard to cope.

"Let’s go!"

Although the Teleportation Gate was right before his eyes, Lin Chen still didn’t leave the gatekeeper and rush towards the Teleportation Gate by himself. Instead, he immediately drew the Star Cloud Sword, slicing a majestic Sword Qi towards the man.

The skinny man was stalled by Lin Chen’s Sword Qi, unable for a moment to pay attention to the gatekeeper, who ran desperately towards the Teleportation Gate.

"Boom!"

The giant axe and war blade both struck the Linglong Tower and Sword Qi, causing Lin Chen to spit out a mouthful of blood and his body to be blasted like a meteor towards the back.

During the time Lin Chen’s cover provided, the gatekeeper already rushed to the mountaintop’s Teleportation Gate, and without hesitation, dashed in and vanished.

Lin Chen’s body struck the ground, but in an instant, he vanished, deployed Earth Escape, and entered the earth immediately.

The rugged man and the skinny man simultaneously hurled their giant axe and war blade down on the ground.

The earth shattered instantly, countless boulders breaking and flying off, soaring through the air in all directions.

Lin Chen’s silhouette flashed from a shattered boulder, not waiting for the rugged man and skinny man to launch an attack, he stepped forward again, disappearing instantly, and in the next second, reappearing behind them.

The Linglong Tower flew back swiftly, protecting Lin Chen’s back, who turned into Golden Light and darted towards the Teleportation Gate on the mountaintop at great speed.
