Chapter 427: Strange Phantom

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Alex’s body was blasted more than 100 feet away. He fell to the ground with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, looking rather miserable.

“D*mn it, what kind of sorcery did you use?” His face was filled with resentment.

Lin Sen grinned and said, “Why do you care?”

“D*mn it! I’ll fight you to the death!” Alex roared angrily. He focused all his energy on the silver spear in his right hand.

His skin emitted a faint silver-white luster. The silver spear in his hand seemed to have turned into a piece of cold iron that flickered with an ice-blue light.

“Die!” Alex shouted. The spear stabbed Lin Sen’s throat at an astonishing speed.

Lin Sen’s expression did not change. The longsword in his right hand blocked in front of him. Then, he suddenly spun, causing the longsword in his hand to slide along the spear. In the end, the attack was blocked.

He took the opportunity to close in and kick Alex in the stomach, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

This sudden change made Alex’s face turn extremely pale. This move consumed a lot of his energy, especially the power of Lin Sen’s kick just now.

However, at this moment, Alex could not care less about the pain. There was only one thought in his mind: think of a way to escape!

Without thinking, he turned and sped out of the cave. He knew that if he didn’t escape, he might die here today.

“Escape? Do you think you can escape?” Lin Sen sneered. He tapped the rock wall with the tip of his foot and suddenly rushed towards Alex.

“Damn b*stard, don’t think that I’m afraid of you!” Alex roared angrily, his body emitting a monstrous combat intent.

Alex’s body suddenly stopped. The battle aura on his body surged, and the spear in his hand emitted a faint purple light.

His body suddenly jumped, and then a spear light shot towards Lin Sen.

The spear whistled, raising waves of wild winds.

“Haha… petty tricks!” Lin Sen’s mocking voice sounded. A green light flickered on his right hand as he slashed down with his long sword.

The long sword and spear light collided violently, emitting terrifying energy.

The two of them retreated.

Lin Sen’s figure flashed and instantly arrived in front of Alex. His longsword stabbed fiercely at his chest.

Alex hurriedly drew his silver spear and blocked this fatal strike.

But his body was sent flying. Lin Sen grabbed his sword and turned into a phantom, chasing after him in the blink of an eye.

The sword emitted a resplendent emerald green light as it stabbed toward Alex.

Alex’s expression changed drastically. His body dodged in a beautiful arc in the air, but Lin Sen was too fast. He was still struck by the sword.

Lin Sen’s sword pierced through Alex’s shoulder.

Alex screamed as blood splattered on the ground.

Lin Sen narrowed his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the sharp blade of his longsword cut open the skin on Alex’s neck. Instantly, blood spewed out, staining Alex’s clothes red.

Alex endured the pain in his shoulder and hurriedly retreated. He looked at Lin Sen with fear in his eyes. Lin Sen’s strength had exceeded his expectations.

“Don’t force me, or you’ll pay the price too!” Alex stared coldly at Lin Sen, his body emitting a biting cold killing intent.

Lin Sen shook his head. He didn’t say anything. Instead, he attacked Alex again.

Despair rose in Alex’s heart. Lin Sen’s strength completely crushed him. He was no match for him.

He retreated, wanting to increase the distance between them so that he could recover his strength. Then, he would wait for his strength to fully recover before fighting him.

Although Alex’s plan was good, how could Lin Sen let him get what he wanted?

Lin Sen was extremely fast. Almost instantly, he arrived beside Alex. His right hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Alex’s neck.

“Ah!” Alex let out a bloodcurdling scream. Veins popped out all over his body, and a terrifying aura appeared around him.

Alex’s eyes were red and his eyeballs were bloodshot. He struggled with all his might, but he could not break free from Lin Sen’s grip.

“Let me go! You let me go!” Alex roared.

“Let go of you? Dream on.” Lin Sen glanced at him indifferently. Then, he suddenly clenched his hand and broke his neck.

A corpse slowly fell to the ground, kicking up endless dust.

Alex’s death plunged the entire valley into silence. The roars of the beasts stopped abruptly. They stared in surprise at the lifeless Alex.

“How weak.” Lin Sen shook his head. His face was filled with disappointment. He felt that Alex was too trashy.

“Forget it. Since I’ve dealt with him, let’s go back and report, ” Lin Sen muttered and turned around to return the way he came.

“Wait.” A hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly came from behind Lin Sen.

Lin Sen suddenly turned his head and saw the face of an ugly old man. It was the black-robed old man that he had met previously.

The black-robed old man walked over step by step. His footsteps were very slow. With every step he took, the entire space seemed to tremble.

He exuded a bone-chilling sense of evil, but Lin Sen was not afraid at all.

“It’s just a phantom. What’s there to pretend about?”

The black-robed old man’s expression froze, and he immediately let out a sinister sneer. “Phantom? Good kid, you can actually sense my aura!”

Lin Sen frowned slightly. No wonder he couldn’t sense the black-robed old man’s existence just now. It turned out that this guy wasn’t a real thing, but a fake illusion.

However, even if it was a fake illusion, it was terrifying enough. This old fellow’s strength had at least reached the peak of Class 6!

Lin Sen did not dare to be careless. Green light flickered on his body, and jade-green runes appeared around him. Lin Sen’s body quickly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he became a hundred-meter-tall demon king.

Lin Sen’s body emitted terrifying fluctuations. He stared at the black-robed old man. The longsword in his hand emitted a dazzling light. He swung the longsword in his hand and slashed at the old man.

“You have a death wish!” The old man roared. His eyes were bloodshot as he threw a punch forward, colliding with Lin Sen’s longsword.

The two weapons collided with a shocking sound. A violent wind swept in all directions, shattering the stones in front of Lin Sen and causing rocks to shatter.

“Hmph!” Lin Sen grunted and took five to six steps back before stabilizing his body. He held the longsword in his hand tightly, his eyes sharp. The phantom retreated a few meters!

He raised his arm and pointed his sword at the black-robed old man.

“You’re indeed very strong. As expected of an Epic-grade expert. However, you’re only an illusion after all.. You can’t hurt me at all!”
