Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2206: Chapter 2207: Breaking the Formation

Lin Chen’s sword tip swung sideways to the ground, his straight and upright figure standing there, appearing exceptionally tall against the backdrop of the short man.

”Misunderstanding... hehehe... misunderstanding...”

The short man choked, struggling to squeeze out a few words from his throat, his smile awkward, and sweat was trickling down his forehead.

He hadn’t expected Lin Chen’s strength to be so terrifying; the momentum contained within a single sword strike was enough to shatter his formation.

”If I knew, I wouldn’t have tried to stop him alone...”

The short man lamented bitterly in his heart. He was also a member of the Azure Dragon Association, and when entering the spiritual realm, Tao Yuyu had said that whoever found Lin Chen’s location should trap him, and Tao Yuyu would heavily reward them.

That was what stirred his greed.

His Spiritual Energy cultivation wasn’t actually high, but he excelled in formations. This kind of maze formation, as long as one’s strength wasn’t overwhelmingly superior, wouldn’t be easily detected. Even if discovered, it wouldn’t be easily broken.

It was precisely because of this that he was so confident.

But he misjudged Lin Chen’s strength. Facing him directly now, the short man didn’t even have the courage to confront him. Sweat the size of beans formed on his forehead and dripped down his rough face.

”Misunderstanding?”

Lin Chen sneered, holding his sword, advancing step by step. He couldn’t believe the short man’s lies. As he moved forward, his momentum grew increasingly stronger, causing the short man to retreat several steps in fright.

”Why haven’t they come yet?” The short man was somewhat terrified, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then looked in one particular direction.

When he had just trapped Lin Chen, he had already notified Tao Yuyu. Now it had been nearly an hour. Why hadn’t they arrived yet?

His heart was anxious.

Lin Chen squinted his eyes slightly, this expression was fully caught by Lin Chen, watching his facial expression, Lin Chen knew his intentions.

”Are you stalling for time?”

Lin Chen instantly understood the key point; much like the recent formation he used, it was all to trap Lin Chen.

He laughed coldly and no longer hesitated.

In a flash, his sword-wielding body darted from its original position, transforming into a streak, leaving only a glimmering silhouette in its wake.

The next moment, that gleam stopped at the short man’s throat, and penetrated three inches.

”Ugh... ah...”

The short man hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events. Originally lacking in battle experience, he entered the spiritual realm hoping for luck. Facing someone like Lin Chen, who had rich combat experience, he instantly lost his original advantage.

Bright red blood sprayed from the wound piercing through his throat, which he tried to cover with his hand, as if wanting to block the wound.

The wound was too deep, blood continuously spurted through the gaps in his fingers. An icy feeling surged through the short man’s body, his knees buckled, and the next moment he knelt to the ground. As he fell, a trace of astonishment and unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

In mere moments, his eyes closed, his short body inclined forward, falling at Lin Chen’s feet.

Lin Chen displayed a blank expression; he was long used to such things. If one wishes to harm others, they must naturally be prepared to be killed.

Lin Chen felt no burden; he crouched down and lifted the short man’s right hand.

On his right finger was a jade green ring, identical to Lin Chen’s, which of course was a Storage Ring obtained after reaching the Spirit Pill level.

Now that the Storage Ring’s owner was dead, the Spiritual Energy sensing it was gone, making the ring ownerless. Lin Chen swiftly took it off.

Lin Chen was currently extremely short on resources, so he wouldn’t miss out on any good items from his enemy. Besides, in this competition, the task was to plunder.

The items plundered would count as points, calculated using the competitor’s own cultivation and that of the opponent.

For example, with Lin Chen at Spirit Pill level one, and the short man at Spirit Pill level three, a difference of two stages. If Lin Chen wins, he gets two points.

If the short man wins and takes the wooden plaque, he would receive only one point.

Within the limited time, the top fifty with the most accumulated points are transmitted to the next stage.

These things, Lin Chen did not know before coming; it seemed etched in his mind upon entering.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Just as Lin Chen took off the Storage Ring, sounds of objects slicing through the air reached him from a distance, approaching rapidly, despite being tens of miles away, the gap was closing quickly with such swift movement.

Though Lin Chen hadn’t felt the approaching figures, he clearly understood that the short man was stalling for time.

Upon completing his actions, Lin Chen immediately didn’t stay longer. Using the cover of the dense forest, he swiftly dashed, like a nimble monkey, climbing and leaping through the trees.

Within mere breaths, he had moved several miles from the spot.

Not long after he departed, several figures arrived beside where the short man had been.

The leader was undoubtedly Tao Yuyu.

”That guy really is useless, to let him escape in such a short time. To think he usually boasts about mastering formations, ridiculous!”

One of them mercilessly kicked the already dead body, which exploded into a bloody mist, leaving no intact corpse.

”It seems his skill has improved a lot lately.” Tao Yuyu said lightly, his tone showing no sign of heaviness, but rather a bit of amusement.

”No matter how strong, he’s still only Spirit Pill level one. In the face of absolute power, what kind of waves can he stir?”

The one who stomped the body flicked off remnants of blood on his foot, expressing disdain.

”Let’s split up and search. The area here is too vast, even if the master placed them close to us, it’s hard to find them quickly.”

”Alright.”

Tao Yuyu’s followers nodded in agreement. Although their abilities didn’t match Tao Yuyu’s, they were definitely no easy prey, at least far stronger than the previous short man, so there was no worry of Lin Chen threatening them.

After a brief radiant flash, several people vanished from their location, leaving the forest in tranquility, with only a mangled corpse scattered, the back still showing a large hollow—evidence of the stomp.

In that quietness, deep underground, a spectral figure appeared.

It hovered before the corpse and began to devour.
