Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2317: Chapter 2318: Taking It for Myself

His hand lightly touched the hilt of the sword, yet the moment he made contact, he quickly withdrew, as if showing a hint of fear.

This was because of the previous mutation in Zhao Mu that made Lin Chen hesitant to act rashly.

After a slight hesitation, Lin Chen still placed his hand on the sword hilt above.

A cold aura emanated from the blade, traveling through his meridians, spreading across his body. Despite the scorching sun, an icy chill transmitted from the hilt.

Lin Chen’s spirit was jolted; this eerie cold aura was not like before—it wasn’t sinister but rather brought a refreshing coolness that invigorated the spirit.

This was peculiar because Lin Chen knew the sword was strange, yet now it seemed the sword’s evil aura had dissipated with the spread of the black miasma, leaving only this refreshing coolness.

Gripping the sword, Lin Chen felt confused, but the fear was gone.

Holding the sword in his hand, Lin Chen was not controlled by it, turning into a puppet like Zhao Mu, which was an advantage.

Now holding the Longsword in both hands, he pointed its two chilling blades forward, and as he held the sword, the surrounding evil aura gradually dispersed...

As this aura faded, Lu Kang turned his head, a smile emerging on his face. Excitedly, his hands rubbed together unconsciously.

Although he hadn’t established a connection with the sword yet, as long as it controlled Lin Chen, he had a way to manipulate the sword.

After all, the sword had been with him for a long time.

But then, his smile suddenly froze.

His face turned ghastly pale due to the lack of blood, becoming extremely unsightly. He lowered his eyes and exclaimed, ”How is this possible!”

Lu Kang’s shock was not unreasonable.

Because at this moment, Lin Chen was holding the sword with both hands, swinging it while looking calmly at him.

This calm gaze made Lu Kang incredibly angry, especially when he saw the sword in Lin Chen’s hand, his face turned even uglier.

”How can this be...”

He was still murmuring.

This sword had come from the depths of the Nine Underworlds, its evil nature was immense. With it previously drinking human blood, the sword’s evil qi reached indescribably terrifying levels.

However...

This immensely evil sword was now calmly held in Lin Chen’s hand, without the previous grotesque expression Zhao Mu had. This appearance clearly showed Lin Chen was controlling the sword.

With this realization, Lu Kang could no longer remain calm. His gaze flickered, scanning Lin Chen up and down. This sword was his treasured sword, and he had spent considerable time and effort on it.

But now, it was held by Lin Chen. How could he not be angry?

”This thing is quite handy to use.”

Lin Chen smirked, looking at Lu Kang with interest, and even taunted him with a soft laugh. He swung the sword in the air, making a ”swish” sound.

”Give it back!”

Lu Kang was clearly furious, in such a situation how could he accept it? He reached out with one hand, glaring at Lin Chen while speaking forcefully.

”Do you think that’s possible?” Lin Chen replied with an indifferent smile.

The enmity between them had already run deep, reconciliation was impossible, so Lin Chen naturally wasn’t going to show a pleasant face.

”I want you dead!”

Lu Kang’s face was terrifyingly angry, his muscles bulging, crawling like worms on his face.

All three of Lin Chen’s eyes, including the one abruptly appearing on his forehead, focused on Lu Kang.

Especially his third pupil, previously dormant, unknown of its prowess. Now Lin Chen’s awareness was clear, and with the opening of his third pupil, everything around became crystal clear.

In his mind, he seemed to discern the trajectory of power flowing in Lu Kang’s body.

It wasn’t Spiritual Energy, but another kind of peculiar power, emerging from the ground beneath Lu Kang, then circling into his body.

”His power comes from the surrounding crowd, but what exactly is this power he draws...”

Lin Chen could see an unknown web-like power from under the ground, from corpses and the battle scene, continually converging into Lu Kang’s body, even drawing some from Lin Chen himself.

”There’s something strange!”

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed, but despite the oddity, Lin Chen felt no loss of power, seemingly Lu Kang wasn’t absorbing his Spiritual Energy.

And now, with sufficient power augmentation, Lu Kang’s strength skyrocketed, almost breaking through to the Spirit Embryo realm.

”Is this the limit?”

Lu Kang lowered his head slightly, looking towards his right shoulder, where veins bulged as if they were about to burst, oozing with sparse red—the few remaining blood in Lu Kang’s body.

This peculiar power gathering in Lu Kang not only bolstered his strength but also enlarged his body.

Although Kong Jingyi’s original physical quality was decent, there were still shortcomings, and the explosive increase in power meant his body couldn’t endure such immense power.

”But Spirit Pill ninth level should already be enough!”

Lu Kang took a deep breath, glancing coldly at Lin Chen, then like a fierce tiger, he bent his knees slightly and suddenly leaped out. His punching force swept like a gale, akin to a beast’s wide-open maw, attacking Lin Chen’s body.

Previously, Lin Chen used medicinal help to boost his strength to the Spirit Pill ninth level to match Lu Kang. But now, without such aid, Lin Chen’s strength was only at the Spirit Pill third level.

In such a state, Lu Kang naturally didn’t take Lin Chen seriously.

”Since you can’t be used by me, only destruction awaits!”

A wild roar spilled from Lu Kang’s mouth; Lin Chen’s rapid strength ascension made Lu Kang unwilling to risk leaving a future threat!

”Then let’s see!”

Lin Chen replied with a cold sneer. He stepped forward, Spiritual Energy wildly coursing through his Dantian.

Like a raging river, it surged through Lin Chen’s meridians, racing towards his right shoulder.

This was a sword technique Wang Hao previously taught Lin Chen!
