The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3556: Seemingly many choices, but actually no choices at all!
The man in brocade robes was already facing two terrifying attacks imbued with the power of saints. His first defensive barrier was breached, forcing him to take out another magical artifact containing the power of saints to intercept the attack head-on.

Under such circumstances, how could he have imagined that Lin Chen had actually arrived behind them long ago?
When Lin Chen appeared behind the man in brocade robes and activated his crystal magic weapon to attack him, he immediately noticed the abnormality.

However, Lin Chen was too close to him, and this attack was both deliberate and unexpected. All his attention was focused on the front, so he had no time to resist.
The crystal shot into his body, and the energy contained within it exploded instantly.

The man in brocade robes' body instantly began to decay. It wasn't the decay caused by the crystal at the wound site, but rather the entire body that underwent severe decay simultaneously.

The man in brocade robes was terrified, his eyes filled with despair, for he realized he was utterly powerless against the horrific corruption.

In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into a humanoid statue resembling rotten earth.

At the critical moment, the man in brocade robes' primordial spirit flew out of his body, but before he could even feel relieved, a black seal flew out and trembled violently in the air.

"clang!"

The man in brocade robes was about to escape when he was stunned for a moment.

In the battle between the strong, every little bit counts.

In that instant of distraction, Lin Chen unleashed a punch, and countless extremely sharp sword energies converged into this terrifying and invincible strike, which slammed into the brocade-clad man's primordial spirit.

Countless golden cracks instantly appeared on the man in brocade robes' primordial spirit. These cracks expanded and split open in the blink of an eye, and then suddenly exploded in bursts of golden light.

The man in brocade robes is dead!

The whole process happened in an instant. Zhao Muran and the other two were also defending against the frontal attack. By the time they noticed Lin Chen behind them, Lin Chen had already completed his attack and killed the man in brocade.

Before Zhao Muran and the other two could launch an attack on him, Lin Chen had already instantly retracted the Human Emperor Seal and then disappeared into the shadow of the Linglong Tower as if he had vanished from the spot.

Although the floating islands were mostly destroyed, and it seemed as if everyone was fighting a battle in the stars, the shadows still lingered.

The three finally managed to block the attack, only to find that the other side had been blown into clouds of blood mist by the terrifying energy shock, and were dead beyond any doubt.

What can be said about a dead person?
Violation of regulations?

Haven't they already paid the price?

Chen Zu had previously stated that there were no restrictions on fighting here.

When the raging, violent spiritual energy finally subsided, Lin Chen reappeared beside the Linglong Pagoda.

Zhao Muran and the other two had solemn expressions, and fear was already faintly visible in their eyes.

This guy has too many tricks up his sleeve, and he's too cunning; it's impossible to guard against him.

He was able to hide in the shadows and move silently, getting right behind them without them even noticing.

From the beginning until now, Lin Chen has shown that every skill, magic weapon, and technique he has displayed has been excellent, and none of them have been repeated.

Just how many powerful magical artifacts does this guy possess, and how many mysterious and bizarre methods does he have?

After two rounds of combat, both peak-level Quasi-Saints were gone. Not injured, but utterly annihilated, their very souls destroyed.

What tactics will they face next? And who will be their next target?

The ancestor Chen, watching this scene from above the heavens, had his eyes shining even brighter, and his gaze toward Lin Chen was now filled with undisguised admiration.

This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he's ruthless. He never holds back and never gives his opponent a chance to survive. He's all about killing them with one blow!

Thinking about what Lin Chen had told him about his life experiences, Chen Zu's eyes grew increasingly satisfied.

As one of the strongest beings in the Celestial Realm, he was betrayed during the struggle for godhood and ultimately perished in obscurity. It would be impossible for him to have no regrets or hatred in his heart.

The person who harmed him back then eventually became a high and mighty god, whose power was so great that even the Chen Ancestor at his peak could not shake him, which made him feel desperate.

Lin Chen's goal, however, resonated with him.

If the challenger were a celestial being, would they dare to have a dream like Lin Chen's?

Their biggest ambition is probably to acquire their unique skills, pledge allegiance to the current Earth God, and eventually become the Earth God's most powerful subordinate and the most powerful Earth-attribute saint.

Killing gods?

Having grown up in the realm of gods, they were filled with a deep-seated fear and awe of the gods. Where would they find such courage?
Lin Chen dared to do it!

He went from an ordinary person to a sub-saint in less than two hundred years, even stronger than the geniuses of the Celestial Clan. Moreover, he possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and the cultivation techniques and resources he needed were several times that of others.

It's difficult just to listen to, but he still succeeded.

He even risked entering the Celestial Realm and has already collected enough Dao Spirits in a short period of time!

He could have easily entered sainthood, but he had the courage to enter the holy realm to seize his inheritance. What does this mean?
This shows that he was unwilling to accept it!
He has ambitions!

As he said, even if he became a saint, he, being of a different race, would still be out of place in this world and would still be looked down upon and targeted by the saints of the Celestial Race.

To survive, to avoid becoming a slave, he had to climb higher and higher, surpassing all the saints and becoming a god, but that was still not his end.

Now that there are seventeen gods, even if he eventually has the opportunity to replace one of them, the other sixteen gods will certainly not let him go, and may even join forces to deal with him.

If he wants to remain unharmed, he must at least possess strength that surpasses other gods, or even strength that makes them wary; otherwise, these gods will not stop targeting him.

He possesses the spiritual roots of the Five Elements. If he inherits his legacy, and desires to become a celestial god, the Earth God would undoubtedly be the best target.

If he succeeds, wouldn't that be revenge for himself?
Even Chen Zu himself couldn't think of any way to enable a sage to defeat a god and take his place, because there was no precedent for this before.

Previous precedents involved battles between gods, which led to the fall of gods, the change of divine status, and the emergence of new gods. However, these were matters between gods, and how could ordinary saints possibly have the ability to intervene?
Chen Zu's rationality told him that even if Lin Chen had this idea, he would eventually fail, but Chen Zu had no better choice.

He would pass on his ultimate skills to an earth-attribute explorer, enabling him to become a saint, powerful, and ultimately the dog of the earth god.
Is there anything more disgusting than this?
