Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 621 The situation is reversed
Outside Canglan City, a sudden uproar erupted.

The reason is that flames suddenly appeared on Lin Chen, who was the center of attention.

boom!
The flames engulfed Lin Chen in an instant.

Although the flames dissipated after a few breaths, revealing Lin Chen's true face again, everyone saw that there was blood dripping from between Lin Chen's eyebrows.

This scene greatly worried the disciples of the Canglan Sect.

"I understand now. The reason why Lin Chen was able to kill the Yin brothers is the same as Yin Wushuang's. Both of them chose to burn their own lifespan. Even if the Canglan Sect wins this battle, Lin Chen will not have much time left to live."

"Although I don't know how he did it, he must have used a forbidden technique, and now he's suffering the backlash."

In the void, many Myriad Manifestations Realm experts watching the battle inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way around it; the strength Lin Chen displayed put too much pressure on them.

Now that they know Lin Chen chose to burn his lifespan and even suffered a backlash, they no longer need to worry.

What good is strength if one's lifespan is nearing its end?
However, for Song Jin and Ji Ruochuan, the moment was filled with fear.

Regardless of how much life Lin Chen has left, unless he dies on the spot, their predicament will remain.

boom!
Lin Chen was enveloped in towering flames, which transformed into a fire dragon and rushed straight towards the battlefield in the sky.

"Elder, please entrust this Song brocade to me."

The bright moon reappeared above Lin Chen's head, its clear light instantly enveloping Song Jin. Ye Feiran, who was fighting Song Jin, nodded and turned to head straight for Ji Ruochuan.

Upon seeing Lin Chen appear, Song Jin's old face showed visible panic. He looked into the depths of the void, not believing that he would be a match for Lin Chen. Lin Chen was now like a god of death, and even those at the Myriad Manifestations Realm were no match for him.

He can only hope that the being watching from the void will lend a hand.

Seeing Song Jin's gaze fixed on the depths of the void, Lin Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. Now that he had chosen to burn his lifespan and decided to toll the death knell for the Yan Dynasty, that person could no longer interfere.

The destruction of either the Canglan Sect or the Bahuang Sect... it doesn't matter to that person. What that person wants is for the Yan Dynasty to fall into chaos.

"It's time to settle accounts with the Eight Desolations Sect."

Towering flames erupted from Lin Chen's body, engulfing the area along with the moonlight.

……

……

Deep in the void, Dongfang Canglang's eyes showed anxiety. He didn't understand why his father hadn't made a move yet. Was he going to just watch Lin Chen turn the tables?

"Father."

In the end, Dongfang Canglang couldn't help but turn around and look at the figure shrouded in the seven-colored clouds.

"Whether it's the Canglan Sect or the Bahuang Sect, it makes no difference to me which one is destroyed."

Upon hearing his father's words, Dongfang Canglang was taken aback. He knew that his father was telling the truth, and that it didn't matter to his father whether it was the Canglan Sect or the Bahuang Sect.

But he was unwilling to accept it. The Canglan Sect and Lin Chen had caused him to lose face several times, so he naturally hoped that it was the Canglan Sect that would be destroyed, so that he could relieve his hatred.

“But Father, the Eight Desolations Sect launched a sect war against the Canglan Sect, and they also have the intention of joining us. If we stand idly by, it may make other forces even more hesitant.”

Dongfang Canglang whispered a reminder that although it was not explicitly stated outside, everyone knew that the Eight Desolations Sect and the Yama Palace had launched a sect war against the Canglan Sect because they wanted to curry favor with the Dongfang family. If they did nothing, other forces would probably stop siding with them.

"Cang Lang, you still don't understand."

The figure amidst the colorful clouds remained expressionless: "The Eight Desolations Sect is not just because of my Dongfang family. Without the royal family's permission, how could the Illusion Spirit Sect have joined? The Sect War Order is not so easy to obtain."

"Father, do you mean that the Eight Desolations Sect has sided with the royal family?"

"It's not so much about surrendering, but rather the royal family going along with the trend and wanting to destroy the Canglan Sect."

Dongfang Canglang remained silent. He understood his father's meaning, but he was still somewhat unwilling: "Father, if either the Canglan Sect or the Bahuang Sect can be destroyed, then why can't it be the Canglan Sect?"

"Because of Lin Chen."

"Lin Chen?"

Dongfang Canglang never expected his father to give such an answer.

"This boy's martial arts talent is indeed remarkable. He has already condensed half of the remaining fortune of the Yan Dynasty. Keeping him to deal with the Yan Dynasty will accelerate the flow of the Yan Dynasty's fortune."

"So that's it."

Dongfang Canglang finally understood why his father had chosen to stand by and do nothing.

"Canglan, Lin Chen has burned through his lifespan. After this battle, his lifespan will be short. You don't need to focus your attention on him."

"My child understands."

Hearing his father's words, which carried a hint of warning, Dongfang Canglang had no choice but to accept the outcome, no matter how unwilling he was.

……

……

boom!
In the sky, the flames dissipated, the bright moon fell once more, and Lin Chen staggered as he fell from the sky again, but fortunately he managed to regain his balance in the end.

As for Song Jin, his figure had already vanished. Everyone knew that another one had fallen. Four experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm had died at the hands of one person.

The martial artists watching were no longer shocked, because they had become numb.

With Lin Chen's intervention in the battle, everyone anticipated this outcome.

Now, Ji Ruochuan, the only one left, is also struggling to hold on against the combined attacks of Ye Feiran and Qin Tianhua.

"I never expected that this sect war would end like this."

"Lin Chen turned the tide, and the Canglan Sect completely turned the tide. Next, it will be the turn of the Bahuang Sect."

The Eight Desolations Sect obtained a war order that allows it to launch a war of annihilation against the Canglan Sect, but the Canglan Sect can also launch a war of annihilation against the Eight Desolations Sect.

Zong Zhanling is a double-edged sword.

Normally, those who apply for the Sect War Token are those who are absolutely certain of victory, and the Eight Desolate Sect was no exception. However, what they didn't expect was that they would be overturned in the end.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Chen landed on the ground, coughed a few times, and his face turned pale, but even so, no one dared to underestimate him at this moment.

Lin Chen, who appeared pale and weak, actually killed four experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

……

……

"Second Uncle, we can't wait any longer. If this continues, the Canglan Sect will be overthrown."

Tens of thousands of feet away from Canglan City, Yan Hui was irritable. He came here to see the Canglan Sect destroyed, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to appear at the last moment and turn the tide.

Not only could they turn the tide, but the most crucial point is that the Illusionary Spirit Sect was built up by their royal family. If Ji Ruochuan were to perish here, it would be a huge loss for both the Illusionary Spirit Sect and the royal family.

However, the old man standing behind Yan Hui shook his head: "It's too late to make a move now."

"Second Uncle, how could it be too late?"

Yan Hui quickly said, "Lin Chen is clearly burning through his lifespan and cannot continue. As long as you uncles and elders take action, we will surely be able to destroy the Canglan Sect."

Yan Hui didn't believe that Lin Chen would still have the strength to fight again, while he had three experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm on his side.

"Xiao Hui, it's not just our royal family that's paying attention to this battle."

The old man sighed softly. His nephew couldn't sense how many Myriad Manifestation Realm experts were watching over Canglan City, but he could sense it clearly.

And as if to verify the old man's words, just as his sigh fell, a silver-haired girl appeared in the sky above Canglan City.

The girl's face was as cold as frost, as if she had stepped out of the moon palace. With one step, she was right in front of Lin Chen.

"The Moon Soul Clan Empress!"

Upon seeing the girl's appearance, many Myriad Manifestations Realm experts watching the battle were taken aback. Her presence standing beside Lin Chen already indicated her stance.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Yin Yue looked at Lin Chen's pale face with worry in her eyes. In order to fully inherit the energy of the clan's treasure, she had been in seclusion. As soon as she learned about the situation at Canglan Sect, she rushed over immediately.

"The Moon Soul Clan actually wants to get involved, but even with the Moon Soul Clan Queen involved, our royal family still has a chance of winning."

Upon seeing Yin Yue's appearance, Yan Hui's expression turned extremely ugly, but he was not afraid. A Moon Soul Clan Empress was not enough to reverse the situation.

Just as he finished speaking, plum blossom petals suddenly appeared in the sky, and an old man stepped out from among them.

Mei Shen, the Grand Elder of the Flower Clan.

Mei Shen also landed beside Lin Chen, looking at him with a complicated expression. Long before this sect war began, Yin Wushuang of the Canglan Sect had approached him, and the two had reached an agreement.

The Flower Clan will not interfere in the sect war between the Canglan Sect and the Eight Desolations Sect, but if a critical moment truly arises, the Flower Clan will take Lin Chen away.

Using Lin Chen's status as the son-in-law of the Flower Clan as an excuse, they took Lin Chen away, which can be considered as preserving the last embers of the Canglan Sect.

To his surprise, Lin Chen broke through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and immediately after breaking through, he killed four Myriad Manifestations Realm experts, creating something that had never happened before in the Yan Dynasty.

This was what shocked Mei Shen, but what frustrated Mei Shen even more was that Lin Chen had achieved this strength by choosing to burn his lifespan. In Mei Shen's perception, Lin Chen's soul was already extremely unstable...

Perhaps, in three years or less... its lifespan will come to an end.

Mei Shen's appearance made Yan Hui's expression turn extremely ugly. He finally understood why his second uncle hadn't taken any action.

The Flower Clan doesn't only have one expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. The fact that this Grand Elder has personally appeared means that the Flower Clan has chosen to stand on Lin Chen's side.

However, this was not the end. Following Mei Shen's appearance, another graceful figure stepped out of the void. Upon seeing this figure, many Myriad Manifestations Realm experts watching the battle narrowed their eyes, wondering why this person had appeared.

This Misty Cloud Palace Master should theoretically have no connection with Lin Chen or the Canglan Sect, given the considerable distance between the two realms.

Xing Yuyu appeared and said calmly, "My Misty Immortal Palace owes Lin Chen a favor."

One sentence clearly states the position and explains the reason.
