Chapter 4090: Chapter 4090: Choice, True Heart!

Yan Xun’s golden eyes narrowed slightly, for the first time showing a hint of surprise—this silver-white Flames’ power had actually exceeded his expectations!

However, that was all!

It still could not resist his fist qi!

The black fist qi and the silver-white Flames were locked in a stalemate in midair; under the burning of the Flames, that fist qi like a black sun thinned a little, but the Flames were completely extinguished as well!

Yan Xun’s lips curled in a disdainful cold smile as he said, "Hehe, woman, do you still remember what I said? I will make you regret it. But before that, you still have to help this Honored One take out that Mystic Moon True Fire so that I can break formations and emerge."

Lin Zhuqing had shattered Freedom Heaven to unleash a full-powered strike; the consumption was imaginable. At this moment, her fair face was deathly pale, her consciousness already blurred, yet when she heard Yan Xun’s words, her eyes suddenly snapped open! She whipped her gaze fiercely toward where Ye Chen was!

The next moment, that fist qi still containing extremely powerful power instantly blasted down toward Lin Zhuqing!

Before that fist qi truly fell, Lin Zhuqing abruptly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; the terrifying pressure of the fist crushed her entire skeleton until it creaked and cracked!

Even though crimson sword light flashed unceasingly around her body, it still could not stop the descent of that fist qi in the slightest!

On the other side, Divine Radiance exploded in Ye Chen’s eyes. The Dragonslayer Sword in his hand was just about to cleave down on that crack-filled light screen!

But just then, Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand froze in midair!

The golden light screen before his eyes actually vanished all of a sudden!

Ye Chen was stunned, momentarily at a loss...

What just happened?

Why did this light screen suddenly disappear?

Could it be that Lin Zhuqing was too heavily injured and couldn’t even maintain this array formation?

No!

Lin Zhuqing had only activated this array formation; it didn’t require her to maintain it at all!

Then why?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn’t help turning his head back to look toward Lin Zhuqing!

He saw that extraordinary, ethereal young girl, already covered in blood; under the pressure of that fist qi, her delicate body was on the verge of collapse! An expression of extreme pain had surfaced on her pretty face!

Yet even so, she still had not the slightest intention of giving up the fight and waiting for death!

In her eyes flickered a resolute light; she clenched her teeth hard, as if determined to hold on with all her might even for one more second!

Yan Xun folded his arms, watching this scene with a cold smile. He was in no hurry; letting this woman suffer a bit longer was, to him, a pretty good choice as well.

After all, no matter how Lin Zhuqing persisted, it wouldn’t be long before this punch completely stripped her of any ability to resist!

A cruel light flashed in Yan Xun’s eyes. Subduing that Mystic Moon True Fire shouldn’t require her limbs, right?

Then he might as well shatter this woman’s four limbs first.

At the instant Ye Chen turned to look at Lin Zhuqing, Lin Zhuqing’s gaze also swept toward where Ye Chen stood!

Their eyes met, and shock surfaced on Ye Chen’s face...

Lin Zhuqing’s gaze held hatred and fury, but...

Even more obvious was that she was urging him to leave this place!

Ye Chen’s pupils quivered slightly. This Protective Array had actually been opened voluntarily by Lin Zhuqing...

All to let him leave!

Just then, Xuan Han Yu’s voice rang out in Ye Chen’s mind.

Xuan Han Yu sighed and said, "This woman, though she hates you and even wants nothing more than to kill you, as a martial artist, her character is beyond reproach. In order to stop this Blood Demon Mountain Master from leaving the Oblivion Continent, for the sake of her mission as a Priest’s descendant, she not only put aside her personal hatred, she’s even straining to delay time so you can escape...

After all, now that the Mystic Moon True Fire has been absorbed by you, as long as you can safely leave this Oblivion Continent, even if this High-level True Demon defeats Lin Zhuqing, he’ll most likely still be sealed here and unable to escape."

At this moment, a mocking smile surfaced on Yan Xun’s face as he said, "Woman, you Priests are supposed to be all high and pure, preferring death to submission, aren’t you? Why are you still bitterly holding on and not self-destructing?

Oh, I know. Did you hear this Honored One say I have to rely on you to leave this cursed place and won’t kill you for now, so you can’t bear to die?

Hahahaha, after so many years, humans still haven’t changed. On the surface you’re all high-sounding righteousness, but in reality? Still just as afraid of death!"

At his words, an extremely furious light seemed to flash in Lin Zhuqing’s beautiful eyes; her delicate body even trembled slightly, but...

Proud as she was, she did not retort, silently enduring Yan Xun’s humiliation!

Ye Chen lowered his head, his grip on the Dragonslayer Sword slowly tightening!

He understood that the reason Lin Zhuqing had no intention of self-destructing was not because she clung to life in fear of death, but because she was stalling for time for him!

Though it was only out of duty, yet...

In the final analysis, Lin Zhuqing was holding on for Ye Chen’s sake, even at the cost of enduring humiliation!

He knew very well that for a proud woman like Lin Zhuqing, humiliation was more painful than death!

Looking at the Space Channel before him, hesitation surfaced in Ye Chen’s eyes...

If he left now, even if Lin Zhuqing was defeated by Yan Xun, she would definitely use excuses and the like to stall Yan Xun. Then, as long as he concealed his tracks well, he could almost certainly escape this place safely...

Conversely, facing Yan Xun, even for him, would be incomparably perilous!

At this moment, Xuan Han Yu spoke again, "Kid, whatever you’re thinking, just do it. The burden on you is heavy, but precisely because you are you, you can bear such a weight. If you make a choice that betrays your own heart, then you will no longer be that you, and instead may be crushed by this responsibility..."

At these words, Divine Radiance in Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly blazed!

Just then, that fist qi finally crushed all the sword qi around Lin Zhuqing and was about to smash down on her delicate body!

Yan Xun’s smile grew ever more ferocious, expectation and excitement flashing in his eyes!

The sight of this woman’s limbs exploding would surely be quite entertaining, wouldn’t it?

The Black Ring on his arm flashed with light as he restrained part of the fist qi’s power; he had no intention of turning Lin Zhuqing into pulp with a single punch!

But all of a sudden, a Black Shadow appeared in front of Lin Zhuqing as if by Instant Teleportation. A terrifying sword light exuding an endless Destructive Aura erupted abruptly, cleaving down on that fist qi!

This person was, naturally, Ye Chen!

He stared solemnly at the fist qi before him, yet without the slightest intent to retreat!

To abandon Lin Zhuqing and flee just like that—Ye Chen could not do it!

Even if he could, for the sake of seizing the Mystic Moon True Fire, think up a method like snatching Lin Zhuqing’s clothes to evade her pursuit, he could just as well risk his life to save someone for the sake of his own principles!

In this world, there are no absolute good men or villains; everything Ye Chen did was simply from his own heart!
