Chapter 1928 - 1929: Completely Exposed
Lin Chen felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged as he calmly looked at Qian Jin.Qian Jin snorted coldly upon seeing this, yet continued without further ado:
"The Millennium Stone Heart Milk is a very precious heavenly treasure. For Martial Artists in the Shenshi Realm, not even some high-grade elixirs can compare to it!"
"As for the role of the Millennium Stone Heart Milk, you must already know, it enhances one's cultivation, refines the meridians, and purges impurities left from prolonged practice, making one's body more suitable for cultivation. However, its energy is rather mild and won't be entirely consumed at once. Part of it remains in your body, blending in when you cultivate or get injured. Most importantly, it can even be activated during combat."
At this point, Qian Jin's gaze became even more sinister as he coldly stared at Lin Chen and continued:
"You don't know, this mission was my proposal. I have been scheming for that Millennium Stone Heart Milk for a long time! I know all its properties inside out! Although five of us acted together, when it comes to understanding the Millennium Stone Heart Milk, they don't compare to me at all!"
"When I discovered the thief who stole the Millennium Stone Heart Milk was one from our Heavenly Sword Pavilion, I couldn't focus on my practice, wishing I could cut him to pieces! My hand was lost because of him!"
"Heh, Lin Chen, you don't know, there's a marvelous aspect of the Millennium Stone Heart Milk. When it's completely consumed, the user's body emits a special fluctuation, lasting only a short while, but you have that fluctuation on you!"
Upon these words, both Chu Hanrou and Lin Chen's expressions changed.
Chu Hanrou looked at Lin Chen and Qian Jin in surprise, feeling somewhat unwilling to believe this fact.
Lin Chen's expression shifted momentarily but quickly returned to normal as the divine energy in his meridians began to circulate quietly.
He knew in his heart that since Qian Jin dared to say such things, he must be very certain. Although Lin Chen wasn't aware of any external manifestation of the Millennium Stone Heart Milk as described by Qian Jin, he suspected Qian Jin had certainly researched the matter thoroughly, so Lin Chen was being extremely cautious.
He looked at Qian Jin coolly and said without a ripple:
"Qian Jin, these are all your one-sided words. Who knows if you're making up these things to frame me? Moreover, with my Shenshi Realm level four cultivation, how could I possibly contend against all five of you? Are you trying to lay false charges against me just because your cultivation is higher?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's retort, Qian Jin just snorted coldly, veins throbbing on his forehead:
"Hmph! I don't want to hear more of your excuses, Lin Chen. Today, you must pay the price!"
Lin Chen frowned tightly at these words, realizing a fierce confrontation with Qian Jin was unavoidable today.
"Lin Chen! I'm asking you, is there any more of the Millennium Stone Heart Milk left? With your Shenshi Realm level four cultivation, you would have used only a quarter of it. Hand over the rest, and I might show some mercy!"
Qian Jin clearly still held hope for the Millennium Stone Heart Milk. In reality, Lin Chen did indeed have half of it left, as he had forcefully refined half with his powerful level four Shenshi Realm cultivation. But such a treasure, even if he couldn't use it himself, Lin Chen certainly wouldn't give away for nothing.
"I'll say it again, I did not take your Millennium Stone Heart Milk!"
Lin Chen wasn't foolish. If he admitted to it now, even if he got through Qian Jin at the moment, he'd face unending troubles once back at the sect, so he steadfastly denied any involvement.
Nevertheless, Qian Jin was not easy to fool. Seeing Lin Chen repeatedly deny it, he was on the brink of rage.
With a livid face, he looked coldly at Lin Chen, demanding word by word:
"You little scoundrel, I'll ask you one last time, will you hand it over or not?"
Hearing Qian Jin's insult, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed gradually:
"I didn't take it. Don't push your luck!"
"Hahaha! A useless level five Shenshi Realm dares threaten me? Do you think mastering Sword Intent makes you invincible? Hmph, I'm not a fool like Xiong Zhan!"
With that, Qian Jin's expression turned extremely sinister, fixating his eyes on Lin Chen, and then roared in anger:
"Kid, since you're so obstinate, go die!"
Before the words were out, Qian Jin's aura exploded, the pressure of a level nine Shenshi Realm surging towards Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen snorted coldly, his level five Shenshi Realm aura rising, forming a shield around him, directly fending off Qian Jin's pressure.
Qian Jin was upset that his aura failed to suppress Lin Chen.
Originally, Qian Jin had begun to glimpse the threshold of Sword Intent, but even after a long time, he hadn't mastered it, leaving his Swordsmanship stronger than typical opponents. However, with his right hand crippled, he could only retrain with his left hand, and despite deep insights into the Sword Dao, his current strength was significantly reduced.
Once one of the outer sect's top five, he considered himself the strongest. But Lin Chen's displayed talent and strength in the grand competition were far more dazzling.
At Shenshi Realm level four, Lin Chen had defeated level seven opponents. Now at level five, he could directly confront level eight, with such cross-level battle capability making even Qian Jin uneasy. If Lin Chen reached level seven, or even level six, wouldn't he surpass him completely?
Moreover, more critical was Lin Chen's comprehension of Sword Intent at level four, something Qian Jin had long wanted but failed to achieve, leaving him exceedingly envious!
Seeing his aura no longer effective against Lin Chen, Qian Jin snorted coldly again, then charged swiftly at Lin Chen with his drawn Longsword.
