Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2239: Chapter 2240: Breaking the Siege

Lin Chen stood tall at the top of the steps, the few steps of difference made Lin Chen appear larger compared to Tao Yuyu, whose slender form now seemed more imposing.

This scene was a stark reversal of identity between Lin Chen and Tao Yuyu.

Tao Yuyu gritted his teeth, yet he found himself without direction amongst the Azure Dragon gang that accompanied him, each struggling under the same pressure, leaving no room to concern themselves with others.

”This doesn’t seem... very pleasant, does it?”

At this moment, a voice rang out.

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it made Tao Yuyu’s heart relax, his expression turning to one of delight.

Someone spoke out, indicating they weren’t Lin Chen’s ally; thus, whoever it was, Tao Yuyu was naturally overjoyed.

”Friend, help me escape this cursed situation, and I will reward you handsomely!”

Tao Yuyu exclaimed with joy, his tone full of urgency.

”I’ve never tolerated such pretentious people, and even if you hadn’t asked, I would have done so,”

The voice sounded sincere, with a hint of righteous fervor in the demeanor, as if they were displeased by Lin Chen’s actions and had come to assist.

Yet, a flicker of resentment occasionally crossed his eyes, aimed at Lin Chen, raising doubts about his true motives.

”Kong Jingyi, is it?”

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; after hearing Sun Tianming’s words, Lin Chen was no stranger to this presence.

It was Kong Jingyi, who earlier had charged forth, long spear in hand, leading the Spiritual Body.

Kong Jingyi walked comfortably, his stance seemingly unaffected, indicating his physical prowess well beyond ordinary.

Among many shadows here, excluding Lin Chen, only a few could move so effortlessly, hinting at his formidable power.

At this moment, he approached from a wide stairway, without continuing to climb, instead gliding down the level, spear reversed, moving slowly toward Lin Chen and Tao Yuyu.

The heavily weighted spear, angled downward, was further burdened by the pressure, causing the sharp edge to cut into the sturdy stone steps, leaving a long and narrow fissure which, amidst Kong Jingyi’s gradual movement, sparked and glittered.

Lin Chen turned to face Kong Jingyi, a look of surprise as he recalled no past grievances with him.

After a brief thought, Lin Chen dismissed his mind, seeing Kong Jingyi’s manner of hostility; since this was the case, Lin Chen would not back down.

Anyway, with so many foes, adding one more didn’t make much difference.

”Don’t think your superior physical abilities allow you to act recklessly.”

Kong Jingyi stepped forward slowly, his tone indifferent, his expression full of disdain.

”Really? But aren’t you doing the same by coming to me now?”

Lin Chen responded coolly, with no hint of weakness.

”A sharp-tongued brat!”

Kong Jingyi sneered, holding the spear as he moved forward, the spear’s cold gleam directed at Lin Chen signaling Kong Jingyi’s stance.

He had long disliked Lin Chen, and were it not for Lin Chen’s earlier alert, this place wouldn’t have gathered so many people.

Had there been fewer, he might have moved closer to the goal.

Thus, all blame was cast upon Lin Chen, his spear aimed with resentful intent.

”Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning; you better watch yourself.”

Lin Chen looked at Kong Jingyi meaningfully, deducing his thoughts after seeing him appear.

Feigning righteousness, Lin Chen was unmoved, glancing at Kong Jingyi before continuing upward.

With Kong Jingyi’s interference, dealing with Tao Yuyu became unrealistic, prompting Lin Chen to cease his stay here.

”Hmph, arrogant youngster.”

Kong Jingyi scoffed, retracting his spear; the brief moment pointing at Lin Chen amidst mounting pressure had taxed his arm, saved by years of physical training.

”Thank you.”

Tao Yuyu nodded towards Kong Jingyi, then rose again, exhausted under the lingering pressure.

Inhaling deeply, he stood tall, eyes narrowed like cold gleams locking onto Lin Chen, harboring grievances old and new, deciding he would not let Lin Chen die easily once his skills recovered.

”Don’t mention it; we’ll meet above,”

Kong Jingyi replied, noting Lin Chen’s slow ascent, choosing not to linger but swiftly heading up the steps, quickly approaching Lin Chen.

Both advancing side by side, steady and brisk, despite the rising pressure, merely panting more heavily.

In a short while, they crossed dozens of steps, leaving others behind.

With sweat streaming, they breathed heavily.

Though Lin Chen disdained Kong Jingyi, he couldn’t help but notice Kong Jingyi’s tenacity, rarely seeing physical strength keep pace with him.

”No wonder he has reason for his arrogance.”

Similarly, Kong Jingyi looked at Lin Chen with severity; his spear withdrawn to a private space within his ring, unaffected by pressure here.

While observing Lin Chen, Kong Jingyi noticed a dark-clad figure surpassing them, swiftly leaping toward the top.

”Another expert!”

Kong Jingyi’s face darkened, the competition exceeding his expectations, skilled individuals arriving one after another, shattering his plans with a touch of defeat.

Power surged from his feet, the sudden force causing slight bone tremors at his knees, making a soft sound.
