"Jiayi!" Lin Chen's gaze sharpened at the sight.
Just as Barro's fist was about to crash into Xu Jiayi's head, Lin Chen bellowed, unleashing the Time Law skill.
Lin Chen's strength had now reached a point where he could pause time for three seconds—a span ample enough to turn the tide of a clash between masters.
Barro's fist froze in mid-air, and with a flash Lin Chen appeared beside him. With a swift motion of his arm, Lin Chen decapitated him and kicked the head away.
Almost the moment the Time Law was activated, ten bolts of lightning struck down, incinerating all ten knife-wielding attackers to ash.
Time resumed its flow, but the situation on the square had completely reversed.
Xu Jiayi, who thought she was about to die, was just about to pull the pin on a grenade.
Her hand was grasped by Lin Chen's: "Jiayi, it's me."
Ashi and Emon were also staring at Lin Chen in shock at this moment.
