Chapter 281

Lin Chen's words revealed confidence.

He really didn't want to attract trouble for himself, provided there was no agreement.

He and Liu Yue had an agreement, and Liu Yue obtained the Sect-Leading Order, which was what Senior Zhu intended; and since he had received benefits from Senior Zhu, he couldn't just watch Gao Yongsi snatch the Sect-Leading Order.

Thirdly, Gao Yongsi was from the Zhuang family, and he had a grudge against the Zhuang family.

"Boasting shamelessly; what does he think he is?"

Dan Mufeng looked at Lin Chen's back walking toward Liu Yue, with a look of disdain; just wait, this Lin Fei should be making a fool of himself soon, and it's even possible he'll lose his life.

He knew Zhuang Qiang, a person with a narrow mind; since Lin Chen dared to stand out, Zhuang Qiang would absolutely not let him go.

"You're wrong."

Hearing Dan Muqing had a look of deep regret on her face; seeing Dan Mufeng still mocking there, she directly threw the jade tablet in her hand over.

"You take a good look at the points on Lin Fei's jade tablet."

"Points, how many can he have..."

Dan Mufeng glanced at the green dots on the jade tablet, and his words stopped abruptly, his pupils carrying a look of incredulity.

The other three Dan family members on the side, including Yun Zhongjin, were now looking at him curiously, not understanding why Dan Mufeng stopped halfway through his words.

Is there something strange about the points on this jade tablet?

"I imagine it's good luck, encountering many demon beasts and being killed by him; there should be a dozen points."

Yun Zhongjin spoke indifferently; this time, in two and a half days, he and Dan Mufeng and others cooperated to kill thirty demon beasts, and this Lin Fei was alone, so at most he killed a dozen demon beasts.

"However, being able to kill a dozen demon beasts alone, although there is a luck component, his own strength is also not weak."

In Yun Zhongjin's view, if he were alone and lucky enough, killing a demon beast and resting enough, he could immediately encounter the next demon beast; in two and a half days, he should be able to kill twenty-plus demon beasts.

Dan Mufeng heard Yun Zhongjin still analyzing there and hurriedly spoke; he was afraid that by the time Yun Zhongjin finished analyzing and knew Lin Fei's points, he would become extremely embarrassed.

"Brother Yun... the points on Lin Fei's jade tablet are sixty-eight."

"What did you say?"

The indifference on Yun Zhongjin's face disappeared; without waiting for Dan Mufeng's confirmation, he snatched the jade tablet from Dan Mufeng's hand the next moment.

When he saw the six green dots and eight black dots on it, Yun Zhongjin's entire momentum was completely deflated.

Sixty-eight points, killing sixty-eight demon beasts!

Is this something a ninth-rank martial artist can do?

"This person is definitely not a nobody."

Yun Zhongjin's gaze looked at Hearing Dan Muqing: "Miss Dan, who exactly is this person?"

Hearing Dan Muqing shook her head; she now didn't dare to be sure whether Gu Fei's real name was Gu Fei.

"Since you want to find death, then I'll fulfill you!"

The distance between the four parties wasn't close; Zhuang Qiang hadn't noticed the situation on the Dan family side; seeing Lin Chen actually dare to walk toward this side, Zhuang Qiang let out a sneer, raised his right hand, and a crimson spear appeared in his hand.

"Go to hell!"

Zhuang Qiang thrust the spear, the sound of breaking air was constant, and the crimson light at the tip of the spear soared by three feet, thrusting toward Lin Chen with unparalleled momentum.

Watching Zhuang Qiang's spear thrust over, Lin Chen didn't dodge; his entire Qi and blood operated, and he struck with the Wind and Cloud Palm.

The Zhuang family members on the side saw Lin Chen actually choose to confront the spear with his flesh, and their faces carried looks of disdain:

"Big brother's spirit weapon is already second-rank; ordinary ninth-rank martial artists probably wouldn't dare to touch its edge, yet this person doesn't even use a spirit weapon; he's simply courting death."

"Big brother's strike will probably pierce his palm."

Lin Chen's right palm wrapped with thick Qi and blood met the crimson spear light; the moment the palm edge touched the spear tip, it actually erupted with the sound of gold and iron clashing.

Zhuang Qiang's pupils shrank; he only felt the spear thrust into a thousand-jin black iron, and the spear body shook violently, almost slipping from his hand.

He roared low, urging his entire body's true Qi, and the crimson light at the spear tip soared like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, but it couldn't advance even a fraction.

"Your spear isn't much either!"

Lin Chen laughed lightly, and the Wind and Cloud Palm suddenly erupted; the palm force was like a surging sea, instantly superimposed.

Zhuang Qiang's tiger's mouth bled, and the spear almost slipped from his hand; at this moment, he felt a terrifying force, one layer superimposed on another, attacking; at this moment, he felt as if he were in the vast ocean, facing surging waves.

He wanted to retreat, but under the gaze of everyone at the scene, if he retreated, he would become a laughingstock thereafter.

Just as Zhuang Qiang gritted his teeth and roared, everyone at the scene heard the crisp sound of shattering.

Crack!

The red light on the spear in Zhuang Qiang's hand dissipated, and the spear tip appeared with cracks at a speed visible to the naked eye; as for Zhuang Qiang himself, he staggered backward.

"This is impossible!"

The sneer of the Zhuang family disciples stiffened on their faces; the scene they expected—big brother's spear piercing the other party's palm and blood splashing five steps—didn't appear; instead, big brother Zhuang Qiang retreated, and even the spirit weapon spear appeared with cracks.

This was a second-rank spirit weapon.

The Zhuang family members knew very well that although big brother was still ninth-rank, the spear had already been upgraded to a second-rank spirit weapon, and he would step into the eighth-rank realm in a few days; he could be said to be a quasi-eighth-rank existence, yet he was shaken back by this person with flesh and blood palms.

"This person is very strong; he hid his strength earlier."

Shen Tao spoke slowly, looking at Lin Chen with a look of seriousness, and the next moment he pulled the long knife from behind his back; a cold light flashed, and he bullied his way up.

If Zhuang Qiang was defeated, he was afraid he wouldn't be a match for this person either.

"Despicable!"

Seeing Shen Tao take action, Hearing Dan Muqing spat lightly; a dignified Earth Rank powerhouse would actually join forces to deal with one person.

At this moment, Lin Chen's smooth Wind and Cloud Palm struck out constantly, and Zhuang Qiang also retreated step by step; the cracks on the spirit weapon spear were also getting more and more, and it looked like the entire spear was about to break completely.

Whoosh!

A cold light struck like lightning, slashing toward Lin Chen's back.

At the same time, the constantly retreating Zhuang Qiang roared again, and the spear in his hand instantly erupted with crimson light again, but if someone could see through the crimson light, they would see that the cracks on the spear had deepened again. The crimson spear shadow and the blade light intertwined into a death net at this moment, shrouding Lin Chen within it; Shen Tao's strike, wherever the blade light passed, the gravel on the ground also instantly turned into powder.

"Go to hell."

Zhuang Qiang's expression was ferocious, but Lin Chen's expression remained unmoved; his hands glowed with golden luster at this moment, and he met Zhuang Qiang's spear tip again.

Lin Chen completely ignored Shen Tao's blade light.

The ferocious smile on Zhuang Qiang's face hadn't dissipated, and the next moment it turned into horror; a terrifying force came from the spear tip, making his tiger's mouth instantly collapse, and the cracks like a spider web on the spear body spread completely in this instant.

Crack!

The spear shattered, actually letting out a mournful cry.

Spirit weapons all have spirituality!

Pfft!

Zhuang Qiang's expression instantly became pale, his entire person's spirit was listless, but at the same time, Shen Tao's blade light also slashed onto Lin Chen's back.

"Lin Fei is a bit unwise; both sides suffering is not good for him; it would be better to..."

Yun Zhongjin sighed lightly, but the next moment a thunderous "uproar" erupted at the scene; the moment Shen Tao's blade light was about to fall on Lin Chen's back, blood armor appeared behind Lin Chen.

The blade light fell on the blood armor, actually making the sound of gold and iron colliding, and it couldn't advance even a fraction.

Shen Tao's pupils shrank at this moment; his all-out strike was actually blocked by the other party.

Just relying on the blood armor condensed from Qi and blood, he actually blocked this strike of his?

"How did he do it?"

This was the doubt of everyone at the scene; Shen Tao was not a nobody; he was a powerhouse on the Earth Rank, recognized by both the Martial Academy and the Nine Kingdoms.

An all-out strike from such a person couldn't break the blood armor condensed from Qi and blood; this had already broken their cognition.

"Could it be the legendary body-forging technique? But even with a body-forging technique, at this age..."

Yun Zhongjin whispered, but before the words fell, the scene changed again.

After Lin Chen shattered Zhuang Qiang's spear, he turned around suddenly, his right palm heading straight for Shen Tao with the momentum of wind and thunder.

Shen Tao saw Lin Chen strike, his blade momentum changed instantly, he swung several blades, several blade lights swept over, and at the same time, his figure also retreated while swinging the blade.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Under Lin Chen's whistling palm wind, the blade light shattered upon contact.

Bang!

The terrifying palm wind fell; at this moment, Shen Tao also experienced how much pressure Zhuang Qiang had endured earlier.

"This is what you forced me to do!"

Seeing Lin Chen completely unaffected by his blade light, Shen Tao took a deep breath, his face carrying a look of determination; all Qi and blood condensed on the blade body; at this moment, the long knife blade soared, and the coldness was biting.

"Vibrating Blade Slash!"

Shen Tao shouted, this strike swung out, his whole person's face instantly became pale, the blade light was like substance, wherever it passed, the ground was directly torn open, instantly appearing with huge cracks.

Everyone at the scene was shocked by the momentum of Shen Tao's strike; Yun Zhongjin's expression was serious: "I can't take this strike."

Lin Chen saw the momentum of Shen Tao's strike, but let out a loud laugh; this was somewhat interesting.

That Zhuang Qiang was just relying on the spear being second-rank; in terms of real strength, there was still a not-small gap from Shen Tao.

When the blade light shone on his face, Lin Chen's right hand finally lifted, and his entire body's Qi and blood condensed at his right hand at this moment.

Pointed out with one finger!

The moment the Canglan energy shot out from his fingertips, Gao Yongsi and Liu Yue's pupils contracted sharply; this finger made a sense of crisis arise in both their hearts.

A finger without any fancy, that ice-blue light as thick as a finger compared to the light that split the earth, was no less than the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

But the moment this ice-blue light collided with the blade light, it broke through the blade light in pieces like a hot knife through butter.

In the blink of an eye, the ice-blue light cut the blade light in two, and in the unbelievable gaze of everyone, it fell on Shen Tao's chest.

Shen Tao lifted his knife to block, but the blade body instantly cracked, directly shattering, and couldn't even stop this ice-blue light for a single breath.

The scene was silent!

Three breaths later.

Shen Tao spat a strand of fresh blood from his mouth, and a fist-sized blood hole in his chest was gushing blood outward.

Shen Tao was defeated, but the price of defeat was losing his life.

When they saw Shen Tao's body fall to the ground, everyone at the scene finally woke up like a dream, and everyone looked at Lin Chen with fear and awe this time.

Too strong!

It was completely crushing.

One against two, one dead and one disabled.

If it were just ordinary ranked martial artists, that would be fine; Zhuang Qiang was the number one of the Zhuang family's young generation, holding a second-rank spirit weapon; even facing an eighth-rank martial artist, he wasn't without the strength to fight.

Shen Tao, needless to say, was a powerhouse on the Earth Rank, also having strength not inferior to an ordinary eighth-rank martial artist.

The two joined forces and were defeated by this person lightly.

"From beginning to end, he didn't use a spirit weapon; could he be an eighth-rank martial artist, and not an ordinary eighth-rank martial artist, at least among eighth-rank martial artists, he belongs to the top existence."

Yun Zhongjin's figure trembled; he compared the situations of the few geniuses he knew and heard of with the one in front of him, but he couldn't match them at all.

The top three on the Earth Rank, whether it was the cultivation technique or appearance, didn't match.

"Who exactly is this person?"

This was Yun Zhongjin's doubt, and also the doubt of everyone at the scene.

A genius of this level absolutely couldn't be a nobody.

Liu Yue looked at the silent scene, a smile appearing on her pretty face: "Thank you, Young Master Lin; leave the rest to me!"

She now believed Lin Chen's words; with him there, no one could join forces with Gao Yongsi.

Since that was the case, she didn't need to hold back anymore.

"Eighth on the Earth Rank?"

From today on, there will still be someone eighth on the Earth Rank, but it definitely won't be Gao Yongsi.
