"Senior Brother Zhao, Lin Chen has a sister dependent on him. She has no cultivation base and is easy to control. We can capture her and use her to threaten him to hand over the Divine Beast Crystal."
An outer disciple grinned beside Zhao Peng.
Zhao Peng frowned and said coldly, "For an ant like him, how can a good-for-nothing sister with no cultivation be as important as the Divine Beast Crystal?"
"That's not it. He cares about his sister a lot. If we use her to threaten him, he'll definitely hand over the Divine Beast Crystal. Plus, we can avoid a big fight." The outer disciple gave his advice.
"Alright, you talk a good fight." Zhao Peng thought for a while and felt it was reasonable.
His sister was powerless and couldn't cause any trouble, no matter what.
The outer disciple nodded and went to carry out the plan.
...
...
At daybreak, the sky began to turn white in the east.
Lin Chen rode his horse back to the city gate, where a large formation awaited him. Dozens of city guards were scattered around, carefully checking everyone entering the city.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Lin Chen dismounted and walked forward.
"Lin Chen, you injured our city guards yesterday and escaped from Lihuo City. You actually dare to come back!"
Yesterday's squad leader recognized Lin Chen and shouted angrily.
The other city guards drew their weapons and stared at Lin Chen like formidable enemies.
"Guys, don't be so uptight. I had pressing matters yesterday." Lin Chen raised his hands and said, "I'm back to make amends. Please let me in. I'll kowtow to you..."
"Hahaha, I'll wait until you lower your head and admit."
Lin Qi walked over with a cold expression. "You're Lin Chen, right? We're family. For the sake of our shared surname, hand over the Divine Beast Crystal, or else you'll regret it!"
Lin Chen chuckled. "What do you mean by regret?"
"Do you recognize this?"
Lin Qi held up a delicate plate. "Don't say we didn't warn you... Now you must pay the price!"
The moment Lin Chen saw the plate, the smile on his face faded, and his expression changed.
His eyes turned blood-red, full of ferocity, madness, and violence.
"You caught my sister?"
Lin Chen took a step forward slowly, his voice like that of a ferocious beast on the verge of going berserk.
For some reason, the city guards felt a sense of fear.
It was as if a ferocious beast was approaching, its aura causing terror.
Some of the city guards even had cold hands and feet, looking at each other with extreme fear.
Everyone felt as if they were being strangled, unable to breathe or speak.
The terrifying murderous intent made people's hearts race and sent chills down their spines.
Even Lin Qi trembled, feeling like he was being targeted by a peerless beast.
He couldn't help but panic. "Boy, I... I'm telling you, your sister is in our hands. If you want her to live, hand over the Divine Beast Crystal!"
His voice trembled.
"It's over. This kid is going crazy again." Tuntun's eyes widened. "What these people did was wrong, but they went as far as to arrest Lin Ning'er! She's Lin Chen's lifeline. If dozens of them don't die this time, I'm afraid it won't end!"
"Hand over the Divine Beast Crystal, or else..."
Lynch took a step back, cold sweat covering his back.
He gritted his teeth and kept reminding himself that he was just an outer disciple.
"Crack."
Lin Chen took another step forward, causing the ground to crack.
He lunged at Lin Qi like a tiger descending a mountain.
"You dare to mess with Lin Chen? To hell with you!"
Tuntun's eyes narrowed as his body suddenly grew to over three meters tall.
His wooden arms were as hard as spiritual weapons, dragging on the ground and creating two deep ditches, giving off an oppressive aura.
"What kind of spiritual beast is that!" The city guards were horrified.
After the third level of the bloodline was unlocked, Tuntun's body would expand to three meters upon entering combat mode!
Its bark was as hard as iron, and not even spiritual weapons could leave a mark on it.
Tuntun was terrifying!
"Poof!"
Tuntun punched a city guard in the head, killing him instantly.
He moved with lightning speed, left and right, up and down, like a wolf among sheep!
On the other side, Lin Chen's eyes were bloodshot. He used his Dragon Jade Hand to strike Lin Qi in the head.
"You lunatic, how dare you attack us!"
Lin Qi was furious. He raised his arms to block Lin Chen's punch.
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Since you refuse a toast and demand a forfeit, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"Crack!"
Lin Chen's strength was too much for Lin Qi, and his arms were broken.
Then, the Dragon Jade Hand continued to strike Lin Qi's forehead, killing him instantly.
He didn't even have a chance to fight back.
After killing Lin Qi, Lin Chen turned around and grabbed the other squad leader by the neck, snapping it.
On the other side, Tuntun went on a killing spree, and no one could stop him.
In just a few breaths, dozens of city guards were killed, not a single one left alive.
There were many cultivators coming and going from the city.
When they saw this scene, they were all shocked.
This... was too brutal!
Lin Chen wiped the blood from his palms and walked towards the city.
Lin Qi, as the captain of the city guards, would not have the authority to enter the sect and arrest someone.
He Mu had previously mentioned that there was an inner disciple backing Lin Qi.
He must have been the one who ordered Lin Ning'er to be arrested!
"No matter who you are, I will tear you to pieces."
Evil energy radiated from Lin Chen.
With each step he took, the killing intent around him surged!
For Lin Chen, Lin Ning'er was a taboo that no one could touch!
Anyone who dared to hurt his sister would have their entire family killed!
As Lin Chen walked down the street covered in blood, everyone was shocked.
He seemed to have emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, every inch of his body exuding a terrifying evil energy.
How dare he attack the city guards? This guy was too arrogant!
However, when everyone saw the mark between his brows, they immediately understood.
It turned out to be a disciple of the Lihuo Sect!
No wonder he was so bold!
In the distance, two city guard patrollers witnessed Lin Chen's massacre and were so frightened that their legs went weak.
Just as they were about to escape, Lin Chen flashed forward and smashed one of their heads with a punch.
Then, he grabbed the other one.
Fury burned in his eyes.
"Who's behind all this?"
