"Poof!"
Zhao Peng spewed out a mouthful of blood as he faced the overwhelming pressure.
His pupils were filled with endless fear and horror. As he looked at the figure approaching him, Zhao Peng experienced the fear of death for the first time.
He tried to escape, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move a finger.
For a Holy Beast Crystal, I never expected to risk my life for it!
Zhao Peng regretted it deeply.
However, it was too late to turn back now.
"I didn't want to cause trouble, so when Chen Han and He Guan provoked me outside the courtyard, I didn't fight back or talk back until they humiliated my sister... You probably don't know that my sister and I depend on each other, and she's the only relative I have."
Lin Chen recounted this calmly.
Zhao Peng's heart was filled with panic. He frantically searched his mind for a way to escape.
"And you dared to attack my sister, which is even more unforgivable!"
Lin Chen took a step forward, clenched his fist, and punched Zhao Peng hard in the chest.
In that instant, Zhao Peng's heart shattered.
Of course, Zhao Peng wouldn't die immediately with his heart shattered.
He could only wait in endless pain for the final moment of death.
"Killing you won't be enough to vent my anger. I'll find time to destroy your heinous family. After all, you and your uncle are both scum, and your entire family is scum. The best way to deal with scum is to exterminate them!"
Lin Chen looked down at Zhao Peng condescendingly, much like the way he had looked down at him from atop Black Feather's back.
"Poof!"
Zhao Peng wanted to retort, but the intense pain made him almost faint.
"I'm just an ordinary outer disciple. I only wanted to cultivate in peace. Anyone who wants to disrupt my peaceful life will die."
After saying this, Lin Chen turned and left.
Only Zhao Peng was left struggling in a pool of blood.
Devil!
This man is a devil!
After a few breaths, Zhao Peng died in excruciating pain.
Lin Chen walked over with a basket of vegetables in his hand, a bright smile on his face. "Sister, I'm back."
In the courtyard, Su Yuwei and Lin Ning'er were chatting and laughing.
Lin Ning'er held the sword that Su Yuwei had given her and swung it around.
"I like this sword more and more. It feels like I have a connection with it!"
Lin Ning'er yearned, "I really want to cure the cold poison as soon as possible so that I can practice swordsmanship! By the way, Su Su, you said before that I would become a powerful sword cultivator. Is that true?"
"It's true."
Su Yuwei looked at her lazily and took a sip of wine. "This is the eleventh time you've asked. Are you this insecure?"
Lin Ning'er blushed. "I don't have much confidence, and I don't know how to practice... Also, who will teach me swordsmanship then? You don't seem to know swordsmanship."
"It's in the books. Learn it yourself."
Su Yuwei's pretty face was slightly flushed from drinking.
The two women sat in the pavilion, each beautiful in their own way.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lin Chen had no choice but to sigh and go to the kitchen to prepare food.
Since they had no one to take care of them since they were young, and their grandfather was mysterious and missing all day long, Lin Chen and his sister, Lin Ning'er, were both good at cooking.
Lin Chen cooked a meal for three.
The food was served.
"I didn't know you could cook."
Su Yuwei raised an eyebrow, obviously curious.
Lin Chen introduced each dish one by one. "Senior Sister, this is the spirit rice I bought especially for you. It contains spiritual energy! And this wine, specially bought for you at a great price, has been aged for ten years!"
"Not bad, you still have some conscience."
Su Yuwei's beautiful eyes narrowed, as if there was a smile in them, but the angle of her lips was too small.
However, compared to her initial indifference and laziness, Su Yuwei was obviously more talkative now.
"Did the grocery shopping go smoothly today?"
Su Yuwei asked casually.
Lin Chen smiled knowingly. "It was okay, it went pretty smoothly."
He knew that she was asking about the process of killing Zhao Peng.
As he entered the courtyard, Lin Chen noticed a lingering aura of goodwill near the courtyard.
He guessed that it should be the escort that Su Yuwei had arranged for his sister.
She had helped his two siblings a lot, and the only way they could repay her was to cultivate diligently.
"Su Huanxue has made another breakthrough."
Su Yuwei mentioned casually, "She must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter. She broke Fengjian Sect's long-standing cultivation record. Now, she and Chen Lingfeng are regarded as the golden children of Fengjian Sect. Even Feng Yu's momentum has been suppressed."
Lin Ning'er's smile froze, and she quickly glanced at Lin Chen.
She knew how much her brother hated Su Huanxue.
This Su Su must have said this in front of her younger brother on purpose.
"Yeah, I really look forward to meeting them."
Lin Chen took two mouthfuls of rice, showing no emotion on his face.
Now, his mind was very clear, and he was following his own path of cultivation.
He didn't care about the luck of others.
When the battle comes, it will be obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.
"That Chen Lingfeng is quite formidable. His behavior is very mysterious, and his background is completely unknown. I think he's not from the Five Kingdoms."
Su Yuwei put down her rice bowl, took a sip of wine, and exhaled like an orchid. "There will definitely be a battle between Fengjian Sect and Lihuo Sect!"
"Don't worry, the sect will win with me here."
Lin Chen waved his hands confidently.
"Lin Chen, I'm hungry!"
As soon as he entered the training room, he heard Tun Tun complaining.
After unblocking the fifth level, Tun Tun's appetite increased greatly.
Lin Chen had no choice but to apply for spirit jade from the treasury several times before he could barely keep up with it.
However, although he had a big appetite, his cultivation speed was also very fast!
Peaceful days always passed quickly.
Three days later, when the news of Zhao Peng's death reached the sect, Lin Chen clearly felt that the atmosphere in the sect had changed.
Especially among the outer disciples, everyone would make a detour when they saw him.
All the outer elders looked at him strangely.
Xu Kun came to see him several times, asking for some valuable information.
Elder Zhao went crazy and wanted to attack his courtyard directly, but was repelled by Lian Qing.
Lin Chen sighed. A peaceful life is indeed hard-won.
Every day is worth cherishing!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the sect competition.
In the three months from joining the sect to the competition, many things had happened within and outside the sect.
First, Lin Chen's bell rang five times, causing dissatisfaction among many outer sect disciples. Then, He Guan and Chen Han challenged him and were ambushed outside the sect. Then, Lin Chen entered the inner sect and defeated Zhao Peng. Finally, Zhao Peng came to ambush him and was killed...
This series of events had severely tested the hearts of those outer disciples.
At noon, the Lihuo Sect Square was crowded with people.
Hundreds of outer disciples gathered in the square, waiting for the sect competition to begin.
Lin Chen arrived last, a look of shame on his face.
He repeatedly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I overslept."
However, no one dared to speak ill of Lin Chen.
