These words immediately caught the attention of people around him.
A disciple slapped his head and whispered, "I remember. Just two days ago, the Fengjian Sect sent three of their geniuses to challenge the Lihuo Sect, but...they were all killed by Lin Chen alone!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
Some disciples looked at each other.
"Indeed, I heard about this as well. At first, I thought it was a rumor but looking at Elder Liu Gu's attitude towards Lin Chen, it's most likely true!"
Everyone whispered to each other.
"Oh, why would I not dare?"
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Does your Fengjian Sect still care about me?"
"Sharp-tongued boy, we shouldn't have shown you mercy and spared your life!"
Liu Gu's expression darkened. He wanted nothing more than to kill Lin Chen right then and there.
One of the three disciples killed by Lin Chen was his own disciple!
That's why he was so furious, of course.
"Really, so I should thank you?"
Lin Chen's face was full of disdain.
At that moment, a figure slowly walked out of the crowd. He looked at Lin Chen with disdain. "Who do I think it is? It's actually Lin Chen, the one who cheated on the Spirit Road and was subsequently crippled. How dare a waste like you show your face before me?"
This young man was tall and handsome with an air of superiority.
He was dressed in black robes, which made his temperament seem even colder.
"Fengyu?"
Lin Chen's eyes slowly fell on him.
There was no intense killing intent, only a hint of...an almost terrifying cold smile. "I don't think anyone understands what happened in the past better than you. I have no need to beat around the bush with a dying man."
At that moment, a fierce glint flashed in the young man's eyes.
All the humiliation and stigma of the past were inflicted by you!
Today, I will avenge it with my own two hands.
Fengyu sneered. "Hahaha, you good-for-nothing. You're so full of yourself. Even your contracted beast died by my hand. What do you have left to fight me with?"
"Creak."
Lin Chen slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes fell to the wolf fang pendant he wore.
'Little Wolf, I will avenge you!'
His little wolf was his brother who had fought alongside him for more than ten years.
After being attacked by Feng BuMie that day, the Little Wolf desperately tried to hold him back so that he could escape.
But Feng BuMie was too powerful!
Lin Chen would never forget the scene of the Little Wolf being killed.
Fengyu, I will kill you with my own hands!
The calmer Lin Chen became, the stronger the murderous intent in his heart.
"Trash, if you enter this ancient tomb, your life or death will be up to fate. Do you dare to come?"
Fengyu took a step forward, his expression arrogant.
He not only harbored resentment towards Lin Chen but also had killing intent.
What he hadn't expected was that this kid had actually regained his strength.
But so what if he had?
This kid's contracted beast was dead. Although he didn't know where he had gotten another contracted beast, it must be far inferior to the original one.
Besides, he was at the peak of the eighth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, so killing him would be a piece of cake!
"You'll find out when the time comes."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.
"Everyone's almost here, so stop talking nonsense."
Liu Gu's face was gloomy. "Let the exploration begin!"
No one in the Tianyu Sect dared to speak out of turn, so they could only nod their heads to indicate that the exploration could begin.
In an instant, dozens of disciples rushed deeper into the valley.
The race to the top had begun!
Among them, Fengyu was in the lead. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he laughed madly. "Lin Chen, I hope you've made some progress these past six months and aren't still the same good-for-nothing that Ling Lu was back then!"
Lin Chen followed behind, his expression indifferent.
Little Wolf, I will avenge you now!
The ancient tomb was in a deeper part of the valley. Many disciples increased their speed, and no one fell far behind.
After all, the earlier they entered, the easier it would be to find treasure.
When Lin Chen had just stepped into the valley, a monstrous murderous intent washed over him from the front.
The attack was so fierce that it stung their faces.
Fengyu held a magic sword and slashed downwards with all his might.
Apparently, he had been waiting in the valley for a long time.
"This moment has finally come!"
Lin Chen's lips curled into a sinister smile. All the emotions he had been harboring erupted at that moment.
A crystal-clear jade light suddenly blossomed in his palm, and he slammed it against the magic sword!
Dragon Jade Hand!
"Boom!"
There was a loud crash, and the force of Lin Chen's fist knocked the magic sword away.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen flipped his hand and struck Fengyu in the ribs with his elbow.
Fengyu used his magic sword to block, but with a loud bang, he was violently knocked back dozens of meters.
"I didn't expect your strength to have increased so much!"
A murderous light flashed in Fengyu's eyes.
Then, he summoned his contracted beast from his contracted beast space.
It was a tier-6 contracted beast, the Octagonal Poisonous Spider.
This spider was completely red and had a total of eight legs, four on each side, supporting its body.
Its legs were covered in a thick, fluffy hair and sharp barbs. The key was that these barbs were highly poisonous!
If these were to make direct contact with a person, it would likely lead to death from the poison.
Faced with the Octagonal Poisonous Spider, Lin Chen directly summoned Tuntun.
"Haha, is this your contracted beast, a little sapling?"
When Fengyu saw Tuntun, he couldn't help but laugh. "Where did you find this contracted beast? It's ridiculous. After getting your old one destroyed by me, did you really stoop to this level?"
"How dare you look down on me!"
Tuntun was furious, and his body instantly expanded to reach a height of three meters.
His figure rushed out like lightning, and he raised his fist and punched Fengyu hard.
His speed was so fast that Fengyu didn't even have time to react.
"Bang!"
A spider leg, as sharp as a sword, stood in front of Fengyu, forcing Tuntun back.
Tuntun sneered and rushed forward again.
His skin was thick and he had a lot of stamina, so even if he was injured by the Octagonal Poisonous Spider's attack, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.
The bark on his exterior was as hard as a spiritual weapon. Even if it was scratched by a sword, it wouldn't leave a mark.
Lin Chen took three steps, then suddenly rushed forward.
A cold, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and punched again.
Fengyu's footwork was agile. After dodging Lin Chen's punch, he thrust his magic sword forward, piercing Lin Chen's lower abdomen.
"Haha, is that all you've got..."
Fengyu laughed. He thought that this move would cause Lin Chen a lot of pain.
But clearly, he had underestimated Lin Chen's body!
When Fengyu looked up, expecting to see Lin Chen's expression of pain, a heavy punch landed on his face.
"Boom!"
Fengyu was struck in the face, and the bridge of his nose broke with a crack.
'How is that possible!'
Fengyu's entire body was trembling. Why was his opponent still able to use such terrifying power after being hit by his sword?
When Fengyu took a few steps back and looked up, he saw Lin Chen reach out to wipe away the blood from the sword wound on his lower abdomen and charge forward again, without fear. Those crimson eyes were like those of a wild beast, filling people with terror.
This kid wasn't afraid of death at all!
