Chu Hao's words left Chen Yun feeling tricked.
"Chu Hao, even if you want to target me, you don't need to go about it this way. Do you think I can't afford to offend you?" Chen Yun said angrily. "He's just an outcast in the land of five kingdoms, while I am the nephew of the Chen family's Patriarch. Don't joke around!"
That furious roar sent shockwaves echoing through the venue.
The entire venue shook violently. The momentum was unimaginable!
Chu Hao sneered. "If that's what you think, I can't help that. But today, I protect him, no matter what. You can go ahead if you don't agree!"
His eyes glinted with a murderous intent.
It didn't seem like he was joking at all.
"Roar!"
Chen Yun looked up at the sky and roared; his eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, nothing could describe his anger.
Chen Lingfeng had been killed right under his nose.
It was all because of his dereliction of duty!
If he couldn't bring the culprit back, he might not be able to keep his own life!
If he returned to his clan, Chen He would definitely make him pay.
He knew his brother very well.
So there was no way out of this.
But looking at Chu Hao, his killing intent was fierce and brazen, as if he would fight to the death if he didn't agree.
This Chu Hao had a reputation in the Eastern Plains.
His name was Chu Hao, known as Madman Chu. He didn't even care about his own life when fighting!
Anyone who ran into him must be prepared for a fight to the death.
"Creak."
Chen Yun clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, looking like he was going to gnash his teeth to pieces.
Feng Bumie was dumbfounded on the side. Lin Chen had been on the verge of death. Neither Su Hongyi nor Su Yuwei had been able to stop Chen Yun's methods. But suddenly the tables had turned. Why had such a sudden change occurred?
Who was this Chu Hao?
Feng Bumie lowered his voice and said urgently, "Master Chen Yun, you can't back down! Do you realize how many spectators there are in the venue? What will they think of the Chen family if you back down!"
Chen Yun's expression darkened, and his fury surged.
"Snap!"
He swung his arm and slapped Feng Bumie hard in the face.
A cruel expression mixed with raging fury appeared in his pupils.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Feng Bumie was forced back several steps by the slap. A tooth flew out, his face was swollen, and his entire body couldn't stop trembling.
He looked at Chen Yun with deep resentment.
Damn it!
Photographer by Chu Hao, he didn't dare to take action against Lin Chen, but he dared to hit me!
How despicable!
Of course, Feng Bumo could only curse in his heart.
His hatred surged and swept through him like crazy, reaching an uncontrollable level.
It was a pity that no matter how angry and resentful he felt, he could only keep it all bottled up inside.
After delivering that slap, Chen Yun seemed to have figured it out. He raised his head to look at Chu Hao and said word by word, "If you protect him today, you will be starting a war with the Chen family on behalf of the Chu family. Chu Hao, can you bear this responsibility? Can you afford this responsibility?"
Chu Hao was a talented young man in the Chu family's younger generation.
And the Chu family was a clan almost as powerful as the Chen family.
The two sides had been fighting openly and in secret all along.
But Chen Yun had never thought that Chu Hao would come to spoil his good plan at this juncture!
That had also made him so angry that he issued a direct threat.
It couldn't be helped. When it came to a fight, it was very likely that he was no match for Chu Hao.
He could only use the clan's power to suppress him!
"Yes, I can bear this responsibility this time!"
Chu Hao laughed loudly. "Chen Yun, that's what I mean. I have to protect him today, even if it means starting a war with your Chen family. You can come up and test my determination. Just take it as our unfinished fight!"
As he spoke, a fierce fighting spirit erupted from Chu Hao's body.
Enveloped in that fighting spirit, the entire venue seemed to transform into an ancient battlefield, with a chilling air rushing toward them.
The terrifying aura exploded bit by bit!
That powerful fighting spirit directly suppressed everyone, making it hard for them to raise their heads.
Chen Yun completely panicked!
What was the relationship between this kid and the Chu family?
Why would the Chu family rather go to war with them than protect him?
Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind at once.
"I'll give you three breaths to decide whether to fight or leave!"
Chu Hao roared, and at the same time, the eagle beneath his feet suddenly spread its wings, creating a huge air current.
"Woosh woosh woosh!"
The strong winds raged, and the air waves blasted toward them, pushing everyone back.
The killing intent in Chen Yun's pupils bloomed madly. "Very good, Chu Hao, I hope you won't regret today's decision!"
After saying this, Chen Yun picked up Chen Lingfeng's body and stood directly on the rock python.
"Whoosh!"
The rock python sped away at an astonishing pace, and vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye!
Once again, the entire venue fell silent!
Had this dramatic show really ended like this?
Chen Lingfeng had been killed, but Chen Yun had actually chosen to swallow his anger!
He was actually so afraid of Chu Hao!
Especially those in the audience; their expressions became extremely complicated after they looked at each other.
Without the Chen family's support, what was the Heavenspan Sect now?
Before the battle even started, so many geniuses had been killed one after the other. The Heavenspan Sect's fighting strength had been weakened as never before.
Feng Bumie had pinned all his hopes on Su Huanxue and Chen Lingfeng.
But the result… was a total mess!
"My name is Chu Hao. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Chu."
Chu Hao rode the eagle and landed in front of Lin Chen, revealing a smile.
He looked completely different from the man full of fighting spirit from before!
"Brother Chu!"
Lin Chen cupped his hands in obeisance. "Although I don't know why Brother Chu would wholeheartedly protect me, I, Lin Chen, will keep this favor in mind!"
No matter what the relationship between the other party and himself, he had indeed lent him a helping hand at the critical moment.
If he hadn't come, Tun Tun would probably have had to forcibly activate his bloodline power.
Killing a thousand enemies would cost you eight hundred men!
"You don't know me, but that doesn't matter. I know you."
Chu Hao smiled, and immediately turned to look at Su Yuwei beside him. "This is my junior sister. We're meeting for the first time!"
Su Yuwei raised her eyebrows slightly, and gave a small nod to the other party's goodwill.
'Junior sister? '
Lin Chen felt a little strange upon hearing that.
Why did he call Su Yuwei that?
"Brother Chu, I still don't understand why you want to help me."
Lin Chen pondered for a moment, and asked softly, "Even if it's an arduous path, you wouldn't offend the Chen family for me."
"Haha, don't worry. We'll talk about it after we go back and after the Heavenly Fire Sect has won the spot for this second-rate sect."
Chu Hao chuckled lightly, then stood with his arms behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Chen Yun, as the referee, deliberately swayed the outcome of the battle and treated the rules as if they were nothing. Now I will take over, and the competition will continue!"
Everyone in the venue was immediately stunned.
But when they thought about it carefully, it made sense.
Even Chen Yun wasn't Chu Hao's match, so naturally Chu Hao was qualified to be the referee!
