Chapter 1702 - 1703: Engagement
"Kid, what did you say? You're Yunxue's boyfriend?" Mu Lin looked as if he had heard an extremely funny joke, with a playful expression on his face.
"That's right, I am Mu Yunxue's boyfriend," Lin Chen said firmly, word by word.
"You, fit to be?" After laughing, Mu Lin's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Mu Yunxue didn't speak. She knew that since Lin Chen claimed to be her boyfriend, there was no room for negotiation.
After all, she didn't want to marry Zhao Mubai; now Lin Chen was her only lifeline.
"Whether I fit or not isn't for you to decide. As long as Yunxue likes me, it's enough," Lin Chen said indifferently.
"Yunxue, is what he says true?" Mu Lin stared at Mu Yunxue with cold eyes.
Mu Yunxue bit her silver teeth and nodded, "That's right, Lin Chen is my boyfriend."
"No matter, break up with him now, or else he will die," Mu Lin's eyes flashed cruelly.
"Brother, I have the right to choose my love," Mu Yunxue said excitedly.
"No, you don't. Your life belongs to the Mu family. Whoever we want you to marry, you have to marry," Mu Lin said coldly.
"I'm sorry, Mu Yunxue is my woman, and she won't marry anyone," Lin Chen said coldly.
A sinister look flashed across Mu Lin's face, "Kid, you really want to die?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "What, want to make a move? Considering you're my brother-in-law, I'll go easy on you."
As his words fell, a tremendous aura suddenly emanated from Lin Chen, pressing down on Mu Lin.
The domineering aura was overwhelming, especially since Lin Chen was already at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor level. Under this aura, Mu Lin couldn't move at all and even found it hard to breathe.
"Such a strong aura, what level of cultivation does this kid have?" Mu Lin's expression changed, and he halted his attack.
He knew he was no match for the young man in front of him.
However, despite this, Mu Lin still didn't have faith in Lin Chen.
No matter how strong Lin Chen's strength, he was just one person, but Zhao Mubai had the support of the Immortal Mansion.
"Kid, if you want to humiliate yourself, I won't stop you. Three days from now is Mu Yunxue and Zhao Mubai's engagement ceremony. If you have the guts, come with Mu Yunxue," Mu Lin said through gritted teeth.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'll be there."
Mu Lin left angrily, and a trace of worry flashed in Mu Yunxue's eyes.
"Lin Chen, you..."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Yunxue, rest assured, you are my woman. I won't let you marry that pretty boy Zhao Mubai."
On Earth, Zhao Mubai had suppressed Lin Chen with his aura, almost making him embarrass himself. Lin Chen was ready to settle the score with Zhao Mubai.
At this moment, Li Ling'er also returned.
"Yunxue, I think I just saw your brother," Li Ling'er said.
Mu Yunxue sighed, "He came to force me to marry Zhao Mubai."
"I see." Li Ling'er also sighed; it wasn't her place to interfere in family matters.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'm here. Three days later, I'll come to your house for the engagement."
Hearing Lin Chen's confident words, Mu Yunxue felt a wave of emotion.
Thinking back to her previous scorn for Lin Chen, her face blushed a bit.
Li Ling'er shook her head helplessly, "Lin Chen, don't forget you have a martial duel this afternoon."
Lin Chen chuckled, "Just some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, nothing much."
"You, Blood Blade Sect and the Mu family aren't as easy as you think," Li Ling'er said.
After the three of them finished eating, they headed straight to the martial arena.
Fang City prohibited fighting, but there were no restrictions in the martial arena.
Even if you killed the other, it didn't matter.
This was the place to settle grudges.
When Lin Chen arrived at the martial arena, he found it already packed, evidently because the Mu family had spread the word in advance.
"Why are there so many people?" Li Ling'er frowned.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "It's simple; it seems like the Mu family and Blood Blade Sect want to make an example of me."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Ling'er's face also changed slightly.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chen strode towards the martial stage.
Standing on the martial stage, Lin Chen's gaze swept in all directions.
The seating around the martial arena for spectators was already filled.
The position of the martial stage was just where Lin Chen, Li Tiancheng, and Fang Tianhua had been drinking.
At this moment, the two were indeed drinking at the pavilion.
"Haha, our third brother is truly bold, challenging the entire Blood Blade Sect and the Mu family on arrival," Fang Tianhua laughed.
"Indeed, my eyesight isn't wrong. It seems like the Mu family and Blood Blade Sect will suffer this time, which is good. I've wanted them out of Fang City for a long time," Li Tiancheng said in a deep voice.
After a while, a team could be seen approaching in the distance.
At the forefront were horsemen, two squads of them galloping towards the stage.
The surrounding people hurriedly made way.
"The Blood Blade Sect and Mu family have arrived."
"Wow, not only did Blood Blade Sect arrive, but they came in full force."
The spectators couldn't help but click their tongues, surprised that it took the full force of Blood Blade Sect and the Mu family to deal with one Lin Chen.
Leading the group were the three top experts of Blood Blade Sect: the sect leader, Blood Hand Wang Ying, Vice Sect Leader Mu Bai, and Lu Tao.
Besides the three top experts, the Mu family had also come in force, with their three elders and Sect Leader Mu Wei at the stage.
Each of these people was imposing, with a chilling murderous aura that startled everyone around.
"Brother, you must avenge me, kill that bastard Lin Chen," Mu Bai's brother Mu Qing said coldly from behind him.
At this moment, his face was pale, and his injuries had not yet healed.
He came despite his injuries just to witness Lin Chen's miserable downfall with his own eyes.
With the arrival of Blood Blade Sect and the Mu family, the entire stage was in an uproar.
On the martial stage, Wang Ying stared arrogantly at Lin Chen, a murderous intent in his eyes, "You are Lin Chen?"
Wang Ying, in his forties, had a scar on his face, with eyes gleaming with a sharp light, evidently a decisive individual.
Lin Chen nodded, "That's me."
"Kid, you dare to harm members of Blood Blade Sect. Have you thought about what your fate will be?" Wang Ying said coldly.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I only know what Blood Blade Sect's fate will be. From today, Fang City will have no Blood Blade Sect."
Blood Blade Sect had been a scourge in Fang City, and now that they had provoked him, Lin Chen didn't mind eliminating them.
"What did you say, kid? You're bold. In Fang City, you're the first to boast like this," Wang Ying laughed heartily.
Not only Wang Ying but those around Blood Blade Sect and some spectators laughed along.
In their eyes, Lin Chen's boast was too grandiose.
Blood Blade Sect was not something even City Lord Li Tiancheng dared to say he'd eliminate. A young man in his twenties, how did he have such capabilities?
