Chapter 1719 - 1720: Fearing Neither Heaven nor Earth
Mu Feng looked at the man leading the group, his face dark as he said, "Mu Chun, I've told you before that this land deed was a reward from the old master of the Mu family to me. Why should I give it to you?"
"Since it was a reward, then we have the right to take it back." Mu Chun replied indifferently.
"This estate has caught my eye. I'll give you one day to move out, or don't blame me for being rude." Mu Chun said coldly.
"Mu Chun, this estate was exchanged by my father's life to save your grandfather. What right do you have to take it back just like that?" Mu Yunxue replied coldly.
Back then, Mu Feng was the bodyguard of Mu Chenfeng, the Mu family head. Once Mu Chenfeng was ambushed by enemies at a banquet, and Mu Feng was seriously injured while saving him.
The injuries from that time caused Mu Feng's cultivation to be trapped at the mid-stage of Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, with Mu Feng's talent back then, he would have already reached the peak of Immortal Emperor.
But now Mu Chenfeng is dead, and the descendants of the Mu family have come with the land deed to demand payment.
"Family Head Mu, the Mu family is not someone you want to offend. I advise you to hand over the land deed willingly." The speaker was Zhang Haitao, the son of the Vermilion Bird City Lord.
"Yes, Family Head Mu, don't be ungrateful. Our Mu brother wanting your estate is a blessing for you." Another young man said disdainfully.
This young man had quite a reputation; he was a disciple of the Immortal Mansion named Zhou Datong.
None of these three people are ones he could afford to provoke, especially the elder who is incredibly strong, having reached the intermediate stage of Immortal Emperor.
Mu Feng gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Mu Chun, don't push people too far; this estate was given to me by Master Mu. You have no right to take it back."
"Is that so? You can keep the estate if you let me have some fun with your daughter. I might consider letting your family continue to live here." Mu Chun's gaze locked tightly on Mu Yunxue, eyes glimmering with a lewd light.
"Mu Chun, don't be too excessive." Mu Feng was shaking with anger.
But Mu Chun completely ignored him, focusing his gaze on Lin Chen, who was holding hands with Mu Yunxue.
"Boy, if you don't want me to chop your hand off, let go of that girl. She will be my woman from now on." Mu Chun said lustfully.
Mu Chun was famously skilled at wooing women, his greatest hobby being the collection of beauties.
He had many women around him, but hadn't seen a girl as striking as Mu Yunxue in a long time.
Encountering such a rare beauty, how could he allow her to slip away?
Upon hearing Mu Chun's arrogant words, Lin Chen's gaze sharpened slightly, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile.
Seeing that Lin Chen didn't let go, Mu Chun's face immediately turned ugly, "Boy, I'll give you one last chance to give the woman beside you to me."
Not only did Lin Chen not let go, but he gently embraced Mu Yunxue, his gaze filled with disdain.
"Damn!"
Mu Chun was enraged by Lin Chen's provocative action.
"Boy, you're asking for death yourself." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chun's eyes turned cold, a dagger appearing in his palm as he aggressively stabbed towards Lin Chen's throat.
Lin Chen had no previous conflict with Mu Chun, yet the latter attacked with lethal intent.
As the dagger flew towards him, a trace of coldness flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and just as the dagger was less than a meter away, a powerful force suddenly burst from Lin Chen's body.
"Bang!" The dagger originally aimed at Lin Chen suddenly changed direction, heading towards Mu Chun.
The change was too sudden; Mu Chun was expecting to see Lin Chen's throat pierced and dying on the ground, yet in the blink of an eye, the dagger turned and rushed toward him.
Mu Chun wanted to dodge but had no chance; the dagger, like lightning, directly stabbed into Mu Chun's leg.
Splurt!
Blood splattered, Mu Chun couldn't stand, collapsing to the ground with a thud.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Mu Chun screamed in agony.
Due to his family background, Mu Chun always hurt others; nobody dared to strike him.
This was the first time he was injured, the first time he saw blood, and the intense pain made Mu Chun howl like a slaughtered pig.
Simultaneously, Lin Chen flashed to appear in front of Mu Chun.
"You were trying to take my woman and wanted to kill me?"
At this moment, the elder beside Mu Chun's eyes narrowed, launching a palm strike at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's movement had been too fast, giving the elder no opportunity to save Mu Chun.
Mu Chun was now gravely injured, and the elder knew he'd have a hard time explaining if he returned.
So he thought capturing Lin Chen was the only way to minimize his punishment.
"Old Tian, kill this bastard for me." Mu Chun shouted madly while clutching his wound.
Before Tian Biao's palm reached, a withered hand had already struck his chest.
Bang!
Tian Biao's body was hurled backward, heavily hitting the wall behind him.
Such speed, Tian Biao climbed to his feet, eyes filled with shock.
Just now, he hadn't seen his opponent's move before flying out.
This meant what? It meant the opponent's speed far surpassed his.
How could this be possible!
Seeing the elder now standing before Lin Chen, his face turned incredibly grim.
A peak Immortal Emperor, he was a peak Immortal Emperor.
Tian Biao never imagined there would be a peak Immortal Emperor backing this young man.
Seeing Tian Biao being flung away, Mu Chun's face turned unspeakably grim.
Tian Biao was his greatest support, and now even his support was struck away.
Lin Chen slowly crouched down, looking playfully at Mu Chun.
At this moment, Mu Chun's face was full of fear.
"Boy, Mu Chun belongs to the Mu family. You better be careful…" Zhang Haitao said.
Slap!
Before Zhang Haitao finished, a crisp slap echoed.
Bang!
Zhang Haitao's body flew sideways, crashing to the ground.
"Is this a place for you to talk?" Lin Chen said coldly.
Then, Lin Chen's gaze turned to Zhou Datong.
"Will you kneel voluntarily, or shall I help you kneel?" Lin Chen said coldly.
Zhou Datong's face showed a struggle, his gaze fearful as he looked at Mu Chun, kneeling and bleeding profusely.
Mu Chun's background and strength far surpassed his, and now he knelt before Lin Chen; what shame was there in kneeling?
Thinking this, Zhou Datong's legs weakened, and he fell to his knees.
Only then did Lin Chen nod, saying to Mu Chun, "How much do you think your life is worth?"
Mu Chun's face turned pale, "Boy, I'm from the Mu family…"
Splurt!
Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen had already pulled the dagger from his leg.
Splurt!
The next moment, Lin Chen's dagger stabbed into Mu Chun's other leg.
"I know you're from the Mu family, so I won't show mercy." Lin Chen said coldly.
"You…" Seeing the ice-cold look in Lin Chen's eyes, Mu Chun was finally scared.
He realized, this time he had met a madman—one who feared neither heaven nor earth.
