Chapter 1779 - 1780: I Will Kill You
The disciple from the Black Tiger Sect was directly sent flying.
The faces of several other disciples from the Black Tiger Sect changed, and their eyes turned to Lin Chen and his companions.
"Who are you?" one of the Black Tiger Sect disciples shouted angrily.
Lin Chen snorted coldly, "You Black Tiger Sect disciples are really low, using such despicable methods to bully girls."
"I was wondering who it was—so it's Qiao Xue and Shangguan Wan'er. This guy must be your little kept man," a central figure in the Black Tiger Sect said with a sinister smile, staring at Lin Chen.
Just moments ago, he saw the three girls from Jade Maiden Peak looking charming, so he tried to take advantage, only to run into Lin Chen and his group.
However, the man remained unperturbed, showing utter contempt for Lin Chen and the others.
"This guy's name is Zhao Heixiong, brother of Zhao Heihu," Shangguan Wan'er whispered.
"Oh, seems like someone who deserves a beating," Lin Chen snorted.
"Kid, do you know what happens to those who hit members of the Black Tiger Sect?" Zhao Heixiong said coldly.
"What happens? You dare bully our Jade Maiden Peak disciples; giving you a beating is already light," Qiao Xue snorted coldly.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me. I must cripple this guy," Zhao Heihu said coldly.
Qiao Xue snorted coldly, "Is that so? Seems like the Black Tiger Sect is looking for trouble. Well, I'll accompany you to the end today."
As she finished speaking, a chilling aura emanated from Qiao Xue.
"Really? Just the few of you?" Zhao Heihu snorted and whistled.
"Whistling sound!"
Accompanied by a crisp whistle, the sound of wind breaking echoed around.
In the blink of an eye, several figures from the Black Tiger Sect rushed in this direction.
Qiao Xue snorted coldly, "Want a group fight? Do you think our Jade Maiden Peak is afraid?"
As she finished speaking, Qiao Xue waved her palm, and a purple signal flare was shot into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of disciples from Jade Maiden Peak arrived.
Soon, over a hundred people from both sides gathered, and the numbers continued to grow over time.
Seeing this situation, many people clicked their tongues; indeed, the enmity between Jade Maiden Peak and the Black Tiger Sect was deep, as they clashed as soon as they met.
Lin Chen squinted slightly, looking towards the distance.
He saw the disciples of the Black Tiger Sect making way for a path.
At the end of the path, a figure slowly emerged.
The young man had a cold look on his face, "Qiao Xue, I don't want to be enemies with your Jade Maiden Peak, but that guy injured our Black Tiger Sect members. Hand him over, and you can leave."
Qiao Xue stared at the newcomer, her eyes flashing with strong intent to fight, "Zhao Heihu!"
Seeing Zhao Heihu appear, Shangguan Wan'er also felt a pang of tension, her hand tightly gripping her sword.
"Kid, kneel and kowtow to admit your guilt, and I might let you live," Zhao Heihu arrogantly said to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at the opponent, his aura radiating with a brutal bloodlust, extremely powerful, making even those standing several meters away feel their spirits tremble.
"Zhao Heihu, don't go too far. It was clearly your people who bullied our Jade Maiden Peak members first," Shangguan Wan'er said coldly.
"I don't care who bullied whom first. The current result is that our Black Tiger Sect disciples got beaten, so the one who hit them must pay. Otherwise, how can our Black Tiger Sect stand in the martial world?" Zhao Heihu responded coldly.
Hearing Zhao Heihu's words, the disciples of Jade Maiden Peak were all angry.
The Black Tiger Sect's people often provoke the disciples of Jade Maiden Peak because of their looks, sometimes even doing worse things, and now they were twisting words unreasonably.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "I was the one who hit them, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Heihu snorted coldly, "Alright, daring to stand up means you're a man. Since it was you who hit them, I'll give you a chance."
With his mind made up, Zhao Heihu drew a large circle on the ground.
"If you can still stand within this circle after ten moves, I will let the matter go and leave with my people. Otherwise, you leave behind an arm and a leg."
Zhao Heihu's gaze was cold and fixed on Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, don't agree to it! This guy is incredibly strong; you're not his match," Qiao Xue said urgently.
"Yes, Lin Chen, don't fall for it," Shangguan Wan'er also reminded anxiously.
But Lin Chen just smiled faintly, "Alright."
Hearing Lin Chen agree, Qiao Xue and Shangguan Wan'er were initially stunned and then showed a worried expression.
Qiao Xue stomped her foot in anger, "Idiot, are you deaf and didn't hear what we just said?"
"Lin Chen, you can't match Zhao Heihu in strength," Shangguan Wan'er also said anxiously.
Lin Chen looked at the two worried people and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, since I was the one who hit them, let me handle it myself."
Despite their anxiety, Lin Chen had already agreed to the duel under everyone's watchful eyes, so it was too late to go back on it.
"Be careful."
Shangguan Wan'er and Qiao Xue were anxious but had no choice.
Lin Chen stepped out, walking towards the center of the circle to stand face-to-face with Zhao Heihu.
By this time, the area was crowded with people, and the discussions were vigorous.
"Is this guy crazy, daring to test strength with Zhao Heihu?"
"I think this guy is just asking for it."
"What a pity. He hasn't even entered the Heavenly Demon Realm yet, and he's about to be crippled. Truly pathetic."
Voices of sympathy arose, and everyone looked at Lin Chen with sympathetic eyes.
Zhao Heihu possesses ancient divine strength, capable of moving even a mountain, and competing in strength with him is akin to courting death.
"Shangguan Wan'er, I don't know if this man is your lover or whatever, but when I kill him later, don't start bawling," Zhao Heihu's words were met with mocking laughter around.
The Black Tiger Sect's disciples were particularly arrogant.
"Wan'er, it's okay. If your little boyfriend dies, I can be your boyfriend."
Amidst the surrounding laughter, Lin Chen's expression remained unperturbed.
"Lin Chen, please instruct me."
"This guy is Lin Chen?"
The name caused a hush to fall over the surroundings, even Zhao Heihu's expression changed slightly.
Lin Chen's reputation was well-known throughout the Immortal Realm, and everyone present had heard of him.
"So you're Lin Chen. No wonder you're so arrogant," Zhao Heihu sneered coldly.
"I've always wanted to fight you and cripple you personally. I didn't expect you'd deliver yourself here. Originally, I just wanted to cripple you, but now I've changed my mind—I want to kill you," Zhao Heihu said with a cold, sinister smile.
A cold gleam flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, "Let's see if you have the ability."
As the tension between the two escalated, the surrounding crowd held their breaths.
They were curious to see who would emerge victorious between this dark horse suddenly rising in the Immortal Realm and an established powerhouse.
