Petty Gambler

Chapter 1516: Lin Chen's Killing Intent


"I say you don't have the ability, and you don't. Otherwise, you can try." Lin Chen looked at Qiu Yue and said calmly.


"Hmph, I said I wouldn't attack you, and I won't change my mind unless you really do something heinous that the world cannot tolerate. In that case, I will kill you." Qiu Yue looked at Lin Chen and said coldly.


"So, if I were to do something heinous, even if it meant bearing the name of betraying your master and ancestors, you would kill me?" Lin Chen looked at Qiu Yue and asked calmly.


"That's only natural. Such a heartless monster, not only I, but all righteous factions would execute them. So even if you were one, I would bear the name of betraying my master and ancestors to attack you." Qiu Yue looked at Lin Chen and said in all seriousness, appearing extremely earnest.


Upon hearing this, Lin Chen did not continue discussing this topic with Qiu Yue. This woman's temper is big and she acts righteously, but that might not be a good thing.


In this cultivation world, having a sense of justice, if not paired with sufficient strength, will only bring endless calamities upon oneself.


However, seeing her righteousness, Lin Chen chose not to argue with her about these things.


"How much do you all know about this Lin Chen? Who exactly is he?" At this moment, Tan Yu had a solemn expression as he came to Tan Yingping's side and asked.


He noticed how Qiu Yue treated Lin Chen's words as commands, making him increasingly suspect that Lin Chen's identity was not as Tan Yingping had said, merely someone from a remote place, but must have another identity.


It's important to know that Qiu Yue is Wang Tong's direct disciple. Even those inner sect disciples of Yunlong Heavenly Palace are beneath her notice, so why would she be so obedient to Lin Chen?


Moreover, seeing Lin Chen and Qiu Yue talking in the distance, Tan Yu tried to understand the content of their conversation by releasing his Soul Power, yet this attempt shocked him greatly, for as soon as his Soul Power approached within ten miles of Lin Chen and Qiu Yue, it encountered an incomparably powerful barrier, preventing his Spiritual Sense from getting any closer.


It should be noted that for the other party to do this, their Soul Power must be above his.


"Young Master Tan Yu, this kid indeed comes from a remote place. I can assure you that what Young Master Tan Yingping said is not false because I have visited his hometown." Lei Hao stepped forward at this moment and said to Tan Yu.


Regarding Lin Chen's identity, Lei Hao knew more than anyone. In the Eastern Domain, such a remote place has no powerful sects, not even a Creation Realm expert.


Lei Hao, always proud and aloof, had always looked down upon people like Lin Chen, yet hearing Tan Yu's words now, he also started to suspect if Lin Chen had another identity.


If Lin Chen was just someone with exceptional talent, even though Lei Hao couldn't deal with him within Yunlong Heavenly Palace, as soon as Lin Chen left, Lei Hao had countless methods to kill him.


After all, no matter how talented Lin Chen was, he had not yet fully matured.


However, seeing Wang Tong's direct disciple Qiu Yue showing such immense reverence and obedience towards Lin Chen made Lei Hao uneasy. Could it be that Lin Chen had gained favor within Yunlong Heavenly Palace, elevating his status to the point that even someone like Qiu Yue respected him?


If that's true, it wouldn't be good for him and the Flying Crane Sect, giving Lei Hao a strong sense of crisis.


If Lin Chen truly had connections with an important figure in Yunlong Heavenly Palace, even threatening Lin Chen with the Jade Cauldron Sect might have no effect in the future.


Therefore, Lei Hao had secretly decided that dealing with the Jade Cauldron Sect and Lin Chen could not be delayed any longer.


As soon as he leaves the ruins, he'll have his father mobilize the Flying Crane Sect's power to quickly eradicate the Jade Cauldron Sect and lure Lin Chen back to the Eastern Domain for an ambush.


If Lin Chen is allowed to grow, it will be a problem for the Flying Crane Sect in the future.


While Lin Chen was currently conversing with Qiu Yue, his Spiritual Sense covertly eavesdropped on Tan Yu's side of the situation.


Tan Yu's Spiritual Sense could not hear their conversation, but Lin Chen's Soul Power surpassed Tan Yu and his group, allowing him to hear their conversation.


At this moment, hearing Lei Hao mention the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen's expression immediately turned cold as he glared at Lei Hao and his group, filled with murderous intent.


The Eastern Domain and the Jade Cauldron Sect had always been Lin Chen's greatest secrets and his reverse scale. If malicious people discovered the existence of the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Eastern Domain, the people most important to Lin Chen would be threatened. This was something Lin Chen did not want to see.


Therefore, anyone who touches his reverse scale must die!


If it were merely Lin Chen's enemies, Lin Chen might consider letting them off if they ceased to offend him. Lin Chen might not hold a grudge.


After all, as his cultivation grew, those who had enmity with Lin Chen would soon be terrified upon seeing his strength.


But if anyone set their sights on those close to Lin Chen, no matter who they were, Lin Chen would never let them go; he wouldn't keep these hidden enemies that could go after his family.


Whoosh——


Lin Chen's eyes, filled with killing intent, locked onto Lei Hao.


The murderous intent rose, and Lei Hao must not be spared.


A sharp sword suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's hand, and in the next instant, Lin Chen transformed into a streak of purple lightning, using Thunder and Lightning Flight Technique, appearing in front of Lei Hao in just a few breaths, slashing his sword down towards Lei Hao's head.


Lei Hao sensed a powerful killing intent cutting towards his neck and became extremely flustered.


Realizing the instant danger, it was too late to escape. Lei Hao's heart was filled with terror, never expecting Lin Chen's movement technique to be so fast, actively seeking to kill him.


Clang——


Fortunately, Chen Qing was beside Lei Hao, and Chen Qing had recovered quite a bit of strength.


When Lin Chen's sharp sword sliced towards Lei Hao, Chen Qing drew his sharp sword, countering Lin Chen's attack.


The clash of the two sharp swords produced an earth-shattering sound, with a storm of Sword Qi spreading outwards centered on the two.


Boom——


Though Chen Qing raised his sword to defend, she couldn't withstand the power in Lin Chen's sword at the moment.
