Chapter 105: Chapter 105: A Punch That Shocks Everyone

"It seems the young master himself has to make a move."

Li Chu snorted coldly, his movement technique activating as he swung his fist towards Lin Chen to kill him.

"Get out of my way, don’t block my path,"

Li Chu said arrogantly. As he threw his punches, two disciples from the Jade Cauldron Sect who were in the way had to muster their spiritual power to resist. However, they were still turned into a pile of mush by his fists.

"What?!"

"Is this guy a monster? His strength is so terrifying."

Liu Changfeng and the others, seeing Li Chu’s fearsome strength, couldn’t help but feel secretly alarmed, calculating in their hearts that if they were to fight this person, they would also gain no advantage. Luckily, this person’s primary target was Lin Chen.

"With me here, you won’t be able to hurt Junior Brother Lin Chen."

While shocked, Li Caixia also did not back down. She drew her long sword, and a green spiritual light emerged on her body. Then, with the sword in her right hand, the sword light circulated, and she executed a sword technique, which was her signature move, the Green Light Sword Art, that had once slain a Second Tier Transformed Great Demon.

However, upon seeing this, Li Chu only slightly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, snorted coldly, and with a dark spiritual light surrounding his fist, he directly bombarded Li Caixia.

Boom—

As they collided, Li Caixia felt as if she had crashed into a mountain. The terrifying aura of the opponent instantly sent her flying, and the Green Light Sword Art was so easily defeated at his hand.

"Pfft!"

Fresh blood sprayed from her mouth as Li Caixia fell to the ground, eyes filled with disbelief. She was considered outstanding among the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples present, yet she couldn’t withstand a single move from her opponent.

"Beauty, I’ve said that no one can stop me from killing him. Since you’re in my way, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Rest assured, I won’t waste your body after I will refine you into a puppet to accompany me at all times,"

Li Chu laughed wildly, his demeanor not that of a normal person.

Having said that, Li Chu immediately attacked Li Caixia again, his fist charged with a terrifying aura.

This punch, if landed, would most likely spell doom for Li Caixia, who did not even have a chance to reach for her Space Compression Talisman to escape.

Liu Changfeng’s face changed drastically, as the woman he had always admired was about to die before his eyes.

Even though Leng Dong and the others wanted to save her, it was already too late.

The so-called good sisters from the White Phoenix Hall, each of them showed a look of horror at this moment, and some were even so scared that they covered their eyes.

However, just as Li Chu’s fist was about to hit Li Caixia, a black figure stood in front of her, throwing a punch in return. This person was none other than Lin Chen, whom Li Caixia had been protecting all this time.

The enmity between Li Chu and Lin Chen had always been Lin Chen’s own affair, and at this time, it was only natural that he would stand up.

Seeing this, other members of the Jade Cauldron Sect inwardly remarked on how Lin Chen was courting death, daring to rush forward to offer himself up.

If it were them, they would certainly use the Space Compression Talisman Inscription to flee from this place.

Even Li Caixia couldn’t withstand Li Chu’s attack, so how is Lin Chen’s confronting him any different from seeking death?

Boom—

However, when two powerful bursts of Spiritual Power collided, the residual waves dispersed in all directions.

As the dust settled, everyone was shocked to discover that Lin Chen had actually withstood Li Chu’s attack. Although both of them took several steps back, it was clear that Lin Chen had retreated fewer steps.

"You... impossible, you clearly only have the Cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Realm Third Layer, how could you possibly receive my attack?"

Li Chu, seeing that Lin Chen had actually received his attack and was still standing calmly at a distance, was incredibly shocked. In the Black Cloud Sect, he had endured countless poison insects and Yin Sha Qi infiltration to achieve his current Cultivation, enduring pain that ordinary people could not withstand. There were several times when he nearly couldn’t endure and perished.

He blamed all of this on Lin Chen and was determined to personally slay him. Yet now, Lin Chen stood before him with merely the strength of the Spirit Gathering Realm Third Layer, and they had fought to a standstill.

Whether it was disciples of the Black Cloud Sect or those of the Jade Cauldron Sect, the hearts of all present were tremendously shocked at this moment.

They could never have imagined Lin Chen was this strong, and by the looks of it, Lin Chen didn’t seem to have forcefully received Li Chu’s attack, showing no signs of being injured by the Spiritual Power. Could it be that he was stronger than Li Caixia?

Leng Dong’s heart began to feel chaotic. He was secretly relieved that he hadn’t made a move against Lin Chen before. Otherwise, Lin Chen would not have used the Space-compression Talisman to run away, but instead have fought him without falling short, making it difficult to end the confrontation gracefully. He would have had to face Jade Bird Peak’s fury upon returning to the Sect.

Zhang Kaisheng was the most terrified deep down. Recalling the countless times he had provoked Lin Chen, he was grateful Lin Chen hadn’t taken it to heart. Otherwise, he could have been slapped to death by Lin Chen with a single blow.

The people of the White Clothes Hall immediately began to regret agreeing to Leng Dong’s plan to act against Lin Chen. They had decided that no matter what, they wouldn’t cause Lin Chen any more trouble.

If Lin Chen at the Spirit Gathering Realm Third Layer was already this terrifying, how powerful must the ruthless ones at Jade Bird Peak be? They would rather face some resentment from Lin Chen in the Sect later, than to risk their lives.

From a distance, Mu Qingxue watched the exchange between the two, and Lin Chen’s strength also caused a shock to her heart.

She even began to regret that she had betrayed Lin Chen, who had loved her so dearly. If she hadn’t betrayed him, she would now be with him in the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Then she wouldn’t have to bear countless denigrations or endure the inhumane torture at the Black Cloud Sect.

Though her strength might be as high as Li Chu’s, this was all because she received a legacy taught by an elder of the Black Cloud Sect, who inscribed countless Forbidden Curses on her body, making her endure pain no less than Li Chu’s. What’s more, Mu Qingxue had become a creature that was neither human nor ghost.

Although she seemed to be revered in the Black Cloud Sect, people behind her back would gossip about her, saying she had become the elder’s refining pot and that she would never have freedom in her life.

And the affection Li Chu had for her was nothing like Lin Chen’s. As soon as she joined the Black Cloud Sect, Li Chu had pursued Cultivation and completely disregarded Mu Qingxue’s well-being, which couldn’t compare to the three years Lin Chen endured the pain of icy torment to help her open her Sealed Meridians.

Some things are only cherished after they’re lost. If she could choose again, Mu Qingxue would definitely not betray Lin Chen, but now it was too late for regrets.

As for Li Caixia, after a brief moment of surprise, joy overcame her. Good thing she had made the right bet. She had only thought of protecting Lin Chen, of showing him goodwill, but she hadn’t anticipated that Li Chu would be so strong, and even less so that Lin Chen would be even stronger than him.

Even if she could not join Jade Bird Peak in the future, just her act of desperately protecting Lin Chen would command respect in the Sect. After all, she would have the backing of Jade Bird Peak.
