Chapter 394: Chapter 394 Do You Know the Consequences of Being Shameless?

"Defeat me? Haha, you really think too highly of yourself."

"With just your Seventh Layer of Melding Earth Realm cultivation, this old lady could beat you with one hand tied behind her back within three rounds."

The sultry beauty looked at Lin Chen with a tone of disdain.

In her eyes, Lin Chen’s cultivation was laughably weak. She believed that with such cultivation, him participating in the Formation Sect’s recruitment competition was simply seeking his own humiliation.

"Is that so? Then let’s give it a try."

Seeing that his opponent, like those who had challenged him before, did not take him seriously at all, Lin Chen immediately spoke up.

The onlookers around them immediately shook their heads, thinking to themselves that these folks were about to suffer once again.

"It seems she hasn’t realized what kind of terrifying person she’s provoked."

"Do you think these people will also be defeated by Lin Chen in one move just like the others before?"

"Not necessarily. Their cultivation is stronger than those who challenged Lin Chen before. They might last a bit longer, but the chances of defeating Lin Chen are slim to none."

The surrounding onlookers whispered among themselves, and their words fell into the ears of a middle-aged man.

He immediately couldn’t help but cast a glance at Lin Chen, his instincts telling him that Lin Chen was not someone to be trifled with.

However, he also knew the temperament of the fiery beauty and understood that it was impossible for her to back down now.

"Kid, I’ll just stand here. If you manage to hurt me, then you win."

The sultry beauty stood with her hands on her hips, still looking at Lin Chen with utter disdain.

In her opinion, with Lin Chen’s level of cultivation, even if he used all his strength, he probably wouldn’t be able to break through her Spiritual Power Defensive Shield.

Whoosh whoosh—

As soon as she finished speaking, a fiery red shield appeared around the hot-bodied beauty.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t say any more. With a flicker of light in his hand, the Flowing Light Sword appeared.

"That guy was right, you really do have some decent treasures on you. This one must have reached the Earth-Level Mid-Grade."

Hong Lan looked at the Flowing Light Sword that appeared in Lin Chen’s hand and immediately her eyes brightened, showing a fervent expression. As a swordsman herself, she recognized just how extraordinary the sword in Lin Chen’s hand was.

She was already imagining the scene where Lin Chen would hand over the Flowing Light Sword to her after a while.

"In that case, be careful."

Lin Chen kindly warned her, not because he wanted to be ruthless, but because this voluptuous woman in front of him was practically seeking her own death. Since that was the case, she couldn’t blame Lin Chen for what was to come.

Zing—

No sooner had his voice faded than the sword in Lin Chen’s hand was already in motion.

A streak of Sword Light was released by Lin Chen, flickering before everyone’s eyes. They all saw the moment Lin Chen made his move, but were unable to make out the swordsmanship behind the Flowing Light Sword’s movement.

Boom—

A sound of breaking Spiritual Light echoed in front of Hong Lan. The Spiritual Light Shield in front of her shattered instantly, releasing a powerful burst of energy.

"What!?"

The powerful shockwave caused Hong Lan to stagger back several steps. A series of cold cuts appeared on her body, and her fiery red dress was suddenly marked with numerous fine sword slashes, exposing the flesh underneath along with fresh blood.

"Sister Lan, are you alright!?"

"This guy’s swordsmanship is so fast, I didn’t even see it clearly."

The delicate woman and the other two men hurried over to Hong Lan’s side, asking with concern, while looking at Lin Chen with disbelief.

They had not seen Lin Chen’s sword strike clearly.

"You’ve lost."

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Hong Lan, and out came his calm voice.

It was Hong Lan who earlier had stated that if Lin Chen inflicted any injury on her, she would concede defeat.

"You, you’re talking nonsense, I haven’t lost."

Hong Lan retorted through gritted teeth, utterly refusing to acknowledge her defeat to Lin Chen.

Not just the always haughty and proud her, but probably any Heaven-reaching Realm expert would find it hard to accept being wounded by a single sword strike from Lin Chen, whose cultivation was clearly much lesser than their own.

"You want to renege on the deal?"

Lin Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. It wasn’t the first time he had encountered someone who clearly lost according to the terms of the wager yet refused to admit defeat.

And their end outcomes were never good, just like the thick-browed burly man before, who eventually was left in nothing but his underwear.

"So what if I renege? I want to see just how formidable your swordsmanship is."

As Hong Lan spoke, a sword appeared in her hand and she thrust it toward Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen’s expression immediately soured, and he swung his sword again, countering the Sword Light from Hong Lan’s blade.

Countless Sword Qi scattered in all directions as the two exchanged blows, with the sound of their clashing swords echoing nonstop, their hands moving faster and faster.

Before long, the woman was gasping for breath. Despite her unfathomable swordsmanship, she couldn’t get the upper hand against Lin Chen, and he consistently suppressed her.

And from beginning to end, Lin Chen remained as nonchalant as a breeze.

Zing—

Another sword strike, the sound of the blade ringing out. The woman’s sword was sent flying by Lin Chen, skittering across the ground and trembling with the reverberation.

"Your sword is no longer in your hands. How do you expect to continue fighting with me?"

With a slash of his sword, there came a ripping sound, and the woman’s gown was instantly severed by the Sword Qi, turning it into a short skirt.

The woman halted in her steps, her face showing disbelief as she looked at Lin Chen.

Her fist couldn’t help but clench. She had always been highly confident in her swordsmanship, believing that no one within the same realm could best her with the sword.

Yet now, not only had Lin Chen defeated her, but he had also flung her sword from her grasp, amounting to a humiliation of the highest order for Hong Lan.

"I lost?"

The woman’s eyes began to well up, unable to accept the outcome internally.

"No, I haven’t lost. If you think I’ll concede defeat, that’s impossible. Just kill me if you dare."

The woman clenched her fists tightly, her mouth stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat even though the reality of her downfall was laid out before her.

"Do you know the fate of those who cheated and refused to admit defeat at my hands?"

Lin Chen looked at the woman with an icy gaze, his voice cold as he spoke.

"If you don’t know, you can ask them."

Lin Chen glanced at the surrounding spectators.

At that moment, upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the spectators’ eyes lit up, and all the men’s gazes heatedly fell upon the woman.

"Young Master Lin Chen, strip her bare, just like you did with that thick-browed burly man that day."

"No, don’t even leave her underwear this time."

"..."

The surrounding crowd shouted loudly, their eyes roving over the woman’s body.

"You..."

Hong Lan, upon hearing the words of the crowd, understood the fate that awaited those who disregarded the rules of the contest and cheated.
