Zhou Yu's sword was fast and vicious, aid straight at Lin Chen's vital point.
This wasn't swordplay; this was clearly an attempt to kill.
Lin Chen had dealt with Zhou Yu before and had a thorough understanding of his skills.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yu's sword was less than an inch away from Lin Chen.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Even Zhao Xiaowen and the Chu sisters turned pale, unable to bear watching and closed their eyes.
Mu Qiu displayed a cold smile; this was the result he desired.
All the glory must belong to him, Mu Qiu; anyone daring to steal his lilight had only one outco, and that was death.
Zhou Yu was even more smug, not expecting that Lin Chen seed arrogant, but in reality, was just a novice.
The sword was less than an inch away, but the guy still didn't dodge. There was only one explanation: this kid's reputation was all smoke and mirrors.
However, Zhou Yu didn't intend to hold back at all.
This guy dared to get close to the girl he liked, sothing he could not tolerate.
So, even though he clearly had the upper hand, he did not, as initially stated, stop when he made a point, but stabbed directly.
However, as the sword thrust down, his expression suddenly froze.
Because with this thrust, he clearly felt he had struck Lin Chen, but found he had hit nothing—Lin Chen was nowhere to be seen.
How was this possible!
Not only Zhou Yu but everyone's expression changed drastically.
Lin Chen's move was too fast; hardly anyone saw how he dodged that thrust.
What shocked everyone even more was that Lin Chen had sohow already appeared behind Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, watch out!" Mu Qiu exclaid.
Zhou Yu sensed a fierce wind from behind and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
"Bang!"
Lin Chen's kick hit directly between Zhou Yu's legs.
"Ah!"
Amidst a scream, Zhou Yu was directly kicked flying by Lin Chen.
"Boom!"
The entire stage fell into silence.
No one expected it to end like this.
Zhou Yu was among the best of the younger generation in Immortal City. No one had expected this guy to be defeated in one move.
And, Zhou Yu had been holding a precious sword, while that young man had nothing in his hands!
Zhou Yu fell off the stage, writhing in pain on the ground.
Lin Chen looked innocent: "Wow, how weak; I thought you were strong enough to dodge that."
"Dodge? Your speed was so fast, how could anyone dodge?" Everyone was at a loss for words.
At this mont, several servants from the Zhao family hurried over and carried Zhou Yu away for treatnt.
Seeing Zhou Yu being carried out, everyone showed a look of apprehension.
This young man looked so jovial, but his actions were indeed ruthless.
Seeing Zhou Yu kicked away, Mu Qiu clenched his fist tightly in anger.
"This useless fool!"
The Mu Family Head, Mu Yuan, frowned: "Family Head Zhao, who is this kid?"
Zhao Ze also looked puzzled: "I don't know who this person is either. Should I have soone investigate?"
"Never mind; let's focus on the main business." Mu Yuan said.
"Alright!" Zhao Ze nodded.
Lin Chen, having kicked Zhou Yu away, walked off the stage smiling, saying as he walked: "So people are just looking for abuse."
Everyone watching Lin Chen walk down the stage with a smile felt a chill down their spines.
This guy was truly a smiling tiger.
Chu Yan'er was excited: "I knew you wouldn't lose to that pretty boy."
"By the way, Sister Xiaowen, you seed very nervous just now. Do you also like Brother Chen Lin?"
Hearing Chu Yan'er's words, Zhao Xiaowen shivered slightly.
It wasn't also liking; from beginning to end, it was deeply loving Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, smiling, returned to his seat and began to gnaw at an elbow.
"Ah, fighting soone can really be tiring."
Chu Yan'er said speechlessly: "You just kicked him once, and you call that a fight?"
At this mont, Zhao Ze stepped onto the stage.
Clearing his throat, Zhao Ze said gravely: "Everyone, a few days ago, I ntioned having a martial arts tournant to find a suitor. Now, all the families are present, and since today is an auspicious day, I think we should settle the matter today."
"Mu Qiu, co up." Zhao Ze said.
Mu Qiu's face lit up with joy as he quickly walked up.
Zhao Ze nodded: "Everyone, Mu Qiu is ranked among the top on our Sky World Young Talents List, and in Immortal City, he's currently ranked first. I believe no one here can match him."
The crowd nodded in agreent. Indeed, Mu Qiu was an extraordinary talent among the younger generation.
Seeing no objections, Zhao Ze nodded in satisfaction and continued: "Since that's the case, there's no need for tomorrow's tournant. Today, I declare the engagent of Xiaowen and Mu Qiu!"
Everyone below the stage was stunned.
Especially Zhao Xiaowen, whose face suddenly changed color.
She had never dread that Zhao Ze would catch her so off guard.
"Father, I didn't agree to this, what's going on?" Zhao Xiaowen stood up, about to continue.
"Enough, Xiaowen, what's the point of refusing when no one here can match Mu Qiu, and today is an auspicious day? Let's set it for today." Zhao Ze interrupted Zhao Xiaowen.
At this mont, Lin Chen took Zhao Xiaowen's hand: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Then Lin Chen stood up, smiling slightly: "Zhao Family Head, the Zhao family is respected for its integrity. Since it's a martial arts tournant to find a suitor, shouldn't the winner beco Xiaowen's boyfriend?"
Zhao Ze, seeing Lin Chen, frowned: "True, but no one dares challenge Mu Qiu now."
Lin Chen smiled: "I'm sorry, but I would like to challenge him."
Hearing this, Zhao Ze's eyes changed slightly: "Who exactly are you?"
Lin Chen gently ran his hand across his face: "I am your future son-in-law, Lin Chen!"
Boom!
The entire banquet was instantly in turmoil.
Everyone stared at Lin Chen in shock.
Was this kid crazy? Everyone could see that the Zhao family had already decided that Mu Qiu would be their future son-in-law, and yet, Lin Chen dared to claim himself to be the Zhao family's son-in-law. This was a blatant provocation to Mu Qiu.
"So it's you." Mu Qiu's face also darkened as he glared at Lin Chen.
Mu Yuan, noticing Lin Chen's sudden appearance, also beca visibly displeased.
The strength of Lin Chen had been investigated before, even being deed superior to Mu Qiu. Yet today, this person had unexpectedly appeared here.
Zhao Ze took a deep breath, glanced at Mu Qiu, and sighed: "Whether you can beco my son-in-law depends on your ability."
Mu Qiu also stood up at this point. Since today was set as a day for selecting a suitor, there was no need for fighting and killing.
Zhao Ze nodded: "Alright, since that's the case, let's choose so other contests."
Mu Yuan smiled: "Alright, let's compare swordsmanship. Let's see whose swordsmanship is more exquisite."
Hearing about a swordsmanship contest, Mu Qiu's face was filled with confidence. Kid, you're far behind competing against
with swords.
Lin Chen nodded knowingly: "Indeed, in terms of being a jerk, you truly are the best in the world."
