Lin Chen forcibly cut open Luo Fengping's finger to get the storage ring. Although the finger wasn't severed, Luo Fengping felt waves of intense pain that almost drove him insane.
"Lin Chen!! Why? Why on earth? I never did anything to you, why did you attack
and steal my storage ring?"
After obtaining the storage ring, Lin Chen felt relieved. His purpose for ambushing Luo Fengping was precisely for the storage ring because the previous lesson from Chen Guang was still fresh. Lin Chen decided to strike first and secure the storage ring; this way, even if Luo Fengping breaks the token to exit the secret realm, Lin Chen would have already gotten what he wanted.
"Why? Haha, let
ask you, if you found
fighting with a beast, would you directly attack , rob
of my things, and even take my life?"
Luo Fengping hesitated. If such a situation did occur, and he encountered Lin Chen injured, he would not hesitate to act, capturing Lin Chen alive. If Lin Chen fought back, he'd kill him right there!
He was acting under Ning Yan's orders to capture Lin Chen on sight. Even if Ning Yan hadn't said so, Luo Fengping would have acted, as this would improve his own score and eliminate a competitor. Such ruthless acts were not uncommon for him.
But despite his thoughts, Luo Fengping said out loud:
"Why would I attack you? That's Ning Yan's idea, not mine. I'm not in cahoots with him!"
"Haha!"
Lin Chen obviously didn't believe his nonsense, and coldly replied:
"Anyway, I've already made a mortal enemy of your Sunlight Sect, killing one more ans nothing!"
Luo Fengping shivered at these words. He could tell Lin Chen wasn't bluffing but genuinely intended to kill! Previously, Lin Chen robbed his storage ring causing only minor injuries, not losing a single finger. But, he knew if he stayed, his life might actually be at risk!
Having reached the ninth level of the Divine Warrior, with great prospects ahead, he didn't want to fall by Lin Chen's hand!
After making up his mind and seeing Lin Chen's increasingly cold gaze, Luo Fengping shuddered within. He swiftly retrieved a small token from his waist and said venomously:
"Lin Chen! I'll rember you! The hatred of stealing treasures, we cannot coexist peacefully!"
Without waiting for Lin Chen's reply, he imdiately crushed the token in his hand. A crack in space quickly appeared, swallowed Luo Fengping, and vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, Lin Chen snorted:
"Humph, fortunate for you to run fast! Otherwise, I really wanted to keep you here!"
Truthfully, Lin Chen wasn't eager to kill Luo Fengping; injuring him had already achieved his goal, especially since the storage ring was in Lin Chen's possession. Inside the storage ring were not only the items Luo Fengping acquired in the secret realm but also his entire fortune.
Moreover, if Lin Chen had really killed him, relations between Heavenly Sword Sect and Sunlight Sect would further worsen. Though their current relations were already strained, Lin Chen didn't wish to be the one stirring trouble. Simply defeating or robbing soone, causing them to lose competition eligibility, could be excused as outmatched skill. Killing thereafter, especially when the opponent is gravely injured, is clearly intent to murder.
If Lieyang Divine Emperor kept his eyes on Lin Chen, he'd definitely feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Luo Fengping escape, Lin Chen disregarded the matter; for Lin Chen, facing Luo Fengping now posed no threat. Truth be told, Luo Fengping's own strength was lacking, having just breached the ninth level of the Divine Warrior, with an unstable state. Even killing a ninth level beast was difficult; he even injured himself, granting Lin Chen an opportunity for ambush.
Lin Chen first collected the materials and jade slip from the Wind-Chasing Leopard, then he used Divine Sense to probe Luo Fengping's storage ring, only to be blocked by a soul barrier.
Lin Chen sneered, and his Soul Power lashed out, breaking into the storage ring.
anwhile, appearing on the arena outside, the disheveled Luo Fengping hadn't spoken before spewing a mouthful of blood, his roar echoing in the arena:
"Lin Chen!"
Although the crowd didn't know what transpired between Luo Fengping and Lin Chen, it was obvious Luo Fengping had been thoroughly outwitted by Lin Chen!
The crowd was astonished. Luo Fengping was at the ninth level of the Divine Warrior; even at the initial stage, he could easily crush Lin Chen. So why did things unfold this way? The crowd's curiosity turned toward Lin Chen. Five hours had passed since the start of the competition, yet only two eliminations occurred, both from Sunlight Sect.
Sunlight Sect's Sect Master, Lieyang Divine Emperor, Li Yaoyang's expression was evidently displeased.
Thus far, only disciples from his sect had been eliminated. Previously assuming their numbers were an advantage, it seed this assumption was now thoroughly debunked!
Through the water screen, scenes unfolded, displaying Lin Chen's resolute defeat of Luo Fengping, subsequently snatching his storage ring—ruthless indeed.
Most believed Lin Chen's prowess was impressive but circumstantial; Luo Fengping was wounded when ambushed. Hence, the crowd saw Lin Chen as opportunistic, not particularly strong, and his thods sowhat unscrupulous.
Zhao Xiaohua furrowed her brow, while Zhao Xiaowen beside her asked:
"Sister, is doing this really okay for Lin Chen?"
Eyeing her sister, Zhao Xiaohua quietly but firmly replied:
"I trust Lin Chen!"
Truthfully, the crowd could only see part of the events in the arena. They were unaware of what transpired post-battle between Lin Chen and Chen Guang nor aware of the feud between Ning Yan and Lin Chen that only a few Sunlight Sect disciples knew about.
