Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1619: Chapter 1620: Reunion with the Short-Legged Tiger

The next day, a ray of sunlight streamed through the window lattice.

With the official start of the competition, Xuanling Island also became lively.

”Knock, knock, knock!” A series of knocks on the door startled Lin Chen from his meditative cultivation state.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, golden light surging.

After a night of cultivation, he had absorbed a significant amount of Spiritual Energy and was now only a step away from the mid-level Immortal Monarch Realm.

Lin Chen opened the door to find Xu Wei standing there.

Today, she wore a sheer gauze garment, her long hair tightly tied behind her.

In the morning sunlight, her fair skin beneath the gauze was tantalizingly visible.

”Young Master Lin, the competition is about to begin,” Xu Wei said shyly, looking at Lin Chen.

All last night, Xu Wei couldn’t sleep well, with only one figure in her mind, Lin Chen.

Therefore, seeing Lin Chen today, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

”What’s wrong, why is your face so red?” Lin Chen asked curiously.

”Nothing, perhaps I’m just a bit nervous about the competition starting,” Xu Wei said awkwardly.

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, ”Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

”Mm!” Xu Wei nodded vigorously.

Lin Chen and Xu Wei walked side by side towards the martial stage.

At this moment, the streets of Xuanling Island were bustling with people.

Many wore expressions of excitement.

Lin Chen and Xu Wei joined the crowd and arrived at the martial arena.

Overnight, the dozens of martial stages from yesterday had disappeared, replaced by a massive martial stage.

Surrounding the martial stage were the audience seats.

The audience seats were packed, with crowds densely seated.

Before the competition began, there were exhibition matches.

The so-called exhibition matches were sparring sessions between Martial Artists.

Of course, these Martial Artists were those eliminated in yesterday’s competition.

They showcased their skills in hopes of being noticed by some families and becoming retainers.

”Lin Chen, there’s an elder position available in our Xu family, are you...” Xu Guang began to say.

”I have some matters to attend to, I won’t be staying here long, so...”

Although Lin Chen didn’t explicitly state it, it was a gentle refusal.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, both Xu Wei and Xu Guang showed disappointment.

However, they also realized that Lin Chen was like a dragon, and the shallow waters of Xianyin City couldn’t contain him.

As they were talking, Xu Guang’s gaze suddenly turned cold, flashing with intense killing intent.

Following Xu Guang’s gaze, Lin Chen immediately understood why Xu Guang was so angry.

The people who appeared were from the Sun family, and according to the Xu family’s investigation, Xu Yun had been crippled by the Sun family’s Martial Artists.

However, lacking evidence, the Xu family couldn’t act.

The Sun and Xu families had always been sworn enemies, and this time, the Sun family aimed to oust the Xu family from the four great families.

Lin Chen’s gaze rested on the Sun family members.

The Sun family had two fighters, one with a ghost-headed saber on his back and a scar on his face.

”Lin Chen, that person is Sun Bai of the Sun family. His ghost-headed saber is notorious for its bloodthirsty nature,” Xu Guang introduced.

”Mm!” Lin Chen nodded but his gaze shifted to another figure.

This person was short and stout, carrying a thick cudgel on his back.

”To encounter him here again.” Lin Chen’s face showed a cold smile.

This guy was none other than Short-legged Tiger.

In the Earth’s plane, this Short-legged Tiger tried to harass Jin Bingbing but was severely injured by Lin Chen, and his senior brother Gao Long also died at Lin Chen’s hands.

The Short-legged Tiger clearly noticed Lin Chen too, his eyes flashing coldly and his smile sinister and terrifying.

Lin Chen sensed a formidable aura from him.

Clearly, this guy must have had some serendipitous encounter recently which caused his power to grow rapidly.

”That guy is called Short-legged Tiger, I’ve heard he’s very powerful even though he just arrived in the celestial realm,” Xu Wei softly introduced.

”Oh, I know that dwarf,” Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

”You know him?” Xu Wei was taken aback.

”The Short-legged Tiger is said to have a complex background. Shortly after arriving in China, he was accepted as a disciple by the Withered Bones Sage. I’ve heard his strength has already reached the high level of the Immortal Monarch,” Xu Wei said warily.

”High level of Immortal Monarch?” Lin Chen’s gaze turned cold.

”According to reports, my Yun’er was injured by him, but we have no evidence,” Xu Guang said through gritted teeth.

”Withered Bones Sage?” Lin Chen furrowed his brow.

”The Withered Bones Sage is a Loose Cultivator, not associated with any sect, living in Ten Thousand Skeleton City. It’s said he practices a sinister Cultivation Technique and has reached the high level of Immortal King,” Xu Guang said cautiously.

”I see.” Lin Chen nodded.

Now, he understood how the Short-legged Tiger could have advanced so rapidly in such a short time.

From his first glance at Short-legged Tiger, Lin Chen sensed a chilling aura.

Clearly, this guy had also learned that sinister Cultivation Technique.

At this moment, Short-legged Tiger actually approached Lin Chen.

With a sinister smile, he said, ”Lin Chen, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. I will kill you and use your head to honor my senior brother.”

Lin Chen squinted his eyes slightly and replied calmly, ”I let you escape in China last time. Since our paths cross again here, so be it. I will send you to meet your senior brother.”

Short-legged Tiger was treacherous and had now cultivated sinister techniques, making them mortal enemies. Naturally, Lin Chen wouldn’t leave such a menace alive.

Listening to the dialogue between Lin Chen and Short-legged Tiger, Xu Guang curiously asked, ”Do you have a vendetta too?”

Lin Chen nodded, ”Don’t worry, I’ll avenge your son for you.”

Xu Guang was overjoyed, quickly saying, ”Thank you, Young Master Lin.”

”But Young Master Lin, be careful when facing this guy. I’ve heard he practices a very sinister technique; anyone who sees his blood eyes loses their combat power. That’s how our Yun’er got disabled, having his tendons severed,” Xu Guang warned cautiously.

Lin Chen nodded, ”Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. This guy’s life is destined to be mine.”

”But...” Xu Wei hesitated, with a strange expression as if wanting to say something.

”What is it? Just speak your mind,” Lin Chen urged in a firm tone.

Xu Wei nodded, ”Young Master Lin, the Withered Bones Sage is known to be very protective. If you kill his disciple, I’m afraid he’ll make a move.”

”Oh, he isn’t here, is he?” Lin Chen asked.

”No, the Withered Bones Sage is currently in seclusion, trying to break through to the Immortal God realm. Once successful, he’ll likely become a formidable figure in the Eastern Ling Domain,” Xu Wei said seriously.

Lin Chen nodded, ”As long as he isn’t here, it’s fine. Once the martial event is over, I’ll leave. Whether or not he comes after me in the future is a problem for later.”

Regarding Immortal Emperor level strength, Feng Jiu had told him before. Back then, Feng Jiu possessed such strength.

The Immortal God realm, able to stir up the seas and skies with a wave of their hand, their Spiritual Power was as infinite as the vast universe.

Although Lin Chen knew that killing Short-legged Tiger would surely bring trouble, the Tiger had touched his reverse scale, and so, must die.
