Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1828: Chapter 1829: Seizing the Cave Residence

As soon as Lin Chen stepped out of the cave, he saw two men standing not far away, hands clasped in front, while scattered around the entrance were numerous shattered stones, seemingly broken from a massive boulder, which explained the earlier loud noises.

The two men appeared to be middle-aged, one tall and the other short, both wearing gray robes that Lin Chen recognized as the attire of outer sect disciples.

Lin Chen frowned and asked coldly:

”You two, may I know why you smashed my cave?”

Both men smiled, and the tall one spoke casually:

”Kid, you can babble on, but don’t accuse us without evidence! Do you have proof it was us who smashed your cave?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly; it was clear these two were here looking for trouble.

”Oh, if it wasn’t you, then carry on. I’ll activate the soundproof barrier of the cave and let the enforcement team investigate tomorrow!”

After saying this, Lin Chen pretended to leave; once inside the cave and all barriers activated, even if there were storms outside, he wouldn’t know.

The tall and short men exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of hesitation.

The enforcement team mentioned was a group from the Tianjian Pavilion’s enforcement hall, specializing in handling issues disciples couldn’t resolve, such as being bullied or other matters; one could seek the enforcement team, but mocking them on purpose had serious consequences!

This was something Lin Chen had just learned. However, he was merely bluffing to scare the two men, as finding the enforcement team would be truly troublesome!

Sure enough, before Lin Chen could enter, the tall man called out to him again.

”Kid, stop right there!”

Lin Chen secretly sneered:

”Heh, they came to bully yet still want to flaunt their superiority!”

But when he turned around, he showed no expression on his face.

”What do you want?”

The two exchanged a glance, clearly showing the tall man was taking the lead; he frowned and said to Lin Chen:

”Kid, my name is Zhao Wei, an outer sect disciple. You must be new here, and I wanted to move into this cave first. You better obediently give it up, to avoid some pain! But don’t say I’m bullying you; you can move to the 222nd cave of the Huang-class, and avoid exposure to the elements at the very least!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood their intention; they were here to challenge him and seize his cave!

Lin Chen had only recently learned that the higher the cave’s ranking, the more abundant the Spiritual Energy, and the better the Formation’s effect, which naturally led to faster cultivation speed.

So everyone wanted the caves with better rankings, but their number was limited, thus the Tianjian Pavilion established a rule allowing one to challenge the cave’s owner and, if victorious, gain usage rights!

Because Lin Chen was favored by the Sword Bone, his cave’s ranking was relatively good, and someone couldn’t sit still wanting to flaunt their strength to seize his cave!

Upon realizing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but show a cold smile:

”So that’s why, should I thank you then?”

Seeing Lin Chen’s understanding, Zhao Wei coldly snorted and continued:

”It seems you already know my intention, so let’s not waste words—either fight me or obediently surrender your cave, your choice!”

Lin Chen couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

There were rules in the Tianjian Pavilion stipulating that a cave challenge could not disrupt others’ cultivation, and the challenge required the owner’s consent, with the owner able to refuse, but only up to three times.

Even so, it was evident Zhao Wei before him was relying on being a veteran to bully Lin Chen.

Understanding this, Lin Chen didn’t beat around the bush and coldly declared:

”If you want to claim my cave, base it on your strength!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wei’s eyes immediately brightened:

”Good, since you’ve accepted, let’s begin now! Heh, an ignorant boy, you’ll be crying later!”

Lin Chen was unfazed, retorting sharply:

”Bragging now, be careful you don’t lose miserably later!”

Hearing this, Zhao Wei merely sneered contemptuously, leaping to a distance in front of Lin Chen.

”Come on, you’re new, I won’t bully you. I’ll let you make three moves first, don’t hold back, hahaha!”

They thought Lin Chen was just a recently ascended Martial Artist whose strength couldn’t be high, while they had both stagnated at the peak of the first tier Divine Art for some time. Having cultivated Divine Art and Divine Skill, they believed defeating Lin Chen was a simple task.

Listening to Zhao Wei’s arrogant words, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t be courteous.

”Heh, in that case, you’d better be careful!”

With that, Lin Chen’s aura surged, releasing the breath of a peak first-tier Divine Art, astonishing Zhao Wei and his companion.

”To think he’s also at the peak first-tier Divine Art level, it seems he’s truly a talent! But, it’s not much more than that!”

Lin Chen didn’t bother explaining; with a flip of his hand, the Tianyan Ancient Sword appeared.

Then his foot moved, transforming into a phantom as he rapidly charged at Zhao Wei, with his aura elevating, and the Tianyan Ancient Sword erupted with powerful bursts of Sword Qi, an imposing presence!

Lin Chen raised the ancient sword high over his head and then fiercely swung it towards Zhao Wei’s face!

Yet just as the ancient sword was about to strike Zhao Wei, he suddenly released the aura of a peak first-tier Divine Art, with a flash of yellow light beneath his feet, quickly sidestepping to evade Lin Chen’s sword.

”Hmm? Movement technique? It must be the so-called Divine Skill!”

Zhao Wei’s swift reaction surprised Lin Chen slightly, but it wasn’t entirely unexpected.

Seeing Zhao Wei’s smug expression, ready to mock Lin Chen, however, Lin Chen’s eyes shifted, lifting the Tianyan Ancient Sword again, attaching a seven-colored glow to the sword’s body like a flickering flame, diagonally slicing towards Zhao Wei’s waist.

Seeing this Zhao Wei frowned, naturally able to sense the seven-colored flame burning on the Tianyan Ancient Sword looked splendid, but its power seemed quite formidable. He moved his hand, forming a fist, with yellow True Yuan instantly covering his fist:

”Stone-Crushing Fist!”

Clearly, Zhao Wei had committed his strength to this punch, which struck the sword body of the Tianyan Ancient Sword, forcibly halting Lin Chen’s attack.

Just as he thought Lin Chen had exhausted his options, suddenly the seven-colored flame seemed to have a mind of its own, lunging towards his face!

Zhao Wei’s face changed, instinctively sensing that if this strange flame touched him, it would be unpleasant! He quickly extended his other hand, stirring up a strong gust of True Yuan that blew the flame away.

At this moment, another change arose!
