Woo woo woo...

The eerie wind continuously swept past the ears, penetrating the skin, bringing a bone-chilling feeling.

Ling Chen’s body swiftly passed through, occasionally pausing to collect nearby Yinsha Stones.

In just one or two hours, Ling Chen had already collected more than thirty Yinsha Stones.

This deeper part of Mingyue Cliff is indeed a rich region for Yinsha Stones, and Ling Chen has completed more than half of the trial task in this short period.

At this time, Yuwen Lin, Wei Renjie, and others who entered Mingyue Cliff also arrived in this area.

”Such dense miasma.”

Yuwen Lin waved his hand, dispelling some of the miasma in front, while Wei Renjie quickly handed over a white elixir, saying, ”Brother Yuwen, this is the Antidote Pill. Hold it in your mouth, it’s enough to resist the miasma here.”

Yuwen Lin took the Antidote Pill, put it in his mouth, and then looked around. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he said coldly, ”Someone got here before us and has already collected the Yinsha Stones on the outskirts of Mingyue Cliff.”

”Who could it be? From what I know, our fellow disciples took different routes from us, so they should unlikely get ahead of us.”

Wei Renjie said with a puzzled expression.

”Not other disciples, possibly someone from outside the Sect.” Yuwen Lin’s eyes showed a hint of cold light.

”Someone from outside the Sect?”

Wei Renjie’s eyes slightly narrowed, then he sneered, ”Even better, we can just kill him and snatch the Yinsha Stones from him, saving us from completing the task.”

”He should be nearby, search carefully and find that person for me!”

Yuwen Lin’s eyes gleamed with delight, not wanting to miss such a time-saving and effortless opportunity.

The group spread out slightly, searching like a carpet.

Soon, Wei Renjie noticed a silhouette appearing in the miasma ahead.

He immediately drew the long knife at his waist, pointed it at Ling Chen, and shouted sternly, ”Who are you? Hand over the Yinsha Stones, or you’ll surely die here!”

As he shouted, Wei Renjie approached the silhouette.

However, the silhouette seemed completely unaware of his voice, standing there motionless as if dumb.

”Die!”

Suddenly, a surge of killing intent appeared in Wei Renjie’s eyes, his steps quickened as he fiercely slashed the knife towards the silhouette’s back.

Yet just as the blade was about to hit the opponent, the silhouette suddenly turned around, revealing a very young face that was quite familiar.

”It’s you!”

Seeing the face clearly, Wei Renjie was also taken aback.

He was about to retract his move and retreat, but it was too late.

Ling Chen effortlessly dodged his blade, and then his sword, like a swimming dragon, slashed over at an astonishing speed, leaving a trace of thunder light in the air.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, a flash of blood soared, and Wei Renjie’s whole left arm flew up, accompanied by a scream akin to a slaughtered pig.

Wei Renjie’s face showed extreme pain, he glanced at his empty left hand, with blood gushing out crazily, and his eyes revealed a sense of disbelief.

Despite being one of the Thirty-six Heroes recognized by the Nine-stream Conference, with strength almost reaching Heavenly Pride Level, he was unexpectedly severed an arm with just one sword by Ling Chen.

”Damn it, you dare to cripple my arm!”

The shock quickly turned into intense resentment, Wei Renjie wished to rush forward and chop off Ling Chen’s head, but his mind still retained some sense, as when Ling Chen severed his arm, he also retreated hurriedly.

”Junior Brother Wei!”

At this moment, Yuwen Lin seemed to have heard the scream and rushed over. Seeing Wei Renjie’s severed arm, his face instantly showed a hint of surprise, ”What’s happening, your arm?”

”Brother Yuwen, it’s that kid from Lingyue Island, Ling Chen!”

Wei Renjie, seeing a savior, showed a hint of joy on his face, then pointed at Ling Chen, resentfully saying, ”It’s this kid who severed my arm!”

”Ling Chen?”

Yuwen Lin’s eyes slightly narrowed, then his gaze fell on Ling Chen, ”It’s you, the kid. I didn’t expect you to also arrive at the Demon Dragon Palace. Could it be that Lingyue Island’s disciples also happened to enter this Demon Dragon Palace for a trial?”

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, quickly scanning around, vigilant, clearly afraid there might be other Lingyue Island disciples ambushed nearby.

”That’s right, even my senior, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis, has arrived at this Demon Dragon Palace. Yuwen Lin, if you know what’s good, you’d better leave Mingyue Cliff immediately, or your life may be at risk.”

Ling Chen didn’t mind using the name of the Free and Unrestrained Marquis to his advantage, to scare off Yuwen Lin. If he could defeat the enemy without fighting and make Yuwen Lin leave, that would be the best outcome.

”What, the Free and Unrestrained Marquis is here too?”

Upon hearing the name, Yuwen Lin’s face changed drastically. Although he thought highly of himself, he knew the reality. If faced with the few Divine Marquises ranked lower among the youth, he might have a chance, but facing the Free and Unrestrained Marquis, he could only retreat.

The fame of the Free and Unrestrained Marquis among the youth is truly dazzling.

”Brother Yuwen, don’t panic. There are surely no other people nearby, this kid is just bluffing.”

Wei Renjie, seeing Yuwen Lin seemingly afraid, also quickly spoke.

He wished for Ling Chen to pay for his blood sooner. If Yuwen Lin retreated, who would avenge him against Ling Chen?

”Kid, nearly got bluffed by you.”

Yuwen Lin nodded, calming himself down. The Free and Unrestrained Marquis was not likely nearby. If he were, he would’ve shown himself; with his status and strength, why hide?

”Ling Chen, you’re unreasonably crippling my Junior Brother Wei’s arm, you must pay for blood with blood. Today, I’ll also cripple your hands and feet to avenge my Junior Brother Wei.”

Yuwen Lin’s eyes showed a cold hint, recalling how this kid had made fun of him at the auction before, debts unsettled. Now old scores combined with new ones, he must settle with Ling Chen.

”If you have the ability, go ahead and try.”

Ling Chen feared not even a tandem of Gu Wuqing and Leng Qianshang. Why would he fear Yuwen Lin? He didn’t regard the latter at all, and Ling Chen continued heading towards the depths of Mingyue Cliff.

”Thief, halt!”

Yuwen Lin shouted loudly, showing a smug expression. He thought Ling Chen feared him, hence choosing to flee, and immediately used his Light Skill to chase at full force.
