"Then we'll talk once you get the Quinjin Pill. However, if you two insist on making a move against the Long family today, I'm afraid I'll have to fight with all my might!"
As he spoke, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent showing.
No matter what, he had already promised Long Yuling, and how could he go back on his word for profit now?
"Well said, 'fight with all your might.' I'd like to see what a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like you can do to me!"
After receiving Lin Chen's affirmative reply, He Honghui was immediately enraged.
With a wave of his hand, the black cloak from before appeared in his grasp: "Today, I'll let you witness the might of a magical artifact!"
"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, go!"
As he spoke, He Honghui threw the cloak in his hand towards the formation.
The moment the cloak left his hand, it grew rapidly against the wind, instantly expanding to over ten meters wide, engulfing the entire grand formation.
"What's going on? This cloak can actually isolate spiritual energy!"
Feeling the changes around her, Zhang Ying was truly surprised.
Any formation required spiritual energy to support it, but who would have thought that this cloak could now isolate spiritual energy? Her formation wouldn't last much longer!
"It's fine, Senior Sister, just withdraw the formation. Today, let's see how this junior brother of yours slays a Core Formation cultivator with his Foundation Establishment cultivation!"
Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand dismissively.
Since it had come to this, he could only reveal his true cultivation!
After all, even if he revealed his cultivation now, he still had the Golden Dragon Nine Transformations as a trump card, so he wasn't worried about being completely exposed!
"Sword Emerges, Dragon Roars!"
As Lin Chen's aura erupted, the Spirit Snake Sword transformed into a streak of rainbow light, piercing the cloak in front of him and stabbing towards He Honghui not far away.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing his magical artifact actually pierced open, He Honghui was stunned.
This cloak was a treasure he had obtained from an ancient tomb. Although it was slightly damaged due to its age, it was still considered a low-grade magical artifact!
He never expected it to be broken so easily!
What was even more crucial was that the sword energy showed no signs of stopping and continued to stab directly towards his throat.
"Earth Spirit Shield!"
With no other option, He Honghui could only summon the Earth Spirit Shield to defend himself.
However, his trusted Earth Spirit Shield was destined to disappoint him this time. The Spirit Snake Sword, like a sharp blade piercing mud, instantly shattered the Earth Spirit Shield, and the sword energy directly struck He Honghui's throat.
"Ugh... you're also... Core Formation..."
The identity token that the referee had placed on He Honghui instantly exploded. A large hole was ripped open in He Honghui's throat.
He Honghui was dazed. Feeling the wetness at his neck, he instinctively reached out to touch it, only to discover that blood was gushing from his throat.
The identity token that could withstand a full-power strike from a Core Formation cultivator couldn't even save his life!
He Honghui's eyes widened as he fell straight onto the stage, his life completely extinguished.
"Young Master He!"
Witnessing this scene, Liu Huaiyu's eyes were filled with rage. He never dreamed that this Lin Chen would have also hidden his cultivation!
Even if he hid his cultivation, this person's combat power was extraordinary, directly killing He Honghui, who was protected by an identity token, with a single sword strike!
One must remember that this He Honghui was a genuine Core Formation cultivator!
And he was killed just like that?
"Young Master Liu, now, it's your turn!"
After killing He Honghui, Lin Chen turned his gaze towards Liu Huaiyu.
He who kills shall be killed by others. This Liu Huaiyu had also done countless wicked deeds. According to the information provided by Qin Lie and others before, Liu Huaiyu had frequently attacked rogue cultivators for cultivation resources.
The female cultivators he had defiled were countless.
He never expected to provoke him now!
"You... I'm telling you, I am the young master of the Liu family, and a future disciple of the Dan Ling Sect. If you kill me, not only will my Liu family be your eternal enemy, but the Dan Ling Sect will not let you go!"
Seeing the killing intent in Lin Chen's eyes, Liu Huaiyu truly became frightened.
He really couldn't believe that He Honghui, a Core Formation cultivator, had been instantly killed by this person with a single sword!
"Is that so? So you mean, if I don't kill you now, all this can be avoided?"
Hearing Liu Huaiyu's words, Lin Chen let out an even colder laugh.
He had personally witnessed the methods of the Liu family. Qin Lie and the others had merely left the Liu family normally, but they were still pursued.
If Liu Huaiyu had no knowledge of this whatsoever, how could that be possible?
Since he had already completely offended Liu Huaiyu, if he were still so naive, he would be the one to die in the end!
"Of course. Lin Chen, you are indeed talented. But I'm telling you, I, this young master, am destined to become an alchemist. If you follow me, you'll definitely have no shortage of wealth and status in the future. As for pills like the Spirit Guiding Pill and the Quinjin Pill, you can choose any you want. How about it?"
Liu Huaiyu looked at Lin Chen, concealing the deepest killing intent in his heart.
Right now, on the stage, it was absolutely easy for Lin Chen to kill him with his methods.
The only way to truly save his life was either to win over Lin Chen or to forfeit on the spot.
But for Liu Huaiyu now, if he forfeited, the Liu family would only be ranked in the top ten in the Zhejiang Province Cultivation Competition.
How would the cultivators of Zhejiang Province look at their Liu family in the future?
Therefore, the only way now was to win over Lin Chen! After this competition, he could gather his family's experts and deal with Lin Chen later!
"Hehehe, a mere mediocre alchemist, and you have the audacity to flaunt yourself?"
"You can't even refine pills, and you dare call yourself an alchemist? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed!"
Hearing Liu Huaiyu's words, Lin Chen let out another cold laugh.
He himself was now a bona fide third-grade alchemist. Did he need this Liu Huaiyu to refine pills for him? Wouldn't that be a laughingstock?
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Lin Chen dare to call him mediocre, Liu Huaiyu's expression immediately became strained.
Ever since he was determined to have alchemical talent and became an outer disciple of the Dan Ling Sect, everyone had treated him with respect.
Even when he visited the Long family, the Long family patriarch, who disliked seeing guests, had to come out personally to greet him.
But now? A mere offering of the Long family dared to mock him as mediocre. This was simply unbearable!
Even if the other party was a Core Formation cultivator, Liu Huaiyu swore in his heart that he would make him pay the price!
