"Family Head Sun, this brat is incredibly arrogant. I'll stall the late-stage Core Formation cultivator while you kill him for me!"
Seeing Liu Huaiyu's impudent display, Wu Zhixiong quickly turned his head to look at Sun Zhiqian, who was not far away.
Indeed, the other party possessed the Golden Token of the Dan Ling Sect. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on him would be provoking the entire Dan Ling Sect!
Even if he were foolish, he wouldn't dare to openly wage war with the Dan Ling Sect.
After all, the Dan Ling Sect's reputation for protectiveness was well-known throughout the entire Long Country.
If he were to kill Liu Huaiyu now, once the people from the Dan Ling Sect came knocking, even if his own father personally intervened, it would likely cause considerable trouble.
"This..."
Upon being tasked with this by Wu Zhixiong, Sun Zhiqian was stunned.
This Liu Huaiyu before him was now a hot potato!
Touching him meant certain death, yet not touching him meant allowing him to run amok.
This feeling was truly… awkward!
"Lin Chen, strike and kill him. Seize that token from him!"
"I'll explain the specifics later, but that token must be acquired immediately!"
Just as Lin Chen was wondering what sort of token it was that could scare Sun Zhiqian and Wu Zhixiong so much, Long Yuling's voice suddenly transmitted into his ear.
"Alright!"
Seeing that even Long Yuling had given her command, Lin Chen had no time to ponder. He immediately drew his sword and charged towards Liu Huaiyu.
"Liu Huaiyu! Others may not dare to kill you, but I do!"
"Die!"
"Lin Chen! I'm telling you, I'm from the Dan Ling Sect, you dare… *cough*..."
However, before Liu Huaiyu could finish his threat, Lin Chen's sword pierced directly through his chest.
After killing Liu Huaiyu, Lin Chen also immediately collected the golden token from his hand into his storage bag.
"Young friend Lin, you this..."
Seeing that Lin Chen had actually killed Liu Huaiyu, Sun Zhiqian, standing nearby, widened his eyes in disbelief.
This was someone with the Dan Ling Sect's Golden Token! Wasn't Lin Chen afraid of being pursued by the Dan Ling Sect for killing him?
"It's fine, Family Head Sun. Since I've done this, it won't implicate you!"
Lin Chen waved his hand dismissively.
He knew that since Long Yuling dared to transmit her voice to him and instruct him to kill Liu Huaiyu, she wouldn't deceive him!
There must be some hidden circumstances that Sun Zhiqian and Wu Zhixiong were unaware of.
"Lin Chen! You scoundrel! If I had known, I would have killed your entire family first!"
Liu Feng, seeing his son killed, became enraged.
He wanted to attack Lin Chen desperately but was held back by Wu Zhixiong.
Previously, they had been concerned about the Dan Ling Sect's Golden Token in Liu Huaiyu's hand and dared not go all out. Now that someone had solved this troublesome issue for them, they truly had no further worries!
Coupled with the fact that Wu Zhixiong had originally come for revenge for his son, with no more concerns, he fought even more fiercely against Liu Han and Liu Feng, both late-stage Core Formation cultivators, his every move lethal.
Soon, the two of them were at a disadvantage.
Regardless, Wu Zhixiong was the Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect, a powerful figure among the Five Sects and Four Families.
Although they were both late-stage Core Formation cultivators, there was still a difference in combat power.
"Sect Master Wu! Our Liu family admits defeat. My son is dead now. As long as you spare us, we'll do anything!"
In desperation, Liu Feng could only offer to surrender.
He knew that if he didn't beg for mercy today, all the elders of their Liu family would likely perish here.
Upon hearing Liu Feng's plea, Wu Zhixiong's hand instinctively paused.
Indeed, with Liu Huaiyu dead, there were now only three Core Formation cultivators left. Moreover, one of them was a late-stage Core Formation expert.
His son was dead, and the dead could not be resurrected. If he could recruit these three experts, it would be an enhancement to the Blazing Fire Sect's strength, wouldn't it?
"Scoundrel! Is your son's life comparable to that of Young Master Wu?"
"You killed people for treasure, and now you beg for mercy after hitting a wall?"
Just as Wu Zhixiong hesitated, Sun Zhiqian, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly stepped forward to speak.
Apart from Lin Chen and his group, he was probably the only one who knew the truth of the matter!
If these people were allowed to live now and join the Blazing Fire Sect, the truth would eventually be revealed.
Now, they had to find every possible way to kill these people and eliminate all future trouble!
"Young friend Lin, strike with me and kill them!"
"Young Master Wu treated us so well, only to be killed by these scumbags. I will absolutely not let this go!"
Immediately, Sun Zhiqian looked towards Lin Chen and urged him on.
"Sword Emerges, Startling Swan! Kill!"
Lin Chen also understood the importance of killing to silence, and immediately used the first move of the Spirit Sword Art, charging directly at Liu Feng.
Liu Feng was the patriarch of the Liu family. If he were killed, Liu Han and the other Liu family elder would naturally be leaderless and could only be slaughtered.
"Elder, join me in killing this Lin Chen! We'll drag him down with us even if we die!"
Liu Feng gritted his teeth and immediately called for Liu Han to attack Lin Chen.
"Hmph, do you really think Sect Master Wu is a mere decoration? You want to kill me in front of him?"
Lin Chen let out a cold snort, forced Liu Feng back with a sword, and then seemingly casually said to the crowd.
When Wu Zhixiong heard this, he also immediately snapped out of his daze.
That's right, this Lin Chen was someone he had asked for help! If he were to die before his eyes now, how would the cultivators of Beichuan view him in the future?
"Scoundrel, you deserve to die for killing my son! Take this!"
Wu Zhixiong no longer hesitated and immediately charged towards Liu Han.
With Wu Zhixiong and Sun Zhiqian attacking with full force, Liu Feng and the other two could not resist for long before they were all killed.
"Everyone, the Blazing Fire Sect will remember today's events!"
"Family Head Sun, the Blazing Fire Sect's rise is unstoppable. I hope you will seriously consider the integration matter upon your return."
"Considering today's events, you will only need to submit forty percent of your annual profits from now on!"
"Let's go!"
After killing Liu Han and the others, Wu Zhixiong then looked at Sun Zhiqian and instructed him.
"Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely consider it carefully."
Seeing Wu Zhixiong turn his back on them, Sun Zhiqian sighed slightly.
Only now did he finally understand why Lin Chen had insisted that he throw the Blazing Fire Armor onto the Liu family's path earlier.
On one hand, it framed the Liu family and cleared their suspicion.
On the other hand, the Liu family seemed to have been at odds with Lin Chen from the start.
So, Lin Chen was killing two birds with one stone, using a borrowed knife!
