Chapter 89: 'Fire Demon' Duan Guiyun
"It's okay. I encountered a little problem, but it has been resolved."
Ling Chen shook his head. He could not reveal anything about what happened to Prince Tai, otherwise he would probably get into endless trouble.
"I never thought that you were so honest and could take a treasure like the Earth Core Fire Lotus without being tempted."
Ling Chen changed the subject and smiled faintly.
Although he entrusted the Earth Core Fire Lotus to Bai Suzhen because he trusted her character, Ling Chen could not guarantee it 100%. After all, even among the righteous disciples, there were many hypocrites who were sanctimonious and did not practice what they preached. Ling Chen would not be surprised if Bai Suzhen ran away with the Earth Core Fire Lotus.
"I was just thinking that if you don't show up before the sun sets today, I'm going to run away with my stuff."
Bai Su Su rolled her eyes at Ling Chen, and then her expression became serious. She took out a box and handed it to Ling Chen, "I have taken the lotus seed that belongs to me. There are two left, no more, no less. Take a look for yourself."
"No."
Ling Chen shook his head and calmly put the box into the Tianfu Ring.
Seeing Ling Chen's actions, Bai Su Su's beautiful eyes also lit up slightly, but it only took a moment for her to return to normal. "I think the people from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and the black market must be looking for us everywhere around here. This place is not suitable for staying for long. We should leave as soon as possible."
"Yes. Without further ado, let's go now."
Ling Chen nodded. Bai Susu was right. Now the two of them were at the center of the storm. No matter which of the two groups found them, the consequences would be very bad.
"Leave? Why are you thinking of leaving when you just got here? Why don't you stay and play with me?"
Just as Ling Chen and Bai Suzhen were about to get up, a weird voice suddenly came from outside the inn.
Ling Chen looked in the direction of the voice, and saw four or five young men in red robes walking towards them. Among them, there was a figure that Ling Chen was familiar with.
It was Ouyang Lie who was eliminated by Ling Chen in the task screening.
However, the person who spoke was another person. This person was tall and strong, with eye-catching red hair. He carried a moon-covering knife on his back, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, revealing a murderous aura.
This person is not simple.
"Ling Chen, do you still remember me?"
Ouyang Lie walked forward with a playful smile on his face.
"Of course I remember, Ouyang Lie of the Fiery Blade Sect, shouldn't you have left a long time ago?" Ling Chen frowned. He could probably guess what the situation was.
He calculated that Lin Ya and Yang Hong did not have the energy to pursue, but he overlooked Ouyang Lie and his group.
This Ouyang Lie was so petty that after being eliminated in the task screening, he had been looking for his trace here, waiting for him, wanting to take revenge.
"Leave? Why would I leave before I've gotten rid of that anger?"
Ouyang Lie's eyes suddenly showed a cold light, "You bastard, you deliberately stole my guest official order, causing me to lose the qualification to participate in the mission. Fortunately, God has eyes, and we ran into you again today."
After saying that, he turned around and bowed to the young man carrying the Moon Covering Blade, "Senior Brother Duan Guiyun, this person is the despicable villain I told you about, Ling Chen."
Hearing the words "despicable villain", Ling Chen also sighed inwardly. This Ouyang Lie must have exaggerated the story.
Isn’t Duan Guiyun the fierce man in the martial arts world who earned the title of “Fire Demon”?
"You useless bastard! You can't even handle a kid like this! You are such a disgrace to our sect!"
Duan Guiyun scolded Ouyang Lie, then changed the subject and said to Ling Chen: "Boy, you have injured a disciple of the Fiery Blade Sect, do you know your crime?"
Ling Chen said calmly: "In the martial arts world, strength is respected. Your junior brother is not as skilled as others. What does it have to do with me?"
"What a saying that strength is everything. Does that mean it's okay for me to beat you to death?" Duan Guiyun narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
A mere martial artist of the first level actually dared to speak so arrogantly in front of him.
Ordinary young people, just hearing the name of "Fire Demon", would most likely retreat in the face of difficulty, or even kneel down and beg for mercy. There are countless people like Ling Chen, a small character with a shallow cultivation level, who have died at his hands.
"If you really have the ability, just do it."
Ling Chen sneered. If it was Yang Hong and Lin Ya , who were top masters on the Heavenly Ranking, he would indeed be powerless to compete with them. However, he was not so low as to dare to step on anyone. The mysterious woman in black wanted him to be in awe, which was true, but it depended on who she was talking to.
Facing Duan Guiyun, who has reached the fifth level of martial arts cultivation, he may not be without the ability to fight.
Duan Guiyun was furious. Ling Chen didn't take him seriously at all. He immediately laughed in anger and said, "Just because you are so arrogant, I will destroy your cultivation in front of everyone today and let the world know the consequences of bullying the disciples of the Fiery Blade Sect."
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Bai Su Su's pretty face changed color and she tried to dissuade them, "Brother Duan Guiyun, this is all a misunderstanding. Please don't start a war!"
"Step aside!"
Duan Guiyun's cold eyes swept over Bai Su Su, "All those outsiders, please get out of the way immediately to avoid being caught in the crossfire."
"Get out of my way, Bai Susu . This is a fight between men. Why are you, a woman, meddling in other people's business? If you don't get out of my way, I'll beat you up too!"
Ouyang Lie's expression was also extremely cold.
"Ling Chen, you are the top genius of the Divine Will Sect, how can you hide behind a woman and survive? If you are a man, stand up."
Taking a heavy step forward, Duan Guiyun seemed to be stepping on the eye of a wind. Endless strong winds rose and burst out, pressing towards Bai Suzhen and Ling Chen with a fierce momentum, making their clothes rustle, and the nearby tables and chairs flew up and smashed out of the window.
The diners nearby were so frightened that they fled from the inn.
"This place is too small to fully display our skills. Let's fight outside the city."
A gleam of light flashed in Ling Chen's eyes , and then he turned and rushed outside the inn.
Duan Guiyun sneered and moved immediately, his speed was even a little faster than Ling Chen's.
“Follow him!”
Ouyang Lie and other disciples of the Fiery Blade Sect also hurriedly chased after the goose.
"Ling Chen is too reckless."
Bai Suzhen shook her head. The opponent was the notorious "Fire Demon" Duan Guiyun, a fifth-level martial artist. How could the current Ling Chen be able to match him?
The outcome of this battle was obvious. Duan Guiyun would most likely be ruthless. If Ling Chen failed, he would probably even lose his life.
Despite this, Bai Suzhen still picked up her sword and walked out of the inn. After all, they were friends, and she couldn't just watch Ling Chen get killed.
