At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

Lin Chen stepped on Qin Yun's knee, and suddenly there was a sound of bone breaking.

"Ah!"

Qin Yun screamed, the pain drilled into his mind, making his hair stand on end.

He looked at Lin Chen, horrified and said: "You... you are an existence of the eighth level of the soul refining?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded and said indifferently: "Now, do you still think I can't kill you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yun's head tilted back suddenly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Lin Chen kicked Qin Yun in the chest, and Qin Yun flew backwards hundreds of meters and fell on a towering tree. The tree broke with a sound, and Qin Yun fell on the trunk.

With a muffled bang, a dent was smashed into the trunk, and Qin Yun also fainted completely, and his life disappeared.

"This-"

The remaining two guards were stunned, their faces were extremely horrified, and they looked at Lin Chen as if they saw a ghost.

A being at the fourth level of the Spirit Refining Realm, with just one move, easily killed a strong man at the ninth level of the Spirit Refining Realm?

This is too unbelievable, isn't it?

Could it be that Lin Chen's realm is not inferior to that of the ninth level of the Spirit Refining Realm?

Thinking of this possibility, they just felt their scalps tingling.

The young man among them exclaimed and turned around and ran. Although he was very angry that Lin Chen killed their leader, he also understood that if he didn't run away now, he would definitely die.

Whoosh!

Lin Chen turned into a phantom and caught up with the man in an instant. He raised his foot and kicked the other person in the back. With a plop, the other person also hit the trunk of the towering tree like a cannonball and fainted.

"Lin Chen, are you crazy? If you kill him, you will definitely not survive!"

Gu Yue was shocked to see that Lin Chen killed Qin Yun without hesitation, and then frowned and scolded:

"I know your enemy is the royal family, but you also have to figure out who your enemy is. You are playing with fire and getting burned by doing this!"

Lin Chen ignored her and looked around. Suddenly, his eyes locked on the woman not far away.

The woman had stood up at this time, but her body was covered with blood, her dress was stained with blood, and she looked miserable.

She had many scars on her body and tears on her face. Obviously, the guards had just used roughness on her and she was scared.

However, when she saw Lin Chen looking at her, she quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks, her face showing joy, and she hurriedly said: "You... you are finally here!"

"Benefactor?" Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then she realized who Lin Chen was talking about. Her face changed and she said: "Lin Chen, you can't do this!"

While speaking, she rushed towards the woman, as if she was worried that Lin Chen would continue to be violent to the woman.

Lin Chen glanced at her and said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it!"

"You——"

Gu Yue stopped, her pretty face sank slightly, but she still stopped, because she noticed that Lin Chen's body was surging with murderous intent, like a ferocious beast, giving her a great sense of oppression.

"What's going on? Where is Commander Qin? And that little girl?"

"Hey, why are they lying over there?"

Just then, guards appeared one after another, as many as dozens of people.

These people were stunned when they saw the scene, but soon, their eyes focused on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's face was gloomy, staring at the men and said, "Tell me what's wrong with these two people, otherwise, I will kill you!"

"Hahaha! Boy, you are so arrogant! Do you think you are a strong man in the eighth level of the soul refining world just because you beat Commander Qin?"

The young man who spoke before laughed and said with a wild smile, "You, a waste in the sixth level of the soul refining world, are you worthy of being compared with the strong man in the eighth level of the soul refining world?"

His smile was restrained, and he looked at Lin Chen coldly, "Since you are so arrogant and dare to provoke the Gu family in Guyang City, then I will take you down tonight and hand you over to the Gu family for disposal!"

After speaking, he winked at several companions beside him, and these people immediately understood and rushed towards Lin Chen together to besiege him.

Swish!

Lin Chen drew his sword out of the sheath, and then his body swayed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of one of them and slashed with his long sword.

"Get out of the way!"

The man roared and drew his knife to block.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing came, and the man's knife left his right arm and fell beside his feet.

Swish!

The other few people also faced Lin Chen's sword. The next second, they felt extremely painful. Looking down, they found that each of them had a sword mark deep enough to see the bone on their bodies, and blood flowed out, staining their clothes red in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen's speed was too fast!

They couldn't even catch Lin Chen's trajectory, and they were seriously injured in the first encounter!

Lin Chen said coldly: "This is the end of offending me! Remember, don't mess with me, otherwise you will die!"

"Damn it!"

"Everyone retreat quickly, go report to the head of the family!"

The remaining guards were all terrified, and they dared not stay, and immediately turned around to escape.

They were all cultivators at the ninth level of the soul refining world, and they were extremely fast. In an instant, they rushed more than ten meters away.

"Why are you running? Leave your lives!"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and shot at the nearest person. He was as fast as lightning, and appeared behind the man in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

He punched the other man's head and blew it up.

The man's body was torn apart and fell to the side. Lin Chen pounced on the other man again and punched him in the abdomen.

Puff!

The other man's mouth opened, blood gushed out like a spring, the whole person bent like a shrimp, his body trembled, and then fell to the side with a bang.

Then, Lin Chen's figure was graceful, and every time he attacked, whether it was a finger, a palm, or a kick, he could take someone's life.

However, in just a short moment, more than a dozen people fell in a pool of blood, with their eyes wide open, and no one had a complete body.

This scene was so shocking, it was like a massacre, and it was a massacre of a group of people in the seventh level of the Refining God.

The woman was already dumbfounded when she saw Lin Chen killing more than a dozen guards, her face full of admiration and excitement.

When she saw Lin Chen coming towards her, she hurriedly hid behind a tree, trembling with fear.

Lin Chen took a step forward to the woman, stretched out his left arm to hug her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

"Let... let me go! Wuwu... I'm scared!" The woman was hugged in Lin Chen's arms, and she cried loudly in fear, but she did not struggle, because she knew that this was the person who saved her.

Her voice was choked and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Lin Chen comforted her for a few words, then looked at Gu Yue, who was pale, and said, "I'll take you away from here."

Lin Chen swallowed his throat, and his heartbeat quickened a little. After all, he coveted Gu Yue's beauty and temperament, but it was hard to express.

"You--"

Gu Yue saw Lin Chen's actions and gritted his teeth in anger. This guy was too shameless.

At this time, Lin Chen had already grabbed Gu Yue and walked out of the valley.

There are many tall trees in this wasteland, and there happened to be a hundred-meter tree where Gu Yue was.

Lin Chen hugged Gu Yue's waist, and his figure swept through the dense branches and leaves like the wind. Almost in an instant, he reached the top of the tree, overlooking the group of guards who were fleeing in panic below. He looked cold and shouted, "Stay here!"

The next moment, he suddenly jumped up and kicked out.

Boom!

The space exploded.

Crack, crack—

Several huge trees were broken in half.

Bang, bang, bang!

One after another, human figures fell into the mud, their souls annihilated.

In an instant, Lin Chen dealt with these people simply and neatly.

Gu Yue was stunned, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Although she knew that Lin Chen was powerful, she didn't expect that his strength was so much stronger than before.

"Ahem... Thank you, big brother! You saved me, and I will repay you in the future!" Gu Yue suddenly spoke, pleading.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I saved you because I owed your grandfather a life. You don't have to do anything to repay me, because your life belongs to you."

"My name is Gu Yue, what is your name, big brother?" Gu Yue said.

"Lin Chen." Lin Chen said.

He didn't intend to tell the other party his identity.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Gu Yue smiled with joy and said, "Big brother, your name is Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Yue said, "Big brother, are you going to participate in the Gu family's family trial competition?"

"Yes, I am going to participate. How do you know?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Gu Yue said, "Because I am going to go too."

"Why are you going to participate in the family trial competition?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.

"I... I don't know, anyway, my grandfather said that I must participate." Gu Yue hesitated and shook his head.

Lin Chen frowned and said, "You don't want to participate?"

Gu Yue shook his head and said, "No! It's just that my grandfather hopes that I can pass the test."

"Oh."

Lin Chen responded indifferently, not interested in continuing to ask, and was about to leave with Gu Yue.

He thought to himself that if the other party didn't want to say it, then he didn't bother to meddle in other people's business, anyway, he didn't lack spiritual stones.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Gu Yue called Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stopped and looked at Gu Yue, wondering, "Anything else?"

Gu Yue hesitated and said, "My name is Gu Yue. My grandfather said that you helped me, and I want to thank you!"

After that, she mustered up her courage and looked at Lin Chen and said, "What's your name?"

Lin Chen looked at the girl in front of him, and his heart twitched slightly. This girl was obviously a few years younger than him, but she seemed to be an orphan abandoned by her parents like her sister.

He touched his nose and said, "My name is Lin Chen."

"Ah? Lin Chen?" Gu Yue was stunned, and her face became embarrassed. She was really worried that this guy would take advantage of her.

But soon, her face became a little gloomy again, and she sighed softly: "Lin Chen? This surname is so special, I haven't heard of this name before!"

She showed a bitter smile on her face, and murmured in a low voice: "Even the name is so special? It seems that I will never forget this person in this life."

Lin Chen heard this and thought to himself: "It seems that this girl has a good relationship with her grandfather and is very filial, otherwise she would not miss her grandfather so much."

"Then I'll leave, see you again if we are destined to!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he ignored Gu Yue's retention and flew directly into the sky, turning into a meteor and disappearing in the night. Only a wisp of fragrance entered Gu Yue's nose.

Gu Yue stood on the top of the tree, looking at the direction where Lin Chen disappeared, with a confused and painful expression on his face.

"Grandpa, what happened to your death that year? Why was our entire Gu family slaughtered, but you didn't die? Why..."

Gu Yue's face was full of sorrow. She knew that one day, she would go to find the beast and avenge her grandfather.

She silently said to herself that if she had the chance to see this older brother again, she must tell him that grandpa was not killed by someone else!

Lin Chen took Gu Yue to a patch of grass.

"Brother, why did you bring me here?" Gu Yue blinked, wondering.

"Close your eyes, lie down and don't move!"

Lin Chen squatted next to Gu Yue, stared at her and said, "I'm going to treat you now for the cold poison in your body, don't resist!"

After saying that, Lin Chen activated the third level of the Holy Demon Xiaoyao Jue, and the spiritual power in his Dantian surged out of his body and gathered on his right palm.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Yue was startled and quickly took two steps back.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and explained: "The 'Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills' that your grandfather planted for you were a bit cruel, causing a large amount of cold poison to accumulate in your body. This poison will affect the speed of your cultivation."

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know, my grandfather said that I have a special physique, and I must practice with the 'Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills' when practicing."

"Since you know, then you should be more obedient. I am helping you!"

Lin Chen said with a solemn expression: "If you don't listen to me, if the poison in your body breaks out, not only will you die, but your grandfather's life may even be endangered."

Gu Yue's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay. I believe you!"

Lin Chen took out the silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point on Gu Yue's back. At the same time, he pressed his fingers together, and the spiritual energy poured into her body, guiding the spiritual energy into her limbs and bones.

Soon, Lin Chen was sweating on his forehead.

At this time, Gu Yue's body temperature had dropped to its lowest point, and the skin all over her body was frozen into a tender purple color, as if it were carved from a piece of amethyst, exuding an astonishing charm.

Lin Chen felt as if he was holding a uniquely beautiful piece of art.

His breathing also became rapid.

Fortunately, at this moment, a warm wave of heat flowed into Gu Yue's body along his fingertips.

Suddenly, Lin Chen's face relaxed. This was the spiritual fire in his body.

Although the spiritual fire has no entity, it still has spiritual intelligence. At this moment, it is under Lin Chen's control, helping Lin Chen guide the cold poison in Gu Yue's body.

After a while, all the cold poison in Gu Yue's body was finally suppressed. Lin Chen took back his spiritual power and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Gu Yue opened her eyes, she saw Lin Chen rubbing her temples, and she felt a little guilty.

She originally thought that Lin Chen was plotting against her, but she never expected that Lin Chen actually wanted to help her get rid of the cold poison.

"Thank you! Lin Chen, my grandfather's death has nothing to do with you, so don't take it to heart." Gu Yue said softly.

"It doesn't matter, I have never blamed anyone. You don't have to think too much!" Lin Chen waved his left arm to indicate that he no longer cared.

He learned from Gu Jianfeng's body that Gu Yue's grandson was from Yunwu Villa, so he didn't feel much about Gu Jianfeng's death. After all, Gu Jianfeng had no interaction with him, and at the time It almost killed him.

"Hey, what is that over there?"

Gu Yue suddenly stretched out her index finger and pointed in the distance, where a black flame was beating.

"Netherworld Ghost Flame. Why is there Netherworld Ghost Flame here?"

Lin Chen's face was stern. He was naturally aware of the power of the Netherworld Ghost Flame. It was said that the flame was born from the ghosts. It was extremely terrifying and was the nemesis of the Yin attribute.

However, this kind of thing usually only exists in the depths of the Yinsha Forest. It is impossible to appear in this wilderness.

Lin Chen thought to himself, could it be that there is a cave of fierce ghosts nearby? Maybe this ghostly flame was produced here!

Lin Chen immediately used the "Burning Silence" of the Seven Destruction Styles and rushed towards the Netherworld Ghost Flame. He guessed that the Netherworld Ghost Flame might be the source of the birth of the ghost.

But obviously, Lin Chen's inference was wrong.
