221: Wang Chen was furious

"Young man, forgive others when you can. You've already won, there's no need to be so ruthless."

Chen Tantian looked coldly at Yang Lingchen, his gaze filled with authority and pressure, attempting to make Yang Lingchen submit.

"If you want me to release him, you can. Step off the Arena, and I'll let him go."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he subtly made a gesture for Wang Chen to retreat. His expression was firm, not intimidated by Chen Tantian's Aura in the slightest.

"Good. As long as you release Xuan'er, This Seat will let you leave Heavenly Sword City and will not go back on my word."

A flicker of imperceptible killing intent flashed in Chen Tantian's eyes before he leaped off the Arena.

His actions seemed decisive, but in his heart, he was calculating how to kill Yang Lingchen after he released the hostage.

"Yang Lingchen, one day, This Young Master will tear you to shreds!"

Chen Zixuan's eyes were filled with endless malice. Although he was severely injured and controlled by Yang Lingchen at this moment, the hatred in his heart grew even stronger.

"Do you think you still have a chance?"

A cold sneer flashed across Yang Lingchen's lips. He was completely indifferent to Chen Zixuan's threat.

"Are you really going to kill This Young Master?"

Chen Zixuan looked coldly at Yang Lingchen. In front of his father, he believed Yang Lingchen wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die easily."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he dragged Chen Zixuan to the edge of the Arena and then directly jumped into the Teleportation Array he had set up in advance.

The moment Yang Lingchen jumped into the Teleportation Array, Wang Chen, who was beside it, also jumped in.

With a whoosh, Yang Lingchen and the others' figures disappeared directly into a corner beneath the Arena.

No one had expected that a small Teleportation Array was hidden beneath this Arena.

"Young man, you're courting death!"

The moment Yang Lingchen disappeared, Chen Tantian's figure lunged forward, but he was ultimately a step too late. The Teleportation Array had self-destructed, vanishing without a trace.

"A Teleportation Array! This young man can actually set up a Teleportation Array."

Just then, Chen Tantian found a small piece of illusory void stone where Yang Lingchen had disappeared. His face was terribly grim, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

"Everyone, follow This Seat in pursuit!"

Chen Tantian's figure flickered, instantly chasing towards the outskirts of Heavenly Sword City.

However, their efforts were destined to be in vain. Yang Lingchen and the others had already left their tracking range via the Teleportation Array.

Outside Heavenly Sword City.

Inside a mysterious cave.

"Fuck, you dog bastard!"

Yang Lingchen swung his staff, smashing it crazily onto Chen Zixuan's body.

"Ah ah ah... Little Bastard, you won't die a good death!"

Chen Zixuan's shrill screams echoed in the cave, his voice filled with pain and fear, but Yang Lingchen showed no intention of stopping.

"Still so stubborn, huh! Come and taste This Old Master's big stick."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he directly thrust his heaven-reaching staff into Chen Zixuan's mouth, then twisted it forcefully, instantly crushing Chen Zixuan's tongue and teeth to pieces.

Blood gushed from Chen Zixuan's mouth, and his screams became even more tragic.

"Bang bang bang...!"

"That's for trying to steal my woman."

"That's for acting arrogant in front of me."

Yang Lingchen swung his staff, delivering another barrage of savage blows, completely shattering Chen Zixuan's limbs. Each strike was accompanied by a dull thud and Chen Zixuan's painful wails.

Even Chen Zixuan's Dantian was crippled by Yang Lingchen on the spot.

"Hmm, what kind of look is that? Still not convinced, huh? Then there's no need to keep you!"

Yang Lingchen looked at Chen Zixuan's hateful eyes, without a trace of pity in his heart.

"Swish swish..."

Yang Lingchen waved his hand, sending out two Protective Auras directly into Chen Zixuan's eyes.

From this point on, Chen Zixuan was completely crippled. His body was battered and broken, without the slightest power to resist.

After doing all this, Yang Lingchen directly threw Chen Zixuan onto an official road, then he and Wang Chen quickly flew into the distance. Their figures were like ghosts, rapidly disappearing at the horizon's edge.

When Chen Tantian found the crippled Chen Zixuan, he was utterly enraged.

"Little Bastard, even if I have to search the highest heavens and the deepest Yellow Springs, This Seat will tear you to shreds!"

His voice echoed through the valley, filled with endless fury and killing intent.

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, the news of Yang Lingchen defeating Chen Zixuan spread like wildfire throughout the entire Tianluo Domain's sphere of influence.

Yang Lingchen's name even caused a huge sensation on the Tianfeng World divine martial ranking.

Countless Martial Artists discussed this thrilling battle, marveling at Yang Lingchen's strength and courage.

"Brother Wang, help me see which of the top twenty on the divine martial ranking is closest to me."

Yang Lingchen said, his eyes filled with a desire for challenge and a pursuit of higher strength.

"Brother Yang wants to challenge the top twenty Geniuses on the divine martial ranking?" Wang Chen asked in surprise. He hadn't expected Yang Lingchen's goal to be so high, so quickly.

"Mm!" Yang Lingchen nodded, his expression firm and confident.

Wang Chen opened the divine martial ranking and looked at it, saying, "Currently, the closest to us is Huo Du from Tianluo Domain. He is ranked twentieth on the Tianfeng divine martial ranking."

Wang Chen's voice carried a hint of worry.

"Alright, he'll do!"

Yang Lingchen was getting a bit tired of constantly challenging. If it weren't for competing for more Great Emperor Luck, he wouldn't be so bored, challenging everywhere.

The more Great Emperor Luck, the better. This was related to one's talent limit. Once one became a Divine Martial Realm Invincible Level Cultivator, after Breaking Through to the Great Emperor Realm, they would directly possess the strength to contend with Peak Great Emperor Realm powerhouses.

"Brother Yang, this Huo Du is a bit troublesome!"

Wang Chen said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, uneasy about Yang Lingchen's decision.

"How troublesome? Tell me about it!"

Yang Lingchen said, his expression relaxed, seemingly not taking Wang Chen's worries to heart.

"Huo Du is extremely powerful, insidious, cunning, and disregards Martial Artist ethics. Moreover, he has a grandfather who is exceptionally protective of him. If you injure him, we might not be able to leave Tianluo Domain."

Wang Chen said in a deep voice, elaborating on Huo Du's situation, hoping to make Yang Lingchen change his mind.

"This guy has such a bad reputation?" Yang Lingchen said, a hint of disdain appearing on his face.

"Huo Du not only has a bad reputation, but it's also rumored that he likes men. Brother Yang, you're so handsome, if you go to challenge him, the risk will be very great."

Wang Chen laughed, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in a lighthearted way.

"What's there to be afraid of? Let's go! At worst, I'll just give you to him then."

Yang Lingchen laughed, patting Wang Chen's shoulder, signaling him not to worry too much.

The two chatted and laughed all the way, flying towards the Tianluo Domain.

Their figures streaked across the sky, leaving traces behind.

For the upcoming challenge, Yang Lingchen had already made a plan: after defeating Huo Du, he would directly challenge the number one ranked player on the divine martial ranking.

His heart was filled with fighting spirit and determination. No matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, he would not retreat.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

After seven days of flying, Yang Lingchen and Wang Chen finally arrived at Tianluo Domain.

Tianluo Domain is located at the Peak of the mountains. The Spiritual Qi here is lush, the scenery is beautiful, and clouds and mist linger, as if it were a fairyland on earth. The mountain Peaks soar into the clouds, waterfalls cascade down, and exotic flowers and plants are scattered throughout the valley, making one feel as if they are in a beautiful painting.

To be safe, Yang Lingchen had already set up a Teleportation Array outside the mountains.

"Brother Wang, hang up the challenge banner. We'll just wait in front of the Tianluo Domain mountain gate."

Yang Lingchen said, his gaze firm and full of confidence.

"Alright!"

Wang Chen nodded, then hung Yang Lingchen's challenge banner on an ancient tree in front of the Tianluo Domain mountain gate.

The banner fluttered in the wind, displaying Yang Lingchen's challenge declaration to Huo Du.

Not long after Yang Lingchen's challenge banner was hung, it attracted the attention of Tianluo Domain's Disciples.

"Young man, you're incredibly bold to dare challenge Senior Brother Huo."

A Core Disciple from Tianluo Domain walked over, looking coldly at Wang Chen. His eyes were filled with disdain and anger, as if Wang Chen had committed an unforgivable crime.

"It's not me who's challenging, it's..."

"Still trying to argue? Take this!" Before Wang Chen could finish speaking, the opponent struck a palm towards him.

A powerful palm wind whistled, carrying immense force.

"Fuck, you're going too far!"

Wang Chen roared, also striking a palm to meet the opponent's. His face was filled with fury, determined to teach the other party a lesson.

"Boom!" Their palms collided fiercely, producing a violent tremor. Powerful energy fluctuations spread in all directions, as if the surrounding air was distorted.

Then they each retreated seven or eight steps before stopping.

"With just this much skill, you dare to challenge Senior Brother Huo."

The Core Disciple from Tianluo Domain said coldly, a mocking smile on his face.

"You big idiot! It's Brother Yang who's challenging Huo Du. Why are you picking a fight with me?!"

Wang Chen was thoroughly enraged, his voice echoing through the sky.

"Young man, you dare to curse This Young Master? State your name!"

The Tianluo Domain Core Disciple said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"This Old Master doesn't change his name or his surname. I am Wang Chen. Who are you?" Wang Chen responded fearlessly.

"So it's the trash ranked eighty-eighth on the divine martial sub-ranking. Listen closely, This Young Master's name is Li Fanjian." The Tianluo Domain Core Disciple said, his tone full of arrogance.

"Pfft..." Wang Chen chuckled, saying, "Fanjian, Li Fanjian. So you're Li Fanjian, ranked sixtieth. You're killing me with laughter."

Wang Chen's laughter was filled with mockery.

"Young man, you're courting death!"

Li Fanjian was furious. He swung his battle sword, slashing towards Wang Chen. Sword Qi flashed, carrying a sharp Aura.

Wang Chen was equally unwilling to show weakness. During his time with Yang Lingchen, his strength had also greatly improved.

He brandished his battle sword, unleashing an invisible Sword Qi to meet Li Fanjian's attack.

Their battle instantly entered a heated stage, and the surrounding atmosphere grew tense.
