"Bao'er, where is Xiaohua?" Lin Chen asked.

"She should be right ahead." Tang Bao'er pointed not far away.

Lin Chen nodded, picked up Tang Bao'er, and dashed towards the direction she had indicated.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Accompanied by several dull sounds, Zhao Xiaohua's body was thrown out again, thumping onto the ground.

"Haha, this girl is really tough to deal with; she actually made us spend so much time," a burly man laughed loudly.

"Young Master Wu, you really are ruthless, look how you've injured this poor girl. Aren't you afraid Lin Chen will be heartbroken later?" another sharp-faced youth said.

"Young Master Miao, this girl is like she can't be killed. Even wounded like this, she can still stand up." Wu Yong's face showed a trace of shock as he watched Zhao Xiaohua slowly stand up from a pool of blood.

"Stop wasting time with her. Let's join hands and take her down to use her to threaten Lin Chen into handing over the Tianyan," Zhao Qian said coldly from behind them.

"Yeah, it's getting late. Let's do this together." The others nodded as well.

Zhao Xiaohua's body was covered in blood, like a bloodied person.

With a fierce effort, her dislocated arm miraculously snapped back into place.

Wiping the blood from her face, Zhao Xiaohua's expression grew solemn.

If it were one-on-one, none of these men would be Zhao Xiaohua's match.

However, these three kept despicably teaming up, and other martial artists around were continuously launching sneak attacks, meaning Zhao Xiaohua was essentially fighting against dozens of martial artists.

It was like a tiger trapped amongst wolves, unable to utilize her strength.

Just as the three were about to make their move, suddenly a figure leapt down from a tree.

The young Taoist Xu Ye, with a straw stick in his mouth, said coldly, "Hey, I really can't stand watching this anymore. All you big guys bullying a girl."

The three turned cold when they saw the appearing young Taoist, "Kid, you better scram, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless and wiping you out too."

Xu Ye smiled faintly, "Sister Hua, can you handle one more?"

Zhao Xiaohua glanced at Xu Ye and nodded, "I can."

"Good, then I'll take the other two," Xu Ye smiled faintly.

"Forget it, let me take that Wu family kid," Just then, Zhang Yu, who was fiddling with his smartphone in the tree, stuffed the phone into his pocket and also stood out.

"Three against three, now that's fair!" Zhang Yu said lightly.

"Zhang, you dare to muddle in this mess too?" Wu Yong said coldly.

Zhang Yu shook his smartphone, "Can't help it; my phone is out of battery. Can't play games anymore, so I might as well get some exercise."

Seeing this situation, the other martial artists started feeling awkward.

Xu Ye is from Wudang, rumored to be the twenty-fifth generation descendant of Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Yu is even more influential, being the eldest son of one of the four major families of Huaxia, said to be a descendant of the famous military strategist Zhang Liang from the time of the Chu-Han Contention.

Both of these guys weren't ones to be trifled with, so the martial artists didn't dare to make another move, opting to stand aside instead.

Miao Shan stared coldly at the three, his eyes showing a trace of severity. Just as Zhao Xiaohua was about to falter, these two guys had popped up.

"Xu Ye, Zhang Yu, let's join hands to take down this demoness, and then threaten Lin Chen to hand over the Tianyan," Miao Shan said to the two.

Zhang Yu smiled faintly, "I'm not as shameless as you, ganging up on a girl."

"So you two are going against us?" Miao Shan's eyes slightly narrowed.

Just as tensions were at their breaking point, suddenly a martial artist dashed over quickly, "Young Master Miao, it's bad, Lin Chen has arrived."

"Heh, this kid actually came to court death himself," Miao Shan revealed a fierce grin on his face.

At that moment, a figure had already appeared at the edge of the forest.

Lin Chen took a few steps to Zhao Xiaohua's side, and upon seeing Zhao Xiaohua covered in blood, Lin Chen's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

Seeing the two groups poised for conflict, Lin Chen also understood that Xu Ye and Zhang Yu were helping Zhao Xiaohua.

Lin Chen cupped his fists toward the two men and said, "Thank you both."

Zhang Yu glanced at Lin Chen and smiled faintly, "Brother Lin, you are too polite. I simply couldn't stand to see them bullying a girl."

Lin Chen nodded, "I'll take care of the matters here; you two can just watch from the sidelines."

After setting Tang Bao'er on the ground, Lin Chen said to Xu Ye, "Brother Xu Ye, please take care of her and Xiaohua for me; leave the rest to me."

"What, you're going to take on all three of them alone?" Zhang Yu was stunned.

You should know these three from Miao Shan were all late-stage innates, hailing from major forces like Jiangdong's Wu Clan, Miao Village of Wushan, and Zhao Family from Liaodong, and they all possessed supernatural abilities, making them hard to deal with.

Lin Chen gazed coldly at the three, "To deal with these three pieces of trash, I alone am enough."

Boom!

Upon hearing Lin Chen's arrogant and domineering words, the entire forest fell silent.

Lin Chen was too arrogant, wanting to take on disciples from three major forces alone. Was this kid courting death?

Seeing Lin Chen refusing the help of Zhang Yu and Xu Ye, choosing to face all three of them alone, smiles of cruelty appeared at the edges of Miao Shan's trio's mouths.

"Heh, Lin Chen, you indeed have courage, but you will soon pay the price for your arrogance," Miao Shan said with a cold laugh.

At this moment, Wu Yong was also staring intensely at Lin Chen, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, "Kid, hand over the Tianyan, and we might spare your life."

"Yeah, Lin Chen, challenging the three of us alone is simply suicidal. It's better if you just hand over the Tianyan," Zhao Qian chimed in from the side.

A hint of a smirk passed over Lin Chen's lips, "Do you really think the three of you together can kill me?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the trio of Miao Shan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lin Chen was merely an early-stage innate; any of them could easily crush him, let alone all three striking together.

"Alright, alright, if you're courting death, then we can't be blamed," the murderous intent surged in Wu Yong's eyes as he suddenly made his move toward Lin Chen.

Wu Yong's speed was like lightning, appearing in front of Lin Chen. Unbelievably, as he threw his punch, his fist suddenly transformed into a steel knife, thrusting straight at Lin Chen's throat.

However, just as he was about to hit Lin Chen, Lin Chen suddenly stretched out a hand, fiercely grabbing Wu Yong's wrist. The next instant, flames surged from his palm.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, Wu Yong's arm quickly caught fire.

Seeing the flames about to spread over his body from his arm, Wu Yong gritted his teeth and cut off his own right arm with a single slice.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

No one expected Lin Chen's power to be so terrifying that he would disable Wu Yong's arm with a single move.

Seeing Lin Chen disable Wu Yong's arm with one move, thick horror and shock covered Miao Shan's face. He gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Qian, "This kid is tricky; let's go at him together!"
