CHAPTER 768: CHAPTER 773: BATTLE WITH CHU HUAIYANG (2)

"No, this is impossible." Zhu Hong stepped back, his gaze towards Ling Chen filled with a hint of fear.

He had originally wanted to take revenge on Ling Chen, but he had never expected the situation to escalate like this. Could this guy really be favored by heaven? No, that couldn’t be it. Ling Chen must have some unknown tricks up his sleeve, which is why he managed to kill his two subordinates.

Unable!

Wrinkling his brows, Zhu Hong knew that without Chu Huaiyang by his side, he was no match for Ling Chen alone.

In a split second, Zhu Hong suddenly raised his hand, his wrist flicking lightly and several streaks of cold light shot out, aimed directly at Ling Chen’s vital points.

Watching the incoming cold light, Ling Chen snorted softly, his body unmoved. He merely waved his arm, and without any apparent movement, the streaks of cold light were knocked to the ground, creating a ’clang clang’ sound.

Darts!

Ling Chen glanced at them, then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at Zhu Hong.

Seeing Ling Chen easily knock down the darts, Zhu Hong gritted his teeth and stretched both hands into his pockets. Then, with both hands, he fired over a dozen more darts.

After throwing the darts, Zhu Hong didn’t wait for Ling Chen to catch up and immediately turned around to run towards the exit of the abandoned warehouse.

He couldn’t handle Ling Chen alone; now he could only ask for Chu Huaiyang’s help. Only by quickly meeting up with Chu Huaiyang could he have a chance to save his life.

"Trying to flee?" Ling Chen squinted his eyes and murmured, "I’d like to see where you can run."

With that, Ling Chen moved his legs and chased after the fleeing Zhu Hong like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Turning his head, Zhu Hong saw Ling Chen getting closer and used every ounce of his strength, screaming Chu Huaiyang’s name.

Finally, just as Ling Chen was about to catch up with Zhu Hong, Chu Huaiyang finally heard Zhu Hong’s cries for help and appeared at the entrance of the warehouse.

Seeing Ling Chen closely pursuing Zhu Hong, Chu Huaiyang’s expression slightly changed, and he quickly rushed towards Zhu Hong.

The moment Ling Chen threw a punch towards Zhu Hong’s back, Chu Huaiyang finally reached Zhu Hong and threw a palm strike.

Their fists and palm collided, and Chu Huaiyang’s expression immediately darkened, his body retreating several steps. In contrast, Ling Chen stood firm like a resilient pine, unshaken.

Seeing this, Chu Huaiyang was shocked, reacting just like Zhu Hong earlier.

This guy... He was seriously injured just a moment ago, powerless, unable to deal with two Dragon List masters, yet now he could withstand his own attack. Although he used less than seventy percent of his strength, it wasn’t easy.

Facing Chu Huaiyang’s astonishment and confusion, Ling Chen spoke, "To be a master of the Earthly List at such a young age, the person behind you must be extraordinary. I’m curious why such a promising young man like you would serve Zhu Hong; don’t you feel aggrieved?"

"Cut the nonsense," Chu Huaiyang coldly shouted: "Ling Chen, with me here, don’t think you can escape."

"Chu Huaiyang, instead of talking so much, just kill him," said Zhu Hong. "He killed those two men."

Killed?

Chu Huaiyang glanced at Ling Chen in surprise, and nodded lightly, saying, "If that’s the case, let me see what you’ve got."

With that, Chu Huaiyang lightly tapped his toes, and swiftly charged at Ling Chen.

Chu Huaiyang was very fast, closing the distance in a blink of an eye, a palm strike aimed at Ling Chen’s chest.

Even though the flesh palm hadn’t yet closed in, Ling Chen had already felt a powerful force.

Hua Realm!

Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, a cold light flickering. He then clenched his fingers tightly, instantly forming a fist, and fiercely struck out.

Bang!

In an instant, Chu Huaiyang, who was charging forward, flew out before he could approach, and heavily fell to the ground, his face pale.

Seeing this, Zhu Hong, who was watching from the side, was momentarily stunned.

Was he... defeated?

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Zhu Hong froze for a moment, his face showing disbelief as he looked at Ling Chen.

Chu Huaiyang was different from those two Dragon List experts; he was an Earthly List expert, yet he was sent flying by Ling Chen with a single punch, such a change was too great.

Back when Ling Chen was competing in the Yangxin Pavilion, Zhu Hong had secretly watched. At that time, Ling Chen was also a Dragon List expert, and although he could defeat an Earthly List expert, it took a lot of effort. However, when facing Chu Huaiyang now, he did it effortlessly, easily sending Chu Huaiyang flying.

At this moment, Ling Chen raised his hand and beckoned Chu Huaiyang with a finger.

"Come, continue, let me see the might of an Earthly List expert."

Hearing this, Chu Huaiyang immediately got up from the ground and stared coldly at Ling Chen. Faced with Ling Chen’s provocation, Chu Huaiyang felt a nameless rage boiling inside him.

This guy... is too arrogant!

"Die!"

With a furious shout, Chu Huaiyang charged again, both palms striking towards Ling Chen.

As Chu Huaiyang approached, Ling Chen didn’t move at all; instead, he fixed his gaze on Chu Huaiyang.

Three meters... Two meters... One meter...

When Chu Huaiyang was within one meter, Ling Chen suddenly raised his steel fist and struck the air.

Instantly, there was a ’pu’ sound, and Chu Huaiyang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying out again.

Seeing Chu Huaiyang being hurled away two times, Zhu Hong’s pupils involuntarily shrank.

Hua Realm... It’s the Hua Realm!

He had clearly seen Ling Chen using the Hua Realm to send Chu Huaiyang flying within a meter.

This could only be done by an Earthly List or Heavenly List expert. Ling Chen used to be a Dragon List expert, and now deploying Hua Realm indicated that he had advanced to the Earthly List, becoming a genuine Earthly List expert.

How... How is this possible?

Zhu Hong found it incredible; just a short while ago, Ling Chen had suffered severe injuries, but now he had successfully advanced to become an Earthly List expert. It was hard to imagine what Ling Chen had gone through just before.

While Zhu Hong was still dazed, Chu Huaiyang struggled to stand up from the ground and hurriedly came to Zhu Hong’s side, grabbing his arm and speaking gravely, "What are you dazed for, let’s go!"

Hearing Chu Huaiyang’s reminder, Zhu Hong finally snapped into action and hurriedly ran towards the outside of the abandoned warehouse.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Ling Chen called out lightly, quickly following them. He wouldn’t easily let go of this opportunity to capture Zhu Hong. No matter what, he had to catch Zhu Hong this time and settle matters with him.

However, before Ling Chen could catch up, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him. As Ling Chen focused, he stopped in his tracks and spoke, "Chu Huaiyang, this is a grudge between me and Zhu Hong, I advise you not to interfere."

Chu Huaiyang shook his head, saying, "I don’t want to meddle, but I have no choice. He can’t have an accident; if he does, my life won’t be spared either."

"Why?"

"Because..." Chu Huaiyang opened his mouth, but it seemed like he had some unspeakable secrets, abruptly changing the topic, "Forget it! It’s better for you not to know about such matters."
