CHAPTER 1250: CHAPTER 1248: DRIVEN BY QI (PART 2)

Lin Yanran curiously looked at Su Chen, then at the space where Su Chen was staring.

The next moment.

A figure slowly appeared from the air.

A woman, with a graceful figure, an extraordinary air, a touch of coldness amidst an agile demeanor, dressed in a purple long dress, and wearing a veil.

Woe Lingyun.

Su Chen and Lin Yanran recognized her at a glance, this woman was Woe Lingyun.

"Young Master Su." Woe Lingyun’s voice was light and nimble, like that of a ling que, giving a sense of coolness and calmness to the soul.

"What’s the matter?" Su Chen replied indifferently.

"Young Master Su, currently, almost all the demon beasts within the boundaries of Assessment Island have been hunted by Bei Buxiu and his group. Bei Buxiu has even conquered nearly all the candidates on the entire island, whether it’s Zheng Tianqiong, Sui Yi, or Ye Kaiya and others, they all follow Bei Buxiu." Woe Lingyun got straight to the point: "The top ten predicted on the Lingji Token, except for me, are all Bei Buxiu’s people."

"What?" Lin Yanran clasped her cherry-like mouth, her face alternating between pale and flushed, her delicate body trembling with shock, and her beautiful eyes filled with horror.

In contrast, Su Chen was very calm.

Woe Lingyun stared at Su Chen, curious at heart, why did Su Chen show no emotional change at all when she threw out such big news? She could feel that Su Chen indeed had no emotional change, it wasn’t a deliberate disguise; he really had none.

Woe Lingyun continued: "Bei Buxiu obtained the Supreme Treasure Swallow Saliva, his strength has soared madly and he has already reached the Sixth Level Peak of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain. In terms of combat power, he should at least be able to reach the early stage of the Eighth Layer of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain."

The fear in Lin Yanran’s beautiful eyes grew even thicker.

Yet Su Chen remained quietly silent.

"Bei Buxiu harbors extreme hatred for Young Master Su. These two days, he and those candidates have been searching for you. Bei Buxiu has sworn to make you wish for death. Young Master Su, Lingyun suggests that you continue to hide until the assessment is over, then find an opportunity to leave Assessment Island." Woe Lingyun said gravely.

"Why tell me all this?" Su Chen finally spoke, scanning Woe Lingyun with interest, he and she had nothing to do with each other, right? To be precise, they were clearly strangers.

"Just want you to survive." Woe Lingyun’s voice lowered a bit, not for any special reason, just felt that it would be a pity if a super genius like Su Chen died. Some geniuses are worth cherishing.

Over these years, among the martial cultivators she met who could match her strength, almost all were at least a thousand years old, while she was only twenty-one, and Su Chen was only twenty-six.

Of course, Bei Buxiu wasn’t very old either, just twenty-nine.

She hoped more that both Su Chen and Bei Buxiu would survive and go to Yanxu Palace, so she would have opponents and not be too bored.

However, compared to Bei Buxiu, Woe Lingyun had a bit more goodwill towards Su Chen because Su Chen was very low-key; she found Bei Buxiu too ostentatious. An assessment turned into turmoil by Bei Buxiu, whereas Su Chen was too understated. If she hadn’t happened to see Su Chen punching the Earth Dragon Crocodile to death, probably no one would have known his terrifying strength, right?

Thinking of the Earth Dragon Crocodile, Woe Lingyun grew increasingly disgusted with Bei Buxiu, thinking about how Bei Buxiu actually claimed to other candidates that he killed the Earth Dragon Crocodile, Woe Lingyun felt a bit sickened.

Precisely because her perception of Su Chen was better than that of Bei Buxiu, Woe Lingyun didn’t want Su Chen to go to his death.

Su Chen is indeed a monster, very terrifying, but Bei Buxiu’s strength increased tremendously with the acquisition of the Swallow’s Saliva. Now, is Su Chen still a match for Bei Buxiu? She dared not say.

Not to mention, Bei Buxiu also had Zheng Tianqiong, Sui Yi, Guo Dingyang, and at least seven or eight geniuses by his side, plus nearly four thousand candidates. If Su Chen didn’t hide and was discovered by Bei Buxiu, he would undoubtedly die.

"Thank you." Su Chen nodded, then took a step forward.

"What are you going to do?" Woe Lingyun was stunned, she had said everything she needed to say, so why did it seem like Su Chen was unmoved?

"To find Bei Buxiu." Su Chen said: "I don’t have any points, he has more points."

"You..." Woe Lingyun almost choked, had she been talking to the air all along? Was Su Chen simply not listening?

Beneath the veil, Woe Lingyun’s stunningly beautiful face showed a hint of annoyance, damn it!!! Her good intentions were treated like donkey’s liver and lungs!

She glared at Su Chen with her beautiful eyes: "Do you have a death wish? No matter how strong you are, you can’t be a match for Bei Buxiu, Zheng Tianqiong, Sui Yi, Guo Dingyang, and all of them. No matter how strong you are, you can’t possibly take on over four thousand candidates by yourself, right?"

"Maybe, I really can." Su Chen touched his nose and said seriously.

"......" Woe Lingyun almost had the urge to kill, she felt Su Chen must be mad, talking nonsense? Not even a true Broken Eternal Realm level martial cultivator could easily face Bei Buxiu, Zheng Tianqiong, Sui Yi, Guo Dingyang, and over four thousand others by himself, right? Was Su Chen overconfident? Brain-addled?

"Su Chen..." Lin Yanran also spoke up: "Shall we continue hiding?"

Lin Yanran’s thoughts were similar to Woe Lingyun’s, and she had even less confidence than Woe Lingyun, because on the day Su Chen killed the Earth Dragon Crocodile, Woe Lingyun at least saw it, whereas Lin Yanran had fainted at the time.

So, in Lin Yanran’s heart, Su Chen’s strength was not even as strong as Woe Lingyun’s perception of Su Chen’s strength.

"If you want to hide, hide; I won’t." Su Chen didn’t stop walking and didn’t want to explain anything. He left the choice to Lin Yanran; how Lin Yanran chose was her own business, of course, if she chose to hide, he wouldn’t stop her, he’d only be a little disappointed.

"Bastard, do you have a death wish?" Lin Yanran got angry, raising her voice, but Su Chen remained unmoved. Lin Yanran bit her lip, seemingly making up her mind: "Do you think I’m afraid? I’ll die with you! After all, I owe you a life!!!"

Lin Yanran was ready to risk it all.

She wasn’t someone who abandoned her comrades.

Especially, back when she was at her most perilous and desperate, Su Chen stood up; how could she leave Su Chen now? Even if she knew following Su Chen meant certain death, she still chose to follow her true feelings.

"Su Chen, you are truly crazy. You are a super genius. Given time, even Bei Buxiu wouldn’t be your match in the future. But you’re being so impulsive, eager for a moment, you deserve to die." Woe Lingyun was exasperated and glared at Su Chen.

She thought so highly of Su Chen, even thought he would be her long-term rival at Yanxu Palace in the future, now it seems she overestimated him. Su Chen might have the talent, but not the brains.
