Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Dare to Lay a Finger on Me and See What Happens!
The nine disciples of the Crown Prince Hall lay sprawled on the ground, wailing miserably.
Lin Zhidongâs hands couldnât help but tremble.
During the Outer Sect Competition, he had willingly conceded, avoiding a clash with Luo Cheng. It was only now, facing him directly, that he understood the meaning of disparity! The meaning of utter domination!
Luo Cheng walked forward step by step, his voice icy: âWho struck first just now?â
The crowd swallowed hard, their gazes unanimously fixing on Lin Zhidong.
Lin Zhidongâs heart trembled. Seeing he couldnât escape, he immediately stiffened his neck and shouted:
âLuo Cheng, what do you want! This isnât the Martial Arts Square! My master is the Ninth Elder of the Outer Sect! Besides, youâre already a thorn in Jin Minâs side, a target for him! Youâd better think carefully about the consequences of acting rashlyâŠâ
Heh!
Luo Cheng sneered coldly. His gaze turned sharp, not waiting for Lin Zhidong to finish his sentence, he sent a punch hurtling through the air, his fist power cascading like a waterfall straight towards Lin Zhidong.
âAaaah! You dare attack? Are you insaneâŠâ
Lin Zhidongâs eyes widened, his sentence cut off midway, as the fist power struck.
Ah!
With a furious roar, Lin Zhidong crossed his hands in front of himself, desperately channeling his essence energy to defend.
But alas, his defense proved worthless before Luo Chengâs punch. His protective essence energy shattered in an instant, and his figure was sent flying over a hundred meters, smashing through several massive pine trees. Blood spurted uncontrollably, drenching the ground and leaving a deep fissure in its wake.
Luo Cheng stepped forward and motioned with his hand, seizing Lin Zhidongâs Storage Spirit Ring.
âYou!â
Lin Zhidongâs rage overwhelmed him, causing him to cough up another mouthful of blood and pass out.
The remaining eight disciples of the Crown Prince Hall were overcome by terror.
None had expected Luo Cheng to act so brazenly, showing no mercy at all! His strength was unfathomable. One punch had severely injured Lin Zhidong, ranked sixth among the top ten disciples!
Luo Cheng shifted his gaze coldly. âFrom now on, anyone who dares speak ill of Senior Brother Lin will end up like this!â
âNo, never again!â
âWe wonâtâŠâ
The eight disciples shrank back like frightened quails, trembling slightly.
Luo Cheng waved dismissively. âGet out! Take him away.â
With his words, the eight seemed to be pardoned from death, turning to flee without hesitation.
âWait, hold on!â
Luo Chengâs gaze suddenly locked on a tall youth in the center of the group.
âYou! Step forward!â
The tall youth shivered all over, stepping out cautiously: âBrother Luo Cheng, I didnât strike anyone just nowâŠâ
âThat doesnât matter.â
Luo Cheng shook his head, a mocking smirk playing on his lips. âYour name is Mo Xiao, isnât it? I recall during the Outer Sect Competition, you deliberately broke Gu Lingfengâs arms and legs, even boasting that I would share the same fateâŠâ
The tall youth was indeed Mo Xiao. Upon hearing Luo Chengâs words, his heart seemed to stop, his entire body turning cold, his eyes darting nervously.
Bam!
Knowing the matter couldnât end peacefully, Mo Xiao hardened his resolve, kicking a bowl-sized chunk of rock toward Luo Cheng as he turned to flee!
âThink you can escape?â
Luo Cheng sneered, activating Mist Shadow Step, his figure exploding forward, instantly blocking Mo Xiaoâs path.
âGet out of my way!â
Mo Xiao howled furiously, unleashing a powerful punch.
Luo Cheng didnât even glance, raising his hand to slap Mo Xiao aside, leaving him barely alive as he sprawled on the ground.
âYou broke Gu Lingfengâs arms and legs! Today, I will return the favor in kind!â
Luo Cheng stood tall, showing no mercy, unleashing a barrage of punches.
Bam bam bam bam!
Fist power exploded, blood splattered everywhereâMo Xiaoâs arms and legs were thoroughly shattered!
âAaaaahhh!â
The agony was unbearable, and Mo Xiao continued to scream miserably, his entire body lying motionless like a beaten, lifeless animal, his eyes glaring at Luo Cheng with mounting hatred:
âDamn you! Damn you! Luo Cheng! You dared to break my arms and legs! Just wait! Iâll report this to Senior Brother Jin Min immediately!â
âYou killed Qi Guyun and still act so brazenly. Jin Min will never forgive you! You wonât have a happy ending! Just see how youâll die!â
The nearby disciples of the Crown Prince Hall widened their eyes, sucking in cold breaths.
Luo Chengâs gaze was icy, his face breaking into a smile. âSee how Iâll die? Then watch carefully.â
Luo Chengâs killing intent surged; he prepared to strike again.
âLuo Cheng, stop!â
Chen Lingyu cried out in alarm.
Conflict between disciples might be overlooked by the elders.
But killing within the sect was a grave taboo!
Mo Xiaoâs eyes glinted coldly. âHaha! Try it! If you kill me, youâll die too!â
âIs that so?â
Luo Cheng chuckled coldly and delivered a heavy, forceful kick.
Thump!
Mo Xiao let out a miserable shriek, his body flying like a broken sack. Several pine trees shattered upon impact, leaving him lying on the ground, drenched in blood!
Chen Lingyu rushed over in shock to inspect him. Seeing that Mo Xiao still had a faint pulse, she finally exhaled in relief.
âSaving him would just waste medicinal resources!â
Luo Cheng snorted coldly and refrained from striking again.
Though this kick didnât claim Mo Xiaoâs life, it had shattered his Dantian! For a Martial Artist, this was akin to being half-crippled.
âLeave now!â
Luo Cheng turned his gaze toward the rest of the Crown Prince Hall disciples.
âWeâre leaving! Right away!â
The disciples snapped back to their senses, lifting Lin Zhidong and Mo Xiao before fleeing downhill like frightened birds.
Silence fell once more.
âLuo Cheng, that was reckless!â
Chen Lingyu looked concerned. âYou killed Qi GuyunâJin Min is already looking for ways to get rid of you. Now is not the time to stir up trouble. Besides, Lin Zhidong is the Ninth Elderâs direct disciple, and youâve gravely injured himâŠâ
Luo Cheng smiled faintly and said, âWhether I stick my neck out or pull it in, itâs the sameâitâs a blade either way. Whatâs the difference?â
Lin Xiaoyun, well acquainted with the tactics of the Crown Prince Hall, nodded. âAt this point, swallowing our anger wonât make them back down.â
âThat may be true, but stillâŠâ
Chen Lingyuâs worry was evident.
Luo Cheng reassured her with a smile. âRelax. I know my limits! Nothing will happen.â
As he spoke, Luo Cheng inspected Lin Zhidongâs Storage Spirit Ring. It contained quite a substantial collection, valued at no less than twenty thousand Essence Energy Pills!
Luo Cheng handed the Storage Spirit Ring to Chen Lingyu. âTake it. Consider it repayment for your Essence Energy Pills.â
Chen Lingyu glanced inside, her eyes lighting up like stars, then laughed playfully:
âHaha! So much? That means Iâve made quite a profit. Next time you need resources, be sure to come to me!â
âCount on it.â
The three of them chatted as they entered the courtyard and sat by a stone table.
Luo Cheng looked at Lin Xiaoyunâs empty left sleeve and frowned slightly. âSenior Brother, your armâŠâ
âHaha, youâre the Chief Disciple now. Just call me by my name.â
Lin Xiaoyun chuckled softly, glancing at his left sleeve, calm as water. âItâs just an armâno big deal. In fact, I feel more liberated than ever now.â
Lin Xiaoyun had always despised the Crown Prince Hallâs actions, opting to stay there because of Qi Guyun.
Unexpectedly, he saved Qi Guyunâs life and sacrificed so much for the Crown Prince Hall, yet ended up like this!
Now severed from the Crown Prince Hall, Lin Xiaoyun felt as though a weight had been lifted.
Though Lin Xiaoyun viewed it this way, Luo Cheng couldnât ignore it.
After all, Lin Xiaoyun had lost his arm because of him. Luo Cheng silently vowed to restore Lin Xiaoyunâs left arm someday.
This wasnât impossible. According to the Xuanyuan Record, certain Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures possessed the miraculous effect of regrowing limbs.
However, the time wasnât right yet.
Those treasures often grew in perilous regions and were incredibly rare. With his current strength, he was far from capableâŠ
âLuo Cheng, come out!â
Just as Luo Cheng was contemplating how to restore Lin Xiaoyunâs injury, an angry shout suddenly echoed overhead.
At the same time, a surging force followed, shaking the ground, sending stones flying, and whipping the Pine Forest into chaos!
