C280 (1/2)

After a while, he slowly walked out. The corner of his mouth curled up and a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes. Presumably, Li Chen would not have a good time after this.

Time flew by. Li Chen felt that it had only been a day or two, and it was almost the end of the Martial Competition. However, Ling Yun Yu had never come out to challenge anyone.

However, Li Chen had temporarily obtained the second place in the Genius Ranking. In the past few days, his points had been rising at an extremely fast rate, and he even had over a thousand points in a single match. The first place on the Genius Ranking could be considered as the stepping stone for Li Chen to clear the last stage.

Lingyun, who was about to come out of seclusion, didn't know that he had already become Li Chen's stepping stone, but he still took Li Chen as a stepping stone.

This was enough to show that the strong were all as arrogant and conceited as the strong.

Today, Li Chen beat up all the challengers just like before. In the end, no one dared to go up on stage. Li Chen could only leave the stage early and return to meditate to recuperate.

However, just as he was halfway there, he was stopped by someone who spoke as if he was very familiar with him.

”Li Chen, you actually didn't listen to the arrangements and challenged us without permission. The hall master wants to speak to you.”

The black robed man in front of Li Chen was obviously from the Demonic Cultivator camp. He had a face full of respect for his subordinates and a cold, commanding tone.

Li Chen thought this was strange, so he ignored it and walked past. Unexpectedly, that person said loudly, ”Li Chen, don't think you don't know what's good for you just because you have a higher cultivation. Without the Demon Lord, you are nothing.”

This shout caused Li Chen to stop in his tracks. Similarly, those who were passing by also stopped in their tracks out of curiosity as they had the leisure to watch the fun.

”I don't remember knowing someone like you!” Li Chen's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, disdain, and impatience. He looked at the people who stopped him with disgust.

When Du Zhihong was looked at by Li Chen's fierce gaze, his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he was stunned by Li Chen's fierce ruthlessness. However, he was also a peak Martial King and immediately recovered. He had a dissatisfied look on his face as he said, ”Truly, breaking bridge after crossing a river with some results. Do you really think you can escape the demonic lord? ”Hehe, you really think too highly of yourself.”

As Du Zhihong spoke, his eyes flashed, and the evil cultivators beside him all stepped forward, wanting to suppress Li Chen. Seeing this, Li Chen coldly said, ”Are you planning to make a move in broad daylight? ”He's quite bold. He's not afraid of being kicked out.”

Du Zhihong did not care about what Li Chen said. He arrogantly said, ”If we capture our own people, it will not break anyone's rules! Li Chen, stop denying your identity. If you have anything to say, go back and explain it to the pavilion master! ”

The onlookers now understood that this was probably the work of an evil cultivator. However, wasn't Li Chen an itinerant cultivator? How did he become an evil cultivator? There were even people who had already investigated Li Chen's background and whispered to their friends:

”People say that Li Chen is an evil cultivator, but I don't know if that's true or not. I heard that he killed an evil cultivator named Zhang Yunchao!” ”From the looks of it, it seems to be an internal conflict. Could this Li Chen really be an evil cultivator?”

When the person said this, he looked at Li Chen in confusion. The people around him were powerful martial artists with sharp ears. Even the strange part where Li Chen wore a mask was taken away by Li Chen with a gaze that didn't look too good.

Li Chen was not someone who just sat there and waited for death. Before the evil cultivators could even touch his body, he swung the Dragon Bone Rod in his hand sideways and knocked over the person who came before he could do anything.

Seeing this, Du Zhihong spat, ”What a bunch of trash!”

Li Chen struggled for a long time, but was unable to break free. He looked at Du Zhihong with an ugly expression, ”What are you guys doing? Are you trying to tie me up?! Heh, you really think a broken rope can tie me up! ”

Without waiting for Du Zhihong to speak, he clenched his right fist and retracted it straight out. The rope that quickly wrapped around his right hand immediately retracted, causing Du Zhihong to stagger. If it wasn't for Du Zhihong having a bit of strength, the Demon Binding Rope would have been given to him by the Demon Lord himself from the void world, but it wasn't inferior to a Heavenly Soul Treasure.

Therefore, Li Chen only used his powerful physique to shake the rope a little, but he was already unable to break free or control it.

Li Chen saw that the rope was very strange. He released his Spiritual Energy and covered the rope that was wrapped around him. Once he executed the Manifestation Art, the corrosive force immediately followed. However, the rope remained undamaged.

On the side, Du Zhihong kindly advised, ”Don't waste your energy. Obediently come back with us. You'll suffer less torture. This magic rope isn't just a sharp weapon used to trap people.”

Li Chen was annoyed by Du Zhihong's threats. These people kept trying to get in contact with him, but every single word from them was equivalent to going back with them. They really thought he was easy to bully.

”Break ~”

As Li Chen yelled out, the Controlling Spirit Incantation appeared in his mind. It was just as Li Chen had thought: having a spirit artifact and becoming a Soul Treasure, its strength seemed to be quite high. Under Li Chen's control, it could only loosen the grip on his hand.
