C288 157 Jiang Ling(2)
"Hmph! Jiaang Ling, do you think I don't exist?"
Jiaang Ling ignored his words and suddenly attacked Lin Chen. Anger flashed across Patriarch Lyu's face. With a low cry, his body appeared in front of Lin Chen like a ghost. A punch was thrown out. Spiritual Qi surged and shattered the incoming palm Qi. However, he also retreated a few feet.
"Patriarch Lyu. Do you really think you are my match? Your Lyu family is no longer the same as before." Jiang Ling stared coldly at Patriarch Lyu who had stopped her and shouted.
" I have said it before. Lin Chen is a guest of our Lyu family. Don't even think about touching him! " Patriarch Lyu didn't give in at all and spoke to Jiaang Ling in a harsh tone.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Perhaps it was because the commotion here was too great, the confrontation between the two had attracted the attention of many people, causing the surrounding area to become impenetrable.
"Chief Jiang, I think you should consider the consequences of your conflict with our Lyu family." At this moment, the people of the Lyu family had gathered around, and an elder spoke to Jiaang Ling.
"Hahaha, your old patriarch hasn't come out of secluded cultivation for three years, I guess he has already turned into a human. Do you think that your new patriarch can fight us, the old patriarchs? Don't overestimate yourself!" Jiaang Ling said arrogantly.
"Is the old patriarch here? Also, do you think I am qualified enough to be the new patriarch? You can try." Patriarch Lyu said with a smile.
"Good, good, good. As expected of the Lyu family, you have guts. Alright, I'll give you face today, but once he leaves the territory of the Lyu family... Let's see how you guys are going to protect him." Obviously, Jiaang Ling wouldn't dare to have a conflict with the Lyu family, even though the Lyu family had declined. Although the Jiang family had always wanted to replace them, however, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Patriarch Lyu's eyes slightly narrowed. He immediately frowned and said, What?" But I hope you can give our Lyu family some face and let this matter rest."
"Impossible, unless he breaks his own arms." Jiaang Ling said with a cold snort.
"Is that so?" Lin Chen smiled and said, "If you have the ability, come and get it yourself."
"Hahaha, you have guts. I hope you will still be so stubborn when the time comes." Jiaang Ling said in a low voice.
Lin Chen sneered. Killing intent surged out from the depths of his eyes, but now was not the time. If it was in the past, he could easily kill a cultivator of this level.
"Humph! Today, the Lyu family will protect you. I'll give them face. I'll let you go for now, but if you want to hide under their protection for the rest of your life... I'll accept it, but if you dare to step out of the Lyu family's sphere of influence... I'll let you understand what it means to beg for death!"
In the sky, Jiaang Ling was staring at Lin Chen with a sinister gaze. Then, he let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his sleeve, he brought Jiaang Zhong and landed in the direction of the Wang family.
Patriarch Lyu looked at Lin Chen and said, "Little brother Lin Chen, you can stay in our Lyu family for now. As long as you are in the territory of our Lyu family, that Jiaang Ling won't dare to attack you."
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. What Patriarch Lyu said was right, but he couldn't hide in the Lyu family for the rest of his life.
Lin Chen mused for a moment before nodding his head. However, he didn't try to be brave. That Jiaang Ling was indeed very difficult to deal with. Given his current strength, he would definitely die if he were to fight him directly.
"Don't worry. Our Lyu family won't be fine with us here." Patriarch Lyu smiled and said.
Lin Chen nodded and followed them back to the campsite of the Lyu family.
At night, a bright moon hung high in the sky.
In a simple room, Lin Chen sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, and his body was flickering with spiritual energy.
Right now, Lin Chen wanted to break through to the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage. Before this, he had already reached the peak of the Fourth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage in the Land of Dragon Rising, so he only needed an opportunity to break through again.
And now, there were people from the Jiang family eyeing him covetously from the outside. Therefore, Lin Chen was in a hurry to improve his cultivation. After all, the Lyu family wouldn't be able to protect him for the rest of his life.
Seven days later, Lin Chen finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in Lin Chen's body was surging. It was also the most important moment for him to break through to the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage.
Just like that, Lin Chen kept absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. It also caused the surrounding spiritual energy to form a vortex with him as the center. It continuously poured into Lin Chen's body. This speed was so fast that it made people gasp in amazement.
The speed at which the four sword meridians absorbed the spiritual energy was indeed extraordinary.
After another day, the surrounding whirlpool of spiritual energy was finally completely absorbed by Lin Chen. Lin Chen also faintly touched the barrier of the Fifth Layer of Astral Reaching Stage.0
However, when Lin Chen wanted to pierce it with his finger, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. Lin Chen's body began to shake violently. Waves of powerful spiritual energy were running wildly in Lin Chen's body.
This was the last moment!
If he succeeded, Lin Chen would be able to break through.
"Break through!"
Lin Chen shouted. With a loud bang, the entire room started to explode.
After a quarter of an hour, Lin Chen struggled to get up from the messy ground. His body was covered in blood and flesh. He said with some excitement, "I succeeded."
"What did you say? You left? Are you crazy? Jiaang Ling is waiting for you in the vicinity right now?"
An extremely stunned expression clearly surfaced on Lyu Xue's pretty face when she heard Lin Chen's words. Immediately, she knit her eyebrows slightly. She looked at the young man in front of her and spoke in a worried manner.
"Once you leave this place. Without the protection of our Lyu family, Jiaang Ling will definitely attack you. You should wait a little longer. It won't be too late for you to leave after he leaves. " Patriarch Lyu advised.
"It's not a good idea to stay here forever. As for that Jiaang Ling, I will think of a way to deal with him. Don't worry, a Jiaang Ling isn't qualified to take my life. " Lin Chen said confidently. This was the pride of Netherworld Sword Lord.
Lyu Xue, who was standing in front of him, frowned and stared at Lin Chen. She really didn't understand where Lin Chen's confidence came from. He was confident that he could escape from Jiaang Ling's hands.
Facing her gaze, Lin Chen also smiled. His face was still filled with confidence.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. You must be careful. Jiaang Ling is famous for being cruel and merciless." Lyu Xue asked with concern.
"Thank you. I understand."
Lin Chen said sincerely. Although he only had a simple cooperative relationship with the Lyu family in the beginning, the latter's protection had also caused him to have a good impression of the Lyu family.
Lin Chen was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, "I, Lin Chen, will remember all the care that the Lyu family has given me. If I am able to help in the future, I will definitely do my best to help."
Lyu Xue laughed softly. She immediately lifted her head and stared at Lin Chen with her pretty eyes. She said softly, "Alright, take care."
Lin Chen nodded slightly. Immediately, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Jiaang Ling. He secretly thought, "If I cannot kill the cradle, I will definitely return it a hundred times over."
My orders are not something they can take as they wish!
