Chapter 2140: Chapter 2141: Beat the Small One, Then Came the Big One

"Who are you? You dare to meddle in the affairs of the Azure Dragon Society?"

Chang Qing glared at Lin Chen as his good deed was interrupted. His eyes showed a hint of resentment.

Lin Chen ignored him and turned his head to ask Sun Tianming, who had just arrived, "Is this what they call the Azure Dragon Society?"

"Yes." Sun Tianming nodded indifferently, with a look of disdain on his face, clearly full of contempt for the actions of these people before him.

"They just rely on their early entry and slightly higher strength to bully the weak." Sun Tianming added.

"Indeed, it’s a gathering place for a mix of scoundrels." Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

This feeling of being despised made his anger rise, and he shouted, "Are you two pretending I don’t exist? Someone with just a first-level Spiritual Energy dare to meddle in my business?"

Chang Qing was at the eighth level of Spiritual Energy, obviously much higher than Lin Chen. He easily saw through Lin Chen’s cultivation as the spiritual energy fluctuations he emitted were extremely weak, so Chang Qing didn’t care but looked warily at Sun Tianming beside him.

He found it hard to see through Sun Tianming’s strength. Standing there, he seemed like an ordinary person, but there were no ordinary people in the Green Ripple Sect.

"Big brother, don’t worry about me anymore. You should leave quickly. Even I am no match for her, let alone you."

After hearing Chang Qing’s words, Lin Chen and Sun Tianming remained calm. However, the young girl Lin Chen had rescued looked anxious, her face still marked with tears showing more worry. She knew she had been in the sect for half a year and had reached the third level of Spiritual Energy, but she was still no match for Chang Qing, let alone Lin Chen.

"He is an exception; his strength cannot be estimated by ordinary cultivation levels. Don’t worry." Sun Tianming said to the girl behind him with a faint smile.

"Really?" the girl said blankly.

"I’ll see how capable he is!" With a shout, Chang Qing called out to the few people gathered around him, "Go at him!"

After the shout, Chang Qing showed an example by moving a mere two or three steps closer to Lin Chen; he was already at Lin Chen’s front.

"Crimson Refining Palm!"

A low roar came from Chang Qing’s mouth as he thrust out a hand, spiritual energy poured into it, causing a faint crimson color to rise in his hands.

The color was like fire, seemingly carrying intense heat, and his hand stretching forward made the air seem to steam, producing a "hiss" sound.

When he struck, it was his signature move!

"This is secured. This move by Brother Chang has been practiced for a long time, used skillfully, even at the seventh level, it can cause serious injury, let alone Lin Chen!"

The crowd paused, originally ready to come forward, staying where they were. Behind Lin Chen, a few shadows flashed to both sides, looking at Lin Chen with pity in their eyes.

In half a breath, the palm was already close to Lin Chen’s chest; a solid impact followed, making Chang Qing extremely excited!

"Not strong enough, and you dare to play hero!"

Chang Qing grinned maliciously, his gaze no longer lingered on Lin Chen but instead stayed on Sun Tianming beside him. If Sun Tianming made any move even slightly, Chang Qing would not hesitate to dodge it!

"Are you done?"

A calm voice came from Lin Chen’s mouth, pulling Chang Qing back to reality. He looked at Lin Chen with some horror, his pupils dilated. He exclaimed, "Impossible! Why are you unharmed?!"

"Why does everyone like to say the same thing?"

Lin Chen shook his head and then slapped Chang Qing on the face.

With a "puff," Chang Qing’s head leaned sideways, and then blood spurted from his twisted lips, staining the ground red.

In front of Lin Chen, Chang Qing spun. The immense force of a single slap ultimately made him spin several times in place! Fortunately, Chang Qing had the strength of level eight; otherwise, just this one blow would be enough to break his neck and kill him!

As he stopped, Lin Chen kicked out, hitting Chang Qing’s abdomen. With the kick, Chang Qing flew out, landing several meters away on the ground.

The disdain he showed just before vanished, replaced by his body lying on the ground like a dead dog. His head tilted, and blood continuously flowed from his mouth, a sight that evoked fear in others.

Within the crowd, someone gulped, as this scene exceeded their understanding!

"You’re Lin Chen!" someone among them exclaimed in shock.

Weak spiritual energy, yet a powerful body, there was no one else in the Green Ripple Sect with such strength except Lin Chen!

"So, do you want to try too?" Lin Chen said lazily, looking indifferently at the few people still lingering in front of him.

"How... how could we."

Their voices seemed weak; initially, they just came here to have some fun, who would have thought they’d provoke someone so terrifying. Even Chang Qing was defeated under his feet, let alone them.

"Then get lost." Lin Chen said dismissively, showing no interest in wasting effort on them.

Behind Lin Chen, the girl’s clear eyes flickered with indescribable emotions; she couldn’t have imagined Lin Chen would defeat Chang Qing so overwhelmingly.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Thank you for saving me; I, Lin Wan’er, will remember this kindness!"

"No need, just couldn’t stand injustice." Lin Chen replied plainly; he simply couldn’t tolerate these people bullying the weak.

"A good act for justice."

At that moment, applause sounded from one side, accompanying the voice; a handsome young man emerged from the shadows. His fair face carried a slight arrogance as he approached Lin Chen, pausing briefly by Chang Qing and then looking toward Lin Chen, saying, "But your sense of justice made me lose an ally, isn’t that inappropriate?"

Lin Chen looked at the newcomer, frowning slightly. From this person, he sensed a highly uncomfortable feeling, detecting an intense sense of danger in the gaze the young man shot him.

This was an entirely different feeling from the disciples he encountered previously.

"This is one of the leaders, Tao Yuyu, known for his Shadow Concealing Step, extremely fast, good at ambushes," Sun Tianming said softly near Lin Chen’s ear, occasionally raising his gaze toward the young man, filled with indescribable, unspeakable hatred.
