Chapter 316: Chapter 314: The Villain Dies From Talking Too Much! [Second Update]

"Who are you?" Xu Jinlong bellowed angrily upon seeing the newcomer.

The dozens of black-clad bodyguards by his side also menacingly surrounded them.

Shen Xingchen was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Li Chen.

Li Chen smiled faintly and said, "Haven’t you been looking for me all along? Now that I’m here, how come you don’t recognize me?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Xu Jinlong looked enlightened and exclaimed urgently, "Was it you who stole my Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant?"

Li Chen responded with a smile but did not speak, tacitly confirming his accusation.

Xu Jinlong, infuriated, laughed sarcastically: "Haha, truly, you refused the way to heaven, yet you intrude uninvited into hell. Leave behind the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, and I might consider leaving your corpses intact!"

While speaking, he signaled with his eyes to the bodyguards on either side.

The bodyguards, catching the hint, surrounded Li Chen and Shen Xingchen with bright and sharp weapons in hand.

Shen Xingchen, new to the worldly society, shivered from head to toe in fear at such a formation, unable to utter a word.

Li Chen, looking directly at Xu Jinlong, said solemnly, "I’ll give you a chance to save your life. Tell me about the origin of this Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant!"

Hearing Li Chen’s bold words, Xu Jinlong was utterly dumbfounded.

Shen Xingchen was also stunned; she even doubted whether Li Chen’s brain was waterlogged.

She then took a side glance at Li Chen’s face and sighed inwardly: Alas, this guy is an incomprehensible fool; such a waste of a handsome face.

Xu Jinlong, burning with rage, shouted, "Boy, you’re quite arrogant. I hope you can still boast like this in a while!"

After his words, he waved his hands to the side again, giving the order: "Men, break his legs first!"

Several bodyguards responded, took up their gleaming machetes, and moved towards Li Chen like wolves that had spotted a plump lamb.

Just as they raised their machetes, Shen Xingchen screamed in fright and instinctively closed her eyes.

Li Chen, however, gave a devilish smile, rubbed his fingers together to form a blade, and drew a dazzling arc through the air.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The three machetes were cut in half by his finger blade, and their owners’ throats were slashed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

The once aggressive black-clothed bodyguards instinctively stepped back.

Even Xu Jinlong, who had been the most brazen, retreated behind two of his personal bodyguards out of survival instinct.

These two bodyguards were expensive Inner Strength Masters.

Xu Jinlong believed that with their presence, crushing Li Chen, a youth whose hair had barely grown, would still be a trivial matter.

Thinking this, he bowed to the two Inner Strength Masters, "Master Zhao, Master Qi, as long as you can kill this youngster and retrieve the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, I’ll give each of you ten million instead of five million!"

Wealth tempts the heart, and Inner Strength Martial Artists are human too, naturally not immune to greed.

Besides, they assumed, believing that Li Chen, formidable as he might be, was just a young man who was likely just an Inner Strength Martial Artist and certainly no match for them.

Master Warrior Zhao pointed at Li Chen’s nose and barked, "Young man, considering the hardships of your training, be wise and hand over the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant. Then sever your own hands, and my brother here and I assure you, we’ll let you live!"

Warrior Qi caught a glimpse of Shen Xingchen’s graceful figure and beautiful appearance behind Li Chen, and licked his lips with a lustful and lewd expression.

"Also, leave that little wench behind you to take good care of me!"

Upon hearing they were targeting her, Shen Xingchen’s legs trembled violently like sieves from fright. She looked at Li Chen pitifully, hoping he would have a conscience and not abandon her.

Li Chen never expected such ant-like Inner Strength Martial Artists to dare jump around in front of him.

He squinted slightly, looking at them as if they were already dead, and coldly asked, "Do you know which day will be your last?"

Master Zhao, furious, roared loudly, "Boy, you’re quite arrogant. Don’t think just because you know a bit of Kung Fu that you can look down on everyone. Let me tell you, it’s because you haven’t faced a real Inner Strength Martial Artist, especially one at our level!"

While speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight as if he was going to fight a tiger, "Today, I’ll let you open your eyes wide and witness a true Inner Strength Martial Artist..."

Before Master Zhao could finish his words, Li Chen’s fingertips traced a sharp Sword Shadow, unleashing a Sky Breaking Slash.

"Puchi!"

Blood streamed down from the center of Master Zhao’s forehead, his eyes bulging in fury, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but before a word could escape, he spewed a mouthful of blood and collapsed forever into a pool of blood.

Li Chen glanced at him disdainfully and coldly said, "What a nuisance, didn’t your mother tell you that villains die from talking too much?"

Seeing their companion killed instantly by Li Chen’s finger, Warrior Qi was terrified, losing control of his bowels.

Li Chen glanced sideways at him and commanded, "Kneel down!"

Warrior Qi, scared out of his wits, collapsed to his knees with a "thud."

With a playful smile, Li Chen looked at him and repeated his earlier question.

"Do you know when you are going to die?"

Where would Warrior Qi dare to talk back, immediately shaking his head like an obedient child, saying he didn’t know.

Li Chen sneered, his eyes sharp as swords, making Warrior Qi’s heart tremble with fear.

"Hehe, since you don’t know, let me tell you. Your time of death is... now!"

Before the word "now" even reached Warrior Qi’s ears, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat, and on looking down, saw himself drenched in blood.

Seeing his two highly paid experts instantly killed by Li Chen, Xu Jinlong was already scared out of his wits. His previous arrogance and pride were completely gone.

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, whatever you want, money or women, I can give you!"

Li Chen coldly smiled and swayed the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant in front of him.

"Lord Long, now can you tell me the origin of this pendant?"

Like a pecking chicken, Xu Jinlong nodded repeatedly and then, like bamboo tubes spilling beans, explained in detail how he obtained the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant.

Finally, he didn’t forget to add that the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant was intended as a birthday gift for the sixty-year-old birthday of Xuan Tian, the Outer Elder of the Heavenly Master Sect.

He tried to intimidate Li Chen with this, implying his backing was the Heavenly Master Sect. If Li Chen dared to kill him, he should weigh whether he could withstand the wrath of the Heavenly Master Sect.

Hearing the name "Heavenly Master Sect," Shen Xingchen also tensed up.

She had never imagined that the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant was intended as a birthday gift for the Outer Elder of the Heavenly Master Sect. Had they known earlier, there was no way their Swallow Sect would dare get involved in this mess.

It must be known that the Heavenly Master Sect is an ancient Mystical Sect passed down for thousands of years, with a terrifying depth of power, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Their Swallow Sect, aside from a brief period of glory during the lifetime of their founder Li San, was essentially a minor sect. In the eyes of such a colossal entity like the Heavenly Master Sect, they were merely an ant that could be crushed at any moment, hardly worth mentioning.

The author needs to have surgery, a major surgery under general anesthesia at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital. Updates will be poor for a while, but I’ll try my best to keep updating. If you are in a hurry, feel free to stockpile the book. It definitely won’t be published before reaching a million. Well, that’s it, good night!
