Chapter 290: Chapter 290: An Arrow from the West

"How is this possible?"

Ye Fan’s face was full of disbelief.

To give Zhao Tianwu a chance to battle Ling Chen, he even stopped Mo Han.

But, against all odds, Zhao Tianwu died.

And he died in an inexplicable manner.

He didn’t even manage to display his full strength.

It seemed as though he rushed up to his death.

Such a bizarre scene was indeed inconceivable.

"Good!"

Chi Shen was the first to react, unable to help but clap and laugh heartily!

Even he did not expect Ling Chen to kill Zhao Tianwu so easily.

He did not choose the wrong person!

Nor did he waste his efforts in supporting Ling Chen at the risk of offending the Jiang Family!

Mo Han, Ling Wu, and others showed deep surprise in their eyes.

"What’s going on?"

"Damn, I totally don’t understand this!"

"Does Zhao Tianwu have some illness?"

"Yes, this does seem like Zhao Tianwu deliberately sought death!"

...

People gradually came to their senses, exclaiming one after another.

In their view, this scene was utterly baffling!

Qin Shi, Lin Fuyao, and other students from the Eight Great Academies wore bitter expressions.

This was supposed to be a student competition, yet Ling Chen killed even a Palace-Master level powerhouse; what’s the point of competing in the Eight Palaces martial contest now?

Among them, who could possibly be a match for Ling Chen?

...

"This useless fool!"

Jiang Wuyan trembled all over with anger.

Originally, he thought that with Zhao Tianwu taking action, victory was assured, and capturing Ling Chen would be easy.

But who would have known that Zhao Tianwu wouldn’t even manage to harm a single hair on Ling Chen, and instead lost his own life?

What infuriated him even more was Ling Chen’s bizarre strength; among those present, probably only he himself would be able to capture him!

But with Chi Shen blocking, he simply couldn’t make a move against Ling Chen.

His thoughts shifted, and his gaze turned towards Ye Fan on the Observation Platform.

"Elder Ye!"

Jiang Wuyan spoke out.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan finally came back to his senses.

He already began to feel a hint of regret.

Had he known Ling Chen was so powerful, capable of killing even a Sixth Layer Primordial Pill Realm, he definitely would not have helped Jiang Wuyan.

Now, his interference had completely offended Ling Chen.

Thinking of inviting Ling Chen to the Wangxing Academy now seemed almost impossible!

With this thought, Ye Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jiang, you take action. Elder Chi, leave him to me!"

If he couldn’t recruit him, then he might as well nip this talent in the bud.

This had always been his modus operandi!

Chi Shen’s expression turned cold and said, "Ye Fan, are you really going to hinder me?"

Ling Chen was, after all, a student of the Eight Great Academies, and the talent he displayed was unprecedented, only surpassable by the Crown Prince who possessed the Sacred Body.

Such a genius, once grown, would definitely become a weapon for protecting the nation! With both the Crown Prince and Ling Chen, in terms of top combat strength, their Great Xia Dynasty would surpass the Great Chu Dynasty!

But, Ye Fan, for his own selfish interests, actually wanted to use the Jiang Family’s hand to kill Ling Chen.

"Elder Chi, taking a life for a life is the natural order of heaven and earth. Moreover, this young man is disrespectful to his elders; he even dares to kill the Palace Master of Taiwu Academy. In the future, he is likely to become a traitor!"

Ye Fan looked righteously indignant.

"Heh heh!"

Ling Chen sneered coldly and said, "The rules of this competition were set by you. Killing Jiang Wusheng and using ’taking a life for a life’ as an excuse? As for disrespecting my elders, haha, old Zhao Tianwu wanted to kill me, am I not allowed to fight back? Really, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find an excuse."

Ye Fan looked towards Chi Shen and said, "Elder Chi, you see, he even dares to refute me. What else would he dare not do? Maybe in the future, he might even commit regicide. Elder Chi, are you sure you still want to protect this youngster?"

"Elder Ye!"

Chi Shen shook his head and said, "I don’t know what will become of Ling Chen in the future! But I know why our Great Xia Dynasty is now at a disadvantage in our clash with the Great Chu Dynasty."

Ling Chen is such an exceptional genius, yet Ye Fan seeks to suppress and kill him. How will our Great Xia Dynasty compete with Great Chu in the future?

"Enough, less nonsense! It’s been many years since I last took action, today let’s loosen up my muscles!"

Chi Shen took a deep breath.

"Kid, this is as far as I can help you! Whether you can escape from Jiang Wuyan’s hands or not depends on your luck now."

Chi Shen’s voice entered Ling Chen’s ears.

"Thank you, Lord Chi!"

Ling Chen replied telepathically, "If I survive, I will definitely join the Academic Palace and not disappoint you!"

"Good! I’ll be waiting!"

Chi Shen telepathically replied.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan swept into the sky and clashed with Chi Shen.

"Kid, today I personally will capture you!"

Jiang Wuyan grinned sinisterly and said, "I want to see what tricks you have left, to escape from the palm of my hand!"

"Are you sure you can capture me?"

Ling Chen smirked.

Seeing Ling Chen so calm, Jiang Wuyan’s eyelids twitched, "Could it be, you are a top-tier high-level Divine Thought Master?"

Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power Cultivation was completely exposed.

With his strength in Spiritual Power, Ling Chen was no match for him.

"No."

Ling Chen shook his head.

"Then you might as well surrender!"

Jiang Wuyan sneered coldly.

His figure, like lightning, burst towards Ling Chen.

He was a Primordial Pill Realm eighth level cultivator, and possessed a Thunder Spirit Body, definitely not someone Ling Chen could easily contend with!

However, he was extremely cautious.

After all, the death of Zhao Tianwu had served as a warning to him.

A Spiritual Power Defense Shield formed around his body, his left hand holding a middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, and his right hand another middle-grade Spiritual Weapon.

"Kill!"

Jiang Wusheng mentally cried out, and his right hand longsword stabbed towards Ling Chen’s Dantian. Once he broke through Ling Chen’s Dantian, the kid would be at his mercy.

However, Ling Chen really showed no signs of striking back.

Even at this moment, he withdrew the Spiritual Power in front of him.

"What is he doing?"

Everyone stared intently at Ling Chen, clueless.

Ling Chen, the type who even dared to kill Noble Family’s Young Master, didn’t seem like someone who would just accept his fate!

"Swoosh!"

Just then, the sound of breaking wind arose.

A black streak of light shot towards this side.

"Ding!"

The black streak of light, moving extremely fast, passed under Ling Chen’s armpit and directly struck Jiang Wusheng’s longsword, emitting a metallic clashing sound.

That black streak of light turned out to be a black arrow!

The immense force burst forth, the longsword could no longer be held and was directly knocked away.

Jiang Wusheng was also forced back ten feet.

"Who is it?!"

Jiang Wusheng looked towards Ling Chen’s back with a vigilant expression.

An arrow that could repel him was definitely not from an ordinary person!

"Who do you think you are, daring to kill my disciple?"

A cold voice came, and a figure slowly levitated into the air.

This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise.

The battle between Chi Shen and Ye Fan high in the sky came to a halt.

Everyone traced the sound, only to see a middle-aged man dressed in green, holding a Xuanyu Bow, with his right hand gripping an arrow, the bowstring fully drawn!
