Chapter 428: Chapter 422: Unbelievably Bad (Part 1)

"Brother Su, don’t be impulsive!" In the same second, Lan Su drew close to Su Chen, whispering.

She too had noticed the rage and killing intent in Su Chen’s eyes, so she was worried that Su Chen might act impulsively.

Yang Ling, Yang Yu, and Huang Qi were all tough opponents, or rather, any Martial Cultivator who entered the Holy Spirit Martial Path was not to be trifled with.

Although Su Chen was strong, he absolutely couldn’t be a match for them, especially since they were three and Su Chen was alone.

After reminding Su Chen, Lan Su’s beautiful eyes suddenly lifted, gone was the previous fear and excessive caution, and she glared at Yang Ling, demanding, "Senior Brother Yang Ling! You must apologize to Sister Xia Xi!"

Yang Ling’s mockery of Xia Xi’s looks didn’t just anger Su Chen; Lan Su, An Wuchao, and Wei Zixiao were all enraged as well.

However, An Wuchao and Wei Zixiao were still restraining themselves, controlling their urge to react, while Lan Su could no longer hold back.

"Lan Su, are you seeking death?" Yang Ling’s face grew cold, his sinister eyes shifting from Su Chen to Lan Su.

"Then you can try!" Lan Su bit her lip and shouted back.

Lan Su seemed like a completely different person.

Previously, she was like the girl next door, pure and cute, and when Yang Ling had scolded her, she was scared and meek.

But now, she was totally different.

Yang Ling had his pride wounded; it was inconceivable to him that Lan Su dared to talk to him like this.

Damn it!!!

Subconsciously, he was about to take action, but at that moment, Chen Yu stepped in front of Yang Ling, "Brother Ling, calm your anger!"

"Chen Yu, what are you doing? Blocking me? Are you blocking me for a woman?" Yang Ling’s face was as cold as a slab of ice, his aura spreading unrestrainedly.

Very strong.

Yang Ling’s aura was extremely strong.

Su Chen assessed it silently in his heart.

Yang Ling was at the Sixth Turn Middle Stage of the Hollow Void Realm, yet his aura was even more terrifying than his level, and his actual combat power could even approach that of someone in the Sixth Turn Later Stage.

He believed that he should be able to defeat an ordinary Martial Cultivator at the Sixth Turn Early Stage of the Hollow Void Realm, but facing Yang Ling...

The odds were against him.

That was why he was silent now. When Lan Su stood up and stopped the imminent clash with Yang Ling, he did something very, very rare for him; he kept quiet.

One could say he shrank back!

He was scared!

Why?

Not because he was afraid of dying in battle against Yang Ling.

He was never afraid of death!!!

But right now, Ling Long needed him.

If he died, Ling Long’s death would be certain. Currently, Ling Long was clinging to life, waiting for him to find her Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Even injury, a serious injury, was unacceptable to Su Chen; with injuries, his chances of finding the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the Inner Layer would be greatly reduced.

He swallowed his pride in an incredibly rare display. After giving Yang Ling a furious glare, he silently lowered his head.

Aside.

Chen Yu pulled Yang Ling aside and then, the two of them whispered amongst themselves.

A few breaths later.

Although Yang Ling still had a cold expression on his face, he seemed to no longer hold a grudge against Lan Su. It was as if he had forgotten the incident where Lan Su had publicly refuted him, wounding his pride.

He gave Lan Su a deep look, then surprisingly turned to Xia Xi and said, "Xia Xi, I was a bit harsh just now, don’t take it to heart!"

Yang Ling actually apologized...

Incredible.

"Jiuyou, did you hear what Chen Yu and Yang Ling were just talking about?" Su Chen curiously asked.

"They talked about Lan Su’s hidden identity, Yang Ling got scared. He can’t afford to provoke her, so he backed down!" Jiuyou said disdainfully.

Xia Xi said nothing, just quietly to herself, as if the mockery of her looks did not bother her at all.

She glanced subtly at Su Chen.

Just now, Su Chen had been furious on her behalf, even harboring thoughts of killing; she had felt it.

But, quickly, she also felt Su Chen forcefully suppress that anger and murderous intent.

Xia Xi couldn’t understand why. A hint of self-mockery and disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She thought that Su Chen had quelled his rage and killing intent because he had become fearful, and perhaps because the appearance she now presented to him wasn’t worth him risking his life to protect.

"Brother Chen Yu, whether you believe it or not, Brother Su truly is our lifesaver!" Then, Lan Su spoke up again: "He and us together..."

"Then let’s be together!" Chen Yu said with a smile: "Lan Su, as long as you’re happy, that’s fine!"

Having said this, Chen Yu gave Su Chen a glance: "Kid, whatever means you used to make Lan Su and the others believe in you, that’s your skill. But I’m kindly warning you, don’t get any improper ideas, otherwise Brother Yang, Brother Qi, and I could easily take you down!"

"Do you hear that?" Chen Yu finished, and Yang Ling also suddenly barked out.

"Agreed!" After a few breaths of silence, Su Chen actually nodded.

Yes.

Nodded.

It seemed, shamefully unimaginable.

An Wuchao, Wei Ziyao, Lan Su, and Xia Xi all seemed incredulous and felt a bit of loss and disappointment. They had hoped that Su Chen would show some courage, if not directly confronting Chen Yu, Yang Ling, and Huang Qi at this moment, at least displaying some bravery.

A martial cultivator should never be lacking in courage.

"Young boy Su, by doing this..." Jiuyou sighed, "you’re going to disappoint them!"

Su Chen said indifferently, "Even if I’m faced with disappointment, misunderstanding, and ridicule, I can endure it. If Lan Su, Xia Xi, An Wuchao, and Wei Ziyao think I lack courage, so be it. As long as I can safely reach the Inner Layer and ensure that I have the means to save Ling Long, I am willing. Ling Long would discard her life for me, so what is this little sacrifice? Besides, isn’t this only temporary? Why the rush? Heh heh... there’s plenty of time ahead."

"Young boy Su, you’ve matured, and you’ve become more of a man!" After a few breaths of silence, Jiuyou exclaimed, "I’ve always admired your hot blood, your wildness, your fearlessness... but now I see, in addition to those qualities, you value your relationships even more!"

"Lan Su, do you really think we would believe that someone as cowardly as this kid actually saved you all? Kill the Blood-Backed Bull? Heh heh..." Chen Yu laughed derisively.

Lan Su wanted to say something more, but didn’t know what to say. She looked towards Su Chen, her eyes clearly pleading for him to show some bravery.

She had previously cautioned Su Chen not to engage with Yang Ling and the others for Su Chen’s own safety, but deep down, now that Su Chen had heeded her advice, indeed he was safe, yet he was not the person she admired...

So at this moment, she felt conflicted.

She remained silent.
