Chapter 870: Chapter 122: Brother Fang, What Is Your True Origin? (Part 2)
Bang!
The man on the left side fell, and in the next instant, the man on the right side did the same.
Yin Yue’s little mouth curled up; she could confirm that Lin Chen had arrived.
"Who!"
Chen Shan reacted quickly. At the moment when his two subordinates were brutally killed right in front of him, he flashed towards Yin Yue to grab her.
However, he was fast, but someone was faster!
Just as Chen Shan’s figure moved, a golden light came rushing in, and caught off guard, Chen Shan hurriedly struck out with his palm.
Boom!
A tide-like energy rippled towards the surroundings. Chen Shan staggered back several steps, his right hand drooping, palm drenched in blood.
Just the first move, and he was already injured.
Chen Shan’s face showed an expression of shock, his pupils contracted as he looked at Fang Zhan who appeared in front of him; this person was not someone he could contend with.
If it were elsewhere, he would turn and flee by now, but here on Lotus Island, with his master overseeing, Chen Shan suppressed the panic in his heart and revealed a cold smile.
Even if Fang Zhan had the courage, he wouldn’t dare truly kill me. It’s very likely this little girl is his descendant, and he acted angrily seeing her about to suffer a slap.
Yet after the anger subsided, facing my master, Fang Zhan would surely choose to compromise, perhaps even apologize to me.
Chen Shan thought he was right, but suddenly a great sense of crisis welled up in his heart, his hair stood on end, and with almost no hesitation, his first action was to retreat, preparing to shout for his master to help.
But in the next instant, Chen Shan suddenly became dazed, and as soon as his eyes cleared, he only saw a sliver of ice-blue light.
Am I dead?
This was Chen Shan’s last questioning glance, filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Splat!
Two heartbeats later, Chen Shan collapsed onto the ground, a bloody hole in his brow, ending up the same as his two subordinates.
"Uncle Fang, you’re finally here."
Yin Yue’s expression remained unchanged, speaking to Lin Chen.
Even though only she and Lin Chen were in the courtyard now, she wouldn’t call Lin Chen by his real name before ensuring absolute safety around them.
"Let’s go!"
Lin Chen nodded, holding Yin Yue’s hand. Besides a Third-Grade Island Master, Lotus Island also housed several powerful Innate Second Realm individuals. This time, Lin Chen had purposely ambushed Chen Shan, not wanting to alert the Island Master.
Unless the Island Master’s Divine Thought was constantly monitoring Chen Shan’s residence, but it’s unlikely an Island Master would do such a thing. Although this would ensure Chen Shan could be saved at the first sign of danger, it also equated to surveillance for Chen Shan.
No Innate Martial Artist would want their every move under another’s Divine Soul Perception, especially with Chen Shan’s personality, he wouldn’t agree.
Yet Chen Shan’s death couldn’t be concealed for long, so before the other side discovered it, he needed to take Yin Yue as far away as possible.
However, in the next moment, Lin Chen released Yin Yue’s hand and looked towards the northern sky with an unpleasant expression.
The Island Master of Lotus Island had found out!
"What audacity, to kill my disciple!"
A figure of an old man stood atop the courtyard wall, his hair and beard blazing like turbulent fire. The formidable Innate Third Realm pressure transformed into tangible flames, sweeping down.
Outsiders only knew Chen Shan as his disciple, but they didn’t realize Chen Shan was actually his son who had wandered outside many years ago.
Back then, to pursue Martial Arts Cultivation, he offended many, fearing his enemies would retaliate against Chen Shan, he kept his existence hidden.
It wasn’t until he reached the Innate Second Realm, with the enemies either exterminated or dead from old age, that he chose to bring Chen Shan by his side.
Yet, as a precaution, he still didn’t let Chen Shan acknowledge his lineage, instead accepting him as a disciple, to interact as master and pupil.
This arrangement was to ensure, in case of unforeseen circumstances or powerful enemies seeking him out, Chen Shan might have a chance to escape.
In the many islands of the East Sea, the relationship between Martial Artists and their disciples wasn’t firm; many disciples chose to join other masters after their own master’s death, so numerous powerhouses chose not to eradicate their enemy’s disciples.
Hu Tingchun never expected that after arranging the most secure identity for his son, his son would die at the hands of an enemy brought upon himself.
"I will destroy your Divine Soul!"
In this moment, Hu Tingchun was no longer considering Lin Chen’s secrets. He wanted him dead!
The fiery giant palm covered the sky and thundered down, burning the air into web-like scorch marks. Lin Chen’s pupils contracted, pulling Yin Yue back quickly, pushing his Divine Soul Perception to the extreme, finally realizing this palm was unavoidable.
Pushing Yin Yue behind him, Lin Chen instead advanced forward, striking out with his palm violently.
Boom!
The two palms collided, and Lin Chen was swiftly sent flying backward, the terrifying airwaves knocking over all the wooden columns in the courtyard.
Cough, cough!
Smashed against the wall, as Lin Chen landed back on the ground, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Lin Chen only injured, a trace of astonishment emerged in Hu Tingchun’s old eyes—a mere Innate Second Realm Martial Artist could withstand his furious palm with only minor injuries.
If it were before, he’d have inquired about this person’s background, but now...
"Senior must be the Island Master of Lotus Island, Chen Shan’s master. I bear no grudge against Chen Shan, yet he attacked my junior, slain by me now, deservedly so. Senior, as the Island Master, would you attack me without distinguishing right from wrong?"
Lin Chen spoke slowly, and this made the anger in Hu Tingchun’s eyes reach an unparalleled peak. How absurd! He came to Lotus Island, murdered my son, and dared to question me.
