Chapter 4190: Chapter 4190: Beyond Saving (Fourth Update)
He’s not a fool; it’s clear to him that Zhang Yan’er is trying to use him as a pawn!
Therefore, he didn’t entirely believe what Zhang Yan’er said; it might just be a rumor.
But now, his thoughts have changed!
No matter what, Gui Lingyun wouldn’t protect a servant to this extent, would she?
Could it be that there really is something between her and this kid!?
This suspicion clawed at Zhou Qiong’s heart like a sharp talon, and he even wanted to tear Ye Chen to pieces in front of everyone!
Yet, at this moment, Lin Xiaoshun spoke again, his voice turning cold as he said, "What if I insist on mentoring him? Miss Gui, you must know that just protecting someone is not enough for growth.
Right now, there is still some time before the Netherworld King Relics are opened, which is a great opportunity, don’t you think?"
After speaking, he suddenly increased his imposing presence and began walking step by step towards Gui Lingyun!
With those words, everyone present showed a slight change in their expression!
Lin Xiaoshun is too domineering!
Could it be that he really intends to fall out with the Gui Family here?
Meanwhile, Uncle Liang standing next to Gui Lingyun, and the elderly man behind Lin Xiaoshun engraved with purple patterns and in the Primordial Origin Realm, flashed their eyes, spiritual energy surging, ready to take action at any time!
Gui Lingyun’s delicate face paled slightly, biting her teeth hard. In terms of strength, Lin Xiaoshun was above her, and facing him made Gui Lingyun feel an overwhelmingly strong pressure!
Moreover, Lin Xiaoshun’s domineering actions made her extremely angry!
But, if it really came to a fight with Lin Xiaoshun, her side would definitely be defeated, and if she got injured now, the Netherworld King Relics would be out of the question for her!
For a moment, Gui Lingyun was also in a dilemma, unsure whether or not to take action!
And by now, Lin Xiaoshun was only a few steps away from her!
Her beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a look of determination, her aura turning sharp, as if she was about to strike!
But just then, a faint male voice echoed before the metal door.
"You think you can mentor me? Have some self-respect, will you?"
For a moment, the area extending thousands of miles from the metal door fell silent because of this one remark!
In everyone’s minds, it was as if a thunderous rumble had sounded!
And Lin Xiaoshun’s footsteps instantly froze!
The next moment, an intensely excited look appeared on everyone’s face, their eyes gleaming brightly!
They all turned to look at the source of the voice!
Who else could be speaking, if not Ye Chen?
A young man in the Holy Ancestor Realm, daring to be so arrogant?
Even when facing Lin Xiaoshun, he still refused to bow his head?
This is not just a matter of whether or not he’s pretending!
Rather, it’s true defiance, true strength!
Upon hearing this, Gui Lingyun’s delicate face became deathly pale...
Ye Chen, what are you doing!!!
Challenging Lin Xiaoshun at a time like this!?
Don’t you realize that Lin Xiaoshun is extremely mindful of his reputation, and saying such things in front of so many people... even Zhou Qiong might consider facing him!
There’s simply no chance he’ll let Ye Chen off now!
Gui Lingyun took a deep breath and said quietly to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, run away immediately, I’ll hold him off as best I can!"
Right now, only letting Ye Chen escape can bring a sliver of hope!
However, Ye Chen seemed to not have heard her at all, remaining indifferent!
Gui Lingyun was truly anxious!
Ye Chen wouldn’t really be that reckless, would he?
Actually intending to confront Lin Xiaoshun?
With his level of cultivation, it would simply be suicide!
At this moment, Lin Xiaoshun laughed, like a Poison Dragon opening its mouth!
His eyes were bloodshot, his face ferocious, looking at Ye Chen brutally as he spoke, "Good, very good. Miss Gui, your family’s servant really has guts, asking me to show some self-respect, huh?"
Gui Lingyun clenched her fists and quickly said, "It’s just him acting impulsively; I... apologize to you on his behalf..."
Bowing her head!
Gui Lingyun bowed her head for the sake of a servant!
Everyone’s reactions became even more dramatic!
And Zhou Qiong’s temple veins were already clearly visible!
"Apologize?" The fierceness in Lin Xiaoshun’s eyes grew stronger as he said, "Miss Gui, your apology means nothing to me; right now my only thought is to regain my dignity!!!"
By the time he finished, he was almost shouting!
And just then, Ye Chen stepped past Gui Lingyun, looking calmly at Lin Xiaoshun as he said, "Do you shout like your woman too? Shouting loudly doesn’t prove anything."
"Ye Chen, you!"
Gui Lingyun was truly furious!
While she tried desperately to protect Ye Chen, he was jumping right into the fire pit?
Could it be that he really thought Lin Xiaoshun wanted to mentor him?
Ye Chen gave Gui Lingyun a calm look and said, "You don’t need to interfere in this matter; he can’t hurt me."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Gui Lingyun was almost driven mad!
Martial artist confidence is good...
But there must be a limit, right?
She had gone to such lengths, and yet Ye Chen was telling her not to interfere?
As if she was meddling unnecessarily!
She had never encountered a man with such an attitude towards her!
Gui Lingyun snorted coldly and said, "Fine! I won’t interfere! If you enjoy courting death, then die!"
She was incredibly angry, with a hint of grievance in her heart, but despite what she said, Gui Lingyun resolved internally that if Ye Chen truly faced life-threatening danger, she would protect Ye Chen’s life at all costs!
Even though the consequence wouldn’t be good, it would be better than dying!
Lin Xiaoshun laughed at this, as though he’d never seen a fool to such an extent! With some heaven-defying spiritual root, they think they’re invincible?
Still, this suited his intention just fine!
Looking at Ye Chen, Lin Xiaoshun said, "Boy, now I understand a bit why Miss Gui would be interested in you. Yes, a man should be confident, but if that confidence is too much, it’s brainless, do you understand?"
"Understand?"
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile as he said, "You should have some dignity, understand? It seems you’re very confident, huh? Then, let’s not talk about mentoring, you don’t qualify. You’re not wanting to kill me, are you? Fine, I’ll give you a chance, how about a life-and-death battle between you and me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s brains nearly stopped functioning...
They each gaped with wide open mouths, stunned to the point of being petrified!
Initiate a life-and-death battle?
A Holy Ancestor Realm initiating a life-and-death battle with a Ninth-Level Heaven Qiankun Realm expert?
Aren’t they mistaken?
This isn’t just arrogance, it’s madness!
It’s freaking lunacy!
Even Lin Xiaoshun was momentarily petrified by Ye Chen’s words!
Gui Lingyun’s beautiful eyes suddenly filled with despair upon hearing this...
It’s over, Ye Chen is doomed...
