The situation suddenly became chaotic. Just as Zhan Chen was watching, he suddenly saw Lin Qing thrusting his sword towards him while shouting, "Traitor Zhan Chen, die!"
Zhan Chen suddenly had a headache. He had no choice but to pull out his sword and fight with Lin Qing. Because he was afraid of hurting his fellow disciples, he fought with caution. Even though Lin Qing's wood attribute Qi was restrained by him, the two of them were evenly matched.
As they fought, Lin Qing suddenly smiled and whispered to him, "Senior Brother Zhan, what's wrong with you today? Based on your strength, you should be able to defeat me easily. "
Zhan Chen was shocked. "Does he know that I'm a spy? Why? He's just a disciple, there's no reason for him to know. "
He knew that Li Jianshu wouldn't let too many people know this secret no matter what.
Looking at Zhan Chen's shocked expression, Lin Qing said, "Senior Brother Zhan, I know everything about you. If you want to act, then act more realistically!" After saying that, the sword in his hand became even fiercer.
Zhan Chen had no choice but to bring out more of his strength. For a moment, the battle between the two of them became even more imposing. It even attracted the attention of the people around them.
"You've become stronger, Lin Qing!" Zhan Chen said sincerely.
Lin Qing replied with a smile, "This is the result of my cultivation after losing to Senior Brother. Ever since you became an elite disciple, I've always been chasing after your footsteps. Unfortunately, I can't catch up. Instead, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger!"
Zhan Chen could hear the unwillingness in his tone, so he comforted him in a low voice, "Lin Qing, actually, you don't need to belittle yourself. Our attributes are mutually exclusive. The gap between us isn't that big."
After listening to his encouragement, Lin Qing couldn't help but smile. It was a sincere smile, and he said, "Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to be such a gentle person. We've been confused by your usual cold appearance. You don't need to comfort me. I know very well that the gap between us will only get bigger. Even I was able to become an elite disciple because I filled someone else's quota after entering the True Martial Secret Realm. So, you don't need to encourage me."
Zhan Chen was speechless for a moment, but after a while, he still encouraged him, "My strength is also built on fortuitous encounters. Without these, I'm not even a fart. You will definitely encounter many fortuitous encounters in the future."
"There's no future." Lin Qing's eyes dimmed, but he whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
"What are you saying?" Zhan Chen asked again.
Lin Qing only reacted after hearing his shout. He gave Zhan Chen a look, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, come with me."
Zhan Chen was curious, but he still nodded.
Thus, the two of them fought and retreated, gradually fading out of people's sight. They arrived at a corner where no one could see them. Although the two of them were still in a fighting state, they were acting more and more.
It was only until here that Zhan Chen asked, "Lin Qing, did Elder Zheng ask you to lure me here?"
"That's right. Elder Zheng already understood your difficulties, so he specially asked me to solve this matter!"
"Oh! Quickly tell me, what is the solution? "When Zhan Chen heard that the sect already had a solution, his eyebrows raised in joy.
"The solution is all in here." Lin Qing took off the Qiankun bag from his waist, and threw it to Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen stopped the sword in his hand, caught the Qiankun bag, and probed it with his consciousness. Sure enough, there was a letter inside. He was overjoyed, and withdrew his consciousness. Just as he was about to thank Lin Qing, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He shouted, "Lin Qing, what are you doing?!"
What he saw was Lin Qing holding a sword to his neck, smiling at him.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Zhan Chen continued to persuade him.
Lin Qing smiled and shook his head, saying, "Zhan Chen, you won't understand my feelings for the Golden Elephant Sect. Don't you want a head? There's one here! " With that, he resolutely slid the sharp sword in his hand across his neck, and hot blood gushed out.
He struggled and fell down, until finally, he squeezed out a few words, "Senior — Zhan — Brother — You — must — succeed!" After saying that, he breathed his last and died.
"No!" Zhan Chen didn't dare to believe the reality in front of him, and tears welled up in his eyes. Unfortunately, what was done could not be undone. He had no choice but to do as Lin Qing said.
Then, with a wild cry, he charged back to the center of the battlefield. At this time, the Malicious Spirits Sect was struggling to hold on. Other than Gou Yang 'E and Zheng Keji who were fighting evenly, the other two Demon Sect Elders were dead and the other was heavily injured. The Demon Sect disciples below were in a precarious situation, and only a few were left.
At this time, Zhan Chen charged back and activated the third stage of the True Martial Burst Energy Formula. The Tiger Roar Sword turned into a whirlwind with hatred, sweeping everything in its path. For a moment, no matter if it was the Golden Elephant Sect disciples or the Malicious Spirits Sect disciples, no one dared to get close to him.
Many of the Malicious Spirits Sect disciples took the opportunity to escape from the battle. What was even more unfortunate was that Zhan Chen's intrusion seemed to have distracted Zheng Keji. With a careless move, he was hit by Gou Yang 'E's palm and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Gou Yang 'E turned around and saw that two-thirds of his underlings had died here. He didn't dare to hesitate and shouted, "Retreat!"
The Demon Sect disciples instantly felt as if they had been pardoned, and fled wildly. Many of the Golden Elephant Sect disciples wanted to chase after them, but were stopped by Zheng Keji's shout.
Someone asked puzzledly, "Great Elder Zheng, now that we have the upper hand, why are we letting the tiger return to the mountain?"
Zheng Keji's face showed fear and said, "I was injured in the battle just now, but Gou Yang 'E's abilities are unfathomable. If we continue to persevere, I'm afraid that something will happen. Since we have already achieved a great victory in this battle, we shouldn't be greedy and advance rashly. We need to plan for the long term."
Everyone then came to a realization and nodded their heads in agreement. However, they didn't notice that Zheng Keji's eyes were watching Zhan Chen's back as he murmured, "The rest is up to you, Zhan Chen!"
Gou Yang 'E left in high spirits, but he lost his troops and returned in disappointment. When he returned to the tent, he sat down on his seat and was extremely vexed.
His underlings stood on both sides and kept quiet out of fear. At this time, no one dared to step forward and provoke him.
At this moment, Gou Yang 'E was very afraid, because Liao Wu Dao was the same as him. They only liked success and hated failure. If he brought back the news of losing his troops and generals, he would definitely be tortured by him. When he thought of the tortures that Liao Wu Dao had researched, he was terrified.
Suddenly, he saw Zhan Chen standing below with a cold expression. A glint flashed across his eyes, and he shouted at him, "Zhan Chen, did you gain anything in the battle just now?"
At this moment, Zhan Chen was still in great sorrow and confusion. When he suddenly heard Gou Yang 'E calling out to him, he knew that his test had come. He forcefully changed his expression and pretended to be proud of himself. He took out Lin Qing's head from his Cosmos Sack and tossed it to Gou Yang' E.
Gou Yang 'E caught it and looked at it. His anger turned into laughter. "Hahaha, the head of the Golden Elephant Sect's elite disciple, Lin Qing. Zhan Chen did well, you're ruthless! You really did not disappoint the high expectations I placed on you! Zhan Chen, this time, I will personally recommend you in front of the Sect Leader. "
"Thank you, Great Elder Gou. I will do my best for the Evil Spirit Sect and Great Elder Gou." When Zhan Chen said this, he knelt on the ground and buried his head in the ground. It wasn't to put on an act, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to conceal his hatred for the Demonic Cultivators.
"Good, well said! Zhan Chen, you must be tired. Go back and rest early. " At this moment, Gou Yang 'E's attitude towards him became more and more amiable. This was because he had already regarded the discovery of Zhan Chen as his greatest achievement on this trip. He hoped that this would make up for his mistakes.
Zhan Chen stood up and left the tent. He returned to his own tent with a blank expression. Only then did he take out the letter that Lin Qing had left for him. He opened it and read it.
Senior Brother Zhan, when you read this letter, I will already be gone, right? What I want to tell you is, don't blame anyone for my death. I did it willingly.
Let me tell you a secret. I am an orphan. I don't know who my parents are. One time, when I was about to die of hunger, Elder Zheng saved me. He adopted me and made me his son.
From then on, I joined the Golden Elephant Sect. The Golden Elephant Sect is my home. Everything I have was given to me by the Golden Elephant Sect. Since young, I have been determined to give everything I have for it.
And the thing that I am most unwilling to accept is that I lost to you in the Elite Disciple Selection Competition. Your cultivation was one level lower than mine. That year, I was in my forties. Later on, I found out that you were not even twenty. From then on, you became my goal.
However, I soon realized that the gap between us was getting bigger and bigger. Once, my godfather told me, "Zhan Chen's future achievements will not only be a Martial Honor. If you don't put in a hundred times more effort than others, you won't even be able to reach the Martial Honor realm."
That day, I was disheartened. I felt that I was useless.
This time, I followed my godfather to guard the Tang Town. Two days ago, I saw that my godfather was at his wits' end. Therefore, I asked him the reason out of curiosity. At first, my godfather was unwilling to reveal this secret. However, after I asked him again and again, he finally told me.
At that time, when I heard that you were willing to do so much for the Golden Elephant Sect, I was completely shocked by your resolution. Do you know? The only thing I didn't want to lose to you was my love for the Golden Elephant Sect!
Therefore, I boldly suggested to my godfather that I dedicate my life to the sect. At first, my godfather was unwilling. He even locked me up.
However, at the last moment, he still let me out. Because I knew that he had no more tricks up his sleeve.
At that time, I was incomparably excited. I felt that my life finally had value!
Zhan Chen, I entrusted my life to you. You must work hard for the Golden Elephant Sect. Otherwise, I won't let you off even in the underworld!
Finally, I wish you success in advance!
The letter ended here. Zhan Chen's eyes were already blurred with tears. His chest surged for a long time. After a long time, he whispered to the letter, "Lin Qing, don't worry. I, Zhan Chen, swear to the heavens that I will completely eradicate the Devil Sect!"
