I Think You're the One Looking for Death

"Beast, you're asking for death!"

Weaving through the crowd, rushing as fast as he could, Chen Lin finally arrived at the most crucial moment. He instantly flashed out and kicked the attendant holding the short stick over a dozen meters away.

After the attendant landed, blood gushed from his mouth like it was free. He clearly wouldn't survive.

"Brother!" Seeing her brother suddenly appear, Chen Lan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and joy.

"A'Lin!" Chen Hongbo also called out, still a little shaken.

"Oh?" Duan Xingze's expression turned ashen when he saw Chen Lin appear and glanced at the dying attendant. "Chen Lin, you dare to kill my Duan family's attendant? I think you're the one asking for death!"

"I think you're the one asking for death!" Chen Lin roared, his eyes filled with ferocity, gritting his teeth.

The family in this world treated him very well. Although he couldn't fully accept this kinship yet, he would absolutely not allow his family in this world to suffer even the slightest grievance.

"Attack! Beat them to death! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens! A good-for-nothing who can't even get into the Martial Academy dares to treat this young master like this, he's simply courting death." Duan Xingze's eyes blazed with anger as he ordered the attendants around him.

Hearing Duan Xingze's command, the attendants looked at their leader, who was barely breathing, and hesitated for a moment before replying to Duan Xingze, "Young Master, this guy is too strong, we're probably no match for him!"

"Useless, all of you are useless! I have to do everything myself, what's the point of keeping you around?"

Duan Xingze was furious at his subordinates' answer. He waved his whip, lashing out several times at the closest attendants before flashing towards Chen Lin.

Seeing this, Chen Lin's eyes instantly turned icy. He flashed, quickly appearing beside Duan Xingze, forming his hand into a blade and slashing towards Duan Xingze's neck.

Whoosh!

The hand blade hadn't arrived, but the gust of wind had.

"Not good!" Duan Xingze's expression changed, and he immediately raised his arms to block.

Bang!

With a low impact sound, Duan Xingze was sent flying backward.

Feeling his arms go numb, Duan Xingze exclaimed in horror, "How is this possible?"

"Duan Xingze, are you deliberately targeting my family?" Chen Lin asked coldly, walking towards Duan Xingze with a dark expression.

"Chen Lin, you dare to hit me? Do you know my father is a Captain in the Black Armored Army? One word from him could end your entire family's lives?" Duan Xingze threatened fiercely, backing away.

"Even if your father was the Commander of the Black Armored Army, I'd still deal with you today!"

After speaking, Chen Lin fiercely kicked Duan Xingze. The kick was powerful and swift as lightning, sending Duan Xingze flying again.

Blood spurted from Duan Xingze's mouth like it was free, like a rain of blood.

When Duan Xingze landed again, Chen Lin grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up.

"Your strength... your strength has broken through!" Duan Xingze said intermittently, protecting his hair.

"Hurry up and let our Young Master down! The Black Armored Army will be here soon. If you don't want to die, surrender immediately!" The attendant who had been standing by without intervening threatened Chen Lin, his voice trembling.

Chen Lin glanced at the attendant whose legs were shaking, sneered at Duan Xingze, and threw him to the ground like trash.

He had just joined the War God Temple and wasn't yet a Demon Slayer Envoy or a Demon Purifier. His status was too low. Killing a noble son like Duan Xingze in the street would cause significant trouble.

In his heart, Duan Xingze was doomed to die sooner or later. It was only a matter of days. He might as well endure it for a few days. Once he officially became a Demon Slayer Envoy and his status significantly improved, he would have plenty of opportunities to deal with this guy.

Ignoring the continuously spitting blood of Duan Xingze, Chen Lin quickly walked to his father, Chen Hongbo, and his younger sister, Chen Lan, and asked with concern, "Father, little sister, are you alright?"

"We're fine, we're fine!" Chen Hongbo looked at the barely breathing attendant and Duan Xingze, whose face was covered in blood, and said worriedly in a low voice, "A'Lin! You were too heavy-handed. Beating someone like this will bring you a lot of trouble! You might even end up in jail, what are we going to do!"

"Brother, why don't you run away quickly!" Chen Lan also said anxiously.

"Make way, make way!" A squad of the Black Armored Army parted the crowd of onlookers and strode in.

"Oh no! Brother, the Black Armored Army is here, you should run!" Chen Lan said anxiously.

"The Black Armored Army is here, A'Lin, you need to run! We beat them this badly, you definitely won't escape jail if you don't! I'll take responsibility here, you absolutely cannot go to jail!" Chen Hongbo also said anxiously, urging Chen Lin.

"Father, I'm already a member of the War God Temple. Only the War God Temple's enforcement team has the right to arrest me now. The Black Armored Army no longer has that authority!" Chen Lin said softly.

This one explanation immediately eased the anxiety of the two.

Chen Lan asked with even more surprise, "Brother, did you really pass the War God Temple's entrance test?"

"Of course, who do you think your brother is?" Chen Lin replied jokingly with confidence.

"A'Lin! Since you've joined the War God Temple, does that mean we're not afraid of the Black Armored Army anymore?" Chen Hongbo asked with pleasant surprise.

In the Eighty-One Cities of the Five Nations, any case involving Martial Artists that concerned the War God Temple or the Martial Arts Academy was handled entirely by the local War God Temple or Martial Arts Academy. The eighty-one cities basically had no right to participate in the handling of such cases.

Facing his father's question, Chen Lin explained with a serious expression, "It's still a bit troublesome right now. I've just joined the War God Temple and haven't completed the registration process yet. I haven't received the imperial decree bronze plaque representing the War God Temple, so I can't prove my identity to the Black Armored Army. If I cause a scene with them now, it will affect my subsequent Demon Slayer Envoy assessment."

Chen Lin paused for a moment, and before Chen Hongbo could ask, he continued, "If I have to go with them later, Father, take my Martial Arts School identity token and go to Lieyang Martial Arts School to find the Headmaster, Shen Honglang, and explain the situation to him. He'll know what to do. If you can't find the Headmaster, you can go to Chen Yu from our family. Tell him, and he'll know what to do."

Chen Lin then handed the wooden token from his waist to Chen Hongbo.

Although Chen Hongbo still looked worried, he nodded very seriously.

As soon as Chen Lin finished giving instructions, the leader of the Black Armored Army exchanged a look with Duan Xingze and immediately asked Chen Lin and the others sternly, "Who is Chen Lin?"

"I am!" Seeing the leader of the Black Armored Army directly ask for his name without even inquiring about the situation, Chen Lin's heart sank.

"You committed assault in public and injured someone so severely. Come with us to the Government Office!" the leader of the Black Armored Army declared righteously.

"Alright! I can go with you, but let me remind you, I joined the War God Temple today. Your current authority is not sufficient to judge me. I advise you to file a report to your superiors and investigate the whole matter before saying anything else!" Chen Lin warned the leader of the Black Armored Army with a chilling expression.

The Black Armored Army soldier at the front was stunned, unsure of how to proceed.

After all, the War God Temple held immense status and reputation in Nanqing City, and they certainly didn't dare offend anyone associated with it.

"Do you have any identification?" the Black Armored Army soldier cautiously inquired.

"I just passed the War God Temple's entrance test today. I won't be able to get my identification for another two days," Chen Lin replied, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Duan Xingze glared fiercely at Chen Lin's retreating figure, his eyes filled with shock and suspicion, but even more so with hatred.

It was bad enough that Chen Lin had suppressed him for three years at the martial arts school. He had managed to get his revenge during the martial arts examination, but he hadn't even enjoyed his victory for a few days before discovering that Chen Lin's strength had undergone a drastic change. To make matters worse, Chen Lin now claimed to have joined the War God Temple.

It was utterly ridiculous. Did he really think the War God Temple was that easy to join? Just by speaking about it?

He refused to believe Chen Lin possessed such strength.
