"You're dead... You're dead... Haha..."

Lin Shicai struggled to sit up from the ground, glaring savagely at Lu Chen as he laughed like a madman.

Anyone struck by the Lin Household's Hundred Poisons Divine Palm would certainly die without the Lin Household's exclusive Detoxification Pill.

"Is that so?"

Lu Chen steadied the roiling blood and qi within him, his icy gaze fixed coldly on Lin Shicai on the ground through the bronze mask.

The black qi on his arm kept spreading upward.

But he did not care in the slightest.

Step by step, he walked over and stopped in front of Lin Shicai.

"This little poison is supposed to take my life?"

Lu Chen raised his right hand.

The black poisonous qi on his arm rapidly faded away.

In the blink of an eye, all the poison that had invaded his arm was absorbed by the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

The Yin-Yang Cauldron could absorb and refine even Pill Poison. What was the poison of the Hundred Poisons Divine Palm in comparison?

"Impossible... How could this be possible..."

Lin Shicai stared at Lu Chen's right hand in disbelief.

That hand had just been black as ink, with poisonous qi gradually spreading upward.

How had the poison in Lu Chen's right arm been neutralized in just an instant?

"Qi Refining, Fifth Level. Nothing special. All right, it's time to send you on your way."

Lu Chen spoke as he prepared to strike.

"You dare kill me? My elder brother is Lin Xiaotian, head of the Lin Household, at Qi Refining, Ninth Level! My granduncle is even a Foundation Establishment Realm expert! If you dare touch me, they'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Lin Shicai roared.

"Oh my, I'm so scared! Haha...!"

Lu Chen laughed dismissively.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Lin Shicai was both shocked and furious.

"Who am I?"

Lu Chen glanced around. There was not a ghostly shadow in sight.

He reached up and removed the bronze mask from his face.

"You..."

Lin Shicai stared at Lu Chen in shock.

He had never imagined that Lu Chen would remove the bronze mask and reveal his true face.

Nor had he ever imagined that the person who had severely injured him with a single punch was actually a young man.

"Me? I'm just a lowly menial disciple of the Joyful Union Sect."

Lu Chen smiled at Lin Shicai.

The instant he removed his mask, Lin Shicai had to die.

"What..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shicai was actually overjoyed.

"Haha... Little brother, this is truly floodwaters washing into the Dragon King's temple—family failing to recognize family! My cousin is a manager in the Joyful Union Sect's alchemy room. We're family! This was all a misunderstanding. Let's wipe the slate clean between us!"

Lin Shicai laughed loudly.

Yet a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

So he was only a lowly menial from the Joyful Union Sect. Once I get his name, I'll write a letter to my cousin and have him kill this bastard.

"So your cousin is a manager in the Joyful Union Sect's alchemy room? Which manager is he? Could he help me get a more comfortable position?"

Lu Chen asked in delighted surprise.

"My cousin is Pang Yong, the manager of the Yellow Alchemy District in the Joyful Union Sect!"

Afraid that Lu Chen would not believe him, Lin Shicai directly revealed his cousin's position and name.

"So it's Manager Pang. Then it really is floodwaters washing into the Dragon King's temple!"

Lu Chen looked at Lin Shicai and smiled.

So this fellow was actually Pang Yong's cousin.

Now this was getting interesting.

"So little brother knows my cousin? Then this will be easy. First, send me back to the Lin Household. Then I'll write a letter for you to take to my cousin, and I'll have him arrange a good job for you!"

Lin Shicai said with a smile, though he hated Lu Chen to the bone. I'll send you a death warrant.

"Good, good, good. I'll send you there right away..."

Lu Chen looked at Lin Shicai.

Lin Shicai was secretly pleased.

How could I possibly fail to kill you?

"To reincarnate!"

Lu Chen's gaze turned cold as he looked at Lin Shicai.

"What..."

Lin Shicai froze.

Lu Chen directly stomped down hard on Lin Shicai's right leg.

Crack!

The sound of shattering bone rang out.

Lin Shicai let out a shriek as miserable as a pig being slaughtered.

"Are you insane?! Why did you break my leg... Aah..."

Lin Shicai stared at Lu Chen in utter disbelief.

Lu Chen put the bronze mask back on. "You guessed right. I do know Manager Pang, but your dear cousin wants to kill me!"

"What... No... It's a misunderstanding. There must be some misunderstanding..."

Pain blackened Lin Shicai's vision, and terror overwhelmed him.

"There's no misunderstanding..."

Crack!

Lu Chen stomped and broke Lin Shicai's left leg as well.

"I'll kill you..."

Lin Shicai howled furiously at Lu Chen.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen snapped Lin Shicai's left hand.

Lin Shicai collapsed onto the ground.

He was fairly tough, managing to endure without passing out from the pain.

"Don't kill me..."

Lin Shicai surrendered completely.

"You're my father, you're my grandfather, don't kill me... I don't want to die!"

Lin Shicai broke down and begged for mercy.

"Don't think your death is unjust either. If I were an ordinary cultivator, I'd be the one dying today. And since your cousin, Manager Pang, wants to kill me, I'll collect some interest first. When the Sect Grand Tournament comes, I'll stomp your cousin into the ground too."

As Lu Chen spoke, he slowly raised his right leg.

"No, no, no, no..."

Lin Shicai watched Lu Chen raise his leg in terror.

He watched helplessly as Lu Chen's right foot came crashing down toward his face.

At the instant Lu Chen stomped him to death, his terror reached its peak.

After stomping Lin Shicai to death, Lu Chen swiftly searched his corpse.

"The younger brother of the Lin Household head is actually this poor?"

Lu Chen opened Lin Shicai's storage pouch and found only twelve Low-Grade Spirit Stones, a Hundred Poison Divine Palm cultivation manual, and some Detoxification Pills.

Lu Chen then gathered the storage pouches of Lin Shicai's subordinates as well.

There was nothing valuable in those storage pouches either.

However, the storage pouch of that bearded brute contained a saber technique called Mad Demon Thirteen Sabers.

"I didn't expect it to be a low-grade Yellow-rank cultivation method."

Lu Chen was both surprised and delighted.

This trip down the mountain had brought him a decent haul.

Haha...

At that moment, voices drifted over from the distance.

He hurriedly left.

Before long, news of Lin Shicai being killed spread throughout Hehuan Town.

"Who was it... Who was it that dared to kill my brother, Lin Xiaotian?!"

An enraged roar erupted from the Lin Household's ancestral residence!

Inside the main hall of the ancestral residence, every member of the Lin Household trembled like cicadas in winter.

"Investigate! No matter who it is, I will tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Lin Xiaotian roared at everyone.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen had already returned to the mountain.

To his surprise, he found someone lurking outside Waste-Pill Valley, where the Waste Pill Repository was located, peering furtively inside.

That person was actually Manager Pang.

Why was this fellow here?

Lu Chen became nervous to the extreme.

Could Manager Pang have discovered that he had abandoned his post without permission?

"Damn it, someone had me come early in the morning to collect Lu Chen's corpse. Could that kid Lu Chen really be dead?"

Manager Pang muttered.
