"Brother Luo Chen, do you still need to heal your wounds?"
"puff"
After Luo Chen chuckled, he pressed his body against Zhao Ling'er's, and the lights in the room dimmed.
The next morning, Luo Chen had already packed his things with Zhao Ling'er and prepared to leave Immortal Spirit Island. Jiang Shi, standing to the side, watched Luo Chen and Zhao Ling'er leave with tears in her eyes.
When Luo Chen flew out of Immortal Spirit Island with Zhao Ling'er, they landed directly in a forest outside Yuhang Town.
Just as Luo Chen and Ling'er were on their way, a sword aura flew past Luo Chen at high speed, and a strong smell of alcohol emanated from the figure.
Upon seeing this, the figure, who had just rushed out, turned back and, after arriving in front of Luo Chen, said to him with a drunken expression:
"Young man, I see you have extraordinary bone structure and a good foundation. How about you become my apprentice?"
After the Sword Immortal finished speaking, his eyes were full of smugness as he looked at Luo Chen's body.
Zhao Ling'er, who was following closely beside Luo Chen, immediately hid behind Luo Chen after seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.
When Luo Chen heard what the Sword Immortal said, he barely even glanced at the Sword Immortal and directly pulled Zhao Ling'er to the side.
The Sword Immortal, however, immediately felt embarrassed. After giving an awkward laugh, he hurriedly followed behind Luo Chen, repeatedly saying to him:
"I love your unique personality. Don't you really want to consider taking me on as your master? I'm very dedicated! With such a good foundation, it would be a waste if no one taught you martial arts and magic."
Upon hearing the endless chatter behind him, Luo Chen slowly came to a stop, and a surge of magical power rapidly began to gather in his palm.
The Drunken Sword Immortal, who had been rambling on and on with a lot of nonsense, saw Luo Chen finally stop and assumed that Luo Chen had finally been persuaded. He hurriedly ran towards Luo Chen, saying repeatedly:
"You finally understand my good intentions! Haha, I'll definitely teach you properly!"
However, just as the Sword Immortal was speaking, Luo Chen suddenly turned around, and a powerful surge of magic energy flew rapidly from Luo Chen's palm towards the Sword Immortal's body.
Upon suddenly sensing this change, a look of shock appeared in the Sword Immortal's eyes. He quickly condensed a stream of magic power in his palm and retreated rapidly backward.
Seeing the energy so close at hand, the Sword Immortal waved his hand, and a long sword appeared directly in his palm. Gripping the long sword tightly, the Sword Immortal stomped his feet on the ground and leaped rapidly into the air.
"Swordsmanship!"
Golden light instantly emanated from the longsword, and several sword energies simultaneously bombarded the energy source, producing a series of explosive sounds.
After the Sword Immortal dispersed the energy of that attack, he landed directly on the ground, looking ahead with shock in his eyes.
However, when the Sword Immortal looked around, there was no sign of Luo Chen or Zhao Ling'er. Realizing they were gone, the Sword Immortal sheathed his sword and exclaimed in surprise:
"I never expected this person's magical power to be so high. With just a casual wave of his hand, I was forced to use my sword control technique to barely block it. But why didn't I sense any fluctuations of spiritual energy from his body before?"
Thinking of this, a look of doubt appeared in the eyes of the Sword Immortal. Fortunately, the other party had no ill intentions. After knocking him back with a palm strike, the other party left!
"I must find out your identity. How come I've never heard of you before, given your superb martial arts skills?"
After saying this, a sword light suddenly shone from beneath the Sword Immortal's feet, and his figure shot rapidly into the sky.
Chapter Five: Sir, do you take on apprentices?
At this time, after Luo Chen brought Zhao Ling'er to Yuhang Town, the sky gradually began to darken. If Luo Chen were to travel alone now, it would naturally not be a problem.
However, since he was still with Zhao Ling'er, after arriving at one of the inns, Luo Chen immediately booked a room and prepared to enter.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao quickly walked to Luo Chen's side and earnestly said to Luo Chen:
"Sir, I sense an air of otherworldly refinement about you. You must be an important person. Could you take me with you on your travels? I won't accept any wages, and I'll serve you anytime!"
Upon hearing the words behind him, Luo Chen turned around, chuckled, and said to Li Xiaoyao:
"If you really have nothing to do, go for a run or two. If you bother me again, I'll cut your tongue out!"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he went straight into his room and slammed the door shut.
When Li Xiaoyao sensed the intense pressure emanating from Luo Chen's body, cold sweat broke out on his back. Seeing Luo Chen enter his room, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with trepidation:
"That scared me to death! That customer was terrifying! I'd better avoid him!"
At this point, Li Xiaoyao hurriedly left Luo Chen's room and went downstairs.
Just then, several disciples of the Moon Worship Cult appeared in the inn, their eyes radiating a chilling aura, and said in a sinister tone:
"I don't know what they're up to! They messed up the task the leader assigned them, and there's been no response for so long!"
Seeing that guests had arrived, Li Xiaoyao quickly walked up to them and, with a fawning expression, said to the Moon Worship Cult members:
"Are you gentlemen here for a meal or to stay at a hotel?"
Upon seeing someone, the group fell silent. One of them stepped forward, reached for his waist, pulled out a silver ingot, and tossed it over.
When Li Xiaoyao saw how generous this guest was, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said earnestly to everyone:
"Sir, please have a seat, please have a seat!"
"Go out and buy me a few bottles of good wine, and the rest is your tip!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly responded and then rushed out of the inn.
For some reason, although it was already dark, several restaurants that were usually open had closed, which made Li Xiaoyao anxious.
At that moment, as Li Xiaoyao was searching around, a bright sword light flashed past overhead.
When Li Xiaoyao saw this scene, a look of excitement appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly flew out towards the direction of the sword light.
The streak of light disappeared into the sky after passing through several streets. Li Xiaoyao, who had been in hot pursuit, couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face when he saw this. He sighed helplessly and prepared to walk back.
"Hey, young man, would you like to become my apprentice?"
Upon hearing the words behind him, Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed and excitedly turned around.
However, after clearly seeing the person's attire, an impatient expression immediately appeared on his face, and he said disdainfully to the Drunken Sword Immortal:
Why should I, a beggar, become your apprentice? Do you expect me to learn how to beg for food with you?
After saying this, Li Xiaoyao prepared to leave, but suddenly a powerful force came from his shoulder, and the intense pain made him cry out.
"Who are you?!"
As the Drunken Sword Immortal removed his hand from Li Xiaoyao's shoulder, his body transformed into a beam of light and swiftly flew in front of Li Xiaoyao. With a sword cry, the longsword shot out rapidly from the Drunken Sword Immortal's back.
Suddenly, the Sword Immortal leaped up and gripped the longsword tightly in his hand. Streaks of sword light continuously emanated from the sword, and sharp sword energy shot out with each swing.
Li Xiaoyao's initially disdainful expression gradually turned to the dazzling swordplay before him.
"Swordsmanship!"
As the Sword Immortal shouted these words, he suddenly plunged the longsword in his hand into the ground.
"bang bang bang"
Several sword lights shot out rapidly to the side, and with a flick of his finger, the sword fell directly into the scabbard on his back.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoyao no longer dared to show the slightest disdain. He respectfully approached the Drunken Sword Immortal and immediately addressed him as "Master."
Hearing those repeated calls of "Master," the Drunken Sword Immortal burst into laughter, saying to Li Xiaoyao:
"Come on, your master's out of wine. Go get me some wine and take me out for a meal. How about I teach you that move I just used?"
"Ah? Okay, Master, this way please!"
As he spoke, Li Xiaoyao wished he could simply carry the Drunken Sword Immortal on his back and return to his inn in one go.
Meanwhile, inside the inn, the disciples of the Moon Worship Cult, seeing that Li Xiaoyao hadn't returned for a long time, couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance and whispered:
"Do you think there might be something wrong with this inn? Why hasn't that waiter come back after being gone for so long?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it made sense, and they hurriedly took out all their weapons, looking around warily.
"You two go up and take a look!"
After the man finished speaking, two disciples of the Moon Worship Cult quickly walked upstairs. Luo Chen, who was resting in his room, heard a commotion outside and immediately struck out with his palm through the door.
Chapter Seven: No Suspense
Just as the palm struck the man's body, his body seemed to be subjected to a powerful impact, and he was sent flying rapidly down the platform.
Upon seeing this scene on the stage, the crowd below began to look at each other, searching for the source of the attack.
When Lin Tiannan, who had been sitting in the middle, saw this, he angrily stood up from his seat and shouted loudly down:
"Who on earth is causing this destruction?!"
The moment Lin Tiannan uttered those words, a figure swiftly flew down from below and landed on the platform, looking at Lin Tiannan with a smile.
At this moment, while Luo Chen was looking at Lin Tiannan, Lin Tiannan was also constantly looking at Luo Chen's body.
Lin Tiannan couldn't sense any fluctuation of internal energy from Luo Chen's body, yet Luo Chen had just shown off his skills, which meant that the opponent's strength far surpassed his own.
Thinking of this, Lin Tiannan's angry expression gradually subsided. After glancing at Zhao Ling'er beside Luo Chen, he said to Luo Chen:
"Sir, are you married?"
"Have!"
As soon as Luo Chen uttered these words, the entire room fell silent; it was eerily quiet.
This is a complete slap in the face! The Lin Family Fortress is a prominent and influential family in this area, with considerable influence in the martial arts world! Isn't this blatantly forcing Lin Yueru to become a concubine?
At this moment, Lin Tiannan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. After shouting angrily, he quickly condensed a palm force in his palm and swiftly struck towards Luo Chen.
After feeling the power in Lin Tiannan's palm, Luo Chen chuckled and casually met the palm strike as it flew towards him.
"bang bang"
Two bursts of energy instantly erupted from their palms, and Lin Tiannan's body quickly retreated backward, painfully covering his chest with his palm.
The blood in his body surged after receiving that palm strike, and it took a while for Lin Tiannan's face to gradually recover.
At this moment, Lin Tiannan slowly sat down in his seat, let out a cold laugh, and said to Luo Chen:
"Your martial arts are truly superb! Since you're here to compete as well, please begin, but you absolutely must not injure my daughter!"
Just as Lin Yueru was about to strike Luo Chen, Luo Chen immediately extended his palm to stop her, turning around and shouting downwards:
"I'm a fair person! To give all participants a chance, come at me all at once! It'll save us time!"
"mad!"
The word "outrageous" popped into everyone's mind! The entire crowd of contestants below seemed to have forgotten the scene of Luo Chen knocking Lin Tiannan back with a single palm strike, and they all eagerly moved upwards.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen chuckled softly and continued speaking downwards:
"What? You're not even willing to take this opportunity?"
"Whoa Whoah"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, everyone rushed up from below the platform, their eyes filled with anger. Upon reaching Luo Chen, a fat man covered in bulging muscles shouted:
"Kid, don't be so arrogant! If we win, who should we credit for the victory?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and burst into loud, maniacal laughter. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he spoke to the man in an icy voice:
"You don't stand a chance!"
As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his palm, and the crowd rushing towards him were sent flying by this force.
"what"
Screams of agony echoed from the crowd as people crashed heavily to the ground.
When they saw the stage, which had just been packed with people, now so deserted, both Lin Yueru and Lin Tiannan were shocked.
Staring in disbelief at the scene before him, he exclaimed in surprise:
"This... this strong?!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen immediately turned around and said to Lin Tiannan:
"If there are no other participants, then let's announce the results!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tiannan nodded blankly, exclaiming in shock:
"This young hero has emerged victorious in today's competition! I will be holding their wedding at Lin Family Fortress soon!"
When Lin Yueru heard her father's words, her eyes were filled with shyness, and she hurriedly ran off the stage. Zhao Ling'er, who was standing to the side, did not show any dissatisfaction when she saw this, and nestled in Luo Chen's arms.
When Luo Chen entered the Lin Family Manor, he quietly waited in his room. Just before dinner, Luo Chen came out of his room.
At this moment, Lin Tiannan's figure met Luo Chen's directly. After seeing Luo Chen, Lin Tiannan chuckled and asked Luo Chen:
"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Luo Chen learned his martial arts, and who his master was?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen chuckled softly and said to Lin Tiannan:
