The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3577 Shameless Sneak Attack
Zhang Chenghu remained calm and fearless in the face of threats.

"Your Azure Python Sect is indeed stronger than my Heavenly Crane Sect, but it's not strong enough to ignore my Heavenly Crane Sect. Do you think your Azure Python Sect is a holy land, acting so domineeringly?"

“Your Cangmang Sect is so unreasonable. Even if you want to start a war, my Tianhe Sect, though inferior to you, has no choice but to fight with all its might.”

"We, the disciples of the Heavenly Crane Sect, can die in battle, but we cannot be humiliated!"

The white-haired old man chuckled, not taking Zhang Chenghu's words to heart.

Anyone can talk, but when the shadow of death truly descends, how many people can still be as tough as they were before?
Of course, he was also well aware that it was impossible for the Azure Python Sect and the Heavenly Crane Sect to go to war over a mineral resource. Zhang Chenghu acted so tough because he knew this.

The white-haired old man sneered, "It seems we can't reach an agreement."

Zhang Chenghu said in a firm tone, "You are so domineering, there is no room for negotiation."

The white-haired old man laughed heartily, revealing his true intentions: "Alright, it just so happens that the Alliance Conference is being held. The Alliance Conference also includes resolving conflicts between the major sects, right? Since we have conflicts and can't reach an agreement, let's follow the rules and have a competition!"

Zhao Yilong and Zhang Chenghu exchanged a glance, both with serious expressions.

They realized that this was probably the other party's true intention: to decide the ownership of the mine through a contest.

Zhang Chenghu sneered, "How do we compete?"

Ultimately, the Azure Python Sect is much stronger than the Heavenly Crane Sect. If a major conflict were to occur, the Heavenly Crane Sect would definitely suffer the most. Therefore, resolving this problem through the Alliance Conference is not a bad idea.

Zhang Chenghu decided to listen to the other party's proposal first before making any plans.

The white-haired old man laughed and said, "It's very simple. We will each send out our sect's elite disciples at the Quasi-Saint level to fight three matches. The winner can fight continuously. The side that loses the last three matches will be considered to have finished."

"Don't say we're bullying people. Just do it my way, 70/30. Whoever wins gets 70%. We can mine together, or we can take turns at the agreed time."

Zhang Chenghu sneered, "So you mean regardless of whether we fight or not, you have to take at least 30%?"

The white-haired old man laughed loudly, "If you're confident, let's bet on the outcome directly. Whoever wins owns the mine, and the loser can leave."

Zhang Chenghu turned to look at Zhao Yilong, who frowned and remained silent.

Zhang Chenghu hesitated for a moment before replying, "This matter came as a sudden surprise; we need to discuss it further before getting back to you."

The white-haired old man waved his hand magnanimously: "Alright, you can discuss it as you please, and give us your answer tomorrow. However, if you are unwilling to decide the ownership of the mine through such a peaceful competition, we will take it over directly. Don't say that we are bullying you and didn't give you a chance."

Zhang Chenghu replied in a cold, hard voice, "Please leave."

The white-haired old man laughed arrogantly, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Huo Ling Shuang and Lin Chen were in the path of the white-haired old man and the others. Huo Ling Shuang led Lin Chen to the side and made way for them.

The white-haired old man's gaze swept over Huo Ling Shuang and landed on Lin Chen's face. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of malicious coldness flashed in them.

As the white-haired old man narrowed his eyes, a sharp, needle-like, and extremely domineering spiritual force instantly attacked Lin Chen's head.

Huo Ling Shuang's face was icy cold, and a fiery red light suddenly appeared on her body. At the same time, a roar sounded from behind, and an extremely sharp sword aura flew up, shooting straight towards the white-haired old man.

"Wang An!"

Huo Ling Shuang and Zhang Cheng Hu reacted quickly, but they were no match for the white-haired old man's sudden sneak attack. Just as Lin Chen's head was about to be struck and shatter like a watermelon, golden light suddenly rose from Lin Chen's body, instantly forming a golden barrier that enveloped him completely.

An invisible force struck the barrier, instantly dispersing into endless streams of wind that scattered in all directions.

Almost simultaneously, flames erupted, as intense as the sun, and rushed towards Wang An.

The sword light, like a long river, also fell.

With a casual wave of his hand, Wang An dispersed the blazing flames into scattered sparks by the fierce wind. At the same time, a man behind Wang An extended his palm, and a water-blue vortex appeared in his palm, blocking the sharp sword energy.

The massive impact caused the entire platform to tremble violently.

Fortunately, each platform was connected to the sect's grand formation, and the surging power was instantly transmitted and dispersed, eventually being neutralized by the sect's grand formation.

Zhao Yilong moved swiftly, appearing directly in front of Lin Chen and Huo Ling Shuang, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"Wang An! You have attacked my Tianhe Sect members at will. Do you want to start a war between sects?"

Wang An looked at the golden barrier around Lin Chen with a slightly surprised expression.

He actually failed!

As a member of a different race, Lin Chen's identity as Huo Ling Shuang's companion is self-evident; he is clearly Huo Ling Shuang's slave or subordinate.

He certainly wouldn't dare kill Huo Ling Shuang, a prodigy of the Heavenly Crane Sect. If he did, those two sects would truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle. But killing a slave as a warning to others is just right.

The Heavenly Crane Sect is ultimately no match for the Azure Python Sect. Could they really start a sect war with the Azure Python Sect over the death of a slave?
Wang An originally intended to kill someone to intimidate the Tianhe Sect, but he didn't expect to fail.

Is this kid's reaction that fast?
He reacted in an instant, at such close range?

Faced with Zhao Yilong and Zhang Chenghu's angry rebukes, Wang An remained calm and smiled, "I think this young junior is quite capable, a true dragon among men. I couldn't resist testing his strength. Why are you all so agitated?"

After a pause, Wang An asked in surprise, "Why do you all look at me like that? Do you think I want to kill him? You're overthinking it. How could that be?"

Zhao Chenglong sneered, "As a senior Saint Realm expert, how could you launch a sneak attack on a junior Quasi-Saint? Have you completely lost all sense of shame?"

Wang An chuckled: "I already said, I was just excited to see the hunt and was only testing it out. Don't overthink it."

Wang An smiled kindly at Lin Chen: "Young man, good reaction, keep it up!"

Lin Chen was not angry; on the contrary, he was very calm.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will definitely cultivate diligently and not let you down."

From the moment this old guy made his move, Lin Chen had already made a mental note of him.

This attack came so suddenly and unexpectedly. Who would have thought that a saint would launch a close-range sneak attack on a junior in such a situation?
If Lin Chen hadn't already been a saint, he probably wouldn't have even had time to activate the defensive barrier before dying on the spot.

Although we don't know each other, since you've tried to kill me, don't blame me for finding a way to kill you.

Wang An, you must die!
