Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 318 Seven years of honing a sword, today we'll test its edge.

"Sir, save me!"

Huo Ruohong was scared!

This was the first time since he began practicing martial arts that he felt invincible and fearful when facing a martial artist of the same age.

Even when the three of them joined forces, they were no match for Lin Chen.

His pride was shattered at that moment.

At this moment, he finally understood the despair and disbelief that those geniuses his age had felt in previous battles.

Why!
Why is the other party so strong?

Unable to accept it, Huo Ruohong was now more worried about his own safety, as he could sense Lin Chen's murderous intent.

He doesn't want to die!

His pride was completely shattered; he had lost all arrogance and only wanted to survive, no longer caring what others thought of him.

The warriors from the three kingdoms fighting at that moment were stunned when Huo Ruohong uttered those words. The warriors from Han and Zheng kingdoms were dumbfounded. They never expected that even the three of Huo Ruohong working together would be no match for Lin Chen alone. Two of them died and one fled.

Huo Ruohong, who had escaped, didn't even care about saving face and directly begged the adults for help.

Lin Chen watched Huo Ruohong flee but did not chase after him. It wasn't that he couldn't catch up with Huo Ruohong, but rather that there was no need to. Catching up with and killing Huo Ruohong would take a lot of time.

Huo Ruohong is no match for me now, and he will be even less so in the future.

In contrast, helping his fellow disciples defeat their opponents is the most important thing right now.

The Dragon Shadow Bow reappeared in Lin Chen's hand. Upon seeing the Dragon Shadow Bow in Lin Chen's hand, the expressions of the Han and Zheng warriors changed drastically. In their eyes, what Lin Chen held was not a bow and arrow, but a series of death warrants.

"withdraw!"

The disciples of Zheng Guo Martial Arts Academy were the first to speak up: Huo Ruohong has already run away; if they stay here, they're just waiting to die.

However, just as the man uttered his cry, a golden arrow shot out instantly, and the next moment the man fell into the water.

Lin Chen drew his bow, his body covered in blood, and shot arrow after arrow, reaping the lives of disciples from both martial arts academies.

The disciples of the martial arts academies of both countries no longer had any desire to fight. At this moment, they only wanted to escape from this area. However, how could the martial artists of the Great Liang let them escape so easily? They all desperately tried to stop their opponents.

The situation has reversed; all they need to do is stall their opponents and give Lin Chen time to shoot his arrow.

Hundreds of feet away from the ship, Lu Qiguang and the others who were fighting heard Huo Ruohong's cry for help. When they turned their heads and saw the situation on the ship, they were all furious. Their nation's most talented disciples were being harvested by Lin Chen like weeds.

"Good boy!"

Hou Zhantian was also covered in injuries, but when he saw Lin Chen holding a bow and arrow, which would kill someone with every shot, a smile appeared on his face.

"Gentlemen, show no mercy! Lin Chen must not be allowed to live!"

Lu Qiguang's expression was extremely cold. This would be their only chance to kill Lin Chen. Once Lin Chen returned to Daliang, there would be no more opportunities.

Given the strength Lin Chen has displayed, even he dares not imagine how far Lin Chen will grow if given enough time.

If this child is not killed, he will surely become a great scourge to the Han Kingdom.

"it is good."

The powerful figure from Zheng also agreed. He also felt threatened by Lin Chen, and compared to Han, once Lin Chen grew up, he would definitely be a disaster for Zheng.

The enmity between the states of Zheng and Liang ran too deep. When Liang became powerful, the first state it wanted to destroy was Zheng.

"Fellow disciples, stop them!"

Hou Zhantian also sensed the changes in Lu Qiguang and the others, knowing that they were going to fight desperately. They hadn't gone all out earlier, but had only delayed them. Their goal was to eliminate the rising stars of Daliang.

"I'm going to kill that brat!"

A second-rank martial artist from Han Kingdom withdrew from the battlefield. Upon seeing this, Chen Shan suddenly shot out his spear, the terrifying spear force enveloping the opponent. However, his other opponent flashed and blocked him, his halberd smashing towards him recklessly.

boom!
The terrifying energy was released, and a crack appeared in the halberd in the opponent's hand, but Chen Shan's face showed no joy. In that instant, the second-grade martial artist from Han Kingdom had already left the battlefield and headed straight for Lin Chen.

"Boy, you've killed so many of my Han Kingdom's disciples, today you'll pay for this in blood!"

The second-rank martial artist from the Korean Kingdom, who had left the battlefield, instantly appeared before Lin Chen. He slammed down with his large palm, and a terrifying martial will instantly enveloped Lin Chen.

Just as the palm strike of the second-rank martial artist from the Korean Kingdom was about to touch Lin Chen's crown, a sword cry like a dragon's roar suddenly resounded throughout the entire body of water. The sky abruptly cracked open, and a sword light wrapped in azure energy came from afar, directly cleaving the second-rank martial artist from the Korean Kingdom in two. "Using numbers to bully the few, do you think there's no one in my Great Liang?"

A calm voice came from afar. At the forefront of the water, a figure rode a sword. The moment Lin Chen saw the figure clearly, surprise and excitement appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Pei!"

Lin Chen was surprised to see Brother Pei here.

"Qing Ming!"

Hou Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pei Qingming appear.

"Pei Qingming, you've broken through? That's impossible! You were only a fourth-rank cultivator just a few months ago!"

Lu Qiguang stared at Pei Qingming with disbelief in his eyes. Back when Han Kingdom and Liang Kingdom were at odds, Pei Qingming left Han Kingdom. At that time, Pei Qingming was only at the fourth rank. Only a few months have passed. Even if Pei Qingming has broken through, he can only reach the third rank at most.

But even he felt danger from that sword strike just now.

Pei Qingming has already entered the second rank, and is at the peak of the second rank.

He couldn't accept this reality.

"Seven years of honing a sword, today we test its edge."

Despite Lu Qiguang's shock, Pei Qingming remained calm. He had been stuck at the fourth rank for four years, not because he couldn't break through to the third rank, but because he wanted to take an extremely special path.

He wants to follow the path of pure sword cultivation.

His lack of understanding of swordsmanship has kept him stuck at the fourth rank.

If it weren't for pursuing this ultimate path of sword cultivation, he could have already broken through to the fourth rank and entered the ranks of superior martial artists.

"The number one genius of martial arts in the Great Liang Dynasty for three hundred years, do you really think he can be compared to so-called pseudo-geniuses?"

Pei Qingming spoke calmly, but the confidence he exuded infected all the martial arts academy disciples of Daliang at that moment.

This is the real Senior Pei.

From the moment they embarked on their martial arts journey, they had always heard their elders mention this legendary figure.

For the past few years, Pei Qingming has remained at the fourth rank, which has caused a lot of controversy in other countries. But today, Senior Pei has shown everyone with facts that the title of the number one genius in the martial arts of the Great Liang Dynasty in the past three hundred years is well-deserved.

"Alright, since you're here, we'll give up this time. Let's go!"

Lu Qiguang gave a wink to his companions and the Zheng warriors. With Pei Qingming there, they no longer had a chance to kill Lin Chen.

"Walk?"

Pei Qingming laughed: "You killed a young martial artist from my Great Liang, and now you think you can just give up?"

Lu Qiguang paused, his gaze fixed on Pei Qingming: "Pei Qingming, don't forget that my Han Kingdom Martial Arts Academy has been kind to you in nurturing you. Are you going to be an ungrateful person?"

“I, Pei Qingming, am not an ungrateful person.”

Pei Qingming grinned, but Lin Chen saw a hint of cunning on his face.

"I only kill warriors from the state of Zheng."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four second-rank martial artists from Zheng Kingdom instantly turned ugly. They had clearly witnessed the power of Pei Qingming's sword strike.

Even from such a distance, a single sword strike rendered a second-rank martial artist from the Han Kingdom utterly helpless. Even if the four of them joined forces, they might not be a match for him.

Pei Qingming's true strength is probably comparable to that of a first-grade martial artist.

Lin Chen laughed when he heard what Brother Pei said. Brother Pei didn't want to make a move against the Korean martial artists, but now there were only three of the four second-grade martial artists left in Korea. Dean Hou and the other three were enough, so there was no need for Brother Pei to take action.

"Do it!"

Hou Zhantian roared, "The Three Kingdoms have reached this point, and a great war is inevitable. Therefore, I will not let Lu Qiguang and the other two leave."

Lin Chen's gaze also fell on Huo Ruohong, who was a hundred feet away, and he smiled happily. Huo Ruohong saw the look Lin Chen gave him and his heart trembled. He didn't care about the adults and turned to run away.

Pei Qingming raised his eyes, his aura locking onto the four second-rank martial artists from Zheng. Facing the Zheng martial artists, he said nothing, and his long sword once again drew a sword light.

P.S.: The double monthly pass event is about to end, so please don't save your monthly passes if you still have them. I'm asking for more monthly passes.
