Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 610 Plundering Luck
At the scene, as Lin Chen uttered these words, both Dongfang Canglang and Yan Jun hesitated for a moment.

They weren't sure if Lin Chen was telling the truth or not.

But their hesitation quickly turned into mockery; in their eyes, Lin Chen's words were just a charade.

Given their backgrounds, what many martial artists strive for their entire lives is merely their starting point. But even they must follow certain rules of the martial arts world: the upper limit.

There is a limit to the skill level of a martial artist!

This upper limit means that even with endless resources, it is impossible to quickly elevate a martial artist from the Innate Realm to the Myriad Manifestations Realm or even stronger.

Whether it's the royal family or the Dongfang family, if they could infinitely increase a martial artist's strength by simply piling up resources regardless of cost, then the two of them would have already stepped into the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

Lin Chen's ability to cultivate his physical body to such a level is almost unbeatable in the Myriad Manifestations Realm. This is something that cannot be achieved simply by piling up resources. Even if they don't want to admit it, they cannot deny that Lin Chen's ability to cultivate his physical body to such a level is due not only to his incredible luck but also to his own merits.

To reach the pinnacle of martial arts, one must possess a will far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, if a martial artist pursues the pinnacle in one aspect, they will inevitably have to sacrifice another aspect, and this is true even for those of them with such backgrounds.

If one reaches the limit of physical endurance and then tries to push the limits of the spirit as well, the end result will be nothing but a wasted effort.

Given their status, they couldn't believe that Lin Chen, having cultivated his physical body to such an extreme level, could also cultivate his divine soul to the same degree.

"Further words are useless; I will execute you today."

Yan Jun was convinced that Lin Chen was bluffing and had no intention of delaying him any longer. A golden light shone brightly from between his brows, and his vast divine soul power was instantly drawn out and condensed, transforming into an incomparably refined golden soul sword that exuded a chilling aura.

The moment the soul sword appeared, it tore through the air, carrying a terrifying power capable of piercing through the sea of ​​consciousness and annihilating the soul, as it slashed towards Lin Chen.

The divine soul manifests in immense power.

Jiang Qing had already placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. Although her junior brother had told her not to take action, she had already made up her mind that if there was even the slightest difference in skill level, she would immediately step in to fight for Lin Chen.

This is Yan Jun's ultimate soul-killing move, designed to take advantage of Lin Chen's physical body being locked up and his soul seemingly at its most vulnerable, to deliver a fatal blow.

However, just as the golden soul sword was about to strike Lin Chen, a pagoda slowly appeared above Lin Chen's head. The golden soul sword struck the pagoda hard, producing a deafening clang of metal striking metal!

"clang--!"

The pagoda shook violently, scattering golden light, yet it managed to withstand the fatal blow!
Yan Jun's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief: "The Divine Control Technique?!"

This is a closely guarded secret of the Thousand Machines Sect. Where did Lin Chen learn it from?

Unfortunately, Lin Chen wouldn't give him an answer.

After the Divine Tower blocked the sword, a faint blue light slowly appeared between Lin Chen's brows, and in an instant, it suddenly burst out with a dazzling extreme blue light.

"The Eye of the Azure Waves!"

Two extremely dark blue beams pierced through space at this moment, their speed exceeding the limits of visual perception; everyone only saw a flash of blue light!
"puff!"

The pale blue beam pierced through Yan Jun's hastily erected soul defense with perfect precision, slamming into his brow. Then, a shrill, inhuman scream was heard from Yan Jun.

Crimson blood spurted from Yan Jun's seven orifices in an instant, his body swayed violently like a kite with a broken string, and his face turned ashen white as paper.

"Impossible... How can your soul be so strong?"

Yan Jun let out a terrified and desperate roar. He could not understand or accept how someone who had tempered his physical body to the extreme could simultaneously possess such a powerful divine soul.

Moreover, when he fled earlier, Lin Chen had used the Azure Eye before, but its power was nowhere near as great as it was just now.

Compared to before, Lin Chen's previous divine soul hadn't even unleashed 30% of its power.

Yan Jun's angry roar, filled with resentment, clearly reached the ears of Dongfang Canglang, who was not far away.

The playful expression on his face froze instantly, and a flash of extreme anger and a hint of barely perceptible fear crossed the depths of his pupils.

"waste!"

Dongfang Canglang cursed inwardly. He had gone to great lengths to use the Refining God Tower to imprison Lin Chen's body, yet Yan Jun still ended up in such a miserable state!

He absolutely could not tolerate Yan Jun being killed by Lin Chen, lest the royal family's immense fortune be plundered by Lin Chen.

"A piece of trash is still a piece of trash. Lin Chen, your soul is quite surprising to me."

Dongfang Canglang suppressed his shock and anger, and his arrogant expression returned. His innate power erupted like a dormant volcano, and his terrifying aura instantly rose to its peak, far surpassing that of Yan Jun before.

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire scene, making all the onlookers gasp for breath.

All the onlookers from the four clans looked on in disbelief. Was Dongfang Canglang also going to get involved in the battle?

A royal prince, plus this young master from the East?
If word got out that these two were teaming up to deal with Lin Chen, it would probably cause a huge uproar.

Doesn't this young master from the East consider the extent to which this matter will affect his reputation?
Dongfang Canglang naturally cared about his reputation, but apart from the Flower Clan, would the other three families dare to publicize this matter to the outside world and offend him?

Dongfang Canglang's gaze was fixed on Lin Chen, who was shrouded in the Refining God Tower. He took a step forward, ready to cross space and deliver a fatal blow to Lin Chen!
"Your opponent is me!"

A clear, icy female voice suddenly rang out, carrying an undeniable resolve.

Jiang Qing's figure had already positioned herself between Dongfang Canglang and Lin Chen, and the longsword in her hand erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling cold light! The illusory image of a hundred flowers behind her solidified completely at this moment!
"Unbelievable!"

Seeing Jiang Qing standing in front of him, Dongfang Canglang's eyes showed disdain. He admitted that Lin Chen was already enough for him to take seriously, but this little princess of the Flower Clan was not enough, at least not yet.

The Flower Clan's racial supernatural abilities truly reach their peak after entering the Myriad Manifestations Realm. Before that, the Flower Clan is only slightly stronger than ordinary geniuses of the same realm in super sects.

"With your still incomplete mastery of the flower blooming and withering supernatural power, you don't even care about blocking my way."

Dongfang Canglang pointed his right hand like a knife, looking at the Hundred Flowers blocking his way. A terrifying finger force containing the intent of destruction and end instantly condensed!
This finger strike seemed capable of causing everything to wither and decay, carrying an aura of decay. It was none other than the Annihilation Finger, a martial arts masterpiece created by his father!
When one point is made, all phenomena cease!

Wherever the force of her finger touched, the petals of the hundred flowers visibly withered and fell away rapidly. Jiang Qing's body also trembled violently, she groaned, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Her cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Innate Realm. Even if she used her racial supernatural powers to give her the strength to fight against a sixth-level Innate Realm warrior, she was at most at the early stage of the sixth level of the Innate Realm. Facing an Innate Realm expert like Dongfang Canglang with such a background, the gap was as wide as a chasm.

"Princess!"

Zhang Qian and the others below looked anxious, but they couldn't get involved in a battle of this level. The terrifying aura released by Dongfang Canglang alone was enough to keep them out.

Blood trickled from the corner of Jiang Qing's mouth, but her eyes remained resolute, and the tip of her longsword continued to cleave stubbornly despite the trembling.

This time, however, the sword intent he unleashed transformed into countless sword flowers, instantly engulfing Dongfang Canglang like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

Within the flower array, Dongfang Canglang pointed out with his long fingers time and time again, each time causing countless sword flowers to wither. Jiang Qing's long sword never stopped, constantly replenishing the flower array, but her pretty face grew paler with each passing moment.

In the split second that Jiang Qing desperately tried to stop Dongfang Canglang's attack, Lin Chen naturally sensed the commotion and his eyes flashed with undisguised killing intent. Not only towards Yan Jun, but also towards Dongfang Canglang.

Lin Chen remained silent, instead focusing all his spiritual power on his brow.

hum!
This time, the Azure Eye's dark blue light was more intense than ever before, and even faintly revealed a trace of destructive purple!

The two paths merged into one.

This beam of dark blue light, more condensed and faster than before, carrying an aura of endless destruction, instantly traversed the distance between him and Yan Jun!
This time, there was no earth-shattering explosion.

The beam of light silently entered Yan Jun's battered and broken brow.

Yan Jun's contorted and pained expression froze instantly, the last glimmer of light in his eyes extinguished, leaving only emptiness and death.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

The battle of the soul is the most dangerous; even if one doesn't die, one will be severely injured.

Lin Chen, however, had no intention of showing any mercy.

His feud with the royal family was irreconcilable. If he killed Yan Jun, the royal family would still want to get rid of him as soon as possible. If he didn't kill Yan Jun, the royal family would still want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Yan Jun, the young prince of the Yan Dynasty and a powerful expert at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, fell from the sky.

On the scene, all the warriors from the four clans who witnessed this scene, except for Zhang Qiang and others from the Flower Clan, felt a chill run down their spines, and many of them even showed signs of fear on their faces.

"Fortunately, I realized Lin Chen's domineering nature back then and took the initiative to give up."

Zhang Wuji's face still showed lingering fear. If he and his companions had fought Lin Chen to the bitter end back then, they would probably have ended up like Yan Jun.

Lin Chen kills royal princes without hesitation and shows no mercy to them.

Zhang Wuji and the others were naturally unaware that Lin Chen killed Yan Jun without hesitation because the royal family also harbored murderous intent towards him, but Lin Chen would not kill their three clans.

After all, they had no personal grudges against each other; they were just competing for a spot.

Even if he wasn't afraid of offending these three clans, Lin Chen still had to consider the situation of the Flower Clan.

Almost as soon as Yan Jun's body hit the ground, Lin Chen suddenly felt an invisible, special energy surge into his body.

Before he could properly sense this energy, the Refining God Tower, which was suspended above Lin Chen's head and imprisoning his physical body, suddenly trembled violently, and the light on the tower body flickered rapidly and uncertainly!
This energy entering his body caused Lin Chen's blood and qi to surge once again, frantically challenging the seal that the Refining God Tower placed on his physical body.

Dongfang Canglang, whose mind was connected to the Refining God Tower, instantly turned extremely ugly. To break through the Refining God Tower, one must either reach the Myriad Manifestations Realm or possess energy that surpasses the Refining God Tower's seal.

Royal fortune is one of the few things that can surpass the energy sealed by the Divine Refining Tower.

"Damn Lord Yan, just how much luck did the royal family allocate to this guy?"

Depriving someone of their luck is no simple matter, especially when someone like Lin Chen directly kills their opponent. Although he can also deprive them of their luck, a large portion of it will be lost...

In this situation, the only possibility is that the royal family has infused Yan Jun with a great deal of luck, so that Lin Chen could receive so much fortune so quickly.

The royal family controls the divine seal and is the only one capable of distributing destiny, something even his own father cannot currently do.

"Lin Chen, I'll let you live a little longer. Once I obtain the inheritance from the Mo family's ancestor, I'll come back and take your life."

Dongfang Canglang had already begun to consider retreating. He would not admit that he was afraid of the pressure that Lin Chen would bring to him after breaking the seal, but he was afraid of getting injured in battle with Lin Chen and missing the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Mo family's ancestors.

"Lin Chen, let your head remain on your shoulder for a while longer. I will come to retrieve it myself later, which will save me the trouble of taking advantage of you now."

Dongfang Canglang spoke, pointing out with one finger. This time, he directly broke through Jiang Qing's flower formation, and his figure instantly appeared a thousand feet away, turning into a rainbow light and disappearing.

However, his words and his departure caused the expressions of the dozen or so people below to become strange.

Everyone knew that Dongfang Canglang was just making excuses for his escape. If he really didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortunes, why would he join forces with Yan Jun, and then interfere when he discovered that Yan Jun was no match for him?

But what shocked them even more was Lin Chen, who single-handedly allowed Dongfang Canglang to escape and caused Yan Jun to lose his life. This achievement was unbelievable if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

From this day forward, Lin Chen will be the number one figure among the younger generation.

After all, Yan Jun represents the most outstanding generation in the past of the martial arts world, while Dongfang Canglang represents the most outstanding generation in the future. One of them is dead and the other has escaped. Even those who stand against Lin Chen cannot refute this.

……

……

"Senior sister, are you alright?"

Lin Chen didn't chase after Dongfang Canglang. Instead, he teleported to Jiang Qing's side and helped her land back on the ground.

"It's alright, I just need to adjust my breathing."

Jiang Qing smiled to reassure Lin Chen, then took out a pill from her storage box, put it in her mouth, and sat down cross-legged on the ground to regulate her breathing.

Lin Chen stood guard for his senior sister, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. Apart from Zhang Qiang and her group from the Flower Clan, Zhang Wuji and the others left quite consciously after Lin Chen's gaze swept over them.

They were afraid Lin Chen would misunderstand, especially the three members of the Mo family. When Mo Xiao left, he solemnly explained, "Lin Chen, my clan elder only gave the spot to the Dongfang family to give them face. Dongfang Canglang's actions do not represent my Mo family."

Lin Chen stared intently, his gaze putting immense pressure on Mo Xiao and the other two until they could no longer bear it, at which point Lin Chen withdrew his gaze.

"You don't need to stay here anymore, I'll be fine."

Seeing that Zhang Qian and the others hadn't left, Lin Chen spoke up. Zhang Qiang and the others didn't insist, knowing that with the Prince Consort there, the princess wouldn't be in danger.

If they can't even handle the prince consort, then they can't help at all.

However, just as the group left the battlefield, a man from the Flower Clan suddenly stopped: "I'm preparing to leave the ancient tomb."

"Why?"

"The prince consort killed Lord Yan, which is no small matter. Leaving in advance will inform the Grand Elder and allow them to prepare. If people from other clans leave first, the news may leak out..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang and the others understood.

Yan Jun is a royal prince. The royal family will not let such a person go unpunished. They must inform the elders so that they can prepare a countermeasure to avoid being caught off guard.

"Please don't look at me like that. My strength is the weakest, and the possibility of obtaining a god-level fragment is very low. It's better to just leave like this, after all, the consort is of great significance to my Flower Clan."

At this moment, all the Flower Clan members had accepted Lin Chen as their consort, not because of their princess, but because Lin Chen was truly convinced of their worth.
