Chapter 1492: Chapter 1492: Believe It or Not, I’ll Kill Your Woman
Zhang Hongying was forced to hand over the Purple Scale Fruit to Yun Kaige.
As for Liu Yong, to prove he didn’t have the Purple Scale Fruit, he even went to the extent of handing over his Spatial Treasure for inspection by the Black Yan Hall people.
This move immediately made Zhang Hongying, Liang Xuanzhen, and others suspicious of the Liu Family, as such behavior was extremely unusual.
After all, they were people from the Yunlong Heavenly Palace. Was it necessary to prove their innocence in front of the Black Yan Hall?
After Yun Kaige and others took Zhang Hongying’s Purple Scale Fruit, if the Zhang Family and Liang Family were not steadfast and united, Yun Kaige would have directly taken action to kill all the members of these two families.
He was deeply afraid that today’s dealings with the Black Yan Hall would be exposed.
But if he were to take action, there must be no survivors, otherwise, he would be held accountable by the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, even though he was a Thirteenth Prince of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, he was very fearful of the Heavenly Palace.
If they acted, they could kill most of the Zhang and Liang Family members, but Zhang Hongying, Zhang Caiyun, and Liang Xuanzhen could very likely escape.
So, Yun Kaige finally decided to imprison the Zhang and Liang Family members completely on a part of the island. Despite their dissatisfaction with Yun Kaige and his collaboration with the Black Yan Hall, they were powerless to resist.
If they were to resist forcibly, they feared they would be slaughtered by Yun Kaige.
However, Yun Kaige later forced Zhang Hongying to hand over the Purple Scale Fruit, causing Zhang Caiyun to feel utterly hopeless, realizing Yun Kaige and the Heaven Hall disciples had colluded with the Black Yan Hall.
Zhang Caiyun considered fighting their way out through a bloody path, but doing so would likely doom both the Zhang and Liang Family members.
Now, the members of the Zhang and Liang Families were held captive on the island, who would have thought that two families of the Eight Great Noble Families of Yunlong City would be reduced to such a mere slaughterable fate?
Zhang Hongying also felt desperate, as half a month passed with no sign of Lin Chen. She thought Lin Chen had long perished in the Fire Sea.
Now that the Zhang Family was isolated, attempting to resist Yun Kaige and others seemed extremely difficult, and acting rashly would plunge the Zhang Family into eternal ruin.
Yet, when Zhang Caiyun was torn in thought, the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, and ten Fire Dragons appeared in the sky, carrying a figure—it was Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, it’s actually you, you didn’t die!"
Zhang Caiyun looked at Lin Chen, astonished.
After Lin Chen plunged into the Fire Sea, he hadn’t been heard from for half a month. They all thought Lin Chen was certainly dead, but unexpectedly, Lin Chen was now flying here.
"Lin Chen, it’s really you. You’re alive, that’s wonderful."
Upon hearing Zhang Caiyun’s words, Zhang Hongying cried tears of joy, looking at Lin Chen.
Then Zhang Hongying approached the edge of the island’s cliff, preparing to fly towards the Fire Sea to find Lin Chen.
However, just as Zhang Hongying was about to move, Liu Yong suddenly shifted, appearing with a Sharp Sword at Zhang Hongying’s neck.
Faced with this sudden scene, Zhang Hongying dared not move recklessly.
She had no doubts; if Liu Yong’s Sharp Sword moved, her life would be forfeit.
"Liu Yong, what are you doing! Let Hong Ying go immediately."
Zhang Caiyun did not expect Liu Yong, who was supposed to guard their Zhang Family members, to act this way, immediately shouted angrily at Liu Yong.
But, in the face of Zhang Caiyun’s anger, Liu Yong ignored it, turning his head to look at Lin Chen with an evil smirk on his lips.
"Lin Chen, I advise you to give up resistance and surrender quietly, otherwise I will behead this woman."
Liu Yong looked at Lin Chen, believing holding Zhang Hongying hostage could threaten Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen seemed indifferent, with a smile on his lips.
"If you’re going to behead her, go ahead."
"I urge you to act quickly, and then we can settle the matter between us."
Lin Chen looked at Liu Yong and said coldly.
Seeing Lin Chen’s unconcerned attitude, Liu Yong was a bit flustered.
"Lin Chen, don’t pretend to be calm. This is your woman. Do you think I wouldn’t dare to act? If I cut off her head, you’d regret it."
Liu Yong glared at Lin Chen, threatening coldly, his face fierce, and then he slid the Sharp Sword in his hand.
Crunch—
Zhang Hongying’s neck was immediately slashed with a wound, fresh blood flowing out, staining Zhang Hongying’s face.
"Ah..."
"Liu Yong, stop it, or the Zhang Family will never rest until one of us is dead."
Zhang Caiyun, seeing Liu Yong dare to actually act, immediately spoke angrily.
With those words, Zhang Caiyun’s palm produced another Sharp Sword, preparing to attack Liu Yong.
"Junior Sister Zhang, don’t act rashly, Junior Sister Hong Ying is still in his hands. She is just hurt, not in mortal danger."
Liang Xuanzhen immediately reached out to stop Zhang Caiyun, who was about to fight desperately, speaking.
Upon hearing, Zhang Caiyun looked at Zhang Hongying and found that although Liu Yong had acted against her, he hadn’t dealt a fatal blow, merely slashing Zhang Hongying’s throat a little.
"Liu Yong, what conditions do you want? As long as you release Hong Ying, the Zhang Family will agree to anything."
Zhang Caiyun looked coldly at Liu Yong, although inwardly hating Liu Yong to the bone, she could not ignore Zhang Hongying’s life.
"Lin Chen, what do you think of my sword? Come over and surrender, or my next sword won’t just cut a mere inch of flesh. You can prepare to bury your woman."
Liu Yong looked at Lin Chen, coldly smiling.
"Liu Yong, for an old student of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, you don’t even know how to use a sword. Slashing like this won’t kill her. If you want to kill her, just cut down with the sword, and her head will be separated from her body. Why hesitate?"
Lin Chen looked at Liu Yong and said coldly.
Not fearing for Zhang Hongying’s life, Lin Chen’s words provoked Liu Yong, leaving him somewhat puzzled.
Liu Yong didn’t actually dare to kill Zhang Hongying, knowing that such an action would lead the Zhang Family to battle the Liu Family to the death.
