Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493: Striking First


"Lin Chen, do you really think I don’t dare go all out? I’ll ask you one last time, will you surrender willingly, or do you truly not care about the life or death of your woman?" Liu Yong looked at Lin Chen and said coldly.


"Ha, of course I care about the life and death of my woman. I’m not an unfeeling and unjust person, not Lin Chen." Lin Chen looked at Liu Yong and said indifferently.


"Hm, since you’re a lover boy, do you dare tell me to chop off Zhang Hongying’s head?" Liu Yong said coldly as he looked at Lin Chen.


"I’m saying, Liu Yong, are you an idiot? I care about my woman’s life and death, but what has that got to do with her? That Zhang Hongying is not my woman. This woman even hunted me down during the second assessment at Yunlong Heavenly Palace. I haven’t settled that score yet. Now’s a good time, go ahead, you’re helping me solve this problem."


"Such a good deed naturally needs to be recorded; we can’t let you, Liu Yong, go unsung. Oh, right, I happen to have an Image Capturing Talisman here. I can help you record this scene." Lin Chen looked at Liu Yong and said indifferently.


With that, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and two Image Capturing Talismans appeared in Lin Chen’s hand.


Then Lin Chen activated them, and two light screens instantly appeared before him, starting to record what Liu Yong did to Zhang Hongying.


"Alright, the Image Capturing Talismans are ready for you. Liu Yong, don’t let me down. Otherwise, it would be a waste of these two talismans."


"When setting out from Yunlong Heavenly Palace, what did Elder Du say? He told us not to attack fellow students? I’ll give Elder Du a copy of this Image Capturing Talisman. I’m eagerly anticipating his expression."


"Liu Yong, Liu Yong, a man taller than seven feet, if you have the idea to chop off Zhang Hongying’s head, you should do it boldly. Don’t become a coward because I took out these talismans."


After taking out the Image Capturing Talisman, Lin Chen immediately confronted Liu Yong, taunting him from the side.


Seeing this situation, Liu Yong felt inwardly uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly, momentarily clueless about what to do.


He had only heard of the Image Capturing Talisman, an expensive item, but had never seen it. It was said that only some Super Powers had them, and unexpectedly, Lin Chen had one in his hand.


Liu Yong knew that some large trading companies in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom did sell such talismans, but they were very expensive, not something an average Martial Artist would purchase.


However, Liu Yong did not expect Lin Chen to own them, and at this moment, he observed the image on the light screen, confirming it was indeed a true Image Capturing Talisman.


So seeing this talisman, Liu Yong no longer dared to chop off Zhang Hongying’s head. If he did, the Zhang Family and the Liu Family would become mortal enemies, and when the Zhang Family came knocking, the Liu Family, to protect itself, would avoid a total war with the Zhang Family given the heavy consequences.


Moreover, with this Image Capturing Talisman, the Law Enforcement Hall of Yunlong Heavenly Palace wouldn’t let him off.


Elder Du emphasized when leading everyone out of Yunlong Heavenly Palace that in this journey to the ruins, they should help each other and never attack fellow students. However, now Liu Yong was using his sword against Zhang Hongying’s neck; if he were to cut it, Yunlong Heavenly Palace might sentence him to death.


"Liu Yong, why are you still standing there? My Image Capturing Talisman is running out of time. If you don’t act, you’d be wasting my two talismans."


Seeing Liu Yong hesitate for a long time, Lin Chen even forced him to act.


Upon hearing this, Zhang Caiyun suddenly became furious.


"Lin Chen, you bastard, indeed we’ve had grudges with you over some matters in the past, but you shouldn’t act so despicably at this moment."


Zhang Caiyun watched Lin Chen repeatedly provoke Liu Yong and immediately cursed him angrily.


"Ha, why not be despicable? Your Zhang Family doesn’t have the guts. Your own kin are being held at sword-point, and you don’t even dare to make a sound. If you had the capability, you’d deal with Liu Yong."


Lin Chen looked at Zhang Caiyun, angrily retorting at once.


Hearing this, Zhang Caiyun’s cheeks flushed red.


She was worried Liu Yong would act irrationally and harm Zhang Hongying, hence her reluctance to act rashly.


"Hm, I’m tired of arguing with you people. Liu Yong, will you act or not? After dealing with you, I need to settle scores with Yun Kaige."


"Since you’re so indecisive, then I’ll be impolite."


Lin Chen said coldly, and immediately swung his hand. Suddenly, ten Fire Dragons below him attacked the crowd indiscriminately.


Boom—


Ten Fire Dragons charged at the crowd, with such powerful assaults that Zhang Caiyun was shocked, immediately ordering the Zhang Family members to retreat and evade the Fire Dragons.


The force of the ten Fire Dragons was immensely powerful. Zhang Caiyun finally understood why Yun Kaige and the others suddenly fled from the depths of the Fire Sea, and it turned out Lin Chen was hunting them down, chased away by these ten Fire Dragons.


Under the attack of these ten Fire Dragons, everyone below fled one after another. Liu Yong couldn’t pay attention to using Zhang Hongying to threaten Lin Chen anymore.


Lin Chen didn’t fall for it at all, and he thought to himself that Lin Chen’s indiscriminate attack, if it caused casualties among the Zhang Family and Liang Family Martial Artists, would make Lin Chen a mortal enemy of those families. Considering this, he directly threw Zhang Hongying towards the Fire Dragon.


Boom—


The Fire Dragon approached and immediately enveloped Zhang Hongying.


Zhang Caiyun, seeing this, immediately flew to Zhang Hongying, intending to rescue her, but both were swallowed by the Fire Dragon.


"Junior Sister Zhang!"


Liang Xuanzhen watched the Fire Dragon engulf Zhang Hongying and Zhang Caiyun, utterly stunned, yet he did not attempt rescue, as he sensed a grave danger in the presence of the ten Fire Dragons. If he acted, not only would he fail to save the two girls, but his own life would be lost.


The Zhang Family looked on as Zhang Hongying and Zhang Caiyun were swallowed by the Fire Dragon and fell into despair.


Zhang Caiyun couldn’t believe that saving Zhang Hongying this time would cost her own life, and Lin Chen, this bastard, truly merciless, wouldn’t even spare Zhang Hongying.


She previously thought Lin Chen had affection for Zhang Hongying. But now it seemed she had misunderstood.


If there was indeed some extraordinary intimate relationship between the two, Lin Chen wouldn’t have pushed Liu Yong to act before.
