Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: Joining Forces Against the Enemy
"From now on, you are also my enemy, Yang Minghui. My act of saving you was a misunderstanding. When we meet on the battlefield, it’s each on their own merit, and neither should hold back."
Yang Minghui looked at Zhang Hongying and coldly said.
She had thought Zhang Hongying was different from her brother, but it turned out there was no difference between the two.
Her brother had been arrogant first regarding the matter with Yu Weilian, and she hadn’t expected Zhang Hongying not only to fail to discipline her brother but to actually target Lin Chen.
Such blind loyalty made Yang Minghui extremely displeased.
However, siding with family is normal as human nature; right and wrong are not always absolute.
Thus, Yang Minghui chose to stand by Lin Chen.
She hadn’t expected Zhang Hongying had previously targeted Lin Chen, nearly taking Lin Chen’s life.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have saved Zhang Hongying, she would have killed her when she was unconscious.
"Young Master Yang, will you become my enemy just because of this guy?"
Zhang Hongying felt chilled by Yang Minghui’s words and struggled to accept the result.
"Yes, precisely because of him, Young Master Lin Chen is my enemy," Yang Minghui said seriously, cold-faced.
Lin Chen also paused on hearing this, surprised at Yang Xiaoniu’s resolute side.
He was quite pleased and immediately came to Yang Minghui’s side.
"Well done, I’ve known you for so long, and you’ve finally made a sensible decision."
Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui, nodding and praising.
Upon hearing this, Yang Minghui frowned slightly, wondering if this guy was speaking normally.
Seeing Yang Minghui make such a decision, Zhang Hongying couldn’t understand why Yang Minghui treated her this way.
What charm did Lin Chen have that fascinated her?
But Zhang Hongying didn’t realize Lin Chen might be a man, but Yang Minghui was indeed a woman.
"Have you finished talking?"
Liu Yong, standing to the side, initially watched the drama but was growing increasingly impatient.
These guys weren’t taking him seriously enough.
At this moment, they were still flirting oblivious to their surroundings, especially considering two men and one woman, with such a complicated relationship, Liu Yong couldn’t be bothered to listen anymore.
"I don’t care if you’re done chatting. I’ll send you on your way, and you can sort out your emotional entanglements en route."
Liu Yong eyed them, swinging his large knife coldly.
Next, this place would be his hunting ground.
"You’d better leave now. I’ll hold him off as payback for saving my life."
Zhang Hongying was depressed, looking at Liu Yong, ready to fight desperately.
Hearing Zhang Hongying’s words, Lin Chen’s mouth twitched.
"No wonder you two met up, the heavens must think you’re the same kind of brainless," Lin Chen couldn’t help but retort.
Upon these words, Yang Minghui and Zhang Hongying turned simultaneously, angrily glaring at Lin Chen.
"Who are you calling brainless? Explain yourself today," Zhang Hongying scolded, her eyes on Lin Chen, as if they could kill, Lin Chen might have died countless times already.
Hearing these words, Lin Chen’s mouth twitched, surprised by Zhang Hongying’s ferocity.
"Haha, can’t you see? This guy relies on his strong power, entirely intending to finish us all off, intending to kill us all here."
"If your cultivation were at peak status, you could indeed battle him, but in your current state, if we escape, you’ll die quicker, and we’ll be picked off one by one. But if we join forces, there’s perhaps a sliver of hope."
"So you say we should leave first, while you stay behind to fight him. Do you think you’re brainless?"
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying, speaking indifferently.
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Hongying was speechless.
Just as Lin Chen finished speaking, Liu Yong, from afar, could bear no more.
He was one of the Top Ten Heroes. These guys discussing openly in front of him completely disregarded him, and he couldn’t endure it.
At this moment, a blade gleam instantly slashed towards Lin Chen.
Seeing this, Lin Chen remained fearless, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand, slashing towards Liu Yong.
The blade and sword gleam instantly clashed, erupting with a tremendous explosion, and powerful energy spread outwards.
Neither energy wave took the upper hand in their collision.
This greatly changed Liu Yong’s expression, shocking him, thinking Lin Chen, whom he regarded as trash, only had the fifth level of Nirvana realm strength, yet possessed such formidable combat power.
Liu Yong looked at Lin Chen, his expression betraying unhidden intense killing intent.
In his heart now, Lin Chen was the primary target for elimination.
Lin Chen, so young yet possessing such strength, if allowed to grow, would become the greatest threat.
So this time, even if he couldn’t eliminate other Top Ten Heroes from Yunlong City, Lin Chen must be eradicated.
Then, they began to battle.
At the first moment of the conflict, Yang Minghui immediately took Yu Weilian away from the battlefield’s center because the fight at this level was too widespread, and if Yu Weilian got involved, she’d likely be severely injured.
"Zhang Hongying, are you just going to stand there watching? Come help, this guy aims to kill us all,"
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying standing still while watching him fight, loudly rebuking.
Zhang Hongying, hearing Lin Chen’s words, felt unpleasant being a proud Mrs. Zhang Family prodigy reprimanded by a lower cultivation level individual.
But she had no choice but to heed Lin Chen’s rebuke and fight Liu Yong, because Lin Chen was right; Liu Yong was targeting all of them, and she must join forces with Lin Chen to deal with Liu Yong.
She hadn’t expected to join forces with Lin Chen, whether she had recently wanted to kill Lin Chen.
Although Zhang Hongying joined the battlefield, due to previously burning Essence Blood and suffering from the Secret Technique’s counterattack, her body was not fully recovered. Current participation in the battle meant teaming up with Lin Chen couldn’t gain the upper hand.
