Chen Ling's expression darkened to the extreme, nearly driven to madness.
Today was supposed to be the day he ascended to the pinnacle of his life, but all of it was ruined by Lin Chen the poor loser.
It was this loser who had cast him from heaven into hell, ensuring his utter destruction.
He wanted revenge, he wanted this loser to endure endless pain to vent the fury in his heart.
"Kid, I'm going to kill you, flay you alive, draw out your tendons, feed your flesh to the dogs, and leave you without a complete corpse," Chen Ling said with a venomous look in his eyes, filled with murderous intent.
"Is that so?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, a cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Indeed, someone will die here today, but that person isn't me, it's you."
The entire hall erupted into chaos once again.
How audacious this kid was, to declare on the Chen family's turf that he planned to kill their second young master.
Chen Ling's face turned pale with rage, unable to bear it any longer, he turned to a bald man behind him and barked, "Go, kill him for me!"
At Chen Ling's command, the bald man behind him shot forward, the dagger in his hand gleaming with a chilling light, stabbing toward Lin Chen's throat like a venomous snake.
A Golden Core expert!
Everyone was shocked once more, for such a master was considered a peak existence in Huaxia, one who could sweep through a territory, annihilating an entire third-rate family.
A sinister smile crossed Chen Ling's lips: "Kid, you dared to defy me, now you will pay with your life."
But the next moment, his smile abruptly froze as he witnessed a shocking scene.
Because the dagger had struck not Lin Chen but an afterimage, and in the next moment, Lin Chen appeared behind the bald man, reaching out to grab the bald man's shoulder and yanking hard.
Accompanied by a scream, the man's arm was violently torn off by Lin Chen.
With a thud, the bald man collapsed to the ground, clutching his severed limb and howling in pain.
The screams, the blood flowing on the ground, turned the entire hall into a scene from hell.
"How is this possible!"
The smile on Chen Ling's face instantly solidified, his face filled with horror.
How could a Golden Core expert's arm be torn off so easily? Chen Ling rubbed his eyes, thinking he might have seen it wrong.
It wasn't just him, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.
To think that a Golden Core expert was incapacitated by Lin Chen with a single move; just how strong was this guy?
"Attack together, all of you, go!" Chen Ling roared back to his senses in a frenzy.
Behind Chen Ling, seven more figures in black exploded forward.
"Seven Golden Core experts, Lin Chen, no matter how strong you are, today you will die here," Chen Ling said with a maniacal grin on his face.
The seven Golden Core experts attacked simultaneously, the cold aura they emitted causing everyone around them to tremble.
Such an array was enough to confront an early-stage Nascent Soul expert.
"Lin Chen!" Su Xiaobei's complexion turned deathly pale as she watched Lin Chen trapped in a deadly situation, her eyes already brimming with tears.
"It's all because of me, because of me... I've caused his downfall..."
At this moment, Su Xiaobei had already made up her mind; if anything happened to Lin Chen, she would take his place in death without any hesitation.
"Su Xiaobei, haven't you always been thinking about this stinking man? Today I will make you watch him die right before your eyes, hahaha!" Chen Ling laughed maniacally.
"You are mine, you wretch; I will torment you thoroughly and make your life worse than death." At this moment, Chen Ling had lost the refined demeanor he once had, hysterical like a mad dog.
However, just when he was most arrogantly triumphant, a startled gasp suddenly rang out in the hall, and Chen Ling's gaze shifted towards the fray, the next moment he saw a scene that utterly horrified him.
A flash of golden light appeared in Lin Chen's pupils, activating his "Slaying God" technique.
The seven powerhouses charging forward were struck as if by lightning, suddenly freezing in place.
And in the next instant, they were like lambs to the slaughter, Lin Chen snapping their necks one by one.
"Thud, thud..." seven corpses fell to the ground.
Chen Ling, looking at the corpses on the ground, filled his eyes with horror and despair.
How is this possible!
Those were seven Golden Core experts, how could they let Lin Chen slaughter them like fools.
But the seven lifeless bodies lying in disarray on the ground forced him to believe this astonishing scene.
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, everyone staring blankly at the young man standing in the center.
He had actually killed seven Golden Core experts in less than a minute, it was like a dream.
"This must be a dream, this must be a dream!"
Looking at the seven Golden Core experts lying on the ground, Chen Ling finally collapsed, thudding to the ground.
At this moment, Su Wenqing's face had gone pale, his back already soaked with sweat.
In his eyes, Lin Chen was just a medic, he never imagined Lin Chen would be so formidable.
Someone capable of instantly killing seven Golden Core experts, he had never heard of such a person.
Su Wenqing now had some regrets, realizing he had offended a fearsomely ruthless figure, a demonically talented one.
At this moment, Chen Ling finally recovered from his initial shock, he got up from the ground and dusted off the dirt from his body.
"Mr. Lin, I was wrong, I can give Su Xiaobei to you, I can also offer endless glory and wealth, as long as you are willing to join me."
That video had basically sent him to hell, this time losing seven Golden Core experts, grievously injuring one, forget being Family Head, he probably would be thoroughly cast out into cold oblivion.
But if he could recruit Lin Chen to his side, that would be different; with such a fearsomely ruthless person, not just the Chen family head, but even dominating Capital City wouldn't be a problem.
Hearing Chen Ling's words, the hall filled with envious gazes.
Those people, who wanted to join the Chen family but couldn't even find a way in, knew a large family like the Chen family with its influence spread throughout the whole of China could ensure boundless prospects for the future.
"Join you?" Lin Chen showed a playful expression.
"Of course, as long as you become my subordinate, I guarantee I can give you everything you want!" Chen Ling said confidently.
All eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, many already convinced he would agree to Chen Ling's offer under such temptation.
However, Lin Chen only smiled faintly, "Sorry, what I want, you can't give me, and right now, I want your life."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the surroundings erupted in uproar again; Lin Chen not only refused Chen Ling's invitation, but even wanted to kill him.
Take the life of the second young master of the Chen family—had this guy gone mad?
Chen Ling's gaze instantly turned colder: "You want to kill me, you'd better think about the consequences. The Chen family is not something a poor loser like you can contend with, its terror, is beyond your imagination."
"Is that so? But I'd like to try." No sooner had the words left his mouth, Lin Chen's hand had already clutched Chen Ling's throat, lifting him into mid-air.
"Cough, cough, you, you can't kill me, I'm the second young master of the Chen family..."
"The Chen family? I'm not afraid of the Zhou family either, so what's the Chen family to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen's wrist twisted forcefully.
"Crack!" Chen Ling's neck was snapped, his body going limp.
Dead, the Chen family's second young master was actually dead; everyone was stunned.
