Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan shook his head. He knew Wei Lin all too well.
This fellow was indeed one of the most talented disciples in Guiyuan Academy, but his personality was far too arrogant and overbearing. Long Chen had appeared at Guiyuan Academy out of nowhere and, what’s more, possessed Feng Ziyuan’s token. In terms of seniority alone, this already placed him above Wei Lin, the Heaven’s Chosen of Guiyuan Academy. This single fact was enough to make Wei Lin extremely discontented, which was precisely why he had sought to trouble Long Chen again and again.
"Second Junior Brother, your actions are indeed inappropriate," Dong Xuan said to Wei Lin. "This Giant Poisonous Scorpion is far too dangerous. You shouldn’t be—"
Before Dong Xuan could finish, Wei Lin interrupted him. "If he can’t even handle this Giant Poisonous Scorpion, then he has no right to stand above me."
Having said that, he shouted at Long Chen, "Kid, if you can’t handle being this Giant Poisonous Scorpion’s opponent, you’d better bow your head to me and sincerely apologize. I might consider lending you a hand!"
Long Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this. Facing the Giant Poisonous Scorpion at the Fourth Stratum of the War Sect, he dared not take it lightly, but he also hadn’t used his full strength to deal with it. For now, he was only using his speed to weave around the creature.
Since this guy is using such trickery to trouble me, I naturally won’t let him simply stand by and laugh at my expense.
With this in mind, Long Chen wasn’t in a hurry to attack the Giant Poisonous Scorpion. He changed direction and headed straight for Wei Lin, intending to lure the creature over.
Upon seeing this, Wei Lin’s smile instantly froze. He had never expected Long Chen to do something like this. It caught him completely off guard.
"Scram!"
Wei Lin’s eyes narrowed. To prevent Long Chen from passing, he fiercely swung a palm, trying to force him back. To his utter surprise, however, Long Chen seemed to have anticipated the move and didn’t fall for it at all.
In a split second, Long Chen used his speed to vanish right before his eyes.
Appearing in Wei Lin’s line of sight was the rapidly approaching Giant Poisonous Scorpion.
Damn it!
He was too late to defend against the Giant Poisonous Scorpion’s attack. Left with no choice, Wei Lin had to block!
He threw a fierce punch, slamming it into the Giant Poisonous Scorpion’s body.
BANG!
The Giant Poisonous Scorpion, however, was unfazed and only retreated a short distance. Before Wei Lin could react, its long, sharp stinger shot toward him.
Wei Lin didn’t dare to face it head-on and could only dodge.
In an instant, the roles had reversed. Where Long Chen had been entangled with the Giant Poisonous Scorpion, it was now Wei Lin.
Long Chen stood to one side with his arms crossed, looking on indifferently.
Wei Lin wanted to escape, but the Giant Poisonous Scorpion relentlessly hounded him, making it impossible to break free.
"Monstrous beast!"
"Since you seek death, I shall grant it!"
Wei Lin snorted coldly, levitated into the air, and swung his sword. Several Sword Shadows instantly condensed.
"Go!"
At Wei Lin’s command, the Sword Shadows shot toward the Giant Poisonous Scorpion!
Seeing Wei Lin release such a powerful attack, the Giant Poisonous Scorpion swept its barbed tail, blocking all the Sword Shadows at once!
Wei Lin’s expression changed drastically. Without a second thought, he immediately turned to flee, but the Giant Poisonous Scorpion gave him no such chance. He had only managed to get a short distance away when the stinger once again appeared before him.
BANG!
The stinger slammed heavily into Wei Lin. His face turned pale as his internal energy churned violently. He spat out a mouthful of blood, cutting a pathetic figure.
