Chapter 2563 - 2564: Supreme Elder

Chapter 2563: Chapter 2564: Supreme Elder

The voice carrying that sentence was deep and far?reaching, and as many people heard it, they all turned around in unison, looking toward where the sound had come from.

Right after, many people saw an elderly man with an immortal air, white hair, and a dignified bearing slowly walking over, surrounded by a crowd. The posture he displayed was one that truly inspired dread.

Lin Chen had never expected this person to actually come here to save him; it was completely beyond his expectations and left him somewhat astonished.

In that instant, a rather brilliant thought suddenly flashed through Lin Chen’s mind—could it be that Xiao Ying was following behind this old man?

"Supreme Elder!"

The Great Elder naturally knew the true identity of this old man before him, but as these few words spread out, many people shuddered inwardly; they had never thought that the legendary Supreme Elder would actually come to this place today.

"Since you know I am the Supreme Elder, then hurry up and let him go."

This made everyone present feel somewhat surprised, because they were very familiar with the Supreme Elder’s conduct. He had always hated evil with a passion, and would absolutely never show leniency to the demonic and depraved of the world—yet today he had taken the initiative to ask them to release Lin Chen.

"Supreme Elder, this man has done evil and harmed our people. This time we hope the Supreme Elder will not intervene, and allow our own clan to handle this matter."

Although the Great Elder had always been proud and knew his own abilities well, he was especially clear that if he really clashed head?on with the Supreme Elder, there would be only one outcome—death.

Even the Nangong Clan Leader here could not fight the Supreme Elder.

Although the Azure Dragon Gang was no longer what it once was, its fortunes having declined, that did not mean its strength was insufficient to crush their Nangong family.

"You ignorant brat are truly bold—you don’t even listen to my words anymore."

The Great Elder clenched his hands, veins bulging all over his body as he glared at the Supreme Elder. The other was simply going too far, actually meddling in their Nangong family’s affairs.

"I’ll say it again. I hope the Supreme Elder can know his place. You may be formidable, but that doesn’t mean my Nangong is afraid of you."

The Supreme Elder did not respond. He merely extended his right hand, and a streak of green light shot out, its speed so fast it was impossible to guard against. The Great Elder dodged quickly.

Immediately after, the Supreme Elder leapt into the air and vanished from midair; when he appeared again, he was already behind the Great Elder, and he kicked the Great Elder squarely in the back.

The Great Elder fell from midair and slammed into the ground, his eyes filled with shock and astonishment. He had never imagined this man’s abilities would be so terrifyingly powerful.

He truly was no match for the Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elder turned around and walked toward Lin Chen step by step. Xiao Bawang took a step forward, blocking the Supreme Elder’s path.

"Supreme Elder, you’d best not interfere in this matter."

"Get out of my sight. I don’t want to fight with ignorant vermin like you—you’re not worthy to cross hands with me."

In the Supreme Elder’s eyes, Xiao Bawang was far too young to be even close to a worthy opponent. Even a figure as venerable as the Great Elder had not been able to withstand a single move from him.

So what could this Xiao Bawang in front of him possibly amount to?

"I’ve long heard of the Supreme Elder’s extraordinary skills. Since I am fortunate enough to meet you today, I must spar with you and see whether it is you who takes another step forward, or I who edge out a victory."

Xiao Bawang was openly challenging the Supreme Elder.

"Very well, you overestimating little brat—today I’ll grant your wish."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen had already made a fairly good guess about the cause and effect of the whole affair. There could only be one reason the Supreme Elder was stepping in to help him—he wanted to use Lin Chen to persuade Xiao Ying.

How could Lin Chen, for the sake of his own selfish desires, sacrifice the lifelong happiness of the girl he loved? He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Hey, you so?called Supreme Elder, you should go back now. Don’t save me; I don’t need your help." Lin Chen actually took the initiative to refuse, leaving many people staring in stunned disbelief.

Was he insane? Faced with a chance to keep his life, he actually didn’t cherish it and instead asked the Supreme Elder to withdraw. They all knew how many people wished for Grandmaster Taishan to personally intervene and save them, yet none had ever had that chance.

"You little brat, don’t be so ignorant. You think I’m begging you? If it weren’t for the Saint Girl’s orders, do you think I’d wade into this muddy water?"

Lin Chen silently sighed to himself—sure enough, the truth of the entire situation was exactly as he had imagined; it turned out Xiao Ying had entrusted him with this.

"She didn’t come with you?"

Lin Chen was extremely excited at this moment as he looked at the old man standing not far in front of him, hoping to get a clear answer. If Xiao Ying could appear here right now, he would naturally be overjoyed.

Seeing the dazzling light shining in his eyes, Nangong Xue understood who this "Xiao Ying" really was.

So the one he truly loved was that girl named Xiao Ying—this made Nangong burn with jealousy.

Nangong Xue had to see Lin Chen dead today; she would absolutely not allow him to live in this world. So she leapt over to Xiao Bawang’s side, deciding to fight shoulder to shoulder with him.

"We must kill him." Nangong Xue’s attitude this time was utterly firm and resolute, which even left the Supreme Elder somewhat surprised.

"Girl, I originally didn’t want to hurt you. After all, there’s still some friendship between me and your old man. But if you keep being this ungrateful, don’t blame me for disregarding old ties."

"I absolutely will not allow you to take him away. He must die today."

Nangong Xue’s words left Xiao Bawang wild with joy. He had thought she still clung to past feelings, but now he saw that this girl had long since given up on you.

"All right then, Xiaoxue—today let the two of us kill him together."

So the two of them both leapt high into the air, rising up into the sky. They drew their weapons, which emitted all kinds of different lights that intertwined with each other in midair.

Those lights then coalesced into a massive sphere that swept down toward the Supreme Elder on the ground. Grandmaster Taishan saw this and extended a finger of his right hand.

The next instant, that sphere was swiftly shattered.

The scene that unfolded before them was beyond everyone’s expectations, for no one had imagined such a thing could happen.

The Supreme Elder had not even gone all out just now, yet had effortlessly defeated them. If he truly used his full strength, the two of them would likely already be dead.
