Lin Chen was frantic with urgency as he dashed toward the western jungle at breakneck speed.

Just then, the sound of fighting came from not too far away.

A girl drenched in blood burst out from the bushes.

Tang Bao'er's body was covered with slashes, her originally tied-up hair now a disheveled mess, and a streak of blood lingering on the corner of her mouth.

No sooner had she emerged from the jungle than several clan disciples wielding blades chased after her.

These clan disciples wore somewhat strange attire, all donned in poison-proof masks and fully clad in specially made rubber suits to prevent poisoning.

Swoosh!

A feathered arrow shot out, striking Tang Bao'er directly in the leg.

Tang Bao'er stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Tsk tsk, pretty girl... I wonder where you think you can escape to this time," a few clan disciples surrounded her as one spoke.

Tang Bao'er lay on the ground, pale-faced, yet her expression still carried an indomitable spirit as she looked at the men wearing poison-proof masks behind her.

"Tsk tsk! Little lass, aren't you skilled in using poison? Keep using it!" one burly man said, staring at Tang Bao'er and sneering.

"Haha, indeed, Young Master Miao was brilliantly prescient in having us wear poison-proof masks; otherwise, this little girl would have been quite troublesome to handle," a Martial Artist beside him jeered coldly.

"Hmph, without her poison she's just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; it's a pity she's all poison through and through, otherwise, haha, we brothers could have enjoyed this perfect body," another man laughed uproariously.

Tang Bao'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly, "Don't be so smug, when Lin Chen arrives, he won't let you off."

"Haha, you mean Lin Chen? That guy is like a rat, long since scurrying off to who knows where. And with his bit of cultivation, even if he were to show up, what could he do? You're in our hands; he'd have no choice but to surrender," the man replied with a ferocious laugh.

Tang Bao'er suddenly burst out laughing, "Dream on about using me as a hostage. Even though I can't kill you, no one can stop me if I choose to die."

"Heh, it wouldn't matter if you died. We'll hang your body up for all to admire. Haha, I can't imagine what Lin Chen would feel seeing your stripped body hanging from a tree," the man boasted arrogantly.

"Hmph, you beasts, dreaming of having my body, you're dreaming," Tang Bao'er bit her silver teeth, a determined light shining in her eyes.

"Master, I'm sorry I can no longer protect you. If fate wills it, we'll meet again in the next life," Tang Bao'er said as she closed her eyes, ready to activate her poison and corrupt her own body.

Though it would be agonizing and her death hideous, Tang Bao'er had resolved to not give these people the chance to use her to disgrace Lin Chen.

Just at that moment, the sound of rushing wind suddenly filled her ears, and a figure appeared before her as swiftly as lightning.

"Silly girl, your life is mine, and if I don't give you permission to die, you aren't allowed to die, not even by your own hand," a familiar voice sounded by her ear.

Upon hearing the voice, Tang Bao'er's face lit up with joy, and her eyes swiftly reddened, "Master, you're here."

Tang Bao'er's voice trembled with emotion; she could never have imagined that, at the brink of her own demise, she would see the only person she regarded as family.

Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared, the other man's gaze sharpened, "Are you Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen's eyes were icy as he regarded the group, "You trash dare bully a girl, you all deserve to die today."

"Hmph, Lin Chen, who do you think you are? Just early in the Innate Realm, you aren't any stronger than each of us. Five against one, you're the one who should worry about dying, have you lost your mind?!" the burly man burst into hysterical laughter.

"Is that so?" Lin Chen's lips curled into a cold smile as a formidable aura suddenly burst forth from him.

"Boom!"

An intense heatwave caused the five Innate Realm Martial Artists who had been pursuing Tang Bao'er to suddenly change expressions.

How is this possible, how does this lad have such strong momentum?

It's not right, this momentum even exceeds the Innate Realm.

Impossible, this lad is actually a martial artist of the Heavenly Origin Realm!

When they discovered that Lin Chen was of the Heavenly Origin Realm, several people were immediately terrified out of their wits.

They never dreamed that the prey they were desperately searching for had suddenly become an existence as terrifying as a wild beast.

"Damn it, run for it!"

That man didn't hesitate for a second, turning around to flee.

The others, too, nearly wished their parents had given them an extra set of legs as they frantically ran into the jungle.

However, when they looked up suddenly, they realized, without knowing when, Lin Chen had already appeared in front of them.

"How can this guy be so fast." Several people looked at Lin Chen, whose eyes were filled with a cold murderous intent, and each one of them felt their scalp tingle and legs tremble.

"Bao'er, just watch, those who bullied you, I will make their end a hundred times more miserable than yours," Lin Chen's cold voice rose in the forest.

As his words fell, Lin Chen waved a single hand, and five clusters of faintly glowing purple and gold flames suddenly shot out.

Instantly, raging flames burst forth on the bodies of the five martial artists.

This Purple Flame Golden Fire did not engulf the several men in one breath, but started burning from their lower halves.

The people rolled on the ground in agony, watching wide-eyed as their bodies were slowly devoured by the Purple Flame Golden Fire.

The girls by Lin Chen's side had always been his Achilles' heel, untouchable on pain of death.

Today, these bastards not only left Bao'er covered in wounds but even didn't spare her corpse, so being devoured by the fire was a fitting end for their crimes.

Watching the people turn to ashes, Tang Bao'er's face was full of shock.

She knew that she had just exchanged blows with these people; each of them was not weak, yet Lin Chen killed them as easily as slaughtering dogs and pigs.

Moreover, from the aura that Lin Chen had just exuded, she realized that Lin Chen had become stronger, and a lot stronger than before.

After dealing with the several men, Lin Chen hurried over to Tang Bao'er's side, "Bao'er, how are you?"

Seeing the wounds all over Tang Bao'er's body, Lin Chen's face filled with guilt; it was his fault for not protecting Tang Bao'er properly.

Tang Bao'er looked at Lin Chen and showed a faint smile on her face, "Master, I'm fine, it's just some superficial skin wounds."

Lin Chen pulled out the arrow from Tang Bao'er's body and then took out a powder to sprinkle on her wounds.

"Bao'er, have you seen Xiaohua?" Lin Chen asked while he was treating Tang Bao'er's wounds.

At the mention of Zhao Xiaohua, Tang Bao'er's face suddenly changed, "Master, don't worry about me, go and save Xiaohua, she is being besieged right now."

It turned out that Tang Bao'er and Zhao Xiaohua had encountered each other later on. The two of them had initially intended to find Lin Chen together, but instead ran into a chase by several other forces. Xiaohua, in an effort to cover for Tang Bao'er, had fallen into the encirclement of several powerful martial artists.

Bastards!

Lin Chen's face grew more and more unsightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Eight major forces, you have gone too far in bullying others. Since this is the case, today everyone who has laid hands on Lin Chen's women has to die.
