Lin Chen's foot relentlessly stamped between Wang Bin's legs, and soon all the fire on Wang Bin's body was extinguished.

Clutching his groin, Wang Bin let out a bloodcurdling scream:

Witnessing this harrowing scene, everyone shivered; although Lin Chen was trying to help, his stomp was just too damn vicious.

Watching Wang Bin howling on the ground, Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Brother, don't thank me."

At that moment, two figures emerged from the crowd, Zhao Yuan from the Zhao family and Wu Guang from the Wu family. They were the strongest among the group, both Innate Realm experts.

Although Lin Chen had set Wang Bin on fire and escaped the notice of others, he couldn't escape the observation of these two Innate Realm powerhouses.

While wary, they looked at Lin Chen and said coldly, "Brother, your kick was too harsh, don't you know that this Wang Bin is one of our people? Hitting him is like showing disrespect to our four great families."

"Respect? Blocking the way and not letting people pass, you've already lost face, and you still want respect?" Lin Chen snorted coldly.

"Boom!"

The bystanders, after hearing Lin Chen's imposing words, all changed expressions. This guy was so arrogant, he was blatantly insulting the Xu, Miao, Zhao, and Wu families for being shameless.

"Is this kid tired of living?"

Murder flickered in Zhao Yuan's eyes, "What did you say?"

Lin Chen let out a cold laugh, "Are you deaf? I said your four families have no shame."

"Kid, you're courting death!" Wu Guang's eyes turned icy, and suddenly a Fireball shot toward Lin Chen.

"Bang!"

In an instant, Lin Chen was engulfed by raging flames.

Seeing Lin Chen quickly swallowed by the fire, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh.

"This young man is too arrogant, daring to insult the four big families openly, he's really asking for it."

"Pitiful, so young and now turned into a pile of char, that's what showing off gets you."

However, to everyone's surprise, there were no screams or signs of struggle from within the fireball.

At that moment, Wu Guang's eyes narrowed, fixated on the figure that slowly walked out of the flames.

"How is that possible? This guy didn't get hurt at all, his clothes are even pristine, not even burned."

"Kid, that's not how you play with fire." The corners of Lin Chen's mouth lifted slightly.

He snapped his fingers gently.

"Click!"

Whoosh, Wu Guang's groin was instantly engulfed in flames.

The onlooking crowd finally understood why Wang Bin's crotch had caught fire earlier—it was this guy's doing.

"Ah, ah!" Feeling the sudden blaze at his groin, Wu Guang's face turned pale.

"Zhao Yuan, save me." Wu Guang knew fire, and he understood the horror of Lin Chen's mysterious purple flame.

Zhao Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Wu, I'll put out the fire for you right away."

Saying this, Zhao Yuan lifted his wrist, and streams of water sprayed between Wu Guang's legs.

Yet, against all expectations, the fire didn't die down but grew even fiercer.

"Ah, ah, Zhao Yuan, dammit, are you spraying water or oil?!" Wu Guang cursed angrily.

Lin Chen shook his head, "Sigh, that's not how you put out a fire, it should be done like this."

As his words fell, Lin Chen strode up to Wu Guang and kicked between his legs.

"Ah!" Wu Guang staggered and fell to the ground.

Almost a repeat of the scene just before, Lin Chen went up and kicked several more times, finally extinguishing the fire.

At this moment, Wu Guang was in terrible shape, his screams even more miserable than Wang Bin's.

Watching this, everyone twitched at the corners of their mouths, thinking this guy was simply a demon who burned and broke eggs.

Zhao Yuan's complexion suddenly changed at this moment. Wu Guang's strength was on par with his own, and he was a fire ability user, but he stood no chance against Lin Chen.

As a fire ability user like Wu Guang, his fire was completely ineffective against Lin Chen, but Lin Chen's fire could make Wu Guang scream miserably. Most importantly, his own water couldn't extinguish the fire released by his opponent, there was only one possibility, level suppression.

That meant Lin Chen's strength was far above his and Wu Guang's.

"Damn, we've encountered a master," he cursed.

Zhao Yuan's face changed and he ordered his people, "Attack together, take him down."

The more than a dozen Nascent Soul experts behind him surged forward at his command, pouncing towards Lin Chen.

Just then, Zhang Yu came over with a chuckle, smiled lightly, and said, "Lin Chen, have you had enough fun? Now it's my turn to play a bit."

As his voice fell, beneath the feet of the dozen or so Nascent Soul experts, an Eight Trigrams formation appeared out of nowhere.

The next instant, a Heaven Shattering Earth Splitting noise erupted from under their feet.

In less than a minute, those dozen Nascent Soul experts and Zhao Yuan were being pummeled by the Five Elements formation in the array, lying on the ground screaming continuously.

At this time, the valley was silent. Who were these people, so strong that they made crushing these so-called prominent families seem as simple as abusing cats and dogs?

"Now this is pathetic, trying to rob people on the road," Zhang Yu said sullenly, apparently not very satisfied with the fun.

Five people entered the jungle under the shocked gazes of the onlookers.

"Are we still going?" Looking at the wide-open path, those standing at the entrance of the mountain stopped in their tracks.

"Forget it, these guys are simply too demonic. Even if we enter the ruins, we're just going to get beaten up."

"Yeah, it's better to go back and soak in the hot springs; risking our lives here is just not worth it."

While some brave souls still followed Lin Chen and his group into the primal forest, many onlookers chose not to wade into these troubled waters.

At another mountain entrance, the entire valley reeked of the smell of blood.

Jia Xiangkai approached with respect, reporting to the eighth prince, "Your Highness, we have cleared all those pieces of trash who were blocking the way."

The eighth prince nodded, holding something like a compass in his hand, determined the direction, and said, "We will head due west."

At this moment, Lin Chen and his group hurriedly traversed the jungle, knowing that since the other party had already set up obstacles at the entrance, they had entered the primal forest earlier than them.

"We must get to the ruins before them, or if they find and destroy the ruins first, all our efforts will be wasted," Xie Wanling said gravely.

The goals of the various forces and their people were different. Lin Chen and his group were there to explore the secrets of the origin of superpowers, while the others were there for the treasure.

If they entered the ruins, they would definitely loot and vandalize. If the original state was destroyed, crucial clues could be lost.

As the five people moved on, they suddenly found seven or eight corpses lying on the ground.

The deceased all had extremely ugly expressions, their faces a ghastly shade of green.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and scoffed, "Be careful of poisonous gu."

Almost at the same time, accompanied by rustling sounds, countless green bugs crawled out of a tree hole and silently approached the group.
