Watching his underling being kicked over by Lin Chen, Bai Shan's face turned uglier and uglier.

"You trash, get up!" Bai Shan cursed at his henchmen.

More than a dozen men stood like punching bags, getting kicked around, utterly shaming the Bai family.

However, after taking a kick from Lin Chen, nearly all these men had several ribs broken and had no strength left to fight on.

At this moment, their faces all showed expressions of shock.

Just as they had surrounded Lin Chen, the soul-wrenching pain was too unbearable, and even without injuries, they weren't willing to try again.

Bai Shan called out for a while, but the pained expressions on the henchmen's faces grew more and more miserable, feeling more like fatal wounds than broken ribs.

At that moment, Bai Shan suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, seeing Lin Chen slowly walking towards him.

"What did you just say? You want to play with my woman?" Lin Chen stared at Bai Shan with icy eyes.

At this moment, Bai Shan snorted coldly and sweated profusely, knowing he couldn't count on his men anymore. Besides womanizing and bar-hopping every day, he had squandered countless treasures, and his strength was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul.

More than a dozen Innate Realm experts had been thoroughly thrashed by Lin Chen; he was nothing but trash in front of Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, was there just a misunderstanding?" Bai Shan took two steps back and asked in horror.

"A misunderstanding? But I took it seriously. The Bai family is so 'impressive,' what would I do if you touched my girlfriend again in the future?" Lin Chen's face showed a trace of hesitation.

"It won't happen, I wouldn't dare," Bai Shan's face turned deathly pale.

"Wouldn't dare? Can I believe your words? There's only one way for me to be reassured," Lin Chen's gaze fixed intently between Bai Shan's legs.

Feeling Lin Chen's icy stare, Bai Shan shivered, "What-what are you going to do?"

"Ah, your Bai family is just too strong. I can only be at ease if I render you useless!" A cold look flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

"No, don't! I'm a member of the Bai family. If you render me useless, the Bai family won't let you off," Bai Shan's voice trembled as he kept backing away.

"The Bai family? I slay Xu family members as if they are pigs and dogs, what are Bai family members to me?" Lin Chen said coldly.

"What?" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Bai Shan's face turned ashen, and he turned to run.

This guy didn't even spare the Xu family; he was simply a madman.

However, after just two steps, he felt a heart-wrenching pain between his legs.

A stone the size of an egg struck him directly between the legs like a missile.

Bai Shan clutched his stomach and squatted on the ground in agony as sweat instantly streamed down his cheeks.

A wave of excruciating pain swept through his entire body, and he got a foreboding feeling – his 'eggs' were smashed.

My eggs, my eggs! Bai Shan collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.

Watching Bai Shan on the ground, the corners of his men's mouths twitched.

Damn, this kid is a maniac, killing Xu family members like butchering pigs and dogs, and rendering the Bai family's young master useless just like that. Doesn't he worry at all about retaliation from the eight great forces?

Zhang Yu helplessly shook his head; Lin Chen was truly fearless of both heaven and earth, but it was exactly this trait that attracted him.

Xu Ye watched Lin Chen, deep in thought, no wonder the master said Lin Chen could defy heaven, his fearless nature was truly defying.

Lin Chen slowly walked over to Bai Shan, squatted down, and said, "Kid, stay away from Wan Ling. This time I just destroyed your lifeline, but next time the price will be your life."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Bai Shan shook all over.

"I know, I know, I won't dare to do it again," he said.

Lin Chen patted Bai Shan's pale cheek and said, "Get lost, I hope I never see you again."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Bai Shan, as if pardoned, awkwardly left with the support of several underlings.

After walking a few hundred meters, Bai Shan stopped, looking down at the bonfires in the valley with a vicious expression on his face.

"Bastard, daring to smash my 'egg,' I'll grind your bones to dust and take revenge for today's arrow sooner or later," he seethed.

With Bai Shan's group gone, Lin Chen noticed Xie Wanling's face was still cloudy.

Zhang Yu and the others gave Lin Chen a meaningful glance before returning to their respective tents.

Lin Chen approached Xie Wanling awkwardly and said, "Director Xie, it's our duty as subordinates to relieve the leader of worries and troubles, you don't need to praise me."

"Praise? Lin Chen, explain to me, when did you ever hold my hand, kiss my lips, or sleep with me?" said Xie Wanling with an ugly expression.

What Lin Chen had said was casual, but it had inadvertently put Xie Wanling in an awkward position.

By tomorrow, no doubt Bai Shan would exaggerate today's events and spread them around.

That damned Lin Chen, he's really gotten her into trouble.

Xie Wanling stared intently at Lin Chen, waiting for him to provide a reasonable explanation.

Lin Chen looked aggrieved and said, "Director Xie, I could see that Bai guy was no good, and I said that just to make him give up. Did I cause you any trouble?"

"Hmph, Bai Shan is no good, but I don't see you being much better. This time you've really done me in, and you've caused me big trouble," Xie Wanling said furiously.

Although angry, after all, Lin Chen had already spoken out, and it was too late to take it back now. Besides, Lin Chen indeed got rid of an annoying pest for her.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll definitely send you to Africa," she threatened.

Xie Wanling snorted coldly and turned towards her tent.

With the first rays of the sunrise piercing the jungle, Lin Chen and his four companions were already geared up and ready to head for the ruins.

By now, the area around the ruins was crowded with people, yet no one dared to move a step closer.

Lin Chen looked towards the ruins and saw that there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the way there.

"What happened here?" Lin Chen asked, pulling a Martial Artist aside.

The Martial Artist sighed and said, "Alas, those people all died on the way to the ruins. This path is riddled with traps, and if you step on one, death is certain."

So that was it. Using his Heavenly Eye, Lin Chen quickly noticed something unusual about this path. It was saturated with formations, and if anyone stepped on the wrong spot and triggered a formation, they would surely die.

Such a powerful formation! Lin Chen couldn't hide his shock as he observed the mysterious formations on the path.

Xu Ye, with a wary expression, said, "This is the most mysterious formation I've ever seen, breaking through it seems incredibly difficult."

Zhang Yu nodded and added, "This formation has similarities to our Zhang family's Eight Trigrams Array, but it feels different in some way."

"What do you think, Brother Lin?" Zhang Yu asked.

Lin Chen nodded and replied, "This formation is very sophisticated, and it contains the arts of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. Whoever set up this formation must be a very powerful Array Master."

Just then, another young man rushed into the formation, but within less than fifty meters, he was pierced by arrows flying from all sides, turning into a porcupine, and fell into a pool of blood.

Bai Fu, the elder of the Bai family, cursed with a frown, "Damn, what kind of formation is this? Even with so many powerful fighters from the eight great forces, we haven't been able to break through this formation."

Right at that moment, Bai Shan whispered a few sentences to Bai Fu's ear.

Hearing Bai Shan's words, Bai Fu's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and a thick intent to kill flashed in his eyes.
