NOVEL NEXT Chapter 71: Chapter 71
**[MSBISS] Chapter 71**
"Second Senior Brother, this..." Gong Ding looked miserable.
Xiao Ye couldn't bear it.
Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "Do it." His attitude was firm, and his tone left no room for doubt.
Gong Ding's face showed bitterness as he felt extreme regret. If he had known better, he would not have provoked the evil star in front of him. He never dreamed that the man who called himself Zhang Zheng could be so terrifying. Xin An and his other brothers, who were in the late stages of Foundation Building, were slaughtered like chickens by Lu Chen. Although it was convenient for a sneak attack, it still proved to be terrifying.
At the same time, Gong Ding hated Xin An in his heart. If it weren't for Xin An, he would never have provoked Lu Chen.
Faced with Lu Chen's tough and unquestionable attitude, Xiao Ye could only raise her long sword. However, one could still see the unbearable feeling in her heart as the sword in her hand trembled. At first, she wanted to kill Gong Ding. Now that Gong Ding had lost his fighting ability and looked miserable, she could not bring herself to do it.
Lu Chen did not urge her. Instead, he asked Gong Ding, "If the two of us fall into your hands, what will you do to us?"
Gong Ding was silent, but a trace of hatred gleamed in his eyes. It was easy to imagine that if Lu Chen and Xiao Ye fell into Gong Ding's hands, they would definitely not end well.
Lu Chen also noticed the hatred in Gong Ding's eyes and said lightly, "I might as well take a guess. This girl is pretty, and her talent is quite good. She might be used as a cauldron by you. The Yuan Yin in her body would be absorbed by you to increase your cultivation. In the end, she would become a human mummy, and she would die."
When Xiao Ye heard this, she shuddered at that possibility. The murder in her eyes grew as she looked at Gong Ding, losing some of the pity she had felt for him.
Gong Ding remained silent. Lu Chen continued, "As for me, you hate me deeply in your heart. You would skin me and pull my flesh off. You would kill me alive."
When Gong Ding heard this, his expression turned ferocious. He stared at Lu Chen with fury. "I will pull out your soul and turn it into an oil lamp. It will burn for ten thousand years, and you will wail for ten thousand years."
Gong Ding knew that Lu Chen would not let him go, and at this moment, he did not beg for mercy. Instead, he vented the hatred in his heart fiercely: "If you fall into my hands, I will make you unable to survive forever; you will suffer for eternity."
"Go to hell!" Xiao Ye's loud shout interrupted Gong Ding's words. His vicious thoughts about treating her Second Senior Brother like this were tantamount to seeking death.
Xiao Ye's murderous intentions surged in her heart. With a swift motion, the long sword in her hand swung out and split Gong Ding in half.
Gong Ding's expression froze as he finally fell down slowly. Lu Chen acted quickly, grabbing Gong Ding's body and catching a white soul. The white soul vaguely resembled Gong Ding, showing panic with its mouth open as it pleaded with Lu Chen for mercy.
Lu Chen's expression was cold, showing no emotion as he refused to show compassion. With a forceful grip, Gong Ding's soul let out a shrill scream and then dissipated into the air.
Xiao Ye looked at Lu Chen with an indescribable expression on her face. This was the first time she had seen a side of her Second Senior Brother like this—cold and ruthless. Even the souls of the dead were not spared. This was completely different from the Second Senior Brother she knew before, which filled her with deep awe of Lu Chen.
"Second Senior Brother!" Xiao Ye called out timidly. When Lu Chen heard this, the coldness on his face faded and he replied lazily, "What?"
Hearing this familiar tone, Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Her Second Senior Brother was still as cute as ever.
"Second Senior Brother, you scared me to death just now."
Lu Chen smirked, "Rookie, you're such a rookie. First time killing someone?"
Xiao Ye nodded. She had been the young lady of the Xiao family and had never killed a chicken, let alone a murderer.
Lu Chen pointed at Gong Ding's body and said, "Look, you killed him. Isn't it disgusting?"
Gong Ding was now split in half, and his flesh and blood were blurred. Xiao Ye was startled and immediately felt her stomach churn, waves of nausea washing over her.
"Vomit!" Xiao Ye retched.
Lu Chen stood silently beside her, watching. Just as he had forced Xiao Ye before, he had the same intention when he had pushed her to kill Gong Ding. When you come out to navigate this world, don't think about remaining a simple little white rabbit. The world of cultivators is governed by the principle of the weak and the strong. If you're not cruel, you can't survive in this world.
Just because Lu Chen was an otaku at home, it didn't mean he was a harmless little white rabbit. After vomiting for a while, Xiao Ye finally felt a bit better. This was her first time killing someone, and after she expelled her distress, she felt somewhat relieved.
"Are you done vomiting?" Lu Chen asked calmly.
Xiao Ye wiped her mouth and nodded. Lu Chen held no doubt about her condition, and Xiao Ye said nothing further. She understood that Lu Chen was good to her.
"Take a rest and tend to your injuries," Lu Chen instructed as he began to clean up the scene. He had followed Gong Ding here with the intention of killing and silencing any potential witnesses. He didn't want to leave any loose ends that could cause trouble for him.
Lu Chen disposed of the bodies of the dead Dianxing disciples and the Red Flame Scaled Leopard. Then he found the inner elixir of the Red Flame Scale Leopard.
Seeing that it was only as big as a finger, Lu Chen felt a pang of distress that made him want to cry. "Damn guy! He used my magic talisman and reduced my inner elixir to this. It's infuriating!"
"My heart hurts so much." Lu Chen held the inner elixir, looking skyward at a 90-degree angle, his sadness like a cloud overshadowing him.
But! Fortunately, this little inner elixir was the last essence of the Red Flame Scale Leopard, so it was still worth some money.
Suddenly, Lu Chen felt a light touch on his hand. Looking down, he saw that the inner elixir of the Red Flame Scale Leopard had disappeared.
Turning around, he found Xiao Hong holding it in his beak, watching Lu Chen with wide eyes. The gradually burning gaze made Xiao Hong feel as though all the feathers on its body were retracting.
"But if you think I'm just going to hand over my inner elixir, you're mistaken." It raised its head in panic and hurriedly swallowed the inner elixir. Then, flapping its wings, it flew to Xiao Ye's head, stuffing its head into her hair.
"Silly bird!" Lu Chen roared. "Give me the inner elixir!" His anger burned like fire, scorching the entire sky.
