The Lin Family! Lin Jiuzhou!
"not good!"
The black-robed protector who had been standing behind Lin Jiuxiao changed his expression and instantly unleashed his cultivation as a seventh-grade Battle Emperor, attempting to stop him.
If Lin Jiuxiao dies, he will probably have to be buried with him!
Whoosh!
But just then, a broken knife suddenly appeared and was placed against his neck, making his hair stand on end and freezing him in place.
Old Chen, with his missing arm, appeared behind him at some point, his white eyes silently watching him.
Clearly, if he dared to move again, he would be beheaded on the spot in an instant.
Both are protectors of top-tier families, and both are seventh-rank battle emperors.
The difference between them is stark, clearly indicating who is superior.
They're not even in the same league.
"No!"
Seeing this, Lin Jiuxiao immediately showed a look of despair.
Ah Shan was a protector specially assigned to him by his family, and also the trump card that allowed him to be arrogant and domineering, and no one could mess with him.
But now, they have been subdued so easily.
Chen Beiyuan's fist was getting closer and closer to his head.
Lin Jiuxiao's facial muscles twitched violently, and his hair was blown backward by the strong wind.
Under the pressure of death, his groin instantly became wet and warm, and he lost control of his bladder on the spot.
Seeing Lin Jiuxiao trapped in a dead end, Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously wanted to stop him, but then suddenly remembered something.
"Wait, if Lin Jiuxiao is to die in Chen Beiyuan's hands, the Lin family will likely turn against the Chen family. Then I might be able to pull them out of the fire..."
"No, if Lin Jiuxiao dies, Chen Beiyuan might not necessarily be in trouble. After all, he's the young master of the Chen family. On the contrary, as the person directly involved, I'll definitely incur the wrath of the Lin family. In that case, I'll not only lose the Lin family as my biggest backer, but I'll also have to face suppression from Chen Beiyuan. Then, I'll truly be courting death..."
"Damn it, Chen Beiyuan seems to be trying to kill Lin Jiuxiao, but in reality, he's trying to sever my ties with the Lin family..."
The thought that he might be hunted down by the two top families sent chills down Lin Xiao's spine.
This trap wasn't just aimed at Lin Jiuxiao, it was also aimed at him...
Chen Beiyuan, what a deep and cunning mind you have!
But when he realized what was happening, his hand movements slowed down for a second.
It was just that one moment too slow that caused us to miss the best opportunity.
Just as Lin Jiuxiao was about to die, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the banquet hall.
He grabbed Lin Jiuxiao, who was frozen in place, and shielded him behind him.
He immediately threw a punch, aiming it at Chen Beiyuan.
The person who came gave him a chilling and unsettling sense of crisis.
Chen Beiyuan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Good timing!"
boom!
A terrifying impact collided instantly!
The entire banquet hall was instantly rippled by the aftershocks of pure power.
It was as if two terrifying monsters had collided head-on.
Huge cracks appeared in the ground.
Chen Beiyuan stood firm in place, unwavering, without taking a single step back.
The dark figure's expression suddenly changed, and he felt his fists tremble. He couldn't withstand the pressure of the collision and was knocked back several steps by Chen Beiyuan.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Several deep footprints appeared on the ground.
It was forcefully unloaded onto the ground using special methods.
When the dark figure stopped, its true face was instantly revealed to everyone.
That face bore a striking resemblance to Lin Jiuxiao's, but it was far more stern and composed.
In an instant, members of the Imperial Club recognized the newcomer.
"Lin Jiuzhou!"
"It's Lin Jiuzhou, the heir of the Donghua Lin family!"
"This person is already thirty-two years old. It is said that he broke through to the sixth-grade Battle King last year and is one of the strongest top monsters in the empire."
"Chen Beiyuan is only a fifth-rank Battle Commander, and has not yet undergone the refinement of being highly integrated with his own Battle Soul. Yet, in a pure contest of strength, he defeated Lin Jiuzhou and forced him back several steps. Just how terrifying must his physical body be?!"
"How terrifying! Could it be that the prophecy of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master is true, and that Chen Beiyuan will become a young king who surpasses all the younger generation in ten years?"
"....."
In an instant, the entire banquet hall erupted in gasps and disbelief.
All eyes were fixed on the standoff scene ahead.
"Damn it, is this guy a beast in human skin? In terms of physical strength alone, he's on par with that madman from the Zhu family. And he's only eighteen?!"
Lin Jiuzhou's face remained cold and stern, but a look of astonishment flashed deep in his eyes.
He never imagined that one day he would be outmatched by an eighteen-year-old kid in a contest of physical strength.
His gaze gradually became serious, no longer showing any contempt, clearly regarding Chen Beiyuan as someone on the same level.
Chen Beiyuan was also sizing up Lin Jiuzhou, who had suddenly appeared before him.
This top monster of the Donghua Empire is no ordinary person either.
It should be noted that his physical body, having undergone the bathing in dragon blood and the blessing of the [Dragon Blood Dao Fruit], has reached a level comparable to a sixth-grade divine weapon.
The opponent was able to block it head-on and then deflect it by using force reduction techniques.
Its physical strength is definitely not weak; it is at least comparable to a fifth-grade divine weapon.
The speed of the ghost that suddenly appeared far exceeded that of an ordinary sixth-rank battle king.
This person also possesses the legendary top-tier battle spirit: [Taotie].
It is said that once it manifests, it can devour all things in heaven and earth.
In the original novel, this prodigy from the Lin family had a remarkable feat of killing a seventh-rank Battle Emperor while being a sixth-rank Battle King, making him a terrifying existence capable of fighting beyond his level.
This person is ruthless, cold-blooded, and exceptionally intelligent, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
Unfortunately, he ultimately met a tragic end at the hands of his own younger brother and Lin Xiao.
Just as the two were facing off, Lin Jiuxiao, who had been terrified and wet himself, finally came to his senses.
Especially when he saw his older brother standing protectively in front of him, his pale face instantly turned ferocious and terrifying.
Clearly, the near-fatal attack by Chen Beiyuan had left him with considerable psychological trauma.
"Brother, kill him! Kill him! This little bastard actually tried to kill me! Kill him for me!"
"I want him to wish he were dead, wishing he were alive..."
Snap!
Lin Jiuzhou slapped him hard across the face, instantly swelling his cheek.
Lin Jiuxiao froze on the spot, staring at his older brother in disbelief.
"Shut up! This is none of your business!"
After Lin Jiuzhou finished his angry rebuke, he looked at Chen Beiyuan, a slight smile appearing on his cold face:
"I'm sorry, Bei Yuan. The Lin family has spoiled Jiu Xiao too much over the years, which has made him too arrogant and domineering. I apologize to you on his behalf."
