Chapter 407 - 405: The Destruction of a Family

"JinLing, is that you?"

Lin Yuan seemed to recognize JinLing, and tears streamed down his face.

"It’s me, your JinLing."

During a past mission, the Lin Family had helped JinLing and the others.

The Lin Family had even provided them with the courtyard where they lived in Guyue City.

Seeing a member of the Lin Family now, especially Lin Yuan—she had gotten along very well with him during their time there.

Now, seeing Lin Yuan captured, JinLing grew anxious.

"Let Lin Yuan go."

She glared furiously at the men in black.

The two men in black who were leading the group sneered.

"You’re simply courting death."

"A few insignificant runts dare to shout at us."

"You’re asking for it."

The men in black were instantly enraged.

With a wave of a hand, they charged toward Jiang Chen and his companions.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan panicked.

He said anxiously, "JinLing, run!"

"Don’t worry about me! You can’t beat them!"

Although Lin Yuan was young, he still understood how things worked.

He knew that JinLing’s group was no match for the men in black.

However, the men in black had no intention of letting Jiang Chen and the others leave.

They quickly surrounded them.

"Trying to escape? Impossible."

"Since you want to die, we’ll send you on your way."

The men in black were utterly dismissive of Jiang Chen’s group.

Even though they could see that Jiang Chen had the highest Cultivation among them, at the Sixth Level of Martial Master.

But they had two experts at the Martial Master Seventh Heaven.

"I’ll take this kid."

One of the men in black at the Martial Master Seventh Heaven level bared his teeth at Jiang Chen in a grin.

After all, Jiang Chen had the highest Cultivation of the five. As for the others, they didn’t even register.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Chen’s expression was calm, seemingly unfazed by the fact that his opponent was at the Martial Master Seventh Heaven.

"Then die!"

The man in black lunged forward instantly.

A Cultivation at the Martial Master Seventh Heaven was extremely formidable.

In the man’s eyes, Jiang Chen was no match for him at all.

So, he didn’t take him seriously.

He slashed viciously at Jiang Chen with his blade.

SWISH!

Even though it was a casual slash, it carried a world-shaking Blade Aura.

As the Blade Aura descended, Jiang Chen neither dodged nor retreated.

He swung his Cloud Mist Sword.

It was also a casual swing, but it erupted with an astonishing Sword Intent.

It was true Sword Intent.

The moment the Sword Intent appeared, the surroundings were filled with an endless sword light.

Its power was unparalleled.

BOOM!

The Blade Aura and Sword Aura clashed instantly.

A violent roar echoed out.

The powerful shockwave made space itself tremble.

Jiang Chen took a single step back.

He immediately steadied himself.

The man in black, in contrast, was forced back seven or eight steps before he could regain his balance.

At the same time, his face had turned slightly pale.

It was clear that Jiang Chen had held the advantage in that exchange.

’This... this is impossible!’

The man in black cried out in alarm.

He couldn’t believe that with his Cultivation at the Martial Master Seventh Heaven, he was no match for Jiang Chen, who was only at the Sixth Level of Martial Master.

It wasn’t just that he was no match; he had been utterly crushed by Jiang Chen.

His eyes widened, unable to accept this reality.

Even the other man in black at the Martial Master Seventh Heaven, who hadn’t attacked, saw his expression change slightly.

’How can a Sixth Level of Martial Master be so powerful?’

He couldn’t understand it.

The man who had been repelled by Jiang Chen flew into a rage out of shame and anger.

He roared, "I’ll kill you!"

He was furious, completely enraged.

Defeated by a brat with a weaker Cultivation, his heart filled with indignant fury.

"Bring it on!"

Jiang Chen shouted lightly, his Cloud Mist Sword once again gathering Sword Intent.

Shadowless Sword, Second Form—Sword Intent Startled Swan.

A stunning Sword Aura, twenty to thirty meters long, materialized in mid-air.

Jiang Chen roared, "Slash!"

He showed no mercy, sweeping the Cloud Mist Sword toward the man in black.

When the man in black saw Jiang Chen’s astonishing Sword Aura, his expression changed drastically.

His heart sank.

’Not good!’

’This is Sword Intent... such terrifying Sword Intent!’

He scrambled to dodge.

But Jiang Chen’s Sword Aura was incredibly fast.

SWISH!

The Sword Aura blotted out the sky as it swept forward.

Wherever the Sword Aura passed, space vibrated ceaselessly.

Horrified, the man in black was too slow to dodge.

SPLAT!

The next moment, Jiang Chen’s Sword Aura swept over him, instantly slicing his body in two.

The other man in black tried to intervene, but it was too late.

"No—!"

He let out an enraged shriek.

However, he didn’t dare face Jiang Chen’s sword.

That attack had been simply too terrifying.

Forget him, a Martial Master at the Seventh Heaven; even someone with a Martial King Cultivation could have been injured by Jiang Chen’s strike.

The power was too immense, simply peerless.

After slaying one of the two strongest men in black, Jiang Chen’s Sword Aura swept out in other directions.

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

In an instant, it cut down all the men in black surrounding Zhan Yang and the others, who had been in peril.

He had practically swept the field clean all by himself.

Seeing this, the remaining men in black shrieked in terror.

Jiang Chen had killed more than ten of them with a single sword strike.

The rest were terrified.

The surviving Martial Master at the Seventh Heaven, seeing how powerful Jiang Chen was, didn’t dare to stay a moment longer.

"Let’s go!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, he took the remaining men in black and fled.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, Zhan Yang and the others were clearly injured.

"Jiang Chen, thank you."

They realized that Jiang Chen saved them every time.

They could only be grateful to him.

Waving his hand, Jiang Chen said, "Enough. Don’t say any more. There might be more trouble on the road ahead."

Zhan Yang and the others didn’t stand on ceremony.

The group now gathered around Lin Yuan and Lev.

Everyone else from the Lin Family was dead. Only Lin Yuan and the half-dead Lev remained.

"Thank you."

Lev looked at Jiang Chen and the others, especially Jiang Chen, and thanked them repeatedly.

But after saying just one sentence, he began to cough violently.

"Grandpa Lev..."

Lin Yuan immediately looked at Lev with concern.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before taking out a Golden Healing Pill. Before Lev could get a clear look, Jiang Chen pushed it into his mouth.

Lev was stunned.

"A Golden Healing Pill... you gave me a Golden Healing Pill?"

Lev knew very well that the Golden Healing Pill was a Holy Medicine for recovery, an Elixir with the best healing effects.

Even the most grievous injuries could be healed with a Golden Healing Pill.

Moreover, the one Jiang Chen had given him was a Gold Quality Golden Healing Pill, which was incredibly valuable.

"Don’t say anything. Just focus on recovering."

Jiang Chen and the others immediately moved Lev and Lin Yuan to the side.

With the Golden Healing Pill from Jiang Chen, Lev’s injuries stabilized, and he began to recover.

He looked at Jiang Chen with extreme gratitude.

He said to Lin Yuan, "Young Master, quickly thank this big brother."

"Big brother, thank you for saving me and my Grandpa Lev."

Lin Yuan immediately said obediently.

Jiang Chen didn’t think much of it.

To him, using an Elixir to save someone was a small effort.

JinLing comforted Lin Yuan.

Zhan Yang and the others began questioning Lev.

"Lev, what happened to the Lin Family?"

"Why were you being hunted?"
