Chapter 9: The Mortal Situation
The day of the duel finally came, and God was very face-saving, and it was still a sunny day.
There was still an hour before noon, and the martial arts arena was crowded. That scene seems to exceed the annual ethnic ratio.
"Look, Lin Chen, Lin Chen actually came over so early. ”
"Ha, dumbfounded, right? After betting fifty taels, Lin Chen would retreat or not come to the duel directly. ”
"What's so dumbfounded, it's coming, it's hard to guarantee that you won't back down!"
In full view of everyone, Lin Chen went straight to the ring. Behind them, Liang Cong and Lin Hua carried a bench and a chair, following suit. Along the way, although pointing and pointing constantly, as long as they approached, they all subconsciously gave way to a passage.
"Oh, Ah Chen, why did you come here so early?" Only halfway through, Lin Hui and a group of his subordinates came out of the crowd, and after more than ten meters away, he opened his arms.
"Good brother, I heard that you spent a lot of money to cheer me up. Lin Chen stepped forward with a smile.
The two hugged each other.
"Hurry up, I smell of poisonous powder, you will definitely die if you participate in a duel. Just as the two patted each other on the back, Lin Hui suddenly spoke quickly and quietly, and then laughed loudly again: "Good brother, I wish you a victory, and kill that Lin Yi without leaving a piece of armor." ”
Lin Chen was surprised, he didn't expect that Lin Hui would actually speak out as a warning.
Although he didn't dare to expose it in front of the public, he was able to speak out and warn, with Lin Hui's character, it was already commendable.
This...... It doesn't meet the standards of friends who drink and meat!
"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it. After Lin Chen whispered back, he laughed and said, "That's for sure, you just take a good look at how I slowly torture him to death!"
Lin Hui wanted to say something more, but Lin Chen had already pushed him away.
patted Lin Hui on the shoulder, Lin Chen said arrogantly: "I'll wrap up the welcome building at night, let's celebrate!"
The corners of Lin Hui's mouth twitched slightly, and with his mind, he couldn't understand whether Lin Chen was really sure or arrogant.
Lin Chen...... It doesn't seem to be so smart that someone can even guess it in advance!
But whatever, he should be reminded, he is really going to die...... It's a big deal to burn more paper money every year. You can't let yourself expose the conspiracy of the Eight Elders in public, right?
If you really want to do this, when your grandfather dies and the three elders take over the position of patriarch, you won't die.
Swaggering to the ring, Lin Chen stood in the direction of the rostrum, and Lin Hua quickly put the chair behind his ass.
When Lin Chen sat down, Liang Cong put the bench in front of him again.
Put his legs on the bench, Liang Cong was responsible for beating his legs, and Lin Hua was responsible for pinching his back, so chic and comfortable that the surrounding clansmen were dumbfounded.
"Looking at him like this, why does it seem that it is us who are going to participate in the life-and-death fight, and he is here to see the excitement?"
"I don't know whether I live or die, I thought it was before, and no one dared to mess with him. ”
"Be arrogant! If it's a little later, you'll have to get your ass and pee, and you will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. ”
......
With the strength of Lin Chen's Yellow Rank Sevenfold Peak, he could naturally hear the endless sarcasm around him. But he was still the same, his eyes slightly closed, contented, quietly enjoying the 'calm' before the storm.
"Look, it's the five elders, and the five elders are here. ”
"My God, Lin Chen's face is too big, right? Even the Fifth Elder was attracted here, and he arrived half an hour early. ”
"It's not that Lin Chen has a big face, it should be Lin Yi's big face. With the talent that Lin Yi is showing now, he is already better than Lin Huiyao. If there are no accidents, he will definitely be regarded by the Elders as one of the candidates for the next patriarch. The five elders came over to cheer on it, and that was normal. ”
"If you're in the show, there's no need to come here so early. Coming so early is obviously a gesture of goodwill. As the fifth elder, there is no need to show favor to a candidate for the next patriarch. In my opinion, the five elders should want to take Lin Yi as an apprentice. ”
"It's a big possibility. ”
Lin Chen opened his eyes slightly, glanced towards the rostrum, and saw an old man who was over seventy years old but in good spirits had just taken a seat.
This person is none other than the Fifth Elder Lin Taiji.
As if sensing something, Lin Taiji suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Lin Chen in the center of the ring. Seeing that he was looking at himself and not moving, still enjoying the massage of Liang Cong and the others, he couldn't help frowning slightly, showing displeasure on his face.
In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh. The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and Lin Zhenyue's generation of heroic characters did not expect to be destroyed in the hands of a son.
However, it doesn't have much to do with me. As long as Lin Chen's life can be saved today, it can be regarded as worthy of Lin Zhenyue's help to him back then.
Lin Chen stared at Lin Taiji for a moment, then closed his eyes again.
"Look, Eighth Elder, Eighth Elder is also here. ”
Not long after, Lin Wusi strode onto the rostrum.
Lin Chen instantly opened his eyes and looked towards Lin Wusi.
After saying hello to Lin Taiji, Lin Wusi sat down next to him. eyes, never looked at the center of the ring, Lin Chen, who looked a little out of place.
Lin Chen stared at Lin Wusi unswervingly.
After a long time, Lin Wusi's gaze finally moved to Lin Chen, but his brows couldn't help frowning. He found that although Lin Chen's gaze had been on him, the focus of his gaze did not seem to be on him. At first glance, it seems a little absent-minded.
"Are you thinking about how to show off and demonstrate to me after killing Lin Yi?"
"It's a pity, you don't have this opportunity, the three major killing moves are gathered together, don't say it's you, your father Lin Zhenyue will definitely die when he comes. ”
"By the way, the duel is about to start, Liu Yizhen should have already come, right?"
"This bastard is unruly, and the news will be revealed, whether he uses it or not, he has to find a way to kill him afterwards. ”
Lin Wusi's gaze subconsciously glanced towards the southeast corner of the ring. After seeing a middle-aged man in a cyan robe standing over there with an ordinary face, he was relieved.
As long as he coughed, this middle-aged man who sneaked into the martial arts arena could become a big killer move for him.
The three major killing moves came out together, and even if Lin Chen had great ability, he would definitely die, and he believed that he could already start thinking about how to deal with Lin Zhenyue, who rushed back to the family in anger after getting the news.
Lin Zhenyue, who lost his mind, was not terrible, but if he wanted to get greater benefits from it, he had to sum it up.
"Lin Yi is here, and the duel is about to start. ”
Just as noon was approaching, an exclamation rang out. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that to the west of the ring, Lin Yi, dressed in a black suit, was striding over.
The resolute face, the indifferent look, and the outstanding demeanor make people unforgettable at a glance, and they can assert in their hearts that this son will become a great weapon in the future.
"This is the difference! Look at Lin Yi, and then look at Lin Chen, this duel doesn't need to be compared at all, the winner has already been decided. ”
"An extraordinary bearing, calm and steady. An arrogant and domineering, and he is still greedy for enjoyment when he dies. ”
"In these years, no matter how good my father is, it's useless, it's still up to me. On the other hand, no matter how capable he is, it is useless, and his son has to have the ability, otherwise God knows which day he will be pitted by his son. ”
In the midst of the discussion, Lin Yi jumped into the ring and stopped when he was still more than ten meters away from Lin Chen.
Lin Chen still sat leisurely in his chair, his gaze always staying in the direction of Lin Wusi, as if he had not noticed his existence.
This move immediately caused dissatisfaction among everyone.
It's so arrogant!
There is no one in sight!
Look at how arrogant and unsightly you will be later.
At this moment, almost everyone wanted the duel to start immediately. They didn't want to see Lin Yi kill Lin Chen, and the scene they desperately wanted to see was Lin Chen kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
"I don't understand, why are you looking for me to fight to the death?" Lin Yi suddenly spoke.
"The strength has increased greatly, and I have regained face. Lin Chen said lightly.
"This is indeed very similar to your previous personality, but after Jiang Yaohu's incident, I don't think you will be so stupid. ”
"What you think, that's your business. Lin Chen still didn't glance at Lin Yi.
"Anyway, Uncle Yang thank you for that. ”
"What?" Lin Chen was a little confused.
"On the day you calculated me on Jinyu Street, did you save an old man who was injured by a collision before?" Lin Yi explained: "Before I moved into the Lin family, Uncle Yang was my neighbor and took good care of me when I was a child. ”
Lin Chen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the first new function task of the WeChat system was inexplicably completed, it turned out that it was because of the old man who was injured.
82 points of luck, sure enough, it was not given in vain, this kind of good thing was actually encountered by himself.
"For Uncle Yang's sake, I shouldn't have killed you today. But ......" Lin Yi said expressionlessly: "You should understand, this matter is not for me." ”
On the rostrum, Lin Wusi's face sank, and Lin Yi's words were clearly informing Lin Chen that someone was framing him.
Although Lin Chen may not have thought of this, Lin Yi's attitude at least shows that he may not do his best.
"But...... What if you don't do your best? This is really not up to you, and the poison on your sword will kill you if you touch it. The poisonous powder on your clothes gives the smell of it a delusion. Unless you can reverse your sword moves to avoid him while he is delusional, he will surely die. ”
"Even if you don't even have the intention of hurting him, and you can twist the sword move at a critical time to prevent Lin Chen from being injured, the combination of Lin Hua and Lin Hui's poison can also make him poison his heart and suddenly die in the ring during the duel. ”
"Even if Lin Hua and Lin Hui's combined poison loses its effect, there is still Liu Yizhi's secret weapon. Unguarded, not to mention that Lin Chen is impossible to avoid, even I may not be completely sure that I will be able to escape. At that time, he will also be able to die in the ring during the duel. It can be said that Lin Chen is already a dead man, but the latter two methods are too obvious, and it is easy to make people suspicious, and they will have a bad impact on my reputation in the future. ”
"So, don't let me down. Killing Lin Chen depends on you. You are a smart person, you should understand that if you kill Lin Chen, you have to face Lin Zhenyue's revenge. If you don't kill Lin Chen, you will also have to bear my wrath. The former still has a few months to buffer, and it may not be impossible to find a solution by then. My anger will explode in a day or two. ”
Soon, Lin Wusi's expression returned to calm.
As long as Lin Chen or Lin Yi don't cancel the duel before the battle, everything is still under control.
"Liang Cong, don't beat it. ”
Just when Lin Wusi and Lin Yi were thinking about each other, Lin Chen suddenly moved his gaze from Lin Wusi to Liang Cong, who was beating his legs.
"Young Master!"
Liang Cong hurriedly laughed and got up.
"Do as I told you yesterday!" Lin Chen said.
Liang Cong nodded heavily, got up and immediately trotted out of the ring.
This scene suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Young Master, why is Liang Cong going?" behind him, Lin Hua asked in a low voice.
"Last night I found some silver tickets in my father's study and asked him to place bets. Lin Chen said indifferently.
Lin Hua stopped talking, and his eyes drifted to Lin Wusi.
Lin Wusi didn't look at Lin Hua, but stared at Liang Cong who was walking towards the crowd, and saw that he had found three or four in a row, all of whom were the dealers of this duel gambling game, and his slightly suspended heart fell again.
If you think about it carefully, you think it's funny.
This is unfounded, no matter what small actions Lin Chen makes behind his back, the three major killing moves are gathered, unless one of the two sides of the duel suddenly withdraws from the duel, there is no way out.
