Chapter 149

He was originally an ordinary person, but his momentary loss of self-control caused his eyes to sparkle. His eyes were as bright as Xing Chen's, which did not match his ordinary appearance at all.

Zi Chen lost his composure because he saw familiar faces, and he saw quite a few of them.

First, he saw Ling Yun, Chen Feng, and Wu Hong. He recognized all three of them, and his expression changed slightly. Seeing Ling Yun was within his expectations, but seeing Chen Feng was unexpected.

Zi Chen's gaze shifted and he saw a young man with small eyes. That young man's appearance was truly ordinary, but when Zi Chen saw him, he was shocked and his expression changed.

"Miao Kong!"

He actually saw Miao Kong, one of his few friends in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. He could be said to be a brother.

Zi Chen's expression changed, but following that, his gaze swept again, and his body suddenly froze. It was as if he had been electrocuted. He saw a girl.

She was wearing green clothes, gentle and moving. Her beautiful face had a trace of youthfulness, like a green lotus, and had a different temperament.

This girl was about ten years old, and was very cute. At this moment, her small mouth was open, and she looked at Zi Chen with surprise. Especially after seeing Zi Chen's shocked expression and the light in his eyes, she almost lost her self-control and stood up.

"Lin Xue!"

Zi Chen was as if he had been electrocuted, and could not say a word. After seeing Miao Kong, he saw Lin Xue again. If it was not for his strong self-control, Zi Chen would have already rushed over.

Seeing Lin Xue, Zi Chen was very excited. He never would have thought that she was still alive. Following that, his gaze subconsciously swept over, and Zi Chen saw a familiar face.

It was a familiar and beautiful face. Her face was perfect, like a piece of jade, exquisitely carved. Beautiful big eyes, as gentle as water, a fine nose, and cherry lips. Nothing could be imagined.

Seeing Zi Chen come up, she had already stood up. She was wearing white clothes, and there was not a speck of dust on them. Her neck was elegant, and her twin peaks were proud. Her waist was slender, and flawless.

"Su Mengyao!"

Zi Chen exclaimed in his heart, and the light in his eyes became even brighter. The Great Elder had entrusted him with the task of taking good care of Su Mengyao. However, when the Nimbus Martial Ancestor met with a calamity, Zi Chen did not manage to find a single person. Instead, he only found a few corpses. After that, he was constantly chased and forced to flee.

All this time, Zi Chen had thought that they were dead, and he was heartbroken. But he never thought that he would see them here. The two of them were still alive, and they were doing well.

As soon as he appeared, Zi Chen's expression changed several times, and he almost lost his composure. However, because he had just arrived, no one paid attention to him. They all thought that it was unexpected for him to see so many people. Of course, geniuses like Li Huo also thought that Zi Chen had lost his composure after seeing someone like him.

"I didn't expect a genius to appear. Looks like we didn't come out empty-handed this time."

Cang He stood up. His face was like jade, and he was wearing a white robe. His expression was only a little surprised, but he did not pay attention to the many changes in Zi Chen's expression. He was the first to stand up and speak.

"Not bad!" Wu Xiong glanced at Zi Chen and said lightly.

After that, the other geniuses also nodded, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"Sit down."

Miao Kong pointed to the seat next to him and said. His eyes were fixed on Zi Chen. Just a moment ago, he felt that the young man in front of him gave him a sense of familiarity.

Looking at the front, Su Mengyao and Lin Xue also had the same feeling.

Zi Chen was about to sit down, but at this moment, a cry of surprise sounded. "Early-stage Xiantian Realm, you are actually at the Early-stage Xiantian Realm."

The one who exclaimed was an unfamiliar genius with the strength of Xiantian Full Circle. After he felt the aura around Zi Chen's body, his expression changed instantly.

"What, Early-stage Xiantian Realm, how is this possible?"

"An Early-stage Xiantian Realm cultivator can reach the sixth level?"

The other geniuses' expressions also changed several times, and they felt that it was inconceivable.

"To be able to reach here at the Early-stage Xiantian Realm, could his battle strength be so strong?"

Everyone's expression was a little unnatural. This kind of existence could be said to be a genius among geniuses.

At this moment, a black-clothed man walked up from below. This was a True Energy Boundary existence, and one of the two people who were guarding the stairs.

He walked in front of Li Huo and whispered a few words. Then, he glanced at Zi Chen with a complicated expression and left.

"Haha, I thought he was a genius. Turns out he relied on speed to come up here."

The room was only so big, and everyone was a cultivator. Naturally, they could hear the whispers of the True Energy Boundary existence. Ling Yun was the first to sneer.

"That's right, we want a true genius with strong battle strength, and not someone who relied on speed and luck to come up here." Chen Feng also said coldly.

Wu Xiong and the others also frowned.

"Small path?

Fast enough to protect yourself. No matter how dangerous the place is, there is a chance of survival. "

Miao Kong said with dissatisfaction. He didn't know why, but when he saw this stranger, he felt a sense of familiarity. At this moment, he stood up to speak.

"But we're going to the ruins. What we need is battle strength, not escape methods." Ling Yun said.

"That's right, what we need is battle strength and powerful allies, not people who abandon their companions to escape at a critical moment." Chen Feng also said.

"We don't need such people." Ling Fei was aggressive.

The others frowned, seemingly thinking.

Zi Chen was silent, and just looked at these people quietly.

"Speed is also a kind of strength. There are some dangerous places that can only be smoothly passed by relying on speed." Su Mengyao stood up and said softly.

"So what if he's fast? That's his ability." Lin Xue also said.

"Shut up."

Ling Yun suddenly shouted at the two. "This is a place for geniuses to speak. What qualifications do you two have to speak? If it wasn't for Young Master Cang He, do you think you have the qualifications to stand here?"

"You!"

Su Mengyao and Lin Xue were so angry that their faces turned ashen, but they didn't refute. Their strength had just entered the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, and their battle strength wasn't strong among the crowd.

"What, am I wrong? You remnants of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor are already very good that you haven't been killed. You still dare to be arrogant here. If it wasn't for Young Master Cang He, do you think you have the qualifications to go to the ruins?" Ling Yun said coldly, without any trace of politeness.

"That's enough. Ling Yun, you should be more polite." Miao Kong reprimanded.

"Both of you speak less." Cang He said indifferently, somewhat displeased.

"Hmph!"

Ling Yun snorted coldly and sat down. With Wu Xiong backing him, he wasn't afraid. This time, he had spoken because he knew about the conflict between the Martial Ancestor and the two. He wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Wu Xiong.

"Speed is after all a small Dao, and it's useless. I don't recommend him to go with us." Ling Yun said again.

"Me too. I'm afraid he'll run away alone when he encounters danger." Chen Feng also said coldly.

"Forget it. Let him go with the others."

"We don't need such a genius."

Li Huo and Wu Xiong were also extremely cold.

"I think it's feasible. Speed is sometimes an advantage."

Only Miao Kong still supported Zi Chen.

"I don't think so. He has to contribute to us, not just to take advantage of us." Another Xiantian Full Circle also shook his head.

As for Su Mengyao and Lin Xue, they didn't have the qualifications to speak.

Zi Chen was angry. It wasn't because of their attitude towards him. After all, he hadn't shown his strength and could be looked down upon. However, Zi Chen couldn't tolerate Ling Yun yelling at Su Mengyao and Lin Xue.

"What is considered combat strength?" A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes as he asked coldly.

"Tsk, what kind of combat strength does an early Xiantian like you have? I can kill you with a finger. You're dreaming if you want to go with us into the ruins." Ling Yun sneered.

"Is an early Xiantian qualified to talk about combat strength? Can't you see that the two mid-stage Xiantian are not qualified to talk?"

Chen Feng also ridiculed. He used to like Su Mengyao very much and had some thoughts about Lin Xue. However, everything was for the sake of benefits. Since the destruction of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, he had given up on this idea. Although he still didn't give up, it was more of a selfish desire.

The others didn't speak, but they didn't think highly of Zi Chen.

"Oh!"

Zi Chen nodded. He wasn't angry at all. He said casually, "So the meaning of combat strength is to compete with one's mouth."

"Whose mouth is poisonous? Speaking like you're asking for a beating is what combat strength looks like. I've learned something." Zi Chen sneered.

Zi Chen's words attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at Zi Chen strangely. They didn't understand where his confidence came from. He actually dared to insult the two of them.

"What did you say?" Ling Yun slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Zi Chen.

"Little thing, if you say it again, do you believe that I won't slap you to death with one hand?" Chen Feng said coldly.

"A despicable person is invincible. It seems like that's the case. With your despicable mouth, I can already see your combat strength?" Zi Chen looked at the two of them indifferently. However, his words were enough to infuriate the two of them.

"You want to die?"

"If you want to die, then say it. I won't use a second strike to deal with you."

There was already a murderous intent in the eyes of these two people. As for the others, they looked at Zi Chen as if they were watching a good show. As for Miao Kong and the others, they looked at Zi Chen with puzzlement. They didn't understand why this early Xiantian realm martial artist would be so confident.

"I'll say the same thing to you. I can kill the two of you with one finger. If you have the ability, then let's fight. What's the point of just talking?"

"Good, good!" Ling Yun was fuming with anger. His eyes flashed with killing intent. Chen Feng was the same.

"You don't have to be like this. If you have the ability, then do it. If one of you can't do it, then the two of you can do it together. Don't look at me with such murderous eyes. It makes you look even more incompetent." Zi Chen said viciously.

"Good boy, I'll deal with you." Ling Yun was furious.

"No, I'll deal with this shameless boastful guy." Chen Feng was also furious.

"Alright, stop squabbling. Both of you can come at me together."

Seeing the two of them quarreling, Zi Chen opened his mouth again. His mouth was vicious. Every word he said made the two of them tremble with anger. His arrogant appearance was even more arrogant than the two of them.

"Good boy, you're arrogant enough. Let me deal with you."

Ling Yun stopped quarreling. His figure flashed and he rushed towards Zi Chen. He wanted to prove himself with his actions.

"Go to hell!" His eyes were filled with killing intent. He rushed towards Zi Chen in an instant.

"I think you're the one who's going to die!"

Zi Chen's calm eyes became fierce in an instant. Boundless killing intent filled the air. His killing move appeared instantly.
