Chapter 2351: Chapter 2352: Extinction

Jin Ming kept repeating this sentence under his breath, his gaze sweeping the surroundings, then dimming again; he could clearly feel his life force constantly draining away along that wound on his body.

There was still fear left in his eyes, a terror of death itself; no matter how vicious a man might be, once he truly stands before death, it is impossible to remain indifferent.

And Jin Ming at this moment was exactly so.

Only two figures beside him were supporting him, yet they did not dare make any excessive movements; their heads were slightly lowered, as if they did not even possess the courage to lift their eyes and look at Lin Chen.

Yet clearly, Lin Chen did not seem to have any intention of letting these people go.

He drew back his sword; blood still clung to its surface, congealing into beads that dripped down from the blade.

Then he swung the sword again, and the sharp tip stabbed into the body of another Jin clan member at his side.

"You..."

That man’s eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe it; the Clan Leader was already dead, and with these death guards present at Lin Chen’s side, their chances of threatening Lin Chen were virtually zero.

Precisely because of this, knowing they were no match, they did not dare harbor the slightest thought of resistance, hoping only to preserve their own lives.

But Lin Chen was not so magnanimous. After assassinating one, his face remained cold; looking at that man’s stunned features, he said slowly, "If they hadn’t arrived, the ones to strike first just now would have been you. Do you think I would still leave you alive?"

Lin Chen had not forgotten what these people had said earlier. Only now, after Lin Chen had helpers, did they not dare attack, but in their hearts they had clearly been itching to make a move on him.

And naturally Lin Chen would never sit and watch while they harbored such thoughts.

"Fight him!"

Someone, upon hearing this, also understood that this matter would not end peacefully. From the moment they had brought Lin Chen here, the outcome was already set—one side would die here.

What they had not expected was that, with such a vast disparity in strength, they would end up with this kind of conclusion.

Lin Chen did not strike again. The death guards at his side, seemingly aware that Lin Chen’s strength had been quite greatly drained, took the initiative and moved first.

"This man is not to be provoked!"

Meanwhile, at some distance away, Jiang Liang watched Lin Chen’s utterly unconcerned expression. As the wails of agony on the field rose and broken limbs flew, Lin Chen’s face showed not the slightest ripple of emotion, only a calm indifference.

This scene was extremely terrifying. Jiang Liang swallowed his saliva; uncontrollably, he thought back to what had happened in front of the Jiang estate earlier.

If Lin Chen had been a little more decisive then...

Jiang Liang did not dare imagine the consequences.

His body retreated a few steps. Taking advantage of the fact that Lin Chen and the death guards’ attention were all fixed on those Jin clan members, he began to back away, not wanting to linger in this place a moment longer.

Even though right now Lin Chen did not pose any great threat, Jiang Liang no longer dared lay a hand on him.

As Jiang Liang slipped away, Lin Chen lifted his eyes and glanced into the distance. His gaze was indifferent, but once Jiang Liang left, his heart suddenly relaxed.

Not only Jiang Liang—Lin Chen himself did not wish to face Jiang Liang now.

Unlike Jin Ming, Jiang Liang’s foundations were somewhat more solid. Though still a bit unstable, he was more than just a little stronger than Jin Ming.

It was merely that, perhaps because they valued realm too highly, Jiang Liang had always felt himself inferior to Jin Ming.

But in truth, if they were to truly fight with their lives on the line, as for who would win or lose in the end, that was still unknown.

While Lin Chen’s thoughts wandered for that brief moment, the Jin clan members before him had, under the death guards’ hands, been reduced to a field of scattered remains.

They were, after all, nothing more than ordinary clan members, bullies who relied on their power. Faced with these Fang clan death guards who had crawled out from piles of corpses, they were utterly incapable of resisting.

The leader among them, once he had finished dealing with the Jin clan members, looked at Lin Chen, and there was clearly a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"To think you’re so young, yet your methods are this resolute."

The leading death guard gave Lin Chen a slight nod, praising him with genuine feeling.

All of them were men tempered through battle; naturally they understood that mercy toward an enemy was cruelty toward oneself.

What Lin Chen had done just now fit their own way of thinking perfectly.

"If you cut the grass, you naturally have to pull out the roots."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, and a dense, violent killing intent suddenly surged from his body. That aura made the Fang death guards before him involuntarily pause.

Because this killing intent seemed even stronger than his own!

"What on earth is this kid?"

The death guard’s pupils contracted. His expression, hardened by years of constancy, now showed a trace of shock. Lin Chen was so young, yet possessed such terrifying strength and killing intent; this truly left him astonished.

After the initial shock, he relaxed again, inwardly rejoicing that the Clan Leader had sharp eyes for talent. If someone like this were an enemy, the blow to the Fang clan would be enormous.

...

After exchanging a few brief words, Lin Chen and the others were not inclined to linger here. They headed back into Qingmu City, naturally preparing to return to the Fang clan.

After all, they had been out for quite some time; Fang Lin and the others were bound to be worried.

Sure enough, when they returned to the Fang clan, Fang Lin was pacing back and forth in the main hall. His brows were tightly knitted, as though he were pondering countermeasures.

Only when he saw Lin Chen return did his furrowed brows suddenly relax.

He strode forward at once, seized Lin Chen’s hand, and said anxiously, "Good that you’re back. Hurry and pack up, I’ll send you home!"

From that hand gripping his, Lin Chen felt a trace of warmth.

"No need. There won’t be any more trouble in the future."

Lin Chen’s whole body warmed as he spoke.

"Don’t tell me you’ve reached some sort of agreement with Jin Ming?"

Hearing Lin Chen say this, Fang Lin’s brow furrowed even deeper. He kept shaking his head and sighed, "Foolish! Jin Ming is an extremely difficult man to deal with. If you give him some benefits, I fear you won’t have a peaceful life later on... besides, his son..."

Sigh.

Fang Lin kept sighing. With Lin Chen saying such things now, he naturally formed a certain guess in his heart. Yet the hatred for a slain son is not something easily dissolved.

"It’s fine. Since he loved his son so much, I simply sent him down to join his son."

Lin Chen curled his lips slightly, a gentle smile on his face.

These words left Fang Lin stunned. He could never have imagined that Lin Chen had actually killed Jin Ming. Lin Chen might have the strength, but the vast gap in realm was also extremely evident.

Otherwise, he would not have sent several death guards to follow him.
