Chapter 2018 - 2019: Black Mountain Mercenary Corps Picks Up the Spoils
The Red-eyed King Kong has been beheaded!Not just Lin Chen, even Mu Tie and Fang Xiaolian, each of them felt a sense of astonishment.
Because Lin Chen really did it, he actually beheaded the Red-eyed King Kong.
You should know, the Red-eyed King Kong is already a fierce beast with the power of the Divine Fourth Stage. Forget Lin Chen, even the likes of Wu Yunqi from the Blood Refining Mercenary Group, Li Gang from the Black Mountain Mercenary Group, and Mu Tie from the Mu Tie Mercenary Group, couldn't dare to single-handedly confront the Red-eyed King Kong.
It was exactly for this reason that Lin Chen was so excited.
"Amazing! Lin Chen, it seems you've improved a lot!" Mu Tie praised.
"Oh, not really, Captain Mu, you're just teasing," Lin Chen coldly replied.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tie naturally felt Lin Chen was acting a bit strange.
Because Lin Chen had always called him "Uncle Tie," and now suddenly switched to this form of address, it naturally made Mu Tie feel a bit uneasy.
This kind of unease, if prolonged, might lead to a rift between them, making Mu Tie feel a bit anxious internally.
"Brother Lin Chen, are you... are you alright?" Fang Xiaolian had always been somewhat shy and didn't dare to directly express her thoughts to Lin Chen.
"I'm fine, since you're all okay too, I'll take my leave now, see you later." Lin Chen was about to leave but was stopped by Mu Tie.
"Lin Chen, don't rush to leave! You've killed a Divine Fourth Stage beast, you should retrieve its beast core. You know, a beast core of this level is a rare treasure in the mortal realm, even in the Divine World and Celestial World..." Mu Tie realized he was talking too much and stopped speaking.
Lin Chen thought, that's true.
So, Lin Chen didn't rush to leave but returned to the vicinity of the Red-eyed King Kong's corpse and directly used his Tianyan Ancient Sword to cut open the King Kong's head.
The head weighed nearly a thousand pounds and was hard as iron. Without the Tianyan Ancient Sword, a divine artifact that could cut through iron like mud, it would have been impossible to dissect the Red-eyed King Kong's head.
Inside the King Kong's head, there was another secondary brain, and inside that secondary brain, there was a golden beast core.
Seeing this beast core, Lin Chen himself was shocked.
"Whoa! It's way too shiny!" Lin Chen reached out to take it, but noticed a cold glint shooting over from afar, prompting him to take a few steps back.
At this moment, Qing Ling, Li Gang, and others from the Black Mountain Mercenary Group arrived near the Red-eyed King Kong's corpse.
"Qing Ling, you guys!" Lin Chen felt displeased.
He knew very well, perhaps his presence here had been guessed by the other party.
If the other party was also coveting the Red-eyed King Kong's beast core, perhaps with his current capability, he wouldn't be able to contend with them. The more he thought about these matters, the more displeased Lin Chen felt.
"Lin Chen, we... we aren't..." Qing Ling always wanted to explain some things but felt she was in the wrong and couldn't continue speaking.
"Lin Chen, who knew! That you could kill the Red-eyed King Kong all on your own, and an adult male Red-eyed King Kong with over a hundred years of life, no less. Impressive, impressive, truly remarkable!" Li Gang continued to praise.
"Li Gang, what exactly is your intention?" Lin Chen retorted.
"Nothing much, it's just that this precious King Kong beast core should be used by someone who can make the most of it, don't you think?" Li Gang sneered.
Although previously Lin Chen had had a good impression of Li Gang, now all those favorable impressions had vanished without a trace. The person standing in front of him now was the enemy!
"Li Gang, the beast core was found by Brother Lin Chen, you shouldn't interfere!" Mu Tie stood up and said.
Li Gang flicked three bursts of Sword Qi towards Mu Tie, sending him flying.
"A little group captain of a mercenary group dares to go against our Black Mountain Mercenary Group? Are you tired of living, Mu Tie?" Li Gang said sternly.
"Uncle Tie!" Fang Xiaolian quickly helped Mu Tie up, and the latter spat out quite a bit of blood, looking a bit strained.
At this time, Lin Chen was already filled with murderous intent towards Li Gang.
"Uncle Li! We agreed not to be so harsh, why did you still act out!" Qing Ling chastised.
Seeing Qing Ling's complaining look, Li Gang naturally knew she was deeply in love with Lin Chen.
However, Li Gang, being a man of experience, knew that Qing Ling and Lin Chen's relationship wouldn't end well, so he didn't want them to waste any more time here. If they really wasted time here, there wouldn't be many opportunities in the future.
"Go! Take the beast core and get out of here!" Li Gang said sternly.
Qing Ling had no choice; after all, it was a mercenary group order that had to be followed.
"Qing Ling, you... you really want to do this?" Lin Chen was somewhat incredulous; he never thought that Qing Ling, whom he always cared about, would betray him!
If Qing Ling truly betrayed him, Lin Chen wouldn't have much left to care about.
"I'm sorry... I... I'm being forced..." Qing Ling directly took the King Kong beast core from Lin Chen's presence.
Unwilling to accept it, Lin Chen rushed towards them, attempting to snatch it back.
However, a terrifying killing intent directly restrained his body, rendering him unable to move.
Lin Chen tried to use his Tianyan Nine Forms, but unfortunately, the Tianyan Ancient Sword was also controlled by Li Gang and fell to the ground.
Without his most powerful weapon, Lin Chen couldn't continue to contend with Li Gang.
"You little brat, you're too full of yourself!" Li Gang took out a dark green longsword from his sleeve, intending to end Lin Chen's life with a single swing.
"No! Don't!" Qing Ling tried to stop him.
But because Li Gang's sword speed was too fast, even though Qing Ling tried her best to intervene, it was too late; Li Gang's sword had already left its sheath!
Swish! Swish!
Thud!
The dark green longsword pierced the person's heart, but that person wasn't Lin Chen; it was Mu Tie.
It turned out, at that critical moment, Fang Xiaolian rushed to Lin Chen's front, and Mu Tie shielded Fang Xiaolian.
The longsword flew through Mu Tie's chest, piercing him directly.
"Uncle Tie!" Fang Xiaolian wept bitterly.
Lin Chen, seeing this scene, was also devastated. He never imagined he would face such a situation, and at this moment, his heart was deeply moved.
"You damned meddler!" Li Gang attempted to continue the attack but was stopped by Qing Ling.
"Uncle Li, if you still wish to kill Lin Chen, then please kill Qing Ling first!" Qing Ling said seriously.
"You, you... Never mind! Let's go!"
