Chapter 146: Surrender, Lin Chen's Extreme Fear

Chapter 146: Surrender, Lin Chen's Extreme Fear

At this moment, Lin Yan's palm, enveloped in Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, continued to approach Lin Chen's face.

Seeing Lin Yan's actions, fear appeared on Lin Chen's face. Unable to contain himself, he cried out for help. Finally, Senior Tao also spoke up, requesting Lin Yan to show mercy.

Only then did Lin Yan stop his actions, retracting the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire on his palm, and then releasing the hand that was tightly gripping Lin Chen's.

A warm smile soon appeared on his face.

This smile was incredibly warm and harmless, like sunshine, giving the impression of an innocent young man.

"Haha, my apologies. It was just a joke."

"My bad, Brother Lin Chen."

But Lin Chen, on the side, felt a lingering fear.

After all, he had just realized how terrifying Lin Yan was.

The movements were seamless in that instant, and the killing intent emanating from Lin Yan's body just now was very strong.

Lin Chen couldn't help but think, if Senior Tao hadn't spoken up at the end to ask Lin Yan to show mercy, and if the green flame on Lin Yan's palm had successfully landed on his face, what would have been the outcome?

Would he have died?

Even if he survived, he would likely have been disfigured.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen became even more fearful. When facing Lin Yan again, his eyes were filled with deep dread.

He dared not be as arrogant as before.

After all, before this sparring match with Lin Yan, he had thought of Lin Yan as just a minor figure from a branch family.

But after experiencing their confrontation just now, Lin Chen was fully aware that Lin Yan was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Moreover, judging from the intense killing intent emanating from Lin Yan's body just now, Lin Chen could tell that he was definitely a ruthless person. Even though he might not be as ruthless as an executioner who had taken many lives, he must have taken many lives already. Otherwise, such terrifying killing intent would not emanate from his body.

So, when he saw Lin Yan spare him and even speak to him with a smile, Lin Chen didn't dare to relax at all. He quickly replied to Lin Yan, "I dare not. It was my fault earlier."

"I offended you."

With that, he obediently stepped back, showing his fear completely.

"This guy's strength is terrifying."

"And his mood swings."

"One moment he's full of killing intent, the next he's all smiles."

"Truly terrifying."

The Lin family disciples couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

After witnessing Lin Chen's fate, when they looked at Lin Yan, their eyes were filled with fear.

Even Lin Ke'er, on the other side, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"He's really a monster. I didn't expect someone like him to appear here. It's unbelievable."

She hadn't seen through Lin Yan's true nature before, so she was startled by the strength he displayed.

Now, she also understood that he was a wolf, even more so than a ruthless person.

So, when facing Lin Yan, she also became extremely cautious.

"Old friend, you're lucky."

Senior Tao smiled and said to Lin Zhentian.

Although he hadn't fought Lin Yan himself, judging from the strength he had displayed earlier, Senior Tao predicted that Lin Yan's strength might be much stronger than his own.

So now, he joked with Lin Zhentian and said with a wry smile, "It seems with his strength, he doesn't need me to take care of him."

"It's more like he'll be taking care of us."

With that said, he looked at Lin Chen on the side and said unkindly, "Now, you've met your match, haven't you?"

"Being humble is important. Fortunately, Brother Lin Yan didn't hold it against you. If it were someone else, you'd be in trouble."

Lin Chen didn't dare to respond. After all, Lin Yan had the ability to kill him just now. And he had narrowly escaped death.

So now, he could only obediently listen to Senior Tao's advice and reply, "Yes, Senior Tao, you're right."

After discussing the matter, everyone soon dispersed.

After all, there were still a few days before the opening of the ancient tomb. It was useless for them to go there early. They had to wait until representatives from the major forces arrived and the Heaven Tomb was opened before they could enter.

So, for the next few days, the members of the Lin family stayed at the Lin house. But it couldn't be denied that, after experiencing the incident with Lin Yan, these Lin family members had indeed become much more obedient.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan continued his cultivation as usual.

With his cultivation in yuan force, spiritual arrays, alchemy, and talismans all blossoming, he also took the time to guide Qin tang cultivation whenever he could.

However, perhaps because she knew Lin Yan would soon be leaving, Qin tang seemed quite reluctant.

So, every time they met these few days, after practicing for a while, they couldn't help but start to linger, eventually ending up exhausted and collapsing together, completely satisfied and falling asleep.

In the room, with Qin tang sleeping soundly against his chest, a smile of affection appeared on Lin Yan's face. He gently stroked her hair, wiped the sweat from her forehead caused by their intense activity, and muttered to himself, "Even if it's just for her, I can't let Lin Langtian off the hook."

"That guy is unlucky, but it's his own fault for offending my father-in-law. So even if it's just to make my wife happy, I can't let him off the hook."

Lin Yan leaned down and kissed Qin tang forehead, but unexpectedly, it woke her up.

The girl blushed when she looked down, but quickly coquettishly said, "You villain, it seems like you're still full of energy."

The scene in the room became inappropriate for children again.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Early one morning after those three days, Senior Tao's team had already prepared to depart.

"Hehe, now that everyone's here, let's set off."

Senior Tao glanced at Lin Dong and Lin Yan, then smiled and said to them, ready to start moving.

"Be careful, Yan'er."

"Dong'er, listen to your brother outside."

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhentian and the others each reminded Lin Yan and Lin Dong.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Lin Dong nodded earnestly, while Lin Yan smiled and agreed.

The group quickly set off towards the direction of the ancient tomb.

As for Lin Zhentian and the others, as they watched the departing figures, they couldn't help but feel emotional.

Every time they parted, when they returned, these two kids would always bring them surprises.

Who knew how strong Lin Yan and Lin Dong would become when they returned this time?

"Let's go back to cultivate."

Watching Lin Yan and Lin Dong leave, Qin tang couldn't help but turn his gaze away when he couldn't see their figures anymore.

The more he realized Lin Yan's excellence, the more he understood that he needed to become stronger.

Otherwise, if his strength was too far behind Lin Yan's, even if Lin Yan didn't mind, Qin tang would feel unworthy to stand by his side.

So, she also needed to strive to catch up with him.
