The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1501 I may not be good at alchemy, but I am good at killing.

Lin Chen remained calm in the face of the aggressive Zeng Tongxiu and An Congyun.

"The outcome will be clear in the competition."

Zeng Tongxiu laughed loudly, "Wait and see? Do you really think you still have a chance to compete against me? I'm afraid you won't even make it past the preliminaries..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Chen was too lazy to engage in a war of words with Zeng Tongxiu, feeling as if he had been inexplicably dragged down in terms of manners.

"Whatever you say."

Lin Chen's nonchalant response immediately made Zeng Tongxiu feel as if he had punched the air with all his might, which was very unpleasant.

Seeing Lin Chen turn to leave, Zeng Tongxiu called out, "Since you're so confident, how about we have a match?"

Lin Chen tilted his head and smiled, "Pure Yang Wood, as the wager?"

Zeng Tongxiu nodded. He proposed the competition, naturally to obtain the Pure Yang Wood, and of course, to humiliate Lin Chen as well.

"Yes, I won. The Pure Yang Wood is mine. I lost. I'll give you one million Immortal Spirit Stones, ten times the bet. Dare to accept?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare, I won't gamble."

Zeng Tongxiu never expected that Lin Chen would refuse without hesitation, and even had a smile on his face, looking relaxed and not at all annoyed by being looked down upon.

Lin Chen's clean and straightforward admission, without even using any mockery or sarcastic tone, gave everyone a strange feeling.

poised and confident, neither arrogant nor humble!
Everyone believed that Lin Chen's alchemy skills were definitely inferior to Zeng Tongxiu's. After all, Zeng Tongxiu was the pride of the Twin Dragons Sect, while Lin Chen came from the White Crane Immortal Sect, which was not good at alchemy. Was there any need to compare them?
However, Zeng Tongxiu persisted in his harassment, his tone sarcastic and relentless, as if he were a petty person who had gained power and was arrogant and domineering. Lin Chen, on the other hand, remained calm and magnanimous, showing a composure that he would not stoop to the level of such a petty person.

No one felt that Lin Chen had been humiliated. On the contrary, they thought Zeng Tongxiu was really annoying. He used his best skills to bully others who were not good at something, in public. Did he have any shame?

He may have real skills, but he's really annoying!
Although no one said anything, the way everyone looked at Zeng Tongxiu was full of strangeness.

Zeng Tongxiu sensed this strangeness, which made him even angrier, but what could he do in front of everyone?
He can't just beat everyone up, can he?

Zeng Tongxiu, undeterred by the situation, continued his taunts: "Are all the disciples of the White Crane Immortal Sect so cowardly that they don't even dare to respond when mocked and humiliated?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile faded, and his gaze turned cold and stern.

This guy's getting cocky, huh?
Lin Chen said coldly, "I may not be good at alchemy, but I am good at killing. How about we have a fight to the death, a battle to the death?"

Lin Chen's words instantly shocked everyone around him.

"Holy crap, he's issued a life-or-death challenge right away, that's ruthless!" "Zeng Tongxiu is skilled in alchemy and his strength is not weak either, I wonder if he dares to accept?"

"This looks like they've messed with a tough customer and kicked a hornet's nest."

“Zeng Tongxiu is one of the best disciples of the Twin Dragons Sect, and his strength is not low. This guy may not be his match. Could it be that he is trying to scare Zeng Tongxiu with this…”

Everyone stared intently at Zeng Tongxiu, waiting to see how he would handle the situation.

Zeng Tongxiu was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Chen's counterattack to be so fierce!
They actually issued a challenge to a life-or-death duel!

This is... insane!

Zeng Tongxiu stared at Lin Chen: "Which generation disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect are you?"

Lin Chen sneered: "What, chickening out? Let's start bargaining. If I were the current sect leader, you'd find a reason to refuse. If I were the first or second generation, do you think you could beat them, then agree?"

Lin Chen's words struck a chord with Zeng Tongxiu, because that was indeed what he thought.

"I can't possibly fight you to the death without even knowing who you are, that would be too irresponsible of my own life, wouldn't it?"

Lin Chen scoffed, "But you don't understand who I am. Didn't you also challenge me to alchemy? Didn't you consider my feelings? What, you dare to challenge others but not to accept challenges from others? Are the disciples of your Twin Dragons Sect just bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong?"

The people around immediately burst into laughter.

Zeng Tongxiu's face flushed red. He never expected Lin Chen's counterattack to be so fierce, escalating from a pill-refining competition into a life-or-death battle!

That's way too violent!

He asked Lin Chen about his specific identity because he wanted to figure out Lin Chen's approximate strength level, since he couldn't sense how strong Lin Chen was, which meant that Lin Chen was deliberately hiding his strength.

It might be very low, or it might be very high.

He dared not agree rashly before he had figured it out!
Zeng Tongxiu sneered, "You coward who doesn't even dare to reveal his own identity, who would fight you to the death?"

Seeing that he couldn't trick the other party, Lin Chen sneered, "So after all this time, you're just playing favorites. Fine, I am Lin Chen, a disciple of Su Shaoling. I've only been in the sect for seven or eight years and am currently the peak master of the Heavenly Sword Peak of the White Crane Immortal Sect. Sect Master Meng Gongxin is my nephew. Now you understand? A life-or-death duel. Do you dare to accept?"

Zeng Tongxiu's pupils suddenly contracted. Su Shaoling's personal disciple!

Junior Uncle of the White Crane Immortal Sect!
