Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 647 - 645: Embarrassment_1

"And who exactly are you? From the sound of it, you seem to look down on the Cyan Robe Association?" Shi Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Ling Chen.

"Brother Wuchen is a disciple of the Black Market," Chen Beixuan said at this moment, trying to use Ling Chen's status as a Black Market disciple to see if it could intimidate the other party.

"Haha, a mere Black Market disciple, daring to act so arrogantly in my presence!" The disdain in Shi Zhong's eyes grew even stronger. "Now the entire Black Market is subordinate to the Cyan Robe Association. As a Black Market disciple, you should be more respectful to me, yet you dare to spout such nonsense here. Are you new?"

Upon hearing these words, the faces of Chen Beixuan and the others turned increasingly unsightly. They also felt deeply guilty; they had intended to use Ling Chen's background to deter Shi Zhong, but instead, they had caused Ling Chen to be humiliated as well.

"Since you say you're a member of the Cyan Robe Association, have you ever seen your Sect Leader, Ling Chen?" Ling Chen asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

"How could a common person possibly see someone as noble as Sect Leader Ling Chen?" Shi Zhong glanced at Ling Chen and said, as if it were a matter of course.

"The Cyan Robe Association has eight branches. I wonder which branch you belong to?" Ling Chen asked with an indifferent smile.

"Hmph, I'm from the Fire Country Branch. Why do you ask?" Shi Zhong was wary, unsure of Ling Chen's intentions.

"Fire Country Branch? So you serve under Branch Master Jiang Yunting?" Ling Chen arched an eyebrow.

"How dare you utter our Branch Master's name!" Shi Zhong glared at Ling Chen, scolding harshly. While the Cyan Robe Association's hierarchy was secret, the names of the eight branch masters were widely known. Ling Chen is dreaming if he thinks that information can scare me.

"Since you are a member of the Cyan Robe Association, you should recognize this item," Ling Chen said, no longer bothering to waste words on this individual. He flipped his palm, revealing a Green Jade Token.

Curious, Shi Zhong leaned in for a closer look at the token in Ling Chen's hand. On the token, three words were clearly inscribed: "Green Emperor's Order."

"Green Emperor's Order?" After seeing those three words clearly, Shi Zhong's body trembled, and a chill ran down his spine. The Green Emperor's Order was the supreme token of the Cyan Robe Association, symbolizing supreme power.

"Green Emperor's Order? Big Brother Shi Zhong, don't be fooled by him! Only the Master of the Cyan Robe Association possesses the Green Emperor's Order. This must be a fake!" a warrior beside Shi Zhong shouted.

"I was almost deceived by you, brat!" Shi Zhong looked as if he'd suddenly realized something. He then sneered coldly, looking at Ling Chen mockingly. "You dare to forge the Green Emperor's Order! That's a grave crime! Men, seize this brat! Confiscate all his possessions as punishment!"

"Hehe, then we won't hold back!"

"Daring to forge the Green Emperor's Order! Does he take our boss for a fool?"

Several warriors behind Shi Zhong started moving towards Ling Chen.

"It was my mistake to reason with ruffians," Ling Chen said, putting away the token with a smile. "But not recognizing the Green Emperor's Order, that's your failing. The Cyan Robe Association doesn't need scum like you."

With that, Ling Chen abruptly raised his hand. As he opened his palm, a powerful surge of True Qi swept out.

The few warriors who had approached were instantly sent flying by this True Qi, tumbling awkwardly into the nearby marsh and landing face-first in the mud.

WHOOSH!

A strong gust of wind swept past. By the time Shi Zhong reacted, Ling Chen had already appeared before him.

"You're seeking death!" Shi Zhong's expression darkened, and he abruptly threw a punch at Ling Chen's face.

SLAP! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Shi Zhong's fist stopped dead in front of Ling Chen, tightly gripped by a hand. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Ling Chen's grip.

A cold glint flashed in Ling Chen's eyes. He suddenly twisted his arm. A crisp CRACK echoed as Shi Zhong's arm was violently twisted out of shape, its joint instantly dislocated.

"AAAAH!" Uttering a scream like a stuck pig, Shi Zhong clutched his dislocated arm and retreated, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Ling Chen. He tried to move his arm, only to find it completely numb.

Ling Chen had broken his arm.

He's a Fifth Level Grand Master, yet Ling Chen broke his arm with such ease. This kid is no ordinary person, Shi Zhong thought.

"Boy, why did you have to interfere? Offending me will do you no good," Shi Zhong said somberly, regarding Ling Chen with wary eyes.

"I'll count to three. Take your men and leave immediately. Otherwise, none of you will leave," Ling Chen stated, his face expressionless as he began to count, "One... two..."

"Let's go!" Shi Zhong immediately waved to the men behind him. Then, with a dark expression, he turned and left.

"Boss, are we just leaving like this?" one of his men asked as they retreated.

"What else? That kid is strange and not easy to deal with. But this isn't over." A sinister glint flashed in Shi Zhong's eyes. This is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He can disrespect and humiliate me here, but I refuse to believe he can hide in these mountains forever. The moment he dares to step out, I'll make him kneel before me, begging for death but finding no release, begging for life but finding no escape!

"Let's go! We'll leave this damned place first. A few of you, keep an eye on the exits of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Report to me immediately if that brat shows himself."

"Understood. That kid probably doesn't know that Helm Master Jiang is your maternal uncle, Boss. If he knew, he wouldn't dare treat you like this even if he had ten times the nerve!" one of the men beside him chuckled sinisterly.

"It's too late." A grim look settled in Shi Zhong's eyes. That brat not only broke my arm but also dared to forge the Green Emperor's Order to swindle people. For that alone, he's dead. Getting my uncle to act shouldn't be a problem. With that, he let out a smirk, his smile utterly sinister. He could already picture the miserable scene of Ling Chen being tortured and beaten.

「」

"Thank you, Brother Wuchen." Once Shi Zhong and his men retreated, Chen Beixuan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They turned to Ling Chen with grateful expressions.

"It's nothing," Ling Chen said nonchalantly. "I said I would help you, and I always keep my word."

"Sigh, I'm afraid we've dragged you into trouble this time," Hong Ling sighed, a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes. "That Shi Zhong is a petty person. You've thoroughly offended him by breaking his arm. I fear he won't let this go easily."

"You don't need to worry about that," Ling Chen shook his head. "If that fellow is smart, he won't come looking for me again. Otherwise, he won't be as fortunate as he was today." He was in a good mood today. Moreover, he had gone easy on Shi Zhong considering he was a member of the Cyan Robe Association. Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended with just a disabled arm.
