No one expected that Xia Zijin's strength and speed would increase all of a sudden.
Xia Zijin has already made a decision.
She knew very well that the reason why Lu Chen compromised with these people now was because he was worried about her.
at this point.
She could no longer let Chase Lu risk his life. If Lu Chen was slapped like this again, he would probably die from it.
She will never allow it!
But now, in order for Chase Chase to stop compromising with them, the only way to solve Chase Chase's concerns is herself.
Only if she dies, Lu Chen will no longer have any scruples, and will no longer be threatened, let alone put his life in danger.
"Goodbye, Lu Chen."
Xia Zijin was full of tears, with a relieved smile on his face, and then closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
"No!"
At the critical moment, Lu Chen waved his hand, and a silver needle quickly shot towards Xia Zijin.
"Ding!"
Seeing that the dagger was about to scratch Xia Zijin's neck, the sound of sharp weapons clashing was heard.
A force directly knocked the dagger in Xia Zijin's hand to the ground.
Seeing this, the Yin Sect man next to him quickly stepped forward and tried to catch Xia Zijin again.
But at this moment, Ba Jian appeared next to Xia Zijin and stopped the Yin Sect man.
"You all stop it!"
The Yin Sect disciples were puzzled, "Senior Brother, you..."
It was Ba Jian's move that gave Lu Chen a chance.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Chen's figure flashed and turned into an afterimage, disappearing from the place.
Zhao Qi's face darkened and he wanted to step forward to stop him.
Upon seeing this, Gu Zheng and Qin Feng quickly attacked Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi immediately shouted, "Capture that woman!"
The Yin Sect disciples quickly followed suit, but it was already too late.
Just when they were about to take action against Xia Zijin, Lu Chen had already come to Xia Zijin and hugged her into his arms.
"Lu Chen..." Xia Zijin was overjoyed.
Seeing the two Yin Sect disciples taking action against them, Lu Chen's murderous intent surged out. With a wave of his hand, terrifying energy swept out.
The two Yin Sect disciples had no room to fight back. They were all thrown away and fell everywhere, letting out painful wails.
Lu Chen jumped up and took Xia Zijin away from here and to the middle of the hall.
When Gu Zheng, Qin Feng and others saw this, they also stopped taking action and returned to Lu Chen's side.
Zhao Qi immediately ordered his disciples, "Surround them and don't let them leave!"
"yes!"
Several Yin Sect disciples took action quickly and surrounded Lu Chen and others.
"Lu Chen."
Xia Zijin stretched out his hand, touched Lu Chen's face, and asked with concern, "How are you?"
"fine."
Lu Chen held Xia Zijin's hand tightly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "What a fool. How could you do such a stupid thing just now?"
"What should I do if you are gone?"
"I……"
Xia Zijin choked up, "But I don't want to see you being threatened, let alone anything happening to you because of me, so..."
Lu Chen felt warm in his heart, "You will never do this again in the future. If there is a next time, if you die, I will die too. Do you hear me clearly?"
Xia Zijin's heart trembled, but he didn't say anything, just nodded, "I understand."
Zhao Qi's tone was cold, "Originally, you might have been able to leave safely, but now, none of you can even think of leaving!"
Ba Jian's face was solemn and he quickly advised, "Master, stop."
"Now that we have what our Yin Sect needs, let them leave here. Why do we have to push them to this point?"
Zhao Qi shouted, "You let her go privately just now, and my master hasn't even settled the score with you yet. How dare you disobey my master here now?"
"Master, I..."
Ba Jian took a deep breath and continued, "Master, you taught me to be tolerant and to be kind to others, but don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be like this now?"
Hearing this, Zhao Qi's face became even more ugly, "My teacher has trained you from childhood to adulthood so that you can obey orders, not to stand up and criticize my teacher's behavior!"
"Whatever my teacher asks you to do, you should obey it unconditionally. Can't you even do this? It's really wasted that my teacher has put so much effort into you."
"What you are doing now is rebellious!"
Ba Jian's face was dull, his mouth was slightly open, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't.
He took a few steps back feebly and stared at Zhao Qi with wide eyes.
For him, the Zhao Qi of the past was not what he is now.
Now standing in front of him, Zhao Qi felt that everything was so strange, as if he had never met him before.
What Zhao Qi just said was like a needle pricking his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I don't have time to pay attention to you now, so you can take care of yourself. After this matter is dealt with, I will teach you a lesson!"
After the words fell, Zhao Qi left Ba Jian with a confused look on his face and slowly walked towards the direction where Lu Chen and others were.
"I don't want to be an enemy of your Yin Sect, but what you're doing is a bit too much?"
Lu Chen said calmly, "The Yin Sect is a well-known and upright sect after all. Is this how you behave?"
"When did the Yin Sect fall to this level?"
"Now that you are in trouble, do you know that a famous family is upright?"
"Since you want to know so much, I will let you die in a clear way."
Zhao Qi suddenly sneered, "Why didn't I see you say that when you caused the Zhao family to fall?"
Lu Chen frowned, "Are you from the Zhao family?"
"Isn't that surprising?"
Zhao Qi chuckled, "Zhao Jiyong's father and I are cousins, and today I will seek justice for Zhao Jiyong's family!"
"You first killed Zhao Zijie, and then mutilated the Zhao family. It is really unacceptable!"
"Today, I will bring you, the culprit, to justice!"
Zhao Qi's voice was cold and he kept accusing Lu Chen.
Hearing Zhao Qi's words, many Yin Sect disciples were all shocked. Only then did they know the reason why the Great Elder deliberately tried to embarrass Lu Chen just now.
"This guy is so damned!"
"You actually dare to attack the elder's relatives and kill people. People who commit such heinous crimes deserve to be punished!"
Those Yin Sect disciples all stood up and spoke out, accusing Lu Chen of his bad behavior.
Lu Chen was still very calm, "I see, no wonder you have been deliberately targeting me."
"Without my permission, none of you can even think of leaving here!"
Zhao Qi waved his hand fiercely and ordered many Yin Sect disciples, "Get him!"
"yes!"
Facing the great elder's order, many Yin Sect disciples immediately took action and attacked Lu Chen and others.
Lu Chen turned his head and told Gu Zheng and Qin Feng, "You two protect Zijin. If something happens, I will take it from you!"
