Chapter 442: Slapping Gu Ming’s Face, Seizing the Life Token

The Gu family was powerful; he couldn't turn against them just because of a momentary impulse.

Zhou Chen stood in the crowd, watching the scene with great interest.

This kid Gu Ming was truly incredibly arrogant.

“Husband, that person is so overbearing,” Zi Yan whispered.

“The more arrogant a person is, the faster they usually die. Don't worry,” Zhou Chen said calmly.

Just then.

Gu Ming's gaze suddenly swept toward Zhou Chen's side.

To be precise, it swept toward Zi Yan.

A flash of amazement crossed his eyes.

“The Zixia Sect still has a beauty like this?”

A smile curled at the corners of Gu Ming's mouth as he stepped forward.

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow.

This kid, is he looking for death?

Gu Ming walked up to Zi Yan and cupped his hands.

“I am Gu Ming. May I know your name, young lady?”

Zi Yan's expression changed, and she instinctively hid behind Zhou Chen.

“I… I already have a Dao Companion.”

Hearing this, Gu Ming's gaze fell upon Zhou Chen.

He sized him up, a flash of disdain appearing in his eyes.

“Fourth Layer of True Immortal Realm?”

“He doesn't deserve you.”

Gu Ming completely ignored Zhou Chen and looked at Zi Yan.

“Young lady, following such a piece of trash will only delay your future.”

“Why not follow me, Gu Ming? I guarantee that I will let you…”

Before he could finish his sentence.

Slap!

A loud slap suddenly landed on Gu Ming's Face.

Gu Ming was sent flying, flipping several times in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

The entire venue fell into a dead silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, their minds completely blank.

Someone… dared to hit Gu Ming?

And in front of so many people?

Gu Ming scrambled up from the ground, clutching his Face, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“You dare hit me?”

Zhou Chen patted his hands and said indifferently.

“You're exactly the one I'm hitting.”

“Is my woman someone you can covet?”

Gu Ming's Face turned ashen.

Since he was a child, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

“You're looking for death!”

Gu Ming roared, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

The pressure of the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer instantly enveloped the field.

The surrounding Disciples retreated one after another, their Faces pale.

Gu Ming raised his hand and threw a palm strike at Zhou Chen.

The wind from the palm howled, containing power that could destroy heaven and earth.

However, in the next second.

Zhou Chen raised his hand and gave a wave.

Gu Ming's attack instantly dissipated, without even creating a ripple.

Immediately after, Zhou Chen flicked his finger.

An invisible finger force shot out, accurately striking Gu Ming's chest.

Bang!

Gu Ming was sent flying again, even further this time, directly crashing into and collapsing a stone pillar at the edge of the square.

As the dust cleared, Gu Ming lay in the ruins, blood at the corner of his mouth and his Face pale.

He struggled to stand up, but found that the Immortal Spiritual Power inside his body was in complete disarray, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

The entire venue fell into a dead silence once more.

Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Zhou Chen as if they were looking at a monster.

A Fourth Layer of True Immortal Realm insta-killing a True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer?

How was this possible?

The White-haired Elder of the Gu family had a terrifyingly dark expression.

He took a step forward, and the terrifying pressure of an Immortal King instantly enveloped the field.

“Junior, you have a lot of nerve!”

“Daring to injure a Disciple of my Gu family, are you tired of living?”

Zhou Chen looked up at the White-haired Elder.

“He made the first move.”

“Besides, he was the one who harassed my Dao Companion first.”

“I was just acting in self-defense.”

The White-haired Elder sneered.

“Self-defense?”

“You, a Fourth Layer of True Immortal Realm, can injure someone at the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer?”

“Who would believe that? You must have used some secret means.”

Zhou Chen shrugged.

“Believe it or not.”

“The fact remains as it is.”

A flash of killing intent crossed the White-haired Elder's eyes.

Just as he was about to strike, True Person Zixia suddenly blocked his path, standing in front of Zhou Chen.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, this is the Zixia Sect.”

“If you want to make a move, wouldn't that be giving me too little Face?”

The White-haired Elder snorted coldly.

“Fellow Daoist Zixia, a Disciple of your Zixia Sect injured a child of my Gu family. Do you think it can just be left at that?”

“This matter can wait until after the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition is over.”

“If Zhou Chen is in the wrong, my Zixia Sect will naturally give the Gu family an explanation,”

True Person Zixia said in a heavy voice.

The White-haired Elder stared at True Person Zixia, remained silent for a moment, and eventually snorted coldly and turned to leave.

“Fine, then we'll settle the score after the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition.”

He walked to Gu Ming's side and fed him a Medicinal Pill.

After taking the pill, Gu Ming's complexion improved slightly.

He climbed up and glared at Zhou Chen, his eyes full of venomous resentment.

“Just you wait. Inside the Small World, I will make your life worse than death.”

Zhou Chen smiled.

“I'll be waiting.”

Gu Ming snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The surrounding Disciples looked at Zhou Chen with complex expressions.

There was admiration, fear, and also gloating over his misfortune.

Having offended the Gu family, this kid probably wouldn't live long.

What Zhou Chen didn't notice was that Lin Potian was looking at him with resentment at this moment.

The strength Zhou Chen had just displayed made him instantly understand something.

This kid had been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along!

Lin Tian must have been killed by him!

True Person Zixia looked at Zhou Chen, a flash of worry in his eyes.

“Zhou Chen, you… sigh.”

He sighed and ultimately said nothing.

He hadn't expected this kid to be such a trouble-maker, but now that things had come to this, saying anything was useless.

He could only take it one step at a time.

The teleportation array for the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition was set up in the Zixia Sect's rear mountain.

This was an ancient teleportation array, said to have been left behind by an Immortal Emperor during the ancient era.

In the center of the Formation was a massive light gate, emitting a soft white light.

All the participating Disciples formed a long line and entered the light gate one by one.

Zhou Chen followed at the end of the line, hands tucked into his sleeves, looking lazy.

Zi Yan pulled tightly on his sleeve, her eyes filled with worry.

“Husband, you must be careful of Gu Ming.”

“He will definitely seek revenge against you in the Small World.”

Zhou Chen patted her hand.

“Don't worry, he won't be able to stir up any trouble.”

“As for you, be careful after entering, and try not to leave the group.”

Zi Yan nodded.

Soon, it was their turn to enter the light gate.

Zhou Chen took one last look at Zi Yan and turned to step into the light gate.

His vision blurred.

The scenery changed instantly.

This was a vast plain.

The sky was gray, no sun could be seen, only endless wild grass swaying in the wind.

The air was filled with a faint scent of blood.

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense swept out, finding that many Disciples were already fighting within a thousand-mile radius.

The rules of the Small World were very simple.

Kill the opponent and seize their Life Token.

The Life Token represented Luck points; the higher the Luck points, the more resources the Sect would be allocated.

Everyone would receive a Life Token upon entering the Small World.

The name of their respective Sect was engraved on the Life Token.

Zhou Chen looked down at the Life Token on his waist.

The words "Zixia Sect" were engraved on it.

“Interesting.”

Zhou Chen put away the Life Token and chose a direction at random, walking leisurely.

He was in no hurry to snatch Life Tokens.

There was plenty of time anyway; he'd see how things were first.

After walking for about half an hour, the sound of fighting suddenly came from ahead.

Zhou Chen stopped and swept his Divine Sense out.

Two Disciples were fighting.

One was wearing a blue robe with a cultivation of Fifth Layer of True Immortal Realm, likely a Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
