Melee

This entire Huang City belongs to the Heavenly Palace's territory.

Gu Changfeng let out a slight sigh.

Having grown up in an immortal sect, he understood the terror of the Heavenly Palace.

An Yi raised an eyebrow. "So, that means this tavern is too?"

Gu Changfeng nodded.

Seeing this, a hint of delight appeared in An Yi's eyes.

Perfect, he hadn't planned on paying anyway.

Ding! Task triggered: [Melee]! Reward: Evil Power +20!

An Yi looked at the task requirements and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Incite a brawl involving a thousand people? That's not easy!

"Brothers, order whatever you want to eat!" An Yi said with a smug grin.

Ning Er's eyes lit up. "Really? I want a jar of Nine Immortals Palace wine, and I want the 'Monster Medley' feast!"

"Of course. I, Lin Chen, always keep my word!" An Yi replied with a wide grin.

After all, Lin Chen wasn't here. Wearing Lin Chen's name, he could do whatever he wanted.

Hua Fengyu looked somewhat stunned. "Th-this... these would cost over a hundred taels of gold..."

"Small change."

An Yi put on an air of nonchalance.

He wasn't planning to pay anyway! Just go all out!

"Well, well, these two young ladies are quite pretty."

At that moment, a burly, muscular man, his face flushed red from drink, staggered over. He reached out a large hand and stroked the cheek of the young maiden sitting next to Hua Fengyu.

The surrounding onlookers watched with amusement.

Zheng She, leader of the Black Snake Gang, a peak Void Realm martial artist!

The Black Snake Gang he led was notorious for their evil deeds.

Countless young women had been ruined by him.

It was said this guy even enjoyed doing his deeds in public!

At that thought, the watching crowd immediately showed looks of anticipation.

“Ah! How annoying of you!”

The young maiden said with feigned anger, not seeming particularly flustered.

Instantly, the burly man felt his heart melt.

Hua Fengyu turned a blind eye, calmly sipping his tea.

Because he was a man who liked to share; this woman wasn't his wife anyway.

Thud!

An Yi punched Zheng She in the face.

Instantly, blood blossomed, and the man staggered and fell.

"Fucking bastard, bullying my friend's woman? Looking for death, are you?!" An Yi said coldly.

Hua Fengyu was slightly taken aback. "I... I don't mind."

"No, you do mind!"

An Yi shot him a glance and grinned. "Brothers! Beat him up!"

Ning Er, Tu Langlang, Gu Changfeng, and Han Liang immediately surrounded him, pinning Zheng She down and pummeling him.

Zheng She howled, screaming like a slaughtered pig.

In an instant, the entire tavern descended into chaos.

Hua Fengyu took one look, vaguely sensing things were getting out of hand. Grabbing the hands of the two young women, he turned and ran.

"Hit him good!"

A skinny man, watching Zheng She get beaten, said excitedly.

"Incredible! These guys are beating a peak Void Realm cultivator to a pulp..."

Another middle-aged man remarked with feeling.

Suddenly, a hand reached out, grabbed his collar, and dragged him into the fight.

"Damn it, save me!"

"No, no, don't pull me in!"

"Motherfucker, who hit me? You bastard, was it you?"

"Not me, it wasn't me... Damn it, still hitting? Fine, it was me! What are you gonna do about it?!"

Instantly, a large number of people were dragged into the fight. The scene became a complete mess!

Under An Yi's premeditated orchestration, the fighting spread like a virus, growing larger and more chaotic.

"Law Protector Xu, how are the arrangements for the marriage contest proceeding?"

Murong Qinghong asked indifferently.

From the high city wall of Huang City, one could overlook the entire scene.

She walked forward slowly, her graceful figure enough to captivate souls.

Behind Murong Qinghong, Shangguan Qianqian appeared.

Instantly, Murong Qinghong, originally stunningly beautiful, was overshadowed, both in figure and appearance.

Xu Kang replied respectfully, "It will officially begin tomorrow!"

"Your hard work is appreciated."

Murong Qinghong said calmly, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

Just then, a booming sound erupted.

A tavern in the distance collapsed!

Numerous martial artists, brandishing weapons, fought fiercely. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Among them, a man with flames coiling around his legs was particularly eye-catching. Wielding a heavy black sword, he was like a bulldozer.

Martial artists around him were sent flying everywhere!

"Is that Lin Chen?"

Shangguan Qianqian, standing behind Murong Qinghong, saw this and felt a flicker of doubt, followed by a spark of recognition in her eyes!

"No, this aura... it's An Yi!!"

Xu Kang saw this, his face turning cold, trembling with anger. "Palace Master, this subordinate has failed in his duty. I will immediately arrest this brat!"

"Wait!"

Murong Qinghong stopped him. Her beautiful eyes looked towards An Yi, who was cutting through the crowd as if no one was there, showing a hint of appreciation.

His strength was simply crushing compared to the surrounding martial artists.

Not a single one was his match.

Coupled with the four capable followers behind him, they were practically unstoppable in this fight.

Murong Qinghong watched for a few more moments, then turned. "I leave it to you to handle. But this boy is to be captured alive only!"

"Yes!"

Law Protector Xu immediately bowed his head, speaking with trepidation.

"The man directly ahead of you is from the Ghost Hand Clan. See his palms? People of his clan have a high probability of possessing a Dark Spirit Vein."

"The man behind you, his body scorching hot, skin dark and swarthy, if I'm not mistaken, is likely from the Flame Tribe. I didn't expect this ancient tribe to still survive after so long."

Lin Chen walked slowly along the streets of Huang City.

Listening to the voice from the jade pendant explaining the origins of the people they passed.

Lin Chen pondered silently.

The people here were essentially a gathering of experts from all over the immortal sects. Their strength was extremely formidable.

It seems this marriage contest has the feeling of a storm brewing.

Lin Chen thought to himself as he stepped into the main street of Huang City.

Then, he saw the chaotic crowd ahead!

Just moments before, various bursts of energy had erupted, creating chaos. A tall tavern had instantly collapsed.

Dust rose everywhere!

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, preparing to detour.

Although he didn't know what happened, he didn't want to get involved.

"That brat is here!"

A man with dark circles under his eyes saw Lin Chen and shouted in delight.

Instantly, with a rustling sound, a crowd surrounded Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took two steps back, frowning slightly, his gaze alert.

What's going on?

"Damn brat, weren't you so good at fighting?!"

Zheng She, his face covered in blood, crawled out of the rubble. Seeing Lin Chen, his eyes burned with increasing fury.

He was a distinguished peak Void Realm martial artist! He must have been careless, allowing this brat to gain the upper hand!

"Die!"

Zheng She charged, his hand forming a snake-like shape, aiming straight for Lin Chen's face.

Intending to kill with one strike!

Thud!

Lin Chen slowly retracted the Cloud-Splitting Cane.

Zheng She's large body fell to the ground, knocked out cold.

The surroundings fell silent.

"Damn it, there are more of us! Let's get him together!"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

He tightened his grip on the Cloud-Splitting Cane, a murderous aura swirling around him.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

One martial artist after another was struck down.

But even more people surged forward relentlessly.

"This bastard is too much of a beast!"

They were just spectators, and he dragged them in for a beating!

They wouldn't let this go today without giving this guy a thrashing.

"Boss, they all ran away!"

At that moment, a young man with a wispy fringe and naturally curly hair chased from behind and grabbed Lin Chen's arm.

Lin Chen gave Ning Er a cold glance and swung the Cloud-Splitting Cane.

Thud!

Ning Er was over! Knocked out on the ground!

Elsewhere.

An Yi led the other three as they broke through the sea of people and escaped.

"Whew, that was satisfying! Is everyone here?"

An Yi gasped for breath, then turned to look back. Tu Langlang, Gu Changfeng, Han Liang. Good, everyone's here. Let's pull out!
