Chapter 1043: Annihilated with a Single Finger
When Chen Yu returned, Kong Xiaomu and Kong Qiuye were still there.
"Where's Kong Dongshan?"
Chen Yu asked flatly.
After hesitating for a moment, Kong Qiuye spoke, "Brother Dongshan just left, we don't know where he went."
They all knew that Chen Yu had returned to settle accounts with Kong Dongshan.
After all, Sun Tianlong was deliberately brought by Kong Dongshan to harm Chen Yu.
In fact, Kong Dongshan had just asked both of them to leave with him.
But Kong Xiaomu and Kong Qiuye were deeply intimidated by Chen Yu and didn't dare to anger him. Plus, the previous matter had nothing to do with them, so they believed Chen Yu would be fair.
Moreover, they both wanted to plead for Kong Dongshan.
"Brother Chen, could you spare Brother Dongshan? He only revealed your whereabouts because he was frightened by Sun Tianlong," Kong Qiuye said.
Chen Yu shook his head slightly; Kong Qiuye and Kong Xiaomu weren't so scared that they revealed his whereabouts. Could Kong Dongshan be that scared?
"Brother Chen, this matter was Dongshan's mistake. I hope you'll consider the work he's done for you these past few days and forgive him."
Kong Xiaomu also pleaded.
"Forgive him?"
Chen Yu chuckled lightly.
"He had provoked me multiple times before, and I've already forgiven him many times. Now, he has betrayed me, bringing a strong enemy to take my life. Do you think I should still forgive him?"
Chen Yu's expression was cold, and his demeanor was imposing.
If Kong Dongshan had stayed here obediently, admitted his mistake, and apologized, there might have been room for reconciliation.
But Kong Dongshan ran away.
Kong Xiaomu and Kong Qiuye were speechless, having seen Kong Dongshan's behavior with their own eyes previously.
Chen Yu asked again about Kong Dongshan's whereabouts, and they said they didn't know.
Their answer was somewhat credible since Kong Dongshan was avoiding Chen Yu, so why would he reveal his whereabouts to others?
However, with a little deduction, one could still reach a conclusion.
If Kong Dongshan didn't want to enter the Heavenly Martial Sect, he'd surely find a sparsely populated place to hide and wait for the test to end.
Chen Yu thought this was unlikely because Kong Dongshan had great ambitions and was eager to enter the God Sect.
In that case, Kong Dongshan could only rely on other strong individuals, especially those against Chen Yu, to get some protection.
This included the Lin Family, Qin Family's Qin Wentian, and several other top elites.
The Lin Family had significant enmity with Chen Yu. Even if the other top elites didn't have grudges with Chen Yu, the numerous Tokens in his possession were temptation enough.
However, comparatively, the Lin Family was more likely to accept Kong Dongshan.
"In that case, I'll ask Lin Tianfeng."
Chen Yu chuckled softly and walked away.
"Brother Xiaomu, what do you think Brother Chen will do to Brother Dongshan?"
Seeing Chen Yu leaving, Kong Qiuye couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"If someone brought my enemy to take my life, I would definitely take their life if given the chance."
Kong Xiaomu said solemnly.
In this world, one absolutely can't be merciful to their enemies, especially those who want to kill you.
...
Although the Lin Family team was no longer pursuing Chen Yu,
it was still easy to find out their whereabouts.
Whenever Chen Yu encountered anyone, he would unleash a powerful aura, looking cold and ruthless, then inquire.
Even if the news about him defeating Sun Tianlong hadn't yet spread widely, his previous reputation alone was intimidating enough to make people shudder in fear.
At first, Chen Yu didn't gain much.
But soon, he encountered an acquaintance, the white-robed Long Aoyun.
Next to Long Aoyun was a black-robed man at the mid-stage Star Condensation Realm.
Back then, Long Aoyun was caught by Chen Yu and tricked the black-robed man over. The two had a falling out, but now they were together again.
"Long Aoyun."
Chen Yu quickly approached and shouted.
Long Aoyun and the black-robed man, who were chatting, turned and the moment they saw Chen Yu, their faces turned pale.
"Chen Yu!"
They exclaimed in shock, fear, and panic revealed in their expressions.
"Don't kill me, Chen Yu, I was just momentarily confused and believed Lin Daowei's words to come against you."
Long Aoyun begged for mercy right away, looking pitiful.
The black-robed man also immediately pleaded for mercy.
Both thought Chen Yu was there to seek revenge.
But Chen Yu didn't even know that these two had once joined the Lin Family team to track him.
"Hmph, how bold you are. It seems I was too lenient before; you haven't learned your lesson at all."
Chen Yu said coldly with a gloomy and cruel look.
This terrified Long Aoyun and the black-robed man even further, making them shiver all over.
This was it; they were doomed.
Chen Yu had defeated even the Black Scorpion King at the mid-stage Star Condensation Peak and beaten Sun Tianlong in the late stage. Dealing with these two was like handling children.
"Quickly, where is Lin Tianfeng?"
Chen Yu shouted.
Their nerves tightened with fear, and they instinctively responded: "We just parted with Lin Tianfeng; his last location was a hundred miles to the west."
Swoosh!
Having gotten the answer, Chen Yu quickly left.
Long Aoyun and the black-robed man immediately sensed something was amiss. By the time they looked up, Chen Yu was already gone.
He left?
He just asked a question and left? Wasn't here for revenge?
The two looked at each other, realizing for the first time how timid they were, feeling like they'd been played by Chen Yu.
...
On a hillside.
The Lin Family and others were stationed there.
"You want to follow us?"
Lin Tianfeng looked at Kong Dongshan in front of him and asked indifferently.
"I know you and Chen Yu have a great enmity, just like I do, so I want to follow you. If in the future you want to deal with Chen Yu, please let me contribute."
Kong Dongshan said sincerely.
He didn't give up entering the Heavenly Martial Sect, so he must seek protection, preferably accepted as a disciple by the higher-ups, then Chen Yu wouldn't be able to deal with him.
With Kong Dongshan's qualifications, it was clear he couldn't achieve that.
So he could only seek shelter from other forces, and the Lin Family who had the greatest hatred for Chen Yu was the best choice.
"Just you alone?"
Lin Tianfeng sneered.
Even he and Sun Tianlong were defeated by Chen Yu, what use was Kong Dongshan alone?
If the other party had many companions and clan members, and they defected to him, that would be worthwhile.
"Not just me, I have two clan members who also have a chance to enter the Heavenly Martial Sect. By then, I will persuade them to submit to you."
Kong Dongshan gritted his teeth and said.
No matter what, he had to gain Lin Tianfeng's approval first.
"Alright, you can stay by my side for now, do well, and I won't treat you poorly."
Lin Tianfeng thought for a moment and decided.
The second assessment was almost halfway over, and the Lin Family's gains were considered rather "humble."
Especially Lin Tianfeng himself, who only had four Tokens in hand.
As a genius of the Lin Family, how could he tolerate such results?
Now he needs manpower to help him collect Tokens, a top-five finish seems unlikely, but he must strive for the top ten, otherwise it would disgrace the Lin Family, and what qualification would he have to stand before Lin Yuxuan?
Kong Dongshan sighed in relief, from now on, he was under the Lin Family's protection.
"Let's go, collect the Tokens."
Lin Tianfeng ordered.
"Let's go too." Lin Daowei said.
Lin Tianfeng and Lin Daowei each took their positions, and the dozens present quickly split into two teams, most of them were Lin Family members, followed by other followers.
Just as the two teams were ready to move.
A cold, grave voice pressed down: "Kong Dongshan!"
Kong Dongshan was very familiar with this voice, and his whole body trembled, his face turned pale.
Sure enough, Chen Yu came to settle accounts.
Lin Tianfeng and Lin Daowei, among others, quickly looked over.
"Chen Yu!"
Lin Tianfeng looked as if he was desperately restraining his anger.
And Lin Daowei curiously stared at Chen Yu, seemingly wanting to know why Chen Yu was so strong that even Sun Tianlong was defeated by him.
"Kong Dongshan, your life is mine."
Chen Yu coldly proclaimed as he stared at Kong Dongshan.
His dominance caused the Lin Family members present to tremble in their hearts.
Few dared to speak such words in front of the Lin Family's talented members.
"Brother Lin, save me."
Kong Dongshan didn't argue, directly seeking Lin Tianfeng's help.
Now, Lin Tianfeng was his last hope.
"Chen Yu, Kong Dongshan is with me now, let him go."
Lin Tianfeng said in a steady voice.
Kong Dongshan had just followed him, if Chen Yu killed as he wished, who would follow him in the future?
Besides, Lin Tianfeng had an intense grudge against Chen Yu.
When he first saw Chen Yu, an image flashed in his mind of being slapped by Chen Yu over and over, and that embarrassing scene was the greatest humiliation of his life.
As a genius of the Demigod Family, even some high-ups of a Four-star Family would show Lin Tianfeng some courtesy.
"Who do you think you are? You say let go, and I let go?"
Chen Yu looked at Lin Tianfeng.
He thought he might not have taught him enough last time, this Lin Tianfeng guy still dared to oppose him.
Being stared at by Chen Yu, Lin Tianfeng immediately felt uncomfortable, his body involuntarily shuddered with fear, making him look exceedingly gloomy.
"Chen Yu, you're too arrogant, before you killed Lin Family members, we haven't even settled that with you, and now you come again to kill."
Lin Daowei snorted coldly.
There were more than ten people present, was Chen Yu something to fear?
"Arrogant? Do I need you to meddle in who I kill?"
Chen Yu immediately shouted, releasing an overwhelming pressure like the descent of an ancient Holy Beast, shaking all the people present!
Swoosh!
Chen Yu acted instantly, performing the Yangming Sword Point, as a Blood Flame Sword Pillar shot out like lightning.
With this move, Chen Yu activated the power of the Stellar Physique, further infusing it with the triple spatial Profound Meaning.
Kong Dongshan never expected Chen Yu to attack without warning. By the time he reacted, it was naturally too late to dodge.
Boom! Thud!
The Blood Flame Sword Pillar struck Kong Dongshan's head, and a headless corpse fell to the ground.
Silence surrounded the area!
In front of the Lin Family's two great geniuses, Chen Yu killed as he said, killing Kong Dongshan with a single strike!
This domineering aura oppressed everyone, making it hard to breathe, let alone contend with him.
Moreover, just that one strike from Chen Yu made even Lin Tianfeng and Lin Daowei feel difficult to deal with.
"Chen Yu, you killed my man again, but he belonged to another family, so I won't bother arguing with you."
Lin Tianfeng said coldly, quickly turning around, ready to leave.
Lin Daowei also no longer opposed Chen Yu.
"Did I let you go?"
Chen Yu looked at the two teams ready to leave and said indifferently.
With those words, the two teams instantly froze in place.
