Chapter 51: Among Sword Cultivators, the Sword Bone is Supreme!

"Who on earth is the one who administered the poison?"

An unimaginable fury pierced through Lin Chen's pupils.

He wished he could strike immediately, tear that person into a thousand pieces, and annihilate their entire lineage!

"It is best for you not to consider this too deeply for now. The person who administered the poison is not a faction from the Five Nations territory."

A profound and meaningful gleam flashed through Su Yuwei's eyes.

Lin Chen closed his eyes, keeping his mind calm.

Not a faction from the Five Nations territory—meaning their power surpassed the scope of the Five Nations!

Perhaps, even the Lihuo Sect might not be a match for them!

"I understand."

Lin Chen took a deep breath, calming his emotions. "How much longer before they come to take my sister's sword bone?"

"Calculating the time, at most one and a half years!"

Having dropped these words, Su Yuwei said lazily, "I hope you will use this year and a half to grow stronger quickly."

With that, Su Yuwei walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

"This cold poison was actually man-made?"

Tuntun looked astonished. "I truly never expected anyone to be so ruthless as to target a young girl!"

"Ever since I can remember, my sister has been tormented by the cold poison! Over the past decade and more, she has endured countless sufferings and hardships, only for me to be told today that all of this was man-made!"

A chilling murderous intent flashed rapidly across Lin Chen's eyes.

Once again, he realized how vast the world was, and how sinister human hearts could be!

Even if you did nothing wrong and merely possessed exceptional talent, higher-level existences would still target you.

In this world, the weak do not even have the right to choose their own manner of death!

They are manipulated and toyed with like puppets on strings.

"I want to grow stronger. I want to grow stronger."

"I... want to grow stronger!!!"

Lin Chen repeated it over and over again. His final low roar even caused the surrounding void to tremble violently.

Returning to the training chamber, Tuntun scratched his head, as if suddenly remembering something. "Lin Chen, a sword bone is no simple thing. It seems there are records of it in my memories..."

"Tell me about it."

Lin Chen nodded. As a beast tamer, he did not know much about sword bones.

"Among martial artists, sword cultivators are supreme, and among sword cultivators, those who possess a sword bone are the absolute best!"

Tuntun explained at length, "The path of the sword is divided into four realms: sword intent, sword heart, sword soul, and sword domain. Those who possess a sword bone are born with sword intent and far surpass others on the path of the sword, making them the absolute top-tier raw material for swordsmanship!"

"Someone like your sister, who has never been in contact with cultivators, is like a flawless piece of uncarved jade. Once she embarks on the path of sword cultivation, her cultivation speed will probably... take off!"

Hearing Tuntun's explanation, a trace of excitement curved the corners of Lin Chen's mouth.

His sister had always wanted to cultivate!

Once her cold poison was cured, she would be able to use the sword bone to embark on the path of the sword.

No wonder the Junior Martial Sister said his sister was a born sword cultivator!

"Go to sleep early, and come out with me on an errand tomorrow."

Lin Chen checked the time; it was getting late.

Tuntun nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep in the training chamber.

He was different from other spiritual beasts.

Perhaps back when he was still an "egg," he had stayed in the spiritual birth space for too long, to the point where Tuntun almost disliked entering it. In his own words, it was too oppressive and uncomfortable in there.

The crucial point was that there were eight other eggs in there!

With so many spiritual beasts, once they hatched in the future, wouldn't it be noisy enough to drive someone crazy?

Just thinking about it was distressing.

Early the next morning, Lin Chen prepared breakfast for Lin Ning'er and carried it into her room.

"Xiaochen, I feel my body getting better and better. After a few more sessions, the cold poison should be completely expelled."

As she ate, Lin Ning'er wore a sweet smile.

Her large eyes curved into crescent moons when she smiled. Her once skinny body had also begun to fill out a bit. Compared to the past, her complexion had become much more rosy, making her look like a completely different person and growing increasingly graceful.

"Sister, today I'm going outside the city to buy some food, and I'll be back soon."

Lin Chen smiled.

"Alright."

Lin Ning'er did not suspect anything.

Lin Chen deployed his movement technique, rapidly leaving the courtyard and heading outside the sect.

Along the way, he avoided everyone he could.

After all, since he was going to ambush Zhao Peng this time, he certainly could not be too conspicuous!

With his current realm, wanting to kill Zhao Peng without anyone else interfering was not a difficult task.

He could resolve the battle in five moves at most!

Bypassing numerous patrolling elders, Lin Chen left Lihuo City and lurked in the forest outside the city.

"Zhao Peng, if you provoke me, I wouldn't care, but you just had to touch my sister!"

Lin Chen's gaze was gloomy. In his hand, he held a piece of intelligence.

He had spent five two-veined spirit jades to have people investigate this intelligence.

As it turned out, Zhao Peng's entire family lived right inside Lihuo City!

Relying on the fact that their family produced an inner sect elder and an inner sect disciple, the Zhao family acted lawlessly and arrogantly in the city.

The intelligence listed the crimes committed by their entire family!

For the sake of a treasure, they slaughtered an entire family.

To snatch a woman, they wiped out a whole lineage.

Over a commercial shop dispute, they beat a man to death on the spot!

What was most hateful was that Zhao Peng also had a fifteen-year-old dissolute younger brother with a violent temperament who committed all sorts of atrocities.

The number of women he had simply snatched back home exceeded a dozen.

Every plain-looking line contained numerous blood-and-tears-soaked accusations!

"Since you dared to touch my sister, don't blame me for wiping out your entire family."

With a surge of spiritual energy, Lin Chen shattered the intelligence into flying dust.

In his conscious detection, a figure was riding a spiritual beast and hurtling toward him.

That spiritual beast was a Black Feather!

And the person was none other than Zhao Peng!

"He's here."

Murderous intent suddenly surged in Lin Chen's heart. With a single step forward, the leaves on the ground were swept up into a flurry.

"Swish!"

Zhao Peng flew past above the forest, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

Close!

In the flash of lightning, Lin Chen clenched his fist, his arm instantly transforming into a giant wooden stake that swept horizontally across.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, the Black Feather was smashed flying by the giant tree trunk, directly crashing through a dozen large trees.

Meanwhile, Zhao Peng rolled miserably on the ground and shouted with irrepressible fury, "Who dares to ambush me? You're courting death!"

"Swish!"

A black shadow rushed out with lightning speed, smashing a fist directly onto the head of the Black Feather!

It was Tuntun.

Tuntun had been gathering power for this punch for a long time, even employing the Dragon Jade Hand.

Without even a chance to struggle, the Black Feather's head directly caved in.

"Puff!"

Zhao Peng spat out a mouthful of blood, as if struck by a heavy blow.

Having his spiritual beast killed inflicted immense damage on him personally!

"Lin Chen, it's... it's you!"

When Zhao Peng saw the other party, his heart felt as if it had been gripped by a giant hand.

He had actually... ambushed him!

"Zhao Peng, I was originally an ordinary outer sect disciple, wanting only to protect my sister and cultivate properly in the Lihuo Sect. I hoped to grow stronger, and once I reached a certain level, I would go take revenge! I didn't want to care about anything else..."

Lin Chen stepped forward, his face ferocious and his pupils crimson red.

The oppressive aura suddenly soared!

"Yet why did you force me?"
