Chapter 5

"WHAT? You dare to say I'm even worse than a beggar? I think you're tired of living. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."

Jiang Linjun coldly shouted, his aura surging, and his claw emerged from his sleeve, cutting through the air with a hiss, suddenly grabbing at Chen Hui's throat.

Jiang Linjun's sudden attack completely caught everyone off guard. When they saw Jiang Linjun's attack, their expressions changed.

This claw was filled with surging yuan energy, and Jiang Linjun clearly used all his strength. With Jiang Linjun's strength as a peak Fourth Rank Warrior, far surpassing Chen Hui, a full-strength attack would either kill or severely injure Chen Hui.

At this moment, they simply couldn't react in time to help. Once this claw landed, Chen Hui would surely be in grave danger. However, the people around didn't show much emotion, even if they could help Chen Hui, they wouldn't do so at the cost of offending Jiang Linjun.

"Brother, be careful!"

Apart from Chen Yan, who was closest to Chen Hui, no one reacted. Chen Yan had completely forgotten about Chen Hui easily repelling Hu Chang on the first floor. She only knew that she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to Chen Hui.

Because if anything happened to Chen Hui, their Chen family might be left without an heir. Chen Yan, determined to restore the glory of the Chen family, would not allow such a possibility, even as a woman.

The moment Jiang Linjun made his move, Chen Yan immediately followed, her figure darting forward, the power of a Fourth Rank Warrior surging from her palm, aiming to push away Jiang Linjun's claw.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself."

Peng!

The two attacks collided, a strong aura fluctuation exploded in the air, and Chen Yan's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Hmph!"

Her figure involuntarily took a step back, and a pale hue appeared on her beautiful face.

"Scum, you actually dared to attack this young master? I think you're tired of living." With that single strike, Jiang Linjun had used all his strength. He intended to harshly teach Chen Hui a lesson, but unexpectedly, Chen Yan suddenly intervened, blocking the attack for him, which made Jiang Linjun extremely angry, especially since Chen Yan was not injured by his attack.

"Jiang Linjun, don't play this game. My brother's strength may not match yours, but when has our Chen family ever been afraid of anything? We stand united, and if you want to bully my brother, you'll have to deal with me first. Hmph!" Chen Yan, a woman, showed no less courage than a man, coldly snorting.

A warm current welled up in Chen Hui's heart. This adopted sister seemed to genuinely care for him. Clearly, having a woman stand up for him was a complete reversal of his self-perception. Although his cultivation in his previous life was not high, he was still a Ninth Rank Warrior, and as the young master of the Wu Xu Sect, he had never been afraid of anything. He immediately said, "Little sister, stand back, I can handle it!"

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly, "Brother..."

"Ha ha, indeed, you have courage." Jiang Linjun laughed loudly, but his laughter was full of ridicule, "Since you have courage, don't hide behind a woman."

"Brother..."

"Step back!"

"Scum, if you don't move, don't blame me for being ruthless." Jiang Linjun once again stirred up the intense power within his body, ready to attack at any moment.

At this moment, a person suddenly ran into the private room, none other than the disheveled Hu Chang: "Young Master Jiang, don't let them off. They were too presumptuous, and they actually attacked me in public just now."

Hearing this, Jiang Linjun was first startled, then his eyes revealed anger as he glared at Chen Yan, shouting, "Scum, you actually dared to attack my people? Don't think I won't attack you just because you're a woman. Now, this young master will teach you how to behave."

Jiang Linjun wouldn't consider Chen Hui, who had low martial strength, as the one who made Hu Chang so disheveled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Linjun shot forward, his palm curling into a fist, smashing towards Chen Yan.

"Jiang Linjun, you're too overbearing!" Chen Yan said this and immediately moved forward again, completely shielding Chen Hui behind her.

It was clear that Chen Yan intended to face Jiang Linjun's attack alone.

"Little sister, step back!"

Chen Hui's brows furrowed. With Chen Yan blocking him, he couldn't move forward to deal with Jiang Linjun.

However, Chen Yan ignored his shouts. In her eyes, her brother must not be harmed.

"Scum, since you're asking for death, don't blame me." Jiang Linjun sneered, his aura becoming even more intense, his iron fist whistling through the air.

"Brother, leave first, I'll follow!" A determined look appeared in Chen Yan's eyes. She was prepared to fight to the death to protect Chen Hui's escape.

Peng!

However, just as she finished speaking, Jiang Linjun's attack landed on her palm. This was also a full-strength attack from Jiang Linjun. Chen Yan's strength was more than one level below Jiang Linjun's, and she couldn't withstand this attack, flying backward with a pale face.

"Little sister... are you okay?" Chen Hui took a step forward, catching the flying Chen Yan, his brows slightly furrowed.

Chen Yan struggled to stand up, her face pale, and said, "Brother, quickly leave here. Jiang Linjun is clearly targeting you today. You're the only male in our Chen family, and you absolutely cannot be harmed. Otherwise, you'll have no face to meet our ancestors in the netherworld. Brother, go quickly!"

"No, I won't leave for now. Little sister, don't worry, I'll be fine. Since he injured you, he's the one who will be in trouble now." As he spoke, Chen Hui's expression turned cold, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

"You..."

Chen Yan was slightly stunned. At this moment, she suddenly remembered how Chen Hui dealt with Hu Chang on the first floor.

"Leave the rest to me, go to the back and rest." Chen Hui steadied Chen Yan, then let go, his cold gaze fixed on Jiang Linjun.

"Brother, be careful." Chen Yan reminded him.

Chen Hui nodded.

"Ha ha, hurt me? What a ridiculous notion. A mere trash can't hurt me?" Jiang Linjun laughed loudly at Chen Yan's words, but his voice turned cold afterward, "Chen Hui, you finally dare to come out? I thought you planned to be a coward forever. But I must tell you, you won't be as lucky today as before. If you don't leave something behind, you won't leave this inn alive."
