Chapter 903: Champion of the Pinnacle
"Hmph, Lin Kuang, stop trying to argue your way out here!
We, the brothers, were so close to killing the War Mammoth, but you just came out and killed the War Mammoth, taking a big advantage.
And you took the War Mammoth’s inner core from our hands.
Now you dare to argue that you killed the War Mammoth, how can you be so shameless!"
Cheng Ku said angrily, his tone full of heartbreak, as if Lin Kuang had done something outraging.
Because Cheng Ku spoke so loudly, he naturally attracted a lot of attention, and people drinking here came out from their rooms, focusing on the place where Cheng Ku and Lin Kuang were arguing.
"It’s Feng Ya Pavillion, isn’t that Miss Lan Ji’s room? Is Lan Ji having an argument with someone?"
Someone wondered in their mind.
Most people here knew Lan Ji’s identity, and someone daring to argue with Lan Ji like this was practically asking for death!
Among the crowd, Chang Hu and Jin Zhan were also present, both feeling quite puzzled.
After all, Lan Ji’s status was so high, who dared to argue like this with her? It was really reckless!
Lan Ji quietly watched, her beautiful eyes measuring Cheng Ku and Lin Kuang back and forth.
Although Cheng Ku’s words and expression seemed well-acted, Lan Ji still felt that Cheng Ku was fake, naturally siding with Lin Kuang in her heart.
"Tsk tsk, you really are shameless!
Since that’s the case, why did you let me take the Demon Core from your hands? Couldn’t you stop me?"
Lin Kuang calmly asked.
"At that time, while dealing with the War Mammoth, we were all seriously injured, unable to stop you. Otherwise, would we let you leave?"
Cheng Ku spoke without thinking, his gaze filled with anger.
"Alright, since you’ve said you were seriously injured, then, if I hadn’t intervened, how could you have killed the War Mammoth?
Don’t tell me that even if you were severely wounded and on the brink of death, you could still kill the War Mammoth.
If that’s the case, then I really have nothing more to say."
Looking at Cheng Ku, Lin Kuang smiled and said, his dark eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, Cheng Ku was taken aback, then his face flushed red, with evident shame and anger in his gaze.
At this moment, everyone heard Lin Kuang’s words, after all, his voice was completely unobscured, making it audible to anyone present.
Upon hearing Lin Kuang’s words, none of the people present were fools, naturally understanding the implication of Lin Kuang’s words.
At this point, Cheng Ku’s face looked grim, with murderous intent even more evident in his gaze.
He hadn’t expected to be trapped by Lin Kuang, yet he fell right into it.
"You, you are just arguing senselessly!
Even if we were injured, we have Secret Treasure, we could also kill that War Mammoth!
What’s more, after you killed the War Mammoth, shouldn’t the credit also belong to us brothers?
Why did you directly take the Demon Core and leave, isn’t that taking advantage of us in trouble?!"
Cheng Ku spoke again, starting a counterattack.
I must admit, his counterattack was really fierce.
Now, many people agreed with Cheng Ku’s words, feeling he was quite right.
After all, they were the ones who severely injured the War Mammoth, although they were almost dying too, Lin Kuang still took advantage, logically, the credit should indeed include Cheng Ku’s part.
"Cheng Ku, if that’s what you’re saying, then let me ask you.
After I killed the War Mammoth, how did you treat me?
Back then, did I ask for the Demon Core? Didn’t mention it, right?
And your junior brother, what did he do? He tried to snatch the Demon Core, even threatening me not to take it, or else you’d be rude to me, and even brought up the Heavenly Spirit Sect to pressure me.
Tsk tsk, in that situation, was I supposed to spinelessly yield the Demon Core to you?"
Lin Kuang spoke again, showing no sign of anger.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ku’s face changed again, and Lin Kuang did speak the truth.
"Hmph, my junior brother only spoke like that because he saw you were trying to take the Demon Core! Otherwise, why would he say such things?
Lin Kuang, enough talk, hand over the Demon Core, and I’ll spare you today, or suffer the consequences!"
Looking at Lin Kuang, Cheng Ku sneered, clearly not wanting to argue further with Lin Kuang.
After all, the mistake was originally theirs, and continued debate would surely reveal their flaws.
"I won’t give it, what can you do to me?"
Facing an extremely angry Cheng Ku, Lin Kuang spoke.
"Not giving? Not giving shall lead to death!
Senior brother, it’s him, eliminate him."
Glancing at the man beside him, Cheng Ku spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hui, standing beside Cheng Ku, felt a bit helpless, but after all, he was part of the Cheng Family faction, and his achievements today were due to Cheng Ku grandfather’s merit.
"Lin Kuang, one word, hand over the Demon Core, I’ll spare you."
Looking at Lin Kuang, Zhong Hui spoke.
"Stop nagging, I won’t give it, kill me if you can."
Lin Kuang said lightly.
Lin Kuang could sense that Zhong Hui’s Realm was higher than his, probably a True Realm Martial Artist, yet he wasn’t afraid, what’s so formidable about the True Scripture?
Hearing Lin Kuang’s words, Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes, the murderous intent flickering in his gaze.
"Very well, since you seek death, I’ll oblige you!"
He said, stepping forward to make a move on Lin Kuang.
"Hold on."
It was then that Lan Ji spoke.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Lan Ji, Zhong Hui frowned and asked.
"Who I am doesn’t matter, what matters is, this is the Mortal Fairyland, no fighting is allowed here.
Just like you can’t make a move inside Zhenlin City."
Lan Ji said calmly.
"I don’t care about the Mortal Fairyland, I want to fight, who dares stop me?!"
Zhong Hui laughed coldly, showing no fear of heaven or earth.
Upon hearing this, Lan Ji smiled: "Fine, do as you wish then."
Saying that, Lan Ji paid no further heed, simply shifting her gaze onto Lin Kuang, discreetly shaking her head towards him.
Lin Kuang said nothing, yet he understood Lan Ji’s meaning, she was advising him not to engage.
"It’s been a while since anyone dared to be this arrogant in Mortal Fairyland!
Even if your Sect Master from the Heavenly Spirit Sect came, they wouldn’t dare be this brazen. Youngster, you’ve gone too far!"
At this time, a faint voice sounded.
Simultaneously, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped Zhong Hui.
In a flash, Zhong Hui’s complexion changed drastically, unable to move, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
The pressure was immense, akin to when he usually saw the Sect Master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, even stronger.
"Contending Realm, it’s a master of Contending Realm!
This Mortal Fairyland is just a small tavern, why is there such an expert?"
Zhong Hui wondered with immense shock in his heart.
