<h4>Chapter 983: Chapter 990: Who’s Really Getting Revenge? (Part 1)</h4>


    "Am I really just spouting nonsense?" Ling Chen looked at Shi Su with a half-smile and said, "Ms. Shi, ask yourself honestly, have you thought about them? Or, have you told them about my background? I believe you haven’t, otherwise, even if they owed a life-saving debt, they wouldn’t joke with their lives. The times have changed, Ms. Shi, today’s Martial Arts world is not the same as it used to be. There’s no more life for a life concept. You saved someone’s life and expect them to repay with their own? Honestly, I don’t know if you’re naive or if I am."


    "You..." Shi Su looked at Ling Chen coldly, grinding her teeth in anger.


    "Ling Chen, don’t get cocky. Everyone, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s just trying to sow discord between us." After a pause, Shi Su continued, "What are the Eight Odd Men? You don’t need to be afraid; I’m here to back you up, and they won’t dare touch you. Don’t forget, I have the support of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    Hearing Shi Su mention the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, everyone’s courage suddenly surged.


    Indeed!


    What if Ling Chen is a member of the Eight Odd Men? Behind Shi Su stands the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; with such backing, there’s nothing to fear.


    Thinking of this, everyone’s gaze toward Ling Chen gradually grew fierce.


    Sensing the change in everyone’s gaze, Ling Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he strode forward and looked at the burly man in front of him, saying, "Don’t be fooled by her. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is no longer the Shi Family’s backing. If you don’t believe it, let Ms. Shi make a call to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in front of you and see which side they stand on."


    "Ling Chen, you’re just trying to buy time. Let me tell you, you won’t escape this cmity today." While speaking, Shi Su nced at the crowd and signaled to a man with her eyes.


    Thetter immediately understood and quickly stepped out of the crowd, saying in a deep voice, "Everyone, what are you hesitating for? Don’t forget, if it weren’t for the Shi Family back then, would you still be alive? Ms. Shi saved my life, allowing me to live to this day. Now, she needs our help, and yet we’re hesitating, unsure? Aren’t you ashamed? As people of the Martial Arts world, repay kindness, avenge grievances. If anyone is too scared, they can get lost right now and stop embarrassing themselves here."


    Hearing the man’s reprimand, everyone looked very ashamed and lowered their heads.


    Shi Su was very satisfied with this effect. Seeing no one backing down, the man nodded and said, "That’s more like it, finally acting like men. Since everyone’s made a decision, what are we waiting for?"


    As the words fell, the burly man in the lead immediately swung his fist forcefully towards Ling Chen’s head.


    Feeling the fierce wind carried by the fist, Ling Chen’s gaze intensified slightly, and he quickly stepped back, swiftly avoiding the menacing punch. At the same time, he employed the Nine Yang Qiankun Step, and his body instantly transformed into a shadow, shing past the burly man’s eyes. Before the opponent could react, Ling Chen had already moved to the man’s left side.


    "Watch out!"


    Seeing Ling Chen’s position, everyone’s expression changed slightly, and they hurriedly warned.


    However, the burly man’s reaction was still a step too slow. At the moment he turned his head, Ling Chen’s steel fist had already broken through the air, mming hard into his body. Instantly, the burly man’s body leaned slightly, his legs lost bnce, and he fell directly to the ground.


    Without waiting for the opponent to get up, Ling Chen seized the opportunity, grabbed the opponent’s neck, and turned his fist into two fingers, stabbing straight towards the burly man’s vital point.


    Seeing this, everyone was taken aback and hastily shouted, "Stop!"


    As the voices reached him, Ling Chen’s two fingers stopped,nding just above the vital point.


    "You lost!" Ling Chen withdrew his hand, stood up, and said, "If this were a real fight, your life would have already been mine."


    Hearing this, the burly man hurriedly got up from the ground, his face turning a mix of blue and red.


    "Ms. Shi, I... I wasn’t as good as him, I’ve let you down."


    "Useless trash." Shi Su snorted coldly, directly shifting her gaze to the other people present.


    The man who spoke earlier said, "Everyone, we’re not here for a single fight or a martialpetition today, so there’s no need to stick to the Martial Arts rules. Let’s all go together!" As he spoke, the man strode forward, beckoning to the people behind him to join in.


    "Haha!" Looking at the peopleing towards him, Ling Chen smiled slightly and said, "Ganging up, are we?"


    "So what if we are?" The man said arrogantly, "If you’ve got the skills, you can call people to help too."


    "Really?" Ling Chen’s smile widened, bing even more radiant. As he spoke, his gaze flicked over to Nanrong Hao, who nodded gently, immediately taking out his phone from his pocket and walking aside to make a call.


    Seeing Nanrong Hao’s action, Ling Chen chuckled, rxing his fists slightly.


    "Ms. Shi, I don’t know if you checked beforeing here, but East Sea City isn’t a ce just anyone cane to."


    "What do you mean?" Shi Su asked coldly.


    "I forgot to tell you, East Sea City is my territory, Ling Chen. You came to East Sea City looking for trouble with me. Honestly, I admire your guts." After a pause, Ling Chen pointed to the man in the crowd and said, "Ms. Shi, your friend just said, if I have the skills, I can call people too, right? In that case, I won’t hold back."


    As the words fell, the sound of car tires driving over could be heard nearby. In no time, over a dozen vans drove along the road by Wealthy Manor, stopping at the entrance of the Nanrong Family, surrounding everyone present.


    The car doors opened, and young people filed out, holding steel rods and machetes. A rough count showed nearly a hundred people, with great momentum, instantly suppressing Shi Su and her group’s aura.


    Seeing so many people suddenly appearing around, everyone present was stunned, especially the man who had spoken provocatively earlier, who was directly dumbfounded.


    "Ling Chen, you..."


    Before Shi Su could finish her words, Ling Chen interjected, "What about me? Ms. Shi, your friend made it very clear earlier, you came for revenge, no need to talk about rules and ethics. In that case, why should I be polite with you? All right, my people are here, if you still want to fight, I’ll apany you to the end."


    "Everyone, don’t be afraid!" The man who was in a daze finally came to his senses and quickly said, "We’re all martial artists, these are just street thugs. Not to mention a hundred, even if another hundrede, it’s no problem for us."


    "Good!" Ling Chen gave a thumbs up in praise, "Not bad, you have guts. I hope you’ll still be able to say thatter."
