Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 1937 - 1957: You Can’t Kill Me_1

Kong Ling stared at Lin Chen, a subtle smile with an undercurrent of provocation on his face.

Lin Chen smiled, unfazed.

Kong Ling’s growth rate indeed surpassed Lin Chen’s estimation. But after all, those who managed to stand on the top of a world were not mediocre. Given a bigger stage, they could shine even brighter.

"My word is my bond. It may not be possible now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be in the future," he declared.

Kong Ling sneered, "What if I’m always one step ahead of you, and you can’t do anything about it?"

Lin Chen responded, "We will only find out which of us is stronger in the future. Who can say for sure?"

Kong Ling burst into laughter, "If you want to use the Divine Soul Separation Technique on me, you have to satisfy two conditions. Firstly, you should have an absolute advantage in strength, enough to suppress me effortlessly and leave me unable to resist. Secondly, you have to find a body for me that I find satisfactory. It can’t be inferior to my Demon Spirit Body. Otherwise, I could take your father’s last will down with me, even if you could suppress me."

Lin Chen calmly asked, "Are you brave enough to perish together with me?"

Kong Ling stared directly at Lin Chen, "Give it a shot. Let’s see if I dare!"

Lin Chen didn’t get hung up on Kong Ling’s taunt. He remembered the two conditions Kong Ling set. Checking on Kong Ling’s current situation was his purpose for this visit.

"Seeing you’re now at the mid-Tianxian Stage, it looks like you’re doing well in the Heavenly Wolf Palace."

Kong Ling’s face darkened abruptly, "Well my ass!"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised, "You’ve promoted to Tianxian so quickly, don’t they value you in Heavenly Wolf Palace?"

Kong Ling replied sarcastically, "The title Demon Emperor sounds impressive. But if I could step over the Demon Emperor and prove myself even stronger, it would be even better!"

Lin Chen frowned, "Do you need my help?"

Kong Ling looked a bit surprised, then scoffed, "No need. Don’t worry, even if I get trampled on, it’s me, Kong Ling, who’s getting injured. It won’t affect your father’s body..."

"Moreover, what can you do to help? You may be an Immortal Palace Special Envoy, but this is the Heavenly Demon Continent where the demon race takes precedence. No one cares about the title of Immortal Palace Special Envoy here. Even if they show you respect, it’s only on the surface. Didn’t you see how you were told outright that you couldn’t enter the Heavenly Wolf Palace? They didn’t even let you in the door!"

Listening to Kong Ling vent about the Heavenly Wolf Palace made Lin Chen laugh, "It seems like you’re quite discontented with them."

Kong Ling scoffed, "It’s more than just discontentment, I am utterly displeased. If I have a chance, I will turn the Heavenly Wolf Palace upside down!"

Lin Chen laughed, "I wish you luck in achieving your goal sooner. Our relationship may be strange and far from friendly, but you are the Demon Emperor after all. If people keep bullying and trampling on you, I wouldn’t feel very comfortable with whoever your opponent is."

Kong Ling flatly replied, "Thanks for your blessing. You’ve seen me now and accomplished your goal. Do you have anything else to ask me?"

Lin Chen shook his head and asked casually, "Chen Kai said the Palace lord and a large number of strong people went out. Do you know what they are up to?"

Lin Chen asked this because he was wondering if their departure had anything to do with the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Going out on business?

Heh, they went to Yama, and they’ll never return.

"How should I know," Kong Ling answered casually, "Although I’m now a Tianxian, I’m merely a disciple in their eyes. Since I’m considered an outsider, why would they share their secrets with me?"

Lin Chen wasn’t suspicious. After all, Kong Ling joined the Heavenly Wolf Palace only after his ascension to immortality. Being treated differently was normal.

Having obtained no useful information, Lin Chen stood up, "Anyway, take care of yourself and watch over my father’s body for me. See you next time."

Kong Ling turned his gaze to Lin Chen and said, "If I kill you, will no one else come after this body?"

Lin Chen laughed, "You cannot kill me."

Kong Ling scoffed, "A Tianxian like me can’t kill an early-stage Golden Immortal like you?"

Lin Chen smiled confidently, "Even late-stage Tianxian or a Peak Celestial Immortal would say the same. But look at me, I’m still standing right in front of you."

Kong Ling gave a cold laugh and didn’t say anything else.

He had no real intention of hurting Lin Chen. After all, a multitude of formidable beings like Xuanyuan Feiying had given up on killing Lin Chen and hadn’t even entertained the idea of luring him into the sect to kill him. What did that mean?

It meant they believed that, even if he could manage to trick Lin Chen into the sect, it was highly unlikely they could kill him.

There were almost twenty of them, nearly all at the level of Peak Celestial Immortals.

And they couldn’t kill an early-stage Golden Immortal?

This kid seemed far more challenging than they’d thought.

"Kid, get out!"

Kong Ling strode coolly to his feet, waved casually at Lin Chen, and soon disappeared into the distance.

He didn’t say goodbye to Nalan Wushuang. Obviously, as a Demon Saintess, Nalan Wushuang choosing to be with Lin Chen had left him with a certain degree of resentment.

Watching Kong Ling’s retreating figure, Lin Chen’s face took on a serious expression.

Nalan Wushuang whispered, "Are you worried about his power growing too strong?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "He carries a strong smell of blood on him..."
