The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1165: The Death of Jian Chen

"Apologies. I have nothing to say."

Before Ling Feng could finish speaking, Murong Zining frowned and cut him off coldly. "The secret treasure belongs to those who have the strength and the fate to obtain it. Someone of your weak cultivation would gain nothing even if you knew where it was."

Ling Feng smiled faintly and shook his head. When the other Inner Sea geniuses had questioned her earlier, Murong Zining had answered them all with grace and composure. Yet she clearly looked down on Ling Feng.

This drew quiet laughter from several of the Inner Sea geniuses. The frustration they had felt earlier was instantly eased, replaced by mocking amusement as they looked at Ling Feng.

"How arrogant. He really thinks having a bit of money makes him special?"

"Heh! Status and heritage aren't things that money can buy. No matter how rich he is, he's still a nobody and could never catch Miss Murong's eye."

"Who does he think he is? Miss Murong isn't someone just anyone can talk to. What a fool."

...

Jian Chen saw all this and felt secretly delighted. Putting on a sympathetic face, he stepped forward as if to mediate. "Brothers, there's no need to be so harsh on this young friend. I imagine he was simply overwhelmed by Miss Murong's beauty and lost his composure for a moment."

At the same time, he sent a spiritual consciousness transmission. Kid, I'm helping you. Watch what you say and know your place!

Ling Feng sneered inwardly. Words from someone like Jian Chen were no different from the stench of rotting garbage.

He completely ignored him and turned a calm gaze toward Murong Zining. Women like her always carried themselves as if they were above everyone else. In his eyes, she was nothing more than another superficial woman.

Compared to her, the proud yet sincere Tuoba Yan was far more endearing.

"Forget it," Ling Feng said quietly. "Some people only know how to look down on others. I have nothing more to ask."

With that, he returned to his seat, no longer showing the slightest interest in the so-called princess of Tianhuang City. He was entering the Sea of Miracles for only one purpose: to slay gods!

"You are insolent!"

His indifference immediately enraged the so-called geniuses of the Inner Sea. Murong Zining herself had yet to say anything, but her admirers were already shouting in outrage.

"How dare you speak so rudely to Miss Murong! Apologize now, or I'll make you wish you'd never been born!"

"Miss Murong is not someone a worthless wretch like you can speak of so casually. Kneel and apologize, or you'll face the wrath of every Inner Sea genius here!"

...

"Kneel!"

"Apologize!"

The self-proclaimed geniuses pressed forward aggressively, eager to humiliate Ling Feng in public.

So what if he has money? Wealth is meaningless without strength!

In their eyes, he was still trash.

Ling Feng simply shook his head and smiled. These self-proclaimed geniuses of the Inner Sea liked to boast of their genius, yet their behavior was shallow and petty. Every one of them was arrogant and intolerant, unable to stomach anyone weaker or stronger than themselves. With hearts like these, their future achievements would always remain limited. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Having reached that conclusion, Ling Feng decided it was not worth wasting another moment here.

But Jian Chen stepped forward, eager to impress Murong Zining, and blocked his path.

"If you insist on courting death," Jian Chen said, "you can't blame me for what happens next!"

A flicker of violet light flashed across Ling Feng's eyes.

In the next instant, two screams tore through the air. Cold Sword Shusheng and Jian Chen both clutched their heads in agony. Before anyone could react, a sharp gleam of light flashed past.

A wet, slicing sound followed.

A head flew high into the air, spinning as blood gushed upward like a crimson fountain.

The sight made everyone in the hall shudder from head to toe.

Young Master Jian Chen was dead.

With a heavy thud, his body crashed to the ground. Only then did the crowd realize this was not an illusion but reality.

Jian Chen was truly dead!
