Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2298: Chapter 2299: Human Nature (Seventh Update)

”Idiot.”

Lin Chen shook his head. If it were really as simple as the woman said, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.

”Then it depends on your sincerity.”

After the woman’s words fell, the man facing the burly man with the beard looked at the woman, a hint of amusement on his face.

Hearing this, the woman tightly gripped the pill in her hand, then pursed her lips and moved across.

”No!”

The bearded man hurriedly stopped her, grabbing her wrist with urgency, then looked angrily at the man in front of them.

”Zhong Ning, don’t go too far. We can give you the thing, but isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

Spoke the bearded man, his face filled with anger.

”Strength is the law. What’s inappropriate about it? If your strength far surpassed mine, this wouldn’t have happened. Blame your lack of power.”

Zhong Ning brushed his hand, his gaze icy, then waved at the woman, saying, ”If you don’t come over, you’ll all die here.”

Zhong Ning’s expression was cold, his finger lightly hooked with an air of undeniable command.

Upon hearing this, the woman tried to break free, but the bearded man held her wrist tightly, making her unable to move an inch.

This scene caused the few people originally protected behind the bearded man to change their expressions.

”Tang Ming, you can’t be so selfish. Let her go, or else we’ll all die here!”

”Yes, if it were me, I’d go. After all, one person exchanging for so many lives is a great thing.”

Among those behind Tang Ming, some began speaking for those on the opposite side.

Particularly one older woman, with heavy makeup on her face, perhaps trying to appear younger, yet the makeup had the opposite effect.

The heavily made-up woman spoke, twisting her waist, making the men opposite shudder. They turned their heads to look at the woman from before.

Though she wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, she carried the demeanor of a refined young lady, and her fresh appearance drew much attention.

”You guys...”

Tang Ming turned his stiff head back, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity with these former companions.

Even though they had just formed a temporary group when entering the forest, during this time, Tang Ming and this woman were the strongest and had protected and helped them a lot. But now...

”I’ll count to three. If you don’t come over, you’ll all die.”

Zhong Ning’s tone was calm, yet the implication was unmistakable. He glanced over the people present, while two figures behind him moved to the sides, ready to act.

”Three.” Zhong Ning slowly extended his finger, his face still filled with mockery, like a cat playing with a mouse.

”Tang Ming! If you don’t let her go, I won’t hold back!”

Behind him, a man shouted angrily. With his life on the line, he couldn’t bother with companionship, glaring angrily at Tang Ming, a glimmer of cold light flashing in his hand.

The woman turned back in surprise, her face equally displeased.

Voluntarily offering is one thing, but being forcibly demanded is quite another, especially since this man had recently been courting her, a transformation that left her stunned.

”That’s why, never count on human nature.” Lin Chen shook his head. When life is at stake, how many can truly hold on to their integrity?

”Two.” Like a grim reaper’s chant, Zhong Ning continued the countdown.

”Let’s attack together! Better he dies than all of us here!”

The man’s hand emitted a cold light, and after subtly signaling to the people beside him, they all saw the murderous intent in each other’s eyes.

Three of them stepped forward, leaving the heavily made-up woman and another person standing still.

As the three moved, Zhong Ning also stopped talking, signaling the figures originally moving to the sides to halt as well.

They watched from outside like spectators, interested in the scene they had orchestrated.

Shouts!

Angry shouts echoed as the three rushed out from behind Tang Ming together.

The trio’s strength wasn’t high. Lin Chen glanced down—they were at most at the seventh level of the Spirit Refining realm, and their attacking stances were full of flaws. In his prime, Tang Ming wouldn’t fear them at all.

But now, Tang Ming was severely injured, with several bones broken, blood seeping from his body. Most importantly, his eyes were filled with disbelief, slowing his reactions.

As their attacks came close, he found himself with no chance to counter, his shocked pupils reflecting their grim faces.

”How could it come to this...”

Tang Ming mumbled to himself in disbelief.

”Sigh.”

As the cold lights were about to invade Tang Ming, Lin Chen, positioned atop a tree, finally intervened.

His figure was ghost-like, descending from the tree without using the Tianyan Ancient Sword. Relying on his fists, he collided with the three figures.

The sounds of impacts rang out almost simultaneously, and the blades about to slash Tang Ming’s skin, due to Lin Chen’s intervention, only tore his clothes, leaving Tang Ming unharmed.

”Ah...”

Screams followed half a breath later as those people felt the pain from the areas Lin Chen struck.

Perhaps Lin Chen found their actions intolerable, and when he acted, he didn’t hold back. But the injuries were not fatal, sufficient to cause pain without death.

”Who are you?”

Among the group, Zhong Ning had the strongest power. His mocking expression faded as he looked at Lin Chen as if facing a great opponent.

Lin Chen’s speed alone had already shocked him—that level of skill made him quite the troublesome figure.

”I’m here to take your head!”

Lin Chen turned, looking calmly at Zhong Ning in front of him, and said.

”Ha, aren’t you underestimating me too much?” Zhong Ning glared angrily, exuding fury as he stared at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s dismissive tone deeply displeased him!
