Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038

The hall was silent, everyone was dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

They had all heard of the legendary reputations of the Four Sword Kings, but never in their wildest dreams did they expect the invincible Ichikuma Chida, who had instilled fear across the entire Island Nation Sword Dao, to be defeated by Lin Chen in a single blow.

Looking at the fallen Four Sword Kings, Ichikuma Chida's body slightly trembled, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, his eyes filled with shock.

Ikeda Yuki was trembling all over. He knew very well the strength of the Four Sword Kings, yet he never imagined that Lin Chen would incapacitate them so effortlessly. What kind of monster had he offended?

Ye Zi watched as Lin Chen defeated the Four Sword Kings in one move and finally felt at ease, yet she was still utterly shocked by the strength Lin Chen had displayed.

Sasaki looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, completely in awe of this young man.

"Mr. Lin, you are amazing." Sasaki's eyes glowed, now realizing how right he was to decide to follow Lin Chen.

"Just these few guys can sweep the Island Nation's Sword Dao? That's downright laughable." Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

Seeing his subordinates eliminated by Lin Chen, Ichikuma Chida felt a chill run through his heart.

He knew that the Four Sword Kings and their powerful protector were the foundation of the Chida Corporation, and never in his dreams did he think that he would lose so much in one battle, losing everything he had.

But Ichikuma Chida was a seasoned fox, after all. He steadied his mind and stared coldly at Lin Chen: "Kid, you're ruthless, what do you really want?"

"What do I want? It's simple, pay a ransom." Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

"Lin Chen, don't go too far, you've wounded so many of my experts and now you want me to pay a ransom?" Ichikuma Chida's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity.

"Since you brought people here, you should have expected the consequences. They were defeated because they were not as skilled, they deserved it. What does it have to do with me?"

"How much do you want?" Ichikuma Chida said coldly.

"One hundred million." Lin Chen smiled faintly.

"You... I'll fight you!" Hearing Lin Chen's exorbitant demand, Ichikuma Chida was enraged, and trembling all over, suddenly made a move, swinging his fist at Lin Chen.

Ichikuma Chida was very sinister. No one expected him to suddenly attack while negotiating with Lin Chen.

His iron fist swung swiftly and fiercely, directly aiming at Lin Chen's face.

This punch carried all of Ichikuma Chida's power, intending to smash Lin Chen with one blow. The immense momentum made many people's hearts tremble.

However, seeing the iron fist enlarging before his eyes, Lin Chen's lips curled slightly, and he calmly but firmly punched back.

The two fists collided instantly, and Ichikuma Chida felt a surge of force exploding into his right arm.

With a scream, Ichikuma Chida felt like the bones in his entire right arm had been shattered by the force.

Clutching his broken arm, Ichikuma Chida's body trembled.

"Now the price has gone up. You need two hundred million to ransom your son." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Pfft!" Ichikuma Chida spat out a mouthful of blood.

In less than half an hour, the price had doubled, which was simply outrageous.

"Lin Chen, you're going too far." Ichikuma Chida glared at Lin Chen, anger blazing in his eyes.

"Too far? I'm just bullying you, what can you do about it?" Lin Chen looked as nonchalant as if he didn't care about infuriating others.

Two hundred million, Ichikuma Chida could afford it, but if he really did it, he would be ruined and how could he stand firm in Shinjuku again in the future?

But if he didn't pay, judging by Lin Chen's overwhelming presence, he might not even be able to leave alive today.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Just when Ichikuma Chida was in a dilemma, accompanied by applause, an elderly gentleman beside him finally walked over.

Seeing the old man, Lin Chen's heart chilled, his gaze becoming slightly grave.

"Young man, someone as young as you having such strength is indeed impressive, but it's a pity you're too arrogant, so you must die."

Everyone was stunned to see the old man come out, wondering who this old man was, speaking so arrogantly.

Because Lin Chen had already shown his strength, yet the opponent still spoke so arrogantly, many people were curious about the old man's identity.

"Old man, do you have a death wish?" Sasaki furiously charged forward but was stopped by Lin Chen.

"Don't seek death, he could kill you with a flick of a finger." Lin Chen said calmly.

"What!" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Sasaki froze.

"Are you the Demon God?" Lin Chen stared at the old man and said.

"Yes, that's me." The Demon God said indifferently.

Upon hearing that the old man beside him was actually the Demon God, Ichikuma Chida's face changed instantly.

His full attention had just been focused on Lin Chen, barely noticing the old man nearby.

"Ancestor, you have returned." Ichikuma Chida kneeled in front of the old man, his gaze filled with reverence.

The Demon God gestured for Ichikuma Chida to rise, then turned his gaze to Lin Chen.

The old man walked towards Lin Chen step by step, his gaze focused, and a cold aura suddenly emanated from his body, causing the entire hall to become as cold as an ice cellar. Standing next to Lin Chen, Sasaki trembled, feeling as if a massive iceberg was descending.

Lin Chen snorted coldly, also emitting a blazing aura from his body, causing the hall's temperature to return to normal. Sasaki let out a sigh of relief, as he had just felt as if he was about to be crushed completely.

The Demon God was momentarily taken aback by the aura emanating from Lin Chen, then a cold sneer crossed his lips, "Kid, you have some skill, but tomorrow at the foot of Mount Fuji is where you will meet your death," the Demon God said coldly.

"Very well, I'll be waiting for you." Lin Chen smiled calmly.

"Demon God!" Hearing this name, everyone was dumbfounded.

In the Island Nation, the name Demon God was legendary.

The Demon God was born into obscurity but was obsessed with martial arts from a young age.

However, in the class-strict Island Nation, no one wanted to take in someone from such a low background.

The Demon God sought mentorship several times, only to be humiliated and driven away.

Since then, the Demon God disappeared from the public eye, going deep into the mountains for training.

He used tigers and leopards as his martial art partners, and birds and snakes for company. Years flew by.

When he re-emerged in the public eye, he was like a wild man.

But this wild man overturned the entire martial arts scene of the Island Nation.

He challenged everywhere, defeating all the famous schools and martial arts halls in the Island Nation and even massacred the sects that once insulted him.

From then on, a name that instilled fear appeared in the Island Nation's martial arts world: "Demon God!"

The Demon God had not appeared in the Island Nation for a long time; some said he had secluded himself in the mountains, others said he had died. It wasn't until a year ago, when several of his disciples swept through the Island Nation and even Asia, that he reappeared in the public eye.

Now that the Demon God appeared again, everyone felt that a storm of blood and rain was about to sweep through the entire Island Nation.
