Chapter 1166: Chapter 1138: Suppression
Among the people present, only Ouyang Wan’er and the other two won vaguely knew that Li Chen’s strength was formidable. But they were still unclear about just how strong he was.
They only vaguely guessed that the mysterious appearance and disappearance of a sound at the ball that night might be related to Li Chen.
Moreover, when Li Chen returned, he was obviously wearing different clothes, though they didn’t ntion it, they inferred that Li Chen might have been through a battle.
Ouyang Wan’er’s perception was the clearest; even though the owner of that sound didn’t appear that night, she could sense from the undetectable sound alone that the opponent was definitely a formidable warrior.
A warrior so powerful she couldn’t resist!
That warrior could not be compared to the current stubbled man.
She had faced Black Rope strong opponents before, but the owner of that sound likely surpassed the Black Rope Rank!
Also, during the battle with Miao Sang, Sun Lieyang appeared. Although Ouyang Wan’er didn’t see the specific combat between the two, she could faintly feel the terrifying, earth-shaking aura of their battle.
Yet, Li Chen erged unscathed in the end.
Even such formidable warriors could do nothing against Li Chen. Could a re small scene trouble him?
Ouyang Wan’er wasn’t worried at all.
From start to finish, she never panicked.
Because she was sure in her heart that with Li Chen present, today’s matter would not be a problem.
The sound that rattled the entire valley startled everyone, many turned their heads instinctively, faces filled with shock.
Only Ouyang Wan’er had a face full of indifference.
The punch of Li Chen, concentrated from True Qi, directly shattered the full-powered attribute attack of the stubbled man. The giant ball of teorite created from earth attribute was directly crushed into pieces by Li Chen’s fist.
The stubbled man within was also punched out, his body transforming into a teor, violently crashing into the distant valley stone wall, embedding deeply inside.
Many people hurriedly stopped fighting, faces sowhat pale as they stared at the stubbled man embedded in the stone wall, expressions deeply complicated.
That was a genuine Black Rope Rank warrior!
A terrifying existence capable of sweeping most of them here!
But now, he was defeated with just one punch?
How could this be?
Many who previously judged that Li Chen’s strength wasn’t significant now had ugly expressions on their faces, even the disciples of Hongng Pavilion felt their faces heat with embarrassnt.
Standing beside Li Chen, Chu Xi had an expression of disbelief; she didn’t know how Li Chen accomplished it, but when he released that punch, a hint of breath that she barely perceived made her entire mind spirit tremble slightly.
His strength is actually greater than mine? And so much stronger?
Li Chen seed to have anticipated the surrounding reactions, withdrew his fist, clapped his hands, and said to the group of Hongng Pavilion disciples, “What are you looking at? Hurry and clean up the battlefield?”
After speaking, Li Chen looked at the remaining people on the stubbled man’s side: “Now, your Black Rope Rank warrior is gone, and on our side, there are two above Black Rope Rank combat powers, do you still plan to persist?”
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, many instinctively looked at those around them, discovering that everyone had the sa expression as themselves, each showing a look of dejection.
Facing such strong warriors, they indeed lacked the confidence for a head-on confrontation.
To many, confronting a strong opponent takes courage. But knowingly doing the impossible is foolishness.
The group that ca along with the stubbled man all gave up resistance, chased to one side by the Hongng Pavilion disciples.
The chaotic battle finally ceased.
At this ti, Li Chen couldn’t help but glance over at Chu Xi beside him, softly asking, “That Heart-Cleansing Lotus, was it really discovered by you first?”
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Chu Xi, who seed to still be in a daze, suddenly reacted, glaring at Li Chen, “Do you think we’re that untrustworthy? Of course, it was discovered by us first!”
Seeing Chu Xi almost threateningly vouch for it, Li Chen nodded.
He wasn’t like Ouyang Wan’er, with a simple and trusting nature. He tended to maintain a skeptical attitude toward everything and then cautiously seek confirmation.
This has been his habit for many years, hard to change, but he felt it was just fine.
Being cautious is never a bad thing.
“Um, could I borrow the Heart-Cleansing Lotus to take a look first?” Only after the stubbled man was driven far away did Li Chen speak to Chu Xi.
He knew that since Chu Xi was the leader, she should have the most authority among this group of Hongng Pavilion disciples, so he naturally asked her first.
“You want this Heart-Cleansing Lotus?” Chu Xi’s expression appeared sowhat cautious.
Although Li Chen helped them, having just t him, she didn’t wholly trust this man either.
This Heart-Cleansing Lotus was obtained by these disciples with great effort; while Li Chen helped imnsely, she needed to account for her fellow disciples.
“No,” Li Chen shook his head, “I’m just curious about it, borrowing it for a look will suffice.”
“Then…” Chu Xi glanced at Ouyang Wan’er beside her, then nodded, “Alright, you can see for yourself.”
“Thanks.” Li Chen nodded and approached the Heart-Cleansing Lotus standing quietly at the edge of the valley.
“Is this thing the Heart-Cleansing Lotus?”
Looking at this pure white lotus flower before him, Li Chen’s expression appeared sowhat strange.
Honestly, it greatly resembled the white lotus he initially found with the Ginseng Doll, but upon closer inspection, there were different aspects.
In terms of aura, it was entirely different.
But what most puzzled Li Chen was that this lotus growing in the rock swayed with a unique rhythm as if naturally drawing one to imrse in it.
Li Chen extended his hand, gently placed it on the Heart-Cleansing Lotus, and quietly closed his eyes.
Originally, so Hongng Pavilion disciples saw Li Chen reaching for the Heart-Cleansing Lotus and wanted to stop him—after all, they worked hard for it, and he couldn’t just harvest it.
But seeing Li Chen didn’t make the next move, they swallowed their words.
The surroundings beca calm; Li Chen remained silent, quietly starting to experience the unique rhythm emanating from the Heart-Cleansing Lotus.
“This is…” Suddenly, Li Chen’s brows furrowed, then relaxed, showing an irrepressible hint of joy on his face, eyes tightly shut.
