"Fellow Daoist Zhang Heng, we’re all here for the examination. We might even be fellow sect mbers in the future, so let’s not hurt the harmony!"
Li Tong seed to know the white-robed man and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Zhang Heng’s face was full of disdain, and he shouted, "Tch, just a loose cultivator from a poor family. How dare he call himself one of us Heavenly Pride!"
After saying this, he turned again to Li Tong, giving a cold and sarcastic rebuke.
"Li Tong, you’re a legitimate son of the Li Family in Chu City. How could you stoop so low to mix with this poor family cultivator? You’re really disgracing us aristocratic family Heavenly Pride!"
Li Chen quietly watched him, coldly asking, "Are you done talking?"
Zhang Heng, seeing Li Chen’s unfriendly gaze, forced a smile and said, "What, do you still want to hit ?"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t hit you!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhang Heng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, as if a poor family cultivator like you would dare lay a hand on this young master!"
Li Chen sneered coldly and said indifferently, "I won’t hit you, but I will kill you!"
Hearing Li Chen say he would kill him, Zhang Heng was initially stunned, then imdiately burst into laughter.
"Haha, did I hear wrong? With your level of cultivation, you haven’t even ford a Golden Core. I’m afraid ten of you together wouldn’t be as strong as one of my fingers, and you still dare boast about killing ? Dream on!"
Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged, and he coldly asked, "Do you believe I can make you see your own brains?"
Zhang Heng, seeing Li Chen’s eyes suddenly sharpen, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of fear in his heart.
However, he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
Moreover, he was a Heavenly Pride of an aristocratic family and had always looked down on poor family cultivators.
The pride of a Heavenly Pride would not allow him to back down!
"Such boasting, if you have the guts, co at then?"
Li Chen coldly smiled and said, "Alright, then watch closely!"
By this ti, Zhang Heng was furious. This poor family cultivator dared to humiliate him in front of so many people.
Today, no matter who pleaded, he intended to cripple the opponent; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to vent his hatred.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Li Chen later, a silver-white shadow flashed before his eyes.
In an instant, a blood-soaked head exploded before him. The white, brain-like substance splattered like rain.
Zhang Heng really saw his own brains!
Unfortunately, he could only see it this once.
"Hiss!"
Witnessing this unbelievable sight, everyone present gasped in shock.
No one expected that this poor family cultivator would really have the audacity to strike and slay Zhang Heng.
As everyone was left gaping in stunned silence, two figures arrived swiftly.
It was a man and a woman!
These were the two hot contenders most likely to win the entrance examination this ti, Lii Tiancai and Songg Zhen’er!
Lii Tiancai glanced at Zhang Heng’s headless body, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
After all, Zhang Heng was sothing of a distant cousin to him.
Though they didn’t interact often, they were still relatives.
Now, his relative had been publicly slain, his body lying in the street. This was a direct slap to his face.
Lii Tiancai’s face turned ashen, and he looked frighteningly gloomy.
"Who did this?"
Before he could finish speaking, everyone around instinctively stepped back.
Even Li Tong looked at Li Chen with an apologetic gaze, helplessly shaking his head as he was pulled aside by his companions.
In an instant, Li Chen was left alone on the large open ground.
Zhang Heng’s corpse lay between him and Lii Tiancai.
Lii Tiancai pointed at Zhang Heng’s body and asked forcefully, "Did you kill him?"
Li Chen nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Lii Tiancai’s face twisted in fury, and he roared, "Why did you kill him?"
Li Chen calmly replied, "Because he deserved to die!"
After saying this, he looked at Lii Tiancai again and said matter-of-factly, "If you don’t want to end up like him, lying dead here, then step aside and don’t block my path!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lii Tiancai was first startled, then his anger turned to laughter.
"Good, good, good. You’re the first to dare threaten in public; you’ve got guts!"
When he uttered "you’ve got guts," he even gave a thumbs-up in Li Chen’s direction.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen shook his head sowhat helplessly.
"Isn’t living a good life better? Why insist on seeking death?"
Lii Tiancai, seeing that Li Chen, a poor family cultivator, dared to ridicule him in public, imdiately beca consud with rage.
"Hmph, the one seeking death is you!"
As he shouted in mid-air, the True Yuan within him suddenly surged, shooting straight towards the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Seeing such fierce and domineering True Yuan, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a surge of shock in their hearts.
"Such rampant power, it seems Lii Tiancai is only a step away from becoming a true Nascent Soul Great Power!"
"Although Lii Tiancai isn’t a real Nascent Soul yet, he’s better than one. I heard that just the Nascent Soul Great Powers who have fallen to his hand are no less than three!"
"Lii Tiancai is so formidable, he can even kill Nascent Soul Great Powers over levels!"
To this new generation of cultivators, Nascent Soul Great Power is the ultimate dream, thought of day and night.
Songg Zhen’er nearby, seeing Lii Tiancai display such violent strength, couldn’t help but furrow her delicate brows.
This ti in the entrance examination, Lii Tiancai was undoubtedly her biggest obstacle to winning first place.
Originally, she thought her chances against Lii Tiancai were fifty-fifty.
Now it seems she has underestimated this opponent.
Thinking of this, she cast a sympathetic glance towards Li Chen.
Of all people to provoke, why choose to provoke a Heavenly Pride like Lii Tiancai!
In a mont, everyone cast sympathetic glances at Li Chen.
Of course, there were quite a few who took pleasure in his misfortune.
But Li Chen ignored them all directly.
Because he knew that the one who would die would certainly not be him, Li Chen!
"Go to hell for !"
Lii Tiancai’s sinister eyes burst with fierce light, and the Magic Sword in his hand drew a silvery arc in mid-air, slashing towards Li Chen.
Li Chen stood his ground, unmoving like a mountain!
He didn’t even have the interest to resist, letting the opponent’s sword stab forth.
His Domineering Longevity Body has already reached Great Success, not to ntion a half-step Nascent Soul, even a half-step God Transformation couldn’t hurt him at all.
"Clang!"
Lii Tiancai’s sword struck Li Chen, producing a burst of sparks.
Originally, this was a deadly strike, but when it hit Li Chen, it left him entirely unscathed.
Li Chen casually brushed the dust off his clothes and said coldly, "Is that all the strength you have? It’s not even enough to scratch an itch!"
Lii Tiancai’s face changed drastically, full of disbelief.
One should know that even though he didn’t use his full strength for that strike, he still utilized seventy to eighty percent.
Even a Nascent Soul Great Power wouldn’t dare take that strike directly.
Yet the opponent not only took it but remained unscathed; it was simply unbelievable.
Li Chen looked at the shocked Lii Tiancai, shook his head, and sighed lightly.
"Sigh, isn’t it good to live? Why must you seek death?"
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, sending out a Sword Intent that directly pierced through Lii Tiancai’s throat Life Gate.
"Splurt!"
Blood poured like a waterfall, dyeing the sky and all eyes crimson.
At once, the most hopeful contender for victory, Lii Tiancai, fell back into a pool of blood, his eyes wide open in shock.
"Hiss!"
The entire scene was struck with shock, falling silent!
None dared to believe their eyes, even though they saw it firsthand, they still couldn’t believe it was true.
Li Chen maintained a calm air, casually dusting off his sleeve, and glanced at Songg Zhen’er, who remained blocking his way.
"Do you also think living isn’t good?"
Songg Zhen’er was taken aback by Li Chen’s sudden question, then fearfully lowered her head, trembling as she repeatedly said, "I don’t dare, I don’t dare."
Li Chen smiled lightly and said, "Since you don’t dare, why not clear the way?"
Frightened, Songg Zhen’er quickly lowered her head, stepping aside to open a path.
The others, seeing this, all bowed their heads too, not daring to et Li Chen’s gaze, let alone provoke him like before.
After all, the bloody consequences of Lii Tiancai and Zhang Heng were right before their eyes!
This is soone who would kill at a word, not soone they could dare offend.
Li Chen didn’t even spare them a glance, striding towards Heavenly Thunder Mountain.
He looked up at the towering stele, on which powerful Sword Intent carved out three bold characters.
Heavenly Thunder Sect!
Li Chen smiled coldly and transford his fingers into a sword, like Rainbow Piercing the Sun, slashing through the sky.
"Crack!"
The stele, standing for over ten thousand years, shattered with a roar.
Amidst the startling scene, Li Chen stood in mid-air and called out loudly:
"Li Chen, Emperor Fla Dragon, specifically cos to challenge the mountain!"
