Looking down below with a slight frown, Li Chen was unconcerned.
He had already broken through his bottleneck, advancing to the late-stage of Foundation Establishnt. Both his cultivation and techniques had improved significantly.
As long as there was no Nascent Soul-level powerhouse on the opposing side, he could move freely.
Moreover, having just devoured the Soul Crystal Light Ball, a formidable energy surged within him uncontrollably, making him feel uncomfortable unless released.
"Li Chen, you’ve slain my disciple and destroyed my sect; East Spirit Pavilion and I will not rest until you’re dead!"
Qi Shan, seeing that Li Chen’s true cultivation was rely Foundation Establishnt, felt contempt.
His East Spirit Pavilion, thanks to Li Chen, was now in ruins. If he didn’t regain his footing, it would be tough to have a place in the world in the future.
Moreover, since the other party was a wanted criminal by the Cloud Sea Sect, capturing and killing him would an support from the Cloud Sea Sect.
Then, maybe their East Spirit Pavilion might turn misfortune into a blessing!
With a frown, Li Chen sneered nacingly: "Since you wish unending enmity, co and et your death!"
"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, you are just at the Foundation Establishnt. Watch how I slay you!"
Qi Shan angrily humd and conjured a Magic Sword wrapped in orange flas.
This was the treasured weapon of their East Spirit Pavilion, the Red Fla Sword, accidentally found by their ancestor in volcanic magma. When used to its fullest, it could lt mountains and boil oceans.
"Li Chen, take my sword!"
Qi Shan, holding the Red Fla Sword, resembling the reincarnation of Fire God Zhu Rong, leaped into the air and slashed towards Li Chen.
Seeing Qi Shan approaching, Li Chen’s deep eyes revealed a trace of disdainful smile.
He vigorously stimulated his True Yuan within, focusing it on the palm of his hand, and struck it forcefully like Tathagata’s Five Finger Mountain.
"Great Brahma Wisdom!"
Seeing Li Chen act so arrogantly and combat using his physical body, Qi Shan’s heart filled with a triumphant fierce smile.
"Break for !"
Qi Shan leaped up, slicing out a fla dragon from the Red Fla Sword, dancing like gold snakes, soaring into the sky. The burning flas made the entire void crackle like firecrackers.
"After many days, Brother Qi’s Red Fla Sword technique has improved again. In our entire Ningling County, I’m afraid very few can withstand this strike!"
The Prefectural Governor Ning Que, his eyes sharp as lightning, clapped his hands in praise.
Old Man Jiang and several other dignitaries also nodded in agreent, looking at Li Chen as if they were watching a dead man.
In their eyes, although Li Chen had an exceptional talent, he was still of Foundation Establishnt Cultivation and had not yet ford the Golden Core.
Although Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core differed only by one rank, they were worlds apart!
And this Li Chen, acting in such an overconfident manner, combating with his physical body without using a Divine Weapon—wasn’t this seeking death?
Just when everyone present thought Li Chen was about to fall, an unexpected event occurred.
Li Chen counter-rotated his hand, unexpectedly condensing a Thunder Light Ball in his palm.
The Thunder Light Ball, initially only the size of an egg, rapidly expanded once it leaped into the void.
In the blink of an eye, its size had exceeded that of the rooftops.
"Die!"
Li Chen, supporting the Thunder Light with one hand as if the Duke of Thunder had descended, furiously slamd it towards Qi Shan.
Qi Shan was greatly alard and subconsciously swung the Red Fla Sword to block.
"Boom!"
The giant Thunder Light, carrying the power to destroy heavens and earth, pressed down on Qi Shan. The fla dragon he had cut out was like a paper tiger, instantly obliterated.
"Ahh!"
A horrifying scream rang out, and Qi Shan’s body turned into a charred lump, crashing down hard on the granite-paved ground, creating a deep depression.
There Qi Shan lay, lifeless.
In an instant, the venue fell deathly silent!
No matter if it was Ning Que, Old Man Jiang, or those ordinary disciples and Loose Cultivators, all were dumbfounded.
Qi Shan is a Golden Core Late Stage expert, dominating Ningling County with virtually no rivals. To be killed on the spot by a re junior at the Foundation Establishnt level in a brief exchange?
In the Cultivation Realm, although there are precedents like Li Chen, who, with Foundation Establishnt Cultivation, has killed Golden Core experts across ranks, these are only Heaven’s Chosen Sons and Holy Daughters from the top ten Super Sects, who could do so by relying on top-grade Magical Treasures.
But Li Chen did it without even using a weapon, purely with the physical strength of his body, he smashed the opponent to death.
Jiang Tianxing and Sun Tian Tian looked at each other, both involuntarily inhaling a breath of cold air.
A month ago, they had crossed hands with Li Chen.
At that ti, although Li Chen was already very formidable, the two of them together still had a fighting chance.
Facing a Golden Core Talisman, he was still apprehensive and dared not clash directly with it.
But now, let alone a Golden Core Talisman, even a genuine Golden Core expert could be killed with one palm by him.
Such a growth rate is simply terrifying. Even Jian Wuheng of Heavenly Sword Mountain, would probably be left far behind, right?
"This Li Chen brat, he must have seized the inheritance in the Soul Tower to beco so domineering!"
Old Man Jiang’s eyes slightly narrowed, burning with a greedy fla.
Others also deeply agreed; this seed to be the only explanation.
Suddenly, their gazes towards Li Chen were filled with scorching greed.
Li Chen had just received an inheritance; if they could kill him, they could forcibly deprive him of his fortune.
From the talent he had just displayed, he was comparable to the prodigies and Holy Daughters of the Heavenly Sects. If he diligently practiced, in a hundred years, unless he perished prematurely, he could definitely beco a peak figure dominating the Cloud Sea Continent and even the entire Cultivation Realm.
Right when they were all restless with eagerness, a black afterimage holding a glinting Fish Intestine Sword suddenly broke through the void, rushing towards Li Chen.
"Is this the King of Assassins, Black Hawk?"
Soone recognized the identity of the shadow, imdiately exclaiming.
Black Hawk was a wanted criminal who had once sneaked into Chuyun Palace, stealing countless treasures and even forcibly violating a princess.
The Chuyun Kingdom had once offered a bounty of 1 million Spirit Stones for him, but his movent technique was extrely peculiar, and he was adept at various underhanded thods, always managing to narrowly escape. Even a Nascent Soul Great Power personally took action but failed to capture him.
But to everyone’s surprise, he had co to Ningling County. And at this critical mont, he suddenly made a move against Li Chen!
Ning Que and the others had not noticed Black Hawk’s presence, but Li Chen, who excelled in the Insight Divine Power, saw everything clearly.
Black Hawk’s speed was indeed noteworthy. Among those he had encountered since his rebirth, he was the fastest, probably ten tis the speed of sound.
If Li Chen hadn’t progressed to the late-stage of Foundation Establishnt, this sudden attack might have seriously wounded him.
Unfortunately, now there was no chance!
With a flash, Black Hawk approached closely, his slender Fish Spleen Dagger like a long-hidden viper fiercely striking at its prey, swift and unmatched.
"Haha, the fortune of this Soul Tower is mine!"
Unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Black Hawk’s eyes were sharp as lightning, rippling with excitent.
"Crack!"
His fierce stab passed through, but instead of the expected splatter of blood, he heard a crisp tallic clanging sound.
At this mont, Li Chen’s body was enveloped by a golden bell, dazzling and magnificent, akin to a reincarnated Ancient God or Buddha.
This was the Domineering Longevity Body!
"How, how, how is this possible?"
Black Hawk’s eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
"Humph, you think it’s impossible to encounter , Li Chen?"
Li Chen’s face showed a fierce smile, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuations, looking at Black Hawk as though he was looking at a dead man.
"Not good, escape imdiately!"
As a wanted criminal who often walked the edge between life and death, Black Hawk was all too familiar with this feeling. With a thought, his body turned into a black lightning, breaking through the void and fleeing.
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Chen’s eyes flashed a hint of disdainful cold sneer.
"Humph, you think you can escape?"
