MTLNOVEL Chapter 720: I Didn't Expect You to Come to Me!
As Li Xinghuai's words ceased, the Demonic Qi surged towards Lu Chen, seemingly intent on killing him.
However, Lu Chen showed no fear on his face. He sat quietly in his place, waiting for Li Xinghuai's Demonic Qi to arrive.
Just when everyone from the other sects thought Lu Chen was doomed, Li Xinghuai's Demonic Qi seemed to encounter some sort of obstruction, unable to get closer to Lu Chen.
This...
Seeing his Demonic Qi halting in front of Lu Chen, Li Xinghuai was entirely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Why can't my Demonic Qi harm this person?
Everyone present also froze, for it was clear Li Xinghuai had just attempted to kill, he wouldn't have held back. Now, with the Demonic Qi lingering in front of the man, it was obvious that he had utilized some method to block it.
Does the Misty Immortal Sect actually have someone who can resist the erosion of Demonic Qi?
At this moment, Li Xinghuai felt increasingly dismayed, and the sense of crisis in his heart grew stronger. With a dark face, he demanded, "Who are you!"
Instead of answering Li Xinghuai's question, Lu Chen fired back, "Sect Master Su, you haven't yet told me where your Heavenly Demon Power comes from, as the Tianchen World certainly doesn't have any Heavenly Demons. You're not bluffing, are you?"
Seeing Lu Chen's disbelief, Li Xinghuai sneered and said, "This seat has never claimed that the Heavenly Demon Power within me comes from the Tianchen World."
Lu Chen then said indifferently, "If it's not from the Tianchen World, then it must be from the neighboring Ziyang World. I didn't expect Sect Leader Li to be in cahoots with the enemies of the Ziyang World."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinghuai's heart quivered.
Then, he said coldly, "Who on earth are you!"
While he spoke, the Demonic Qi around Li Xinghuai surged, the pressure making even the cultivators present find it difficult to breathe.
Seeing Li Xinghuai's strong reaction, Lu Chen didn't continue with the pretense. The reaction all but confirmed that Li Xinghuai's Demonic Qi came from the Ziyang World.
Since it was confirmed that the Heavenly Demon existed in the Ziyang World, Li Xinghuai was of no further use. Lu Chen then manipulated the Yin Yang Mirror, reverting to his original appearance.
As Lu Chen's visage was revealed, the people present were shocked.
"The Sum Emperor! It's the Sum Emperor!"
"This is bad, we've been tricked!" Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
"The Sum Emperor has appeared here!"
...
Seeing it was Lu Chen, Li Xinghuai first paused, then burst into laughter, "I had wanted to keep you for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to come to me so willingly!"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Do you really think that with the support of the Heavenly Demon behind you, you are a match for me, Li Sect Leader?"
Li Xinghuai snorted and retorted, "Whether I am your match or not, we'll know once we fight."
As he spoke, Li Xinghuai immediately set his Demonic Qi in motion, attacking Lu Chen. Lu Chen, not wanting to waste any more time, directly took out the Demon-Expelling Banner.
As the Demon-Expelling Banner appeared, the Demonic Qi in the entire hall was instantly cleansed. When the golden light of the Demon-Expelling Banner shone upon Li Xinghuai, he immediately felt an excruciating pain in his body.
Li Xinghuai finally understood why Lu Chen dared to confront him directly; Lu Chen possessed an artifact that could restrain Demonic Qi.
Thereupon, Li Xinghuai addressed everyone present, "The Sum Emperor is here. Let's join forces and subdue him!"
As the words of Li Xinghuai fell, Su Hanyan and the elders of the Misty Immortal Sect immediately stood up, and then Su Hanyan directly lunged at the sect leaders and elders present.
Su Hanyan said expressionlessly, "Gentlemen, I'm afraid I've let you down. I am the woman of the Sum Emperor; it is impossible for me to betray him."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present drastically changed. The Sum Emperor himself possessed the strength of the All Law Realm, and now there was Su Hanyan, another powerhouse of the All Law Realm. Adding to that, Li Xinghuai was suppressed by the Sum Emperor, they now had no chance of victory whatsoever.
In an instant, those present immediately chose to flee.
Su Hanyan had no intention of giving them a chance to escape, and promptly used Phantom Mist Shadow. In a moment, the entire hall was enveloped in purple mist.
Then Su Hanyan began the slaughter, and soon many of the cultivators in the hall were dead.
Seeing this, Li Xinghuai immediately tapped into the Heavenly Demon Power and coldly said, "I don't believe you can fully resist the Heavenly Demon Power!"
As he spoke, a pair of black misty hands emerged behind Li Xinghuai, reaching straight for Lu Chen, who immediately activated the Demon Burying Spell and once again urged the Demon-Expelling Banner.
The Demon-Expelling Banner instantly shone with a brilliant golden light, and the hands formed by the gathering of the Heavenly Demon Power were shattered by the light.
Seeing this scene, Li Xinghuai's face showed a terrified expression.
"No... Impossible..."
"That's the Heavenly Demon Power!!!"
"How could any cultivator fully withstand the Heavenly Demon Power!!!"
The Heavenly Demon was the bane of all cultivators; faced with the Heavenly Demon, most cultivators could only flee, even when facing a weak Heavenly Demon. At best, they could only seal it with some formations.
Li Xinghuai had thought that by siding with the Heavenly Demon and possessing its power, no cultivator in the Tianchen World would be his match. He didn't expect that the Sum Emperor could counter the Heavenly Demon Power.
Isn't Demonic Qi supposed to suppress Spiritual Power? Aren't cultivators just food for the Heavenly Demon?
Why does the Heavenly Demon Power on him have no effect on Lu Chen?
Even if Lu Chen had treasures that could resist Demonic Qi, he shouldn't be able to completely withstand the Heavenly Demon Power!
Realizing he might not survive, Li Xinghuai once again summoned the Heavenly Demon Power within him, then yelled, "Great Heavenly Demon, save me!!!"
As Li Xinghuai's words fell, a stream of black Qi suddenly descended from the sky, piercing through the roof of the hall and pouring into Li Xinghuai.
Lu Chen did not stop his attack because of the black Qi; he again urged the Demon-Expelling Banner, then took out the Slayer Spear from his system space, and with a Shadow Shifting move, arrived behind Li Xinghuai.
Li Xinghuai hastily turned around and struck out with his palm, but the Demonic Qi he emitted dissipated before it could even touch Lu Chen. Lu Chen thrust forward with his spear, piercing through Li Xinghuai's body instantaneously.
The Demonic Qi gushed out of Li Xinghuai's chest as if finding an outlet for floodwaters. The Qi, as if conscious, directly flew towards the sky, as if trying to escape.
Seeing this, Lu Chen chuckled.
"You've come all this way, thinking you can run?"
Next, Lu Chen once again activated the Demon-Expelling Banner, which released countless purple light waves. As these light waves touched the black Demonic Qi, the Qi evaporated as if being purified, disappearing in a very short time.
Lu Chen withdrew the Slayer Spear from Li Xinghuai's body, as Li Xinghuai's eyes widened and his body fell to the ground, unwilling in death.
At that time, the elders of the various Sect forces began crying out to surrender, but Lu Chen did not grant them this opportunity.
Since he was making an example of them, he couldn't show mercy. If every time he secluded himself, some would rebel, that would be truly bothersome.
To achieve a deterrent effect, none of those who intended to rebel could be spared.
Soon, those forces that intended to rebel were completely eradicated by Lu Chen and Su Hanyan. However, the matter wasn't over just yet.
The ones dealt with now were only the leaders and elders, merely the upper echelon of those factions.
Lu Chen then ordered the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect to wipe out all the forces involved in the rebellion.
