Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, everyone present, all at once, turned their gaze toward the armored man riding atop the white elephant.

The man in golden armor was also dumbfounded, staring at Li Chen with a low voice and asked, "You say we are old acquaintances?"

With an indifferent smile, Li Chen said, "We both come from the Mortal World, calling you an old friend isn't wrong, right?"

Hearing what Li Chen said, something seemed to click for the man in golden armor as his pupils dilated in shock and he exclaimed, "Are you Li Chen, Immortal Master?"

Li Chen responded with a slight smile, tacitly affirming the other's guess.

White Crane was completely confused and stepped forward to ask the man in golden armor what exactly was going on.

The man in golden armor whispered to him in a low voice, casually explaining.

After listening to his explanations, White Crane's eyes filled with a cold, piercing chill.

Since the other party came from the Mortal World, they were equivalent to rootless, backgroundless loose cultivators from the wilds.

To deal with merely two loose cultivators, the Bai Family could resolve the situation without the Immortal Sword Sect's intervention.

"Hmph, mere loose cultivators from the wilds dare to run amok on the Bai Family's turf, it seems you are truly weary of living. Today, I shall let you neither live nor die as you wish!"

White Crane huffed angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to tightly surround Li Chen and Lian Hongshang.

Had the opponents been disciples from a Great Sect, he would not have the courage to act. But loose cultivators from the Mortal World, that certainly did not require any courtesy.

Li Chen casually pointed at those corpses that had not fully perished yet and said with a cold laugh, "Do you wish to end up like them?"

These experts, following the direction of Li Chen's pointing, all showed complex expressions on their faces.

Anyone who dared to underestimate him, when he could kill more than ten cultivators, including a Quasi Golden Core Expert, in the blink of an eye, was truly not far from death.

"Hmph, arrogant fool, on the brink of death yet still you talk tough. Come, first chop off his limbs for me, I will make him wish for death!"

White Crane was suddenly in a towering rage, pointing at Li Chen and commanding loudly.

Upon their master's command, several cultivators in front drew out their glittering, cold blades, ready to chop off Li Chen's limbs.

Li Chen's gaze was frosty as he swept over them.

"Since you're all bent on seeking death, then I will oblige!"

Before his voice even fell, he had already flicked his fingers like knives, casting a torrent of three thousand light shadows, sweeping through the air.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

...

These cultivators only felt a flash of cold light before their eyes, and by the time they came to their senses, they were shocked to find a ghastly, bloody hole in their throats.

White Crane was horrified. Although he had long heard of Li Chen's otherworldly abilities, witnessing them firsthand still startled him.

Instinctively, he turned to the man in golden armor, cupped his hands in respect, and said, "Senior Jin, as long as you can capture this villain, I am willing to offer two hundred thousand Spirit Stones and will recommend you to join the Immortal Sword Sect, what is your opinion on this?"

Hearing White Crane's offer, the man in golden armor's eyes lit up.

To join a Great Sect and practice more profound Cultivation Techniques was what he had been yearning for.

Although the Immortal Sword Sect was not a top-level sect, it was already a Quasi Earth-level Sect, standing as a dominant power, making it the most ideal place for him at the moment.

Moreover, when he first entered the Cultivation Realm, he was attacked by three Golden Core Experts and was only saved by the Bai Family, preserving his life. This was also why he temporarily joined the Bai Family as a High-level Venerated Elder.

Both publicly and privately, he had reasons to help White Crane against Li Chen.

After weighing the pros and cons, the golden-armored man gave White Crane a slight nod, indicating his agreement to the request.

Immediately after, he turned his gaze towards Li Chen.

"When I resided in Southeast Asia, I had long heard of Immortal Master Li's great name. Now that I see you in person, indeed your reputation is well-deserved. I am of modest talent, but I have long wanted to seek guidance from Immortal Master Li. Please enlighten me with a few moves!"

Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned the golden-armored man.

Merely at the Golden Core Early Stage, no cause for concern!

He casually smiled and said, "You and I both hail from Earth, I originally didn't wish to kill you. But since you're so eager to die, then I will have to oblige!"

"Immortal Master Li, you truly are arrogant!"

Before the murderous words could hit the ground, the golden-armored man swung his double axes, crisscrossing left and right, chopping towards Li Chen.

Li Chen's gaze turned icy cold as his five fingers clenched into a fist, condensing a thunderous bolt, and met the challenge without showing any weakness.

"Clang!"

Fist and axes collided in the air, bursting forth a sound like muffled thunder.

"Boom!"

A sharp, piercing explosion reverberated, and the rampant True Yuan tore the void apart in an instant, exploding outward. It directly blew the entire tavern wide open.

After this initial exchange, the burly golden-armored man, wielding a huge axe, was unexpectedly shaken back by Li Chen's bare hands, something which was utterly inconceivable.

"Your defensive power isn't bad, but I wonder how many more of my punches you can take?"

With a smile, Li Chen commented and, without waiting for a response, he strode forward, like an armored vehicle, and fiercely charged over.

"Boom!"

Another Bomb Fist was launched, thundering like a clap of thunder mid-air, exploding violently.

The golden-armored man swung up his double axes in a hasty defense. If it wasn't for the golden battle armor that he wore, which was an extremely formidable defensive treasure, he would probably have already met the same fate as Bai Yong, lying on the ground as a bloodied corpse.

White Crane couldn't believe that Li Chen, a Loose Cultivator from the Mortal World, possessed such aberrant strength, which made his heart skip a beat with fright.

As he was frantic with worry, his gaze suddenly caught Lian Hongshang.

This woman was merely a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator; capturing her would be as easy as turning over his hand.

By doing so, he would certainly be able to force Li Chen, the Loose Cultivator, to hold back fearing collateral damage.

Thinking of his perfect plan, White Crane's mouth curved into a triumphant, sinister smile.

"Fiendish woman, come and meet your end swiftly!"

He roared explosively, his long sword moving like a coiled venomous snake, flicking a crimson tongue, directly thrusting it towards Lian Hongshang.

Lian Hongshang's attention had all been on Li Chen, and she did not expect White Crane to stoop so low with a sneak attack, leaving her with no defenses.

Moreover, White Crane was a genuine Golden Core Expert, able to break the sound barrier and reaching five times the speed of sound in an instant. The distance between them was only a few dozen meters, leaving her no time to react.

"Crack!"

This long sword, more venomous than a snake, immediately stabbed towards Lian Hongshang's chest, showing blood-red specks, a shocking sight.

However, White Crane only managed to penetrate half an inch before being unable to push further, as if being blocked by something.

To his surprise, he saw an ice-blue glow radiating from Lian Hongshang's body, and the surrounding temperature plummeted several dozen degrees within moments, with even the tea in the cups quickly freezing solid.

The onlookers around were also caught off guard by this sudden chill, shivering with their arms wrapped around themselves.

This was the passive effect of the Ice Worm Silk Armor!
