Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Deep in the forest, Li Chen was busy setting up the Sword Array, using the terrain to his advantage.

He had deliberately chosen this desolate path before, planning to take out both Teng Yue and Du Feng, these two old foxes, in one fell swoop. It would be a solution once and for all, sparing future troubles.

Lian Hongshang watched with full of doubts, casually asking, "Chen, are you so sure they will follow us?"

Before her words had finished, Li Chen suddenly raised his head, looked behind him, and said hurriedly, "The prey has arrived!"

...

The prey mentioned by Li Chen naturally referred to Du Feng, Teng Yue and the others.

Teng Yue and Du Feng saw Li Chen as their prey ready for the slaughter, whereas conversely, Li Chen regarded them as his own prey.

"That kid sure moves fast; he's out of sight in just a moment!"

Teng Yue looked around the vast forest, continuously cursing under his breath.

"Gentlemen, are you looking for me?"

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Teng Yue, Du Feng and the others followed the sound, and the owner of the voice was none other than Li Chen himself.

At this point, he was standing with his clothes fluttering and hands behind his back, a figure of peerless solitude.

His sudden appearance startled both Teng Yue and Du Feng.

Du Feng had learned, more or less, about Li Chen's background from Wu Tian. He knew that Li Chen had divine methods and should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, he would not have specifically invited Teng Yue to be cannon fodder.

However, Teng Yue was completely unaware of this. His knowledge of Li Chen was limited to the fact that the latter could blast a Fourth-level Demon Beast, Single-Horned Thunder Whale, which at most indicated the level of Golden Core Early Stage.

Yet he was a genuine Peak of Golden Core Late Stage, fully capable of overpowering the opposition. Moreover, they had Du Feng, a Quasi-Nascent Soul Strong Person, with them.

As long as no one from the Moon God Palace intervened, today, Li Chen was doomed.

"Li Chen, you have repeatedly humiliated me and even killed the disciples of the Dongji Sect. Today will be your day of death. This Thunder Island will be your burial ground!"

Li Chen sneered coldly, "Heh, not to hide from everyone, actually, I was thinking the same!"

After saying that, he looked around like a Fengshui Master, smiling cheerfully as he said:

"There are mountains and water here, and the air is very fresh. It will not be a bad place for you gentlemen to be buried. What do you think?"

Hearing Li Chen's chilling words, the hearts of Teng Yue, Du Feng, and the others all jumped violently.

"Kid, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with all your big talk? Today, let me show you my real skills!"

Before he even finished speaking, Teng Yue exploded forward like a predatory cheetah, levitating in the midst of the air.

Suddenly, his hair was disheveled like wild and his eyes blood-red, with a Magic Sword like a tri-headed serpent erected in front of him.

"Li Chen, brace yourself for death!"

The word "death" had scarcely reached Li Chen's ears when he saw the long sword in Teng Yue's hand piercing through the void, like a Bai Hong cutting through the skies, slashing towards Li Chen.

Li Chen neither dodged nor flinched, adopting a composed attitude as if he was sat steadily fishing despite the stormy waves. Only when Teng Yue's long sword approached did he disdainfully snort.

"Hmph, is that all you've got?"

As he spoke, Li Chen clenched his five fingers, with lightning coiling around his knuckles, crackling and roaring.

"Thunderbolt Fist!"

This punch thundered out with the momentum of a hurtling thunderbolt.

"Clang!"

Iron Fist collided with the long sword in the air, sparking countless dazzling and eye-catching sparks.

At the moment of impact, Teng Yue only felt his sword-holding hand go numb, and his entire half of the body lost sensation in an instant.

This shocked Teng Yue to his core; he never imagined that Li Chen's punch could be so terrifyingly powerful!

Seeing that Teng Yue appeared to be on the verge of defeat after just a brief exchange, Du Feng's expression suddenly turned extremely grave.

His gaze swept over to Lian Hongshang, and a malevolent plan instantly formed in his sinister eyes.

"Wu Tian, Bi Tao, Zhang Xi, attack that Young Master Lian, and make sure to capture him in the shortest time possible!"

Wu Tian, Bi Tao, Zhang Xi, and the others exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.

Especially Bi Tao, when he thought of Lian Hongshang's peerless Qingcheng beauty at the city gate, he couldn't help his eyes lighting up, swallowing his saliva with effort.

"Little lady, here I come!"

Lian Hongshang's eyebrows knitted slightly, coldly responding, "You really are an annoying fly!"

Bi Tao smirkingly said, "Miss, what I said before still stands. As long as you willingly submit to me, not only will I ensure you stay alive, but I will also let you join the ranks of my Azure Sea Pavilion. What do you think?"

Wu Tian remained silent, only coldly observing from the side.

Zhang Xi, feeling ashamed by the behavior of his senior fellow disciple, hastily reminded, "Brother Bi, restrain that lustful nature of yours. Otherwise, sooner or later you'll die by a woman's hands!"

Bi Tao retorted in annoyance, justifying himself, "Sister, I only see that Miss Lian has outstanding talent. It would be a total waste for such talent to perish, so I can't help but have the heart to cherish it. I'm simply thinking of recruiting talents for our sect, to strengthen our Azure Sea Pavilion, see?"

Listening to Bi Tao's self-righteous nonsense, Zhang Xi didn't bother with him and looked towards Wu Tian with affectionate eyes, saying, "Brother Wu Tian, let's join forces and capture this demon woman!"

Wu Tian nodded coolly in response, "Alright, as you say, Sister Zhang Xi!"

Wu Tian, Zhang Xi, Bi Tao, and the others immediately surrounded Lian Hongshang in a tactical formation.

Lian Hongshang's expression remained cold as frost, and as she glanced at Li Chen, who was entangled with Du Feng and Teng Yue, a trace of worry finally appeared in her beautiful eyes.

It seemed Bi Tao noticed Lian Hongshang's concern and smirked, "Miss Lian, that Li Chen is arrogant and is doomed. Why would you die for him? Just surrender obediently, and I will plead with the master to spare your life!"

"Really an annoying fly!"

Lian Hongshang uttered disdainfully, and with a flick of her delicate fingers, she made a gesture in the air.

"Clang!"

The Purple Shadow Immortal Sword echoed with a crisp and pleasant ringing sound. In the haze, a purple phoenix seemed to burst forth from the sword, soaring into the sky.

Seeing this sight, Wu Tian, Zhang Xi, Bi Tao, and the others could not help but swallow hard.

Just witnessing the sacred spectacle of that illusion was enough to show that it was an extraordinary Spirit Sword!

Lian Hongshang's icy gaze swept across them one by one.

"Who will come first?"

"I'll go first!"

A Quasi Golden Core cultivator from Azure Sea Pavilion, named Wang Hee, lusted after the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword and volunteered.

Before his words ended, he summoned a Magic Sword and slashed towards her like a raging tsunami.

Although Lian Hongshang wasn't as monstrously strong as Li Chen, she was wearing Ice Worm Silk Armor and wielding the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword. Among these people, only Wu Tian, who was at the Golden Core Middle Stage, could possibly pose a substantial threat to her.

As for this one before her eyes, he was only slightly stronger than the annoying fly, Bi Tao. Whether he could even break through her defenses was questionable – he was virtually negligible.
