Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1012 - 1009: Thief Saint Kongg Kong’er!
Right at the next instant, Li Chen’s face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted urgently towards Lian Hongshang and the others.
"Watch out!"
However, before his words fell, a black shadow suddenly appeared like a ghost.
Lian Hongshang, Little Demon Immortal, and Ximen Qingxue immediately summoned their respective magical treasures, vigilant of their surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, they sensed a shadow passing by at an indescribable speed.
But, it was only a passing glimpse!
"Is everyone okay?"
Lian Hongshang cautiously looked around, asking in a serious tone.
Little Demon Immortal looked left and right, seeing nothing unusual, casually replied.
"I’m fine, how about you all?"
Ximen Qingxue also took a careful look, shook her head, saying she was fine too.
However, when her gaze fell upon her right hand, her eyes suddenly widened.
Empty!
"Not good, the Soul Summoning Grass has been snatched away!"
Upon hearing Ximen Qingxue’s exclamation, Lian Hongshang and Little Demon Immortal quickly turned their gaze over.
At this moment, Li Chen had also freed himself from the Dead Ghosts in the River of Oblivion, quickly jumping to shore.
Ximen Qingxue saw Li Chen approaching, immediately showing a guilty expression, speaking with a tearful voice, "Chen, I’m sorry, I..."
Before Ximen Qingxue finished speaking, Li Chen interrupted her, "It’s not your fault, let’s chase!"
"I want to see who exactly dares to be so bold, to snatch something from Li Chen?"
Li Chen finished speaking, his gaze focused fiercely on the direction where the shadow disappeared.
"Chase!"
The moment "Chase" was spoken, even before the echo faded, Li Chen’s physical body had already broken the sound barrier, chasing rapidly at fifty times the speed of sound.
Little Demon Immortal, Lian Hongshang, and Ximen Qingxue could only reach thirty times the speed of sound at their maximum, unable to catch up with Li Chen, just trailing behind closely.
The person who took the Soul Summoning Grass from Ximen Qingxue was a dwarf less than four feet tall, on par in height with Little Demon Immortal.
Nevertheless, despite his short stature, his reputation was indeed large.
Never judge a book by its cover, or the ocean by a cup. Saying his name is honored throughout Jiuzhou would not be an exaggeration.
Because his name is Kong Kong’er, the legendary Master Thief!
Kong Kong’er looked at the Soul Summoning Grass in his hand, letting out a monkey-like eerie laugh.
"Hehe, with the Thief Saint at work, aren’t all treasures easy to acquire?"
However, in the next instant, his pointed ears suddenly twitched, and his previously smug smile froze completely.
Kong Kong’er realized something was amiss, instinctively wanting to flee.
But just then, a figure faster than him walked through the air, blocking his way directly.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Kong Kong’er’s heart skipped a beat.
"Li Chen?"
Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Li Chen!
Li Chen stared at Kong Kong’er for a while, asking in a deep voice, "If I’m not mistaken, you must be the renowned Master Thief Kong Kong’er, right?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Kong Kong’er proudly said, "Exactly, I am the Master Thief Kong Kong’er!"
Li Chen stretched out a hand, revealing his palm, saying, "I’m in a good mood today; return the Soul Summoning Grass, and I can spare your life."
Kong Kong’er looked at the Soul Summoning Grass in his hand, grinning menacingly.
"I am Kong Kong’er, the Master Thief; having taken it, how could I return it? If you want the Soul Summoning Grass, come and get it yourself!"
As he spoke, Kong Kong’er’s figure suddenly split, one into two, two into four, four into eight.
Eight figures simultaneously fled in different directions.
This was Kong Kong’er’s signature skill, the Shadow Clone Technique!
It’s also the main reason he often escaped from strong enemies."
Unfortunately, this time he encountered Li Chen!
"Humph, you dare to show off such a trivial trick in front of me?"
As he spoke, orange flames ignited in Li Chen’s pupils, shooting out beams like X-rays in a hospital, penetrating through Kong Kong’er’s eight figures.
The first one was void!
The second one was void!
The third one was void!
...
The seventh, there was a residual!
Perceiving this, a smug smile appeared at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.
Immediately, his gaze locked onto the seventh shadow of Kong Kong’er.
"Drawing the ground as a prison!"
A circular light ring quickly enveloped Kong Kong’er.
Kong Kong’er was shocked and wanted to escape, but no matter how he zigzagged, he couldn’t escape Li Chen’s "Drawing the ground as a prison". 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Frightened, his eyes bulged as he looked up at Li Chen in terror, asking in a trembling voice, "How did you see through my Shadow Clone Technique?"
Li Chen stood with his hands behind, laughed unconcerned, "A mere trick, does it require special detection?"
Kong Kong’er’s expression was uncertain, gritting his teeth, he said, "It’s rare to meet such a prodigy in a millennium; I surrender!"
"You want the Soul Resurrection Grass, take it!"
He said as he extended his broad hand, handing over the Soul Resurrection Grass.
Li Chen was about to reach out and take it, when suddenly Kong Kong’er’s palm flipped, a Heavenly Earth Bomb exploded, splattering heavy smoke, blotting out the sky.
"Humph, trying to catch me, Kong Kong’er, you’re still too young!"
Kong Kong’er snorted proudly, his body suddenly slumped, turning into sand and soil, merging underground, planning to escape using Earth Escape.
"Humph, do you think you can escape like this?"
Li Chen was prepared, his True Yuan suddenly surged, gathering at the soles of his feet.
"Boom!"
A foot stepped out, mountain collapsed and ground cracked!
A gorge appeared instantaneously on the ground, extending forward at lightning speed.
"Puchi!"
Soon, a muffled groan of pain came from underground, blood erupted like a waterfall, leaving a glaring red stain.
Kong Kong’er ignored the pain on his body, attempting to escape again.
But before he could stand up, three shining magic swords were crossed at his neck.
Lian Hongshang, Little Demon Immortal, Ximen Qingxue rushed over.
Ximen Qingxue saw the Soul Summoning Grass in Kong Kong’er’s hand, swiftly snatching it back.
"You little thief, daring to snatch a treasure from my hands. You must be tired of living!"
After scolding him, Ximen Qingxue felt still ungassed, and lifted her long, beautiful leg, wildly kicking Kong Kong’er’s large face.
At first, Kong Kong’er was quite defiant, saying things like "A gentleman would rather die than be humiliated".
However, after receiving seventy or eighty kicks from Ximen Qingxue, he completely withered, begging for mercy from this Ms. Qingxue.
Seeing Kong Kong’er had surrendered and feeling tired herself, Ximen Qingxue stopped...
