Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1164 - 1161: Let Her Go, Get Lost!

Ji Lingling was at the Golden Core Early Stage of cultivation, while Old Three was slightly above her, having reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Golden Core Cultivators were already considered somewhat famous experts.

However, in the face of powerful pursuers, they were still vulnerable.

Not long after they started running, Old Three heard his elder brother’s dying curses.

He realized that the situation was bad, and a deep despair immediately welled up in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he urgently said to Ji Lingling, "Miss Ling’er, they’re closing in. You must go quickly while I hold them back. Once you pass through this forest, you’ll reach the Mohai Desert. Once there, you’ll be out of Tianyang City’s influence, and you’ll be safe!"

After leaving these words, Old Three prepared to carry his blood-soaked knife in the opposite direction.

He was heading to his death!

However, after just a few dozen steps, he felt himself locked onto by a formidable aura, pressing on him so heavily that his entire body tensed and couldn’t move an inch.

Even his bones made cracking sounds, like a bowstring that could snap at any moment.

Before they could even react, they saw a dozen ghostly black shadows silently closing in.

"Miss Ling’er, I told you, you won’t escape from the palm of this Young Master’s hand!"

Pu Yanqing arrogantly waved his folding fan, looking at Ji Lingling with eyes like a big bad wolf eyeing a defenseless little lamb, full of primal aggression.

"Pu Yanqing, even if I die, I won’t let you succeed!"

Ji Lingling, infuriated and ashamed, swung her sword and lunged at Pu Yanqing.

Pu Yanqing sneered dismissively, raising his folding fan to easily block Ji Lingling’s deadly strike.

"Miss Ling’er, stop being so stubborn. A perfect beauty like you should obediently find pleasure under this Young Master!"

As he spoke, Pu Yanqing reached out, attempting to touch Ji Lingling’s delicate face.

Seeing this, Old Three, who was being restrained, suddenly erupted with fury, his blood boiling.

"Pu Yanqing, let go of my lady! I’ll kill you, kill you!"

Pu Yanqing didn’t even glance at him. He casually unleashed a palm strike, sending it directly towards Old Three.

Thump!

Old Three’s chest was directly pierced through, bursting into a horrifying gory hole.

With just that punch, the last guard of the Ji Family fell into a pool of blood.

Witnessing such a bloody scene, Ji Lingling felt an unprecedented sense of despair.

But just then, she saw a stream of light streak across the distant sky.

Then, a graceful youth descended steadily ten zhang away from them.

Seeing the youth, Ji Lingling’s expression couldn’t help but show her surprise. Her heart, which had been in complete despair, suddenly revived, beating excitedly again.

It was like a drowning person grasping the last life-saving straw!

Thinking of this, Ji Lingling shouted out to him.

"Save me!"

The newcomer was none other than Li Chen!

Though Li Chen didn’t know exactly what had happened, seeing the current scene, it wasn’t difficult for him to make a guess.

His arrival flooded Ji Lingling with a thrilling sense of deliverance from despair, while also imposing a vague pressure on Pu Yanqing and his group.

But before they could speak, Li Chen calmly uttered one sentence.

"Let her go!"

Li Chen’s voice wasn’t loud, but his tone was undeniably commanding, making it uncomfortable to hear.

Behind Pu Yanqing, an old man at the Golden Core Late Stage Peak, unable to read Li Chen’s cultivation level, dared not be too arrogant and stepped forward, cupping his hands.

"We are all people from the Tianyang City Lord Mansion, and we hope that Your Excellency will not meddle, lest you incur calamity upon yourself!"

After speaking, he pointed to Pu Yanqing beside him, saying, "This is the Young Master of the City Lord Mansion, and also the prized disciple of Elder Du Huoyang of the Black Cloud Sect, Master Pu Yanqing!"

Though he spoke politely, he simultaneously brought up the City Lord Mansion and the Black Cloud Sect as backing. The threat in his words was self-evident.

However, Li Chen was indifferent to this, completely unconcerned about either the City Lord Mansion or the Black Cloud Sect.

This planet was just a Second Layer Heaven Plane, only one plane higher than Earth. Apart from a few top-level elders, with his power, he could sweep through invincibly here.

Li Chen coldly sneered, pointing at Ji Lingling, "I’ll repeat it one last time, let her go and get lost!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling couldn’t help but feel relieved, and the heart that had been anxious was finally settled.

After all, whether it was the City Lord Manor or the Black Cloud Sect, they were mighty entities that ordinary people couldn’t provoke, and she was genuinely worried she might lose her last hope for survival because of this.

However, she quickly started worrying for Li Chen again, secretly sweating in anxiety.

After all, Li Chen was only about the same age as her, while Pu Yanqing’s side had thirty to forty people, all of whom were Golden Core Realm cultivators, including one Golden Core Late Stage Peak expert.

Unless a true Nascent Soul Great Power intervened, it would be incredibly difficult to deal with them.

Not to mention in Tianyang City, even on the entire Sirius, Nascent Soul Great Powers were overseers who looked down on regions as dominant existences, typically in seclusion, never moving lightly.

Moreover, aside from those Heavenly Prides and Holy Daughters of top sects, the vast majority were monsters who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But the young man in front of her bore no relation whatsoever to a Nascent Soul Great Power.

Thinking of these things, a deep sense of despair welled up in Ji Lingling’s heart once more.

Just as despair enveloped Ji Lingling, a fiery-tempered cultivator beside Pu Yanqing suddenly exploded in outrage.

"Arrogant boy, daring to meddle in the affairs of our City Lord Manor? I think you’re tired of living!"

Before his furious words finished, he suddenly brandished a bloody golden knife in his hand, its cold light flickering like lightning, slicing straight towards Li Chen.

Yet, Li Chen did not even blink, only letting out a cold sneer from between his teeth.

"Hmph, ignorant ants!"

Before his words fell, he flicked his fingers.

A fierce Sword Intent suddenly shot skyward, meeting the knife head-on.

"Clang!"

The golden knife in the rogue’s hand split neatly in two.

"Urgh!"

Immediately, he spat blood, his eyes wide in disbelief, falling into a pool of blood.

Even in death, this unlucky fellow remained completely bewildered, unable to comprehend how he had died. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

For a moment, the entire place fell silent, steeped in complete dead silence!

It should be known that the one who struck just now was a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator. Even their current strongest Golden Core Late Stage Peak cultivator couldn’t easily dispatch him like Li Chen did, with a mere flick of his fingers.

What was the origin of this mysterious young man?

Li Chen brushed off the dust on him, eyes like lightning, coldly sweeping over them.

"Get out, and I won’t repeat it a second time!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Pu Yanqing and his men stared with wide eyes at each other, uncertain of what to do.

Even the most boisterous rogues were now silent as cicadas in winter.

Clearly, the thunderous means Li Chen had displayed completely deterred them.

However, Ji Lingling could not be let go.

She was not only the woman Pu Yanqing had set his eyes on but also personally desired by Old Du Huoyang of the Black Cloud Sect.

The massacre of the entire Ji Family, employing such bloody tactics to force Ji Lingling into submission, was all at Elder Du Huoyang’s command.

And before they came, Du Huoyang had issued strict orders that no matter what, they must bring Ji Lingling back alive.

Black Cloud Sect ruled over tens of thousands of miles, definitely qualifying as a regional overlord.

Compared to Black Cloud Sect, Tianyang City was like an ant to an elephant, entirely insignificant.

Therefore, regardless, she could not be released.

Otherwise, none of them could afford the consequences upon returning.

Moreover, they didn’t believe that Li Chen alone could deal with so many of them.

An always unbridled Pu Yanqing, seeing Li Chen daring to kill someone from their City Lord Manor, suddenly flew into a rage, pointing at Li Chen and hurling a barrage of curses.

"What audacity! You dare kill someone from our City Lord Manor. Today, since you insist on seeking death, I, the Young Master, will grant you that wish!"

Finished speaking, he waved his hand to the left and right, commanding, "Attack him, kill him!"

Upon hearing their Young Master’s command, the dozen or so Golden Core cultivators exchanged glances.

Immediately, they summoned their Magical Treasures. Wind Blades, Fireballs, Sword Shadows, poisons, Ice Swords—a chaotic mess of attacks—all rushed towards Li Chen in a single torrent...
