Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1187 - 1184: The Arrogant Du Jiu!

Upon hearing Du Jiu’s angry shout, the onlookers nearby couldn’t help but secretly sweat for Li Chen and Ji Lingling.

"Who does this man choose to provoke? Of all people, he had to provoke the Du Family. Can the Du Family be easily trifled with?"

"Alas, such a beautiful fairy encountering such misfortune for no reason, it’s truly a pity!"

"Heh, what’s there to pity? If you court death, you will indeed die. They brought this upon themselves, who can they blame?"

...

For a moment, there was a flurry of discussion.

Some were purely there to watch the excitement, gloating at the misfortune of others.

Some sighed and lamented for Li Chen and Ji Lingling.

However, Li Chen, the person involved, did not pay attention to Du Jiu’s angry shout and instead idly fiddled with the wine cup in his hand.

Seeing that her young master’s cup was empty, Ji Lingling immediately moved forward like a maid to refill it for him.

Witnessing this scene, Du Jiu suddenly flew into a rage.

A steward beside him immediately stepped forward, pointed at Li Chen’s nose, and began to yell angrily.

"Audacious child, my master is speaking to you!"

Li Chen’s enjoyment of his drink was interrupted, and his brow slightly furrowed.

"What is your master to me, to dare speak loudly in front of me?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Chen suddenly splashed the steward with the wine in his hand.

This was just ordinary wine, yet it carried Li Chen’s Thunderous Fury, even stronger than the world’s most potent poisoned wine by threefold.

As soon as the wine touched the steward’s face, flames immediately burst forth and ignited into a raging fire.

In the blink of an eye, the flames wrapped around the steward like a venomous snake ready to bite.

Subsequently, his clothes, skin, blood vessels, bones, and internal organs all combusted simultaneously.

"Ah!"

After a shrill and tragic scream comparable to that of a slaughtered pig, the steward was completely reduced to ashes, not a scrap of bone remaining.

"Hiss!"

Seeing the once arrogant steward turned to ashes in an instant, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Even the local tyrant here, the always arrogant Du Jiu, his face darkened immediately.

He then looked again at the spot where the steward had been burned alive and, suddenly enraged, laughed instead, saying "good" three times in a row.

"Good, good, good. No wonder you dare to act wild in my Spiritual Spring Town; turns out you have some skills. But, unfortunately, your little skills are nothing in front of me!"

After speaking, Du Jiu waved his hand at his subordinates.

"Go, cripple them for me. I want these two arrogant juniors to find no peace in life or death, to live a life worse than death. Let this serve as a warning to everyone that this is the price of provoking the Du Family!"

His subordinates exchanged a glance, then, brandishing their weapons, surrounded Li Chen and Ji Lingling.

The other party consisted of quite a number, a full twenty to thirty people, immediately making the already not very spacious tavern feel somewhat crowded.

However, these thugs were not highly cultivated. Except for the two or three leaders who had reached the Golden Core Realm, the others were mostly Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

These ants weren’t even worth Li Chen’s effort to act, so he instead turned his gaze towards Ji Lingling.

"You deal with these minions!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling was momentarily stunned, taking a while to react.

After all, along the way, every enemy, big or small, had been solved by Li Chen, and he had never let her act.

However, she quickly regained her senses, said "good" to Li Chen, and casually summoned a Magic Sword, meeting the attack.

Ji Lingling, at the Golden Core Middle Stage, found it quite strenuous to deal with so many evil servants at once. However, as long as Du Jiu did not intervene, she wasn’t in any life-threatening danger.

Ji Lingling moved among the group of evil servants like a yellow oriole darting through a cloud-covered valley.

From time to time, a Foundation Establishment Thug would be pierced by her, letting out a shrill, ear-piercing scream.

Of course, the evil servants that the Du Family had bred at great expense were not to be underestimated. Especially those few Golden Core Early Stage cultivators, united, they gave Ji Lingling quite a bit of trouble, several times nearly injuring her.

Li Chen, meanwhile, remained at ease, drinking and watching the show. Occasionally, he even offered Ji Lingling a guiding comment. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

To the onlookers, Li Chen seemed to be casually spouting some drunken words.

But to Ji Lingling, his words struck her like a Thunder Strike.

Because everything Li Chen said pinpointed the critical weaknesses in her Cultivation Technique, hitting the vital spot. Each time, it felt like a jolt of enlightenment, leading to deep understanding.

She believed that with Li Chen’s guidance, she could break through the bottleneck of the Golden Core Middle Stage and advance to the Golden Core Late Stage in just three to five months.

If she followed him for a longer period, surpassing the chasm to reach Nascent Soul Realm was not out of the question.

Once reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, although she might still not be able to kill the Black Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect Grand Elder Du Huoyang, she could certainly have more than enough power to avenge the Pu Family father and son in Tianyang City.

Thinking of these prospects, Ji Lingling felt like an explorer who had suddenly discovered a century-old treasure. Her heart pounded like a frantic deer.

"Focus, don’t get distracted!"

Just then, Li Chen’s scolding voice suddenly rang in Ji Lingling’s ear, causing her to snap back to reality with a start.

The struggle continued, and the situation was still deadlocked.

However, nearly half of the Du Family’s evil servants were now lying horizontally and vertically in pools of blood, groaning in pain.

If this trend continued, the situation would be very unfavorable for the Du Family.

Du Jiu had clearly realized this, and after a furious curse of "useless," his True Yuan suddenly surged, even causing the roof to echo with reverberations.

"Kid, your biggest mistake was provoking the Du Family!"

With this loud shout, Du Jiu clapped his hands together, his palms brimming with lightning, and locked onto Li Chen, striking with a thunderous clap.

Du Jiu was at the Golden Core Late Stage, and the Thunderclap Palm was a high-level Cultivation Technique he had exchanged for at great cost from the Spiritual Spring Sect.

In his experience, killing Li Chen should be no challenge at all!

Not only did he think so, but many of the onlooking crowd thought the same.

They cast sympathetic glances at Li Chen, and some women and children, unable to bear the bloody scene of Li Chen being killed, instinctively covered their eyes.

Nearby, Du Duobao, as if invigorated, shouted grotesquely.

"Now you see the power of the Du Family, daring to compete with this young master for a woman. I will make your life worse than death!"

Thinking of the woman, he shouted to the evil servants besieging Ji Lingling: "Hey, you better be careful not to hurt this young master’s woman!"
