Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1188 - 1185: He Who Courts Disaster Shall Not Live
As Du Jiu, enveloped in a thunderous force, charged forward, Li Chen remained seated in his chair, leisurely sipping wine, as though he didn’t take him seriously at all.
In fact, considering the skills of Du Jiu were no more than the abilities of a three-legged cat, he indeed wasn’t qualified for Li Chen to consider him as a threat.
One must know, even the Deputy Sect Master of the Spiritual Spring Sect, formidable as he was, was slain by Li Chen in an instant. Not to mention this insignificant Du Jiu?
When Du Jiu rushed to within less than ten feet from Li Chen, he suddenly felt his entire body freeze mid-air, unable to move a muscle.
In his confusion, he suddenly saw the harmless smile on Li Chen’s face.
Du Jiu’s heart skipped a beat; he realized that things were not looking good, that he had hit an iron wall this time.
He wanted to retreat, to distance himself from Li Chen, this Killing God.
Unfortunately, it was already too late!
As the smile at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth rose to a 45-degree angle, the thunder attack unleashed by Du Jiu rebounded back in perfect form.
"Crack!"
The lightning tore through the air, instantly rending Du Jiu into two halves.
Even before the local tyrant of Spiritual Spring Town could let out a scream, his soul had already departed to the western skies.
"Hiss!"
Witnessing such an unbelievable scene, everyone present couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Especially Du Duobao, who couldn’t believe that his undefeated father would suddenly die?
"No way, did Du Jiu just die like that?"
"How is it possible, that young man didn’t even lift a finger, how did Du Jiu suddenly die?"
"Maybe Du Jiu’s cultivation method was too powerful, and he lost control of its power, suffering a backlash?"
...
Upon hearing this explanation, many people present nodded one after another, expressing their agreement.
After all, suffering a backlash during cultivation is not uncommon, whether you’re a Foundation Establishment Junior or a Nascent Soul Great Power, this can occur.
Moreover, the scene before them fits only this reasonable explanation.
It couldn’t be said that the young man before them was a Nascent Soul Great Power, with the terrifying power to instantly kill Du Jiu, who was at the Golden Core Late Stage, right?
This was just too fantastical, too beyond belief!
In an instant, the onlookers began to sigh inwardly about Du Jiu’s unfortunate fate, killed by the backlash from his cultivation method at such a crucial moment.
Soon, some people with burgeoning imaginations attributed this incident to the Heavenly Dao above.
Heavenly Dao has its cycles, Du Jiu and his son, relying on the power of the Spiritual Spring Sect, wreaked havoc in Spiritual Spring Town, acting recklessly. Many people had to flee far away due to his persecution, even suffering broken homes and families, becoming a common grievance among all.
Now, him suffering a backlash from his cultivation method answered the timeless proverb passed down through countless generations.
Heavenly sins can be lived through. Self-made sins cannot be survived!
Besides this, the spectators couldn’t help but marvel at Li Chen’s luck, which seemed extraordinarily good, almost beyond heaven’s bounds.
Perhaps everyone present thought this way.
Only Ji Lingling did not think this way.
Li Chen could annihilate the entire Spiritual Spring Sect in one night, slaughtering Nascent Soul Great Powers like the Deputy Sect Master as easily as killing chickens and dogs, let alone someone like Du Jiu at Golden Core Late Stage?
In her eyes, the reason Du Jiu suddenly died was not due to a backlash from his cultivation method, but rather, he was killed by Li Chen.
However, Li Chen’s means of killing were too defiance of heaven, and these ordinary folks with dull eyes simply did not see it.
No matter what, Du Jiu was dead, which was an incontestable fact.
Du Jiu’s death triggered a chain reaction immediately.
The wicked servants of the Du Family who besieged Ji Lingling, seeing the unfavorable situation, scattered like birds and beasts.
Ji Lingling seized the opportunity to kill two of them, just as she intended to chase after the others, she was stopped by Li Chen.
"Don’t chase after trapped enemies, let them go!"
Seeing his father dead, and the guards scattering clean, Du Duobao felt immensely terrified and fled with all his might.
But as soon as he rushed out of the inn, he saw a middle-aged man suddenly leap in with an ax, striking fiercely at Du Duobao’s head.
A crisp "crack" was heard as the sound of snapping skull echoed sharply.
Immediately after, Du Duobao’s large head split open like a ripe watermelon suddenly smashed by someone, with blood, mixed with white brain matter, splattering everywhere.
Du Duobao’s entire body went limp, collapsing into the pool of blood.
Not yet deceased, his eyes were wide open with terror as he looked at the person who came, seemingly wanting to say something, but no words came out.
"Du Duobao, surprised, aren’t you? That you’d also have a day like today? Three years ago, you violated my wife and daughter, killed my parents. Today, finally I waited for this day. Heaven surely has eyes, heaven surely has eyes!"
The middle-aged man, like a mad beast, swung the blood-stained ax towards Du Duobao.
"This chop is for my parents!"
"This chop is for my wife!"
"This chop is for my daughter. She was only eight years old, still a child who knew nothing. You beast, how could you be so cruel..."
With every grievance he shouted, the middle-aged man would viciously strike Du Duobao’s fat body.
At this moment, he had completely lost control. The hatred from having his parents killed and his wife and daughter violated three years ago, along with all the indignation he suffered for being unable to seek revenge, flooded out like a breaking dam.
Meanwhile, the malevolent Du Duobao, rife with countless sins, had already been chopped into mincemeat.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, the scene unbearable to witness!
Yet for this, not a single person stepped forward to stop it.
The father and son of the Du Family had wreaked havoc in the region, long causing a public outcry, provoking resentment in both humans and gods.
Today, seeing the father’s and son’s cruel retribution, everyone couldn’t help shouting in satisfaction.
After chopping over a hundred axes, the middle-aged man collapsed from exhaustion and finally stopped.
With a clang, the ax in his hand dropped to the ground.
Then, he too knelt to the ground, crying to the heavens.
"Dad, Mom, Sufen, girl, I’ve finally avenged you, avenged you!"
By the time he finished speaking, he was sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing the blood-covered middle-aged man, Ji Lingling empathized deeply, her eyes involuntarily moistening.
However, Li Chen’s heart remained unaffected by this.
Having witnessed such scenes many times, he had become numb.
He glanced at Ji Lingling, casually saying, "Let’s go!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling quickly wiped away her tears and hurriedly followed.
As they neared the exit of Spiritual Spring Town, Ji Lingling finally stopped crying completely. She looked around and asked, "Where are we going now, my lord?"
Li Chen replied casually, "Tianyang City!"
Upon hearing the words "Tianyang City," Ji Lingling’s heart instantly shuddered, her eyes growing damp again in an instant.
Tianyang City, such a familiar name, it is the place that nurtured her, and also the deepest nightmare of her life.
Ji Lingling, being a clever girl, need not ask further to know what Li Chen intended to do in Tianyang City?
Soon she would be like that middle-aged man who avenged the death of the Du Family villain, able to avenge her family’s destruction.
At the very least, Pu Yanqing and his son were doomed!
Thinking of this, a warm stream welled up in Ji Lingling’s heart.
She looked tearfully at Li Chen, choked up for a long time, and then resolutely said.
"My lord, whether in this life or the next, Ling’er is yours!"
No matter if Li Chen wanted her pure body, or her life, she would offer it without hesitation, and without regret.
Li Chen glanced at Ji Lingling, his expression as calm as a still pond, unaffected.
He merely furrowed his brows slightly and remarked offhandedly, "You look ugly when you cry!"
Ji Lingling was stunned hearing this, clearly not understanding why Li Chen suddenly said such a thing.
Li Chen waved his hand at her, casually advising, "Alright, stop crying. It’s getting late, let’s move!"
Ji Lingling hastily wiped the tears from her face, nodding vigorously, like a chicken pecking rice. She followed closely behind Li Chen, heading back the way they came, towards Tianyang City...
