Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1192 - 1189: Let Others Die So I May Live

Du Huoyang truly deserves to be the Great Elder of the Black Cloud Sect, surrounded by black mist, like a Demon God crawling out of hell.

Moreover, with each step he takes forward, the rock-paved ground shows mottled cracks, extending towards Li Chen’s feet.

Such a wild and oppressive aura makes one feel suffocated, involuntarily bowing down.

Seeing this scene, the already frightened Pu Yanqing, on the brink of panic, can’t help but swagger again.

"Hmph, what an ignorant fool, who do you think you are, daring to shout in front of my master?"

Du Huoyang’s other disciples also shouted hoarsely.

"Master, kill him. We must tear apart this arrogant guy, tear him into pieces!"

...

Du Huoyang stands in the air as if he is an emperor wielding the power of life and death, narrowing his sinister eyes and expressionlessly looking down at Li Chen.

"Li Chen, your talent is commendable. It would be a pity to fall here. If you are willing to join my sect and hand over that Ji Family girl, I can spare your life. How does that sound?"

Unwilling to show weakness, Li Chen directly meets Du Huoyang’s sharp, sinister gaze and laughs coldly.

"Du Huoyang, now, I also give you a chance to live. Kneel down, bow your head, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Hearing Li Chen’s arrogant words, Du Huoyang is completely enraged.

"Arrogant child, since you insist on courting death, I shall grant it!"

Du Huoyang shouts into the air; the surrounding black clouds churn, seeming like thunder rumbling. With the City Lord Manor as the core, phenomena within a hundred miles move with him. It is as if he can destroy heaven and earth with a flick of his hand.

Immediately, he raises his hands high. The swirling black clouds gather above his palms, appearing from afar as if he’s holding up a majestic mountain.

"Li Chen, prepare to die!"

Du Huoyang bellows skywards, spitting thunder.

The murderous sound still echoes in the air; the majestic mountain formed by black clouds in his hands, containing crashing thunder, suddenly presses down on Li Chen.

Ji Lingling has never seen such formidable power, instantly terrified, her beauty loses its color, her mouth forming an ’O’, unable to utter a single word.

"Wait for me behind!"

Li Chen casually flicks out a circle of light, like a giant soap bubble, enveloping Ji Lingling and pushing her behind.

Then, he rises against the air, creating lotus blossoms with each step. As he nears parallel with Du Huoyang, he quickly spreads his hand, like it’s molded from solid gold. His fingers tightly grip, lightning flashing.

"Thunderbolt Fist!"

This punch is akin to a thunderstorm, resembling a Jiao Long wrapped in lightning, fiercely opening its bloody maw, directly meeting the majestic black cloud mountain Du Huoyang strikes out.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of violent impact roars out!

Du Huoyang’s black cloud mountain, in the face of Li Chen’s Thunderbolt Fist, is like a paper tiger, instantly tearing into two halves.

Witnessing such an unbelievable scene, Du Huoyang is immediately shocked, his face full of disbelief.

Before he can recover, he suddenly feels a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he’s shocked to find a gaping, bloody hole.

Immediately, his entire body, like a kite with a broken string, quickly retreats backward.

Until he crashes into a corner of the City Lord Manor’s hall, causing it to collapse, does he finally stop.

Seeing this, everyone present widens their eyes, staring dumbfoundedly at Li Chen.

To know such a powerhouse is the Great Elder of the Black Cloud Sect, the third most important figure after the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master.

He’s been severely injured by a single punch from Li Chen, a loose cultivator. Even having witnessed it themselves, they still cannot believe this fact.

This is simply extraordinary, like a mythical tale!

Even Ji Lingling is shocked, her eyes wide, mouth gaping in disbelief.

The culprit that wiped out their entire Ji Family defeated with a single punch by Li Chen?

What is the true background of this young man? His age seems similar to hers, how can he possess such terrifying cultivation?

Not only Ji Lingling is shocked but also Pu Yinglong and his son.

Especially Pu Yanqing, once again from cloud nine down to rock bottom, feeling boundless darkness and despair.

This nearly breaks his psyche.

Li Chen stands gracefully, like a relegated immortal, gently landing before Du Huoyang with a harmless smile.

"Elder Du, didn’t you want to kill me? Why are you lying on the ground now?"

Seeing the smile on Li Chen’s face, Du Huoyang’s heart feels as if struck by thunder.

Now he finally understands why Zhang Xiong and others are so afraid when mentioning Li Chen.

This is no ordinary person; he’s a monster, a Killing God, a Devil!

Du Huoyang stabilizes his mind a little, saying: "Fellow Taoist Li Chen, the matter of the Ji Family was all done by Pu Yinglong and his son, it has nothing to do with me. Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding."

"So, I am willing to compensate with five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. If you’re willing to join our Black Cloud Sect, I’ll surely recommend you to the Sect Master to appoint you as a Guest Elder, enjoying ample respect annually!"

The so-called Guest Elder is similar to a High-level Venerated Elder within a family. It’s a sect’s way of recruiting some independent cultivators.

These Guest Elders don’t necessarily have to stay in the sect. They only need to occasionally assist with solving troublesome issues.

In return, the sect provides abundant cultivation resources, even beauties, and Magical Treasures as respect, supporting them.

One could say, it’s a win-win situation!

Five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones and a Guest Elder position, Du Huoyang offers a high price.

Moreover, sticking to the principle of sacrificing others to save himself, he throws Pu Yinglong and his son under the bus to quell Ji Lingling’s hatred.

If the Black Cloud Sect were a Super Sect like the Greedy Wolf Hall, Li Chen might have considered Du Huoyang’s proposal.

Unfortunately, in Li Chen’s eyes, the Black Cloud Sect is just an oversized ant nest, hardly worthy of his attention.

Hearing Du Huoyang shift the blame entirely onto their family, Pu Yinglong immediately flies into a rage, ignoring Du Huoyang’s status.

"Du Huoyang, you’re spouting lies. If it weren’t for your lust for Miss Ji’s special physique, wanting to use her body as a cultivation cauldron, we wouldn’t have risked offending everyone under heaven to target the Ji Family. You can’t escape blame; stop trying to throw the dirty water on me!"

Facing Pu Yinglong’s accusations, Du Huoyang doesn’t back down, immediately roaring back: "Bullshit! It was clearly your degenerate son coveting Miss Ji’s beauty, wanting to possess her. When Mr. Ji refused, you wiped out their family. Such heinous acts are shocking, angering both heaven and man!"

Du Huoyang speaks with such indignation, at his most passionate, he almost roars. Such acting, if he were in Earth’s entertainment circle, winning an Oscar would be a walk in the park.

Li Chen listens to Du Huoyang and Pu Yinglong, starting a wrangle, frowning thoughtfully.

As their argument heats up, even escalating to a physical confrontation, Li Chen must interject.

"Ahem, gentlemen, please rest up. I’m not here to hear your quarrel. I’m here to either kill you or let you kill me."
