Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1404 - 1401: Five Thunders Bombing

Xia Ning’er and Gu Qingcheng were already accustomed to cultivating this embarrassing technique with Li Chen, and they both appeared adept and familiar.

...

The next day, at dawn!

Outside the great hall, sudden commotion erupted.

Du Yi, Hong Wudi, Sun Ba, Tong Guan, Luo Heu, and others gathered some of their loyal followers, and marched mightily towards the central hall.

The guards responsible for defending the central hall immediately stepped forward to stop them.

However, Du Yi struck one down with a single palm, blood gushing forth.

"Du Yi, what are you intending to do, are you planning a rebellion?"

Wang Long and Wang Hu, the brothers, led their trusted aides forward, blocking Du Yi’s path.

To the rebukes and shouts of Wang Long and Wang Hu, Du Yi turned a deaf ear.

"Heh, there’s the law of the land, and the rules of the house. This sect cannot go a day without a leader. My actions, Du Yi, are merely to seek a path for the sect’s brothers!"

Wang Long sternly rebuked: "How dare you! You think you can call the Pavilion Master’s name, Du Yi?"

Du Yi sneered coolly, responding, "Wang Long, Li Chen is already dead and gone. And yet, you, this loyal dog, still dutifully stand guard!"

At this moment, Du Yi was utterly consumed, his arrogance and shouting knew no bounds.

"Wang Long, Wang Hu, considering we were all disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect once, if you brothers surrender obediently, I won’t kill you!"

Before Du Yi could finish, Wang Long and Wang Hu decisively refused.

Seeing Wang Long and Wang Hu’s refusal to appreciate the situation, Du Yi was instantly consumed by anger.

In his rage, he laughed, uttering "good" three times.

"Good, good, good, since that’s the case, I will have to send you brothers on your way!"

After speaking, Du Yi waved towards those beside him.

"Attack, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Amidst this tense standoff, an incongruous voice suddenly came from within the hall.

"What’s all the shouting about early in the morning? Can’t a person sleep?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone present was involuntarily startled.

Immediately, a figure emerged from the hall, leaving them utterly unbelievable as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

The newcomer had a face like jade, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, like a relegated immortal descended to the dust.

Who else could it be but Li Chen?

"Pavilion Master?"

Wang Long and Wang Hu were the first to cry out in astonishment, filled with joy.

"Pavilion Master?"

Du Yi and his group also cried out in shock.

However, their cries were filled with horror.

Li Chen, with an imperious gaze, coolly swept his eyes towards Du Yi, and asked, "Elder Du, what are you doing, trying to rebel?"

Previously, Wang Long had asked Du Yi the same question.

Back then, Du Yi’s attitude was arrogant, now it was filled with terror.

Before Li Chen’s question was even finished, Du Yi, his legs went weak, collapsed directly to the ground.

As for Hong Wudi, Sun Ba, Tong Guan, Luo Heu, and others, they were all devastated, faces full of shock. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

They couldn’t believe that Li Chen was still alive!

If they had known Li Chen was alive, even granted a hundred times the courage, they would never dared to commit such a treacherous act.

But now, they were stuck, unable to advance or retreat, like riding a tiger.

"Pavilion Master, we were all misled by Du Yi, thus we committed such unrighteous acts. We plead for the Pavilion Master’s forgiveness!"

Hong Wudi’s mental defense was the first to crumble. For the sake of his life, he immediately stepped forward to accuse Du Yi.

Sun Ba, Tong Guan, Luo Heu, seeing Hong Wudi’s betrayal, also hastily claimed they were misled by Du Yi, expressing willingness to reform and atone for their sins.

These people wept bitterly, displaying their "sincerity" in atonement.

As for Du Yi, who was pointed at by everyone, he instantly felt like he had fallen from the lofty clouds into an icy abyss, standing there dumbfounded like a petrified statue.

Li Chen’s piercing gaze locked onto Du Yi.

"Du Yi, do you have anything else to say?"

Du Yi was trembling with fear, unable even to stand, mumbling incoherently for pardon.

Li Chen ignored Du Yi’s pleas for mercy, instead looking at Wang Long and Wang Hu.

"Wang Long, Wang Hu, according to Sect Rules, what is the punishment for rebellion and insubordination?"

Wang Long and Wang Hu knelt and cupped their hands, replying in unison, "Death by execution, they should be punished by the Five Thunders Bombing to serve as a warning!"

"Fine, let it be handled according to the sect rules!"

Li Chen casually replied and then looked at Du Yi coldly, asking, "Elder Du, will you come on your own, or shall I personally make a move?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Du Yi shivered with fear.

Suddenly!

He seemed to go mad, fiercely pushed away the guards beside him, and fled towards the distance at a speed beyond his limit.

Wang Long, Wang Hu, and others saw Du Yi escaping and scrambled to ask for permission to chase him.

However, they were all refused by Li Chen.

"This time, I will personally take action to punish the traitor!"

Li Chen finished speaking, his pupils slightly contracted, and a sharp gleam shot out, tightly locking onto Du Yi.

Du Yi was locked by Li Chen’s gaze, and his body immediately lost control, unable to move an inch.

Li Chen flicked his sleeve, whipping up a whirlwind that threw Du Yi’s whole body onto the Heavenly Thunder Platform.

"Thunder, come!"

"Crack!"

Accompanied by Li Chen’s summon, a bolt of lightning swiftly tore through the void, slashing at Du Yi’s top of the skull life gate.

"Ah!"

A piercing scream echoed through the sky, sending chills down the spine.

"Again!"

"Crack!"

The second bolt of lightning struck!

Followed swiftly by the third, fourth, and fifth bolts!

Moreover, all five bolts struck at the same location.

Du Yi’s True Yuan!

Truly, the Five Thunders Bombing!

After being washed by these five shocks of lightning, Du Yi died immediately, perishing completely even in terms of his Divine Soul, turned into emptiness.

At this moment, Du Yi no longer resembled any human shape, he looked like a charred piece of coal, terribly disfigured.

Upon witnessing this brutal scene, Hong Wudi, Sunx Ba, Tong Guan, Luo Heu, all shuddered in terror, kneeling to beg for mercy, even banging their heads until they were bloody.

Li Chen cast a domineering glance at them coldly.

"In consideration of your past merits, I give you a chance to end your own lives. Behead yourselves, but your wives and children shall be innocent!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone seemed hopelessly lost.

Yet, they were helpless against it.

Resist?

What a joke, confronting Li Chen was courting death.

Moreover, if they failed in resisting, their families would suffer consequences, with their entire households getting wiped out.

Understanding the repercussions, they exchanged looks, displaying an expression of mournful determination.

Tong Guan gritted his teeth, spoke first, "Pavilion Master, I, Hong Wudi, am willing to cleanse my sins with my blood. My wife and children are innocent; I hope the Pavilion Master will spare their lives!"

Li Chen nodded, agreeing, "Alright, I promise you!"

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Tong Guan heavily kowtowed thrice on the ground, then suddenly circulated his True Yuan, gathering it in the palm of his hand, fiercely striking his own top of the skull life gate.

"Splat!"

In an instant, blood splashed!

Tong Guan’s pupils dilated rapidly, life within dissipated in a flash, his head slumped to the side, and he collapsed like a heap of mud on the ground.

Following suit, Hong Wudi, Sunx Ba, Luo Heu imitated him.

In the blink of an eye, four blood-soaked corpses lay on the ground, the scene bloody and grisly, beyond bearable.

Li Chen remained expressionless, merely waved his hand coldly, stating, "The chief criminals are punished; the followers are exempt from further questioning. This matter is concluded!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, thousands of disciples all knelt down in unison, shouting praises to the Pavilion Master’s wisdom.

After a while, Wang Long asked, "Pavilion Master, how should we deal with the bodies of the five people, including Du Yi?"

Li Chen paused briefly, pointed to Du Yi’s corpse that was struck into charcoal by lightning, saying, "Make it into a specimen and hang it on the mountain beam for public display as a warning."

"As for the bodies of these four, gather them and bury them in the back mountain."

After speaking, Li Chen brushed his sleeve and turned back to the inner hall, no longer concerned with these tedious matters.
