Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1604 - 1601: Battle with State Preceptor Zhuge Hu!

Thinking of his own plan, Zhuge Hu squinted and smiled at Li Chen.

"Mr. Li is quite well-informed. Azure Cloud Fairy was just invited into the Royal Palace by our King, and you have already found your way here!"

Upon hearing that Xie Wanwan was indeed in the Royal Palace, Li Chen’s pupils gleamed with joy.

No matter what, Xie Wanwan and Xie Yun are still alive, which is the best news.

Li Chen composed himself, noticing that after he killed so many of the enemy, National Master Zhuge Hu’s attitude remained courteous.

Moreover, he specifically used the word "invite."

Anyone who isn’t foolish could perceive a hint of goodwill and an attempt to woo.

However, Li Chen was not that easy to woo.

Li Chen gave a disdainful look and shouted sternly, "Where are they? Let them out quickly. Or else, do you believe I will massacre your Great Wu Dynasty?"

Hearing Li Chen’s boastful words, many generals of the Great Wu Dynasty rebuked.

"Bold rascal, do not act arrogantly in front of the National Master!"

Zhuge Hu waved his hand at everyone, signaling them to calm down.

Then, he smilingly looked at Li Chen.

"Mr. Li, let’s have a proper conversation. Don’t be so reckless! Rest assured, we will not harm Azure Cloud Fairy. However, before that, we hope to make a deal with Mr. Li!"

Seeing the fox’s tail finally revealed, Li Chen sneered coldly.

"What deal?"

Zhuge Hu stroked his goatee and said, "It’s nothing serious; it’s just that my lord has great admiration for Mr. Li. We hope you could take the position of Commander of the Forbidden Army. What do you think?"

Hearing Zhuge Hu’s words, Li Chen laughed coldly repeatedly.

"Haha, do you think you are worthy?"

Upon hearing this, Ninth Prince Wu Changwen could no longer suppress his inner anger and pointed at Li Chen, shouting furiously, "Li Chen, my father appreciates you, which is your supreme honor. You better not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink. Do you truly think our Great Wu Dynasty can’t deal with you?"

Zhuge Hu observed how his earnest persuasion earlier failed to move Li Chen.

At that moment, even he couldn’t help but become annoyed and angry.

In Li Chen’s deep, bright eyes, a glint of disdain flashed.

"The ones who refuse a toast only to be forced to drink are you. My patience is limited, release them quickly. Otherwise, I, Li Chen, swear to the heavens, today I will slaughter the Palace until rivers of blood flow, leaving no one alive!"

Li Chen’s words were full of a murderous aura, instilling fear in everyone present.

Seeing such a terrifying presence emanating from Li Chen, it made Zhuge Hu more resolute to eliminate him completely.

If he isn’t for me, then he must be killed!

Otherwise, letting such a talented demon go freely would surely cause the entire Great Wu Dynasty to live in constant fear.

With this in mind, Zhuge Hu’s squinted eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

"Li Chen boy, since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink, don’t blame this National Master for being ruthless!"

After Zhuge Hu spoke, a storm of True Yuan erupted from the top of his head, rushing into the Nine Heavens Cloud.

Witnessing this terrifying aura, Wu Changwen was filled with envy.

"My master’s power has increased greatly. It seems he is close to breaking the Life and Death Shackles, ascending to the true Mahayana Realm!"

When speaking of the "Mahayana Realm," Wu Changwen’s eyes naturally sparkled.

Seeing Zhuge Hu’s displayed prowess, Li Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

However, it was merely a slight furrow.

Zhuge Hu is merely at the Half-step Mahayana God Monarch Realm, similar to Hu Chong, the Outer Elder of the Cloud Dragon Palace.

To kill him, Li Chen might need to use a few more techniques.

Within the entire Great Wu Palace, only the King Wu Badao, who has ascended as a Mahayana Divine Monarch, might pose some threat to him.

Everyone else is not worth considering!

Zhuge Hu wielded the horsetail whisk, glaring angrily, and shouted, "Li Chen boy, I ask you one last time, are you willing to submit?"

Li Chen, not backing down, directly met Zhuge Hu’s gaze and responded sternly, "Such nuisance! If it’s a fight, then fight; why so many unnecessary words?"

Hearing Li Chen’s response, Zhuge Hu laughed in fury, repeating "good" three times.

"Good. Good. Good. Today, I will let you witness the true capabilities of this National Master!"

After Zhuge Hu spoke, the horsetail whisk in his hand was flung out violently, growing in the wind, transforming into a gigantic white dragon, with a menacing maw, roaring with a soul-stirring dragon’s cry, charging towards Li Chen.

Li Chen reached out into the air, shouting, "Sword, come!"

The Seven-star Dragon Abyss, like a divine dragon roaming the sky, spun in mid-air, and landed steadily in Li Chen’s hand.

Li Chen drew the sword blade across his palm, using his own Essence Blood to nourish the Dragon Soul within.

The Dragon Soul, rejuvenated by Li Chen’s Essence Blood, burst forth with a dazzling brilliance.

Seeing the timing was right, Li Chen stepped forward, ascending against the void.

"I wield a sword, capable of piercing the firmament, breaking mountains and rivers, and slaughtering Ghost Gods!"

Before he finished speaking, the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in Li Chen’s hand slashed across the void.

The condensed, peerless Sword Shadow tore through layers of space, extending towards Zhuge Hu.

"Boom!"

The two deadly moves collided in mid-air, the violent True Yuan rippling out like water waves spreading in all directions.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, palaces, trees, and mountains were completely obliterated.

The area of effect was so vast that many soldiers of the Great Wu Dynasty were too weak in cultivation to withstand such a violent impact and were instantly torn to pieces, with gushing blood forming rivers, emitting a pungent blood stench, a scene too appalling to behold.

Witnessing such a terrifying scene, the expressions of Wu Changwen and Du Xiang were filled with shock.

Both of them prided themselves as Heaven’s Chosen Son and Holy Daughter, but compared to Li Chen, they were like dwarfs next to giants, completely negligible.

This reignited the jealousy and fury in Wu Changwen’s heart.

If his gaze could kill, Li Chen might have died a thousand times by now.

Du Xiang glanced at Wu Changwen, hesitantly asked, "Ninth Prince, do you think the National Master can defeat this rascal?"

Before Du Xiang’s words had settled, Wu Changwen hurriedly responded, almost hysterical.

"Absolutely, my master is the first below a Mahayana Divine Monarch. Li Chen, no matter how monstrous, is merely a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, no match for my master!"

Perhaps even Wu Changwen himself didn’t realize that when he said these words, his voice was loud, but his tone was trembling slightly.

Evidently, this also demonstrated a lack of confidence!

Seeing the usually gentle Ninth Prince suddenly turn fierce, akin to a Devil ready to devour someone, Du Xiang’s heart trembled. Subsequently, she swallowed the words she meant to say, not daring to utter another word...
