Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 422 - 419 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone [Second Update]
Chapter 422: Chapter 419 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone [Second Update]
"Hmph, you dared to come; now stay!"
Li Chen grunted angrily, gathering a death vortex in the palm of his hand, which directly sucked in Thousand Faces.
"Roar, roar!"
Before Thousand Faces could even land, the Divine Tiger leaped up, opening its massive jaw fiercely, and biting him around the waist severely.
"Ah!"
"Splat!"
Thousand Faces let out a miserable scream in mid-air, his blood pouring down like a waterfall, dyeing the entire apricot forest red.
However, even so, the Divine Tiger showed no signs of letting him go. With its large mouth, it chewed and ruthlessly swallowed him into its belly. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Witnessing such a fierce scene, even Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a sense of shame.
This was ten times more ferocious than when he plucked out Master Wuxin’s heart.
Just then, Li Chen saw at the foot of the mountain, disciples of Medicine King Valley all dressed in white, carrying a coffin, heading towards Yan Mountain in a mighty procession.
Seeing this, and recalling the incident of Thousand Faces impersonating him, Li Chen knew it was a set-up.
However, with Thousand Faces already swallowed by the Divine Tiger, dead without evidence, and given his infamous reputation in the worldly society, it would be hard for anyone to believe his innocence.
Moreover, Li Chen also wanted them to jump around for a bit, to lure the real mastermind behind this.
Hmph, anyone daring to provoke me, Li Chen, must be prepared to repent in hell!
"Roar, roar!"
The Divine Tiger sensed the death aura of Sunx Baiyang and howled towards the sky.
It wanted to charge down but was stopped by Li Chen.
"Divine Tiger, rushing down now won’t help; it will only make things worse. Trust me, I will avenge him. None who dare provoke me will be spared!"
The Divine Tiger seemed to understand Li Chen’s words; its front paws knelt on the ground, and it actually shed two scorching tears.
Li Chen stepped forward, patted its head, and said, "Alright, don’t be sad, let’s go!"
...
Two days later, Central Continent Yuann Family:
The Blizzard Goddess, African Lion King, and Lady Rose ran frantically for two days and nights, only daring to stop upon reaching Central Continent.
This was Yuann Family’s territory, where even War God Li Lingtian wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
Yuann Family Master, Yuann Jintian, seeing only the three of them returning in such a sorry state, was surprised and urgently asked, "What happened, where are the others?"
The Blizzard Goddess, with a sullen face, said, "That Immortal Master Li is too formidable; Thunderbolt Dharma King, Master Wuxin, and Human Ape King Kong, all three perished by his hand, only the three of us managed to escape back!"
"What about Tang Yulang?"
The one asking was Yuann Yuxiu, the direct granddaughter from the senior branch of the Yuann Family. Tang Yulang she mentioned was Thousand Faces—the disciple of Bashu Tang Sect and also her fiancé.
The Blizzard Goddess, Lady Rose, and African Lion King remained silent.
Although they didn’t witness the death of Thousand Faces, even by thinking with their toes, they knew he couldn’t have escaped from Immortal Master Li’s fatal grip, especially with the Medicine King Valley’s Divine Tiger present.
The message they brought back was shocking, but it fell within what Yuann Jintian had anticipated.
When Old Four sent back the message, planning to use Heavenly Net’s hand to eliminate Immortal Master Li, he felt the move was inappropriate.
He consulted with the other branches and decided on the current plan.
This plan has three benefits:
One, self-contained trouble resolves internally, saving them from paying fifty billion US Dollars to Heavenly Net.
Two, it would significantly boost the prestige of the Yuann Family, paving the way for their family to reclaim the throne as the number one family in Huaxia.
Three, by killing Immortal Master Li in the country, they could eliminate a significant threat and also undermine the Li Family’s arrogance, causing unrest within their ranks.
If they could kill Immortal Master Li in the encirclement directly, that would be perfect.
If not, they could initiate a second plan: kill with a borrowed knife.
Use War God Li Lingtian’s hand to kill Immortal Master Li!
Now, the entire Chinese world, both nationally and globally, knows that Immortal Master Li broke into Medicine King Valley uninvited, killing Valley Master Sunx Baiyang.
Sunx Baiyang and Li Lingtian have been close friends for half a century, and the Medicine King Valley is under the protection of Imperial Capital Li Family.
Now that Sunx Baiyang has been killed by Immortal Master Li, as his close friend and current Family Head of the Li Family, Li Lingtian has to stand up and seek justice for Sunx Baiyang.
Otherwise, all the families under the North Country’s protection of the Li Family would grow disillusioned.
Now that Li Lingtian doesn’t stand up for Medicine King Valley, if their family encounters difficulties in the future, the Imperial Capital Li Family will definitely not stand up for them either.
So, why should they still seek refuge under the Imperial Capital Li Family?
As the saying goes: When the tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it!
Therefore, countless prestigious families dream of seeing Immortal Master Li in misfortune, even falling.
These people gathered around the disciples of Medicine King Valley, carrying the coffin of Sunx Baiyang’s corpse, staging a silent sit-in at the front gate of the Li Family, pressuring the Imperial Capital Li Family to make a statement.
They demanded that Li Lingtian must kill Immortal Master Li at any cost, to avenge Sunx Valley Master, to act on behalf of justice, and to restore peace and order to the Huaxia Martial World.
The situation was massive and momentarily out of control.
If Li Lingtian couldn’t resolve this matter properly, the Imperial Capital Li Family would lose face. Their prestige in the martial world would plummet completely; people’s trust would waver, and the foundation would become unstable.
If this incites public outrage and other families join forces, toppling the entire Li Family wouldn’t be impossible.
Yuann Family’s chess move, a direct strike targeting the Central Palace of the Li Family, left Li Lingtian no choice but to respond.
Yan Mountain, Li Family:
Manipulated by the Yuann Family behind the scenes, intensifying the pressure step by step, even the Undefeated War God Li Lingtian, was extremely vexed this time.
Having no choice, he had to go to the secret room, to seek his grandfather Li Jinliang’s opinion.
After listening to Li Lingtian’s explanation, Li Jinliang pondered for a long time before he spoke:
"Lingtian, Medicine King Valley is our Li Family’s trustworthy ally, now that Sunx Baiyang died tragically, if our Li Family shows no stance, I fear it might dishearten other affiliated forces and shake the foundation of our entire family!"
Li Lingtian urgently responded, "Grandfather, I have considered all that you mentioned. But Li Chen is Lingyun’s son, he is one of our own; how could I possibly make a move against him?"
Li Jinliang smiled and asked Li Lingtian, "Lingtian, what do you think your chances are against your own nephew?"
Li Lingtian thought for a moment and said, "Azure Dragon can take ten moves from Li Chen without defeat, so I believe I have a 90% chance to win against him!"
Li Jinliang continued, "What if you give him three more months to grow, how confident are you then?"
Li Lingtian was startled; Li Chen’s growth rate was extremely fast, even the prodigious younger brother Lingyun from back then probably couldn’t catch up.
Half a year ago, Li Chen first made a name for himself at Yuhua Mountain, and Li Lingtian had already set his sights on him.
At that time, although Li Chen was formidable, he had just entered the Transformation Realm. Facing Early Innate-stage Tie Wudi, he still struggled a bit.
But within three months, he had the strength to slay a Late-stage Innate Dragon Family Ancestor.
Now, he could kill a Grandmaster with a single finger, slay five Spiritual Snakes in Demigod Realm, and even withstand a blow from a Tianzhu Mountain Master.
In other words, in just half a year, Li Chen had completed a journey that normal martial artists might not finish in half a century. If given another three months of growth, facing him would truly be an unknown variable.
Contemplating this, Li Lingtian extended five fingers, giving a very modest yet fairly reasonable answer.
"Fifty-fifty!"
Li Jinliang nodded and said, "In that case, you and your nephew should have a good spar, just like you did with Lingyun back in the day!"
Li Lingtian nodded understandingly and said, "Alright, grandfather, I understand!"
"By the way, grandfather, it’s quite possible that Li Chen might not even know his own origins. Should we find an opportunity to recognize him?"
Li Jinliang thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Now is a time of turmoil, not the time for recognition. Besides, no matter what, it was our fault what happened to Lingyun back in the day. If we rashly attempt to recognize each other now, it may backfire. We’ll discuss this matter later!"
Li Lingtian said, "Alright, grandfather, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go down and get busy!"
Li Jinliang waved his hand, "Yes, you go. I’m also tired and would like to rest for a while. For these three months, if there’s nothing urgent, just handle it yourself; no need to consult me again!"
"Understood, grandfather, please take care of your health!"
Having said that, he bowed deeply and slowly left.
On the seventh day of Sunx Baiyang’s passing, Li Lingtian personally went to Medicine King Valley to offer sacrifices and incense.
And at his spirit hall, he declared; three months later, at the peak of Yan Mountain, he would challenge Donghua Li Immortal Master!
This news shocked the world.
Although some people were dissatisfied that Li Lingtian was scheduling the challenge for three months later instead of immediately,
Still, he had made a public stance, and pushing him too far wouldn’t be right.
At this moment, the entire Huaxia Martial World, even the whole world, was eagerly anticipating the life and death duel between Li Lingtian and Li Immortal Master in three months.
Would Huaxia War God Li Lingtian continue his undefeated legend?
Or would Li Immortal Master surge ahead and become an even brighter rising star?
