Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 223 - 223 222 Grandmaster Duel【Second Update】

223: Chapter 222 Grandmaster Duel【Second Update】 223: Chapter 222 Grandmaster Duel【Second Update】 Noon was approaching, and dark clouds rolled in from the east, obscuring the sun and sky.

In an instant, a torrential downpour began!

Most of the tourists had already left one after another; after all, the information they received was just about the authorities conducting a counter-terrorism joint operation.

This sort of thing they’d seen plenty of on TV, and it held little interest for them.

However, none of the martial artists in the know left.

They all craned their necks, looking around, eager for the main event to start.

After all, a grandmaster showdown of this unprecedented brilliance was not something you could see in a movie theater whenever you wished.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

If they missed this opportunity, finding another such spectacle would not be easy.

Amidst the curtain of rain, a beautifully adorned pleasure boat was slowly making its way across the river.

On both sides of the boat, there were lifelike Azure Dragons with bared teeth and claws, a symbol of the Long Family’s untouchable majesty.

Long Wuhen stood alone on the deck, dressed in a white mystical robe.

Behind him on both sides stood Long Wujiang, the second eldest of the Long Family, and the think tank Chen Buyi, along with two grandmaster-level venerated elders.

One who could control a province at the Half-step Innate level could only stand at the edge of this boat, and they didn’t dare to show any temper.

This showed just how terrifying the Long Family’s foundation was.

With such a formidable lineup, even the War God Li Lingtian would not dare to be careless if he were present.

“Think Tank, noon is almost upon us.

Do you think that Donghua Li Immortal Master is afraid of Brother and won’t dare to come?” asked Long Wujiang.

Chen Buyi shook his feather fan and said, “Second Master, that Immortal Master Li became famous at a young age, effortlessly suppressing the likes of Tie Wudi and Qin Tianlong.

If you were in his shoes, would you ruin your own reputation?”

“Tie Wudi and Qin Tianlong, what are they compared to Brother?

They are not even in the same league.” Although Long Wujiang spoke fiercely, his tone had significantly weakened.

At this moment, Long Wuhen, who had been silent all along, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the east.

“He’s here!”

In an instant, the rapid summer rain on West Lake began to boil.

Everyone’s gaze focused on a black speck against the eastern horizon.

In the misty rain, a handsome young man was seen walking on the lake, romanticizing the entire ten miles of West Lake.

“So that’s Donghua Li Immortal Master; I didn’t expect him to be so young!”

Chen Buyi, Long Wujiang, and the others, upon seeing Li Chen’s “true face,” were all taken aback.

Although they had heard about Donghua Li Immortal Master, that he had comprehended Innate at such a young age, now that they saw him with their own eyes, they were still profoundly shocked.

Arms open wide, Long Wuhen stood like a Roc spreading its wings, confronting Li Chen through the air.

“Long have I heard of Donghua Li Immortal Master’s fame, and seeing you today, it truly lives up to the name!”

Li Chen’s eyes grew cold as he spoke indifferently, “Long Wuhen, I originally thought you were a man of honor, but I didn’t expect you to stoop to such despicable deeds.

If I don’t slay you today, then my surname isn’t Li!”

Five minutes ago, Li Chen had received a phone call from Aunt Tang, who said she had been in a car accident at the hospital entrance.

Fortunately, it was a close call with no serious harm, except for the Jade Pendant that Li Chen had sent through Chuxue, which shattered on the spot.

She worried about her daughter and Li Chen encountering any mishap, and hence she called them first thing.

Now, at this crucial moment, Aunt Tang had an accident.

Even a fool could guess who the mastermind behind it was.

The Dragon’s Scale, when touched, incites fury!

Aunt Tang had treated him as her own for the past five years, giving him everything Ye Chuxue had, without missing a thing.

But the people of the Long Family dared to engage in such despicable tactics behind his back, fully igniting his rage.

Although Long Wuhen wasn’t sure of the reason, Li Chen’s arrogant and disrespectful attitude infuriated him, and naturally, he couldn’t be bothered to explain such petty trifles.

“The arrogant youth, to slay me, you probably aren’t capable enough!” mocked Long Wuhen.

Li Chen sneered, “Whether I am capable or not, we shall see!”

“Then good, I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

As he spoke, a sound as loud as Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire emanated from Long Wuhen’s body.

His formidable aura shook West Lake to its core.

…

“The grandmaster showdown is about to begin!”

A half-step innate martial artist at the shore said excitedly.

“Grandpa, what does Immortal Master Li look like?

Is he handsome?

Hmph, this damned rain, why does it choose to fall now and not earlier or later?

It’s so thick I can’t make out his face, and I can’t tell if he’s handsome or not.”

Little Qianqian pointed at the rain and complained incessantly.

The white-haired elder felt ashamed; why was his granddaughter’s focus always off-track?

Immortal Master Li wasn’t someone who relied on his looks, so what did it matter if he was handsome?

In an instant, the tranquil West Lake boiled over like a pot on fire.

Powerful figures who ruled over their domains, family heads, even sect leaders were all like giraffes, standing on tiptoes, craning their necks, waiting in anticipation.

Their excitement surpassed that of crazy fans meeting their long-legged heartthrobs.

Qin Qingwu held her heart with both hands, staring with her beautiful, wide-open eyes unblinkingly at Li Chen upon West Lake.

Qin Tianlong, Zhang Tianrui, and others had unreadable expressions on their faces, but their hearts were already experiencing stormy waves.

This battle was crucial to the fortune of both families for the next fifty years; they could not be more cautious.

Qin Feng had a complex expression; he hoped that Li Chen would win, yet he didn’t want him to, his heart was extremely conflicted.

The Tang Family disciples were also standing on the deck, standing on tiptoes, looking towards the center of the lake.

“Wow, he’s so cool, how great would it be if I could be like him one day?” Tang Zhiyong clenched his fists, looking extraordinarily excited.

“Eh, is that Immortal Master Li?

Chuxue, doesn’t his figure resemble your little lover?” Liuu Yiyi gently tugged Ye Chuxue’s arm and asked with some hesitation.

Ye Chuxue’s face was solemn as frost, and her eyes, watery like pools, were filled with ripples of worry.

Clearly, she had recognized that the carefree young man on the lake was her Brother Chen.

“You promised me, to protect me for life, you must not break your word!”

“Chuxue, what did you just say?

I didn’t hear you clearly, can you say it again?” Liuu Yiyi asked offhandedly, not having heard Ye Chuxue’s whisper.

Before she could finish her sentence, a deafening explosion rang out from the lake.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the peaceful West Lake, as still as a mirror, erupted with shocking waves.

Many boats afar, even miles away, shook violently.

“Whoosh!”

Li Chen’s silhouette soared and twirled in the air with the splashing waves.

A single step he took on the lake surface immediately summoned a whirlpool, causing the entire West Lake to tremble.

The White Bone Jade Sword was summoned in the air, its three-inch glow multiplied a thousand times over, forming a thirty-three-yard-long trail like a polar ice-breaking ship cleaving through the lake, with an unstoppable force headed straight towards Long Wuhen.

This sword technique was the very Mountain River Breaking that Li Chen had just comprehended.

A single strike could make mountains bow and rivers cease their flow!

Long Wuhen had not expected Li Chen to use such an earth-shattering move right from the start, and his face immediately became exceptionally serious, casting aside all underestimation.

“Well done, truly worthy of being Immortal Master Li from Donghua, you have not disappointed me!”

Long Wuhen’s arms spread quickly, with his mysterious blue robe fluttering without wind.

“Boom!”

A column of water broke through the surface of the lake, like a Jiao Long leaping from the sea, soaring into the sky.

This was a long blade, over nine feet long with a pattern of dragons encircling the moon inscribed on the blade, and the surrounding edge radiated a daunting cold light.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen’s pupils constricted slightly, and his expression grew more solemn.

Was this the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade?
