Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 225 - 225 224 Dragon Family Ancestor Second Update

225: Chapter 224 Dragon Family Ancestor [Second Update] 225: Chapter 224 Dragon Family Ancestor [Second Update] “Puh-chi!”

Li Chen’s White Bone Jade Sword caught Long Wuhen off-guard, slicing his throat.

He spat out a mouthful of blood that stained the misty expanse of Jiangnan red.

“Family Head!”

Think Tank Chen Buyi caught Long Wuhen’s falling body, not bothering with anything else as he rushed out to his aid.

Chen Buyi had already made a move; if Long Wujiang did not act now, he would surely be criticized and might even be accused of standing by while someone died.

Having made up his mind, he cupped his fists towards Grandmasters Fan Guang and Wang Yang.

“May the two esteemed masters lend me a hand to encircle and kill Immortal Master Li!”

Fan Guang and Wang Yang glanced at one another before nodding their heads in succession.

Long Wujiang stood in the center, Fan Guang to the left, and Wang Yang to the right.

The three Grandmasters formed a ‘品’ shaped attack formation, moving from three directions to encircle and assault Li Chen.

The remaining eight Half-step Innate Masters, paired in twos, took positions to the east, south, west, and north, following Chen Buyi to rescue their Family Head Long Wuhen.

Facing the combined force of three Grandmasters, Li Chen did not dare to be careless.

He immediately abandoned the chance to finish off Long Wuhen and turned to face the three attackers.

“The timing is perfect.

I’ll offer your lives as a sacrifice to my sword today!”

Long Wujiang waved his sleeve and shouted, “Li Chen, you insolent boy, stop with your arrogance and come to accept your death!”

Seeing the situation take a drastic turn, with the Dragon Family mobilizing three Grandmasters to surround and kill Li Chen, all the onlookers were utterly astounded.

Tang Zhiyong, filled with a sense of justice, swore out loud, “Shameless Dragon Family!

It was bad enough to bully with strength, but now they even fight with numbers!”

“Zhiyong, keep it down.

If the people from the Dragon Family hear you, I’m afraid they’ll come looking for trouble!” Tang Wan’er gave him a glare and chastised him in a low voice.

“What’s there to fear?

If the Dragon Family can do such shameless acts, are they afraid of people talking?” Though he spoke in this manner, his tone clearly weakened towards the end.

The Dragon Family – the overlord that had dominated Jiangnan for a century, capable of causing countless small families to perish with a single stomp.

Ye Chuxue had remained silent throughout, only clasping her hands over her heart, silently praying for Li Chen.

Beyond prayer, there was nothing she could do at this moment.

It was in this instant that Ye Chuxue realized how insignificant she was, like a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

Not only Ye Chuxue, but Qin Qingwu also cared deeply for Li Chen’s safety.

“Dad, the Dragon Family is shameless, bullying with three against one.

Won’t you help him?”

Qin Tianlong did not answer his daughter but instead looked to Zhang Tianrui with a questioning gaze.

Zhang Tianrui pondered for a moment before gently shaking his head.

“Brother Qin seems to have forgotten that the Alliance Hierarch still has a top-grade Magical Treasure in hand, the Qiankun Mirror.

The fact that he hasn’t used it yet indicates he still has strength to spare.

If we rashly step in to help, I’m afraid it might backfire, possibly even offending the Alliance Hierarch!”

Upon hearing this, a light suddenly flashed in Qin Tianlong’s eyes.

“Right, the Qiankun Mirror, a top-grade Magical Treasure.

The Alliance Hierarch managed to kill the three Grandmasters Gui Ku, Mann Chong, and Yee Ti with it; surely he can also slay those three from the Dragon Family!”

He looked towards Long Wujiang with eyes filled with sympathy and pity.

…

However, Li Chen had not yet brought out the Qiankun Mirror.

After grappling with the three Grandmasters—Long Wujiang, Fan Guang, and Wang Yang—for five or six exchanges, he unleashed a palm strike in midair that stirred up towering waves, sweeping up a thousand loads of snow.

Knowing the terror of Immortal Master Li, Long Wujiang, Fan Guang, and Wang Yang dared not confront him directly and instead backed away.

Li Chen, meanwhile, did not pursue his advantage.

He spun in the air, standing atop drifting clouds, his body ensconced in a radiant aura, looking like the Nine Heavens Slaughter God.

“Swish!”

The White Bone Jade Sword hovered above his head, spinning rapidly.

In an instant, it became the eye of the storm, attracting the nearby drifting clouds and even birds passing by, absorbing all within.

The heavens and earth changed color, and thunder roared!

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded midair, followed by a ferocious wind as a colossal sword shadow rose up from the White Bone Jade Sword.

Hovering above Li Chen’s head, it became the main sword, continuously splitting into various sword shadows: one into two, two into three, multiplying into thousands in the blink of an eye.

In a flash, colorful sword shadows filled the sky, painting the entire West Lake with a magnificent spectrum of colors, unparalleled in beauty.

“True Martial Thirteen Swords, Third Sword: Thousand Layers Slash!”

Following Li Chen’s thunderous shout, a burst of light twinkled on the ancient Jade Sword.

Moments later, countless sword shadows, each bearing ferocious and sharp momentum, descended from midair.

Swords fell like rain, casting a solemn silence over heaven and earth!

The faces of Long Wujiang and the others paled, as they desperately executed their ultimate skills just to hold their ground.

Even the Grandmasters were forced into such dire straits, let alone the rest.

Aside from Chen Buyi, the other eight Half-step Innate Masters did not even get a chance to defend themselves before they were pierced through by thousands of swords, blood spraying everywhere.

Over West Lake, there are ghostly wails and wolfish howls, with screams that never seem to end.

Limbs and flesh fly about chaotically—a bloody, violent storm reminiscent of purgatory in the Human World.

“Phut!”

Among the three Grandmasters, Fan Guang, the weakest in cultivation, is the first to falter, his chest pierced by a Sword Shadow, blood gushing out.

“Phut!”

Following closely, the defenses of Grandmaster Wang Yang are breached.

Hundreds of sword shadows slice through him simultaneously, hacking his body to pieces.

Long Wujiang’s eyes widen in horror, his ability to resist completely drained.

He collapses to his knees with a “thud,” begging for mercy.

Li Chen’s gaze is sharp as lightning, standing on the cloud ladder with a three-foot sword in hand, like the Nine Nether Killing God.

He points his sword at the now bowing Long Wujiang and shouts fiercely,

“You claim to be Righteous Giants, yet you fish for fame and do despicable deeds, worthy of death!”

As Li Chen speaks, he swings his sword down.

Long Wujiang, seeing that Li Chen is unwilling to spare his life, suddenly rises, ready to fight like a trapped beast.

However, in an instant, all his defenses are shattered by Li Chen, with the ease of pulling up rotting wood.

“Phut!”

Long Wujiang is struck heavily in the chest, spits out a mouthful of fresh blood, and falls heavily to the ground.

Looking up at Li Chen, who has drained the romantic charm of West Lake, and then at his big brother lying in a pool of blood, gasping for his last breaths, a sense of unspeakable sadness wells up in Long Wujiang’s heart.

All his careful schemes amounted to nothing, not only did he fail to secure the position of the Family Head, but he also lost his own life—a bitter and laughable outcome.

Just as Long Wujiang closes his eyes, ready to accept his death, a resonant Buddhist roar—the Lion’s Roar —echoes through the Nine Heavens Cloud.

“Young man, do not harm my son!”

Hearing this voice, everyone’s hearts tremble.

Qin Tianlong, startled, lets out an uncontrollable, trembling cry of alarm.

“The Dragon Family Ancestor, he has actually left seclusion?”

Seven years ago, the Dragon Family Ancestor fought Li Lingtian.

Both battled fiercely for hundreds of rounds over this very West Lake, turning heaven and earth upside down.

Finally, he lost to Li Lingtian by half a move.

Since that day, he retreated into reclusion, not stepping out of his home for a full seven years.

There were even widespread rumors in the worldly society that the Dragon Family Ancestor had passed away.

Who could have imagined that he would leave seclusion today?

Seven years ago, he was at the Late-stage Innate.

After another seven years of intensive cultivation, his strength has undoubtedly soared, perhaps already reaching the Peak of Innate Realm.

Li Chen withdraws his gaze, staring fixedly towards the east.

A pure white horse, with not a single hair of a different color, is seen crossing the sky from the east.

On the horse stands an old man with the face of a youth, bare feet, and white clothing, his hands crossed in front of him, looking from afar like an ethereal Immortal Master.

A white horse arrives from the east; the Ancestor is unparalleled!

The Long Family and their vassal families all perform a kneeling salute at this sight.

Long Wuhen and Long Wujiang, two brothers, are overjoyed upon seeing that their father has left seclusion.

Especially Long Wujiang, who has just narrowly escaped from the Ghost Gate, is so overwhelmed with joy that he bursts into tears, looking like a wronged child with none of the composure of a Grandmaster.

Long Wuhen suppresses the pain in his body and gives a distant bow to the Dragon Family Ancestor.

“Father, you’ve emerged from seclusion?”

“Father, this scoundrel has severely injured my brother and me, and even killed two Grandmasters and dozens of Half-step Innate Masters from our Long Family.

You must take action and kill him to avenge us!”

The Dragon Family Ancestor’s face shows a flash of anger as he scolds, “A bunch of useless fools, only knowing how to lose face, now retreat!”

After sending his two unimpressive sons away, the Dragon Family Ancestor narrows his eyes slightly, with a spark of electricity shooting forth, as he looks straight at Li Chen.

“You must be the Donghua Li Immortal Master, whom the Heaven and Earth Alliance hails as a Martial Arts prodigy seen only once in a century?”

Li Chen’s expression is solemn, yet he responds with a faint smile, “That’s right, I am Immortal Master Li.

I didn’t expect to see that you are still alive, sir, what a great surprise!”

The Dragon Family Ancestor finds it curious that Li Chen exhibits no fear upon his arrival.

“Truly, a hero comes from the youth.

Today, let this old man measure your capabilities!”

Li Chen grins and says, “I was thinking the same thing.

I made a special trip here to see you off, sir!”

…

The second update, another long chapter of nearly 3000 words.

A little announcement, starting from this chapter, the protagonist’s name changes from Li Chen to Li Chen.

I will also retroactively modify the previous 223 chapters to avoid confusing readers.

Well, that’s all for now, still rolling around and cutely begging for your free vote of recommendation, thank you!
