Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 227 - 227 226 The Furious Toad First Update

227: Chapter 226: The Furious Toad [First Update] 227: Chapter 226: The Furious Toad [First Update] The Heavenly Horse before his eyes belonged to a mature Half-Spiritual Beast, its combat strength roughly equivalent to an early stage Grandmaster.

However, its speed was too fast.

So fast that Li Chen couldn’t lock onto it in the first moment.

Not to mention, with the old monster of the Dragon Family Ancestor watching eagerly, Li Chen was pressed for time and could only struggle to keep up.

At this moment, the hearts of the spectators on the lakeshore were also suspended in their throats.

The Martial Artists watching were dazzled, wishing they could transform into Li Chen or the Dragon Family Ancestor, with a mere gesture they could make mountains bow and the heavens and earth change color – how glorious would that be?

As for ordinary people like Liuu Yiyi and Tang Wan’er, they were already gaping with mouths wide open, eyes blank, staring blankly at everything, faces full of disbelief.

Liuu Yiyi rubbed her eyes and let out an incredulous exclamation: “My goodness, is this even human?

Even a Hollywood blockbuster isn’t this thrilling, right?”

Tang Wan’er glanced at her brother kneeling on the ground, surprised: “Huh, Zhiyong, why are you kneeling?

Didn’t get scared into jelly legs, did you?”

Tang Zhiyong rolled his eyes at his sister and said, “Sis, you’re the one who got scared into jelly legs.

I am showing them respect.

A true man born in this world should aspire to be like this!”

Ye Chuxue, however, walked alone by the water’s edge, her palm gently open, inside was a crystalline clear Jade Toad.

With her jade-like fingers, she gently stroked the Jade Toad’s head: “Little Cutie, go help him!”

“Quack quack, quack quack!”

The Jade Golden Toad puffed out its cheeks and with a ‘plop’ sound, jumped into West Lake.

The calm surface of the lake hid surging undercurrents.

A huge creature, moving at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, was rapidly heading towards the Heavenly Horse.

The Heavenly Horse, in pursuit of Li Chen, also sensed the approaching danger and immediately became restless.

“Jade Golden Toad?”

Li Chen saw the Jade Golden Toad lurking under the water and was startled.

Subconsciously, he glanced towards the Tang Family’s pleasure boat and saw Ye Chuxue staring at him with wide watery eyes, flashing him a sweet smile.

The Dragon Family Ancestor also saw the monster at the bottom of the lake and couldn’t help but feel a great shock.

He fiercely patted the Heavenly Horse’s neck, shouting: “Not good, there’s danger in the lake, hurry and leave this place!”

Seeing the Dragon Family Ancestor attempting to flee, Li Chen acted without hesitation, took out the Qiankun Treasure Mirror, and shined it onto West Lake to cause the water to roll in waves, raising a surge of waves several meters high, rushing toward the Heavenly Horse.

The Heavenly Horse’s escape route was obstructed by the waves, with its speed halted for a moment.

That was the opportunity Li Chen needed.

He shouted toward the West Lake’s bottom.

“Froggy, your takeout has arrived!”

“Boom!”

The Jade Golden Toad, like a lurking crocodile seizing a goat that came to drink by the river, suddenly leaped out of the water.

Its massive crimson tongue instantly wrapped around the Heavenly Horse’s hind legs, forcefully dragging it down to the bottom of the lake.

“Sss sss, sss sss!”

The Heavenly Horse, in pain, raised its head and neighed.

“Evil beast, courting death!”

Seeing the Heavenly Horse’s hind legs entangled, the Dragon Family Ancestor raised his palm and slammed it towards the Jade Golden Toad’s head.

“Whoosh!”

Just at this critical moment, Li Chen, with the White Bone Jade Sword in hand, rushed forward, positioned between the Dragon Family Ancestor and the Jade Golden Toad.

“Old scoundrel, your opponent is me.

Hitting a beast, doesn’t it cheapen you?”

The Dragon Family Ancestor, furious and feeling ashamed, bellowed: “Damnable!

If I do not slay you today, I vow no longer to be a human!”

Before his words had even landed, the Dragon Family Ancestor was shrouded in surging True Yuan, his hair standing on end in frenzy.

Li Chen knew the terror of the Dragon Family Ancestor and did not dare have any hint of underestimation.

In fact, with his movement technique, he could completely choose the most advantageous fighting strategy.

However, if that were to happen, the Jade Golden Toad, which is currently battling the Heavenly Horse, would become the first target of the Dragon Family Ancestor’s attack.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to block the Dragon Family Ancestor.

To buy precious time for the Jade Golden Toad to devour the Half-Spiritual Beast Heavenly Horse.

With his mind set, Li Chen clapped his hands together and launched a palm strike into the air.

“Drawing the ground as a prison!”

This was a defensive Array from the Moo Family, designed to imprison a designated target within a circle.

The duration depended on the relative strength of both parties.

Based on Li Chen’s current strength, he could trap the Dragon Family Ancestor for at most three to five breaths of time.

“Hmph, you think a mere Drawing the ground as a prison can trap me?” sneered the Dragon Family Ancestor, raising his hands high, as if lifting a great mountain in the void.

This was one of his ultimate skills, the Moving Mountain Technique.

If cultivated to its peak, it could lift a real mountain.

However, that level could only be reached upon entering the God Realm.

The Dragon Family Ancestor, though at the peak of Innate Late Stage and a mere step away from the God Realm, found that final leap as vast as the heavens—a threshold many astonishing geniuses failed to ever cross in their lives.

Thus, with his own True Yuan, he could only lift an illusory mountain, and sustain it for merely three breaths.

However, he believed that three breaths were more than enough to slay Li Chen, who was at Middle Innate Stage.

“Break for me!”

With a roaring shout from the Dragon Family Ancestor, the Array Li Chen had set up, Drawing the ground as a prison, was smashed to smithereens.

The violent True Yuan, like the shockwave from a missile explosion, shook Li Chen to the core, nearly disassembling his skeleton and fracturing multiple bones.

But even so, Li Chen did not retreat a step, taking the hit with his physical body.

Seeing Li Chen withstand the Absolute Kill technique, the Moving Mountain Technique, with his physical body alone, the Dragon Family Ancestor’s expression changed.

“I didn’t expect your body to be so formidable.

It seems you are not just a Transformation Realm Grandmaster but also a Master of Cross-training!”

Li Chen forcibly suppressed the churning blood in his body and replied resolutely: “Old fool, there’s a lot you didn’t expect!”

“Behold the sword, Thousand Layers Slash!”

As his fierce words still echoed on the tip of his tongue, Li Chen’s White Bone Jade Sword had already struck with a Sky Breaking Slash.

“Again with this move, can’t you change it up a bit?”

Despite his words, the Dragon Family Ancestor’s face bore an unprecedented solemnity.

Clearly, the sharpness of this sword strike forced him to address it with full concentration.

In fact, Li Chen was well aware that this sword could not truly slay the Dragon Family Ancestor.

However, delaying him for a while was certainly no issue.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Jade Golden Toad and the Heavenly Horse had also reached a critical life-or-death moment.

Due to a successful surprise attack by the Jade Golden Toad right from the start, the hind legs of the Heavenly Horse were severely injured.

Therefore, the Jade Golden Toad had been dominating the fight from the beginning.

Nevertheless, the Heavenly Horse was not an ordinary wild horse but a Half-Spiritual Beast.

Its terrifying combat power when cornered also gave the Jade Golden Toad a hard time, swelling its already ugly face.

“Quack, quack, quack!” The Jade Golden Toad, seeing its face deformed, was utterly enraged.

If it could speak human language at that moment, it surely would have pointed at the Heavenly Horse and cursed: Didn’t your mother tell you not to hit a toad’s face directly?

Do you not realize that I need this face to earn my keep?

Warty toads are not to be trifled with.

A raging warty toad, even less so.

It puffed its cheeks into two massive balloons, like a snake swallowing an elephant, it opened its large maw and lunged towards the Heavenly Horse.

…

The first update is here, may I timidly ask for a recommendation ticket?

If not, then I won’t ask for it, covering my face as I flee.
