Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 246 - 246 245 Disable Gongzi Yuu Second Update

246: Chapter 245: Disable Gongzi Yuu [Second Update] 246: Chapter 245: Disable Gongzi Yuu [Second Update] Ye Chuxue might have been an ordinary person, but she could clearly feel the tense and volatile atmosphere of the scene.

She subconsciously stepped back and clutched the hem of Li Chen’s clothes tightly.

Li Chen reached back and held her small hand, sending warmth and strength into her palm; Ye Chuxue instantly felt reassured and gave him a warm smile.

From the moment he entered, Gongzi Yuu had kept his eyes on Ye Chuxue.

The subtle movements between her and Li Chen hadn’t escaped his discerning gaze.

To break the current deadlock and completely bring down Immortal Master Li, this fairy-like girl in front of him was the perfect breach.

If he could capture her first, he could force Li Chen into submission.

After settling on a good plan, Gongzi Yuu signaled to Xuan Hu and the others with his eyes.

Understanding his intention, Xuan Hu and the others, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each exhibited their Divine Skills and attacked Li Chen with their weapons from all sides.

Seeing this, Li Chen sneered coldly, “A bunch of ants daring to be presumptuous in front of me?”

As his words fell, his palm flickered with thunder, striking towards Xuan Hu and his group.

“Boom and crackle!”

“Ah!”

Xuan Hu was instantly burnt to a crisp on the spot, his hair standing on end, mouth spitting out black smoke, lying half-dead on the ground.

Gongzi Yuu had never really counted on Xuan Hu and the others to kill Li Chen; he simply wanted to use them as cannon fodder to create an opportunity for himself to seize Ye Chuxue.

Now, the opportunity had arrived!

“Whoosh!”

He moved as fast as lightning, trying to grab Ye Chuxue’s shoulder, prepared to take control of her at the first instance.

The distance between them was no more than ten meters, not even enough time for Immortal Master Li to come to the rescue with his Heavenly-defying Divine Powers.

Once he captured Ye Chuxue, he would effectively have grabbed Li Chen’s weak spot.

However, just as Gongzi Yuu was most pleased with himself, a flash of emerald light suddenly appeared.

Following that, a completely green frog leaped out from Ye Chuxue’s body and stood in front of Gongzi Yuu.

“Croak, croak!”

After two cries, the frog, originally no larger than a baby’s fist, inflated like a balloon being blown up, rapidly expanding.

In just a few breaths, it had grown into a colossal creature the size of an Audi car.

The round eyes of the Jade Golden Toad rolled about, fixing a deadly stare on Gongzi Yuu.

“Croak, croak!”

The normally meticulous Gongzi Yuu was taken aback by the succession of surprises.

Seeing the opportunity slip away, he hesitated no more, leaping towards the window in a desperate attempt to escape.

“Gongzi Yuu, do you think you can escape?”

Li Chen raised his hand, a vortex swirling in his palm, and struck towards Gongzi Yuu.

Gongzi Yuu, seeing the situation turn dire, pulled a short sword from his sleeve and held it midair, trying to block Li Chen’s fatal blow.

“Hmph, pitiful tricks, break for me!”

Li Chen suddenly shouted explosively, his fingers slicing through the air like a knife, directly towards Gongzi Yuu’s short sword.

“Crack!”

The short sword, unable to withstand the force, broke in the air.

“Pfft!”

Gongzi Yuu was struck hard in the chest, spewing out a mouthful of blood and collapsed heavily onto the ground.

Li Chen stepped forward, his voice chilly as he asked, “Gongzi Yuu, is this how you settle matters with me?”

Gongzi Yuu’s face was ashen, devoid of any courage to resist in the face of the Killing God-like Immortal Master Li.

Some in the worldly society grouped him with Qin Feng and Immortal Master Li, collectively calling them the Jiangnan Three Heroes.

He originally thought that even if he were no match for Li Chen, he would still manage a few exchanges in a fight.

Yet, to his utter surprise, Li Chen had only used a single finger to administer a crushing defeat, not even giving him a chance to retaliate.

Although both of them were Grandmasters, the gap between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.

“Immortal Master Li, I am utterly convinced by my defeat at your hands.

This document represents the full stock ownership my Gongzi family holds in Huayu Entertainment, certified by an authoritative lawyer.

You need only sign it for it to be legally effective!”

From the start, Gongzi Yuu was prepared for both eventualities.

If things could be settled amicably, so much the better.

If not, handing over Huayu Entertainment was the price for avoiding disaster.

Li Chen received the notarized document Gongzi Yuu handed over and said with a sneer, “Gongzi Yuu, what were you doing earlier?

Now you hand this thing over to me, don’t you think it’s a bit late?”

Gongzi Yuu seemed to have anticipated this, hence his face did not show much surprise.

He laughed miserably and said, “Immortal Master Li, I was at fault previously, but I alone should bear the consequences.

Whether it’s execution or mutilation, I, Gongzi Yuu, leave it to your discretion.

However, Master Xuan Hu and the others were deceived by me and unaware in advance.

Please spare their lives!”

Finishing his words, he adopted an appearance of righteousness, closed his eyes, and bravely prepared for execution.

In truth, given Gongzi Yuu’s ruthless nature, he would certainly not sacrifice his life for mere cannon fodder.

Nevertheless, circumstances forced him to take this step.

He was gambling that Li Chen would not dare to wage an endless battle with the Gongzi family and the Heavenly Master Sect.

He was betting that Li Chen would not dare to completely break ties with all the Mystical Sects and Martial Arts Families under heaven.

If he lost this bet, such a dignified death could be somewhat honorable.

Moreover, forces and families like the Taiping Sect, the Diancang Sword Sect, and Tingyu Building would remember his favor and would certainly band together to avenge his grievances one day.

Li Chen coldly chuckled, “Gongzi Yuu, although I have killed countless in my life, I am still someone who acts according to reason.

You took my Gathering Peak Pill, and now I take over your company.

We are even.”

“But you used my pill to break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and achieve Innate status, yet you set up this trap and repaid kindness with enmity.

You deserve death.

However, considering you’ve shown some sense, I’ll spare your life.

I’ll destroy your cultivation as a minor punishment!”

With these words, Li Chen slapped his hand on Gongzi Yuu’s top of the skull.

A violent True Yuan force entered his body, like wild horses breaking free, recklessly rampaging and trampling over his internal meridians.

“Ah!”

Gongzi Yuu convulsed painfully, rolling around on the ground and screaming incessantly.

After an unknown period, Gongzi Yuu finally quieted down.

He collapsed to the ground like a dead dog.

His once elegant hair aged visibly at an astonishing speed, turning gray and white.

His handsome face, once adored by countless young women, became lined with wrinkles, resembling shriveled walnut skin, and his tall, straight body became stooped.

The young and dashing Gongzi Yuu, in the blink of an eye, turned into a wrinkled old man with gray hair and a hunched figure.

Seeing that his cultivation had been completely destroyed and his body aged by at least fifty years, Gongzi Yuu felt a despair akin to death, a fate even worse than being killed outright.

He glared at Li Chen and, with a hoarse voice, shouted, “Li Chen, if you have the guts, kill me!

Kill me!”

Li Chen kicked him away and said, “If you want to die, go commit suicide.

Don’t put that on my account!”

“I said before, the one who can lift you up is the one who can bring you down.

You chose not to appreciate it and insisted on being my enemy.

This is your consequence!”

Having said that, he turned his gaze towards Xuan Hu, Xuu Lin, Cang Song, and the others.

Xuan Hu, Xuu Lin, Cang Song, and the others were so terrified that they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Their lives were hanging by a thread on Li Chen’s whim.

Li Chen sneered coldly, “A bunch of ants, killing you would only dirty my hands!”

After that, he looked tenderly at Ye Chuxue and said, “Xue’er, let’s go.”

Ye Chuxue nodded gently and together with Li Chen, they left hand in hand, leaving the private room.

Having done what they came for, they left without a trace, concealing their skills and reputation!
