271: Chapter 269: Just Because I’m Immortal Master Li!

[First Update] 271: Chapter 269: Just Because I’m Immortal Master Li!

[First Update] Hearing Shangguan Changhong’s provocation, Li Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips.

“You’re not even qualified to make me make a move!”

Shangguan Changhong was furious and shouted, “How can you know if you don’t try!”

“Shua!”

Before he had finished speaking, the Dragon Pattern Longsword in his hand had already been drawn three inches.

The cold light flickered, causing the temperature around to plummet.

Li Chen let out a cold smile and said, “Since you are bent on seeking death, then I shall fulfill your wish!”

As he spoke, his figure moved like the wind, like a White Crane spreading its wings, floating onto the platform.

Seeing Li Chen step onto the stage, Shangguan Changhong’s hand gripping the sword hilt was sweating, his mood tense and uneasy.

Whenever others introduced him, they would prefix his introduction with the disciple of the War God Li Lingtian, rather than calling him Shangguan Changhong directly.

For years, his pride deep in his bones, he had always sought the opportunity to step out from his master’s towering presence.

Now, the opportunity had come!

As long as he defeated Immortal Master Li, the name Shangguan Changhong would spread throughout Great Jiangnan and become the legend of a new generation.

“Immortal Master Li, where is your sword?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Shangguan Changhong’s sword had already been drawn halfway, with the intent to kill emanating wildly.

Li Chen sneered and said, “I don’t need that thing to deal with you!”

Having said that, he raised a finger towards Shangguan Changhong and slowly stated, “If you can take one of my moves and not be defeated, I’ll consider it my loss!”

“Arrogance!”

Shangguan Changhong was enraged, the Dragon Pattern Longsword in his hand fully unsheathed, turning into a dazzling lightning bolt charging towards Li Chen.

“Shua!”

The Sword Shadow carved out a cascade of frost, blanketing the sky, and the surrounding temperature instantly plummeted dozens of degrees, the piercing cold causing the grass and trees around to be coated with a layer of white frost.

“This is Frost Ice Slash, a signature Absolute Kill technique Senior Brother Shangguan realized after meditating for five years in the Arctic Ice Field!”

Seeing Shangguan Changhong using his ultimate technique right from the start, Li Yunjie was thrilled.

Li Wan’er’s expression was slightly complex; her gaze never leaving Li Chen, watching how he would respond.

Li Chen still stood in place, neither dodging nor evading, just wearing a mysterious smile, quietly watching Shangguan Changhong.

Shangguan Changhong was filled with surprise, he simply did not understand what trick Immortal Master Li was playing.

Frost Ice Slash was his signature technique, and the Dragon Pattern Ice Sword was a top-grade divine weapon.

Even his master, War God Li Lingtian, was not certain to catch this sword with his bare hands.

The direct distance between the two was now less than twenty meters!

Li Chen still stood still, with a serene smile on his face.

Ten meters!

Shangguan Changhong had already leaped into the air, locking down all the positions around Li Chen where he could dodge and move about.

With the Dragon Pattern Ice Sword raised high in his hand, he prepared to deliver the Absolute Kill with the momentum of a hawk hunting a rabbit.

Li Chen still did not move!

Five meters!

“Immortal Master Li, go to your death!”

In the last five meters, Shangguan Changhong’s Sky Breaking Slash came cutting through the air.

At that moment, everyone present held their breath.

Qin Feng, who had just sparred with Shangguan Changhong, knew just how formidable the opponent was.

Li Wan’er and her brother Li Yunjie both widened their eyes, unblinkingly watching the scene on the stage.

At this critical moment, Li Chen moved.

Still as a maiden, swift as a thunderbolt!

He didn’t advance but instead swiftly moved closer in retreat, striking with a palm towards Shangguan Changhong in mid-air.

Shangguan Changhong didn’t dare underestimate, changing his move in the air, slashing his sword towards Li Chen’s large palm.

“Boom!”

The sharp sword broke through the sky, and the hand energy was shattered with a thunderous sound.

Instantly, the whole world seemed to change color.

Shangguan Changhong saw that Immortal Master Li’s palm strike was no more than ordinary and his sense of superiority was written all over his face.

However, at the next instant, his expression suddenly stiffened on his face.

“Pfft!”

Shangguan Changhong only felt a sweetness in his throat and spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood before crashing heavily to the ground.

Li Chen glanced at the Dragon Pattern Ice Sword hovering in mid-air and said indifferently, “This sword looks fairly decent!”

After finishing his sentence, he raised his palm, and the Dragon Pattern Ice Sword flew obediently into the palm of his hand as if it were a well-behaved child.

Witnessing such an unbelievable scene, everyone present nearly dropped their eyeballs to the ground in shock.

Especially Li Wan’er, who was at a loss for words.

Although she had estimated Li Chen’s abilities as highly as possible, she never expected that his seemingly light palm strike would defeat Shangguan Changhong so cleanly and neatly.

Even seeing it with her own eyes, she found it hard to believe that all of this was real for a short while.

One must know that even her father, who had not tasted defeat in thirty years and was hailed as the Undefeated War God, might not be able to achieve this feat.

Could it be that he already possessed the strength to face her father head-on?

Thinking these thoughts, Li Wan’er subconsciously looked over at Li Chen again.

Under twenty, and already possessing the strength to face her father head-on, wasn’t this monstrously talented?

If he were given another twenty years to grow, wouldn’t reaching the God Realm be within expectations?

Shangguan Changhong’s face was ashen, and he looked at everything bewilderedly, clutching his chest.

He still didn’t understand how he had lost.

Li Chen’s palm strike had certainly been domineering, but his sword strike was by no means weak, and both parties were evenly matched.

Moreover, he had indeed broken through Li Chen’s palm imprint, so how did he end up so confusedly defeated in the end?

Qin Tianlong, who had been silent all along, suddenly cried out in shock: “This is a Palm Within a Palm!”

Palm Within a Palm, as the name suggests, is one palm encasing another palm, somewhat similar to continuous chain palm strikes.

However, Li Chen’s palm strike was very fast, and since the distance between them was so close, Shangguan Changhong managed to break the first layer but was hit by the hidden hand energy inside, which led to his defeat.

Li Chen toyed with the Dragon Pattern Ice Sword for a while, then said to Shangguan Changhong indifferently, “You lost, consider this sword a trophy of war!”

“This is property of the Li Family, what right do you have to take it?”

Li Yunjie heard Li Chen wanting to take away the Dragon Pattern Ice Sword and hastily shouted.

Li Chen didn’t answer, only sweeping Li Yunjie with a cold glance.

Li Yunjie was scared out of his wits and quickly shut his mouth.

Li Wan’er, worried Li Chen would strike her brother, immediate felt her heart lodged in her throat.

Li Chen let out a cold laugh and said, “On the grounds that I am Immortal Master Li, is that reason enough?”

Li Yunjie was too scared to speak, and Shangguan Changhong had no face to speak either.

Li Wan’er composed herself and said, “Since Immortal Master Li desires this sword, then take it.

However, the Li Family will engrave today’s events into our memory!”

“Yunjie, let’s go!”

Li Chen did not stop them.

It wasn’t that he was being chivalrous, he simply felt there was no need for it.

First, troubling a girl was not his style.

Secondly, he had already made too many enemies at the moment and it was not wise to provoke the enormous Imperial Capital Li Family.

After Li Wan’er and the two others left, Qin Tianlong, with a hint of concern in his tone, reminded, “Alliance Hierarch, the girl just now seems to be Li Lingtian’s biological daughter!”

Li Chen was nonchalant and said lightly, “So what if she is?

Do you think I am worried Li Lingtian will shamelessly try to wed his daughter to me?”

Qin Tianlong and Qin Feng were both rendered speechless, their faces the epitome of embarrassment.

“Alliance Hierarch, Li Lingtian has been undefeated for thirty years and is hailed as the Undefeated Myth of Huaxia.

If we become enemies with him, I fear…”

Before he could finish, Li Chen waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly, “There’s nothing to fear.

Li Lingtian has been undefeated for thirty years simply because he has not encountered me yet.

It’s best if he doesn’t come, but if he dares to, his undefeated myth will come to an end!”

Li Chen spoke as naturally as flowers blooming in spring or leaves falling in autumn.

If someone else had made such a boastful claim, they would have been ridiculed as daydreaming.

However, coming from Li Chen’s mouth, there was no sense of incongruity.

Qin Tianlong glanced subconsciously at the northern sky, at this moment he had a strong premonition.

Soon, the Undefeated War God Li Lingtian would be dethroned.

A new legend was on the rise!
