Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 276 - 276 274 Looking Down Upon the World First Update

276: Chapter 274: Looking Down Upon the World [First Update] 276: Chapter 274: Looking Down Upon the World [First Update] Upon hearing Ancestor Ximen’s words, Sunx Baiyang, Xuan Nan and others wanted to retort.

But their previous full-mouthed righteousness and morality now felt somewhat hollow, and they couldn’t bring themselves to say it.

Such upstanding words could fool the young novice entering the worldly society, but Ancestor Ximen was nearly a hundred years old.

The number of bridges he must have crossed is probably greater than the roads they have traveled.

To rebut with such declarations seemed truly hypocritical.

Moreover, this was a deserted wilderness, with no outsiders around—who were they to make “upright and stern” speeches to?

In the end, the outcome still had to be decided with fists.

The victor would be king, and the defeated the outlaw—whichever fist was stronger would seize the right to speak!

Master Puhong saw the scene turning somewhat awkward and recited another Buddhist chant.

“Amitabha Buddha, Layman Ximen, we only wish to take down this thousand-year-old divine medicine to save lives.

The Buddha said, ‘Saving one life is as meritorious as building a seven-tiered pagoda.’ I hope you, Layman Ximen, for the sake of Buddha’s face, will retract the Array.

This humble monk is willing to guarantee with my life and let you leave in peace!”

Ancestor Ximen cursed loudly, “Pah, you bald donkey, don’t use the Buddha to pressure me.

Your Buddha also says that monks should harbor compassion and refrain from taking lives.

Put your hand on your heart and tell me, how much blood of living beings is on your hands?”

Master Puhong remained silent, bowing his head and chanting the Buddhist name, “Amitabha Buddha!”

Concerned that if the standoff dragged on, the situation would become increasingly unfavorable, Sunx Baiyang urged hastily, “Master, there’s no use talking to such a stubborn person.

If the three of us join forces, surely we can break his Array?”

Xuan Nan also chimed in, stating solemnly, “Valley Master Sunx is right.

Ancestor Ximen may be formidable, but he’s standing alone and won’t hold out for long!”

Master Puhong still did not speak, but bowed his head and chanted another Buddha’s name.

Judging by his expression, he evidently agreed with Sunx Baiyang’s proposal for a forceful assault.

Both sides exchanged another fierce bombardment, stirring up a turmoil so great that to the uninitiated, it could have been mistaken for an earthquake.

In this round of confrontation, Sunx Baiyang and Xuan Nan were still unable to break the Array.

However, the Eight Gates Golden Lock Meihua Formation, which Ancestor Ximen relied on for support, was also on the brink of collapse, resembling a lantern swaying in the wind and rain.

Seeing this, Sunx Baiyang exclaimed with joy and shouted, “Master Puhong, Great Friend Xuan Nan, the Array is at the end of its tether.

If the three of us join forces for a concentrated attack, we will surely break through!”

Master Puhong and Xuan Nan both nodded and gathered their True Yuan for another round of intense assault.

Ancestor Ximen wore a grave expression and looked into the distance.

His longing eyes resembled a small woman on a Wife-Waiting Rock, desperately hoping for her beloved’s return.

Suddenly, the rhythm of a breeze drifted by.

A touch of surprise flashed in Ancestor Ximen’s murky pupils.

“Hahaha, they have arrived, they’re here!”

In stark contrast to Ancestor Ximen was the deathly pallor that now clouded the faces of Sunx Baiyang, Xuan Nan, and others like grieved misery.

If it were only Ancestor Ximen, the three of them together would not feel much pressure; it was just a matter of expending more effort.

But if people from the Dechuan Family were to join, who would win or lose was an unknown.

Should the opposing force be too powerful, it could be that all three of them would lie buried here.

As Ximen Yuu saw his reinforcements arriving, he was overjoyed and called out with a raised voice, “Is it Dechuan-san?”

“Brother Ximen, you must have a lot on your mind to have forgotten even me, huh?”

Following the sound, a tall figure came out from the darkness of the night, entering everyone’s sight.

Instantly, the faces of everyone, whether it was Ximen Yuu or Sunx Baiyang, changed color.

Ximen Yuu saw that it was Li Chen who had come, his voice trembling slightly, “You, you’re Li Chen?”

In Ancestor Ximen’s murky eyes, flames of anger burned.

“Was it you who killed my son and chopped off my grandson’s arm?”

Li Chen thought for a moment and replied, “That sounds about right.

I generally can’t be bothered to remember such insignificant beings!”

“Damn you, you…”

Ancestor Ximen never expected Li Chen to be so audacious.

To have killed his son, crippled his grandson, and still compare them to ants, this was almost enough to make his century-old lungs explode with rage.

“I’m doing quite well, actually.

Even if you…

oh, I mean all of you here were to die, I would still live just fine!”

As he spoke, Li Chen’s sharp, sword-like eyes unconsciously swept across the faces of Sunx Baiyang, Xuan Nan, and Puhong.

Sunx Baiyang, Xuan Nan, and Puhong immediately changed their expressions, becoming extremely vigilant, staring fixedly at Li Chen as if fearing he would suddenly strike and kill them.

Feigning surprise, Li Chen smiled and asked, “I’m not some beauty, why are you all looking at me with such eyes?”

The entire place fell into a deafening silence; no one responded.

The already unpredictable outcome of the battle became even more complicated with the sudden intervention of Li Chen.

Seeing that they had nothing to say, Li Chen felt somewhat bored.

Immediately after, he turned his gaze to Ximen Yuu and raised an eyebrow, “Brother Ximen, you are looking for three Japanese, right?”

Ximen Yuu’s pupils suddenly dilated, staring at Li Chen intently.

“Have you seen them?”

Li Chen nodded and said, “Seen them, and also brought them along the way!”

Upon hearing this, Ximen Yuu was momentarily unable to grasp it, instinctively looking left and right.

“Stop looking, they are right here!”

While speaking, Li Chen tossed over a bundle.

The bundle unraveled mid-air, and three blood-soaked heads came into everyone’s view.

Ximen Yuu and the others’ eyes almost popped with fury, a feeling of suffocation as if dark clouds were pressing against the city looming over them.

Sunx Baiyang, Puhong, and Xuan Nan were nearly shocked enough to have their eyeballs fall out.

Keep in mind that these were three Martial Arts Grandmasters, and Li Chen had managed to kill them without anyone being any the wiser, which speaks volumes of his terrifying abilities.

Xuan Nan was the sharpest thinker, as the acting Alliance Hierarch of the Great Jiangnan Justice Alliance, his primary duty was to slay the rascal, Li Chen.

If relying solely on their side, they would definitely be unable to capture and kill Li Chen.

The same was true for the Ximen Family.

The strategy now was for both parties to join hands, to kill him together, to cut off future troubles!

Having done his mental calculations, Xuan Nan then shouted at Ancestor Ximen who was still in shock; “Ancestor Ximen, this rascal, Immortal Master Li, is a common enemy to both our parties.

How about this: we set aside our grievances and after slaying this rascal, we can then decide the victor, what do you say?”

With Dechuan Changkong and the others dead, Ancestor Ximen’s wishful thinking also came to naught.

Grinding his teeth, he said, “Fine, as long as we can kill this rascal and avenge my son and grandson.

My Ximen Family is willing to give up the thousand-year-old divine medicine for you to take as you wish!”

What were originally sides at loggerheads, due to the arrival of Li Chen, not only reconciled at lightning speed but even rapidly formed an alliance.

No wonder the former UK Prime Minister Churchill said that in this world, there are no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Li Chen brushed off his sleeve and said, “So, you want to gang up on the few, is that it?”

After saying this, he strode forward, his voice suddenly turning stern as he bellowed, “Since that’s the case, then come at me all together, it’d save me the trouble of going back and forth.

If I can’t kill you all within ten moves, I’ll admit defeat!”

His declaration was like a thunderbolt, staring down the world!
