281: Chapter 279 Battle with Jiao Long [Second Update] 281: Chapter 279 Battle with Jiao Long [Second Update] “Roar, roar, roar…”

Jiao Long saw a diminutive human daring to look down on it and couldn’t help but burst into a towering rage.

Li Chen, holding the White Bone Jade Sword, shouted fiercely: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, come on then, let’s see what you’re capable of, beast.

Don’t disappoint me!”

As his words fell, the White Bone Jade Sword in his hand suddenly magnified dozens of times, transforming into a more than three-zhang-long Sword Light, slashing through the air.

“Crackling and rumbling!”

The Sword Light struck on the dragon scales, splashing out a burst of dazzling sparks.

Jiao Long, in pain, crazily thrashed its tail, stirring the entire pond water as if it were about to boil over.

Li Chen saw that the White Bone Jade Sword only damaged the Jiao Long’s scale armor and did not break through its defenses.

He suddenly pointed his toes on the ground, his body spun at high speed, leaping into midair.

Immediately afterward, he fiercely gathered his True Yuan, his hands quickly performing a Sealing Technique, and he slammed down with force.

“Great Brahma Wisdom Palm!”

Before the Great Brahma Wisdom Palm even fell, Li Chen rose again with his sword.

“Mountain River Breaking!”

“Hanging Cloud Hand!”

“Thousand Layers Slash!”

Li Chen’s moves came one after another, each wave of attacks like the rising tide, one wave overpowering the last.

Jiao Long’s body was too colossal, unwieldy and unable to dodge in time, was directly beaten back step by step.

It could only defend itself, without any power to counter-attack.

…

Having fled for five or six li, Xuan Nan and Sunx Baiyang, watching this scene from a distance, both felt a shiver in their hearts.

The two instinctively looked at each other, both seeing fear in the other’s expression.

Apart from the words “abomination,” they really couldn’t find any other words to describe the terror of Li Chen.

Xuan Nan looked up to the sky and let out a mournful cry: “This young man is only in his early years, yet he is already so terrifying.

Who in this world can be his adversary?”

Sunx Baiyang thought for a moment and said, “Xuan Nan Fellow Taoist, I know of one person.

As long as this person makes a move, he will surely be able to capture and kill that rascal Li Chen!”

Xuan Nan impatiently asked, “Who?”

Sunx Baiyang gazed at the starry sky to the north, and said word by word: “The one from the Imperial City!”

Xuan Nan’s expression changed, and he urgently said: “You mean Li Lingtian?”

Sunx Baiyang nodded gravely and said: “Yes, Li Lingtian!”

Xuan Nan thought for a moment, then asked, “Brother Baiyang, Li Lingtian has now joined the military, it has been almost twenty years since he concerned himself with worldly society affairs, do you think he would come out of seclusion?”

Sunx Baiyang emphatically said: “He will!”

Xuan Nan puzzled, pressed further: “Brother Baiyang, why are you so sure?”

Sunx Baiyang stroked his goatee, extended five fingers, and said: “I have five reasons that make me certain Li Lingtian will definitely make a move!”

Xuan Nan hurriedly asked, “What are the five reasons?

Brother Baiyang, don’t play coy any longer.”

Sun Baiyang squinted his eyes with a smile and extended his first finger, speaking at a measured pace:

“The first: Li Lingtian’s eldest disciple, Shangguan Changhong, and his second daughter, Li Wan’er, recently made an enemy of Immortal Master Li in Yanzhou.

This is a personal vendetta.

As a teacher and a father, how could Li Lingtian sit idly by?”

“Second, my Medicine King Valley and the Imperial Capital Li Family have a close personal relationship.

Moreover, when Li Wan’er was born, Li Lingtian’s wife had a difficult labor, and it was only through my humble medical skills that I saved the lives of mother and daughter.

Li Lingtian, being a man of profound feeling and righteousness, would not stand aside while Medicine King Valley is in great trouble, would he?”

“Third, Li Lingtian has been living a semi-reclusive life for years, devoting himself to cultivation, isn’t it all to fathom the secrets of the God Realm?

The Dragon Blood Fruit is a thousand-year-old divine medicine that greatly benefits the enhancement of cultivation and the exploration of the God Realm.

How could he not be tempted?”

“Fourth, Xuan Nan Fellow Taoist, as you have seen.

Immortal Master Li, that scoundrel, has risen abruptly, and in just a matter of three months, has successively slain Tie Wudi, Dragon Family Ancestor, Master Puhong, and a number of Grandmasters.

The Four Great Profound Sects and the Twelve Martial Sects have all had their share of feuds with him.

If we let him grow unchecked, once he fully dominates south of the Yangtze River, who can guarantee that he won’t ride his victory north and encroach on Li Family’s territory?”

“Fifth, martial artists and wanderers have been suppressed by government policy since the Pre-Qin period.

In the past few months, Immortal Master Li alone has caused such nation-shocking major events, do you think the government will just sit by and do nothing?

Li Lingtian is precisely a military man, and even acclaimed as the National Defense Divine General.

Whether out of personal feelings or public reasoning, he must act.”

Upon hearing the five reasons listed by Sun Baiyang, Xuan Nan’s face, as stricken as if he had lost his mother, immediately bloomed into a smile like that of a chrysanthemum.

“Li Lingtian has been undefeated in the thirty years since he started out, hailed as the undefeated myth of Huaxia.

If he could personally take action, even if Immortal Master Li were any more monstrous, he wouldn’t escape the fate of death and obliteration!”

Thinking of this, Xuan Nan couldn’t help but burst into raucous laughter.

However, just then, a deafening collision sound suddenly erupted.

Xuan Nan and Sun Baiyang instinctively looked over and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

They saw that half of the mountain where the Divine Dragon Pond was located had been flattened and was collapsing with a thunderous crash.

Xuan Nan muttered to himself with trembling lips, “I wonder how the battle turned out over there?”

After talking to himself for a while, he really wanted to turn back.

To check on the battle, to see if he could snatch back the lost Sect Leader’s Heavenly Master Token.

If he were lucky, and Immortal Master Li and Jiao Long were both grievously injured, he might just be able to pick up a great advantage, reaping the benefits as the third party to the conflict.

However, when he thought of Li Chen’s terrifying techniques and the arrogant words, “If I don’t slaughter you all within ten moves, consider it my loss,” his legs started shaking uncontrollably.

Sun Baiyang seemed to see through Xuan Nan’s thoughts and said earnestly, “That Jiao Long is nothing but a mutated species of python.

No matter how fierce it is, it’s only a beast; it can’t withstand Immortal Master Li’s sword light.

Fellow Taoist Xuan Nan, in my opinion, we better hurry and leave, lest he catches up again!”

Hearing Sun Baiyang say so, Xuan Nan also dismissed the idea of going back to investigate further.

With a deep sigh, he turned and walked into the vast night.

At the same time, the battle between Li Chen and the Jiao Long had reached a crucial point where life and death were contended.

The fight was so fierce that mountains crumbled, and undercurrents surged, nearly turning Stone Pond completely upside down.

Around the thirtieth round of intense battle, Li Chen consecutively summoned the White Bone Jade Sword, the Soul-devouring Pearl, and the Qiankun Treasure Mirror.

With all magical treasures unleashed, he completely overpowered the Jiao Long in momentum.

However, the Jiao Long, having occupied this location for five hundred years, was no herbivore.

Especially its thick scale armor, which was virtually as impervious as metal walls.

Even with all of Li Chen’s magical treasures and killing moves, he could only inflict superficial wounds and couldn’t deal it a heavy blow, let alone kill it outright.

You should know, in the 1940s and 50s, the Japanese Army mobilized two entire divisions and employed aircraft and artillery, but still failed to break through its scale defense.

Li Chen fixed his gaze on the Jiao Long’s shimmering golden scales, and his brows immediately furrowed into the shape of the character “川” (river).

“Dragging this out is not the solution, I must think of a method!”

Just as Li Chen was deep in thought, he suddenly saw a stream of cold moonlight piercing through the flattened mountaintop, falling into the Stone Pond.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed.

The Nine Heavens Star Technique he cultivated could make use of this moonlight to construct an array around the Stone Pond, trapping the beast within it.

Once that was done, whether to kill it or to flay it, wasn’t it all up to his mood?
