Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 635 - 632: The Sword of Damocles!

Chapter 635: Chapter 632: The Sword of Damocles!

The Old Sword Master from Japan was resurrected and defeated Li Jinliang, the Pillar of Huaxia Martial Arts, dispelling prior humiliation.

Upon this news reaching Japan, after being suppressed by Huaxia for over half a century since the end of World War II, the martial arts community of Japan celebrated euphorically, even indulging in extravagant festivities.

However, Miyamoto Sakura’s feelings were extremely complicated.

Although she is the great-granddaughter of the Miyamoto Butcher, she had never seen him since she was born, a gap spanning three generations. The blood ties that might foster familial affection were virtually non-existent.

Emotionally, Miyamoto Sakura was completely inclined toward Li Chen.

In fact, from a psychological perspective, this Princess of Japan, the future Empress, was already suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Deep inside, she was very dependent on Li Chen, who was seen as an enemy by the entire martial arts community of Japan.

The Miyamoto Butcher, however, held this great-granddaughter in high regard. Not only did he not strip her of her position as the Sect Leader of Iga Palace, but he also proactively advocated for her, solidifying her future throne as Empress. This deterred any covetous watchers from holding onto any hope.

After defeating Li Jinliang, the Miyamoto Butcher did not return to Japan but made a trip to the Star Pavilion Headquarters in Yanzhou.

The members of the Star Pavilion were like facing a formidable enemy!

However, the Miyamoto Butcher did not strike them. He simply blocked the entrance at Yandang Lake in front of the Star Pavilion Headquarters, fishing like an angler all day long.

It seemed he also held doubts about Immortal Master Li’s death. He waited there for the return of that miraculous and monstrous young man, to settle the score once and for all!

For the Star Pavilion, and even for all of Huaxia Martial Arts, it was like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, leaving them in a state of constant anxiety.

At this time, many began to reminisce about the goodness of Immortal Master Li. If he were here, how could they allow a little brat from Japan to be so rampant and presumptuous?

...

Pacific Ocean:

Before the nuclear explosion, Li Chen had already escaped into the depths of the sea, thus he was not affected.

The four disciples of Hai Yazi, confused, became his scapegoats, pulverized by the blast.

Afraid of being discovered by the United States, Li Chen did not leave immediately but continued to heal under the sea.

While cultivating to heal, he suddenly heard intense fluctuations of True Yuan ahead.

These were the sounds of combat!

Moreover, Li Chen could distinctly feel that one of the combatants was Jiao Long, who had gone out to hunt for food.

Not good, did something happen to that Jiao Long fellow?

Sensing this, Li Chen did not dare to hesitate any longer and quickly rushed towards the source of the combat.

Perhaps because it was in its nature, Jiao Long became extremely excited upon encountering seawater, frolicking back and forth.

On this calm day, bored Jiao Long, while carelessly frolicking, suddenly stumbled upon a very beautiful coral forest.

Thus, it eagerly dashed over there.

But just as it was having the time of its life, two huge boulders suddenly opened like the gates of a Mountain Sect.

Following that, about dozens of people surged forward, preparing to ambush it.

Ever since leaving the Divine Dragon Pond and following Li Chen into worldly society, Grandpa Jiao Long had become increasingly bold. So much so, that the land could no longer contain it, only the Pacific Ocean barely could.

Never in its wildest dreams did the group think they would dare to lay siege on it, Grandpa Jiao Long.

So, it set out to give them a taste of their own medicine. It wanted to show these ignorant humans why flowers are red, why the sea is blue, and why Grandpa Jiao Long should not be trifled with.

Then, without a second thought, it charged and got itself caught in their big net, thrashing wildly inside. It looked just like the heroic deed of Kee Zhen’e from the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" among the Jiangnan Seven Monsters.

"Great Elder, I’ve lived for so long and never seen such a foolish sea monster. It bumped right into our net on its own, like walking straight into a trap. This is killing me, it’s so funny. I can’t take it, my stomach hurts from laughing!"

A disciple with a very low tolerance for humor held his belly and erupted in laughter.

The other disciples reacted in the same way.

"This must be a sea python. Judging by its size, it has cultivated for at least three hundred years. It’s sure to be a great tonic!"

These were all disciples of the Sea God Temple, and when they spotted an exceptionally fierce sea monster weaving through the coral reefs, they were immediately frightened.

You see, the current Hall Master Hai Yazi and his seven disciples were not in, leaving only three Elders to manage affairs. The combat power was weak.

If they let this sea monster break in, the consequences would be unimaginable. To this end, the three Elders discussed and prepared to capture it using specially made fishing nets.

Ordinary sea monsters have lived for hundreds of years. Their Spiritual Wisdom is no less than humans’, and such a simple trap would surely not fool them.

Taking this into account, the three Elders were even willing to sacrifice some ordinary disciples as bait to lure it into the net.

But who could have expected that before the bait was even deployed, the sea monster would foolishly ram straight into it.

The Great Elder, seeing that Jiao Long wanted to break free from the net, commanded the disciples to charge forward.

"Hurry, surround it! Don’t let the sea monster escape. We can feast on it today!"

Instantly, things like Wind Blade, lightning, various weapons, and Magical Treasures of all kinds were brought down on Jiao Long.

Fortunately, its Scale Armor was incredibly tough, capable of resisting most attacks. However, being pummeled by a chaotic barrage was still very painful.

Particularly, the attacks from the three Elders—all of whom were at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage—even without the use of Magical Treasures, could break through its defenses and cause substantial damage.

Seeing the resilience of Jiao Long’s scales, the Great Elder adept at Artifact Refining, excitedly lit up with a glint in his eyes.

"Fellow brothers, the scale armor of this sea monster is exceptionally tough, a fine material for Artifact Refining. We mustn’t damage it. Let’s cast a spell together to stun it, then strip off the scales intact and refine a few top-grade Defensive Treasures, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

The other two Elders exchanged a glance and nodded. The three took their positions, forming a ’品’-shaped attack formation, trapping Jiao Long tightly in the middle.

"Get ready to make your move!"

The Great Elder shouted urgently and forcefully gathered his True Yuan, creating a vortex around himself.

The other two Elders did the same.

However, just as these three vortices were about to merge into a superstorm, a dazzling Sword Rainbow tore through the layers of water in an instant and slashed towards the weakest Third Elder.

Since all of the Elders’ attention was on Jiao Long, which practically delivered itself to their doorstep, none noticed that at this critical juncture, someone launched a sneak attack.

And the attacker was incredibly fast, breaking the sound barrier with a tricky angle that was completely unexpected and nearly impossible to defend against.

By the time the Third Elder sensed the impending doom, it was already too late!

This peerless sword strike pierced him right through the heart, shattering the Dantian instantly.

Realizing the newcomer was Li Chen, Jiao Long immediately started howling in the net like a child who had been wronged in kindergarten and was reporting the injustice to its parents.
