Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1607 - 1604: Wang Family’s Secret Plot!

In Wu Badao’s view, the fact that Li Chen wielded such a powerful divine weapon must mean it was a relic from some Ancient Great Power.

This also reinforced his earlier suspicion that Li Chen once had a Heavenly-defying Destiny, acquiring the inheritance of an Ancient Great Power through a twist of fate.

"Good lad, you’ve got quite the Divine Treasure. Today, as the King, I shall see how many punches your Divine Treasure can withstand from me!"

After a bout of roaring, Wu Badao once again frantically gathered fist shadows, striking the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod like a volley of rocks piercing the sky.

Li Chen, meanwhile, sat composed inside the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod, embodying a demeanor of "calmly fishing amidst the storm".

Each of Wu Badao’s strikes was like an ancient red-coated cannon pounding on the city walls.

Although they could cause some damage, breaking through the defense completely was still not an easy task.

In just a matter of ten or so breaths, Wu Badao had frantically struck over a hundred punches.

Seeing this, Li Chen immediately frowned.

His Jiuzhou Divine Tripod had just been repaired, and if this deadlock continued, it was sure to suffer heavy damage.

On the other side, seeing that his fists were ineffective against the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod, Wu Badao decided to wield his Lifebound Divine Weapon, the Green Rainbow Sword.

"Li Chen, you brat, your tortoise shell may withstand my fists, but can it withstand my sword edge?"

Saying so, Wu Badao wielded his sword with both hands, slashing out with a heaven-shrouding Sword Rainbow, advancing towards Li Chen with an imperious stance.

Li Chen worried that the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod could not withstand such a fierce impact from the frenzied Sword Intent, so with a shift of thought, he promptly retracted the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod.

Then, he reached into the void, and called out to the sky.

"Sword, come!"

The Seven-star Dragon Abyss, hearing its master’s summon, transformed into a Divine Dragon, issuing an awe-inspiring roar as it spiraled down to rest firmly in Li Chen’s palm.

Wu Badao, initially worried his sword edge might not break through Li Chen’s Jiuzhou Divine Tripod, never expected his opponent to voluntarily retract it.

It seemed this monstrous Li Chen intended to confront him with Sword Intent.

Thinking this, Wu Badao forced a sneer through clenched teeth.

In his eyes, Li Chen was about to become a corpse.

Of course, that was Wu Badao’s belief.

Li Chen thought otherwise.

In his past life, he had swept across the heavens with unparalleled swordsmanship.

To others, Wu Badao was an invincible Mahayana Divine Monarch.

But in Li Chen’s eyes, he was no different from an ant.

Just a stronger ant, a bit harder to kill.

"Clang clang!"

Two fierce sword shadows clashed mid-air like tens of thousands of soldiers in combat.

Sword Intent filled the sky, like a meteor shower tearing through the void, scattering far and wide.

In their wake, devastation reigned like a typhoon’s path.

"Step step step!"

"Step step step!"

...

After this collision, both Li Chen and Wu Badao retreated explosively at the same time.

Wu Badao’s gaze at Li Chen was now filled with shock.

Never did he expect Li Chen’s understanding of Sword Intent to reach such a heaven-shaking, ghost-weeping level.

The most terrifying fact was that he was incredibly young.

So young, with such terrifying achievements.

When he fully matures, how will anyone stop him?

This child is too monstrous; he must not be allowed to live!

With these thoughts, an icy, murderous intent filled Wu Badao’s sinister eyes.

"Fight again!"

Wu Badao shouted explosively, his body overflowing with True Yuan, feeding into the Green Rainbow Sword ceaselessly.

In an instant, the Green Rainbow Sword was pushed to its utmost, like a towering star no one dared behold directly.

Then, he furiously wielded the Green Rainbow Sword, splitting it into innumerable colorful sword beams.

Each beam could level a thousand-foot mountain effortlessly.

"Thousand Shadows Slash!"

At this moment, everyone in the Great Wu Dynasty raised their heads, unblinkingly watching this world-shattering peak duel.

In the Wang Family Mansion, the Family Head Wang Chao, Wang Jin, and Sun Heng along with the elders were frozen in place like weathered statues.

After a long silence, Wang Chao exclaimed.

"This is the King’s signature skill, Thousand Shadows Slash!"

The Wang Family members widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Who on earth is battling the King, forcing him to use his signature Thousand Shadows Slash?"

Sun Heng and Wang Jin exchanged a glance.

In each other’s eyes, they saw an expression of disbelief.

After a deathly silence, Wang Jin softly spoke with dimples appearing, "It is Li Chen!"

Upon hearing Wang Jin’s words, everyone in the Wang Family was stunned, speechless for a long while.

Soon, someone voiced doubt.

"Impossible, Li Chen looks so young, how can he be a match for the King, forcing him this far?"

Wang Jin didn’t speak further but looked at Elder Sun Heng.

Sun Heng, understanding the cue, continued, "The Young Lady is right, it is indeed Mr. Li, Li Chen!"

"That Azure Cloud Fairy might be Mr. Li’s Taoist couple. Zhuge Hu and others forcibly abducted her, causing Mr. Li’s wrath. He went to the Royal Palace to demand her release. Before departing, he even warned that if Wu Badao refused to release her, he wouldn’t mind blood-washing the entire palace."

"Initially, the Young Lady and I dismissed his words as mere boastful talk. But never did we expect..."

At this point, Sun Heng stopped speaking, appearing somewhat ashamed.

Wang Jin’s word alone might not hold much weight, but when combined with Elder Sun Heng’s, its credibility soared.

After all, Sun Heng was a Heavenly Level Venerated Elder in the Wang Family, enjoying great prestige.

He’s unlikely to lie about such a significant matter.

Especially not in the presence of the Family Head Wang Chao.

After another silence, Zhao Ze’s face suddenly lit with joy as he spoke, "Family Head, Heaven is favoring our Wang Family. Now is the best opportunity to raise an army and overthrow the Wu Family!"

Hearing Zhao Ze’s words, everyone in the Wang Family seemed delighted.

Ever since Wu Badao took the position of King, the Wang Family had been suppressed and oppressed repeatedly.

Consequently, the Wang Family harbored intentions of rising against the Wu Family’s rule.

In fact, they had been secretly plotting this for some time.

However, the current strength of the Wang Family and the Wu Family were worlds apart.

They hadn’t found an opportune moment, remained in patience.

Instantly, everyone fell silent, their gazes locking onto Family Head Wang Chao.

Zhao Ze, noticing Wang Chao’s hesitation, earnestly advised, "Family Head, the opportunity won’t come again!"
