Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Seeing Du Chen swinging his sword to stab, Li Chen did not directly confront him, but flashed in mid-air and appeared behind him.

Du Chen was shocked when he saw Li Chen suddenly vanish into thin air.

By the time he realized the danger, it was already too late!

A whirlpool of light and shadow gathered on Li Chen's palm, illuminating his cold and proud face. A faint smile emerged at the corner of his mouth, like the arrival of the Death God.

"Die!"

With a single cold word, "Die," a mass of lightning, as large as a millstone, was slapped towards Du Chen by Li Chen.

Du Chen was so shocked that his eyes widened, and on instinct, he raised his Protective Gang Qi to defend himself.

However, his defense was as fragile as a tofu project encountering a super flood, utterly unable to resist.

"Boom!"

The thunder rumbled, the void trembled, and the earth-shattering scene unfolded.

"Ah!"

Du Chen let out a desperate scream. The place where he stood was crushed into a large pit several meters deep, his life or death uncertain.

"Hiss!"

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, their faces full of disbelief.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator killed a Golden Core Expert in one move. Even the Heavenly Prides of those Great Sects and aristocratic families might not be able to do that, right?

Shui Yue, originally a big-eyed girl, now stared with her eyes round as saucers, nearly popping out.

"Hey, how are you so powerful? You killed him with a single slap?"

But Lian Hongshang remained very calm about it.

In her eyes, Li Chen was an invincible god.

Li Chen ignored Shui Yue, waved his hand, and continued walking forward amidst everyone's stunned expressions.

He could sense that the fool Jiao Long was nearby.

The disciples of the Lishan Sect saw Li Chen leaving and hurriedly surrounded him.

"Fellow Taoist, you've severely injured our Senior Brother Du Chen, and you think you can just walk away?"

Li Chen glanced at them sideways, pointing to Du Chen, who was still lying in the pit, life or death uncertain, and responded coldly, "If you don't want to end up like him, then get lost!"

Upon hearing these words, the disciples of the Lishan Sect instinctively looked at Du Chen, who was still twitching in pain.

Seeing their Senior Brother Du Chen in such a miserable state, they couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Get lost!"

Li Chen shouted another "Get lost," scaring the rabble into fleeing, scrambling to get out of the way of this Killing God.

Seeing Li Chen ignore her, Shui Yue arrogantly huffed at his retreating figure.

"Hmph, how arrogant!"

Then, her gaze landed on Lian Hongshang, and she immediately ran over with a sweet smile, acting like a little wife and showering her with care.

Unknowingly, night had quietly fallen.

The whole island was shrouded in darkness, and a sudden gust of wind made the trees creak, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Chen, it's dangerous to travel at night. Let's rest here for now!"

Lian Hongshang suggested to Li Chen with a gentle smile, looking at the sky.

Li Chen looked around, nodded, and agreed, "Alright, let's rest here for now!"

"Hongshang, Shui Yue, please gather some firewood. I'll go hunt a Demon Beast, and we'll have a barbecue later!"

Hearing there would be a barbecue, Shui Yue, with a child's heart, was overjoyed.

"I want to eat snow hare meat, it's tender and not greasy. I don't want wild boar meat, it's too rough and hard to chew. No fox meat either, the taste is too strong..."

Hearing Shui Yue's words, Li Chen's face darkened.

"You'll eat whatever we have, why are you making so many demands?"

Shui Yue rolled her eyes and pouted, "Hmph, why are you being so mean to me?"

Then she ran over to Lian Hongshang, clinging to her arm and started whining.

"Little Brother, he's bullying me!"

Facing the child-like Shui Yue, Lian Hongshang couldn't help but laugh and cry, soothing her with kind words.

In no time, Li Chen returned with two very plump snow hares.

By then, Lian Hongshang and Shui Yue had already lit a bonfire, sitting side by side, chatting warmly.

Li Chen skillfully skinned the snow hares and placed them over the fire to roast.

After about half an hour, the plump snow hares were cooked to a golden brown, with juices flowing all over.

Smelling the aroma of the snow hares, Shui Yue couldn't stop drooling, constantly asking Li Chen if it was ready and if she could eat yet.

"Almost ready."

As he spoke, Li Chen casually handed over a snow hare.

Shui Yue took the snow hare and began to devour it ravenously.

But after taking one bite, she felt a bit selfish and forcefully divided the snow hare in front of her in half.

Then, she handed the larger piece to Lian Hongshang and said with a sweet smile, "Little Brother, you eat too!"

Lian Hongshang was amused by Shui Yue's oily mouth and was almost laughing out loud.

She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Shui Yue's mouth, saying affectionately, "Silly girl, eat slowly; no one is going to take it from you!"

As Shui Yue ate, she suddenly started crying aloud.

Her crying left Lian Hongshang and Li Chen wide-eyed in confusion.

"Shui Yue, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"I miss my mom!"

Shui Yue mumbled with snow hare meat in her mouth.

Lian Hongshang was startled and tentatively asked, "Shui Yue, what happened to your mom?"

"I don't know. I've never seen my mother since I was born. My master found me at the foot of the mountain while I was still in swaddling clothes, felt pity, and took me to the Moon God Palace. Boo hoo..."

As Shui Yue spoke, she began crying aloud again.

Then, she turned her grief into appetite and took a big bite of snow hare meat, chewing vigorously.

Hearing Shui Yue's words, Lian Hongshang also thought of her own background. Her experience was similar to Shui Yue's. Being abandoned at birth and raised by her master.

Therefore, she could empathize with Shui Yue.

Moreover, she felt herself to be luckier than the silly Shui Yue.

For she had found her lifelong love, Li Chen, during her darkest moment.

Whereas Shui Yue only met her, this fake "Little Brother."

Lian Hongshang understood Shui Yue's feelings at that moment, and Shui Yue saw Lian Hongshang as her mental support.

The two girls talked quietly through the night before falling asleep, nestled against each other.

Li Chen listened silently the entire time. After they fell asleep, he kept watch alone, to guard against any others or Demon Beasts from attacking.

At midnight, a sudden wind arose, and the leaves rustled.

Li Chen, who was meditating with crossed legs, suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at the dark, shadowy forest ahead.

"Not good, something's up!"
