Chapter 811: Li Chen vs. Jian Chenn!
Outside Thunder City, there is an Earth Mountain, not tall, even the highest point is just over three hundred zhang. It doesn't even have a proper name, jokingly called Nameless Mountain.
On normal days, yellow dust flies here, extremely desolate, rarely visited.
But now, it is crowded with people, packed, bustling with excitement.
At the highest point, there are two silhouettes, facing each other.
One is Jian Chenn.
And the other, naturally, is Li Chen.
"Li Chen, you little brat, you didn't disappoint me. I thought you wouldn't dare to come and would have escaped early!"
Li Chen smiled calmly, and said, "Haha, just because of you? You're not worthy of making me retreat!"
Upon hearing Li Chen's words, Jian Chenn was immediately furious, his eyes almost spouting fire.
This time, he came to the Great Thunder Swamp full of hope in search of opportunities, but who knew, he didn't gain a single feather and ended up in a sorry state, with a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent.
And Li Chen's appearance was right on his gunpoint.
Jian Chenn laughed angrily, pointing at Li Chen, mocking him recklessly.
"Li Chen, you're just a mere Loose Cultivator, do you think achieving a little success allows you to be arrogant and lawless? I'm telling you, you're far from it!"
Li Chen's expression was unchanged, his gaze coldly sweeping past Jian Chenn's raised finger, responding in a steady voice, "I hate it most when people point at me!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Chenn couldn't help but shiver. Just a moment ago, a junior brother of his had his finger cleanly cut off for pointing at Li Chen.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously retracted his arm, angrily responding, "Arrogant, today I want to see what ability you, a Loose Cultivator, have to be so arrogant!"
In an instant, the scene became tense, with Li Chen and Jian Chenn already showing a stance of life-and-death confrontation. The True Yuan inside both of them erupted out like a storm.
Even the white clouds overhead seemed disturbed, scrambling away. The entire sky became unpredictable, with an impending storm.
"This Li Chen does have some presence, being able to punch and kill a fourth-level Demon Beast, the Single-Horned Thunder Whale, he must have some means!"
Someone favored Li Chen, but his voice hadn't fallen when he was retorted.
"What can some means do, in the end, he is just a Loose Cultivator. While Jian Chenn is from Penglai's top sect, Heavenly Sword Mountain. In front of him, Li Chen, this Loose Cultivator, even if he jumps around, is nothing but a laughingstock. Truly don't know who gave him the courage to challenge Jian Chenn here?"
The speaker is a young woman in a purple dress. Some Loose Cultivators, upon hearing her words, felt uncomfortable.
But when they saw the attire on her with the word "Dugu" embroidered on her shoulder, they swallowed back the words that had reached their lips.
"People from the Dugu Family?"
The Dugu Family is one of the Four Great Families in the Cultivation Realm. Each lineage has thousands of years of history, comparable to the Ten Great Heavenly Sects.
Some Sect Disciples hearing this, eagerly chimed in with flattery, trying to attract the attention of the woman in purple.
The woman in purple is called Dugu Yan, the treasure of the current Family Head of the Dugu Family, with good talent and exceptional beauty. Because of this, she has developed a spoiled and arrogant temperament from a young age, emitting an air of two words: pride.
...
On the mountain peak, under everyone's gaze, Jian Chenn's look at Li Chen became increasingly cold, like a sharp blade in winter.
"Li Chen, a woman I, Jian Chenn, set my eyes on, and you, a Loose Cultivator, dare to covet? Do you not know how to spell 'death'?"
After letting out a beast-like low roar, Jian Chenn's figure rotated in the air, transforming into a storm, rushing straight into the sky.
This is the power demonstrated by a Golden Core Cultivator!
Moreover, the cultivation techniques he practiced are all top-notch. Therefore, the True Yuan is also extremely refined, nearly substantial.
In an instant, like a terrifying pressure of black clouds pressing on a city, it enveloped around. Some Disciples with weaker cultivation, being too close, almost felt like suffocating.
"Swish!"
Jian Chenn summoned his Lifebound Magic Sword, his figure suddenly burst out. Like a concealed viper suddenly striking, it lunged towards Li Chen.
He attacked with a killing move, obviously not leaving Li Chen any chance to counterattack.
Jian Chenn is indeed a genuine Golden Core Expert, and their Heavenly Sword Mountain is proficient in Sword Dao. Hence, even if a same-level opponent faced this sword, they would be heavily injured or even instantly killed.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone gasped, secretly squeezing a cold sweat for Li Chen.
However, Li Chen's expression remained unchanged, only his brows slightly furrowed.
At this moment, his eyes flickered rapidly, capturing Jian Chenn's figure at the fastest speed.
Insight Divine Power, observing a leaf to know the autumn!
"Swish!"
Jian Chenn slashed down with a sword, distorting and trembling the void.
But this sword did not slash Li Chen, instead, it was narrowly avoided by his mysterious and miraculous Floating Light Shadow movement technique.
Upon seeing his sword miss, Jian Chenn's expression turned as cold as frost. He glanced back at Li Chen, suddenly exerting force with his waist, rotating in mid-air, once again charging like a hungry tiger pouncing on prey.
His body broke through the sound barrier, reaching ten times the speed of sound. The hundred-zhang distance was practically covered in the blink of an eye. It could be said, one couldn't see the human figure, only glimpsed the afterimage.
His speed is extremely fast!
But Li Chen's speed is even faster!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
On the Earth Mountain, two figures flashed back and forth, the sharp whistling sound piercingly harsh.
This extreme speed contest left the crowd dazzled, their eyes blurred. Facing their movement techniques, many Golden Core Late-Stage cultivators couldn't keep up.
"This Li Chen's movement technique is like the wind in the mountains, traceless yet omnipresent, truly admirable!"
A scholarly bookworm followed Li Chen's movement technique with his eyes, exclaiming.
He is a Sect Disciple from the Heavenly Sect Haoran Tower, named Liuu Changfeng, an expert in movement techniques. To receive such high praise, it shows Li Chen's accomplishment in movement techniques is unique and remarkable.
Dugu Yan, who always looks down on Loose Cultivators, snorted disdainfully before Liuu Changfeng's words were finished.
"Hmph, what's so great about it? Even if his movement technique is powerful, he still can't withstand Jian Chenn's Sword Dao and is being chased and beaten, isn't he?"
Liuu Changfeng smiled gently, patiently explaining, "Miss Dugu, you are mistaken. As the saying goes: all martial arts in the world, are invincible, only fast is unbreakable. The speed of movement technique is a profound subject. My master once said, movement technique like the wind, integrating with the world, only then can one reach mastery and achieve the Great Dao!"
"As the saying goes, when the wind rises it ceases, ceasing shadows become shapeless. Form and spirit are inseparable, separation and integration end in mind, the state arises from the heart to become the wind. Wind..."
Dugu Yan saw Liuu Changfeng was again losing himself in thought and impatiently called to stop.
"Stop, stop, stop, you bookworms love to dally with words, so boring!"
"Yan'er, don't be rude!"
Dugu Ming saw his sister was being playful again and scolded her with a stern face.
Liuu Changfeng seemed to be very understanding, showing no anger at all, and even spoke well for Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan snorted wilfully twice, then tugged at Dugu Ming's arm, asking, "Brother, who do you think will win, is it Heavenly Sword Mountain's Jian Chenn?"
