Chapter 727: Chapter 724: Life and Death Kill Game!

“Crossing over this mountain, we’ll reach Dragon River!”

Li Chen murmured to himself as he looked ahead at the towering peaks.

The journey had been anything but easy. The number of ambushes and pursuits he had encountered could easily tally up to eighty if not a hundred. The number of Golden Core Experts who had fallen to his hand was already in the double digits.

Once he crossed Dragon River, he would enter the Southern Barbarian Territory. Those pesky flies would surely not dare to chase after him anymore!

This was what Li Chen thought to himself.

But just as he took a short rest and was gearing up to cross the imposing mountain ahead in one go, he suddenly caught sight of dozens of streaks of light soaring across the sky, heading directly toward him.

Sensing this, Li Chen’s face instantly took on a serious expression.

“They’ve arrived quite fast!”

Before Li Chen’s words touched the ground, he saw dozens of high-ranking individuals descend from the sky on their swords, surrounding him tightly.

Li Chen looked up to see ten Golden Core Experts among them, while the other twenty or so were all Late-stage Foundation Establishment elite Disciples.

The person leading them was none other than Yuee Suzhen, who had crossed paths with Li Chen before!

Yuee Suzhen’s eyes emitted a cold light as she stared intently at Li Chen and shouted angrily, “Li Chen, you killed my disciple Jiang Tianxing. Don’t you think you owe Cloud Sea Sect an explanation?”

Li Chen sneered coldly, replying, “He deserved to die. Does that explanation satisfy you?”

“Damn it, you, a rural Loose Cultivator, dare to be so arrogant, showing no regard for our Cloud Sea Sect at all, you’re simply courting death!”

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stepped forward; he had early-stage Golden Core cultivation, and his eyeballs almost bulged out as he spoke.

Li Chen smiled coldly and shouted, “Such noise. You all just want to kill me, right? Come on then, today let me properly weigh how capable you ‘Heaven’s Chosen Sons’ of Cloud Sea Sect really are.”

“Arrogant brat, today I will let you witness the power of Jin Yao!”

The sharp-mouthed man bellowed as he exploded forth with an overwhelming surge of True Yuan, like a rising tide, his momentum majestic as it shot upward.

Immediately after, he brandished a Magic Sword, infused with Thunder Power, slashing towards Li Chen.

“Hmph, courting death!”

Li Chen snorted disdainfully, stepped forward with long strides, and a brilliant golden light condensed on his fist as he threw a simple and brutal punch.

“Boom!”

With that punch, the entire void twisted and collapsed in an instant, bursting forth with the sound of thunder and the spark of lightning stones.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound of metal breaking suddenly rang out, and the sharp-mouthed man’s Magic Sword shattered in the air.

Li Chen’s punch, after breaking the opponent’s sword, still retained its overwhelming momentum. It pierced through the man’s chest like a fully powered heavy armored vehicle.

“This, can’t, be…”

The sharp-mouthed man looked at the bloodied hole in his chest with a rapidly changing expression, his face full of disbelief. His pupils dilated, life fading quickly from them, and he collapsed with a thud.

“Hiss!”

Everyone inhaled sharply, the scene falling silent.

It should be known that Jin Yao was a genuine Golden Core Expert, yet he was blasted to death in one punch by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, something utterly inconceivable.

Yuee Suzhen’s expression also turned solemn in an instant.

Over a month ago, when she first saw Li Chen, his combat strength was only on par with that of Jiang Tianxing. She never expected that in just over a month, he would have grown so terrifyingly powerful.

Suddenly, she remembered the words spoken by her apprentice-niece Ling Shuanghua and her senior sister Su Yuru before coming here.

“Given his current rate of progress, if he participates in the Immortal Sect Martial Arts Competition in two years, he might indeed have the strength to battle Jian Wuheng.”

Unfortunately, he provoked someone he shouldn’t have!

Thinking of this, Yue Suzhen’s eyes grew increasingly filled with murderous intent.

“Attack together, kill him!”

The remaining eight Golden Core Experts exchanged glances, enclosing Li Chen comprehensively, leaving no blind spots.

The other twenty-plus Foundation Establishment Disciples took positions on the periphery to prevent Li Chen from escaping.

One Half Nascent Soul Strong Person, eight Golden Core Experts, and over twenty elite disciples; faced with such a formidable line-up, even a true Nascent Soul Strong Person would have a severe headache.

For a Golden Core Expert, it would most likely be certain death!

What’s more, Li Chen was just a mere Foundation Establishment loose cultivator.

In an instant, the entire atmosphere was filled with a suffocating and solemn murderousness.

Yue Suzhen had reached the Half Nascent Soul Realm, just one step away from the true Nascent Soul Great Power.

Of the other eight Golden Core masters, three were in the Golden Core Late Stage, and each of them was not inferior to the Prefectural Governor Ning Que.

After sensing this, Li Chen’s expression became unprecedentedly solemn, his eyes as wide as copper bells, fixating intently on the slightest movements around him.

Now at a juncture of life and death, the slightest carelessness could topple him into the ditch, utterly falling here.

“Clueless fools, daring to challenge our Cloud Sea Sect, is simply seeking death!”

With a face full of haughty arrogance, Yue Suzhen looked at Li Chen as if he were already dead.

However, before the word “die” had fallen from her lips, Li Chen made the first move, deploying the Seven-star Dragon Abyss and slashing down with all his might.

This strike was too fast, so fast that even a Golden Core Late Stage expert could not react in time.

“Crack!”

A Golden Core Expert named Cao Rong had his arm brutally severed, his complexion instantly turning pale as he staggered backward, his face filled with rage as he stared at Li Chen.

He could have never imagined that Li Chen, a mere Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, would suddenly attack him, and with such a terrifying strike at that.

Looking at his gushing severed limb, Cao Rong’s face was deathly pale as he hysterically screamed, “Kill him, kill him!”

Li Chen made a successful strike, and as a gap appeared in the opponent’s encirclement, he stepped onto the Unrivaled Immortal Shoes and sped off into the sky, outstripping the speed of sound by tenfold with his ultimate movement technique.

“Quick, stop him!”

A few Foundation Establishment Disciples saw Li Chen trying to flee and quickly moved to block him.

“Move aside, those in my way shall die!”

Before the murderous words reached the ears of these Foundation Establishment Disciples, Li Chen’s unparalleled Sword Shadow had already slashed down through the air.

A disciple standing directly in front of Li Chen didn’t even have time to react and was already cleaved in two by Li Chen.

The other disciples, terrified out of their wits, scrambled back.

They simply couldn’t fathom how Li Chen, a mere Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, with cultivation barely different from their own, could wield such vastly greater combat power. The difference was like that between heaven and earth!

After slaying three Foundation Establishment Disciples blocking the way, Li Chen broke through the sound barrier with his fleshly body and sprinted towards the direction of the Dragon River at extreme speed.

“Damn it, chase him, do not let him escape!”

Seeing Li Chen, a mere Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, escape under her watch, Yue Suzhen flew into a sudden rage, bellowing with fury.
