CHAPTER 785: CHAPTER 782: ONE PUNCH ANNIHILATION!

Li Chen’s eyes gleamed with disdain as he responded firmly, "You are not qualified enough!"

Bai Guang saw Li Chen, an insignificant Foundation Establishment Cultivator, daring to openly mock him and became enraged in an instant.

"Hmph, with your Foundation Establishment Realm, believe it or not, I can defeat you in three moves!"

He extended three fingers, declaring confidently.

Li Chen, unwilling to show weakness, slowly extended a finger: "One move is more than enough to defeat you!"

"Heh, how arrogant. I wonder where your confidence comes from?"

Bai Guang burst into an angry laugh, looking at Li Chen as though he were looking at an idiot.

Li Chen returned the stare with a look as if he were gazing at a dead man.

"I’ve always been this arrogant!"

"Thunderbolt Fist!"

With a thunderous shout, Li Chen’s fist, like a burning meteorite, exploded towards Bai Guang at ten times the speed of sound.

The distance between them was only a few tens of meters, a mere moment at ten times the speed of sound.

Bai Guang only saw a blur flash before his eyes and before his brain could react, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he saw a shocking hole in his chest, his Dantian and heart completely shattered.

"Good, good, such a terrifying fist intent!"

Uttering his last words in life, Bai Guang’s vision darkened, and his towering body collapsed with a crash.

"Hisss!"

Seeing such a horrifying scene, everyone involuntarily gasped in shock.

Some found it hard to believe their own eyes, rubbing them several times, yet the result remained the same.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator overpowering a Golden Core Expert wasn’t unheard of. The favored geniuses of the Great Sects could often achieve this with the help of profound Cultivation Techniques or Top-grade Magical Treasures.

But like Li Chen, unarmed and defeating his enemy in just a single encounter, such a thing was not just unseen but also inconceivable.

After a while, the Loose Cultivators erupted into excited cheers as though they had narrowly escaped a disaster.

The disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, however, were as pale as death’s ashes.

Li Chen’s gaze swept over them, finally resting on the group of Loose Cultivators.

"Everyone, the Yunxiao Sect has humiliated you. Now, seek your revenge and redress your grievances!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the expressions of the Loose Cultivators froze.

Though they had just been insulted by the Yunxiao Sect, deep down they did not want to seriously offend this behemoth.

After all, it was an Earth-level Sect, not something a Loose Cultivator could afford to provoke lightly.

If they truly killed these people, they would undoubtedly make an enemy of the entire Yunxiao Sect.

But if they didn’t do anything now, it would be awkward on Li Chen’s side as well.

As they hesitated, a female cultivator suddenly drew her sword and stabbed at the Yunxiao Sect disciple who had attempted to humiliate her.

"Pfft!"

The unfortunate one had not expected retribution to come so swiftly, caught off guard and stabbed to death on the spot.

Seeing even a lone woman with such courage, the others heated up and drew their weapons, swarming to attack the Yunxiao Sect disciples.

The wolves who had just been snarling viciously never imagined that the tables would turn so quickly within a few minutes, that they too would become lambs to the slaughter.

Li Chen’s one punch had killed Bai Guang, deterring all Yunxiao Sect disciples and causing their psychological defenses to collapse swiftly, unable to muster an effective resistance. In a short time, they were all slaughtered.

"I am Bai Wushuang; thank you for your life-saving grace!"

The female cultivator stepped forward and gave Li Chen a deep bow with hands clasped together.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "It was just a helping hand, no need to take it to heart!"

"Alright, that’s it, you all can leave now!"

Bai Wushuang seemed to have more to say, but seeing Li Chen’s resolute attitude, she swallowed back the words that had reached her lips.

However, after taking just a few steps, she suddenly seemed to think of something and turned back.

"My benefactor, earlier we saw a red glow flash nearby; it could be some sort of unusual treasure. If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look!"

"Really?"

Hearing Bai Wushuang’s offer, Li Chen’s eyes immediately lit up.

Bai Wushuang nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, really; it’s just up ahead. We were about to go there, but the people from Yunxiao Sect blocked our way!"

"That direction?"

At this moment, Lian Hongshang stepped up to confirm the direction again.

Bai Wushuang nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yes, that’s right!"

Lian Hongshang then asked, "Do you know the exact location?"

Bai Wushuang shook her head, somewhat ashamedly admitting she did not know.

In response, Lian Hongshang’s face didn’t show any disappointment; instead, she appeared quite relaxed.

"Thank you, Miss Bai, for the information. The situation ahead is extremely dangerous; you should head back. The two of us will go take a look!"

After saying this, she forcibly pulled Li Chen towards the direction that Bai Wushuang had just pointed to.

Li Chen was still unclear why Lian Hongshang was so concerned about this matter, completely baffled.

"Hongshang, why are we rushing like this?"

Lian Hongshang rolled her eyes and replied impatiently, "What’s the matter? Do you fancy Miss Bai’s talent and plan to recruit her as a female disciple?"

Li Chen placed his hand on his forehead, a face full of embarrassment.

Isn’t this a bit too much jealousy?

On their journey, Li Chen and his companion found that there were many Yunxiao Sect disciples along the way.

And the deeper they went inside, the tighter the security became.

Clearly, the Yunxiao Sect was planning something big!

Could it be they found the trace of the second Divine Tripod?

Li Chen thought to himself.

Regardless, even if it’s not the Divine Tripod, it must be a valuable treasure.

Otherwise, the Yunxiao Sect would not risk the True Immortal Alliance’s punishment to deploy such a large number of elite experts and cordon off such a vast area.

With these thoughts, Li Chen took out two Invisibility Talismans and handed one of them to Lian Hongshang.

"Let’s go, we’ll sneak over quietly and see what they’re up to."

Lian Hongshang took the Invisibility Talisman and nodded lightly.

They went further thirty li inside, and unexpectedly, they circled around below a cliff.

The Yunxiao Sect disciples, in groups of ten, were conducting a thorough search of the area. They were so meticulous that they would turn over any slightly larger stone they found.

"Chen, what do you think they’re looking for?"

Lian Hongshang blinked her curious eyes and asked.

However, before Li Chen could answer, an exclamation came from over there.

"Deputy Sect Master, Great Elder, a cave has been found ahead; it looks quite deep!"
