Free Web NovelChapter 1660: Chapter 1657: The Unlucky Zhao Family Castle
Just as the unmatched blade light was about to tear through Li Chen’s body, a magnificent Ancient Cauldron appeared out of thin air, forcibly blocking his attack.
Heavenly Blade Ancestor saw that Li Chen still possessed such a terrifying defensive Divine Weapon in his hand, and couldn’t help but be a bit dazed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, shooting out two beams of blazing flames, sweeping towards Heavenly Blade Ancestor.
Heavenly Blade Ancestor was caught off guard by the fiery attack from Li Chen’s pupils.
In a hurry, he couldn’t defend against it and had to retreat repeatedly.
Seizing the chance, Li Chen’s arm suddenly raised, and the Chi Dragon Divine Spear in his hand formed a whirlwind, thrusting towards Heavenly Blade Ancestor.
Heavenly Blade Ancestor swung his saber continuously, layering countless imprints with the dazzling Hei Guang, trying to use them to fend off Li Chen’s attack.
The Chi Dragon Divine Spear’s piercing ability was extremely terrifying, tearing through Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s defense imprints layer by layer.
Seeing the situation unfavorable, Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s body immediately turned into a black hurricane, merging into the void.
It seemed he wanted to make his escape!
An expert at the Great Mahayana Middle Stage Peak, if allowed to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Li Chen did not hesitate and quickly chased after him.
Heavenly Blade Ancestor rushed out millions of kilometers, while identifying his location in mid-air when suddenly he heard a shout from below in a fortress.
"Who dares intrude on our Zhao Family Castle?"
Heavenly Blade Ancestor saw the leader was only at Late-stage Divinity Transformation, not even Half-step Mahayana, yet dared to question him, and he instantly became furious, thinking to himself: Though I can’t handle that freak Li Chen, can I not deal with you bunch of brats?
Thinking this, his killing intent surged, and without a word, he brandished his Heavenly Blade, slashing with Sky Breaking Slash.
"Crack!"
The unlucky leader was split in half on the spot, blood and flesh flying.
The rest, witnessing this terrifying scene, were all stunned, not daring to breathe.
After slaughtering the opposing leader, Heavenly Blade Ancestor still felt unsatisfied and wanted to kill all the others to vent his anger.
However, just as he was about to swing his blade again, he suddenly felt the surrounding void start to fluctuate abnormally.
Immediately, his angry expression became serious again.
No longer bothering to slaughter those unlucky ones, he tore through the void with his hands and continued to flee into the distance.
Not long after Heavenly Blade Ancestor left, Li Chen had already caught up.
At the same time, Zhao Family Castle’s Fortress Master and a group of Elders, hearing the commotion outside, all rushed out.
He saw an Elder on duty killed, and Li Chen appeared ready to kill.
So, they thought that it was Li Chen who killed their people in Zhao Family Castle without a doubt.
"Which rascal dares to kill our people in Zhao Family Castle?"
A very fiery Elder from Zhao Family Castle shouted at Li Chen.
Li Chen couldn’t be bothered with them, and coldly replied.
"I didn’t kill them, you got the wrong person!"
Speaking, Li Chen was about to leave.
But he was blocked by several Elders from Zhao Family Castle.
"Nonsense, the evidence is irrefutable, do you still want to deny it?"
"Right, dare to do but not admit, what kind of man are you?"
"Elders, stop wasting words, let’s join forces and capture this rascal to avenge Third Brother!"
...
Before the words were finished, people from Zhao Family Castle brandished various Divine Weapons, surrounding and attacking Li Chen.
Seeing this, Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.
"A bunch of idiots!"
With that, he flicked his fingers, releasing thousands of Sword Intent, covering them like a storm.
Among these people, except for the Fortress Master who was a cultivator of Half-step Mahayana Realm, others were all in Divinity Transformation Realm.
In Li Chen’s eyes, this group was no different from ants.
Even a casual flick of a finger with sword intention was something these ants couldn’t resist.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
...
In just one round of clash, all the Elders of Zhao Family Castle were slaughtered.
Although Fortress Master Zhao Hong managed to survive, he was still heavily injured by Li Chen’s relentless Sword Intent.
Seeing Li Chen effortlessly flick a finger with such terrifying power, Zhao Hong and others were so frightened, they knelt down, begging for their lives.
At this point, the previously scared stiff disciples stammered in their voices and informed Fortress Master Zhao Hong that the person who killed Third Elder was not the young man before them, but an old man with a black curved blade.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hong was so infuriated he spat blood.
At this moment, he was unsure whether to vent his curse.
Li Chen couldn’t care less about this group of idiots; he waved his sleeve and quickly pursued in the direction of Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s escape.
...
Heavenly Blade Ancestor considered repeatedly, and found the only sanctuary he could seek was with his old friend Long Ming.
At this time, Long Ming was still fretting over whom to bring to the Star Ruins.
Suddenly seeing Heavenly Blade Ancestor come, he couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.
Especially seeing Heavenly Blade Ancestor in a bedraggled state, his heart was filled with questions.
"Brother Heavenly Blade, what happened to you, did something happen?"
Heavenly Blade Ancestor looked behind him, confirmed Li Chen hadn’t caught up, and then gasped for breath and said: "An enemy sought vengeance while I was away from the sect. I was ambushed by him, so came to you seeking asylum!"
Upon hearing this, Long Ming’s expression changed.
To push Heavenly Blade Ancestor to such a point, it showed his enemy was no ordinary foe.
Accepting Heavenly Blade Ancestor might bring disaster to their Divine Dragon Sect.
Yet, he and Heavenly Blade Ancestor were old friends of thousands of years. To refuse him in dire need did not sit well with him.
Also, though Heavenly Blade Ancestor looked disheveled, he hadn’t suffered substantial injuries, with his combat power still strong.
Weighing the pros and cons, Long Ming warmly grasped Heavenly Blade Ancestor’s hand and said: "Brother Heavenly Blade, we have been friends for a thousand years, you’re treating me as an outsider. Rest inside the Mountain Sect first. Today, no matter who comes, I won’t let him step into our Divine Dragon Sect even a little!"
Hearing Long Ming’s assurance, Heavenly Blade Ancestor immediately cupped his fists in salute.
"Great favor goes unspoken; if there’s any use for me in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask!"
Long Ming smiled, deliberately feigned sternness: "Brother Heavenly Blade, saying such things separates us as friends!"
With that, he instructed an Elder below him: "Third Brother, you escort Fellow Taoist Heavenly Blade to the rear courtyard to rest, I’ll handle things here!"
