Chapter 1744 - 1741: Star Cloud Ancestor!
Upon hearing everyone’s inquiry, Master Jingkong did not give an answer but instead joined his palms and silently recited a Buddhist chant.
Li Mengjiao looked at Master Jingkong, then at Li Chen, and also remained silent.
Although neither of them responded verbally, it was not difficult to discern the outcome from their expressions and reactions.
No denial meant acknowledgment!
"Boom!"
This shocking news was like a depth charge dropped in the crowd, causing an uproar throughout the venue.
Instantly, aside from the disciples of Fantian Temple and Qianxue Hall, almost all the cultivators’ gazes towards Li Chen were filled with anger.
Seeing this, Mo Zhan’s eyes, typically like those of a vulture, were full of a proud look.
Hmph, Li Chen, no matter how monstrous your talent is, can you really kill all the disciples of the Zhao Family and Liuyun Sect?
Soon, someone pointed at Li Chen’s nose and furiously accused, "Li, what do you have to say now? Don’t you plan to give us an explanation?"
Li Chen sneered coldly and said, "Heh, what kind of explanation do you want?"
Being counter-questioned by Li Chen, everyone present was taken aback.
After quite a while, a disciple finally shouted with his voice raised, "What other explanation can there be, of course, a blood for blood!"
The corner of Li Chen’s mouth showed a Death God-like icy smile, stating resolutely, "Fine, if any of you have the capability to make me pay blood for blood, then come forth!"
The murderous voice still echoed in the void, just as Li Chen suddenly raised his finger, resembling a knife strike, slashing towards the Zhao Family disciple who demanded blood for blood.
The speed of Li Chen’s sword was too fast, and its angle extremely lethal, rendering defense nearly impossible.
However, even if this disciple was fully prepared, given his cultivation, the outcome was the same.
"Snap!"
Li Chen casually released a Sword Intent, instantly slashing him with an overwhelming stance.
"Gasp!"
Witnessing Li Chen kill with just a word, everyone present involuntarily gasped, instinctively retreating backward.
Seeing this scene, Li Chen couldn’t help but sneer coldly.
"If anyone else desires a blood for blood, step forward!"
The crowd, who had just been agitated, suddenly all turned silent, blind and mute.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at one another, the arena filled with dead silence, not a single sound heard, let alone anyone daring to step forward for Li Chen’s "blood for blood."
After all, the bloody precedent was right before their eyes, and no one wanted to step up and become the next corpse.
Seeing them voluntarily retreat, Li Chen naturally didn’t bother with them.
These minor fish and shrimp no longer held his interest.
Moreover, he was not inherently bloodthirsty; if the opponent voluntarily retreated and wasn’t the main culprit, Li Chen naturally wouldn’t annihilate them.
But if they didn’t know their place, Li Chen wouldn’t mind ensuring their complete eradication.
Immediately, Li Chen’s gaze fell upon Mo Zhan again.
Mo Zhan, seeing Li Chen’s Death God-like eyes once again targeting him, couldn’t help but shudder, sending a chill down the spine of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples who went to assist him.
In the eyes of these Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, their senior brother Mo Zhan was nearly invincible.
Never had they seen him fear like this.
"Mo Zhan, now it’s your turn. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Li Chen stared at Mo Zhan with a domineering gaze.
Immediately, just like a Death God, he took light steps, approaching Mo Zhan step by step.
Mo Zhan, seeing Li Chen advancing step by step, clenching his teeth almost until they shattered, shouted to those around him, "Everyone attack, stop him, stop him!"
The Heavenly Demon Sect disciples weren’t fools. Seeing the nearly invincible senior brother trembling in fear, they naturally understood Li Chen’s terrifying power.
Instantly, the disciples who once followed Mo Zhan’s every command as if he were their leader, turned a deaf ear at this moment, scattering like birds and beasts.
It must be said, their speed in fleeing was indeed quick.
In just the blink of an eye, they had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing all his junior brothers and sisters abandon him, Mo Zhan was immediately flooded with unprecedented despair.
He never imagined he would die here!
Seeing Mo Zhan heavily wounded, Li Chen prepared to deliver the fatal blow, but suddenly paused in his actions.
His expression became extremely solemn at that moment.
He sensed a very terrifying and familiar aura, faintly present nearby.
Suddenly, Li Chen stood impressively, shouting into the sky.
"Since you’ve arrived, why hide? Come forth and meet me!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s shout, Mo Zhan, Li Mengjiao, Master Jingkong, and others couldn’t help but be startled.
They had no awareness of this.
As they looked around in confusion, the originally calm void suddenly shook violently.
Soon after, a white lightning traced a dazzling arc across the sky.
Followed by a pair of withered old hands tearing the void like silk fabric.
As the void tore open, a white-haired figure shrank the earth to inches, stepping forward to meet everyone.
Seeing the newcomer, Li Mengjiao, Master Jingkong, and others couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief.
"Star Cloud Ancestor?"
Among the old generation of Great Powers in the Heavenly Domain, the Star Cloud Ancestor at the Tribulation Crossing First Transition peak wasn’t much.
But in the eyes of the young Heavenly Prides like Li Mengjiao and Mo Zhan, Star Cloud Ancestor was an unbeatable existence.
At least, for the moment.
Seeing the Star Cloud Ancestor appear, Mo Zhan couldn’t suppress his joy and burst into laughter.
"Haha, truly Heaven hasn’t abandoned me, Heaven hasn’t abandoned me!"
Li Chen glanced coldly at Mo Zhan as if looking at an ant.
Instantly, he withdrew his gaze, focusing on the Star Cloud Ancestor, speaking in an emotionless tone:
"I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon!"
Upon hearing this from Li Chen, everyone present was startled.
None of them expected Li Chen to know the Star Cloud Ancestor.
Seeing the Star Cloud Ancestor appear, Snow Princess’s heart tightened involuntarily.
Back then, when Li Chen massacred Xingyun Hall, killed Zhai Xingzi, and destroyed the Star Cloud Ancestor’s avatar, she was present.
The reason behind this couldn’t be clearer to her.
The Star Cloud Ancestor’s vulture-like pupils flashed coldly, speaking sinisterly, "Heh, I never expected you would dare come here, and so quickly at that!"
Li Chen smiled coldly, retorting without showing weakness, "If I had come any slower, your injuries might have healed by now!"
