Chapter 1740 - 1737: Executing Zhao Wuyou
"Crack!"
A sharp sound of bone breaking suddenly exploded.
"Ah!"
This was followed by Zhao Wuyou’s incredibly shrill scream.
Immediately after, his entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, until it crashed into a pillar supporting the palace, then rolled pathetically to the ground.
Zhao Wuyou tried to get up with great difficulty, but before he could move, he felt a stabbing pain all over his body.
He glanced sideways to see his ribs had already been pierced, leaving a gruesome gaping blood wound.
"Hiss!"
Upon witnessing this incredible scene, the room fell into deathly silence, and everyone was astonished, gasping repeatedly.
It’s important to know that Zhao Wuyou’s cultivation had reached the Fake Tribulation Crossing realm, after being fortified by the Heavenly Spirit Pill.
Moreover, given his extraordinary talent, it can be said that under the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he was considered invincible.
Furthermore, even against a real Tribulation Crossing Great Ability, he was capable of putting up a fight.
But no one expected that in just three or five rounds, he would utterly lose in such a disgraceful manner.
What kind of demon is this Li Chen, so terrifying?
Zhao Wuyou could never have imagined paying such a heavy price, yet being so easily defeated by the opponent.
This, this, how could this be possible?
Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, like a lofty emperor, looking down at Zhao Wuyou coldly and said, "Is this all you got? That’s truly disappointing!"
Hearing Li Chen’s merciless taunt, Zhao Wuyou’s face was filled with rage.
He opened his mouth, trying to say something for himself.
But before a word could come out, he felt a sudden sweetness in his throat, and blood poured out uncontrollably.
After a while, he fiercely wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth, gritting his teeth and said, "My father surely won’t let you off!"
Li Chen sneered coldly and replied, "Alright, I understand. Now, please proceed on your way!"
Before the voice fell, a vortex gathered on Li Chen’s palm.
With Zhao Wuyou’s horrified expression, it slammed down.
Zhao Wuyou let out a painful groan, and his entire body collapsed completely into a pool of blood.
His Divine Soul attempted to flee but was grabbed by Li Chen and crushed on the spot.
The once Heavenly Pride, Zhao Wuyou, thus ended in complete obliteration!
The successive deaths of the three Heavenly Prides, Zhuge Qingyun, Dugu Bai, and Zhao Wuyou, caused Mo Zhan, Master Jingkong, and Li Mengjiao’s hearts to tremble with fear.
In the midst of the deathly silence throughout the room, Taotie suddenly roared angrily at Mo Zhan.
Clearly, it was reminding Li Chen to seek revenge for itself.
The roar of Taotie immediately drew all attention to Mo Zhan.
Mo Zhan didn’t expect this creature to hold such grudges, shivering with fear.
Li Mengjiao’s expression also grew slightly solemn, as her eyes continuously glanced at Red Tiger.
She was worried that Red Tiger, like Taotie, might roar at her.
If that happened, today she, Li Mengjiao, might end up dying in this dark hall.
Luckily, Red Tiger didn’t bear such grudges as Taotie did.
Li Chen’s gaze was consistently fixed on Mo Zhan.
Mo Zhan looked at Li Chen with absolute terror, retreating uncontrollably.
Even the joint efforts of Zhao Wuyou, Zhuge Qingyun, and Dugu Bai couldn’t stand against Li Chen.
Relying on himself alone, he stood no chance against this demon.
After forcibly calming his mind, Mo Zhan cast a pleading glance at Li Mengjiao and Master Jingkong.
"Holy Daughter, Mage, we’re all in the same boat now. With Dugu Bai, Zhuge Qingyun, and Zhao Wuyou dead, if we don’t unite, none of us might make it out alive today!"
Hearing Mo Zhan’s terrifying words, Li Mengjiao’s expression slightly changed.
She didn’t immediately respond, but cast a questioning glance at Master Jingkong.
Master Jingkong kept a steady expression, bringing his palms together and silently chanting a Buddhist verse.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Seeing this, Mo Zhan attempted to provoke and stir Li Mengjiao and Master Jingkong to join forces with him against Li Chen.
But just then, Li Chen’s gaze fixed upon Li Mengjiao.
"You are Snow Princess’s senior sister, the Chief Heavenly Pride of Qianxue Hall, Li Mengjiao, aren’t you?"
Li Mengjiao, startled by Li Chen’s sudden inquiry, was taken aback.
She stared at Li Chen, suddenly understanding, and replied, "You’re the demon Li Chen Snow Princess often mentioned?"
Li Chen smiled slightly, saying, "Yes, I am Li Chen, a friend of your sect’s Snow Princess."
Upon hearing this, Li Mengjiao’s hanging heart gradually eased.
No matter what, the opponent had released a sign of goodwill.
If she didn’t take advantage of this, she might genuinely end up dead.
Moreover, judging by Li Chen’s terrifying power displayed earlier, even if she, Master Jingkong, and Mo Zhan joined forces, they probably couldn’t rival him.
With this in mind, Li Mengjiao sheathed her weapon and bowed to Li Chen.
"So you’re Snow Princess’s friend. I apologize for my offense earlier, please forgive me."
Li Chen nodded slightly, returning the gesture.
Then he set his gaze upon Master Jingkong again.
"Master Jingkong!"
Master Jingkong, hearing Li Chen call his name, was taken aback.
Could it be that he also knew someone acquainted with this demon Li Chen?
But thinking back and forth, he couldn’t figure out anyone.
"Amitabha Buddha, may I ask what guidance Master Li has?"
Li Chen pointed towards the heavily injured Thousand Shadows Blood Charm, calmly asking, "This creature has now acknowledged me as its master and will no longer cause harm. Master, could you show mercy and spare its life?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Master Jingkong’s expression was stunned.
Even Zhuge Qingyun, Dugu Bai, and the forcibly breakthrough Zhao Wuyou weren’t opponents for Li Chen.
Not to mention sparing Thousand Shadows Blood Charm, killing them all wouldn’t be difficult for Li Chen.
Yet unexpectedly, he lowered himself to plead with Master Jingkong.
After a moment of astonishment, Master Jingkong joined his hands together, reciting the Buddhist verse, "Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha said, dropping the butcher’s knife for instant enlightenment. Since Master Li can guarantee the Thousand Shadows Blood Charm won’t cause harm, how could I justify further killing?"
Seeing Master Jingkong’s insightfulness, Li Chen smiled kindly and said, "In that case, I thank Master on behalf of Thousand Shadows Blood Charm!"
After speaking, Li Chen seemed to remember something and asked Master Jingkong, "By the way, Master seems knowledgeable and should know Hell Monk, right?"
