[First Update] 259: Chapter 258: He’s Not Gay, Is He?
[First Update] At two o’clock in the afternoon, a Humvee charged through like a bolt of lightning.
Before the vehicle came to a complete stop, a fierce-looking middle-aged man leapt out.
“Zhao Ding, is it here?”
The disciple known as Zhao Ding looked around and said, “Elder Du, look, the map sent by Zhao Kui and Zhao Jia points to this place!”
Elder Du, seeing that the map information was correct, waved his hand to his subordinates and ordered, “Split up and search!”
Just as he took two steps, Elder Du noticed traces of burnt grass ahead.
The air seemed to carry a pungent scent of blood.
“Not good, Zhao Kui and Zhao Jia have been killed!”
At that moment, a cold voice drifted over from the distant mountains.
“Hey, I’ve been waiting here for half an hour now, the flowers have even wilted, what took you so long?”
Elder Du looked up and saw a man and a woman gazing over with a mocking smile.
Li Chen responded with a cold smile, “If I didn’t kill them, do you think they killed themselves?”
Elder Du flew into a rage and roared, “Do you have any idea who I am?”
Li Chen shook his head and said, “I don’t know, and I don’t care to remember the names of the dead!”
Completely infuriated by Li Chen, Elder Du’s mouth twitched as he let out a hysterical roar, “Damn brat, I will kill you!”
With that, he waved his hand at his men and commanded, “Attack, kill him!”
A group of Yin Ghost Sect disciples, upon hearing their Elder’s order, formed a triangular formation and encircled Li Chen.
Seeing this, Li Chen snorted disdainfully.
“Hmph, a bunch of ants daring to act presumptuously in front of me, go repent in hell!”
With those words, Li Chen suddenly raised his palm and slammed it down fiercely.
The individuals Elder Du had brought were elite disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect.
However, they had no ability to resist under Li Chen’s palm.
In the blink of an eye, they were completely obliterated.
Witnessing the giant palm imprint on the ground and his disciples twitching in their death throes within it, Elder Du was utterly horrified.
He glanced once more at Li Chen’s improbably youthful face and suddenly, an image came to mind.
The most recently famous Young Grandmaster, Donghua Li Immortal Master!
At this thought, Elder Du shivered as if he had fallen into an ice cave, quivering uncontrollably.
Knowing that even the Dragon Family Ancestor, a Peak of Innate Late Stage old monster, had been forcefully slain by Immortal Master Li, and himself being just a mere Half-step Innate, it was questionable whether he could even survive a single exchange with him!
The reason they targeted Zhao Yuqing was because they heard this girl was Immortal Master Li’s woman; they hoped to use her to force Immortal Master Li to show himself and walk into a trap in Miao Territory.
But they had never anticipated that instead of Immortal Master Li walking into a trap in Miao Territory, Elder Du had already fallen into the opponent’s net.
Elder Du, lacking the confidence to escape from Immortal Master Li’s grasp, had no choice but to steady his spirit and call out with a trembling voice, “May I ask if you are Donghua Li Immortal Master?”
Li Chen grinned, showing a row of neat white teeth, and said, “You only realize now that I am Immortal Master Li, isn’t it a bit late?”
After getting confirmation from Li Chen, Elder Du, who had still harbored a sliver of hope just moments before, now found himself plunged into an abyss of ice, utterly devoid of the courage to even resist.
His face ashen, he was like a son who had lost his mother: “Immortal Master Li, I am Elder Du Sha of the outer sect of the Yin Ghost Sect, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
Li Chen sneered: “Heh, now you recall it’s a misunderstanding, what were you doing earlier?”
Elder Du, seeing a murderous intent surging in Li Chen’s eyes, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
However, he thought of his own status and still mustered up the courage to shout a sentence.
“Immortal Master Li, as an elder of the Yin Ghost Sect, are you not afraid of the Yin Ghost Sect’s revenge if you kill me?”
Li Chen responded with a cold smile, “Not long ago, a man named Wui Shaotian said the same thing to me.
Before him, there was another called Elder Tud who also said the same thing to me.
However, both of them are dead now, each more miserably than the last.
Congratulations, you’re the third!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Elder Du’s mental defenses completely collapsed, and he just sat slumped on the ground.
Everyone fears death, even the elders of the Yin Ghost Sect are no exception.
After weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly got up and prostrated at Li Chen’s feet.
“Immortal Master Li, as long as you spare my life, whatever you ask, I am willing!”
Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, “Really?”
Hearing that Li Chen had relaxed his stance, Elder Du was overjoyed, and he quickly nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.
“Of course, it’s true.
As long as you don’t kill me, I, Du Sha, am willing to climb up a mountain of blades or plunge into a vat of boiling oil without hesitation!”
Li Chen nodded satisfied and asked, “Is that what you said?”
Du Sha kept kowtowing, “Yes, it’s what I said, every single word is true!”
“Alright then, I happen to have a mountain of blades right here, come on up!”
With that, Li Chen waved his sleeve, and immediately there appeared a mound composed of steel blades on the ground, shimmering with cold light under the sun’s reflection.
Du Sha had not expected Li Chen to possess such divine powers and was so frightened that his eyes bulged, and he found himself unable to utter a word.
“What’s the matter, you find the mountain of blades difficult to climb, how about starting with the vat of oil?”
Before the words even fell, Li Chen brought his palms together, and a vat of oil as large as a water tank appeared out of thin air.
It was even possible to see the boiling oil churning inside, sending chills down one’s spine and inducing sheer horror.
Elder Du was completely petrified with fear, those “mountains of blades” and “vats of boiling oil” were just figures of speech, and he never would have imagined Li Chen’s divine powers were so vast that he could materialize them out of nothing.
Zhao Yuqing, standing nearby, was also stunned by this incredible scene.
Her mouth agape, she covered her lips with her hands, afraid she might scream out loud.
In fact, according to Li Chen’s current abilities, he was far from being able to do such a thing.
This was nothing more than a small eye-blocking technique, a trick used to scare people.
In reality, even a three-year-old child climbing this mountain of blades or jumping into this vat of oil would emerge completely unscathed.
“Elder Du, didn’t you say a moment ago you were willing to climb a mountain of blades and jump into a vat of oil for me?
Now you won’t climb the mountain nor jump into the vat.
I just want to ask you one thing – what are you planning to do?
Isn’t this a blatant deception of my feelings?”
Hearing Li Chen’s sentimentally charged words, Zhao Yuqing immediately looked at him with a face full of surprise.
He couldn’t be gay, could he?
Otherwise, that night when they were alone in the same room, and she was stripped bare, how come he didn’t even touch her once?
First update is up, happy Saturday everyone!
