The Bizarre Red-Haired Freak, Battling Half-Emperors

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Is bullying an old man any fun?"

A mocking voice rang out.

Hearing that voice, Li Xinghe and the others looked toward its source.

"Who's this?"

When he saw the newcomer, Li Xinghe's expression immediately darkened.

"This is that mysterious youth? He looks perfectly ordinary!"

The imperial preceptor asked in puzzlement.

Watching the youth approach, Li Xinghe's heart leaped into his throat. He had actually come.

"Sorry, Young Master!" Elder Wang said shamefacedly.

"It's fine! Elder Wang, rest first. Leave the rest to me," Di Chen said calmly.

"You're the youth who caused such an uproar two years ago, aren't you?" An icy voice rang out just then.

The speaker was the red-haired freak who had caused trouble at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. He was now staring at Di Chen with a cold sneer.

"Whoever attacked Elder Wang, kneel, kowtow, and apologize. Then hand over Li Xinghe, and I can act as though nothing happened. Otherwise, you'll all be killed without mercy!" Di Chen ignored the red-haired freak and looked straight at Li Xinghe and the others.

"Kekeke! Boy, your opponent is me." The red-haired freak

laughed sinisterly.

"I have no grudge against you, but you insist on courting death. Then I can only send you on your way," Di Chen said calmly.

"Heh, such arrogant talk. Today, you die! Let me see whether you're really as strong as the rumors claim!"

With that, the red-haired freak attacked Di Chen first.

The Cangnan Domain Lord and the others did not stop him! They also wanted to see how strong Di Chen was now.

The red-haired freak went all out from his very first move.

He swung both claws, dense claw rays tearing through the void and sweeping toward Di Chen like a blanket covering heaven and earth.

Facing the claw shadows filling the sky, Di Chen still did not dodge. "Scram!"

With a thunderous shout, a sound wave burst from Di Chen's mouth.

Thud, thud.

The red-haired freak felt as though a thunderclap had exploded beside his ears out of a clear sky. His body shook violently, and thin streams of crimson blood flowed from his seven orifices. His face was filled with intense

horror and confusion.

Thud. The red-haired freak fell to his knees. His eyes remained wide open; clearly, he had died with unresolved grievances.

Hiss!

At this sight, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces blank with shock. An instant kill with one move!

"Heh! Boy, you're doomed. That man was a disciple of the Ancient Lion Clan. Now that you've killed him, you'll die even if you flee to the Nine Netherworlds," the Cangnan Domain Lord sneered repeatedly.

"Oh? The Lion Clan? So what?" Di Chen said calmly.

"I'll say it one more time. Kneel, kowtow, and apologize! Hand over Li Xinghe, or all of you will die!" As soon as he finished speaking, killing intent erupted from Di Chen, sweeping across heaven and earth.

"What terrifying killing intent!"

Feeling the terrifying murderous intent emanating from Di Chen, some of the onlookers could not help shivering. Goosebumps covered their bodies, and their faces turned deathly pale.

"A mere Great Saint dares act so arrogantly before me! You must be tired of living." A trace of mockery appeared on the Cangnan Domain Lord's face.

"What an arrogant brat! Let me face you!" the imperial preceptor sneered from the side.

Hum!

As he spoke, a flood dragon suddenly took shape in the void behind the imperial preceptor, roaring ferociously.

Roar!

The flood dragon raised its head and howled at the sky. A ring of shock waves visible to the naked eye instantly spread outward, razing all the nearby houses and reducing them to ashes.

"Hmph!"

Di Chen snorted coldly. An enormous sword appeared behind him and swept across the eight directions. Wherever it passed, space collapsed and everything was annihilated.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

A series of explosions rang out as the flood dragon was cut to pieces.

Pfft!

The imperial preceptor spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, slamming hard into the ground.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? How can a mere Peak Great Saint contend with me?"

The imperial preceptor was utterly horrified.

The Cangnan Domain Lord's pupils contracted sharply. He had known Di Chen was no ordinary youth, but he had never expected him to be so formidable.

Even a Half-Emperor could gain no advantage over him!

The imperial preceptor struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with shock. What a terrifying youth.

He now believed Li Xinghe's words.

"Domain Lord Cang! This youth is far too strange. If we keep fighting, both sides may suffer, and he has the Sword Sect backing him. Why don't we withdraw?" the imperial preceptor said.

"Withdraw... withdraw... withdraw, my ass! No matter how strong he is, he's still a Great Saint! Stop going on about the Sword Sect, as though the Cangnan Dao Domain has no backing! Hold nothing back. Attack together!" the Cangnan Domain Lord said coldly.

"Fine! Since that's how it is." The imperial preceptor and Li Xinghe nodded. Both unleashed their ultimate techniques at the same time, attacking Di Chen.

A fist struck out, collapsing space. Terrifying fist light swept toward him like a mountain torrent bursting forth.

On the other side, a palm reached out, its five fingers spread like five sharp swords. Fierce sword rays shot forth, piercing the void.

Di Chen's expression remained calm as he slowly raised his right arm. The black longsword in his hand

slashed down abruptly. A dazzling streak of sword light crossed the void and collided with the three men's attacks.

Boom!

An earth-shaking explosion rang out.

The sword light vanished, but the three men's attacks continued toward Di Chen without the slightest pause.

So fast. Di Chen was slightly surprised, then gave a contemptuous smile. "Paltry tricks."

The next moment, the black longsword in Di Chen's hand burst with countless rays of light, like a black sun hanging in the sky. Towering Sword Intent spread outward.

Boom!

An earth-shaking explosion rang out. All three attacks dissipated. "How is this possible? He actually blocked our combined strike." A trace of surprise appeared in the Cangnan Domain Lord's eyes.

They found this sight inconceivable.

Domain Lord Cang's face turned livid. He had never expected that even with the three of them joining forces, they would be unable to do anything to the youth before them.

"You talk too much!" With that, Sword Intent surged from Di Chen

, and the entire sky seemed to freeze, becoming oppressively stifling!

"A Sword... Sword Domain! Just who are you?" the imperial preceptor asked in terror.

"The one who'll kill you!"

Di Chen spoke coldly. "Sword Moves Mountains and Rivers!"

With that, he slashed his sword. A pitch-black sword ray a hundred zhang tall cleaved toward the three with the momentum to destroy heaven and earth.

"This is bad! Retreat!"

The Cangnan Domain Lord's expression changed drastically as he cried out urgently. The three pushed off with their toes and retreated.

Boom!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, everything turned to nothingness. Terrifying Sword Qi swept across the surrounding wilderness. The nearby buildings collapsed one after another.

"Damn it! How is this brat such a monster? He actually comprehended a Sword Domain!" The Cangnan Domain Lord's expression turned exceedingly ugly.

"Sword Breaks Heaven and Earth!" Before they could react, Di Chen had already charged before them and thrust his sword. A pitch-black streak of sword light illuminated heaven and earth, tearing through the void as it slashed down fiercely.

"This is bad! Block it!" the three cried out.

The Cangnan Domain Lord took out a shield and held it before him. The imperial preceptor took out a large spear, preparing to withstand the attack head-on. Li Xinghe took out a jade pendant and activated it.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion rang out. The Cangnan Domain Lord swayed. Although he did not retreat, his face turned deathly pale, while Li Xinghe spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression listless.

"Argh!" The Cangnan Domain Lord screamed as a sword struck his shoul-

der, leaving him drenched in blood and nearly severing his arm. He was utterly dis-

heveled.

"How can this be? Could this Half-Emperor cultivation all be fake? Even the three of them together are no match for Di Chen?" Li Xinghe shouted in disbelief. They had actually been forced back by a Great Saint!

"This brat's combat strength is too terrifying!"

The Cangnan Domain Lord's expression grew even uglier. Gritting his teeth, he glared at Di Chen. "Boy, you forced us to do this!

"Great Seal of the Firmament, suppress him!" the Cangnan Domain Lord roared, unleashing a treasured pagoda. It grew in the wind and flew straight toward Di Chen.

"Be careful! That's a Quasi-Emperor Artifact!"

Elder Wang warned from the side.
