Seeing Ji Li back down, Long Chen slowly withdrew his thunder spear and detached it. A bloody hole appeared in Ji Li's chest, the wound charred black, looking extremely terrifying.
The Jiuhua Sect disciples who had been knocked to the ground by Long Chen struggled to get up, no longer showing their previous arrogance and domineering, and now looked at Long Chen in terror.
Ji Li's face darkened as he formed hand seals with one hand. The wound on his chest healed rapidly. His cultivation was extremely high, but Long Chen didn't give him a chance to use it.
"Senior Brother Ji Li... Master Yunyang was extremely embarrassed and could only grit his teeth and speak up.
"No need to say more. I, Jiuhua, came with kind intentions to discuss the Dao Discussion Conference, but I never expected to be treated like this.
From now on, Jiuhua and Lingxiao Academy are no longer allies. See you at the Dao Debate Conference. Ji Li snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave. The disciples hurriedly slinked after him, leading their men down the mountain.
After Ji Li and the others left, Master Yunyang sighed and said, "The Jiuhua Sect's visit was specially arranged by the academy to cultivate your experience in Dao discussions, so you won't be caught off guard at the Dao Debate Conference." It
turned out that Jiuhua Sect and Lingxiao Academy were both at the bottom of the Jiuzhou Dao Debate Conference. Their mentor teams got along well, and before the conference, they would have some exchanges to prepare for the event.
Unexpectedly, Jiuhua Sect rushed over excitedly, only to be beaten back by Long Chen, which left Master Yunyang in a very awkward position.
"Can someone like this really discuss the Dao?" If you have not attained the Way yourself, how can you spread the Way? Anyone who considers themselves superior to others can be a teacher to others, but has already fallen behind and is not worth discussing the Way. Long Chen shook his head.
Whether it was the middle-aged man or the disciples, each of them held their chins high, wearing the air of 'the greatest in the world', looking nothing like they were here to discuss the Dao at all—more like they were here to challenge the school.
Long Chen fought his way from the lower realm to the Immortal Realm, encountering countless real big shots along the way. He simply didn't take such people seriously.
In Long Chen's eyes, the only ones truly worthy of being called masters and respecting him from the depths of his soul were the five Great Emperors: Yun Shang, Qing Xu, Mo Li, Ziyang, and Han Wei.
In the Immortal Realm, the only person Long Chen could truly admire now was the Old Sweeper, who made him feel unfathomable and wise as the sea. The rest, though admirable, were not worthy of being his teacher.
Originally, Long Chen was a bit uneasy and uncertain about the Dao Debate Conference, but seeing someone like Ji Li able to attend the Debate Conference, he suddenly felt much more at ease.
Seeing Long Chen say this, Master Yunyang was helpless. They knew Ji Li was high-profile and quick-tempered, but he had no ill intentions.
However, years of setbacks at the Dao Debate Conference had made him feel somewhat inferior. His high-profile behavior was merely a cloak to cover his inferiority.
But regardless, he had participated in several Dao Debate Conferences. Regardless of his ranking, his experience was indeed very rich.
He had his own unique views on some arguments, spoke sharply, and liked to nitpick. Because of this, the academy saw this as a great opportunity for Long Chen to gain experience, but they hadn't expected such things to happen.
"Bad news, the Jiuhua mission has been ... Someone killed him. "Suddenly, a disciple ran over, his face full of terror.
"What?"
Master Yunyang and the others were shocked: "What's going on?" "
The Jiuhua delegation had just left the academy and ran into Senior Brother Changchuan, who was returning to the academy. They clashed with each other, barely exchanged a few words, and then started fighting. Even with Master Ji Li's full power, he still couldn't withstand three of Senior Brother Changchuan's attacks and was beheaded." The disciple hurriedly said.
"Young Master Changchuan... Yunyang
Celestial Master and the others' expressions changed, and even Long Chen was shocked. The mysterious second place on the Earth Ranking had actually appeared at this moment.
Judging by the man's tone, Young Master Changchuan was extremely terrifying. You have to understand, the reason Long Chen subdued Ji Li with a single move was because he didn't give him a chance to unleash his cultivation.
Yet Young Master Changchuan killed Ji Li in just three moves just as he was unleashing his full power, which shows just how powerful Young Master Changchuan is.
"Sorry, let's go check on ...," Master Yunyang was about to leave.
"No need."
At that moment, the void trembled, and a man in white appeared out of thin air. Ripples swirled around him, and behind him was a blazing sun, and within that sun, a phantom was also moving.
Under the blazing sun, a man stood in midair. His body was tall, his long hair draped over his shoulders, his brows sword-like, and his eyes like bright stars. His entire face was as if carved from flawless jade—handsome, refined, and extraordinary.
Even Long Chen, used to seeing all faces, had to admit that this man was indeed handsome—almost perfect—something he himself could only dream of.
"Young Master Changchuan, you have awakened the first-generation bloodline—truly something to celebrate." Master Yunyang saw the strange phenomenon behind Young Master Changchuan and exclaimed in shock.
"Is that the first generation's phenomenon?"
Only then did Long Chen shift his gaze away from Young Master Changchuan's face and look at the sun behind him. As Long Chen carefully examined the phenomenon, the patterns within it suddenly changed, revealing a pair of eyes.
Those were not human eyes, so it was impossible to tell what kind of creature they were. When those eyes appeared, a fierce killing intent surged. Long Chen felt two sharp swords shoot out from those eyes, following his gaze straight into the depths of his soul.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void exploded, and an invisible force erupted, creating a ripple between Long Chen and Young Master Changchuan. The ripple spread, and Master Yunyang and the others cried out in shock.
The ancient soul pressure was released, and even Master Yunyang and the others felt a sharp pain in their souls, the ripple nearly tearing through their soul defenses.
Long Chen and Young Master Changchuan both shook their heads and stepped back a few paces, shock flashing across their faces:
"Power of Dragon Blood"
"Moon-Watching Rhinoceros."
At the moment their souls collided, Long Chen saw a scene of a rhinoceros gazing at the moon. But unlike the rhinoceros gazing at the moon he had seen, the rhinoceros was enormous, standing in the starry sky, surrounded by endless starlight. Its body seemed larger than a stretch of starry sky.
And in the direction the giant rhinoceros was looking, there was a bright moon. Within the moon, Long Chen seemed to see a scene of chaos. But before he could look closely, a dragon's roar appeared deep within his soul, and then two soul pressures collided, instantly erasing all images.
Although it was only a brief clash, the scene was deeply shocking for both Long Chen and Young Master Changchuan.
"I didn't expect you to possess the true dragon's essence blood and be protected by the dragon soul. That's good, but I don't think I'm taking advantage of you. Do you dare to fight?" Changchuan Dongzi's long hair flew wildly, his fighting spirit soaring as he looked coldly at Long Chen.
