Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 387 - 384: Battle against the Azure Dragon!

Apricot blossom forest, fallen flowers in profusion, indeed like a beautiful landscape painting.

Li Chen and Azure Dragon stand within the painting, facing each other.

After a deathlike silence, Azure Dragon breaks the silence with arrogance, "You just had a bout with Divine Tiger, your True Yuan is greatly depleted, it’s not wise to fight a prolonged battle. If I win against you, it wouldn’t be an honorable victory. How about this, if you can withstand my ten moves without defeat, then we’ll consider it your win, how’s that?"

Li Chen knows the man is Li Lingtian’s subordinate and wishes not to entangle with him too much, so he nods in agreement.

"Alright!"

As soon as Li Chen speaks, a pale-red apricot blossom drifts down from a branch.

"First move, Azure Dragon Emerges!"

Just as the apricot blossom reaches eye level with Li Chen, Azure Dragon suddenly draws his long spear, creating a silver-white streak of light, piercing straight through the petal.

"Such speed!"

Li Chen’s eyes flash with surprise, he fiercely invokes his True Yuan, setting up three defensive barriers.

True Yuan flows swiftly, solidifying into shields that block the attack from Azure Dragon’s spear blade.

Seeing his first move blocked, Azure Dragon does not hesitate, changing moves in mid-air, a Sweeping Thousands of Army strike aimed at Li Chen’s shins.

Li Chen stomps the ground with the tip of his foot, somersaulting into the air and landing atop an apricot tree.

But before he steadies himself, the thrust of Azure Dragon’s spear sweeps horizontally towards him.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The apricot trees, girthy enough for an adult to embrace, snap at the waist just like cornstalks under a scythe, snapping loudly.

"Whoosh!"

Li Chen, standing on the tree branch, quickly draws his sword, carving a rainbow arc in mid-air, striking at Azure Dragon.

Azure Dragon parries with his spear, blocking the sword’s assault.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal collision rings out in the air, and the sparks that scatter are like the brilliant fireworks of Lantern Festival, dazzling and blinding.

After exchanging blows, Li Chen and Azure Dragon each back off three steps.

Azure Dragon is inwardly shocked, and exclaims, "Impressive! Let’s go again!"

During his speech, his spear tip dances across the sky, drawing a pale green light. At first, this light is only about half a foot long, but it cuts with unrivaled sharpness, even tearing the air with a sizzling sound.

"Face my attack, Green Radiance Slash!"

Li Chen’s pupils constrict, showing a hint of surprise.

"Not bad, this is interesting!"

While speaking, he spreads his arms wide as if he is a White Crane spreading its wings, floating to half-air.

At ten meters above the ground, Li Chen suddenly shifts his posture, diving down like a hawk seizing a rabbit.

"Boom!"

The tip of the sword and the tip of the spear collide mid-air, each enveloping a semicircular arc of light, with True Yuan rapidly pulsating within.

Li Chen and Azure Dragon, one above the other, in a forest full of apricot blossoms, stand off in a life-or-death confrontation.

Li Chen’s True Yuan is not as robust as Azure Dragon’s, but Azure Dragon’s True Yuan is not as pure as Li Chen’s, each has their own advantages and deficits, at this moment who can do nothing against whom?

Azure Dragon, recalling the advice from his chief before departure, suggests, "If we continue like this, even until dark we won’t be able to determine the victor, why don’t we break off our moves and decide the outcome then!"

"Oh, is that so?"

As he speaks, the corner of Li Chen’s mouth curls into a playful smile.

Azure Dragon hadn’t expected Li Chen to actually reject his well-meaning offer, and his face immediately darkened as if water were freezing.

"Immortal Master Li, aren’t you quite arrogant?"

Li Chen responded with a cold smile, "Sorry, I’m used to being arrogant!"

Azure Dragon was naturally unyielding, but now, seeing Li Chen even more defiant and arrogant than himself, rage was burning in his heart.

"Hmph, I hope you can still be this arrogant later!"

After a grumble, Azure Dragon intended to activate his True Yuan, showing Li Chen a thing or two.

Suddenly!

He felt something wasn’t quite right; his own True Yuan was flowing out continuously as if it were a small river.

Moreover, the faster he circulated his True Yuan, the quicker it leaked away.

He was terribly alarmed and exclaimed, "Heaven and Earth are Limitless?"

Li Chen responded with an indifferent smile, "Correct, this is Heaven and Earth are Limitless. Azure Dragon, how do you like the feeling? Is it extremely refreshing?"

At this moment, Azure Dragon truly understood what "Dragon Playing in Shallow Water" felt like.

They were now in a life-or-death standoff; if he rashly stopped his technique, it would surely backlash upon him.

But if he continued this way, his True Yuan would eventually be drained dry, and defeat was a foregone conclusion.

But to just admit defeat, and to a mere twenty-year-old at that, the taste of such defeat was actually worse than being killed!

While Azure Dragon was hesitating, Sunx Baiyang suddenly shouted out loud.

"Brother Qinglong, I’ll help you!"

Before the echo faded, a fierce Gang wind swept over, forcibly separating Azure Dragon and Li Chen.

As Li Chen was repelled, Sunx Baiyang took the opportunity to chase after him, slapping out towards him.

Li Chen was caught off guard and instinctively raised his hand to meet the blow.

After an exchange of strikes, both sides retreated after withdrawing their moves.

Seeing that Li Chen was falling behind, Sunx Baiyang turned to Azure Dragon and said, "Brother Qinglong, let’s join forces and take down this Immortal Master Li. Once we decapitate him, I’ll willingly offer up the thousand-year Fire Ganoderma as a token of thanks!"

Before Azure Dragon could speak, Li Chen sneered coldly and said, "Sunx Valley Master, you sure have a cunning plan!"

Sunx Baiyang snorted angrily and barked, "Hmph, Immortal Master Li, didn’t expect this day, did you?"

Li Chen spread open his palm, with a Golden Needle in between his fingers shining brilliantly under the dappled sunlight.

"Sunx Valley Master, if I’m not mistaken, your palm has already started to turn black, hasn’t it?"

Sunx Baiyang was enormously startled and quickly looked at the palm that had clashed with Li Chen’s.

Indeed, a faint black poison was spreading out from his blood vessels.

"Despicable! You’ve actually used poison?"

Li Chen pointed around and said, "Please don’t get angry, or else you might not see tomorrow’s sun!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Sunx Baiyang grew even more furious, "Immortal Master Li, you’re truly despicable, shameless, to resort to such vile tricks. Aren’t you afraid it’ll spread and make you the laughingstock?"

Li Chen shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Being laughed at is still better than losing one’s life, right?"

"And besides, you old tortoise, do you even have the face to call me despicable? Your sneak attack earlier, wasn’t that lowly? The two of you ganging up on the few, the strong bullying the weak, isn’t that despicable too?"

Sunx Baiyang’s face turned a furious shade of blue, "Damn it, you..."

Li Chen interrupted, "What about you? Hit a nerve since I’m right, and you have nothing to say?"

Sunx Baiyang: "I..."

"What ’I’? If I were you, I’d have already banged my head to death against a wall. To live is a waste of air; to die is a waste of land. I’m beginning to wonder if, when your mother gave birth to you, she threw away the baby and raised the placenta instead?"

"You, I... pfft!"

Faced with Li Chen’s relentless tirade, Sunx Baiyang couldn’t stand the insult any longer; his anger boiled over, and he spouted a mouthful of fresh blood towards the sky.
