Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 543 - 540: Battle Miyamoto Musashi!
Chapter 543: Chapter 540: Battle Miyamoto Musashi!
With roars like the chanting of dragons and the howling of tigers, a black hurricane that pierced through heaven and earth approached, bringing with it billowing dust and dirt.
Seeing the Old Sword Master emerge from seclusion, the disciples of Iga Palace all kneeled down to the ground.
Miyamoto Sakura also bowed deeply to Miyamoto Musashi and respectfully called out, "Grandfather!"
Miyamoto Musashi nodded slightly. His gaze shifted to the corpses strewn about and the destroyed mountain sect, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Immortal Master Li, my Iga Palace has had no grudges with you in the past, and no enmity recently. Why have you destroyed our mountain sect and killed my disciples?"
Li Chen, unwilling to show weakness, directly met Miyamoto Musashi’s aggressive eyes.
"I have a friend named Zhao Yuqing, who fell into your hands. Is that reason enough?"
Miyamoto Musashi was shocked upon hearing this.
Miyamoto Sakura was equally stunned, her eyes wide open. Even if she were the one captured, her grandfather might not immediately go to her rescue.
After a moment of surprise, Miyamoto Musashi pointed at himself, then at Li Chen.
"Immortal Master Li, we both stand at the pinnacle of this world. Our power is overwhelming, comparable to an emperor. Whether it’s female celebrities, models, rich heiresses, or even Sect Saintesses, or Royal Princesses. With just an order from you, they will obediently crawl into your bed, what kind of woman can’t you have?"
"Moreover, I have long heard that Immortal Master Li is a notorious playboy with countless women. And yet, now for the sake of this one woman, you are willing to attack my Iga Palace and become an enemy of this old man. Is it worth it?"
Without waiting for Li Chen’s response, Miyamoto Musashi pointed at Miyamoto Sakura and said, "This is my granddaughter, Miyamoto Sakura, who is also a Royal Princess, truly a precious gem. She is ten, no, a hundred times more valuable than your Zhao Yuqing. If you are willing to come under my command, she will be yours. Whether as a wife, concubine, or even as a maid or slave, it’s all up to you. What do you think?"
Hearing her grandfather’s words, darkness flashed before Miyamoto Sakura’s eyes, and she nearly fainted.
Was this something that a grandfather, an Imperial Pillar, would say, offering his own granddaughter, a Royal Princess, to serve someone as a maid or slave?
Li Chen smiled coldly and said, "In your eyes, Yuqing might be just one of the countless ordinary women in the world. But in my eyes, she is unique. Even if you offered the entire Iga Palace, or even the entire Japan Empire, I would not even consider the exchange!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone present was somewhat dazed.
Faced with the almost irresistible conditions offered by the Old Sword Master Miyamoto Musashi, Immortal Master Li actually refused?
Miyamoto Sakura felt a sense of defeat, her face flushed with humiliation. She felt as if she had been slapped in the face, a Royal Princess and granddaughter of a Sword Saint, being offered and rejected as a maid or slave. She wished she could immediately find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
While Miyamoto Sakura felt a deep sense of defeat, Zhao Yuqing at the top of the mountain shed tears of happiness.
In his eyes, she was not worthless after all.
Even the young girl Shui Yue had stars in her eyes.
"Wow, big brother is so handsome!"
However, Jing Yi Immortal snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, only boasting without strength. It’s nothing more than a path to death!"
Li Chen had yet to reach Foundation Establishment, and was just a step away from the Mortal World’s God Realm. Miyamoto Musashi, on the other hand, was at the peak of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, ready to advance to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment at any time. There were two whole realms between them.
Even if Li Chen was Heaven’s Chosen Son, with Heavenly-defying Treasures or supreme Cultivation Techniques, at best he could only retreat unscathed. To turn the tables was practically impossible.
Furthermore, the Iga Palace had hundreds of disciples, a dozen at the Transformation Realm, three or four at the Demigod Realm, and one at the Quasi-God Realm to boost their combat strength. If they all surged in attack, their fighting capabilities could not be taken lightly.
Therefore, she concluded that Immortal Master Li was essentially courting death.
"What a pity, a talented youth who is impetuous and does not know how to conceal his edge. Such a promising prospect, to fall like this is truly regrettable!"
Jing Yi Immortal fixed her gaze on Li Chen for a moment, and couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.
If it wasn’t for Moon God Palace’s policy of only recruiting female disciples, she might have actually considered taking a liking to his talents and had the intention of taking him away with her.
Upon hearing Jing Yi Immortal’s words, Zhao Yuqing’s heart sank. Her clear eyes brimmed with worry.
It seemed that Jing Yi Immortal saw through Zhao Yuqing’s thoughts and said coldly, "Later, I can help you save his life. However, after this matter, you must be willing to come with me. And you also have to promise me that from now on, you will completely sever your emotional ties and never see him again. Are you willing to do that?"
Hearing Jing Yi Immortal’s words, Zhao Yuqing trembled slightly. She glanced at Li Chen deeply once more, biting her lips tightly.
Brother Li Chen, in the past, it was always you cherishing and loving me. Without you, Yuqing might have long perished and become a pile of dry bones. Today, let me do something for you!
With that thought in mind, Zhao Yuqing withdrew her gaze and turned to Jing Yi Immortal.
"Fine, I agree to your terms, but you must ensure his safety. If he lives, I live; if he dies, I will follow him in death, and I will never go with you to Moon God Palace!"
Zhao Yuqing’s voice was not loud, but her tone was undeniably resolute.
Jing Yi Immortal was taken aback and, after a long pause, finally nodded softly.
"I want to see what kind of man has made you so deeply attached."
Having said this, she turned her gaze towards the two below, who were engaged in a life-and-death standoff.
...
Seeing Li Chen utterly rejecting his proposition without mercy, Miyamoto Musashi couldn’t help but become furiously embarrassed.
"Good, truly a man of loyalty and righteousness, that Immortal Master Li. Since this is the case, then let this old man send you on your way. Let me show you the divine might of Japan’s Sword Saint!"
As his words fell, his hand, which looked like dried wood, suddenly reached into the air. A black hurricane erupted, violently slamming towards Li Chen.
He sat at the crater of Mount Fuji for half a century and with every gesture, he could harness the forces of heaven and earth. His palm not only carried sharp gales like knives but also high-temperature flames that could burn a human body to ashes.
Even for a true Divine-level Master, facing such a domineering palm strike would be a great headache.
However, Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged, embodying the composure of "sitting steady on the fishing platform despite the rising storm".
Only when the hurricane flame swept over the sky, covering the earth like a sweeping curse, did Li Chen let out a disdainful snort.
"Hmph, mere child’s play!"
He brought his hands together, rapidly forming seals, and condensed a golden seal in the air. It pressed down towards the black hurricane like a reincarnated deity.
"Boom rumble!"
The golden Buddha Seal collided with the dark storm. The clash was as majestic as two armies in combat, with an overwhelming momentum—like the surging Yangtze River violently crashing against protruding rocks, creating roaring waves and lifting up heaps of white foam.
Some unlucky disciples of Iga Palace were affected by the splashing "white foam". They were instantly shattered to pieces, with not even a trace of remains left.
Seeing this inconceivable scene, Miyamoto Musashi’s heart was filled with shock.
"How can this be possible? Even if you have proved yourself in the God Realm, you couldn’t have broken through my Hurricane Flame Palm so effortlessly?"
Li Chen dusted off his hands, laughing coldly, "Facing Immortal Master Li, nothing is impossible!"
Seeing Miyamoto Musashi erupt in rage, his arrogance uncurbed,
"Hmph, arrogant. Immortal Master Li, that Hurricane Flame Palm was just a starter. The real feast is yet to come. Let’s see if you can withstand it?"
