151: Kill Zhao Qian

"Who are you?! How dare you ruin This Young Master's good deeds!"

Zhao Qian leaped up from the ground, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Lin Chen with a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and disbelief. "Aren't you afraid that my Taiqing Academy will exterminate your entire clan?"

"Taiqing Academy?"

Lin Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

From a distance, Yang Hao shouted, "Revered Master, he is Zhao Qian, a standout among the younger generation of Taiqing Academy!"

"Scared now, aren't you! If you're scared, then kneel and beg for mercy. This Young Master might even let you go!" Zhao Qian became smug, thinking that by bringing up the name of Taiqing Academy, Lin Chen would surely be scared out of his wits and leave dejectedly.

To his surprise, Lin Chen said disdainfully, "A mere Taiqing Academy is not something my Wending Sect takes seriously."

"Wending Sect?"

Not only Zhao Qian, but the eyes of the other Prodigies were also filled with doubt.

They had never heard of such a Sect.

Could it be... some small Sect that popped up from somewhere?

To actually say such words, he isn't afraid of his tongue slipping.

In mid-air, the dying Fairy Li Meng trembled slightly. She looked towards Lin Chen and also saw Ziyun.

Her eyes were filled with deep exhaustion and doubt. "This aura... which Fellow Daoist has descended now? Has This Immortal's single wisp of remnant soul actually attracted so many covetous people? Ziyun... why did she bring this person here?"

"Mistress!"

Ziyun rushed over hurriedly. Seeing that Fairy Li Meng's remnant soul was left with only a faint phantom, her tears fell uncontrollably with a 'patter patter'.

"Ziyun, who is that person? Why did you..."

"Mistress."

Ziyun wiped her tears and hurriedly explained, "That Senior is extremely extraordinary; he actually forced his way across the Ruoshui River. He didn't come here with ill intent, but to save Mistress!"

"Save me...?"

Fairy Li Meng shook her head.

She was very clear about her current situation. There was still a glimmer of hope before, but now... sigh, even if a Grand Unity Golden Immortal came, they probably wouldn't be able to save her.

"That might not be the case."

Suddenly, Lin Chen's voice sounded in her ear.

Lin Chen seemed to see through what Fairy Li Meng was thinking and spoke calmly.

Fairy Li Meng's remnant soul shook as she looked at Lin Chen in disbelief. "Fellow Daoist, you have a way? As you can see, This Immortal only has half a wisp of this remnant soul left, like a candle in the wind that could dissipate into the world at any moment. I'm afraid..."

Her voice carried a hint of bitterness and relief, as if she had already accepted the end of her fate.

"No matter."

Lin Chen's tone was indifferent, yet it contained a majestic confidence that could change the world. "Whether it's a remnant soul or a complete soul! As long as I take action, there is no one I cannot save!"

"As long as you are willing to submit to my Wending Sect and honor me as your lord, I shall grant you a fortune of Rebirth!"

"Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering?"

"As long as I do not allow it, even if the Heavenly Dao itself descends, it can do nothing to the people of my Wending Sect!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap!

Not only was Fairy Li Meng stunned, but even the Prodigies from various factions who were barely holding on below were also stunned!

What kind of tone was this?

Defying heaven to change fate, regrouping a remnant soul?

This was a Heaven-Defying act that even ancient mighty figures might not dare to promise easily!

Fairy Li Meng's remnant soul fluctuated violently. A light of disbelief burst out from those illusory eyes, as if she saw a sliver of life in the endless darkness!

Without any hesitation, she used the last of her remnant soul's strength to respond respectfully, her voice trembling and resolute. "Senior! If I can be reborn and continue my path of the Dao, Li Meng is willing to honor Senior as my lord and join the Wending Sect, even if I have to die ten thousand deaths! Please take action, Senior!"

"No!! I don't agree!"

Zhao Qian let out a beast-like roar. His eyes were blood-red, and his entire aura burned fiercely due to extreme anger and unwillingness, even going so far as to burn his Natal Immortal Essence!

"She is mine! She is the key to This Young Master's Breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal! No one shall take her away! No one!"

He stared fixedly at Lin Chen, looking like a madman. "Why! Why do you want to save her! The elders of my Taiqing Academy painstakingly planned for me for hundreds of years! Success was right before my eyes! By what right! By what right!"

Lin Chen finally swept his gaze indifferently toward Zhao Qian, as if looking at a noisy ant, his brows slightly furrowed. "Hmm? You trash are far too noisy! When has it ever been your turn to tell me how to do things?"

His gaze swept over that dark-gold scroll, and the corner of his mouth curled into an undisguised sneer.

"Oh? An Incantation Scroll condensed from a sliver of True Immortal power?"

"Is this your source of confidence?"

"Laughable!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen didn't even raise his hand; he merely moved his mind.

In an instant, a vast, boundless, and supreme will descended out of thin air!

The power of the Cangxuan Realm's heavenly dao origin!

"Buzz—!"

The entire Ruoshui Secret Realm let out an overwhelmed wail!

Before this pure and status-crushing Heavenly Dao will, the dark-gold scroll soon let out a faint crack. The True Immortal Law runes circulating on it instantly dimmed and shattered, turning into dots of light and dissipating without a trace!

"No! This is impossible!"

Zhao Qian watched helplessly as his greatest reliance was easily wiped away like waste paper. He was terrified to the extreme!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Under extreme fear and madness, Zhao Qian burned everything. He performed a forbidden secret technique of Taiqing Academy, condensing a Blood Sword of Destruction that tore through the sky. Gathering his lifelong cultivation and madness, it shot violently toward Lin Chen!

This blow had already exceeded the limit of an Earth Immortal and touched the threshold of a Heavenly Immortal!

Facing this life-risking strike, Lin Chen's eyes remained as calm as still water. He only gave a faint evaluation: "An ephemeral shaking a tree; utterly foolish."

He still made no extra movements, only gently blowing out a breath toward the incoming Blood Sword of Destruction.

"Hu—"

A wisp of seemingly gentle breath was exhaled, but the moment it left his mouth, it triggered the resonance of thousands of Laws in the surroundings!

Wherever the breath passed, space calmed, and all techniques returned to nothingness!

Before this breath, the Blood Sword of Destruction condensed by Zhao Qian was like snow under the sun. It failed to even raise a ripple, and starting from the tip of the sword, it shattered inch by inch, decomposed, and turned into the most original Spiritual Qi particles, dissipating into nothingness!

Even Zhao Qian himself was wiped away along with that gentle breath.

Instant kill!

A true destruction of both body and soul!

Between heaven and earth, only the faint sound of the wind from that breath remained, along with countless gazes that were dull, terrified, and respectful to the extreme.

Before the Immortal Palace, there was a deathly silence.

With just one strike, he killed Zhao Qian at the Peak Earth Immortal stage. This person... is truly too terrifying!

"Run!"

The remaining Taiqing Academy Prodigies turned and fled as if they had seen a ghost!

However, how could Lin Chen possibly let them escape?

"Hu—"

Another gentle breath was exhaled, and dozens of Taiqing Academy Prodigies instantly screamed as they were reduced to ashes.

After finishing all this, Lin Chen acted as if he had only done a trivial matter. He looked at Fairy Li Meng again and spoke calmly, "It's finally quiet. Now... next, I shall help you regroup your Immortal Soul!"
