"Fellow Taoist, be careful now, I'm about to make my move!"

Du Song wore a sinister grin, the snake-shaped magic sword in his hand darting like a venomous snake, striking through the void with a scarlet tongue, coming down upon the world.

This was his famous ultimate technique, the Golden Snake Stab!

He opened with a killing move, attempting to defeat Li Chen completely with one strike, leaving him powerless to retaliate.

However, the next scene left him utterly shocked.

The seemingly fatal strike failed to break the defense, as it was forcibly blocked by Li Chen's golden bell.

"Wow, this young brother not only has extraordinary movement technique but also an incredibly strong physique!"

Zhenmeng, who had just climbed to his feet, nearly had his eyes pop out from the astonishing sight.

Others might not see it, but he, as a body refining cultivator, could clearly distinguish that Li Chen's defense relied on his body without using any magical treasure.

Even with his innate divine strength, his physique could not be honed to such a terrifying degree.

"How is this possible? My Golden Snake Stab can even kill Golden Core Experts, how could it not break the defense?"

Du Song's face was filled with disbelief.

Li Chen smiled calmly and responded, "Hmph, you dare show off such trivial skills in front of me?"

After speaking, his pupils shot out a brilliant gaze, firmly locking onto the tip of Du Song's sword.

Immediately, Li Chen secretly circulated his True Yuan, converging it at his fingertips, turning them into a blade that emitted a dazzling knife light, casually slashing forward.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing echoed abruptly, with thousands of sparks splattering and drifting in the wind.

Before long, there was a "crack" sound, and Du Song's magic sword unexpectedly broke in half in mid-air.

Du Song was also blasted away, rolling on the ground helplessly.

Before he could get up again, Li Chen spun around, creating a vortex that drew the broken sword from the stage and hurled it fiercely towards him.

The broken sword hit the target precisely, piercing into Du Song's arm, embedding him onto the stage. The pain contorted his face and elicited a series of painful screams, completely devoid of any genteel demeanor.

Li Chen clapped his hands and said, "You lost!"

Du Song remained silent, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

Instantly, the whole place fell into dead silence.

If people had thought that Li Chen defeated Zhenmeng by exploiting his movement technique to take advantage...

...now, against Du Song, it was a head-on confrontation. His bodily defense, movement speed, and pure True Yuan were all top-tier. Even the Heaven's Chosen Sons and Holy Daughters from great sects were no match for him.

Seeing the silent crowd, Li Chen dusted off his clothes nonchalantly and said, "Anyone else?"

This time, everyone looked around, but no one responded.

Du Song and Zhenmeng were among the top young experts among loose cultivators. Since even they could not withstand a single round against Li Chen this monster, who else would dare to step up?

Li Chen called out "Anyone else" three times, but no one dared to answer.

Seeing this, he shook his head in resignation and sighed inwardly, "How lonely is invincibility," before striding down the stage.

"Wait!"

Just as Li Chen's foot was stepping off the stage, a crisp and cold shout rang out.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a maiden in white attire, with a water-blue ribbon around her waist accentuating her graceful figure, flying through the air towards them.

She gave a slight bow towards Li Chen and said, "I am Li Xuewei, the senior disciple under Jade Dragon Wanderer, here to seek guidance!"

"What, she's a disciple of Jade Dragon Wanderer?"

Hearing the white-dressed girl announcing herself, the crowd erupted in exclamations.

Jade Dragon Wanderer is a seasoned Nascent Soul cultivator, considered a pinnacle figure among loose cultivators. Even elders from Heavenly Sects treat him with courtesy.

Since this white-dressed girl is his disciple, she must also be extraordinary.

Li Chen examined her closely and said flatly, "You're not my match, go back and cultivate for two more years!"

"Uh?"

Li Chen's words left the audience stunned.

"What the heck, this guy is too pretentious, isn't he?"

"Heh heh, does he think he can be unbeaten in the world just because he defeated Zhenmeng and Du Song? What a joke!"

"Hmph, I think he's just a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of how vast the sky is!"

...

Li Xuewei was furious; as Jade Dragon Wanderer's direct disciple, never had she been so disregarded.

Suppressing her inner rage, her bright eyes widened as she shouted:

"It's arrogant of you to say that, isn't it?"

Li Chen smiled lightly and said, "It's not arrogance, just the truth, believe it or not!"

With that, Li Chen ignored her and turned to walk towards Lian Hongshang.

Li Xuewei was furious, her anger erupting as she shouted, "Stop!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly drew her sword, the tip trembling fiercely, transforming into thousands of lotus flowers, tearing through the void as they rushed at Li Chen.

"Chen, watch out!"

Lian Hongshang's face changed abruptly; she drew the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, her delicate jade hand weaving in the air to form an arc-shaped light screen, meeting the attack directly.

"Clang!"

The sword screen shattered with a roar, and both Lian Hongshang and Li Xuewei retreated several steps before quickly regaining their balance.

Li Xuewei was slightly taken aback, her expression towards Lian Hongshang turning serious.

She never imagined that although Lian Hongshang's cultivation level was not high, the battle strength she erupted was amazingly formidable.

However, this did not frighten her; instead, it fueled her burning battle spirit.

"Again!"

With a light shout, Li Xuewei raised her magic sword high, turning it into countless lotus phantom, layer by layer, targeting Lian Hongshang and slashing down fiercely.

Seeing the power of this strike, Lian Hongshang's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She quickly channeled True Yuan, gathering spiritual power in her chest to activate the passive defense of the Ice Worm Silk Armor.

Instantly, the space within hundreds of meters centered around Lian Hongshang instantly froze into ice.

Li Xuewei's lotus sword shadows pierced into the ice, immediately slowing down.

The magic sword in her hand was frozen by the ice.

Soon, the hand holding the sword, her body, legs, and entire figure were covered by ice vines.

In that moment, Li Xuewei became a crystal clear ice sculpture. Her graceful figure was the most perfect artwork in the hands of the divine.

"Hiss!"

Seeing Lian Hongshang effortlessly freezing the direct disciple of Jade Dragon Wanderer, Li Xuewei, the whole venue couldn't help but gasp.

However, Lian Hongshang's face showed no sign of joy at her victory.

On the contrary, her expression was several degrees more serious than before.

Her pupils contracted slightly, as she stared intently at the ice-covered Li Xuewei, tightly gripping the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, ready to strike again at any moment!
