Just now, when Li Chen said this, neither Ye Lan, Du Mao, nor Zhao Heng, nor any of the onlookers believed him.
But now, they all believed without a doubt.
Even Chu Qing, who ranked second, suffered such a miserable defeat; there was no need to talk about others. If it were a one-on-one duel, the result would be this pathetic, or even worse.
Ye Lan, Du Mao, and Zhao Heng, each were exceptionally talented cultivators. Otherwise, they wouldn't have stood out among hundreds of thousands of young loose cultivators.
If they conceded today without a fight, even if they retreated safely, it would leave a psychological shadow, even plant a demon obstacle, causing their cultivation to stagnate and never advance.
And this heavy consequence, none of them could bear.
Seeing their hesitation, Li Chen smiled faintly and said, "Since you refuse to retreat, I'll give you a chance. But I'm pressed for time. Individually, it's too slow. How about this, the three of you come at me together!"
Before Li Chen finished speaking, the whole audience was shocked and speechless.
Challenging three at once, this Li Chen is too arrogant!
Ye Lan, Zhao Heng, and Du Mao exchanged glances and nodded in succession.
"Then please forgive our offense!"
The first to strike was Du Mao.
He wielded dual blades, swinging them left and right, forming a gang wind vortex centered around his body, sweeping towards Li Chen.
"Swish!"
The second to strike was Ye Lan.
She flicked her arm, and a sharp long sword shot out from her sleeve. In the air, it formed three sword flowers, spreading out in sequence, attacking Li Chen's left wing.
"Boom!"
The last to strike was Zhao Heng!
His weapon was a spear. With a thrust, it tore through the void. The tip gleamed with a cold light, aggressively intimidating.
Facing the combined fierce attack of these three, even a Quasi-Nascent Soul expert would have to temporarily avoid their edge, seeking opportunity to defeat them one by one.
However, Li Chen remained composed, "no matter how the storm rises, he sits steady at the fishing platform."
"Vajra Body Protection!"
Li Chen clasped his hands together, quickly forming a seal, enveloping himself with a golden light, forming an indestructible defense.
"Boom!"
"Clang clang!"
"Rumble!"
The killer moves of Du Mao, Ye Lan, and Zhao Heng successively met Li Chen's Vajra Defense head-on.
No matter how many techniques they used, they could only leave a shallow mark on it, utterly unable to break through the defense.
"Such a powerful defense!"
In an instant, all three exclaimed.
At this moment, Li Chen transformed into a Death God, sneering coldly.
"Is this all the ability you three have? That's too inadequate, isn't it?"
As he spoke, his pupils slightly contracted, shooting out two rays of brilliance, scanning the three for weaknesses.
"Swish!"
Li Chen rolled his fingers into a blade, instantly piercing through the Vajra Defense, targeting Du Mao.
Du Mao was shocked, his dual blades clashing in mid-air, forming a defense to protect his heart's Life Gate.
"Clang!"
A crisp metallic clashing sound suddenly rang out!
Du Mao felt a dazzling brightness before him, then his arm holding the blade became numb, and his entire body, like a broken kite, was flung out, crashing against a mountain pillar, rolling on the ground twice before stopping, in an utterly sorry state.
Du Mao with dual blades, defeated!
After defeating Du Mao forcefully, Li Chen flicked a flame from his fingertip, transforming into a light blade, slicing toward Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng was shocked, frantically swinging his spear as if it were a whirring windmill, vainly trying to block Li Chen's fierce attack.
"Hmph, petty tricks, flashy, but impractical, and you dare show off in front of me?"
Li Chen scoffed disdainfully, the light blade in his hand growing larger with the wind, turning into a massive blade several meters long, cleaving straight down with the force of ancient destruction.
"Crack!"
In just one encounter, Zhao Heng's spear was sliced in half. The blaze burned him, forcing him to retreat continuously.
Zhao Heng with the spear, defeated!
Now among the three, two had already been defeated, only Ye Lan remained!
Seeing the defeat was certain, Ye Lan no longer persisted, flipping in mid-air like a swallow, retreating quickly.
Li Chen smiled coldly, responding, "Heh, you provoked me, yet still want to retreat unscathed?"
Before his words fell, a Thunder Light Ball formed in his palm, hurling toward her rapidly.
Ye Lan was shocked, hurriedly waving her magic sword, drawing a brilliant arc in the air, trying to block Li Chen's attack.
However, at the moment of collision, Li Chen's figure flickered mid-air, reaching Ye Lan in the blink of an eye.
Ye Lan was horrified, wanting to retreat.
But it was too late!
With a deft move, Li Chen grabbed Ye Lan's wrist, brilliantly executing an empty-handed blade capture, snatching her magic sword away.
Ye Lan, greatly alarmed, tried to break free from Li Chen's hold.
But Li Chen used a Tai Chi Pushing, sending her flying.
Moreover, Li Chen pushed directly on Ye Lan's snow-white neck beneath the majestic peaks, flattening them on the spot, not bouncing back for quite a while.
Ye Lan, both ashamed and angry, cursed "Damn it," while crossing her arms over her chest, retreating in embarrassment.
At this point, Zhao Heng, Ye Lan, and Du Mao, the combined effort, was utterly defeated.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, the whole crowd couldn't help but gasp.
To defeat the second-ranked Chu Qing in one encounter, and then to defeat Zhao Heng, Ye Lan, and Du Mao, three top ten strongmen, in just three rounds, such a monstrous combat power was simply terrifying!
Even though they saw it with their own eyes, many still couldn't believe this unbelievable scene before them.
The onlookers, either rubbed their eyes or stared wide-eyed, were all dumbfounded.
Previously haughty Liu Jin and Liu Da brothers were now dumbfounded, scared witless, trembling all over.
It turns out, this person really was Li Chen!
Li Chen, seeing them shaking like leaves, smiled coldly and asked, "Now, do the two of you believe that I am Li Chen?"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Before his words fell, both of them knelt on the ground, begging for their lives.
Li Chen, with interest, scrutinized them, sternly commanding:
"Slap each other three thousand times. Miss one time, and I'll punch a bloody hole in you!"
"What, three thousand times?"
Hearing they had to slap each other three thousand times, the Liu Jin and Liu Da brothers were startled.
Li Chen raised an eyebrow, asking, "What, think it's too little? Then let's double it, six thousand times!"
"No, our meaning was..."
"Nine thousand times!"
Seeing Li Chen tripled the number in an instant, Liu Jin and Liu Da were scared into silence.
Liu Jin blamed Liu Da for speaking too much, giving him a loud slap in return.
Dazed, Liu Da reluctantly returned the favor with an even louder slap.
"Slap!"
"Slap slap!"
Immediately, like firecrackers, crackling rang out, causing the onlookers to laugh heartily.
Even the always reserved Lian Hongshang couldn't help but chuckle at this ridiculous scene.
Li Chen then bby took her soft, supple hand, shook his head, and floated away.
As the saying goes:
To kill a foe every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.
Once the matter is done, leave with a flick of the sleeves, hiding one's achievements and fame!
