Suddenly, Chu Chen let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with brilliant purple light as he swept over every inch of the street.
"A mere illusion, attempting to deceive my eyes?"
The corners of his mouth curled up into a disdainful arc, and he strode forward.
The street grew increasingly crowded, yet no one noticed.
Just moments ago, a young man had walked by and headed straight for the Divine Bow Sect's carriage.
The Divine Bow Sect's carriage stopped, and Li Tianyu emerged, his gaze falling upon the street corner not far away.
He saw a young man in a grey robe, carrying a long spear on his back.
Rumble!
It was like thunder from a clear sky, shaking the surroundings!
Li Tianyu's entire body erupted in blazing golden light, like a scorching sun ascending into the sky!
Simultaneously, a terrifying pressure descended, vast and overwhelming.
It crushed everything in its path, and wherever it passed, all things disintegrated into dust.
This was pure power, transcending the mortal realm, incredibly terrifying!
"This is... a Body Refinement Saint!"
"So fearsome!"
The crowd was aghast. This young master Li not only possessed extraordinary talent but also a powerful physique. He was truly terrifying!
"I've heard that the Divine Bow Sect has a powerful secret technique called the 'Nine Styles of the Divine Bow.'
If mastered, it can shatter stars with a single punch and injure Martial King powerhouses!"
"I saw a record in ancient texts about Li Tianyu of the Divine Bow Sect.
He has already mastered the first style, 'Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas.' He is truly incredibly strong, unmatched among his peers!"
"How can someone like him be compared to ordinary people?"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, secretly amazed.
Li Tianyu surveyed the surroundings with arrogance, his aura surging. He looked down at the young man before him with disdain.
A mocking smile played on his lips. "It was you, who dared to speak to me in such a manner?"
"Hmm, as expected of the Li family's young master, to notice the anomaly so quickly."
Chu Chen appeared indifferent, but his heart was tense.
He hadn't expected this pampered young master to be so perceptive, capable of sensing soul fluctuations.
"Heh, you've got quite the nerve."
Li Tianyu snorted coldly. "I'll have you kneel and kowtow to apologize, or you'll die here today!"
"Killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand. Do you believe me?"
Hearing this, Li Tianyu was stunned. After a long pause,
He burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you're making me laugh my teeth out! A mere good-for-nothing like you has the right to say that?"
Rumble!
A dull thunder echoed in the void.
In an instant, the sky darkened. Dark clouds churned, lightning flashed, winds howled, and rain poured down!
"What's happening?"
The people on the street were terrified and scrambled for cover, their faces a mixture of panic and horror.
Chu Chen looked up at the churning, roaring dark clouds in the sky.
He sensed strands of extremely malevolent killing intent brewing furiously.
Boom!
A black dragon coiled in the sky, roaring and intimidating countless demonic beasts!
"Is this the legendary Dragon Vein?"
This scene filled everyone with absolute dread.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the dark clouds exploded.
A pitch-black dragon claw emerged, tearing through the void, and lunged towards the carriage.
Bang!
A deafening crash.
The carriage shaft snapped, the carriage collapsed, and splinters flew!
From within the carriage, a sturdy and powerful figure fell to the ground, creating a large crater.
Li Tianyu lay on the ground, covered in blood, his clothes tattered and in a sorry state.
"Damn it! Who was it?!" Li Tianyu roared, his eyes bloodshot.
At this moment, the surrounding commoners breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was the Li family's carriage that was attacked; otherwise, they would have been in danger.
However, they didn't notice that in the gap of a broken brick,
A green bead, about the size of a thumb, silently slipped into Li Tianyu's pocket.
...
"Young Master!"
"You scoundrels, you've beaten my young master to this state. You will all die!"
Several attendants immediately became enraged, drew their swords, and forced back the surrounding martial artists.
Chu Chen stood at a distance, watching quietly.
His target was Li Tianyu of the Divine Bow Sect. These ordinary guards were beneath his notice.
"Brother, are you also here for the assessment?"
Just then, one of Li Tianyu's attendants saw him and quickly called out.
"Indeed. May I ask what your business is?"
"Since you're here for the assessment, why not travel with us?" the man suggested.
"No need."
"I have other matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now."
With that, he tapped the ground with his toes and instantly darted several feet, arriving beside Li Tianyu and his group in a flash.
"Huh?"
Li Tianyu and his attendants were taken aback. Then, they clearly saw who had arrived.
"So it's you, the country bumpkin!" Li Tianyu sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
"I advise you to scram obediently, lest you be shot to death!"
An attendant beside him said arrogantly, his gaze venomous.
"There are thirty guards here. Unless you have the cultivation of a Martial Master, you won't leave this city alive!"
Although they were elites trained by the Li family, they dared not act with utter impunity.
This town was the territory of the Divine Bow Sect, and they could not cause trouble.
"Heh heh."
The other party chuckled dismissively. "You are all just insignificant trash, not worthy of speaking to me."
"What? You're seeking death!"
"Arrogant fool!"
Everyone was furious. This country bumpkin was so audacious, it was utterly unbearable!
Li Tianyu's expression changed slightly. He sensed something unusual.
"You are very peculiar!" he said in a deep voice. "Who exactly are you?"
"That's none of your business."
"Heh heh, I'd like to see how arrogant you can be!" Li Tianyu's eyes glinted with ruthlessness.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three sharp arrows pierced the air, their edges gleaming, locking onto Chu Chen's forehead with extreme speed!
"Hmm?"
Chu Chen's eyes narrowed.
He gripped a silver-white heavy sword and swung it, blocking two iron arrows with a clang.
The remaining iron arrow was blocked by his right arm.
However, at this moment, Li Tianyu let out a cold shout, activating his spiritual treasure flying sword.
He thrust the sword towards Chu Chen's throat, as fast as lightning, with chilling killing intent!
Hum!
The void trembled. This sword strike was incredibly fast!
However, it was blocked. Sparks flew, and the clash was powerful, shaking the void.
Pfft!
Blood splattered. Li Tianyu's neck was cut, leaving a hideous gash.
"You, how could..." Li Tianyu clutched his bleeding neck, disbelief etched on his face.
Chu Chen glanced at him coldly, offering no explanation.
"Good! Well done, you ignorant brat, daring to injure my young master! You're finished!"
The Li family attendants were furious.
"Kill him!" Li Tianyu gritted his teeth.
"Kill him!" Instantly, everyone surged forward.
However, in just a few seconds, screams erupted one after another. Guards were crippled and lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Now, are you convinced?"
Wearing a blue robe, holding a long sword, he walked slowly.
"Hiss!"
Gasps of shock rippled through the surroundings.
"Who is this guy? Such formidable strength, taking down everyone by himself?!"
"Judging by his attire, he seems to be from some remote region?"
