Chapter 51

Jiang Chen is Li Changming's most important target this time, and also his greatest purpose. Jiang Chen killed his two younger brothers and is thus his mortal enemy. Outside, Jiang Chen has the protection of the Yan family. If he hides in the Yan Yu Tower, there would be no chance to make a move.

"Hmph! Li Changming, if you want to kill Jiang Chen, don't daydream. What kind of person is Brother Jiang? Who can just kill him as they please?"

Yan Yang snorted coldly. Although he and Jiang Chen had not known each other for long, he truly admired Jiang Chen's strength to the utmost. In his view, perhaps Jiang Chen was not a match for the early Human Core Realm Li Changming, but if Jiang Chen wanted to evade or hide, Li Changming would have no chance to kill him.

"Is that so? Then I'll kill all of you first, and then go find Jiang Chen. You should know that experts in the Human Core Realm have already opened their Sea of Knowledge. Under my divine sense, Jiang Chen has nowhere to hide."

Li Changming's face was filled with a murderous aura. The aura of the early Human Core Realm spread out, and the fluctuations of primordial energy rippled through the air.

Yan Yang's expression changed slightly. The strength of the Human Core Realm was indeed not something he could compare to. He and Li Changming were both the top geniuses of Chicheng, both with the potential to achieve the Human Core Realm. He never thought Li Changming would take a step ahead of him, but this one step represented a vast difference. Even though his cultivation had reached the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, which was almost stepping into the Human Core Realm, the gap between him and the true Human Core Realm Li Changming was still too great.

"Yan Yang, are you afraid? If you beg for mercy, I might show mercy and let you die quickly."

Li Changming's mocking smile grew stronger. His former rival was now completely suppressed by him, and this feeling was truly exhilarating.

"Ha! Li Changming, if you want to make a move, just do it. Even if you can keep us all here today, your Li family will also pay a price. Don't believe me? Just try it."

Yan Yang's aura surged, and he swiftly drew a long sword. The sword gleamed with a sharp light, clearly a low-grade battle weapon.

"A low-grade battle weapon, it seems Yan Zhan Yun was well-prepared. He even gave you a low-grade battle weapon to use. My brother lost a low-grade battle weapon last time, and today I will take it back from you."

Li Changming's eyes lit up. A battle weapon was an unexpected gain.

"Brother, don't talk so much. Just make a move and wipe them out."

A late Qi Sea Realm expert from the Li family sneered, treating Yan Yang and the others as prey to be slaughtered.

"Make a move."

Li Changming coldly shouted, and the Li family's group charged forward with fierce momentum. Li Changming himself locked onto Yan Yang, his former rival, determined not to let him die too easily.

"Brothers, fight with them. Even if we die, we must take two with us."

Yan Yang's voice was stern, his handsome face twisted. For a warrior, at the most critical moment, death was not so terrifying.

"Kill!"

The seven members of the Yan family let out a loud roar. The despair on their faces instantly turned into a mad determination to die. Over a dozen Qi Sea Realm experts clashed, and the collisions of primordial energy ravaged the forest.

The battle was intense from the start, with both sides like water and fire, unable to coexist. This was a life-and-death struggle, and no one dared to be careless. Everyone fought with all their might, for carelessness meant death.

"Yan Yang, prepare to die."

Li Changming's killing aura surged, and he suddenly struck a palm at Yan Yang. The invisible primordial energy was like an invisible mountain, pressing down on Yan Yang. Such a powerful attack instantly made Yan Yang feel suffocated.

"Roar!"

Yan Yang shouted, and all the primordial energy in his body surged into the long sword in his hand. The sword emitted a powerful hum, and with a sword cry, it slashed towards Li Changming's primordial energy attack like a dragon.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation was insurmountable. Even with a battle weapon, Yan Yang was no match for Li Changming. The difference between the Qi Sea Realm and the Human Core Realm was a major realm, and this gap was not comparable to the difference between the middle and late stages of the Qi Sea Realm.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Yan Yang took three steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the sword, making it stand out in the sunlight.

On the other side, the six members of the Yan family and the seven members of the Li family engaged in a large-scale battle. Due to the difference in numbers and the overall strength of the Li family being higher, the Yan family quickly fell into a disadvantage. Some were already injured, and if this continued, it wouldn't be long before the Yan family could no longer hold out.

"Is my Yan family going to perish like this?"

Yan Yang's face showed a bitter smile. He could imagine the impact on the Yan family if all these young geniuses died here. If Li Changming smoothly entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, the balance of power would shift, and it wouldn't be long before the Yan family was destroyed by the Li family.

"But we still have Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu is the Nine Yin Mystic Pulse, a divine body. As long as the Yan family has a divine body, it will not perish. Even if I, Yan Yang, die, Xiaoyu will eventually avenge me."

Thinking of Yan Chenyu, Yan Yang's mood improved. Yan Chenyu's Nine Yin Mystic Pulse had awakened, a divine body of the ages, and no one could imagine her future achievements. As long as Yan Chenyu was there, the Yan family would not perish.

"Yan Yang, you can die now. I didn't want you to die so easily, but after killing you, I still have to find Jiang Chen, so I'll make it easy for you."

Li Changming's aura surged, and he suddenly pointed at Yan Yang. It was the same Yellow Heaven Finger from the Li family, but the power when used by Li Changming was incomparable to that of Li Changhao and Li Changhong.

"Boom!"

A large yellow finger suddenly appeared, making a loud noise and reaching Yan Yang in the blink of an eye.

Facing the Yellow Heaven Finger, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Yan Yang's mouth. He completely gave up resistance because he knew that with his current strength, he could not withstand Li Changming's Yellow Heaven Finger, even with a low-grade battle weapon.

Yan Yang's smile was bitter. He believed that anyone facing death would feel bitter. Yan Yang closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge impact sounded, but it was not the Yellow Heaven Finger hitting him. Yan Yang clearly felt that the powerful boom and shock wave came from in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw a white figure standing in front of him, punching through the Yellow Heaven Finger.

"Brother Jiang."

Seeing this person, Yan Yang's face lit up with joy, and he secretly wiped away a sweat. He had just walked through the gates of death.

"Brother Yan Yang."

Yan Zhong, Yan Chong, and Yan San rushed to Yan Yang, their faces full of concern.

"You three are safe."

Yan Yang's face showed relief when he saw the three.

"Brother Jiang Chen saved us."

Yan Zhong said.

"Leave Li Changming to me, you three go deal with the others."

Jiang Chen said calmly.

"Alright."

Yan Yang nodded. He didn't know if Jiang Chen could handle the early Human Core Realm Li Changming, but he knew that today, no one else could handle Li Changming except Jiang Chen.

Yan Yang, holding his long sword, led Yan Zhong, Yan Chong, and Yan San into the battle, instantly reversing the situation. The addition of four Qi Sea Realm experts gave the Yan family a numerical advantage, and more importantly, the Yan family had a high-level expert like Yan Yang, while the Li family had no peak Qi Sea Realm experts after Li Changhao was killed by Jiang Chen and Li Changming was restrained by Jiang Chen. Although Yan Yang was injured in the earlier clash with Li Changming, he still held a battle weapon, which made him a formidable opponent.

The intense battle was brutal, and everyone was focused on the fight. No one noticed that a large yellow dog was lying nearby, watching the battle with a contented look, completely like a spectator.

Li Changming's brows furrowed, sensing something.

"There's no need to look. The rest of your people are already dead, killed by me."

Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.

"Jiang Chen, you really deserve to die."

Li Changming's eyes shot out a cold light, and he looked as if he wanted to tear Jiang Chen apart piece by piece.

"Whether I die or not is uncertain, but you won't have a good day today. You want to kill me to avenge your brothers, but do you know what the final outcome will be?"

Jiang Chen said seriously.

"The outcome is that you will die a miserable death."

Li Changming gritted his teeth.

"Wrong, the outcome is that the Li family will be left without descendants."

Jiang Chen shook his head, his bright eyes flashing.

"Hmph! Let me see just how capable you are."

Li Changming snorted, leaping up with his hand in a claw, his momentum overwhelming as he lunged at Jiang Chen.

"Good."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. The move of a Human Core Realm expert was extraordinary. With his mid-Qi Sea Realm strength, he had to give it his all to deal with Li Changming.

"Pop!"

Jiang Chen's arm trembled, and he struck a lightning-fast punch, the sharp light of the punch aimed at Li Changming's palm.

"Clap!"

A crisp sound, and a huge primordial energy vortex formed as the two collided. The aftereffects created a whirlwind that blew the dry leaves into fragments.

Both of their bodies swayed. This collision was a draw.

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a faint smile. To face a Human Core Realm expert with mid-Qi Sea Realm strength and not be defeated was a result he was very satisfied with.

But Li Changming was shocked. He looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief, feeling the numbness in his palm, unwilling to believe it was real.

"How is this possible? He's only in the Qi Sea Realm, yet he has such formidable combat power. Moreover, his physical body is so strong, it can even make my palm numb."

Li Changming's heart was filled with shock.
