Chapter 53

The speed was so fast that it even left a faint, blurry trail behind!

Yang Chen, carrying the momentum of a thunderbolt, rushed to the summit of Wufeng Mountain. A surging aura enveloped his entire body, and all the disciples of the Myriad Immortals Hall he encountered along the way were sent flying like cannonballs by the protective spiritual light surrounding him.

Moving like thunder and still like white clouds, when Yang Chen's figure appeared in front of Immortal Xuan Cheng, all the strange phenomena instantly ceased, and Wufeng Mountain returned to its peaceful state.

Yang Chen's gaze was calm, even somewhat indifferent. With one hand behind his back, his eyes, sharp like a blade, swept over Immortal Xuan Cheng, who had been showing off his might at the entrance of Wufeng Temple.

"Are you Ke Bingyi's master, the head of the Myriad Immortals Hall on Biqiong Mountain... Immortal Xuan Cheng?"

"Ridiculous!" As soon as Yang Chen spoke, the disciples behind Immortal Xuan Cheng immediately became agitated and shouted fiercely.

But Yang Chen frowned, and without any visible movement, several tongues of fire suddenly shot out from the burning front courtyard of Wufeng Temple, striking the disciples of the Myriad Immortals Hall who had just been shouting!

"Ahh..." A series of惨叫声 followed, and the smell of burnt flesh could even be detected!

Yang Chen glanced at them indifferently and said coldly, "In front of me, do you have the qualifications to act so arrogantly?"

Immortal Xuan Cheng's face turned extremely ugly. With a wave of his hand, several water mists enveloped the disciples who had been burned by the tongues of fire. He then looked at Yang Chen and said, word by word, "Are you the one who crippled Ke Bingyi's dantian, Yang Chen?"

"Not only will I cripple Ke Bingyi's dantian, I won't even let you keep yours until tomorrow!" Seeing the miserable state of Yu Qing and others, a surge of anger rose in Yang Chen's heart.

Ke Bingyi's dantian being crippled was purely due to his own actions; the heavens were clear, and he received his due retribution.

But Immortal Xuan Cheng, relying on his peak fifth-stage strength, had been bullying on Wufeng Mountain. If he had arrived a few minutes later, the Wufeng Temple, which had been passed down for nearly two hundred years, might have been reduced to ashes in the raging fire!

As the head of a sect and the leader of the Myriad Immortals Hall, Immortal Xuan Cheng did not reflect on the incident or inquire why Yang Chen had crippled Ke Bingyi's dantian. Instead, he only protected his own and bullied the weak!

A true cultivator of such a sect... might as well not exist!

The moment Yang Chen's words fell, a thin, bright blue lightning bolt struck Immortal Xuan Cheng, whose face had turned ashen. The battle... began!

"Hmph, a petty trick, and you have the nerve to show it off!" After all, he was a peak fifth-stage cultivator, whose strength was far beyond what Ke Bingyi could match. With a cold snort, Immortal Xuan Cheng's protective spiritual light erupted!

The lightning bolt struck Immortal Xuan Cheng's head but was completely blocked by the protective spiritual light.

As Immortal Xuan Cheng raised his hand, a brilliant white light suddenly rose from the palm of his right hand. With a fierce cross of his hands, it transformed into a yin-yang fish pattern about forty centimeters in diameter. Two energies, one warm and one cold, intertwined and moved, and countless golden runes appeared around it, creating a very impressive scene!

"Go!" After the yin-yang fish pattern moved for three breaths, Immortal Xuan Cheng pushed his hands forward, sending the pattern toward Yang Chen, who was several meters away.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The seemingly light yin-yang fish pattern moved like a giant war chariot on land, producing a loud rumbling sound.

A surging momentum emanated from the yin-yang fish pattern, and the stone slabs on the ground shattered instantly!

Yang Chen's expression was solemn. He formed a particle equation with his hands and quickly transformed it into a silver, gleaming long sword. With a wave of his hand, the sword shot toward the yin-yang fish with a "whoosh"!

Seeing Yang Chen's action, Immortal Xuan Cheng was also not at ease! His face changed slightly, and his ten fingers moved rapidly. The yin-yang fish pattern seemed to be influenced by something, and the runes around it began to spin wildly, quickly turning into a circle of golden light, producing a loud rumbling sound!

"Boom, boom, boom..." The silver sword struck the yin-yang fish, producing a deafening explosion.

The yin-yang fish pattern dissipated into white light, and the impressive silver sword also shattered and disappeared!

Immortal Xuan Cheng took several steps back, barely managing to stand steady. When he looked up, his face was filled with apprehension.

"This boy... is definitely not a fourth-stage cultivator!" Immortal Xuan Cheng's eyes flashed with intense light, and he was already extremely shocked. A young man in his twenties could actually face him head-on without being at a disadvantage!

No wonder he could easily destroy Ke Bingyi's dantian... Yang Chen must be at least a mid-fifth-stage cultivator, or even a peak fifth-stage like him!

The shock in his heart was so intense that it was indescribable. However, Immortal Xuan Cheng gritted his teeth and did not choose to back down. Instead, he slapped his waist, and an even more powerful energy erupted from his body.

"If I don't eliminate this boy today, in time, as he grows stronger... I will only be left to await my doom!"

His eyes flashed with intense killing intent, and Immortal Xuan Cheng no longer held back, using his strongest move!

"Golden light soars, myriad immortals come to pay homage!"

All the energy in his dantian surged out like a flood.

Even the pores on his body faintly emitted a weak golden light. In an instant, Immortal Xuan Cheng transformed into a golden figure, enveloped in a surging golden light!

"Die!"

With every movement, countless golden streams of light swirled around him. As he took a step forward, countless golden lines spread out like a spider web toward Yang Chen!

Any plants they encountered were instantly shredded by the sharp golden lines!

Yang Chen took a deep breath and, without hesitation, kicked backward, rapidly retreating!

Even in the air, many illusory golden figures appeared, looking like deities descending, beautiful and magnificent, yet filled with hidden danger!

Wherever the golden lines on the ground spread, the illusory golden figures appeared.

In an instant, the illusory golden figures became real, resembling celestial soldiers and generals, wielding golden knives and giant swords, and slashing fiercely at Yang Chen!

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The storm of sword and knife light densely struck the energy shield Yang Chen hastily erected.

The sound of metal clashing and sparks flying!

The disciples of the Myriad Immortals Hall, who had not seen Immortal Xuan Cheng use the sect's ultimate technique for many years, were filled with excitement! This was the Myriad Immortals Hall's strongest technique, "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage"!

A peak fourth-stage technique, it was renowned throughout the entire Chinese metaphysical community!

In the past, the founder of the Myriad Immortals Hall, Lu Yang, used this technique to destroy two existing temples on Biqiong Mountain with a single move, and then built the Myriad Immortals Hall on their ruins, which became famous in Nanhu Province.

Although Immortal Xuan Cheng, with his peak fifth-stage cultivation, could not fully unleash the power of "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage," it was still a formidable technique.

After all, the founder of the Myriad Immortals Hall, Lu Yang, had used this technique to instantly destroy a temple!

Even so, the disciples of the Myriad Immortals Hall were still filled with excitement and amazement.

For many years, as disciples of the Myriad Immortals Hall, they only knew of the existence of this technique but had never seen Immortal Xuan Cheng use it!

Today, they finally got to witness its power and beauty.

Immortal Xuan Cheng himself could not help but feel proud. "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage" was a peak fourth-stage technique that only cultivators above peak fourth-stage could attempt to cultivate. He had spent decades in diligent research to barely control such a fierce energy burst!

Among the 300 techniques passed down in the entire metaphysical community, "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage" was a shining golden flower that could not be ignored!

There were no more than forty sects in the country that possessed a peak fourth-stage technique, which was a concrete manifestation of the sect's lineage and a proof of the Myriad Immortals Hall's deep foundation!

In his view, his full-power "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage" was enough to sweep away all cultivators below peak fifth-stage.

Whether it was a true cultivator of the Daoist sect or a monk of the Buddhist sect, they would be completely crushed by this formidable "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage"! Even... ordinary early sixth-stage cultivators in the metaphysical community might not be able to withstand such a storm of attacks!

He did not believe that a mere twenty-something-year-old young man like Yang Chen could remain unscathed under such an attack! After all, the momentum of "Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage" was so overwhelming that even he himself was secretly shocked by it!

In an instant, Yang Chen had withstood hundreds of sword and knife strikes, but the energy shield was showing signs of cracking, as if it would shatter at any moment, exposing him to the attacks of the golden figures!

But just as Immortal Xuan Cheng's face showed a smile, just as the disciples of the Myriad Immortals Hall cheered, and just as the disciples of Wufeng Temple looked disheartened, some even showing pity... Yang Chen moved!

With a single hand, he formed a seal, and a ten-thousand-foot golden light shot up into the sky!

Under the nearly collapsing gaze of Immortal Xuan Cheng, Yang Chen's cold and mocking voice echoed throughout Wufeng Mountain!

"Myriad Immortals Come to Pay Homage? I can do it too!"

"Boom!" The front of Wufeng Temple was instantly filled with surging golden light.

As his momentum soared, Yang Chen took a step forward... and similarly, solid golden light erupted from under his feet!

"This is impossible!!!"

In Immortal Xuan Cheng's nearly疯狂的咆哮声, a group of golden figures, almost identical to real people, appeared in the air!

At this moment, Yang Chen took his second step...

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

Like a storm, the golden figures of Immortal Xuan Cheng were instantly shredded by the golden knives and giant swords that rained down!

"No!!!"

In his desperate eyes, the surging golden light completely engulfed the terrified Immortal Xuan Cheng...

In an instant, the entire Wufeng Mountain was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping!
