Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 405 - 402: The Sweeping Monk! [Fifth Watch]

When Li Chen arrived at the backyard of the Snake Spirit Temple, an old monk was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.

Upon seeing Li Chen’s arrival, he folded his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Amitabha Buddha, if I am not mistaken, you must be Immortal Master Li, famed throughout Huaxia?"

Li Chen’s expression was solemn as he took a careful look at the sweeping monk and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, I am Immortal Master Li. And who might you be?"

The old monk said, "I am the abbot of the Snake Spirit Temple, known to others as Master Anling!"

Li Chen spoke with a firm voice, "I am here to slay the five Spiritual Snakes. Are you going to stop me?"

The old monk replied, "Amitabha Buddha, as the abbot of the Snake Spirit Temple, it is my duty to protect the temple!"

"Very well, since that’s the case, I will send you to meet the Buddha in the Western Pure Land!"

Having said that, a bright golden light shone from Li Chen’s palm, forming a "卍" light seal, and he hurled it towards the sweeping monk.

Seeing this, the sweeping monk was shocked, "Great Brahma Wisdom?"

Immediately after, his body was also enveloped in golden light, and a "卍" golden seal formed in his palm to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

The two Great Brahma Palms collided in mid-air, ablaze with golden light that overshadowed the fireworks of the Lantern Festival.

After a brief exchange, both Li Chen and the sweeping monk were repelled.

The sweeping monk furrowed his brows and asked in surprise, "Immortal Master Li, where did you learn this Great Brahma Wisdom?"

"You can go ask the Buddha in the Western Pure Land about that!"

As the echo lingered in the air, Li Chen shouted, "Sword, come forth!"

The Zhang Ling Sword was summoned, floating above Li Chen’s head.

Li Chen drew his sword from the scabbard and unleashed a Radiant Slash towards the sweeping monk.

The sweeping monk hastily drew upon his True Yuan, surrounding himself with a Golden Bell Light Shield, futilely attempting to block Li Chen’s attack.

Li Chen struck with his sword without a moment’s hesitation, then stepped forward with a triangular refractive pattern, getting close to the monk. With flames burning above his palm, he viciously struck the top of the sweeping monk’s skull.

"Boom!"

The Golden Bell Shield shattered upon the heavy blow.

The sweeping monk spat out blood from the burning flames, his face filled with shock and terror.

With a century of skill, he was a genuine master of the Demigod Realm, yet he never imagined that he couldn’t last even one round against a mere youth like Li Chen.

"He who blocks my path shall be slain by the gods; he who obstructs my way shall be extinguished by the Buddha. Whoever opposes me, dies!"

While the word "die" echoed back and forth through the air, Li Chen had already advanced with his sword to strike.

Seeing Li Chen’s incoming attack, the sweeping monk dared not underestimate him any longer. He put forth all his concentration, ready to fend off this lethal sword strike.

Li Chen saw that the sweeping monk had taken the bait and a malicious smile formed on his lips.

Taking advantage of his opponent’s unpreparedness, he quickly focused his spiritual power and launched a spiritual attack.

"Death’s Eye, Soul Capturing!"

The sweeping monk had not anticipated that Li Chen would launch a spiritual attack. Caught off guard, his soul was fiercely struck, his head buzzing with noise. His actions also came to a standstill for half a breath’s time.

Half a breath was not long, but for a master of Li Chen’s caliber, it was already enough.

"Bald donkey, die!"

Li Chen’s sword carved a dazzling lightning bolt through the air, shattering the sweeping monk’s three layers of defense and piercing him straight through the heart.

Looking at the blade protruding from his chest, the sweeping monk felt a sweetness in his throat and violently coughed out a mouthful of blood, collapsing forever into a pool of his own blood.

The senior abbot of the Snake Spirit Temple, Master Anling, a cultivator of the Demigod Realm, is dead!

Li Chen yanked out the Zhang Ling Sword swiftly, slashed in a fluid motion, and decapitated the old monk’s head, which then slammed straight towards the temple gate.

"Boom!"

The temple’s great doors were smashed open by the flying head, which rolled twice on the ground before coming to a rest against a stone pillar.

The five heads of the spiritual snakes on the Temple’s principal seat, upon seeing their master’s head chopped off, were all utterly astounded.

All five of their heads had thought of the possibility that Immortal Master Li might storm into the grand hall, but what they had not expected was his unimaginably swift speed.

"Brother Li Chen!" Lin Xuanfei, upon seeing Li Chen, was so moved that her eyes brimmed with eager tears.

"Xuanfei?"

Although Li Chen had already sensed Lin Xuanfei’s presence, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of surprise upon seeing her in person.

By this time, Lian Hongshang had also awoken. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Deep inside, she felt an inexplicable gratitude when she saw Li Chen had come to her rescue.

However, when she saw Lin Xuanfei looking affectionately at Li Chen and heard her tenderly calling out "Brother Li Chen," she felt a bittersweet taste in her heart.

As to the reason why, even she herself was not clear.

"Don’t worry, Xuanfei, everything will be alright with me here!"

Li Chen comforted her and then turned his gaze to Lian Hongshang.

He wanted to say a few words of comfort to her as well, but seeing her icy stare, he swallowed back the words that had almost reached his lips.

The five spiritual snakes, seeing Li Chen entering and flirting with the two beautiful girls right before their eyes, completely ignoring their presence, couldn’t help but burst into a furious rage.

"What a magnificent Immortal Master Li, if we were to eat you, the taste would surely be superb!"

Li Chen’s eyes flashed with cold disdain as he scoffed: "Hmph, you five beasts think you can eat me? Your teeth might not be sharp enough for that."

The five spiritual snakes, humiliated and enraged, roared back: "Hmph, below the God Realm, our teeth can bite through anything. Even experts of the God Realm are not beyond our bite. You, a mere Late-stage Innate cultivator, dare to spout such big words before us?"

"Big brother, why waste words on this insignificant ant? It’s been twenty years since we last stretched our muscles after clashing with the Divine Mother of the Witch God Sect. Let’s use this lad today to get some practice in and let him truly understand the power of the five-headed Snake Spirit!"

Before his words could even settle, one flat-headed snake suddenly opened its wide maw and lunged at Li Chen.

If bitten, its jaws would be able to swallow Li Chen’s entire head.

Li Chen hastily retreated two steps, dodging the snake’s attack.

Without waiting for the snake head to retract, he stepped quickly forward in a triangular refractive stance, swept his hand like a blade, and slashed directly.

"Crack!"

One snake head was severed, and blood spurted out like an arrow, shooting forth with force.

The snake’s body without a head quickly retracted.

However, in just a moment, the chopped-off head grew back.

The five-headed spiritual snakes let out a series of ghastly laughs, arrogantly shouting: "Hehe, Immortal Master Li, you didn’t expect this, did you? With one body and five heads, we are deathless and immortal. With your mere Late Transformation Realm strength, you can’t even harm us, let alone kill us!"

Hearing the words of the five-headed spiritual snakes, both Lin Xuanfei and Lian Hongshang trembled with anxiety, each secretly sweating for Li Chen.

From the current situation, the battle seemed very unfavorable for Li Chen!
