Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 455 - 452: Only the Word "Love" Hurts the Most! [Fourth Update]

Chapter 455: Chapter 452: Only the Word "Love" Hurts the Most! [Fourth Update]

In the great hall, dust and smoke billowed as the battle raged.

Outside the great hall, Lian Hongshang and Mon Wushang watched intently.

Clear ripples of concern danced in Lian Hongshang’s eyes.

"How can there be such a commotion inside? Could it be that Ancestor Yin Ghost has ascended to the God Realm?"

Mon Wushang, with a teasing smirk, bantered, "Goddess, you seem quite worried about him?"

"No, don’t talk nonsense!"

Lian Hongshang’s expression suddenly turned cold, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

"Since you’re not worried, why the agitation? Regardless, Immortal Master Li is doomed this time!" Mon Wushang said with a detached smile, coldly.

Lian Hongshang didn’t reply, her beautiful eyes sweeping around, fixated on the activity within the great hall.

Li Chen, your life is mine to take; I want to be the one to kill you, don’t you die inside!

"Boom!"

Just then, a deafening explosion came from inside, and the entire great hall collapsed.

"Such fierce force... it seems Immortal Master Li is undoubtedly dead!"

A hint of triumph flickered in Mon Wushang’s grim eyes.

Hearing that Li Chen was dead inside threw Lian Hongshang into turmoil. Whether out of some stimulus or not, she suddenly charged in.

"Li Chen, Li Chen, where are you?" freēnovelkiss.com

Like a madwoman, she frantically searched for Li Chen amidst the ruins.

But even as her delicate hands were stained with blood, she found nothing.

"I’m not dead; what are you grieving for?"

At that moment, Li Chen emerged from the rubble.

He was disheveled, bearing no resemblance to the peerless grace of Immortal Master Li.

Upon seeing Li Chen alive, Lian Hongshang first felt a surge of joy.

However, she quickly reverted to her icy demeanor.

Mon Wushang, seeing Li Chen alive, was utterly incredulous.

"Did you kill Ancestor Yin Ghost?"

Li Chen smiled ambiguously and coolly replied, "You could say that. What, do you have an objection?"

Mon Wushang was still in disbelief, his face full of astonishment, "How is this possible? He had ascended to the God Realm. How could you possibly kill him?"

Li Chen smiled meaningfully, reached out and dragged the body of Ancestor Yin Ghost from the rubble, tossing it in front of Mon Wushang.

"I said I’d make him die today; no one can keep him alive till tomorrow. Even if he entered the God Realm, I would still kill him without hesitation!"

In fact, it was not Li Chen who personally killed Ancestor Yin Ghost. After over a hundred exchanges in their fight, Li Chen took advantage of his opponent’s distraction by using the Soul Capturing Technique to disrupt his mind, causing him to suffer violent backlash from the water and Fire Spirit Pearl, exploding to death.

But that was no longer important.

What mattered was that he was alive, and Ancestor Yin Ghost was dead.

Mon Wushang, seeing that it was indeed Ancestor Yin Ghost’s corpse, was extremely shocked. The look he gave Li Chen was filled with fear.

Li Chen glanced at him and asked coldly, "I heard your Heavenly Demon Sect also wants to kill me, right?"

Even Ancestor Yin Ghost, who had entered the God Realm, had been slain by Li Chen. Mon Wushang lacked the courage to face him head-on.

Taking advantage of Li Chen’s distraction, Mon Wushang’s figure flashed as he made a quick escape.

Li Chen did not bother to give chase.

Once he was sure the other had fled far away, he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and blood gushed out.

In the moment of Ancestor Yin Ghost’s backlash, he had struck out with all his might, attempting to drag Li Chen down with him.

Fortunately, Li Chen was prepared and used his Protective Gang Qi to deflect most of the Hand Energy.

However, a portion of the Hand Energy pierced through the Protective Gang Qi, severely injuring him.

Seeing Li Chen coughing up blood, Lian Hongshang asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Li Chen vigorously wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, trying to sound nonchalant, "I’m fine!"

"By the way, do you still want to kill me?"

As he spoke, Li Chen’s gaze met Lian Hongshang’s eyes.

For some reason, Lian Hongshang felt a sense of guilt and her gaze darted away, unable to meet Li Chen’s eyes.

Seeing she did not respond, Li Chen simply smiled faintly.

"If you want to kill me, now is your only chance. Otherwise, you might not get such a good opportunity again!"

Lian Hongshang did not reply, seemingly hesitant.

"Since you’re not going to kill me, then I’ll take my leave!"

Having said that, Li Chen, dragging his injured body, staggered forward.

"Li Chen!"

Just then, Lian Hongshang suddenly called out from behind.

Li Chen stopped, without turning his head, he asked, "What, have you changed your mind?"

Lian Hongshang did not answer, but slowly drew her sword.

Seeing her draw the sword, a solemn look flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, and a whirlpool of True Yuan quietly condensed in the palm of his hand.

However, Lian Hongshang’s sword thrust was not aimed at him, but at her own left shoulder.

"Thud!"

Blood spurted out, leaving a splash-like bloodstain on the ground.

Li Chen, startled, urgently asked, "Lian Hongshang, what are you doing?"

Biting her lip, Lian Hongshang said, "At the Snake Spirit Temple, you saved my life; I am repaying you now. We are even!"

Li Chen was stunned, asking, "But was there really a need for you to hurt yourself?"

The edges of Lian Hongshang’s mouth curled into a bitter smile as she replied, "My mission was to kill you. Failure to do so means I must be punished. This is my affair, it has nothing to do with you. Go on and leave!"

Li Chen fell silent, quietly watching Lian Hongshang. He wanted to say something, but opening his mouth, ended up not uttering a word.

"Take good care of yourself!"

Lian Hongshang glanced at Li Chen and turned to walk down the mountain.

At this moment, the sun was setting in the west.

The clouds in the sky were uncertain if they were dyed red by the sunset or by the blood, appearing extraordinarily striking, like a blooming rose.

She had been confined at Contemplation Cliff with no sight of the sun for over nine months and had never seen such a beautiful sunset.

Yet beyond the beauty, it brought her an indefinable sorrow.

A failed mission last time meant facing the wall as punishment for a year.

This time, who knows how long it would be? Three years, five years, or ten years?

However, she didn’t feel sad.

Instead, there was a sense of relief, as if a burden had been lifted.

Merely nine months had passed, and he had already grown so quickly. In three to five years, even her master might not be his match, much less herself having any hope to kill him.

Without hope, there is no choice.

Without choice, there naturally wouldn’t be any conflict.

Without conflict, maybe the heart wouldn’t hurt anymore?

Although she had been acquainted with solitude since childhood, the deepest fear in Lian Hongshang’s heart was loneliness.

Especially inside Contemplation Cliff, where she never saw the sun all year round, the darkness and dampness made one feel utterly forsaken by the world.

But this time, she was actually looking forward to returning there!

Although it would make her feel lonely, even afraid, at least it wouldn’t bring heartache.

Among the eighty thousand words in the world, the character for ’love’ is the most hurtful!

...

The Yin Ghost Sect has been obliterated, this plotline is concluded. There might not be any updates today, as Little Le needs to carefully plan out the subsequent storyline! Good night, everyone!
