Chapter 1619 - 1616: Slaying Wu Dingguo!
Seeing the sudden burst of Fierce True Essence from Wu Dingguo, Li Chen’s gaze slightly narrowed.
Is he attempting a forced breakthrough?
Li Chen did not seize the opportunity to interfere with Wu Dingguo’s forced breakthrough but stood aside, quietly observing.
Wu Dingguo’s foundation was unstable. Even with a forced breakthrough to the ranks of a Mahayana Divine Monarch, he could not form a high-grade foundation; at most, it would be mediocre, hardly worth worrying about.
Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to hone his cultivation techniques.
After all, experimental subjects at Wu Dingguo’s level were truly rare.
Such precious resources must not be wasted for nothing.
Wu Dingguo was initially worried that Li Chen would suddenly strike while he was forcefully breaking through.
However, when he noticed Li Chen only standing aside watching and showing no signs of attacking, he finally relaxed.
After completing the breakthrough, he couldn’t help but laugh maniacally up at the sky.
"Li Chen, you are too arrogant. Today, I shall make you pay for your arrogance!"
After a bout of cold laughter, Wu Dingguo suddenly grabbed a long spear.
The spear shone brilliantly, as if surrounded by lightning. Faintly, a dragon’s roar could be heard.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Li Chen’s mouth lifted into a contemptuous sneer.
"Haha, so what if you’ve entered the Mahayana Realm? I’ll still kill you as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs!"
"Arrogant brat, prepare to die!"
Wu Dingguo flew into a rage, grinding his teeth in hate.
Soon after, he shot towards Li Chen like a bolt.
The void in front of him was instantly torn apart, emitting a piercing sonic boom.
Faced with Wu Dingguo’s extremely domineering lightning strike, Li Chen still showed no sign of dodging.
He floated in the void, quietly watching his opponent.
The spear tip, glowing with ten thousand cold rays, rapidly enlarged in Li Chen’s pupils, while its speed seemed to slow down significantly.
Li Chen wasn’t being reckless; he was using the Insight Divine Power to spot Wu Dingguo’s vulnerabilities.
Quickly, he found a flaw.
Though the flaw was extremely subtle, it would be difficult for anyone else to catch it.
Even if someone could detect it, they wouldn’t be able to exploit it to launch an effective attack on Wu Dingguo.
However, it was different for Li Chen.
Not only could he exploit this flaw to counterattack, but he could also magnify it a thousandfold, creating a lethal vulnerability.
Upon realizing this, the corners of Li Chen’s mouth curled into an almost imperceptible sinister smile.
It was as if a hunter watched a gift sprinting into a trap at full speed.
Just as Wu Dingguo’s spear was about to pierce through Li Chen’s heart and Life Gate.
Li Chen suddenly moved, opening his five fingers to grasp at the spear gleaming with supremacy.
Witnessing this incredible scene, Wu Dingguo was taken aback.
He couldn’t believe that Li Chen dared to meet his Divine Weapon with his flesh and blood.
It was either insanity or utter arrogance.
Clearly, someone capable of destroying the Great Wu Dynasty, like Li Chen, wasn’t insane.
It could only be the latter.
At that moment, Wu Dingguo felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.
He was furious, flames of anger burning in his eyes.
"Li Chen, you are too audacious!"
After a bout of shouting, Wu Dingguo suddenly intensified his attack, hoping to tear Li Chen apart with this spear.
However, what happened next defied all expectations.
Even with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe it.
His spear did indeed penetrate through Li Chen’s body.
But it did no harm!
It was as if they were in different dimensions; his spear only pierced a shadow of Li Chen.
And indeed, that was the case!
Li Chen and Wu Dingguo seemed to be in the same space.
In fact, Li Chen had long employed the ’Yu’ law, leaping into another space.
The figure before them was just an image projected from another space into this one.
It’s the same principle as a mirage!
While Wu Dingguo was in shock, full of disbelief, Li Chen’s figure suddenly reappeared above his head.
Then, a golden light seal, like a Tathagata Divine Palm, descended from the sky, aiming straight at Wu Dingguo’s top of the skull and Life Gate.
Wu Dingguo couldn’t dodge in time, and the golden light seal suppressed him.
He fell to the ground in a sorry state, creating a bottomless pit in the hard earth.
Li Chen grinned at him, looking harmless.
Then, he reached into the void, shouting, "Spear, come!"
Hearing Li Chen’s summon, the Chi Dragon Divine Spear, like a Jiao Long emerging from the sea, swirled in the void and landed perfectly into Li Chen’s palm.
With Chi Dragon Divine Spear in hand, Li Chen charged towards Wu Dingguo in the simplest, most forceful way.
Terrified, Wu Dingguo hastily clasped his hands, forming seals and constructing over a dozen defensive light screens around him, hoping to fend off Li Chen’s attack.
"Boom!"
A resonant collision sound echoed in the sky.
In just one encounter, Wu Dingguo’s dozen defenses crumbled instantly.
The unstoppable Chi Dragon Divine Spear continued to thrust toward him, undeterred by his defenses.
The distance between them was negligible!
Wu Dingguo couldn’t dodge in time and was pierced through by Li Chen’s spear.
His eyes widened, pupils dilating, and a sweetness flooded his throat as he spurted a mouthful of blood.
Looking at the dying Wu Dingguo, Li Chen said firmly, "I told you, even as a true Mahayana Divine Monarch, killing you is still as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs."
As he finished speaking, Li Chen raised his arm violently, like a Roc Spread Wings, tearing Wu Dingguo’s body apart, turning it into a rain of blood descending upon the Human World.
As for Wu Dingguo’s Divine Soul trying to escape, Li Chen captured it back, sending it as a snack to his darling daughter for strangulation.
Wu Dingguo’s blood and flesh fell onto his Huben Iron Cavalry.
Instantly, these elite soldiers looked terrified, as if they’ve seen a ghost.
Their formation was already unstable, and now, leaderless, they no longer wished to fight, fleeing like frightened beasts.
Seeing this, Li Chen ordered the eighty thousand Puppet Heavenly Soldiers to pursue and kill them.
To prevent any from escaping, he also summoned the Jiao Long, Taotie, and Red Tiger, these three fierce beasts, letting them charge into the routed army, slaughtering in all directions.
When the eastern sky brightened once more, the massacre that lasted an entire night came to an end.
Under the sunlight, corpses were spread across the fields, rivers of blood flowing—a true purgatory!
