Chapter 287

At this moment, Li Chen stands on the arena, his posture tall and straight, his temperament outstanding, possessing a calmness and restraint that exceeds young cultivators.

Many older cultivators are sighing, thinking that if they had Li Chen's strength at this age, they would probably be clamoring to fight ten people.

Li Chen is able to refrain from clamoring, which is truly very rare.

They are also increasingly optimistic about Li Chen, each giving him a very high evaluation.

They are even guessing which sect Li Chen is a disciple of.

Many sword cultivators can judge which sect someone comes from by their sword intent as soon as they release their moves.

But the problem is, Li Chen didn't use sword moves, so how could they tell?

Near the arena, a group of challengers looked at Li Chen as if looking at a towering sacred mountain, not daring to challenge Li Chen at all.

The referee called the names of three people in a row, and these three people directly forfeited, not even having the courage to fight Li Chen.

Just kidding, even Gao Qiu couldn't withstand one move, how could they?

Everyone is clear about Gao Qiu's level; he dared to be the first to take the stage, so he must have some ability.

This is the first time the organizers have encountered such a situation, so to avoid a cold atmosphere, an older female sword cultivator walked up.

She spoke: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, I presume many people want to know your strength; I wonder if I might be so bold as to ask for some pointers."

She spoke very politely, not at all like words an elder would say to a junior.

Everyone can understand this, as the cultivation world respects the strong, and being young doesn't mean being weak.

Li Chen's strength is enough to make this older female sword cultivator polite; she doesn't even dare to speak to Li Chen in an elder's tone.

Her appearance also caused an uproar nearby.

Because this older female sword cultivator is an elder of the Jade Sword Immortal Sect's Sword Technique Hall, so her strength can be imagined.

It's not that she is humble, but because she also can't see through Li Chen's strength.

She only saw that Li Chen had a sword on him, so she treated him as a sword cultivator.

This is also correct; Li Chen is just all-around, so he counts as a sword cultivator.

Hearing that someone wanted to challenge him, Li Chen nodded and indicated: "Can do, please enlighten me."

Next is the long-awaited duel.

Everyone wants to know if this sword cultivator named Cheng Li can compare to the elder of the Jade Sword Immortal Sect's Sword Technique Hall.

The surrounding sword cultivators held their breath, and as the referee announced the start of the duel, the Sword Technique Hall elder made the first move.

Sword Qi crisscrossed, energy fluctuations rippled; it was not something Gao Qiu could compare to, the levels were different.

Facing such terrifying sword intent, Li Chen was the same as before, grabbing with one hand and throwing her sword aside.

Whatever terrifying sword Qi or sword intent that could swallow mountains and rivers vanished instantly.

The whole arena was shocked!

The Sword Technique Hall elder stood frozen in place, surprised beyond words.

The nearby audience felt their scalps tingling.

"What is this situation? The Sword Technique Hall elder is not weak!"

"Damn, is Cheng Li this strong? The Sword Technique Hall elder can't even withstand one move?"

"Where does that count as one move? It's not even half a move, a one-sided crushing."

The twenty female cultivators on the Celestial Beauty Ranking flashed light in their eyes, as if looking at the perfect other half in their hearts.

Who wouldn't like Li Chen, who is both handsome and can fight?

Zhen Yanqing really couldn't help it, came to Liu Tang's side again, and said: "Sister, tell me honestly, could this be a God Child from some hidden sect? How did you invite someone of this level?"

Nearby, there were also beautiful female cultivators stirring up trouble: "That's right, how could he be your suitor? He didn't even look at you; you're cheating!"

Another female cultivator echoed: "Damn, I think it's more likely that Liu Tang is that big shot's suitor."

Hearing this, Liu Tang was so angry her chest heaved up and down, then she said angrily: "Get lost, get lost, get lost, is it any of your business!"

Li Chen's performance was indeed stunning, but Liu Tang knows Li Chen's true identity; he is a strong Sage Realm expert, and one of the top existences in the Sage Realm, so isn't this a guaranteed win?

Even if it's just pretending to help her, her heart is still incredibly joyful.

She is thinking, if Li Chen were really her suitor, how good would that be?

Unfortunately, Li Chen is the Mansion Master's Dao companion, and coming to help her this time is likely out of respect for the Mansion Master.

On the arena, the Sword Technique Hall elder was shocked for a while and then conceded and left.

She originally wanted to test Li Chen's depth, but didn't expect she wasn't qualified.

Several others took the stage next, and Li Chen solved them using the same method, his actions light and effortless.

Every time he made a move, the whole arena gasped in succession.

Li Chen's performance has already exceeded everyone's expectations.

He is not only powerful but also graceful, and every move reveals a calm and unhurried temperament.

At the same time, inside the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, Mu Qingrou finished handling the sect's affairs after a busy day.

Actually, there were no major events; the sect has a history of thousands of years and has a complete set of rules and regulations, so as long as the elders follow these rules, there's no mistake.

Even if the sect is huge, it's only that much space.

Unlike the May Tian Ce Dynasty, which is vast and will have some unexpected situations that require Li Chen to handle periodically.

Li Chen is considered a relatively leisurely emperor, as ministers can solve many things.

Throughout the generations of May Tian Ce Dynasty monarchs, some diligent ones would get up at five in the morning to work and stay busy until resting at night.

As for why they were so busy, it was naturally because there were too many secret agents, and there were all kinds of reports every day that he had to handle in time.

Mu Qingrou finished handling things and is now relatively leisurely.

Just at this time, an elder came to report that a very powerful sword cultivator had appeared in Qizhou City and had already defeated more than a dozen older female sword cultivators.

The organizers of the Celestial Beauty Ranking thought about inviting Mu Qingrou to come and test how strong this sword cultivator named Cheng Li is.

If she doesn't come, then I'm afraid it will spread that the level of sword cultivators in the Nine Abyss Sacred Domain is average.

Mu Qingrou is a sword fanatic, so hearing that there is such a powerful sword cultivator, she definitely had to come and have a duel.

When she arrived at the Celestial Beauty Hall and saw Li Chen, who had changed his look, she just felt a bit familiar, didn't think of it for a moment, and excitedly prepared to go up and have a duel.

The surrounding spectators saw this and were so surprised they didn't know what to say.

Who doesn't know this person? Mu Qingrou is a Sage Realm sword cultivator of the current era, known as the Flawless Sword Venerable.

Her biography is circulated among the people, and she is also the idol of countless female cultivators.

Li Chen was stunned when he saw the high-spirited Mu Qingrou.

Is this woman crazy? She doesn't even recognize her own husband?

I'm helping your disciple climb the rankings, and you want to fight me?

To avoid embarrassment, Li Chen glanced at Liu Tang near the arena and told her to hurry up and explain.

Liu Tang was also frightened by Mu Qingrou's appearance just now; she never expected that her master would come to this place.

She ran to Mu Qingrou's side and explained softly; after hearing the whole story, Mu Qingrou's eyes widened.

Ah? This cultivator named 'Cheng Li' is Li Chen?

Li Chen changed his look, and his temperament changed drastically, so she didn't even recognize him at first glance.

Just now Mu Qingrou was also curious why this guy had a familiar feeling; it turned out to be Li Chen.

No wonder more than a dozen older female sword cultivators were no match for him.

I'm not a match either!
