Chapter 528: Meeting the Chen Siblings again!
"What are you putting on an act for?"
Lan Yichen sneered and said, "If you truly have the ability, then make your move. If all you can do is wag your tongue, then it is no wonder your Flying Feather Stronghold is one of the weakest among the Seventeen Cloudchain Strongholds."
"Presumptuous!"
Lan Yichen’s words clearly struck the bearded man’s sore spot. He roared furiously and charged forward while shouting, "Kill them for me!"
Boom!
As his voice fell, the remaining cultivators also attacked with angry shouts. In an instant, four 1st level Earthly Core Realm experts, including the bearded man, along with nine Half-Step Earthly Core Realm cultivators, all charged toward Lan Yichen.
The remaining 1st level Earthly Core Realm cultivator and three Half-Step Earthly Core Realm cultivators revealed sinister grins and rushed toward Li Yun.
On the surface, Li Yun was only a cultivator at the 4th level of Mortal Core Realm. For the other side to send such a force against him, they could already be considered as having taken him seriously.
Unfortunately, they had no idea how powerful Li Yun’s true strength was.
Boom!
Li Yun suddenly threw a punch with a cold smile on his face.
This was no ordinary punch.
It was the Supreme Hegemony Fist.
Bang!
The moment his fist collided with them, their bodies were smashed into a bloody mist.
With only one punch, the 1st level Earthly Core Realm cultivator and the three Half-Step Earthly Core Realm cultivators were all killed instantly.
"What?"
"Not good! We misjudged him. Run, hurry and run!"
The sight before them caused the expressions of the bearded man and the others to change abruptly. Their hearts churned like stormy waves, and only now did they realize that the seemingly unremarkable Li Yun was actually the most terrifying one among the two.
After realizing this, the bearded man and the others no longer dared to remain there. They immediately turned around and tried to flee.
Unfortunately, by the time they thought of escaping, it was already too late.
"Since you are already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Li Yun spoke indifferently and swung his sword. An incomparably beautiful Sword Light burst forth, then split into more than a dozen strands in midair. Each strand of Sword Light shot forward with astonishing speed, flying toward a different enemy.
Chii! Chii! Chii!
In the blink of an eye, all the remaining bandits, including the bearded man, were pierced through by the Sword Light.
"Li Yun, you acted too quickly."
Seeing this, Lan Yichen could not help giving a bitter smile. "At least leave one for me. I finally waited for a big fish, yet I did not even get a single battle merit point. What a pity."
While Lan Yichen was smiling bitterly, a sudden sound of air being torn apart rang out, and another group of people arrived in the valley.
"Eh?"
In the next moment, a voice filled with obvious surprise rang out. "Five Earthly Core Realm cultivators and more than a dozen Half-Step Earthly Core Realm cultivators. Lan Yichen, when did your strength reach such a level?"
"Brother, your question is rather funny. Obviously, these Earthly Core Realm cultivators must have been heavily injured beforehand, which is why this trash Lan Yichen was able to pick up easy kills."
Another disdainful voice rang out. Immediately afterward, the figures of Chen Haoyan and Chen Jiaolan appeared before Li Yun and Lan Yichen.
"You two again?"
Seeing the Chen siblings appear, Lan Yichen’s expression shifted, and his face instantly turned sour.
This pair of siblings was truly like a lingering ghost. No matter where he went, they somehow managed to appear.
"What is wrong with it being us?"
Chen Jiaolan curled her lip and said disdainfully, "Lan Yichen, you trash. Being able to see the two of us so often is a blessing you have accumulated over several lifetimes. Forget it, I cannot be bothered to waste words on you. Hand over the battle merit points you just earned."
"What did you say?"
Lan Yichen’s expression changed drastically. "Hand over my battle merit points to you? Are you joking?"
"Joking? I think you are the one joking."
Chen Jiaolan’s face turned cold as she sneered. "For trash like you to kill these people, you must have picked up someone else’s scraps. Since that is the case, what is wrong with me picking up your scraps? Enough nonsense. Hand over the battle merit points quickly, or do not blame me for being impolite."
"That is right."
Chen Haoyan suddenly took a step forward and said proudly, "Lan Yichen, I will give you three seconds. If you do not obediently hand over the battle merit points after three seconds, then I will have to take them by force."
"Do you two not think you are going too far?"
At that moment, Li Yun finally spoke. His expression was indifferent, and his voice remained very calm.
"What kind of thing are you? Is this a place where you are qualified to speak?"
Chen Jiaolan glared at Li Yun and sneered. "A piece of trash at the 4th level of Mortal Core Realm actually dares to open his mouth here. Do you think that just because you are standing beside a coward like Lan Yichen, you are qualified to speak in front of me? Shut your mouth."
Li Yun’s face turned cold.
The Chen siblings truly carried arrogance and domineering behavior to the extreme. This was especially true of Chen Jiaolan, whose arrogance had already reached the point where she looked down on everyone around her.
If he did not teach these two arrogant fools a lesson, they might truly think they could climb into the heavens.
Boom!
Just as Li Yun was preparing to make a move, a powerful aura suddenly erupted in the distance. Like a prehistoric beast charging recklessly through the mountains, that aura rushed toward them and appeared before Li Yun and the others in an instant.
The owner of this powerful aura was a burly bald man. His cultivation had actually reached the 4th level of Earthly Core Realm.
It was difficult to say whether Li Yun and the others were lucky or unlucky. Among the only ten remaining cultivators at the 4th and 5th levels of Earthly Core Realm in the Seventeen Cloudchain Strongholds, they had actually encountered one so quickly.
The bald man’s gaze immediately landed on the Chen siblings, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Spirit Ranking cultivators?"
To participate in the second trial of the Golden Dragon Guard, one needed at least early-stage Earthly Core Realm combat strength. Since the Chen siblings were only at the Half-Step Earthly Core Realm, there was clearly only one possibility. They were cultivators listed on the Spirit Ranking.
