Chapter 400: Suppressing the Black Mountain Old Devil With Strength

Translator: jinzeffect

“5th level of Reincarnation Realm?” Li Fuchen frowned.

With Li Fuchen’s current strength, there was no problem for him to deal with a regular 5th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. It was even enough for him to kill them. But the Black Mountain Old Devil cultivated an evil dao cultivation technique and might possess earth class martial arts too. The Black Mountain Old Devil’s strength might not be at the same as a regular 5th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.

“Let’s go!”

It didn’t matter if the Black Mountain Old Devil cultivated any evil dao technique. Li Fuchen wasn’t going to sit by and do nothing. Furthermore, he had yet to use his trump cards.

On the same day, Li Fuchen and Luo Yan left the South Forest Martial Institution and made haste for Rushing Current City.

This time, the duo were traveling on class 4 Unicorn Wildebeests.

Class 4 Unicorn Wildebeests were very valuable but weren’t sold in public. Only the South Forest Martial Institution bred them and Li Fuchen had used his status as the dean’s in-room cadet to purchase two.

Class 4 Unicorn Wildebeests were several times faster than class 3 Unicorn Wildebeests. In just a few days, they had arrived at the Luo Clan.

The Luo Clan’s defense array was activated and it looked like a transparent bowl that was covering the Luo Clan.

Outside of the defense array, there were three Reincarnation Realm martial artists constantly attacking the array.

The leader of the trio was a black-clothed elder and he was accompanied by a purple-clothed middle-aged man and a purple-clothed elder.

The purple-clothed man was just at the 1st level of Reincarnation Realm, while the purple-clothed elder was at the 4th level of Reincarnation Realm. The one with the highest cultivation was the black-clothed elder and he was at the 5th level of Reincarnation Realm.

In terms of qi presence, the black-clothed elder was much stronger than regular 5th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists. When the black qi burst forth from his body, he was like a pitch-black storm that was very imposing.

Luo Yan spoke while her heart palpitated, “That black-clothed elder should be the Black Mountain Old Devil. That purple-clothed middle-aged man is the Zhang Clan Head, Zhang Yun. That purple-clothed elder is the Zhang Clan’s Patriarch Zhang Kun.”

Li Fuchen nodded and asked, “The Rushing Current City has the three major clans. The Su Clan is the city lord clan, why are they not handling this matter?”

Luo Yan knitted her brows and said, “The Su Clan is high and mighty. They basically wouldn’t bother about the dispute between the two major clans. It didn’t matter which side had won as it would still beneficial for the Su Clan.”

“That is true.”

No one dared to touch the Su Clan as they were the city lord clan. Furthermore, when the Zhang Clan and the Luo Clan were in a dispute, one of the clans would surely suffer great losses and might even fall. By then, it didn’t matter which clan had won as it was impossible for the winning clan to not offer any benefits to the Su Clan. After all, the city lord clan had the backing of the Nanlin Marquis Residence and even the Violet Flower Kingdom. If they were to infuriate the city lord clan, they wouldn’t be able to continue existing in the Rushing Current City.

“When I exchange moves with them, take the opportunity and enter the array.” Li Fuchen said.

“What? You are going to clash head-on with them?” Luo Yan’s eyes were wide opened.

She was hoping that Li Fuchen could deter the Black Mountain Old Devil with his status as the dean’s in-room cadet. She didn’t invite him to kill the Black Mountain Old Devil.

The Black Mountain Old Devil was extremely powerful. Her grandfather was also at 5th level Reincarnation Realm, he had even cultivated an earth class low-tier sword art, but was still severely injured by the Black Mountain Old Devil in a single move and had nearly perished. How was it possible for Li Fuchen to confront them?

“Just believe me.”

Li Fuchen didn’t know if his status as the dean’s in-room cadet was able to deter the Black Mountain Old Devil. Hence, before he used his status, he wanted to clash with his strength first. He had plenty of trump cards and to be honest, he wasn’t fearful of the Black Mountain Old Devil at all.

“Please be careful.” Seeing how confident Li Fuchen was, Luo Yan had no choice but to pray for him with clenched teeth.

“Yar.” Li Fuchen steered the Unicorn Wildebeest straight at Luo Clan while Luo Yan followed behind closely.

“Who are those people?”

Be it the Black Mountain Old Devil’s group or the Luo Clan, they couldn’t help but look over at this side.

“It is Yan’er and Young Hero Li.” Luo Zhan was astonished and the elder beside Luo Zhan also had a change in expression.

“This isn’t good. Why is Young Hero Li so reckless? Why didn’t they bring more people?’ Luo Zhan had sent someone to inform Luo Yan in hopes of her to invite some inner institute cadets to come over. No matter how formidable Li Fuchen was, he would only be able to fight against a 2nd or 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artist. How was it possible for Li Fuchen to clash with the Black Mountain Old Devil?

It was already too late as he spoke as Li Fuchen and Luo Yan were already coming closer to the Luo Clan.

“Courting death.” The Black Mountain Old Devil turned around and executed a palm strike at Li Fuchen and Luo Yan.

Before the palm force arrived, the fearsome and boundless palm pressure had arrived first. In a split second, the ground cracked open, the trees were turned into dust. Even regular low-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists wouldn’t be able to resist the Black Mountain Old Devil’s palm pressure.

“Eight Suns Soaring.”

When facing the Black Mountain Old Devil’s palm strike, Li Fuchen soared into the air. He activated his blazing fire power and executed twin palm strikes.

His palm strike was obviously the Ardent Sun Divine Palm.

With the blazing fire bone frame, Li Fuchen’s comprehension speed of the Ardent Sun Divine Palm was much faster. In just a little more than a month, he had reached the completion stage of the Ardent Sun Divine Palm.

Only after reaching the completion stage, Li Fuchen was able to execute the finishing move, Eight Suns Soaring.

In an instant, eight dazzling spheres of light burst forth and clashed with the Black Mountain Old Devil’s palm force.

Rumble!

There was giant sound and Li Fuchen flew back to the Unicorn Wildebeest, while the Black Mountain Old Devil swayed a little.

“Mm!?” The Black Mountain Old Devil revealed a rather surprised expression.

He might have launched a casual palm strike earlier, but it still contained 20% to 30% of his strength. However, Li Fuchen had blocked it so easily.

It seems like this child’s strength isn’t as simple as it looks.

“Receive another fist from me.”

The Black Mountain Old Devil gathered the evil dao qi and sent a fist at Li Fuchen.

Wuu Wuu Wuu…

The violent fist force was like a giant beast that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws while suppressing Li Fuchen.

The Black Mountain Old Devil had utilized 80% of his strength for this fist.

Li Fuchen responded by soaring into the sky again while drawing his blood-red artifact sword.

“Go!”

With a swing of the sword, hundreds of sword lights were shot out.

Boom Bang!

The Black Mountain Old Devil’s fist force might be valiant, but after getting shot by hundreds of sword lights, it was eliminated.

Of course, Li Fuchen had gone all-out for this sword attack.

This sword was the earth class low-tier, Scarlet Blood Sword that he purchased for 2000 low-grade spirit stones.

It was power was much superior to the Joint-Heaven Sword that had yet to be unsealed.

The sword art was the Green Sun Sword Intent that was close to an earth class high-tier sword art.

He was using the 23rd rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique.

Li Fuchen had even utilized the core blazing fire power.

His current strength was sufficient to severely injure a regular 5th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist, perhaps even enough to kill one.

But the Black Mountain Old Devil’s strength wasn’t normal and Li Fuchen reckoned that his opponent’s strength was comparable to the regular 7th level of Reincarnation Realm, maybe even stronger.

The so-called regular Reincarnation Realm martial artists were those that didn’t cultivate any earth class cultivation techniques or martial arts.

If the Black Mountain Old Devil had an earth class cultivation technique or martial art, he would be able to exceed two levels easily.

If he had both the earth class cultivation technique and martial art, he wouldn’t just be exceeding by two levels, he would be able to exceed three or four levels with ease.

There were plenty of Reincarnation Realm martial artists on the East Unicorn Continent and many of them were high-leveled, but why was the Evil King able to rule supreme over the East Unicorn Continent and become the no.1 expert? It was because he possessed an earth class martial art and also an earth class cultivation technique. Even if the elite experts from the Hundred Sects were to work together, they would still be suppressed by the Evil King.

The Evil King alone was enough to awe the entire East Unicorn Continent and he was unparalleled.

“This is simply ridiculous.”

Li Fuchen was still able to block the fist attack with 80% of his strength. The Black Mountain Old Devil wasn’t able to reserve himself and roared with anger. He then circulated the Devil Wind Divine Technique to the limits.

The Devil Wind Divine Technique was an earth class low-tier evil dao technique that he obtained ten years ago. During the ten years, he had cultivated it to the highest 24th rank. As the Devil Wind Intent burst forth, the Black Mountain Old Devil launched a fist at Li Fuchen with full strength.

This fist had covered the entire place with the severe and demonic wind. A boundless and pitch-black fist force blasted over.

The fist force was rotating like a millstone and it could shatter and destroy everything.

But Li Fuchen only had the strength he had revealed, this fist was definitely going to crush him into a mist of blood.

“It seems I have to expose my trump card.”

This Black Mountain Old Devil obviously cultivated an earth class low-tier evil dao cultivation technique and had cultivated it to the highest rank.

As such, Li Fuchen’s cultivation technique’s advantage was non-existent. After all, the 23rd rank of the Ardent Sun Divine Technique was equivalent to the highest rank of the earth class low-tier cultivation technique.

Li Fuchen had plenty of trump cards. He had the 6-star Bronze Sword Essence, he had the Nine Revolution Purple Qi Divine Technique pattern, he had the Clear Sky Sword Art martial pattern too.

But Li Fuchen didn’t intend to use the 6-star Bronze Sword Essence.

A 6-star secret technique was something that not every Battle Spirit Realm master would possess. If he exposed it, who knew what would happen?

Furthermore, the Bronze Sword Essence wasn’t an ordinary 6-star secret technique. It could stack with other secret techniques to burst out with even more prowess. In certain factors, it was even greater than some 7-star secret techniques.

On Li Fuchen’s back, the Nine Revolution Purple Qi Divine Technique pattern had lit up. Li Fuchen’s ardent sun qi was transmuted into the stronger nine revolution purple qi.

Li Fuchen guessed that the Nine Revolution Purple Qi Divine Technique was at least an earth class high-tier technique, it might even be an earth class peak-tier technique. The ardent sun qi was already extremely powerful, after transmuting into the nine revolution purple qi, Li Fuchen could even feel the void shaking. A boundless and pure vibration extended out from Li Fuchen’s body, turning the entire void purple in color. Layer by layer, deeper and deeper.

“It seems like the Ardent Sun Divine Palm is enough.”

Li Fuchen’s eyes burst out with purple divine radiance as he executed his palm strike.

Among the sparks, eight bundles of dazzling purple radiance blasted out and clashed against the millstone-like fist force.

Bang Bang Bang…

The millstone-like fist force was extremely frightful, but Li Fuchen’s Ardent Sun Divine Palm was even more dreadful. When the two forces clashed, the millstone fist force instantly crumbled while Li Fuchen’s Ardent Sun Divine Palm was dispersed by half. Two other bundles of purple radiance blasted at the Black Mountain Old Devil.

“How is it possible?”

The Black Mountain Old Devil was in disbelief. He used his fist to destroy the purple radiance while his body involuntarily took over a dozen steps back. Every step he took would break the surface of the ground.

“Receive a sword from me too.”

After repelling the Black Mountain Old Devil with a single palm strike, Li Fuchen had a boost of confidence. He brandished his Scarlet Blood Sword and shot out hundreds of purple sword lights.

Ahhh!

The Black Mountain Old Devil yelled out while frenziedly executing fist strikes to shatter the sword lights.

But the sword lights were just too concentrated and the Black Mountain Old Devil had to constantly retreat.

Pfff!

One of the sword lights skimmed across the Black Mountain Old Devil’s shoulder, instantly slicing off a piece of flesh and leaving behind a charred mark.

“The Black Mountain Old Devil isn’t a match?”

Zhang Yun and Zhang Kun were stunned. The entire Luo Clan was also stunned. Luo Yan who was riding the Unicorn Wildebeest was even more stunned.

This was one of the Black Mountain’s great devils, the Black Mountain Old Devil. His strength was comparable to the 7th level of Reincarnation Realm and he actually wasn’t a match for Li Fuchen?

Moreover, Li Fuchen was only at the peak-level of Heaven Dipper Realm.
