My gorgeous wife Chapter 2496: Qi Zhen
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
“This Black Tide of Nihility, what exactly is it?”
Standing before the massive Black Tide of Nihility pillar, Li Chen’s expression appeared somewhat strange.
“What is the connection between it and the black qi within me?”
“Where did the black qi inside me come from?”
These several questions continued to echo in Li Chen’s mind.
Everything has a cause.
With a cause, there is an effect.
It’s just like when he was a low-level martial artist, the Blood of Heaven within him.
That was planted there by Li Changcun.
But what is this black qi?
If this black qi has been hiding inside him all along, why has he never noticed it?
“Forget it.”
Suddenly, Li Chen seemed to have thought of something and gently shook his head.
Some things, pursuing them too deeply, hold no real meaning.
Even if he knows, so what?
Just follow his heart and do what he wants.
“Did you… just touch the Black Tide of Nihility?”
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from behind Li Chen, uttered by several passing Palm Realm powerhouses.
One of the voices seemed to have crossed paths with Li Chen before.
The speaker was none other than the New Moon Ancient Ancestor whom Li Chen had encountered upon first entering the Dreamfall Battlefield.
“You are… Dust Saint of the Mundane World?”
Upon seeing Li Chen’s face, the New Moon Ancient Ancestor couldn’t help but exclaim with surprise.
“Dust Saint of the Mundane World? Junior Sister New Moon, do you know this person?”
Upon hearing the New Moon Ancestor’s words, a young man beside her spoke.
From his appearance, though young-faced, he too was a Palm Source Realm powerhouse, and the look in his eyes seemed to hold some peculiar interest toward the New Moon Ancient Ancestor.
“He is the Dust Saint of the Mundane World, I once saw him in the Dreamfall Battlefield…” New Moon Ancestor slowly spoke.
“Dreamfall Battlefield? Hearing you say this, Junior Sister New Moon, I’m reminded that others mentioned a few years ago there seemed to be a wager between Dao Saints in the Dreamfall Battlefield.”
Speaking, the young man looked toward Li Chen: “So you’re the Dust Saint of the Mundane World that stirred up a ruckus in the Dreamfall Battlefield?”
Li Chen nodded towards the New Moon Ancient Ancestor, then turned away to continue his contemplation, completely ignoring the fellow.
“I’m asking you! Didn’t you hear?” The young man shouted when Li Chen utterly ignored him.
Speaking, this Dao Saint youth directly unleashed a Light of Divine Abilities toward Li Chen.
Evidently, he intended to show off in front of the New Moon Ancient Ancestor, and also prove to Li Chen that he was not someone to toy with.
After all, how could a Dust Saint from a tiny corner compare with him?
“Squeak squeak—”
The Light of Divine Abilities shot towards Li Chen, but Li Chen remained completely unresponsive.
Seeing this, the New Moon Ancestor couldn’t help but cry out in surprise: “Dust Saint…”
But she didn’t finish her words, as the red-robed youth beside Li Chen, looking like a Dao Child Disciple, stretched out a finger at the crucial moment.
This finger, although its speed seemed slow, unerringly struck the Light of Divine Abilities.
“Crunch!”
The Light of Divine Abilities, emanating from a Palm Source Realm powerhouse, was effortlessly dispelled by the seemingly ordinary red-robed youth with a single finger.
“Hmm?” The young man frowned slightly, then relaxed: “Not bad.”
He understood that to a true Palm Source Realm powerhouse, his single move might not pose a problem, and if the opponent was genuinely such a powerhouse, they could certainly defeat his attack.
But what he did not anticipate was that Li Chen from beginning to end had not moved, and instead the inconspicuous red-robed youth had dispelled his Light of Divine Abilities.
The New Moon Ancestor also hadn’t anticipated this and quickly spoke: “Brother Dust Saint, this is Brother Qi Zhen, Brother Qi Zhen is a disciple of Lord Tian Que, not from Jianmu Universe, he just arrived here and does not recognize Brother Dust Saint, please do not mind…”
Apart from New Moon and Qi Zhen, several others beside them were also surprised.
They were native powerhouses of Jianmu Universe and knew of the events in Dreamfall Battlefield years ago.
However, they only knew that the Dust Saint of the Mundane World was very powerful, capable of battling to a draw with the late-stage Palm Source Realm Mie Xing Dao Saint, but they had not expected that even a youth who seemed like a Dao Boy beside him would be so formidable, able to dissipate a Palm Source Realm powerhouse’s Light of Divine Abilities with a single finger.
At this moment, Li Chen seemed to come back to his senses, his gaze slowly landing on Qi Zhen.
And being stared at by him, Qi Zhen inexplicably felt a chilling sensation.
“Is this the demeanor of a disciple of an Origin Realm Powerhouse? It seems even a true Origin Realm Powerhouse is nothing extraordinary.” Li Chen grinned.
“Are you saying I’m weak?!” Qi Zhen’s face suddenly turned dark upon hearing this: “Are you implying you’re insulting my sect?”
“Insult?” Li Chen lightly shook his head: “I’m simply stating a factual viewpoint. Besides…”
Li Chen sized up Qi Zhen: “You are indeed quite weak.”
“Good!!” Qi Zhen laughed loudly: “I’ve followed my master for many years, this is the first time I’ve heard someone call me weak! So Dust Saint, can you point out my deficiencies?”
Li Chen scratched his head, curiously: “Are you out of your mind? You clearly bear ill intent towards me yet want me to point them out?”
“You!” Qi Zhen had said the words casually, not expecting Li Chen would actually follow through on the topic.
His face turned red, and the next moment Qi Zhen suddenly made a move: “I’m sorry for the offense!”
Blazing light instantly illuminated the sky, Qi Zhen transformed into a dazzling Lieyang, divine abilities condensed into a punch, carrying destructive force, aimed at Li Chen.
Stopping the Red Moon beside him, Li Chen chuckled and shook his head: “Relax, he won’t be able to harm me.”
Lieyang crashed toward Li Chen, the terrifying shockwave erupted centered on him.
In the distance, a group of powerhouses couldn’t help but clench their fists, wanting to know how it would turn out.
Red Moon waved his hand to clear the surrounding dust.
“Master, you said he can’t hurt you.” Red Moon pointed at Li Chen’s feet and said.
Li Chen looked down and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
He had been pushed about two steps.
And at this point, Qi Zhen stood directly in front of Li Chen in a punching stance, with his punch hitting Li Chen’s chest.
Yet, to his disbelief, this white-haired youth seemed utterly unaffected by his punch.
He was a Dao Saint!
Moreover, he had not held back!
Even if the opponent’s cultivation level was higher, yet clearly he hadn’t used any particular means, how could he have shown no reaction at all?
At this moment, Li Chen suddenly lifted a leg and kicked Qi Zhen to the ground.
“Rushing in to deliver an old punch, you call this a divine skill?!”
“Is your divine skill called the Old Man Pushes Cart?”
