Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

Li Ru’s so-called offer to let Jiang Chen rescue Xiaoyou and the others was nothing more than a blatant trap.

On his way to rescue Xiaoyou and the others, Jiang Chen had to face the siege of four experts at the Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage. And throughout the entire process, he was not allowed to fight back.

This was tantamount to letting Jiang Chen be a living punching bag for four Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage experts!

Never mind that Jiang Chen’s cultivation was only at the Seventh Stage of the Human King Realm...

Even if his cultivation had reached the Human Emperor Realm, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the assault of four Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage experts without fighting back!

”Li Ru, you’ve gone too far!” Jiang Chen glared at Li Ru and roared.

Li Ru laughed loudly. ”Gone too far? So what if I have? What can you do about it?”

”You’re courting death!”

Jiang Chen flew into a rage.

He threw a punch.

A black light immediately condensed on his fist, blasting forward like a piece of the night sky.

The Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage expert standing before Jiang Chen paused. He slashed through the air with his Battle Blade, unleashing a brilliant blade light that, like a crescent moon, viciously shattered the black fist shadow.

Li Ru’s expression changed slightly, and he sneered, ”Jiang Chen, you fought back!”

The moment his voice fell, Li Ru pointed a finger.

SWISH!

A black pillar of light shot out and plunged into the Ice Lake.

BOOM!

A large hole blasted open in the Ice Lake. Chunks of floating ice shattered, and the dense shapes of Sword-toothed Fish could be vaguely seen.

They were now even closer to Xiaoyou and the others.

Li Ru crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at Jiang Chen. ”Jiang Chen, don’t forget the rules of the game. No fighting back!” Li Ru glanced at the four Human Emperor Realm experts and said in a low voice, ”You four, attack him without reservation! I’m sure Jiang Chen wouldn’t joke around with his little sister’s life. Right, Jiang Chen?”

As he spoke, a faint black light of True Essence gathered on Li Ru’s fingertip.

If Jiang Chen dared to fight back again, he would strike without hesitation, shattering the ice on the Ice Lake.

The entire Ice Lake wasn’t that large; it definitely couldn’t withstand such a relentless bombardment from Li Ru!

Jiang Chen glanced at Xiaoyou and Little Black lying in the center of the Ice Lake and was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of despair and powerlessness. He was so close to them, yet he had no way to save them.

Jiang Chen clenched his jaw. ”Li Ru, if I don’t kill you, then I, Jiang Chen, am not worthy of being called a man!”

Just then, the attacks from the four Human Emperor Realm experts were upon him.

The four attacked from four different directions, the Combat Weapons in their hands pulsing with sharp auras. Blades, spears, swords, and halberds—dazzling lights shot toward Jiang Chen simultaneously. They transformed into four storms, shaking the void as tyrannical attacks appeared before, behind, and on either side of him in an instant.

Faced with the sudden assault, Jiang Chen’s expression changed. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the Spirit-Slaying Sword, about to activate a Sword Technique.

Li Ru’s mocking cackle suddenly rang in his ears. ”Jiang Chen, don’t forget the rules of the game!”

”You...”

Jiang Chen faltered.

In that momentary lapse, the attacks of the four Human Emperor Realm experts landed on him one after another.

”WAH...”

Jiang Chen’s face flushed red as he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

The battle armor on his body was blasted apart. Even though his Divine Demon Tyrant Body had reached the Fifth Stage Realm, making it comparable to a Saint-tier Profound Weapon, he still suffered injuries under the full-power attacks of Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage experts.

He raised a hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

A grim look appeared in Jiang Chen’s eyes. ’I can’t fight back, so I can only rely on my speed to dodge while getting closer to the Ice Lake.’

Pushing the Golden-winged Roc Body Technique to its limit, Jiang Chen’s figure transformed into a streak of Flowing Light. With a few evasive maneuvers, he dodged the attacks of the four Human Emperor Realm experts. Just as he was about to enter the vicinity of the Ice Lake, the space before him suddenly trembled, and Li Ru’s figure appeared in his path.

”Dark Sky Curtain!”

Li Ru snorted coldly, his palms striking the air repeatedly to form a black curtain of light.

It blocked Jiang Chen’s path.

”Jiang Chen, I never gave you permission to pass!” Li Ru laughed heartily. With a flick of his finger, he shattered another section of ice. The ice collapsed, and the Sword-toothed Fish within swam about, leaping high out of the water. Their blood-red eyes were all fixed on Xiaoyou and the others in the center of the Ice Lake.

The blood-red eyes of these Sword-toothed Fish were filled with greed and bloodlust.

”Damn it!”

Jiang Chen was frantic. He had no time to think before the four Human Emperor Realm experts were upon him again.

With no other choice, he could only continuously use the Golden-winged Roc Body Technique to dodge. Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Chen glanced toward the Ice Lake. To stop him from reaching it, Li Ru was constantly guarding that direction.

”Mountain Collapse and Earth Split!”

”Seven Kills Fist!”

”Heaven-Destroying Sword!”

”June Snow...”

The attacks from the four Human Emperor Realm experts came one after another, like successive waves in a storm, endlessly surging forward.

Jiang Chen’s Profound Technique circulated within him, and he subconsciously prepared to launch an attack.

A black light pulsed on Li Ru’s fingertip, and his smug voice rang in Jiang Chen’s ear. ”Jiang Chen, are you preparing to break the rules of the game?”

”Damn it.”

Jiang Chen spat on the ground, forced to relax his grip on the Spirit-Slaying Sword. With a flash, his body flickered, dodging the four terrifying attacks.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The four attacks flew past Jiang Chen and landed behind him.

Three hundred-zhang-tall mountains were blasted directly into dust, leveled to the ground. The final attack caused the earth to tremble, brutally tearing open a massive fissure.

’This is only possible because we’re in the Void Realm. If this battle were taking place in the Imperial Capital, nearly half the city would have been destroyed.’

’No wonder they chose to lure me into the Void Realm. If this battle were in the Imperial Capital, I wouldn’t even need to act—the wrath of the Luotian Dynasty alone would be enough to have them killed hundreds of times over.’

Jiang Chen was secretly alarmed. The power of a full-force attack from a Human Emperor Realm Fifth Stage expert was truly terrifying.

’Just dodging like this isn’t a solution. The time it takes for an incense stick to burn will pass quickly. When it does, Li Ru will surely become even more unreasonable. I can’t let them lead me by the nose forever; I have to fight back. But I can’t attack them directly for now. What should I do?’ Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed. Suddenly, he saw two attacks rushing toward him, one after the other.

His figure flashed, and he dodged out of the way.

BOOM—

The two attacks collided and exploded, sending a terrifying wave of energy spreading in all directions.

At the same time, the angry curses of two Human Emperor Realm experts rang out. ”Fuck! Be careful! Your blade almost hit me!”

”Hm?”

Jiang Chen froze. A flash of Spiritual Light sparked in his mind. The corner of his mouth lifted as he looked at Li Ru. ’I know what to do now.’ ”Li Ru, you said I couldn’t fight back, right? Well, I have a way to make you regret this!”
