Chapter 102 Genius Annihilated in One Move
Chapter 102 Genius Annihilated in One Move
Compared to the first three, Li Lan's reputation, achievements, and background were all considered inferior by many.
Therefore, almost everyone in the room was questioning it!
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zhu, don't you think we need to reconsider the choice of this fourth person?"
A young man spoke up directly. He was from the Qin family and his name was Qin Yuanshan. He was Qin Hongyun's cousin.
Originally, the Qin family members all believed that the fourth person must be Qin Hongyun.
Because the Qin family and the Zhu family have always been on good terms, and the two families even have a marriage agreement!
The Zhu family's holy son and the Qin family's only daughter, Qin Hongyun, will be married.
If Zhu Jiuhua has any ambition to compete for the title of Holy Son, he should befriend the Qin family and win Qin Hongyun's favor.
Although Qin Hongyun didn't say anything, she was clearly displeased.
Zhu Jiuhua smiled and said, "There's no need to consider it anymore, my mind is made up."
He turned to Li Lan: "What does Brother Tu think?"
Li Lan smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist, how could I refuse such kindness? Thank you very much."
accepted.
"Wait a minute—"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and it was Li Hao who spoke!
He said calmly, "If I heard correctly, what Brother Zhu Jiuhua just said refers to these four people as the strongest people in the world."
"Before that, shouldn't we let Tu Tianlong prove that he possesses the strength of the strongest person in the world?"
The implication is... a challenge!
Three days ago, he was forced to a draw by Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and the strange phenomenon was broken by Li Lan... He has been holding his breath ever since.
Now, it's time to settle old scores and new grudges.
Zhu Jiuhua coldly said, "Brother Li Hao, you mean that only by defeating you can one be considered qualified, is that right?"
Li Hao coldly said, "He doesn't need to beat me. As long as he can defeat any of my Li family members, I won't say another word!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jue stood up beside him!
Li Jue was injured by the pain three days ago, but has now recovered.
He stepped forward, coldly staring at Li Lan, and said, "Tu Tianlong, do you dare to fight?!"
Everyone looked at Li Lan.
Li Lan was not surprised by this. He said calmly, "Today, the host and guests have a harmonious atmosphere. If someone were to die, I, Tu, would feel I would be letting down the Zhu family..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into a rage!
Does Li Lan mean that he can be killed easily?
"You're asking for it—"
He raised his hand, and with a flash of inspiration, he slashed directly at Li Lan. This time, he did not use the Heavenly Dragon Technique, but instead used other true techniques passed down from the Li family.
The light arrived swiftly and fiercely, carrying murderous intent, and a loud explosion was triggered in the air.
Li Lan calmly picked up a cup of wine, took a sip, and then suddenly threw the cup from his hand. The cup was made of extremely brittle jade and was very easy to break, but at this moment it seemed to be made of golden crystal and divine iron, bursting out a burst of brilliant yellow light, blocking Li Jue's full-force attack!
"This person is quite strong!"
"How could someone capable of withstanding Li Hao's attack be an ordinary person?"
"I wonder if he can defeat Li Jue?"
The crowd was solemn.
Li Jue's face darkened, and he took a step forward, each step cracking the floor beneath his feet. Each step was stronger than the last, causing the entire manor to tremble. The protective array was alerted and activated, otherwise the place would probably have been reduced to ruins!
"Thor Step!"
"Seven steps in total, each step a deadly attack, the final step unstoppable!"
"One of the Li family's unique skills... is indeed powerful. Even without using the Heavenly Dragon Skill, Li Jue is still a true master."
Everyone was extremely surprised, and many people hurriedly got up and left, unwilling to be affected by Li Jue's footwork.
In the blink of an eye, Li Jue had already taken six steps, and the seventh step was about to be taken—
Li Lan remained unmoved. He picked up his chopsticks, ate a piece of the translucent spiritual fruit, and then with a flick of his wrist, the chopsticks flew out—
As Li Jue took his seventh step, Li Lan's chopsticks finally shot into a brick a foot in front of him.
boom!
The immense force of the impact was like a terrifying flash flood. The power gathered in seven steps was enough to overturn the entire manor. Its ferocity caused everyone around to gasp in shock.
Smoke billowed and sand flew everywhere, but under the power of the protective formation, everything quickly returned to calm.
On the table, Li Lan picked up another glass of wine, oblivious to everyone around him. A foot in front of Li Jue, the chopstick that Li Lan had thrown out wobbled slightly but did not break.
The blue brick where the chopstick was placed acted as a dividing line, blocking all of Li Jue's attacks and preventing them from crossing the line!
hiss!
In an instant, everyone in the room turned pale!
Everyone knew that Li Lan was not weak, but the strength that Li Lan was showing now was truly astonishing.
Although Li Jue is not as good as Li Hao, he is still a core genius of the Li clan. He once defeated Shi Zhong, Shi Hao, Jian Yingzhou and others.
The power he unleashed in his Seven Steps Formation was actually blocked by a wooden chopstick that Li Lan casually swung out.
In an instant, everyone realized that Li Lan was far superior to Li Jue, and his strength was at least one level higher than his. He was probably on the same level as Li Hao and the others!
"Another peerless genius has been born!"
"Even now, we still haven't figured out what kind of technique he's using. He's deliberately concealing it and yet he can block attacks so effortlessly. If he really makes a move, Li Jue... will only be crushed by him!"
"Li Jue has already stepped halfway into the Nascent Soul realm. Is this person's cultivation at the Nascent Soul realm?"
This sparked a lot of discussion.
Even Li Hao had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
he was thinking.
He was familiar with Li Jue's Seven Steps of Thunder and was confident that he could suppress Li Jue, but could he block it so easily?
Suddenly, he began to pay more attention to Li Lan than ever before.
Behind him, his protector Li Chengyuan had a gloomy expression, and a murderous intent slowly rose in his eyes.
—Today, Li Jue's challenge to Li Lan was arranged by the Li family.
With the emergence of a successor to the Dragon-like Technique, the Li family couldn't help but take notice. Therefore, they wanted to use Li Jue to probe Li Lan's background.
Now it seems... to be bottomless?
No, this boy poses too great a threat to the Li family!
Not only is he proficient in the Heavenly Dragon Technique, but he also possesses such talent. With such a person alive, the Li family's grand plan will likely be affected!
He had made up his mind and immediately sent a secret message to Li Jue.
Li Jue was staring at Li Lan in shock, unwilling to believe that his proud Thunder God Seven Steps had been blocked so easily.
Suddenly a voice rang in his ears. He abruptly looked up, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, and said, "You will die for humiliating me like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he disregarded everything and charged towards Li Lan again.
Boom!
He unleashed his power and rapidly approached Li Lan.
The onlookers were all puzzled.
The two are of vastly different strengths. Normally, at this point, Li Jue should admit defeat and leave. Why should he keep pestering him like this?
On the table, Li Lan's face darkened, and then he suddenly retreated!
He didn't discover anything; rather, it was an intuition he had honed over many years of ups and downs.
—Something unusual must be going on.
The instant he stepped back, a burst of cold light shot out from Li Jue's sleeve. The light was sharp and terrifying, and countless frosts instantly formed in the surrounding space!
"Ice Soul Needle!"
"A fifth-tier magic weapon!"
"He's using underhanded tactics!"
For a moment, everyone around paled and began to speak.
A fifth-tier magic weapon would probably require a cultivation level of Dao Integration to withstand.
No matter how talented or extraordinary Li Lan is, it's impossible for him to block such a hidden weapon with his Golden Core Perfection cultivation.
Once activated, the Ice Soul Needle moves at an incredible speed. Even though Li Lan was prepared to retreat, he was still caught up in the blink of an eye and had no way to avoid it!
"Dare you!"
Suddenly a loud shout rang out, and a gray figure appeared beside Li Lan. With a flick of his sleeve, the astonishing cold light was forced back and fell to the ground. It turned out to be dozens of silver needles!
Li Lan finally stopped.
An old man dressed in gray stood before him and said coldly:
"To strike at my Zhu family banquet is one crime; to use a hidden weapon to kill a peerless genius is another crime."
"For these two crimes, he should be executed!"
This old man was the new protector sent by the Zhu family to Zhu Jiuhua, named Zhu Changchuan.
Just now, Zhu Jiuhua gave him orders to protect Li Lan.
Seeing him step forward, Li Chengyuan frowned immediately and said:
"Li Jue, if you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Why make such a fuss? Quickly apologize to Senior Zhu and come back."
He spoke lightly, and Li Jue immediately bowed to Zhu Changchuan, saying, "I was a little impatient just now, please forgive me, senior!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Hey--"
But suddenly, Li Lan's voice rang out.
Li Jue subconsciously turned his head, only to see Li Lan rushing over at such speed that she was like a humanoid dragon, arriving directly in front of Li Jue.
Just as Li Jue was about to step back, Li Lan let out a loud shout, which was like a dragon's roar, causing him to lose his senses slightly.
A spurt of blood gushed out, a head rolled to the ground, and Li Jue's body slammed straight down.
In a single exchange, he died and his spirit vanished!
Everyone in the room was shocked and speechless.
Li Lan then spoke softly, smiling, "Isn't this the kind of sincere apology?"
