Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1574 - 1571: The Young Progeny Is a Wolf from Zhongshan!

Due to the peak experts of the Great Sects having mostly perished and vanished.

Now gathered at Heavenly Thunder Mountain, the disciples of the Great Sects are mostly like stray dogs whose sects were destroyed, living anxiously day by day. Each of them is grieving like someone who’s just lost a parent, utterly devoid of fighting spirit.

Greedy Wolf Hall under Hu Lang, along with its various affiliated forces, though also a ragtag bunch, are buoyed by high morale.

Thus, the originally evenly matched situation.

The side led by Star Pavilion, the Demon Extermination Alliance, crumbled at the first contact, unable to contend whatsoever.

If not for Heavenly Thunder Mountain being the old stronghold of Star Pavilion, where Li Chen had laid down numerous prohibitive arrays, the entire Star Pavilion might have followed in the footsteps of Divine Sword Mountain, Tingyu Building, Azure Sky Pavilion, and other top-tier sects, being wiped out completely.

The two sides first engaged in a grand battle in the Outer Mountain area of Heavenly Thunder Mountain.

This battle resulted in a desolate field of floating corpses and rivers of blood, dyeing even the entire world red.

Due to the low morale and lack of fighting spirit among the Great Sects, within just a few days of contention, the Demon Extermination Alliance led by Star Pavilion had to abandon the corpses of tens of thousands of cultivators and were forced to tighten their defenses and retreat to the Inner Mountain.

Seeing the favorable situation for his side, Hu Lang did not hide his pride, which was naturally apparent.

Upon learning that the Star Pavilion side had already retreated, he immediately ordered a full-scale attack, hoping to seize the Inner Mountain in one go and wash away the shame of past years.

However, the Inner Mountain is extremely rugged and easy to defend but hard to attack; plus, there are Li Chen’s prohibitive arrays left before.

Greedy Wolf Hall was unable to break through after a long attack, suffering heavy casualties, and had to temporarily suspend the offensive, once again forming a standoff with Star Pavilion.

Having learned of the setback in the attack, Hu Lang was greatly enraged and personally went to the front lines to command.

He stood on a protruding high ground like a king, overlooking Beihan Wu, Gu Qingcheng, Shen Mengxi, and others below.

"Shen Mengxi, Gu Qingcheng, did you ever expect that you would see this day?"

If Li Chen were here, seeing such an arrogant Hu Lang, he would definitely make a very appropriate comment.

A cub of the Zhongshan wolf, once successful becomes rampant!

Shen Mengxi didn’t know this saying, so she used another phrase to retort Hu Lang.

Her eyebrows stood upright, and her eyes rounded with anger as she shouted, "I never imagined the once honorable Saint Heir of Greedy Wolf Hall would turn out to be so despicable and shameless!"

Upon hearing Shen Mengxi’s words, Hu Lang seemed as though someone had suddenly torn open a wound, becoming immediately annoyed and embarrassed.

His face twisted fiercely, and he roared hysterically.

"Shen Mengxi, shut up, don’t mention anything about the Saint Heir of Greedy Wolf Hall. If it weren’t for Li Chen, weren’t for you all, I, Hu Lang, wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation!"

With his wound suddenly exposed, Hu Lang had no outlet for his fiery anger.

Therefore, when he saw the statue of Li Chen standing before the Inner Mountain Hall, he charged like a maddened beast.

"Li Chen, even if you’re dead, I won’t let you go!"

After a furious roar, Hu Lang picked up a crimson longsword and slashed at the statue from the air.

Shen Mengxi noticed Hu Lang’s intention and immediately went up with her sword.

"Clang!"

The sound of sharp metal clashing burst into the air, and the sparks scattered illuminated the entire Heavenly Thunder Mountain, flickering on and off.

"Thud thud thud!"

With Shen Mengxi unable to withstand Hu Lang, her entire body, after just a single clash, was shaken uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, causing her to recoil repeatedly.

Seeing Shen Mengxi, the once equally famous Goddess, was now unable to withstand a single strike from him, Hu Lang’s pride flared even more.

"Shen Mengxi, now do you see that I, Hu Lang, am not inferior to anyone?"

When speaking this, his eyes were fixed on Li Chen’s statue.

It was obvious that this "anyone" also included Li Chen.

Shen Mengxi wiped the red blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her pale hand, her eyes wide as she shouted angrily, "Hmph, compared to him, you’re far from it!"

Upon hearing Shen Mengxi’s words, Hu Lang instantly seemed to go mad, furiously waving his sword, the tip gleaming cold, pointing remotely at Li Chen’s statue, roaring hysterically.

"Shen Mengxi, you say, what makes me inferior to him, that you regard me so lowly?"

Not backing down, Shen Mengxi stared into Hu Lang’s eyes, which were as red as those of a devil, and said firmly, "In every way, you are no match for him!"

In every way, you are no match for him!

This short sentence pierced Hu Lang’s heart like a knife.

Hu Lang, insane with anger, laughed maniacally and repeatedly said "good" three times.

"Good, good, good. Today, I will prove to you that I, Hu Lang, am the strongest!"

After a bout of crazy roaring, Hu Lang suddenly raised his sword, drawing a streak of crimson light, tearing through the void, extending towards Li Chen’s statue.

Beihan Wu, Gu Qingcheng, Shen Mengxi, and others, seeing this, rushed forward to stop him.

However, having inherited the Wolf God’s legacy, Hu Lang was no longer the same Hu Lang of the past.

Even when Beihan Wu, Gu Qingcheng, Shen Mengxi, and others joined forces, they were still no match for Hu Lang and were defeated one by one.

Hu Lang ascended against the sky, hovering parallel to the void where Li Chen’s statue stood.

He pointed his sword remotely at Li Chen, his face twisted with ferocity as he shouted, "Li Chen, today, I will repay the humiliation you have inflicted upon me a hundredfold. Let you witness the downfall of the Star Pavilion you founded with your own hands, let your woman become ruined. I will let the world know that I, Hu Lang, am stronger than you!"

After this hysterical roar, Hu Lang suddenly lifted his longsword, aiming a strike at the neck of Li Chen’s statue, intending to decapitate it with one blow.

Yet, at this critical moment, Shen Mengxi suddenly, without regard for her own life, rushed forward and positioned herself in front of Hu Lang’s sword edge.

Hu Lang had adored Shen Mengxi since childhood, always regarding her as his future Taoist couple.

Moreover, he believed that if not for Li Chen’s interference, he would have long embraced the beauty.

It was precisely because of these reasons that he had targeted Li Chen in the past and harbored such deep hatred for him.

Shen Mengxi rushing forward, disregarding her life, completely caught Hu Lang off guard.

His intense love for Shen Mengxi still existed, and moreover, he wanted Shen Mengxi to witness the total destruction of the Star Pavilion Li Chen established and to admit with her own mouth that he was stronger than Li Chen.

Therefore, under no circumstances would he kill Shen Mengxi!

At least, not now!

Hu Lang abruptly withdrew his sword, avoiding Shen Mengxi’s fatal spot at the Life Gate.

Still, they were too close, and the incident happened suddenly. Although Hu Lang avoided Shen Mengxi’s vital areas, the sword still pierced through her shoulder.

Scarlet blood spurted into the sky like a waterfall, dyeing the sky red and also the eyes of everyone present.

Hu Lang was beyond furious, his eyes, like vultures, full of resentment and hatred.

"Why would you do such a thing? Is a statue of him worth risking your life to protect?"

Facing Hu Lang’s hysterical questioning, Shen Mengxi used the back of her pale hand to fiercely wipe the blood from her mouth.

Then, she met Hu Lang’s blood-red eyes, filled with hatred, with an indomitable gaze.

"Yes!"

Yes!

These two words struck Hu Lang’s chest like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, causing him to feel utterly charred inside and out.

Hatred and jealousy engulfed his reason completely.

He really couldn’t comprehend why, even standing at the highest peak of this Star Domain, he was still inferior to a dead man?

"If it’s worth it, then you shall die!"
