Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Ji Chen Takes Action
"Your words are quite bold, but if you want to look down on the Beiyou Human Race, you’re not qualified enough."
Ji Chen walked slowly into the crowd, with a faint smile on his face, his gaze meeting Long Shiyuan’s.
Back then, in Bicheng, this person had wanted to make a move against him, and he didn’t expect to meet him here again now.
"Who are you?"
Long Shiyuan frowned and asked.
Clearly, at this moment, Ji Chen had altered his appearance with a secret technique, so he was not recognized.
But judging from the power of that finger just now, this unknown white-robed youth’s cultivation was evidently something Long Shiyuan couldn’t underestimate.
"Buzz!"
Ji Chen didn’t respond but instead pointed out at him again.
The finger glow shone brilliantly, with an astonishing momentum, mixed with the power of the Sword Law. With Ji Chen’s current cultivation, such a finger could clearly threaten an ordinary Celestial Essence Realm cultivator.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Ji Chen make a move again, Long Shiyuan’s expression immediately darkened.
With a cold snort, he also launched a fierce strike without a word.
A giant claw of the Cyan Dragon appeared out of thin air, viciously clawing forward.
"Crack!"
But Long Shiyuan still underestimated the power of Ji Chen’s finger.
When the finger glow collided with the giant Cyan Dragon claw, at that moment, the claw was directly shattered and crumbled.
And the momentum of Ji Chen’s finger glow did not diminish in the slightest, continuing to press toward Long Shiyuan.
"Bang!"
Finally, a dull booming sound reached the ears of everyone around, and Long Shiyuan’s entire body was sent flying by this finger.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, protecting his chest with spiritual power, otherwise, he might have already been in a life-threatening situation.
Even so, being hit by Ji Chen’s finger, Long Shiyuan’s internal breath became quite disordered.
At the same time, he was surprised that Ji Chen’s strength was much stronger than he had imagined.
But judging from the aura on the other party, this white-robed man’s cultivation seemed not to have reached the Celestial Essence Realm.
How could this be possible?
Someone who hadn’t even broken through to the Celestial Essence Realm had the strength to repel him — how did he achieve this?
But how could Long Shiyuan know that although Ji Chen was only at the Seventh Layer of the Returning Ruins Realm, with nine spirit veins, his strength had long been able to contend with ordinary Celestial Essence First Layer powerhouses.
Moreover, the power of the Sword Law was also integrated into that previous finger, making it naturally irresistible for someone with only Celestial Essence Second Layer cultivation.
Most importantly, that finger wasn’t even Ji Chen’s full strength.
If he were to utilize the powers of the Supreme Scripture and the Heavenly Scripture, under that finger, Long Shiyuan would probably already be a corpse.
"Buzz!"
And just as Long Shiyuan was surprised in his heart, Ji Chen attacked again.
Another finger pointed out of thin air, its power completely formidable, leaving Long Shiyuan unable to resist.
He was once again sent flying, retreating a full eighteen steps before his body finally steadied.
"Bang!"
Ji Chen kept making moves, giving Long Shiyuan no time to react.
Every finger he pointed out, the astonishing finger glow accurately struck Long Shiyuan’s body, sending him flying again and again.
"Ah!"
Miserable cries echoed continuously.
At first, Long Shiyuan could still withstand Ji Chen’s attacks, but as the number increased, by now, he was unable to resist, being continuously pushed back while uncontrollably coughing up blood, his face turning pale.
At this moment, his hair was disheveled, looking extremely embarrassed.
Most importantly, in the face of Ji Chen’s attacks, he found himself completely powerless to resist.
And Ji Chen didn’t use his full strength to defeat him in one blow, but instead, kept knocking him back time and again, which was entirely a form of humiliation.
Long Shiyuan was furious. Being humiliated in front of everyone by someone with lower cultivation than himself was something he couldn’t accept.
But he had no way at all, feeling an immense suffocation in his heart.
"Bang!"
Finally, Ji Chen transformed his finger into a palm, striking out of thin air.
An invisible giant hand descended on Long Shiyuan, sending his entire body flying far away, crashing through several large trees in the distance before coming to a stop.
By now, Long Shiyuan was powerless to even wail; he coughed up blood incessantly, and his consciousness became quite blurred, as if he could faint at any moment.
"Nothing much."
Ji Chen withdrew his hand and stood, his gaze sweeping over the young members of the Ancient Race present, he said, "When you’re out and about, it’s best to act low-key. Today is no longer the era where your Ancient Race reigns supreme. Underestimate the Human Race, and it will only be to your own detriment."
Leaving behind such words, Ji Chen did not linger, leaping into the distance, disappearing into the sky.
Watching his departing direction, everyone wore expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Who is he?"
"Judging from his aura, he has at most the cultivation of the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Returning Ruins Realm, yet his strength is so incredible — even Long Shiyuan of the Celestial Essence Second Layer has no power to resist against him!"
"When did we have such a figure among the younger generation of the Beiyou Human Race?"
"Could he be a genius from an ancient emperor family, hidden for many years, only emerging recently?"
The crowd couldn’t help but discuss, all speculating about Ji Chen’s background.
But clearly, no one at the scene could identify who he was.
Long Shiyuan was not an ordinary member of the Dragon Race, but a genius of the Dragon King’s lineage. In recent years, he has made quite a name worldwide.
But tonight, he was easily defeated by a mysterious Human Race youth, and such news spread instantly.
"It is said that this mysterious Human Race youth is at most Seventh Layer Returning Ruins Realm. If that’s true, it’s quite unbelievable that he could defeat Long Shiyuan."
"What is this person’s background? Apparently, no one who has seen him could recognize him."
"Some speculate that he is not from Beiyou but a cultivator from the Eastern Desolation, West Desert, or Southern Region, and that he acted against Long Shiyuan simply to stand up for the Human Race, rather than for Beiyou specifically."
In Yao City, in some teahouses and taverns, many people were discussing this matter.
As time passed, three days went by in a blink.
The duel between the Dao Inference Saint Heir and the Dragon Heir was approaching, and now Yao City was much more lively compared to three days ago.
As the great battle approached, almost everyone who was coming had arrived, all focusing on Yao City.
With stormy events converging, there were frequent conflicts between the geniuses of the two ancient races, but fortunately, the elders of both sides stepped in, preventing the situation from becoming uncontrollable.
However, the conflicts between the two races’ geniuses continued, happening several times daily. As a result, the topic of Ji Chen defeating Long Shiyuan was gradually overshadowed by other events.
"The Gu Family’s Dao Body has arrived!"
"He has emerged from seclusion? I wonder what level of cultivation he has reached now?"
On this day, such rumors spread in the city. It is said that someone saw Gu Hao appear, arriving in Yao City.
