Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 492 - 489: Cross This Line and Die! [Third Midnight Update]

Chapter 492: Chapter 489: Cross This Line and Die! [Third Midnight Update]

New Year’s Eve, this is the most important festival in Huaxia.

Countless people drifting away from home will return on this day to reunite with their parents, spouses, and children, savoring a delicious meal of dumplings.

However, on this day, thousands of Martial Artists from all over the world gather at the Sword Pavilion.

At this moment, disciples of the Tang Sect form a human wall at the base of the Sword Pavilion.

"Everyone stop, our Third Young Master said, aside from Immortal Master Li, no one else is allowed to climb the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the Martial Artists below the mountain erupted into turmoil, boiling with fury on the spot.

"We’ve traveled thousands of miles to watch the battle, yet you won’t let us climb, what’s the meaning of this? Are you taking us for fools?"

A hot-tempered Muay Thai Master saw the obstruction and, with a single punch, killed the person blocking the way.

Afterwards, he stood on the corpse of the Tang Sect disciple, roaring fiercely, "I came all the way to Huaxia, what right do you have to stop me from climbing?"

"Just by the rule of Tang Qingyang!"

As the words were spoken, Tang Qingyang appeared in white robes, floating down gracefully. Standing with his sword, he was like the Sword God Ximen Chuixue.

At this moment, he changed from his usual listless demeanor, his eyes sharp as lightning.

The crowd dared not meet his gaze, dodging and backing away.

However, the Muay Thai Master still stood steadfast, like a stone pillar.

Tang Qingyang pointed to the body on the ground and asked, "Did you kill this one?"

The Muay Thai Master responded defiantly, "Yes, I killed him. He blocked my way; he deserved to die!"

"Very well!"

Tang Qingyang replied with a cold smile.

The Muay Thai Master, puzzled by Tang Qingyang’s attitude, braved to ask, "What’s so good about that?"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Tang Qingyang had already drawn his sword from its sheath.

After a Sword Rainbow slashed down, he quickly sheathed the sword again.

Looking back at the Muay Thai Master, a sword mark had appeared on his forehead, blood gushing out along the cut.

"A good, fast, sword!"

After uttering these four words, he fell into the pool of blood with eyes wide open, his face in utter disbelief.

Tang Qingyang coldly asked, "A life for a life, wouldn’t you say that’s fair?"

The jeers of the Tang Sect disciples rose loudly at this sight.

The other Martial Artists exchanged glances, retreating further back.

The Muay Thai Master was felled by a single sword strike, without even a chance to retaliate – it was sheer terror!

After pushing the crowd back with his gaze, Tang Qingyang drew his sword again, drawing a line at the foot of the mountain.

"Anyone who crosses this line will be killed!"

His voice was not loud, but the tone was incredibly assertive, demanding unquestioned obedience.

This time, no further objections were heard. The onlookers stepped back, fearing that a careless move might cross the line and bring about deadly consequences.

Upon seeing everyone quiet down, Tang Qingyang brushed off his sleeves and floated up the mountain.

Only when Tang Qingyang’s figure turned into a speck and completely vanished from the eyes of the onlookers did they dare to discuss in low voices.

"With one sword killing a Master, Tang Qingyang must be a Divine-level Master by now, right?"

"It seems that Immortal Master Li is going to have a big problem this time!"

"Who’s going to have trouble is still unclear. Tang Qingyang might be Divine-level, but isn’t Immortal Master Li also strong?"

"One was the demon of twenty years ago, and the other is the demon of today. Which demon do you think will come out on top?"

"Is that even a question? It’s surely Tang Qingyang. Didn’t you see that even the Muay Thai Master was slain by his single strike?"

"It’s impressive to slay a Muay Thai Master, but I’m afraid the number of Transformation Realm Masters that have died at the hands of Immortal Master Li cannot even be counted on both hands, right?"

The onlookers automatically split into two big camps, quarreling fiercely with sharp words and tongues.

Just as they were about to come to blows, suddenly there was a rumble of thunder from the heavens.

A young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes approached, carrying a hurricane and striding on clouds.

"Donghua Li Immortal Master, coming to pay respects to the mountain!"

With each word he spoke, he took a large stride, moving towards the mountain.

Ascending to the heavens in nine steps, with each step a lotus blossomed!

By the time he uttered "mountain," his figure had already reached the summit above Sword Pavilion.

Seeing such an unbelievable sight, everyone present was stunned, speechless with eyes wide open.

After what seemed like an eternity, an elder let out an astonished cry.

"The divine battle, long silent, is about to begin again!"

...

Atop Sword Pavilion, Tang Qingyang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at his late wife’s solitary grave.

Li Chen was surprised to see Tang Qingyang standing with his back to him.

He glanced at the gravestone and saw six forceful, energetic characters: The grave of my late wife, Lian’er!

"You have arrived!"

Tang Qingyang was the first to break the silence, but his tone was not like that of a sworn enemy about to engage in a life-or-death struggle, rather, he seemed to be welcoming an old friend unseen for many years.

Li Chen nodded slightly: "I have arrived."

"This is your late wife?"

Tang Qingyang nodded softly and said, "Yes, she is my beloved wife, Lian’er!"

After that, he slowly turned around, sizing up Li Chen carefully.

"You resemble your father a lot, but your eyes, they resemble your mother’s more!"

Li Chen, with a face full of astonishment, said, "You knew my parents?"

Tang Qingyang smiled and said: "More than knew them; I was very close with them!"

Then, he pointed to the headstone and said, "My Lian’er and your mother Zixuan, were sworn sisters bound by a vow!"

Li Chen, who normally would not be ruffled even by Tai Mountain crumbling before him, was now wide-eyed in shock.

Like pulling a trick, Tang Qingyang produced a jar of wine, saying, "I have wine and stories to tell, would you care to listen?"

Seeing no trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Li Chen paused for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let’s hear them."

Tang Qingyang cradled the wine jar, drinking like an old ox, gulping down two jin, and then casually tossed it to Li Chen.

Li Chen caught the wine jar and, in the posture of Azure Dragon Absorbing Water, also downed two jin.

Tang Qingyang smiled and began to recount his own story.

"About twenty-seven years ago, your father and I had already met. The first time we met, we fought a battle. At that time, atop this Sword Pavilion, we fought for three days and three nights, still without a victor. Looking back now, it was truly a thrilling fight!"

Li Chen asked, "And then?"

"Your father said he was going on a secret mission abroad and came to Sword Pavilion to bid me farewell. That time, we drank heartily for a whole day and night!"

Li Chen asked, "What mission?"

Tang Qingyang shook his head and said, "I don’t know. He didn’t say, and I never asked. All I know is that it was related to Heavenly Net!"

Li Chen was startled, "Heavenly Net?"

Tang Qingyang said, "Yes, Heavenly Net. The vast Heavenly Net, that lets nothing slip through!"

Li Chen asked further, "How do you know about these things?"

"Because your mother Zixuan came from Heavenly Net. To be precise, she was the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Net Headquarters!"
