Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 92 Su Chen Reveals His Strength

The old man watched this scene calmly; he had seen this kind of thing many times before.

Those who don't know how to assess the situation and conceal their talents often die the fastest. This young man in front of us is no exception, nor will he be the last!

Just as he was thinking this, Li Luo and the other two were looking excited, while Gu Jia's eyes flashed with murderous intent and disdain.

Something unexpected happened to everyone!

The scorching wind and waves rushed towards us.

The air seemed to ignite instantly, and a rolling wave of heat surged forth, carrying a scorching heat that caused the ground to warp slightly.

Looking at the approaching firebird, Su Chen remained calm, merely raising his sleeve and waving it slightly.

An invisible force formed from magical power suddenly spread out, cool and gentle, like moonlight pouring down.

Intense heat and icy coldness collided suddenly in mid-air.

boom!

Before the firebird could even get close, it seemed to have crashed into an invisible moonlight.

next moment.

boom!

The crimson flames suddenly dissipated.

The firebird's body shattered into countless sparks that scattered and died out in the air before even hitting the ground.

The surging heat suddenly vanished, wiped away by an invisible hand.

At that moment, the scene fell silent.

A look of astonishment flashed across Li Luo's and the others' faces.

Gu Jia's face stiffened, and disbelief flashed in her eyes.

Before she could figure out what was going on, the invisible force that had scattered the firebird did not dissipate and rushed in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Gu Jia's pupils suddenly contracted.

puff!

A muffled thud.

An invisible force struck her, making her feel as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.

What came into the view of Li Luo, Wang Lin and the others was the figure of Senior Sister Gu Jia spitting blood and flying backward.

boom!

She crashed heavily to the ground, raising dust and sending pebbles flying.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment.

The scene became even quieter than before; even the sound of breathing became exceptionally clear.

Su Chen remained calm as he watched the scene unfold before him.

Wang Chong and the other two looked on incredulously.

Shouldn't it be this kid in front of me who's being engulfed by the firebirds, lying on the ground howling in agony?

Are they seeing things? How could they see Senior Sister Gu Jia vomiting blood and flying backwards?

How is that possible!

Senior Sister Gu Jia is using Taoist magic!

How could Senior Sister Gu Jia be beaten to the point of vomiting blood and flying backwards?

Not far away, He Yu and the other handymen disciples, who had instinctively closed their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the horrific scene to come, and who had felt pity for Gu Jia, also heard her agonizing screams.

They instinctively opened their eyes and turned their heads to look.

They were dumbfounded as they stared at Gu Jia, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood.

"Junior Sister Gu Jia!" Lin Bufan and the others, who were watching from afar, exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Lin stared in shock, his eyes wide.

"this----"

A look of surprise and doubt flashed in the old man's eyes.

He knew this young man well; not only was his luck mediocre, but his spiritual root was also a mixed spiritual root of the five elements. How could he possibly have magical power so quickly?

With his remaining senses, he vaguely sensed that the young man's aura was not weak and that he seemed to possess a considerable amount of magical power.

Is it the middle or late stage of Qi Refining?

The old man was somewhat surprised and suspicious.

At this time.

Gu Jia, who was lying on the ground in a disheveled state and spitting blood, also came back to her senses from her daze.

She looked up and stared blankly at the boy not far away, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Feeling the gazes fixed on her from all around, Gu Jia felt her cheeks burning, and she was filled with shame and indignation.

She can't accept it.

The guy in front of her was clearly a lowly ant, and she should have been the one to make an example of him in front of everyone. How did things turn out like this?

"This is definitely not ordinary martial arts!"

Gu Jia's face darkened. "You've also cultivated magical power? Even more than me?!"

Ordinary martial arts could never possibly break her Daoist magic!

Unless the guy in front of me has also cultivated magical power, there is no other possibility!

But how is this possible? How could a mere handyman disciple at the foot of the mountain comprehend the breathing technique so quickly, even surpassing her cultivation of magical power?

Su Chen remained calm and asked, "What gave you the illusion that I was using mortal martial arts and had no magical power?"

"Is this what gives you the audacity to offend me?"

The words were spoken.

The scene was somewhat quiet.

The servant disciples stared wide-eyed.

They admitted it?

In other words, this person also comprehended the breathing technique, successfully absorbed qi, and cultivated magical power.

Even more than Gu Jia, her senior sister?!

"At the foot of our eighty-nine peaks, someone has actually emerged who rivals the geniuses at the summit?"

"It's not even a few days until the assessment of breathing techniques, and someone's already showing promise?"

Although such things have happened before, the fact that it happened in front of them at this moment still shocked, envious, and jealous them.

Not far away.

Lin Bufan and the others also became serious.

They naturally knew that among the nearly ten thousand miscellaneous disciples of the eighty-nine peaks, there must be some hidden geniuses that the sect had not yet discovered.

Therefore, they have not slacked off in the past month, working hard to comprehend breathing techniques and gather qi, fearing that they would be replaced and sent down the mountain when their breathing techniques were tested a month later.

Who would have thought that such a genius would appear now?!

Even Gu Jia, who had cultivated several magical powers, was easily defeated?

For a moment, their eyes were filled with apprehension.

Just as they were thinking this...

Su Chen ignored them and continued to raise his right hand, revealing a pure and radiant magical power in it.

Although he only displayed Qi Refining level magic power, it was more than enough to deal with Li Luo and the others in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Gu Jia, Li Luo, and the other two all widened their eyes in astonishment.

Without even thinking, they guessed what the boy in front of them wanted to do.

You must understand, they are currently in a life-or-death struggle. Even if they are killed, the sect will not care!

Gu Jia reacted quickly, saying in terror, "You can't kill me! I'm a member of a collateral branch of the Gu family. If you kill me, my Gu family will never let you get away with it!"

"There are many geniuses like you in the Haoran Immortal Sect, but no matter how talented you are, if you offend the Gu family, you will only face death!"

'

"My Gu family's main branch has a Golden Core True Monarch who is a core disciple—"

As she spoke, Gu Jia gradually relaxed, and her confidence returned to her face.

So what if this guy in front of her is a genius? Compared to the behemoth that is the Gu family in the Haoran Immortal Sect, he is nothing at all. In fact, with the resources that the Gu family will provide, she is confident that she can far surpass this person!

No matter how good your aptitude is, cultivating immortality is all about power and background!

The words were spoken.

A collective gasp filled the air.

"Gu Jia? A core disciple?"

"A Golden Core True Monarch?"

"A Golden Elixir True Lord who lives for a thousand years, watching the mulberry fields turn to green?!"

For a moment, their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Gu Jia, and they all knew that this matter was over.

Looking at the boy in white in the arena, they showed sympathy in their eyes.

Just thinking about it makes them feel sorry for this guy.

Despite engaging in a fierce battle, and even being stronger than the opponent, the lack of powerful backing prevented them from killing Gu Jia. They had to be extremely cautious in their dealings with her, even offering apologies.

Li Luo and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, their smiles returning, their eyes filled with disdain.

However, just when they all thought that this matter was over for today.

Despite being watched by many eyes, Su Chen remained calm.

Gazing at Gu Jia lying on the ground with a smile on her face, his calm voice echoed in the area and in the ears of the many servant disciples.

"So what?"

so what? !

To everyone's astonishment.

The bright, radiant magic surged forth, quickly enveloping Gu Jia, Li Luo, and the other two.

With the four people looking on incredulously, the magic power rapidly eroded them.

"ah----"

A scream rang out.

Even on her deathbed, Gu Jia still couldn't believe it, staring intently at the boy opposite her.

She was bewildered, not understanding how things had turned out this way.

Fear filled the faces of Li Luo and the other two, and regret and resentment appeared in their eyes.

It was directed at both the young man before him and the old servant Ding Sheng.

If it weren't for that old guy, they wouldn't have offended him!

"Damn it—"

"I'm not reconciled!"

"I haven't become an immortal yet, I don't want to die—"

Amidst resentment, hatred, and despair, the life force within the four quickly extinguished, and their bodies turned to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Su Chen watched this scene calmly, his mind undisturbed, as if he had merely crushed a few ants under his feet.

Then, he ignored the dazed disciples around him and turned to walk towards the wooden house not far behind him.

With a creak.

The wooden door slammed shut.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

With a loud bang, a murmur of discussion arose.

"He actually dared to kill Senior Sister Gu Jia?"

"Senior Sister Gu Jia is dead?!"

They couldn't believe it, and at the same time, they couldn't help but think that this person was really crazy.

That's the Gu family, which has a Golden Core True Monarch! How dare he offend them?

Killing a collateral descendant of the Gu family in public, especially after Gu Jia, the senior sister, had already revealed her family background, and still daring to kill someone under such circumstances, is a complete slap in the face to the Gu family!

Even if Senior Sister Gu Jia is just a disciple from a collateral branch, the Gu family will absolutely not ignore this matter for the sake of their reputation!

"This guy's finished!"

"Tsk, just because you're barely a genius, you think you can do whatever you want?"

For a moment, many of the handyman disciples cast pitying glances at the quiet wooden house.

Almost without thinking, the Gu family will definitely send someone soon, and then—

Not far away.

A look of admiration flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

The old man's surprised expression gradually faded, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Too much rigidity leads to breakage!

Ultimately, he was young and impetuous, and didn't know how to assess the situation. He offended the Gu family, a behemoth of the Haoran Immortal Sect. This young man will not have a good end.

This also confirms his initial prediction: this child has mediocre luck and is destined to suffer many misfortunes in the future; his future is already set.
