Bang!
With a deafening roar, Liu's attack slammed into the Mystic Barrier, causing the golden shield to tremble violently, rippling with energy. Yet, it ultimately could not withstand the blow. However, Liu's strength was nearly depleted from the earlier exertion. All the fierce winds dissipated into nothingness.
Interesting!
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Liu's eyes. This kid's defense was unexpectedly formidable; it seemed he had underestimated him after all.
Kid, do you think this will stop Old Madam?
Liu suppressed his shock and let out a cold laugh inwardly as the blood energy within him surged once more, gathering an even more intense power.
At that moment, Chen Li moved.
In an instant, he appeared before Liu like a ghost, his speed astonishing and breathtaking!
What?!
Liu's face went pale with shock; he had completely failed to catch Chen Li's movement. How could this kid possess such terrifying speed?!
What terrified Liu even more was that Chen Li was surrounded by Spiritual Energy that surged like a flood breaking through a dam. The aura of that little figure had suddenly soared to the Innate Realm Ninth Level!
How is this possible?!
Liu's eyes nearly popped out in disbelief. This kid was also at the Innate Realm Ninth Level?!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Liu shook his head frantically. He refused to believe that a mere child could possess such terrifying cultivation! Fear crawled over Liu's heart like a parasite.
He forced himself to calm down; after all, he was an experienced old demon and still had some composure left.
This is just trickery! Old Madam won't believe you have such strong cultivation. Just make one move, and you'll immediately reveal your true form. Old Madam will see if you can turn the tide!
For cultivators, without genuine cultivation, they could not inflict any harm on him whatsoever. However, Liu was naturally cautious and immediately roared in anger, channeling all his blood energy.
Layer upon layer of defensive barriers formed before him. In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand layers of barriers had accumulated!
These barriers would not be easily breached, even by ten or eight Innate Realm Ninth Level opponents!
Chen Li looked at the turtle-shell-like defensive barrier before him, yet a faint smile appeared on his small face. That smile seemed harmless, but in Liu's eyes, it resembled a demon from hell, sending chills down his spine.
Nine Turns Celestial Dragon Technique!
A tender voice echoed, seemingly imbued with a strange kind of magic that resonated throughout the heavens and the earth.
With a low shout from Chen Li, a massive illusion of a Golden Divine Dragon emerged behind his small frame. The dragon appeared vividly alive, its scales clearly visible, and its eyes shone with an intense brilliance, radiating an aura of terrifying destruction.
Roar!
The thunderous roar of the dragon reverberated through the skies, as if it could be heard clearly within a hundred miles. The overwhelming might of the dragon spread across the area, causing everyone present to tremble in fear.
Both the members of the Shen Family and those from Shen Zhenhai's lineage were shaken to their core. Liu was struck with astonishment, feeling as though his soul was about to flee his body. Being closest to Chen Li, he could sense the terrifying power firsthand.
He never imagined that a six-year-old child could summon such a formidable force! In that moment, he felt like an ant, ready to be crushed into dust at any moment. His voice trembled as panic filled his eyes.
However, Chen Li did not pause in his actions. He slowly raised his small hand, and the illusion of the Golden Divine Dragon lifted its enormous claw in response, slamming down towards Liu with great force!
Boom!
In a deafening crash, what seemed to be an impenetrable barrier crumbled before the golden dragon's claw as if it were made of paper, utterly destroyed in an instant.
Liu felt an overwhelming force crashing down upon him; his chest caved in instantly, and the sound of shattering bones echoed clearly. His internal meridians burst one by one, blood gushing forth uncontrollably. He didn’t even have time to let out a scream before he was sent flying by that terrifying power, tracing a tragic arc through the air.
Finally, he crashed heavily to the ground, his life force dissipating rapidly like a punctured balloon. His eyes widened in shock, yet his body could no longer move.
Liu, a powerful Cultivator at the Innate Realm Ninth Level, met his end at the hands of a six-year-old child, dying with eyes wide open!
Chen Li slowly retracted his fist as the illusion of the Golden Divine Dragon faded into thin air as if it had never existed. He glanced down at his fist and then at Liu's lifeless body, his small face showing no sign of emotion, as if he had merely accomplished something trivial.
"Li!"
Shen Wanzhou's anxious voice came as she rushed to Chen Li's side, scanning him up and down, fearing he might be hurt.
"Mother, I'm fine." Chen Li looked up at Shen Wanzhou, offering a reassuring smile.
His cultivation had already reached the Innate Realm Ninth Level, but his physical development was lacking, and his powers were sealed by the system. However, as the host, he could still temporarily unleash his full cultivation.
The recent strike had indeed drained all the energy from his young body. A wave of weakness surged through Chen Li, causing him to sway slightly, nearly falling over. Forcing the system to unseal his powers and release strength beyond his physical limits was still too heavy a burden for someone so young.
"Li!" Shen Wanzhou exclaimed in alarm, wanting to embrace Chen Li but was stopped by him.
She could only ask urgently, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Chen Li forced a faint smile and replied, "Mother, I'm fine; I'm just a bit tired."
Even while standing, he felt his eyelids growing heavy, and his consciousness began to blur.
Shen Wanzhou looked at Chen Li with concern. "Li, dear, why don't you go back with me to rest?"
Chen Li shook his head, lifting his small face and casting a cold glance at Shen Zhenhai.
Shen Zhenhai trembled under that gaze, an inexplicable panic rising within him. He had no doubt that if he dared to act against Chen Li in any way, Chen Li would immediately eliminate him. After all, if he could kill someone from the Wuding Marquisate without hesitation, there was likely nothing Chen Li wouldn't dare to do.
However, considering that he had gained nothing and lost an Innate Ninth Level powerhouse, even if he met the Wuding Marquis now, it was unlikely that their family's lives would be spared.
With this thought in mind, he steeled himself. "You little beast! You've caused a tremendous disaster!" Shen Zhenhai shouted angrily while pointing at Chen Li.
At these words, Chen Li couldn't help but lift his head and look indifferently at Shen Zhenhai.
The small child’s eyes were filled with cunning and coldness. He didn't even bother looking directly at Shen Zhenhai anymore and instead turned to his grandfather Shen Zhentian to remind him: "Grandfather, he's just an ordinary cultivator who has been living well thanks to your past achievements; how could he possibly command an Innate Realm Ninth Level Cultivator?"
