C12 Overwhelming Suppression

Nine heart meridians!

Looking at the nine heart meridians that were faintly visible on Lu Chen's chest, the entire square fell silent.

Even Lei Hsing and the others in the pavilion had solemn expressions.

They looked at each other, and a trace of hostility flashed across their eyes.

Initially, with Lu Chen's strength, it was impossible for him to threaten them. However, it was different now.

A sixth level Body Tempering who had activated nine heart meridians. He was simply a genius amongst geniuses. If the news were to spread, it would definitely cause many major cultivation sects in Celestial Illusion Dynasty to fight over him.

"What's going on?"

Lei Hsing was the first to stand up. Both of his eyes were shining brightly, as if he wanted to see through Lu Chen.

Mu Tong and Hong Yuu were stunned. Muh Wan, who was standing to the side, had a complicated expression on her face. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Ye Xi, on the other hand, was calm.

She knew better than anyone how terrifying Lu Chen's potential was.

"My god! Since the City Lord has activated nine heart meridians? Too scary."

"Genius, a rare genius that only appears once every ten thousand years."

"The limit of a Body Tempering Stage is nine heart meridians. Isn't the City Lord too heaven defying?"

For a moment, the praises for Lu Chen could be heard without end.

Many young martial artists who remained neutral began to waver, maintaining a certain distance from the three great families.

"No, that's impossible."

Lei Lian shook his head, shouting in his heart. He could not accept the reality in front of him.

Apart from that, Duan San was the one who had suffered the biggest blow. A second ago, he was in high spirits and looked down on Lu Chen arrogantly. In the next second, he looked like he had lost his soul, and his face was full of vicissitudes of life.

He sat on the ground, his eyes empty and silent.

Lu Chen withdrew his aura, and his heart meridian disappeared. There was a domineering aura coming from his body. He swept across the crowd, and finally returned to his seat in front of the green rock.

Just like what he had said, a mere Duan San was not worth his effort.

However, since he was courting death, he wouldn't blame himself for being impolite.

Lu Chen used a simple and crude method to oppress Duan San in all aspects. The seven heart meridians that he was proud of had become ordinary at this moment.

Because, everyone was shocked by Lu Chen's powerful potential.

"He's too strong."

Countless exclamations sounded from the square.

After a long time, Lei Lian calmed down. He looked at Lu Chen with eyes full of hostility.

"He has already activated nine of his heart meridians when he is only at the sixth level of the Body Tempering. His potential is too strong. Such a person must not be allowed to grow. Otherwise, he will definitely become a great disaster in the future."

Since he had already offended Lu Chen to death, he might as well go all out and defeat him in the Genius Banquet.

Thinking of this, Lei Lian turned his head and looked at the pavilion. Lei Hsing nodded at him.

He understood what Lei Hsing meant. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen... As the City Lord, how can you bear to deal with your people in such a cruel way?"

Lei Lian started to launch an attack.

After a short period of shock, he felt that although Lu Chen had nine heart meridians and was invincible amongst those at the sixth level of the Body Tempering, his cultivation base was higher than Lu Chen's. This was the advantage he had.

"Duan San only wanted to spar with you, but you killed him. You have violated the rules of the Genius Banquet by doing this. Your crime cannot be redeemed."

Lei Lian used the rules of the Genius Banquet to suppress Lu Chen, instantly putting himself on the moral high ground.

"That's right. As the City Lord, you should love your people, but your actions have disappointed us."

"You don't deserve to be the City Lord of Tianhuang City."

"What's the big deal about bullying the weak? If you have the ability, fight me alone."

The disciples of the three great families were filled with righteous indignation, and their emotions were completely stirred up.

With just a few words, Lei Lian had placed Lu Chen on the opposite side of the people of Tianhuang City.

Lu Chen furrowed his brows. This time, he was really angry.

"Hehe."

He opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the people who were filled with righteous indignation. He kept sneering.

Initially, he thought that with the appearance of his nine heart meridians and the fact that he had severely injured Duan San, this technique would be enough to make the others stop harassing him.

Now that he thought about it, he was wrong.

You will never be able to wake up a person pretending to be asleep. There are some people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin.

For example, Lei Lian...

The angrier he was, the calmer Lu Chen became. He looked straight at Lei Lian. "Previously, he instigated Duan San to fight with me, and now, he provoked everyone. You want me to be the common enemy of the whole nation, and your goal is to force me to fight you. Then, you will use the name of Genius Banquet to get rid of me? "

Lu Chen said coldly.

Lei Lian felt a little guilty after being stared at by such a terrifying gaze.

His body trembled slightly, and then he said coldly, " Hmph, everyone's eyes were bright. Yesterday, you attacked with malicious intent. Cripple Lei Ming. Today, in the Genius Banquet, you even attacked with force. You have severely injured Duan San. Such a despicable method is truly infuriating to both man and god."

Lei Lian said, "If you know what's good for you, then get out of the Genius Banquet. Otherwise..."

"What will happen if you don't know what's good for you?" Lu Chen opposed with equal harshness, not giving in at all.

At this moment, his aura was also rising steadily.

On the square, everyone knew that there would definitely be a storm coming.

"If not, I, Lei Lian, will definitely suppress you with my own hands."

Lei Lian said fiercely. As he spoke, he spread his hands, and a layer of lightning appeared around his body.

Two balls of lightning swiftly agglomerated in his palm.

"Heavenly Sun Body Tempering Art."

Hong Tao's eyes sparkled as he said, "I didn't expect Lei Lian to have already mastered it."

The strongest skill in the Lei family's Body Tempering Stage was the Heavenly Sun Body Tempering skill. Cultivating this skill could temper one's physique to the extreme.

When combined with the Heavenly Sun Fist and the Heavenly Sun Breathing Arts, one would be able to fight across levels.

This was also the foundation for the Lei family to dominate the Tianhuang City.

"Suppress me?"

Lu Chen gave a strange smile, then waved his hand, and his energy soared.

"In all these years, you are the first person who said those words to me."

In his past life, he had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years. After reaching the peak, no one dared to say these words to him anymore.

Huhuhu!

Lu Chen circulated the Thunder Fire Breathing Arts, and it flowed through his entire body. His meridians trembled, and the strength in his body soared. He suddenly clenched his fist, and the void around his fist trembled.

"In other people's eyes, you are a genius, but in my eyes, you... are nothing."

After saying that, Lu Chen attacked.

* Hong! *

A simple punch containing the power of the Thunder Fire Breathing Arts was thrown at Lei Lian.

At this time, the latter had also unleashed his Heavenly Sun Fist.

"Lu Chen, you are dead for sure."

Lei Lian's eyes emitted a fierce light as he punched at Lu Chen's fist.

Dong!

A deafening sound resounded across the sky. The two of them collided, and an unimaginable force erupted from them.

Hissss!

A terrifying flame burst forth from the collision.

Miserable cries could be heard from within the flame.

"The Sky Yang Fist is too powerful."

"With the Heavenly Sun Body Tempering skill, it will be very difficult for anyone in the Body Tempering Stage to break through his defense."

"Adding the Heavenly Sun Breathing Arts, Lei Lian will be able to fight a ninth level Body Tempering martial artist."

Hong Tao, Mu Chen, Mu Yi, and the others all nodded their heads.

Even though Lu Chen's talent was outstanding, his cultivation level was too low. This was a serious injury.

"This is good as well. What qualifications does Lu Chen have to be the City Lord of Tianhuang City?"

"That's right. The Prince Zhan Clan has declined. My Tianhuang City will naturally choose a new king."

In the pavilion, Lei Hsing and the others looked at Lu Chen with disdain.

Ye Xi was the only one who had a bright smile on her face. She had great confidence in Lu Chen.
