The heavenly stele descended with overwhelming force, like a mountain falling from the sky. Before it even fully landed, everyone felt an immense pressure. Even the newcomers, who had originally been kneeling, were instantly forced flat onto the ground.
Shen Junfeng’s eyes showed anticipation. This was one of his advantages. Although he had never intended to use it, the advantage was very real.
This time, he was a disciple of the Gudao Sect, and would be protected by them!
“Die,” Shen Junfeng said, his expression vicious.
Even Shen Junfeng would not dare to withstand an attack from such a character, an NPC of this calibre.
“Hum!” The heavenly stele arrived, accompanied by a sharp sound tearing through the air.
But Luo Chen did not dodge or evade. Watching the stele, he suddenly raised his right hand.
Elder Wang sneered. Once the heavenly stele fell, his opponent would be instantly crushed into paste.
There was no earth shattering roar, no terrifying momentum, not even a sound.
The stele descended, and Luo Chen caught it with a single hand. By all logic, even if he caught it, the stone slabs beneath his feet should have shattered, or at least cracked.
But they did not. Luo Chen caught it as effortlessly as plucking a falling leaf.
This instantly turned Elder Wang pale with shock.
“How is this possible?” Elder Wang’s face was filled with terror. This was one of his signature techniques. Within the sect, apart from the sect leader, who would dare to block it head on?
“Here, take it back!” Luo Chen fiercely hurled the heavenly stele at Elder Wang.
It moved too fast, striking directly towards the elder.
“Thud!”
“Bang!” In the outer gate of the Gudao Sect, the earth and mountains shook violently. Those exquisite pavilions and ancient buildings collapsed instantly. The bluestone slabs shattered completely, and a massive crater was blasted directly into the ground!
It was not that the stele lacked weight, but that Luo Chen’s strength was simply too great.
But Elder Wang was no Luo Chen. Lying in the deep crater, half of his body was torn apart.
Shen Junfeng stared at Luo Chen in horror.
He could not understand it. Luo Chen was merely a beginner. How could he possibly reach such a level?
How could he possess such power?
Never mind advanced players like himself, even an NPC like Elder Wang was no match?
How was this possible?
But the facts were right before him. Only now did he realise that Luo Chen was absolutely not someone who could be killed casually, as he had imagined.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen slowly walked towards Elder Wang, his entire body radiating a terrifying intent to kill.
“You want to kill him?” Shen Junfeng stared at Luo Chen, horrified.
“Is that even a question?” Luo Chen replied, showing clear disdain.
“Fine, then go ahead and kill him for me to see?” Shen Junfeng laughed, his expression mocking.
In this horror game, killing an NPC would result in instant execution by the game rules.
After all, the game rules were equivalent to the heavenly dao, the true gods.
Once they decided to erase Luo Chen, no matter how powerful he was, he would die.
Even veteran players could not resist!
He actually very much hoped Luo Chen would hurry up and kill Elder Wang.
“If you kill him, you will die immediately!” Shen Junfeng laughed maniacally.
But his laughter cut off abruptly.
Because Luo Chen had acted. He stomped and crushed Elder Wang’s skull, yet stood there perfectly unharmed.
“No, this is impossible?”
“Why was there no heavenly tribulation?”
Shen Junfeng was completely stunned. He could not comprehend it. This was a rule. Why was someone not erased for breaking it?
“Why?” Shen Junfeng roared unwillingly.
“I will tell you why. Because it does not dare!” Luo Chen pointed to the sky above.
“What did you say?”
“It does not dare?”
“Here, it is a god!” Shen Junfeng went completely mad. He refused to believe it.
Luo Chen ignored him and looked towards the eight people who were frozen in terror.
Then, with a cold smile, he walked towards them.
“What do you, what, what do you want to do?” Their faces showed a mixture of terror and panic.
After all, Luo Chen now had the absolute power to kill them!
“What do I want to do?” Luo Chen smiled lightly.
“What do you think?”
“We have no quarrel with you, we,” someone stammered.
“Is that so?”
“But you all just wanted me dead!” Luo Chen slapped that person on the head, and they instantly split apart.
He then looked at Li Fang.
“Please, do not kill me, please.” Li Fang was crying. She was still young, and she did not want to die.
“You are the one who deserves to die most. I helped you, and instead of being grateful, you wanted me dead?” Luo Chen kicked Li Fang in the head. Her skull cracked open like a watermelon.
“Do not kill me. My family has a lot of money. I can give you money in reality.” Zhang Ranran pleaded, looking at Luo Chen.
“Money?”
“No matter how rich you are, you are not richer than me.” Luo Chen shook his head.
“My family is truly very wealthy.” Zhang Ranran pleaded again.
“Are you richer than a billionaire?” Luo Chen sneered.
The moment Luo Chen’s words landed, Zhang Ranran stared at him in shock.
“Are you?” Zhang Ranran instantly understood what Luo Chen meant.
“That no longer concerns you.” Luo Chen kicked and burst Zhang Ranran, showing not a shred of pity.
Afterwards, Luo Chen simply killed the remaining people outright.
Since these people wanted him dead, they had to die.
Just as Luo Chen finished killing them, a group suddenly rushed out. At their head was an old man in white robes, his aura completely restrained, floating about three chi above the ground.
“What outrageous audacity, daring to run wild in my Gudao Sect!” The sect leader of Gudao Sect roared angrily.
“I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Luo Chen was not afraid at all. In fact, he felt a hint of anticipation.
“Very well. In hundreds of years, this is the first time anyone has dared to run wild in my Gudao Sect. Form the array!” The sect leader roared.
Immediately, a large number of people stepped forward and instantly surrounded Luo Chen in specific positions.
If there was one thing Luo Chen hated most, it was certainly formations. After all, formations had made him suffer before!
So upon hearing the word formation, Luo Chen felt an unprovoked surge of anger.
The opponent moved instantly as well. A long sword thrust towards him. Do not let the gentle strike fool you, it carried the weight of Mount Tai. Luo Chen punched the blade, sending sparks flying, sounding like thunder striking a heavenly drum.
The next sword strike arrived immediately, transforming into a rain of blades, as dense and relentless as a midsummer downpour.
Luo Chen charged forward again, his protective aura activating to its full extent instantly.
Ice suddenly formed overhead. Countless swords made of ice instantly stabbed downwards.
Beneath his feet, a raging sea of fire churned, heatwaves rolling like boiling crimson lava.
It was a killing formation. Figures flew wildly within the grand array. Luo Chen casually reached out, finally grabbed one person, and tore them apart directly.
Then with another punch, he blasted another person apart. Instantly, the array showed signs of fracturing.
Seizing the opportunity, Luo Chen struck ruthlessly again, blasting a third person apart with a punch.
“Fall back quickly.” The Gudao Sect leader personally stepped in. “Too late!”
