Chapter 85. The ruthless Li Chen.

As soon as Elder Liang Feng's shout echoed through the air, a wave of readiness swept over the two thousand disciples of the Heavenly Court.

Gripping their weapons tightly, they assumed their battle stances, primed and ready for the impending conflict.

Suddenly, an ominous wave of souls from the shadow-bound legion descended upon them, their numbers vastly outnumbering the combined forces of the Heavenly Court disciples and the twelve esteemed elders. The speed at which they swooped down was nothing short of terrifying.

Caught in the direct path of the onslaught was Elder Chen Xiu, who was closest to the epicenter of the event, where Li Chen was standing.

As if responding to the imminent threat, Chen Xiu's body instantly ignited with an intense golden glow. His clenched fist, radiating an even brighter light, shot forward with an indomitable force and speed. "Die, you loathsome wretches!" he bellowed, his voice as powerful as his punch.
