Chapter 1275: The Sect Leader is a Prodigy!

Sixteen third-step legendary realm powerhouses, along with the elders of the sect and Frost, suddenly brought the count of third and fourth-step powerhouses in the Southern Heavenly Gate Sect to twenty-seven, nearly doubling that of the Sovereign Sect.

The deep impression and shock that these sixteen third-step legendary realm powerhouses, conjured by Li Zhongnan as if by magic, imparted on everyone from the Sovereign Sect were indelible.

Upon seeing this, Hong Lei set aside the dignity of a fifth-step legendary realm powerhouse and tried to strike at the third-step disciples. Noticing Hong Lei's intent to attack his core disciples, Li Zhongnan immediately teleported in front of Hong Lei and declared word by word, "Your opponent is this Sect Leader!"

With that, Li Zhongnan brought his blade down in a cleave. Hong Lei, in a hurried defense, was struck by the residual force of the blade and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
