Chapter 4: The Attack Comes to the Doorstep
"Bold!"
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Hall of Heavenly Presence?!"
*Bang!*
Outside the Hall of Heavenly Presence, Chu Han's punch turned several guards into a bloody mist, his face radiating an icy and extreme killing intent.
"Oh? Is this... where the Emperor of Li Kingdom resides?"
Chu Han sneered, then swiftly kicked the door of the Hall of Heavenly Presence. In an instant...
*Boom!*
The towering doors, reaching several meters high, shattered into powder and scattered in the air!
"Outrageous!"
Inside the hall, angry shouts echoed as several generals in golden armor swiftly emerged, wielding long swords and pointing them angrily at Chu Han.
But...
*Splurt! Splurt!*
Several blood blossoms bloomed in the most prestigious hall of Li Kingdom. Four generals didn't even have time to scream before Chu Han instantly obliterated them!
These generals were no ordinary individuals; among them, there was even a top-notch expert!
However, in front of Chu Han, they were as fragile as ants, ruthlessly slain in an instant!
"Guards!! Hurry, someone come!! Kill him! Kill him quickly!!"
A panicked minister shouted, his voice filled with fear and despair. He never expected that within the Li Kingdom's imperial palace, someone would dare to be so audacious!
Soon, a large number of imperial guards rushed in from outside the Hall of Heavenly Presence, completely blocking Chu Han's retreat!
"Hehe..."
Chu Han looked at everything before him, a cold and indifferent smile playing on his lips.
"With just these weaklings, do they dare to stop me?!"
*Bang!*
A muffled sound resonated as Chu Han took a step, an overwhelming aura instantly bursting forth, causing the surrounding air to freeze.
"Protect the Emperor!"
At the command, the imperial guards swiftly drew their swords, facing Chu Han with a determined stance to defend the Emperor at all costs.
*Boom!*
A fiercely powerful wave of energy swept through the entire Hall of Heavenly Presence, sending all those imperial guards flying.
*Puff, puff...*
Imperial guards spat out blood, writhing on the ground in continuous agony. Some, even more unfortunate, succumbed to the shockwaves at close range and died!
"Innate... the Innate Realm..."
A general clutched his chest, staring at Chu Han with horrified eyes, a chilling sensation creeping through his heart.
Beyond the realm of supreme masters lay the legendary Innate Realm, a terrifying existence known as a Grandmaster!
When a Grandmaster is angered, blood flows for miles!!!
Now, Chu Han, relying solely on the shockwaves from his physical prowess, had effortlessly repelled hundreds of imperial guards!
This level of power had already surpassed any supreme master!
*Swish, swish, swish!*
The imperial generals exchanged glances, all discerning the astonishment in each other's eyes. They took several steps back, unwilling to approach Chu Han even half a step closer!
"Hehe... the second Grandmaster of Li Kingdom, is it?"
Suddenly, from behind the Hall of Heavenly Presence, a slightly weathered voice echoed. Immediately, a dark figure swiftly appeared, standing between Chu Han and the remaining generals.
The man had a withered countenance, sagging skin resembling old tree roots. Yet, his eyes emitted two gleaming rays, fixed intensely on Chu Han.
"What a potent force of Qi and blood..."
The withered old man mumbled to himself, his gaze towards Chu Han filled with profound greed.
"Elder Wei, kill him!"
The Li Kingdom Emperor, who hadn't spoken before, calmly issued the command, his eyes full of cunning.
"Tsk tsk... it's a shame, truly too much of a pity..."
The old man surnamed Wei shook his head, sighing. In his hand, an ancient-looking long sword slowly lifted, pointing towards Chu Han.
"Die!!!"
With a thunderous shout, he flicked his wrist, and instantly a fiercely sharp sword energy whistled through the air!
"This is..."
Chu Han's eyes narrowed slightly; the technique displayed by the old man before him far exceeded the realm of martial arts cultivation.
"Fleeting Wind Sword, Wind Roar!!"
"Buzz!"
A hurricane-like sword energy surged instantly, roaring towards Chu Han's head with lightning speed.
"Boom!"
Chu Han's figure shifted slightly, and a powerful fist burst out, instantly shattering the hurricane-like sword energy.
In the face of absolute strength, all fanciness and pretense are utterly useless!
"How is it possible, a mere mortal like you! How could you block my attack?"
The old man with the surname Wei stared wide-eyed, incredulously exclaiming, a hint of astonishment and dread flashing in his eyes.
In that sword move of his, he carried the power of true essence. Such power could instantly crush even a massive boulder!
But the person before him...
Merely using his physical body...
Easily blocked his sword move!
"A mere mortal?"
Chu Han lifted a curve at the corner of his mouth, a faint warmth shimmering in his eyes.
He had thought this world was just an ordinary martial arts realm, but it turned out to be something more unexpected...
This world seems far more complicated than he had imagined!
"Boom, rumble, rumble..."
Chu Han moved in an instant, thunderous roars echoing within the Hall of Heavenly Presence.
He tightly grasped the neck of the old man surnamed Wei, his eyes as profound as an abyss, radiating a chilling killing intent that instantly made the old man feel fear and impending death!
"What... what are you going to do?"
The old man surnamed Wei struggled desperately, hoarsely yelling. He could clearly feel the terrifying force in Chu Han's hand!
"Interesting... truly interesting..."
On the old man's body, Chu Han sensed a force resisting his strength, making him extremely excited!
Spiritual Energy? Martial Qi? Or perhaps True Essence?
Words from his past life flashed through Chu Han's mind, prompting him to increase the force in his hands once again!
"Crack, crack..."
With the sound of bones breaking, the struggles of the old man surnamed Wei abruptly ceased, his body instantly stiffening, and his breath dissipating...
"Splash!"
Witnessing this, the group of guards collectively paled, their bodies involuntarily trembling!
He's dead!!
That was the legendary Imperial Teacher, the true strongest in the Li Kingdom!
How could this be... how is this possible?!
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Chu Han also noticed something unusual in his hand. He casually threw the body of the old man surnamed Wei to the ground, furrowing his brows in slight confusion, and silently wondered:
"So weak? I clearly used less than a tenth of my strength..."
Chu Han's heart stirred with a subtle thought. Previously... on his path of slaughter, the guards and imperial guards who died at his hands... had already surpassed a thousand in number.
And he had allocated all those attribute points to strength, and now his strength... had reached an unprecedented peak!
[Strength: 1080]
A terrifying strength of two hundred and sixty thousand kilograms!
