440: Three Heroes vs. Xiantian (I)

With his previous experience, Qing Li already had countermeasures.

After the East Sea Sword Saint used that same sword move again, it was no longer as effective.

After a few short exchanges, he was also sent flying.

"They're all damn bastards!"

Chen De couldn't help but curse under his breath, as it was finally his turn to fight.

He didn't know why, but the hostility he saw in Qing Li's eyes towards him was completely absent when Qing Li looked at the other two.

Especially seeing that relentless gaze, if Chen De didn't know he was innocent, he would have to wonder if he had, ahem, done something to Qing Li's mother.

"It's finally your turn."

Facing Chen De, Qing Li finally spoke a rare sentence.

Chen De nodded, "Yes, it's finally our turn."

"It seems this peak battle of the lower plane will ultimately fall to the two of us."

"Thinking back to then..."

As he spoke, Chen De became inexplicably emotional, delivering a lengthy opening monologue.

He spoke of how good a person he was, how much hardship he had endured since birth, and how difficult it was to reach where he was today.

It's hard to be a good person; he had never taken a life in his entire existence, and not a single innocent person had died by his hand.

It's pitiful that good people like him are often bullied… He spoke with such sorrow, bringing tears to the eyes of those who saw and heard him, even the dogs passing by would be moved.

Myriad Gods's ears were almost calloused from listening, hearing the same few sentences repeated over and over, all emphasizing how high his morals were.

When he first arrived, did Chen De think Qing Li was blind to the things he did in front of him?

He even added a line, something about accidental killings not counting.

Finally, Qing Li couldn't take it anymore; he wanted to directly attack and kill this guy he found so annoying. "You..."

At that moment, Chen De's terrifying, long-prepared strike came down on Qing Li.

The black liquid's ability to conceal aura was extremely outstanding; as long as it wasn't during combat, it was difficult for any enemy to notice his small movements.

Due to his fighting style being completely different from the two upfront fighters just now, Qing Li was also severely struck by Chen De's attack.

An earth-shattering explosion spread out.

Myriad Gods and the East Sea Sword Saint, who had long since returned and were secretly watching from the side, saw this.

Myriad Gods was deeply moved, "How insidious!"

The East Sea Sword Saint's head also imperceptibly nodded upon hearing this.

The movement was so slight that no one could notice it.

He had repelled others several times and repelled Qing Li for the first time.

Undoubtedly, Chen De's record at this moment was the strongest among the three, and he had also caused the most damage to Qing Li.

Then, just like the East Sea Sword Saint earlier, he seized the opportunity to press the attack, striking while the iron was hot.

As the smoke cleared, a crack was clearly visible on Qing Li's armor, a masterpiece of Chen De's doing.

One powerful attack after another struck Qing Li, but the battle inevitably fell into a disadvantage.

The reason was simple: whether in terms of raw power or mechanics, he truly couldn't compete.

In these two aspects, Qing Li was a significant step above all three of them.

Furthermore, being born with innate knowledge, his combat experience was extremely rich.

It was only because he had just been born and was not yet skilled in human affairs that Chen De managed to trick him.

As Chen De was completely suppressed by Qing Li, he quickly found a topic to ease the atmosphere.

"Uh... that was just for fun."

"I see everyone had a lot of fun today, so see you tomorrow, alright!"

"It was just a joke, you're not going to be a sore loser, are you? Haha, haha..."

Seeing the attacks he was receiving grow heavier and heavier, Chen De knew he couldn't continue like this.

Those two guys must have returned long ago and were deliberately watching, their intentions were not pure!

So, in a moment of error, Chen De was also sent flying.

But facing Chen De, Qing Li seemed to harbor immense hatred, directly pursuing him and continuing to mercilessly beat him.

Moreover, Chen De felt that he was finding it increasingly difficult to parry, and Qing Li's strength was also growing stronger.

The power of innate origin was incredibly strong, especially in a lower plane; it brought Qing Li an unparalleled and crushing advantage.

The injuries he sustained from the Immortal's strike just now were also recovering at an extremely fast rate.

Finally, he seemed to quickly reach a critical point, which was ninety percent of his combat power when he was first born.

The remaining ten percent was concentrated Immortal-level damage, and the only way to remove this damage was to break through to the Immortal Realm.

Immortal!

For powerhouses of the Mortal Realm, the damage inflicted by an Immortal-level powerhouse was immortal.

It would persist for a long time, no matter how much time passed, or how much the power of the Mortal Realm tried to erode it.

It remained completely unmoved, unchanged.

It was the same as when it was first struck, and it would be the same countless years later; no Mortal Realm healing method was effective.

Apart from this, they could recover from any other Mortal Realm damage at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, innate origin also counted as an Immortal-level existence.

Unfortunately, Qing Li was only in the Mortal Realm now, and the extent to which he could recover was extremely limited.

He could only slowly wear down and recover from these immortal injuries at an extremely slow pace.

Chen De immediately felt immense pressure; Qing Li was incomparably stronger than before.

Every slap he delivered could make Chen De vomit blood.

If not for the Evil God Essence, he would not be injured and would feel no pain; he would have been beaten to death by now.

Suddenly, Chen De felt an extremely dangerous aura.

A cyan-gold beam of light pierced through his chest; any means he tried to use in between were futile.

Whether it was offense, blade intent, or defense... anything that touched the light beam would be destroyed with overwhelming force.

Chen De's body stiffened. He lowered his head and stared blankly at the hole in his torso, through which he could see the scene behind him.

Immediately after, Qing Li rushed forward and tore Chen De in half.

Bright red blood splattered everywhere, staining this small area red.

After perceiving that this body no longer had any vitality, he shredded it once more and casually threw it on the ground.

"How terrifying!" Myriad Gods, who was peeking, covered his mouth and exclaimed.

"Too brutal." Chen De, standing nearby, also agreed with a similar expression.

Myriad Gods pondered for a moment, then spoke, "He's so strong, what should we do next?"

Myriad Gods felt no surprise at Chen De reappearing before him.

Because he already knew that Chen De possessed a very powerful substitution divine ability.

As for his indifference to Chen De being brutally beaten just now, he felt no embarrassment whatsoever.

He remained calm and composed, with no change in his attitude or words.

As for whether Chen De's substitution divine ability would be effective, Myriad Gods didn't care, and no one else would care besides Chen De himself.

Chen De also didn't mention this matter at all after he returned.

The East Sea Sword Saint then spoke, "We can't let this guy leave."

The three deeply agreed, because Qing Li was indeed their last chance to break through the Mortal Realm.
