Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 115 - 115 114 The Person Who Walked Out of the Painting

115: Chapter 114: The Person Who Walked Out of the Painting 115: Chapter 114: The Person Who Walked Out of the Painting “Ah, we who come from poor families, spend our days running around just to survive, lacking much energy and financial means to pursue such elegant arts like calligraphy.

This is the best I can do, sorry for the embarrassment!”

Li Chen patted Bai Qianshui’s shoulder, revealing an innocent and harmless smile.

Bai Qianshui’s face turned iron blue, he almost looked like he was about to drip water.

These were the mocking words he had just said to Li Chen, and unexpectedly, in just ten minutes, Li Chen threw them right back at him.

People just casually wrote it in between surviving and it’s still better than what you’ve produced after spending a fortune to invite famous teachers and practicing hard for twenty years.

It’s so awesome that you can’t even argue with it!

Bai Qianshui looked at Li Chen, feeling an overwhelming sense of insignificance as if he were looking up at the towering Tai Mountain.

His vision darkened, and forcing himself to stand, he said to Lin Chen: “Teacher, I suddenly feel unwell, I will take my leave first!”

After that, he staggered away, leaning on the table.

At this moment, he was as embarassed as a stray dog, nowhere near the high and mighty, graceful young master of previous days.

Seeing his high disciple’s embarassed figure, Lin Chen sighed softly.

“Ah, Qianshui has been hit hard this time, I’m afraid he won’t have the courage to pick up a brush again!”

Li Chen shrugged nonchalantly and said, “It has nothing to do with me; he insisted I write it!”

Lin Chen gave Li Chen a salute between equals, and said, “An old man like me is short-sighted and failed to recognize a True Dragon.

I’ve offended you greatly, please forgive the transgression, young brother!”

Lin Chen was formerly the Vice Minister of the Central Culture Department and a great scholar of this era; even governors couldn’t expect such respect from him.

However, Li Chen accepted it calmly, nodding slightly in response.

In his previous life, he was the supreme Immortal Emperor, and everyone he associated with dominated galaxies.

For ordinary people, meeting him was truly as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Grandpa Wu saw that Elder Lin interacted humbly and Li Chen, a junior, accepted it calmly, which darkened his expression.

“Young friend Li Chen, although you have made some achievements in calligraphy, you should not be so proud and dismissive.

No matter what, Mr.

Lin is your elder.

Do you think your behavior is appropriate?”

Li Chen smiled faintly and asked, “Why, do you have a problem with that?”

Seeing a young man daring to talk back, Grandpa Wu’s face turned even darker.

“Hmph, young man, I’ve traveled all around, and I’ve seen many geniuses like you.

Many of them fell midway or faded into obscurity.”

“Out of appreciation for your talent, today I’ll give you eight words: ‘The rigid breaks easily, the flexible endure long’.

I hope you truly understand them and do not waste Heaven’s grace!”

Li Chen listened to Grandpa Wu’s lecture with a smile, not saying a word.

Seeing that Li Chen didn’t take his words to heart, Grandpa Wu burst into anger and shouted, “What are you laughing at?”

Li Chen responded, “I’m laughing at your ignorance and arrogance!”

Grandpa Wu in fury: “What did you say I am ignorant and arrogant?”

Li Chen nodded and confirmed, “Yes, that’s right.

But, it’s not entirely your fault.

After all, your abilities are limited; the ‘heaven’ you are capable of seeing is just that miniscule.”

Grandpa Wu, beside himself with rage: “Despicable, ignorant child, today I shall open your eyes to see there are mountains beyond mountains, and heavens beyond skies!”

Before his words fell, he formed a Sealing Technique with both hands, pointing at ‘Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection’ on the table, and commanded, “Rise!”

Suddenly, the calligraphy piece appeared to come to life, slowly levitating.

Everyone, including Elder Lin and others, were dumbstruck by Grandpa Wu’s display.

Lin Xuanfei’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Wow, the script flew up.

Grandpa Wu, is this a magic trick?

So amazing!”

Grandpa Wu hummed proudly, hoping to see a shocked expression on Li Chen’s face.

Unfortunately, Li Chen remained unphased, without a ripple of surprise.

“Ah, I thought it was some extraordinary ability, but it turns out to be just a common object manipulation technique.

A minor skill daring to show off in front of an expert?”

Seeing that Li Chen recognized his skill instantly, Grandpa Wu was secretly alarmed.

“You know Taoist techniques, too?”

Li Chen smiled faintly and said, “A little, just a little!”

After speaking, he casually added, “Maybe just a tad stronger than yours!”

Grandpa Wu was furious, but he was powerless to do anything.

He couldn’t possibly act rashly against a junior just for those few words, could he?

Lin Xuanfei privately pulled Li Chen’s sleeve and whispered with a slight rebuke, “Can’t you be a bit more tactful when speaking?”

Li Chen responded with a wry smile, “That’s just my nature, I’m used to it!”

Lin Xuanfei rolled her eyes and muttered, “Show-off!”

Then, she got up and walked inside.

Li Chen glanced at the wall clock; it was 22:58.

Only 2 minutes left until midnight.

Immediately, he grabbed Lin Xuanfei’s soft, boneless hand.

Lin Xuanfei was startled by Li Chen’s sudden affectionate gesture, her pretty face blushing.

Her heart thumped wildly like a deer in dismay.

“I was going to the restroom, why did you grab me?”

Li Chen’s expression was grave as he responded, “She’s here!”

Lin Xuanfei looked bewildered, blinking her eyes and asked, “Who’s here?”

Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden cold wind arose, rattling the doors and windows.

“Zzzz, zzzz!”

The crystal chandelier swayed back and forth, casting glaring sparks.

Mrs.

Lin looked at the chandelier, puzzled, and said, “Strange, why did the power go out all of a sudden?”

Wu Yuan, who was skilled in magic, had a grim expression as icy as frost, and he urgently exclaimed, “Not good, this is a Yin wind.

Today is the Ghost Festival, there must be a Yin Spirit causing trouble!”

As he spoke, he drew the peach wood sword he carried with him and swung it in the air.

“What kind of demon dares to mess around in front of me, show yourself right now?”

Just then, the Prime Tang Court Ladies Painting hanging on the wall was suddenly lifted by the Yin wind.

The maidens in the painting began to dance gracefully, their eyes emitting a ghostly green glow.

Lin Bei, one of Mr.

Lin’s personal bodyguards and an Inner Strength Master, saw the critical situation and immediately drew the gun from his waist, pulling the trigger in rapid succession.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Three bullets, with their dazzling arcs, flew towards the painting.

However, just five centimeters away from the painting, they suddenly stopped.

Then, eerily, the bullets turned direction and traced their original path back.

“Ah!”

Lin Bei was hit by the bullets, cried out in pain, and fell with a thud.

“This is a Yin Spirit, ordinary bullets can’t harm her, let me handle this!”

Wu Yuan roared, lifted the peach wood sword, and slashed towards the painting.

However, after just three exchanges, he was bounced back like a kite with its string cut.

“Hehehe, who would have expected that I would encounter a pure Yin female just when I escaped into the daylight!”

The painting let out a strange, eerie laugh as a figure emerged from it.

It was a beautiful young woman dressed in Prime Tang ancient garb, her long hair danced without wind, her complexion pale as paper, devoid of any color, her nails long and sharp, dyed red with cardamom, sending chills down the spine.

Lin Xuanfei, having never seen such a scene before, was terrified and panic-stricken, her legs went weak, and she was unable to move.

Seeing the Yin Spirit from the painting charging towards her, Lin Xuanfei’s grandfather and mother both cried out.

“Feifei, Feifei!”

Just as Lin Xuanfei felt despair, Li Chen suddenly grasped her chilling, boneless little hand.

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid!”

Just four words, yet they warmed Lin Xuanfei’s heart and gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

Li Chen stared at the Yin Spirit in the painting, shook his head with a smile, and said, “Seeing me here, you shouldn’t have come out!”

Having said that, he abruptly slapped the table.

On it was the character scroll he had just written: “Murder Song!”

The character scroll shone with golden brilliance, like a Taoist talisman, containing endless True Essence Spiritual Power.

Upon seeing the character scroll, the expression of the Yin Spirit in the painting turned drastically, instinctively backing away.

“Thinking of leaving now, isn’t it a bit late?”

After saying that, Li Chen waved his sleeve and squeezed out a word laced with killing intent from between his teeth.

“Kill!”

The entirety of the “Murder Song” character scroll had thirteen “kill” characters, arranged according to the Innate Eight Diagram positions, trapping the Yin Spirit within them.

“Kill again!”

“Three kills!”

…

“Thirteen kills!”

For every “kill” Li Chen shouted, a golden glowing [kill] character burst out from the character scroll, transforming into a blade of light, slashing towards the Yin Spirit.

After thirteen consecutive [kill] characters, the Yin Spirit cried to the sky and was annihilated.

The Yin wind abruptly stopped, and the Prime Tang Court Ladies Painting also fell to the ground.

Had the hall not remained in disarray, nobody would dare believe such a bizarre event had occurred.

Li Chen clapped his hands, stepped forward to pick up the painting, and said nonchalantly, “It’s done, nothing to worry about now!”
