As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

In Cao Guang's tightly drawn eyes, a sudden burst of tension and urgency erupted...

"So it's Senior Li, Qingshan's renown is indeed as loud as thunder... Who in the martial world does not know?"

"I'll take my leave now."

After speaking, Cao Guang quickly grabbed Cao Qingyuan and disappeared swiftly.

Leaving behind Zhang Xiangyang lying in the wet ground, drenched and utterly despondent.

Zhang Xiangyang struggled to get up, then looked up into the deep gaze of Li Che.

It seemed...

There was a hint of greed and desire in that gaze.

Zhang Xiangyang hurriedly scrambled away and ran wildly through the rain.

As he turned his back on Li Che...

Every hair on Zhang Xiangyang's body stood on end, a familiar feeling, like when Zhou Ruoguan was killed, the feeling of frantically fleeing!

The feeling that his head could explode from a strike at any moment!

Li Che... must be the Bull Demon!

He must be!

Li Che regretfully withdrew his gaze.

Yet, he looked with a touch of astonishment towards Qingshan, who was arranging a chess game under the eave.

The reaction of City Lord Cao Guang, Li Che felt it very clearly.

"Qingshan..."

"Is he that famous?"

Li Che couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

While Li Che was marveling at Qingshan, Qingshan himself was somewhat astonished as well.

He was astonished that... Li Che had actually killed the Yang Family's Divine Base!

Nurturing Nature killed Divine Base...

Ignoring the rank difference?!

Could Li Che actually accomplish this? The rank of the Divinity he cultivated wasn't that high, was it? Nor was it one of the Four Imperials Level, like the "Fury Prince" that Lu Chi cultivated!

The most important thing was...

After killing Yang Jing, when did Li Che return to the study?

When Li Che came out from the study looking elegant and learned, Qingshan was taken aback, thinking that the Bull Demon was someone else.

But after thinking carefully, it could only be attributed to Li Che's technique of concealing his vital energy, able to evade the perception of the Divine Base, a truly divine method indeed.

"How did you manage that, boy?"

Qingshan asked, of course, he was referring to how he killed the Divine Base.

Li Che smiled gently and spread his hands.

Honest, but not entirely.

"It's the mechanism."

...

...

After Qingshan left, Li Che comforted his wife, Zhang Ya, who looked worried, and then went to the study.

The Chess Saint's Dao Fruit vibrated slightly, expanding the chessboard network, covering the surroundings, ensuring no powerful being was spying, all was safe and sound.

Only then did Li Che sit in the wooden chair, relaxed his body completely, and let out a long sigh.

In the room, the charcoal stove burned quietly, releasing heat and dispelling the biting cold.

Every muscle in Li Che's body relaxed with cracking sounds.

The battle with the Divine Base was very refreshing!

"Divine Base Cultivator is indeed strong, combined two types of Divinity, still not enough compared to Divine Base, but... The 'Bodhi Blood Tears' far surpassed my expectations, its penetration power, explosiveness, and killing potential all were much higher than the Wood Raven!"

"It seems that 'Namo Barrett' has some good points..."

Li Che grinned.

But what made him even more emotionally stirred was...

With a move of his mind.

A hint of flowing light appeared.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV2,97%)]

"High-pressure stimulation has a great effect on the maturation of [Dragon Elephant Vajra]... only 3% to go."

Li Che's eyes shone brightly.

Without any hesitation, using the complementary properties of the Dao Fruit, he channeled the Divinity of [Pure Heart] Dao Fruit into [Dragon Elephant Vajra], completing the Dao Fruit!

The next moment, Li Che felt as if the blood under his skin was boiling.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed before his eyes!
