Chapter 2443: Chapter 2411

A smile brings the warmth of spring and blossoms.

A smile brings the downfall of kingdoms and cities.

Few have truly witnessed what it means to bring down kingdoms and cities.

Yet, when they saw Autumn Water Dao Saint smile, they finally understood what true beauty looks like.

Nearly everyone lost their focus the moment Autumn Water Dao Saint began to speak.

When that intangible power of enchantment fully unfolded, no one could resist.

Even the powerful Dao Saints like Leiyang and Tao Wu, experienced a momentary lapse.

However, there were two individuals present who remained unaffected.

One was the taciturn Mie Xing Dao Saint.

The other one was Li Chen.

When the power of enchantment reached Li Chen’s presence, even penetrating into his body, he neither resisted nor showed the captivated expression of someone enchanted; instead, he merely smiled.

The smile... appeared somewhat neurotic.

"Not good!"

In the sea of consciousness, the Seven Realms Tome spoke with a solemn tone.

Because the Seven Realms Tome had sensed the agitation within Li Chen’s Divine Soul.

There’s no way around it; this is still a side effect left by the black qi. Although eight million years of memories were cut out, preventing further complications and symptoms, the side effects Li Chen previously contracted weren’t easily eradicated.

If stimulated too intensely within the Divine Soul, Li Chen would fall into an unpredictable state.

In this state, if one were to describe Li Chen with the most accurate term, it would be... madman.

No one knows what a madman, especially one with terrifying power within his body, would do in such a frenzied state.

"Calm down!!"

The Seven Realms Tome pressed atop Li Chen’s Divine Soul, trying with all its might to suppress the signs of rampage, yet Li Chen’s Divine Soul began to struggle wildly.

Outside the sea of consciousness, Li Chen’s neurotic smile deepened.

For some unknown reason, Autumn Water Dao Saint, who originally intended to enchant Li Chen with her body’s Divine Skills, suddenly restrained her smile.

Because a vague sense of foreboding had arisen within her heart.

And this feeling was brought on by the increasingly peculiar smile of the white-haired youth.

Wasn’t he supposed to have already fallen into a realm of fantasy? How is he still standing there?

How is he still able to smile at her?

Autumn Water Dao Saint saw clearly, he was indeed smiling at her!

But within that smile, there was a madness even Autumn Water Dao Saint herself couldn’t comprehend.

She didn’t know what sort of existence she had provoked.

"Wake up!! Snap out of it!!" Seven Realms Tome exploded with golden light, forcefully suppressing Li Chen’s Divine Soul to prevent it from going out of control, simultaneously notifying Red Moon.

"Red Moon, step out, the old way!"

"Alright!" Red Moon knew that it was a crisis moment and couldn’t hesitate. Directly appearing outside Li Chen’s body, she transformed into a blood-colored long saber.

Just as a few awakened Dao Saints wondered why a saber appeared, they saw the blood-colored long saber suddenly stab into Li Chen’s body.

Piercing through front and back.

"What?!"

"Who made a sneak attack?!"

Leiyang Dao Saint was the first to react with anger.

With so many Dao Saints present, how could anyone dare to recklessly launch a sneak attack?! It was as if they were being overlooked!

Wusheng Dao Saint’s gaze shifted, first landing on Autumn Water Dao Saint.

Seeing Wusheng Dao Saint’s gaze, others seemed to understand and also looked towards Autumn Water Dao Saint.

"Autumn Water Taoist Friend, you’ve gone too far!" Even Saint Tao Wu couldn’t resist furrowing his brows.

They were Dao Saints, proud beings with dignity.

In secret, they might employ small tricks, but with so many watching them now.

Clearly a reasoning debate, yet Autumn Water Dao Saint launched an attack; if word spread, their reputations would surely be ruined.

"I didn’t launch any sneak attack." Autumn Water Dao Saint also furrowed her brows: "I merely released the power of my Charm Body, intending to teach this guy a little lesson. As for the saber, it absolutely wasn’t my doing! I’m willing to swear by my own Dao!"

"Swearing by your own Dao?" Hearing Autumn Water Dao Saint’s words, everyone exchanged skeptical glances.

Swearing by one’s own Dao was no trivial matter; breaking such a promise could damage one’s Dao Heart, even leading one’s Dao to disintegrate.

As a Dao Saint, to swear by one’s own Dao carried certain credibility.

Still, if it wasn’t done by Autumn Water Dao Saint, then who?

At this moment, everyone saw Li Chen slowly raising his head. His complexion was pale, yet no blood was seeping out.

Looking at those around him, Li Chen shook his head slowly: "It wasn’t Autumn Water Dao Saint’s doing."

Not her?

Could there be others lurking, ready to strike at them?

Leiyang and others immediately became vigilant.

"However, though it wasn’t Autumn Water Dao Saint’s doing, it was still closely tied to her." Li Chen spoke softly.

"I only used a bit of Charming Skill on you." Autumn Water Dao Saint replied calmly.

Reaching her grade, even if she made an error, humility wasn’t necessary.

Even if her opponent was also a Dao Saint!

"Indeed, just a little bit of Charming Skill." Li Chen nodded: "But even a little bit from you, Autumn Water Taoist Friend, I am unwilling to endure. So... I stabbed myself."

Stabbed himself?

The crowd couldn’t help but look at Li Chen with strange gazes.

Just because he refused to endure Autumn Water Dao Saint’s Charming Skill, he directly stabbed himself?

Moreover, everyone could see this stab was mercilessly thorough, piercing through Li Chen’s chest.

Nonetheless, they didn’t know Red Moon was lenient.

After all, compared with Li Chen the impostor, Red Moon was the genuine Dao Saint powerhouse!

But in her weapon state, Red Moon wasn’t recognizable to anyone.

Slowly drawing the saber from his body, Li Chen calmly put away Red Moon.

Eerily, after Li Chen removed the saber, the ’hole’ in his clothes from the stab was spontaneously mended by the robe laced with dark qi and golden patterns.

"Tao Wu Taoist Friend, clearly even with many watching us, there’s still someone unwilling to have a fair challenge." Li Chen coldly said to Tao Wu with a hint of irony.

Saint Tao Wu’s face darkened.

To be sarcastically challenged with hardly any retort was infuriating beyond measure.

Still, Autumn Water Dao Saint disobeyed the rules, yet this was true.

For a moment, Tao Wu was overwhelmingly frustrated.
