Li Chen's words were unmasked, and the meaning was clear—you, Shouzi Shenglang, do not have the capability to destroy my lab on your own. You're backed by others, and to think I'm not aware of your limited strength?
"Hmph! Lord Nether King, do you think yourself supremely clever? I know that even though you're injured now, I'm no match for you, but did you think I came alone?"
Having said that, Shouzi Shenglang gestured with a wave of his hand, and soon two people stood beside him.
These two people, Li Chen was very familiar with. Once upon a time, they were his brothers too.
But what Li Chen didn't understand was that the two had just left the base. How did they arrive here so quickly?
"Wild Wolf, Ghost King, have you two truly decided to oppose me?"
As Li Chen spoke, he shook his head. Not that he resented their betrayal, but he felt somewhat sorry for Alice.
Initially, it was he who had introduced Wild Wolf to her. He didn't anticipate that Wild Wolf would betray him now. Given Alice's loyal attitude towards him, she must be feeling quite guilty at this moment.
"A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, rest assured, after your death we will take good care of your burial."
Wild Wolf remained silent, but Ghost King spoke first from beside him, showing no regard for Li Chen, his former leader. Had he forgotten who it was that gave him a meal and money to woo women?
"Heh... Just the two of you dare mention the word 'death' in front of me? You... are not worthy!"
Li Chen extended his index finger and waved it in front of them.
Such blatant contempt immediately annoyed Ghost King and even caused Wild Wolf beside him to look irritated.
"Still so defiant when death is at hand... I want to see how capable you still are!"
After Ghost King spoke, he immediately charged forward. He was known as the Ghost King because of his extremely fast movements, ghost-like, that ordinary people sometimes couldn't even discern how he approached.
Ranked thirty-eighth on the Earth Ranking, Ghost King truly lived up to his name.
However, everything was given by Li Chen, and naturally, he had the right to take it back.
"Hmph!"
Li Chen snorted coldly. Although Ghost King's moves were elusive, was he scared?
He slowly extended his arm, and the dagger in his hand instantly flew out, a glint of cold light...
"Pfft..."
It seemed to hit the air, but the sound of a dagger piercing into flesh was heard.
And in that space, suddenly a shadow appeared, and the shadow was hurled backward. Up close, it was visible that the person had a dagger stuck in his chest, with just the hilt protruding.
A deadly hit, the mighty thirty-eighth ranked master on the Earth Ranking, was killed by Li Chen with a single strike.
Upon seeing this, both Shouzi Shenglang and Wild Wolf were dumbfounded. The information they had was not like this at all. A one-hit kill, Li Chen at this moment was clearly in his prime.
Li Chen, however, was fighting the urge to vomit blood, because this one strike had drained all his strength. If either of the two men made a move, he couldn't possibly withstand it.
The reason he chose to kill Ghost King with a single strike was because that was all he could do, as he couldn't kill the other two with one strike.
Although Ghost King's ranking wasn't low, he had a fatal flaw—that was speed without high martial force.
Against those with lower strength, this flaw might not seem significant, but what about facing someone faster than him? Then this disadvantage would be magnified, and Li Chen was exactly that faster opponent.
Even though he had killed Ghost King with one strike, Li Chen still felt uneasy, not because of Shouzi Shenglang, but because of another person.
But at this moment, he couldn't care about that much anymore. He coldly looked at Shouzi Shenglang and said, "Well? Does anyone else want to continue?"
Although he was completely out of combat power, the momentum around Li Chen was still strong enough to make Shouzi Shenglang and Wild Wolf shiver together.
Shouzi Shenglang was somewhat afraid, but leaving like this, he felt reluctant.
Wild Wolf realized how foolish he had been, foolish for having followed Li Chen for so many years and yet not understanding his true strength.
A single strike had killed the Ghost King!
His martial force was slightly better than Ghost King's, but his speed wasn't as fast as Ghost King's. If the two really fought each other, he had a slight advantage, but he could not inflict substantial damage on Ghost King.
Li Chen was injured, but even so, he still killed Ghost King with a single strike. How terrifying must Li Chen have been in his prime?
It was not until this moment that he understood, the title of King of the Netherworld wasn't given for no reason.
"Nobody move!"
Just then, a crisp voice rang out, its tone indescribably cold.
There were still people around?
Shouzi Shenglang's face showed a panicked expression. Hearing the rustling footsteps around, he exchanged a glance with Wild Wolf and the two quickly retreated backwards.
An Earth Ranking expert, incredibly fast. The likelihood of catching up was very low.
Li Chen did not watch the direction in which the two were escaping but turned around to look behind himself. He saw a woman, all wrapped in black clothing, revealing only a fine figure; her face was not very clear.
Seeing the newcomer, Li Chen's vigilance increased because he felt that this woman was more formidable than Shouzi Shenglang.
"Our esteemed Lord Nether King, what's the matter with you? Why aren't you staying in your Palace of the Nether King instead of coming to Huaxia?"
Mockery, it was definitely mockery.
"Nothing much, just felt that there are quite a few beauties in Huaxia, thought about finding a wife to settle down with, that's all."
Despite the pain in his body, Li Chen said this casually.
Li Chen had been through too many experiences, encountering countless life and death crises. Naturally, he could handle today's situation with ease.
"Oh? So, have you found one yet? Our Huaxia girls are very traditional, they might not take to you."
The woman's voice still carried a tone of mockery, seemingly not very fond of Li Chen.
"Really? I haven't noticed that. I find the girls in Huaxia quite welcoming. When I came here, I just pretended to be a seller of egg-filled pancakes. But you know what happened? A beauty actually said she wanted to marry me. She really is a beauty, her name is Lin Yi. We've already registered our marriage, you know. As for what you said about Huaxia girls being conservative, I don't agree with that. That Lin Yi is quite open; we just had a lengthy battle in the bedroom."
If you look down on me, I will immediately prove you wrong, face to face.
You say Huaxia girls are conservative, but what about my wife then?
"You...don't get too cocky. I'm telling you, this is Huaxia, and as long as you dare to violate the laws here, I guarantee I'll personally arrest you!"
The woman was a bit enraged by Li Chen's teasing yet somewhat helpless.
She dared not treat the King of the Netherworld lightly, even going so far as to scare off those two men earlier because if the King of the Netherworld died in Huaxia, it was likely that the masters from the Palace of the Nether King would tear Huaxia apart.
"What about Huaxia? Don't you know that I am a Huaxia person? This is my motherland!"
"You…"
At this, the woman was stunned by Li Chen's words. The mighty King of the Netherworld was actually a person from Huaxia; this news was too significant, the impact on her immense, and she couldn't accept it immediately.
"You must be a Dragon Soul, right? Do you know someone named Ouyang Wan'er? I want to meet her; can you arrange it?"
Li Chen did not care about the woman's inner shock, expressing his request.
Now that the Z substance was gone, there was probably only one way to control the mysterious power inside his body, and that method was in the hands of a person called Ouyang Wan'er.
"Alright… I can pass on the message for you, but as for whether she wants to see you or not, I can't promise."
After hearing that Li Chen was from Huaxia, the woman's tone improved a lot.
"That's enough; she will definitely meet me. Qilin Princess, your figure is so good, how come your chest is so flat?"
Li Chen said with a laugh and then turned around and walked toward a spot not far away. The woman was still in shock because Li Chen had just called out her name. Qilin Princess, that was her rank on the Earth Ranking.
But hearing the latter half of the remark, her expression changed instantly, though no one could see it.
"Damn it, how dare you say my chest is flat! I was just worried that letting them show would scare you all to death!"
