Chapter 1021: Chapter 993: Returning to Kalin Village

Although Li Chen can feel the terrifying energy hidden in his blood, unfortunately, he can’t freely use it now.

Or rather, he can’t use it now.

This situation of too much blood isn’t about the amount of blood in Li Chen’s body; if it were a volume problem, wouldn’t releasing some blood solve it?

The issue with Li Chen lies in the quality of his blood, which is excessively high.

Li Chen’s original blood has completely fused with the Blood of Heaven, forming a new blood with a highly concentrated density, which also contains extremely high energy.

So high that... it’s almost enough to leave him half-paralyzed.

"Damn, doesn’t that mean I’m like Tang Sanzang now, and whatever absorbs a bit of my blood can increase its cultivation considerably?" Li Chen thought with some helplessness.

However, Li Chen has some psychological comfort.

And that is, he has finally retrieved the Red Moon.

As a weapon that has been with him since he stepped into the ranks of Martial Artists, having this old companion by his side makes Li Chen feel exceedingly secure.

Although he has now roughly grasped the principle of the Red Moon in stimulating his own potential. It could even be said that after the last incident, Li Chen now can use that method of explosive combat power even without the Red Moon.

Still, holding the Red Moon makes Li Chen feel exceptionally confident.

"Oh well, take it one step at a time." Li Chen slowly turned his head, looking at Cherie, who had similarly fallen into a deep sleep beside him.

Cherie was tired, very tired.

From the time she was brought to the Earth Demon Clan, Cherie hadn’t had much rest and had even faced multiple threats and intimidation, leaving her increasingly dispirited.

After witnessing the battle between Li Chen and Elvis, Cherie had reached the peak of exhaustion.

Originally, she wanted to stay by Li Chen’s side until he woke up.

But for some reason, when she sat beside Li Chen, she could smell an extraordinarily comforting scent coming from him.

The more she smelled it, the more she couldn’t help but fall asleep.

In her sleep, Cherie remained as clear and beautiful as a kitten.

Looking at Cherie, Li Chen involuntarily thought of another girl, and his fist clenched unwittingly.

"I said, I won’t let this happen again."

A certain change arose in Li Chen’s heart unconsciously.

In an instant, Li Chen felt that his thoughts had cleared considerably.

Indeed, after becoming a Lucid Body, Li Chen no longer faced any significant obstacles in his cultivation.

However, these obstacles only refer to the small barriers that can be overcome once the cultivation is achieved.

Such profound and earth-level gaps are not merely overcome with sufficient cultivation and True Qi alone.

State of Mind is also a crucial key.

When deciding to drag Luo Kai and Yu Manfang to their deaths, Li Chen’s mindset underwent a peculiar change.

It’s not that he’s seeing through life and death, but he understands what’s more important than life and death.

Some things are worth protecting with one’s life.

Lilith made it, and he... can finally do it too.

Li Chen’s face bore a faint smile, as he thought of his wife, friends, and family in Linchuan.

"Don’t worry, wait for me, I will surely return."

However, it’s clear that returning isn’t something done just by saying it.

Li Chen still hasn’t figured out what exactly this world is about. A super-large enchanted world?

"What a pity I acted too heavily just now, otherwise I might have gotten some information," Li Chen thought, seemingly unconcerned about the previous life-or-death moment.

For him, he’s encountered even more desperate situations, not to mention he’s already an Earth-level Expert; even if he hadn’t broken through, past events would no longer weigh on his mind.

"This Earth Demon Territory is obviously untenable, it seems I need to find out the way to other places." Li Chen contemplated.

Only after Cherie woke up did Li Chen rise and leave with her.

This time, Li Chen did not hurry but instead walked slowly with Cherie in the direction of Kalin Village.

One reason is that he has returned to his half-dead state, and also there’s total chaos now with most of the Earth Demon Clan’s high-ranking members dead, so there’s no fear of anyone interrogating them.

Thus, the cripple and the girl walked leisurely for several days and finally arrived back at Kalin Village.

"Cherie? Why have you returned?"

The people of Kalin Village noticed their arrival and couldn’t help but ask with shock.

Upon noticing that the person beside Cherie was actually Li Chen, the villagers of Kalin Village felt all the more awkward.

A few villagers dragged Cherie over and whispered, "Cherie, what’s the matter? Weren’t you taken by the Earth Demon Clan? Why have you returned? Could it be that the Earth Demon Clan wasn’t interested in you?"

"It’s over, it’s over, Kalin Village is doomed!"

"Without the Earth Demon Clan’s protection, how can we deal with those strong ones from other races!"

"That’s not even the most crucial part; if the Earth Demon Clan holds a grudge and sends someone to retaliate..."

"We might be even worse off!"

The villagers of Kalin Village were completely unaware that the high-ranking members of the Earth Demon Clan had all been slaughtered by the young man before them, who leaned on a cane.

This was a man far more terrifying than the Earth Demon Clan.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly spoke up: "Don’t worry. In the future, without the Earth Demon Clan’s protection, you’ll be fine."

"Hmm?"

A group of villagers of Kalin Village looked at Li Chen, unsure of what he meant.

"How is that possible? Kalin Village, although on Earth Demon Clan territory, is considered safe, but occasionally other race’s powerful individuals pass by. If they decide to act against us, without the Earth Demon Clan’s protection, we have no resistance whatsoever."

Li Chen smiled, said nothing, and began walking slowly around the perimeter of Kalin Village, supporting himself with the cane.

His movements were very slow, but every few steps he would casually drop a stone.

These stones looked quite ordinary yet contained energy.

These are energy stones, or in other words, what Li Chen once heard at the marketplace... Spirit Stones!

Being called differently, yet the function remains the same.

When killing Elvis, Li Chen also conveniently looted his belongings.

Including a full sack of spirit stones, over a hundred, each brimming with energy!

According to Li Chen’s estimation, these are at least a hundredfold more advanced than the lower-grade energy stones he obtained when selling pills.

However, these energy stones were casually tossed around the perimeter of Kalin Village as if they were rubbish.

Of course, he wasn’t just casually throwing rubbish.

He was setting up a formation!
