Chapter 1057: Chapter 1029: Have You Struggled Enough?

This voice appeared so suddenly that many people hadn’t even reacted yet when a black shadow instantly appeared in the arena.

Lan Xili was the first to notice the presence of this shadow. However, the moment he felt this figure, his pupils contracted sharply.

For some unknown reason, an extreme sense of danger frantically alarmed in his heart.

Because of this warning, Lan Xili even disregarded the backlash, retracting his attack at the first moment and quickly withdrew.

Defense! Defense!

This was the only thought in his mind.

And just as he posed his defensive stance, a giant fist appeared before him.

"Boom!!"

Even though he blocked the fist, his body was still uncontrollably blasted down to the ground.

The ground, which had been treated by the Nether Army and was extremely hard, was smashed as if struck by a meteor when Lan Xili hit it, leaving a massive crater.

Lying in the pit, Lan Xili looked incredibly disheveled.

And at this moment, others gradually reacted, looking at the figure in the air with eyes filled with disbelief.

That figure they had searched for arduously and called out for countless times.

"I’m back."

Li Chen said only these four words, yet everyone in the Nether Army couldn’t help but feel tears welling up in their eyes.

He was back.

He had finally returned!

Although when Li Chen was around, he often acted like a boss who didn’t care for others and rarely handled their affairs, only calling everyone together to address major issues.

But as long as he was there, everyone would inexplicably spawn endless courage, as if no enemy could stop them.

He was the backbone of everyone.

Standing high in the sky, Li Chen’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces one by one. When he saw Nether Wolf and Ye Tu, Li Chen’s eyes involuntarily turned somewhat sullen.

He looked coldly towards the pit where Lan Xili was.

"Cough cough!"

With two violent coughs, Lan Xili’s face looked somewhat unsightly.

The previous strike had indeed critically injured him.

Just a single hit that could seriously harm a Black Rope Rank powerhouse like him indicated that the other party’s strength was definitely greater than his.

Even, not just slightly stronger.

Who exactly was this man? Lan Xili was somewhat puzzled.

Previously, from Lan Xigui’s intelligence, he knew this force had no Earth-Level experts, and he also found out some information about this so-called Palace of the Nether King through some channels.

This information...

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Lan Xili seemed to recall something.

"A few months ago, the Palace of the Nether King had a battle with the Allied Forces of the Holy Mountain and the Yu Family. In that battle, it slew and critically injured many disciples of the Holy Mountain and the Yu Family. The vanguard of the Holy Mountain was almost annihilated, and the Yu Family was completely devastated, reduced to a ninth-rate family."

"In that battle, two Earth-Level experts went missing..."

"You... who are you?" Lan Xili looked at Li Chen with a gaze filled with disbelief.

"My name is Li Chen." Li Chen spoke indifferently, "The one who will kill you."

Lan Xili’s eyes were full of amazement.

He had heard of that battle back then, where the leader of the Palace of the Nether King, with profound-level power, forcibly dragged two Earth-Level experts to perish together.

Of course, saying it was perishing together was somewhat inaccurate, but undoubtedly, after that battle, Li Chen indeed killed one Earth-Level expert, and the other went missing with Li Chen.

But now that Li Chen has appeared, it meant...

Lan Xili’s heart suddenly throbbed.

"Has your delusion ended?" Unknowingly, Li Chen had already grasped a blood-red blade in his hand.

"If it’s ended, you can die now." Li Chen said indifferently.

Perhaps, in others’ eyes, an Earth-Level Black Rope was still an unshakeable powerhouse. But in his eyes, it was nothing.

To him now, killing a Black Rope wasn’t really that difficult.

As soon as the words dropped, a blade light suddenly slashed toward the ground.

The blade light wasn’t large, but it precisely locked all directions Lan Xili could move.

There was no escaping it; he could only take it head-on!

"Damn it!"

Grunting in anger, Lan Xili’s face turned somewhat pale.

He didn’t know what Li Chen had gone through, but in just a few months, not only had he advanced from the Profound level to the Earth level, but his cultivation seemed higher than Lan Xili’s. With such a leap, Li Chen clearly had a stroke of fortune.

But, such fortune had nothing to do with him now.

Because, at this moment, he had to block Li Chen’s attack; if he couldn’t, only death awaited!

The killing intent contained within this slash from Li Chen was almost undisguised.

"Ka!!"

Exerting all his might, Lan Xili’s eyes flushed with a bloody hue. In the end, he blocked this slash, but his sword had already shown cracks.

This was not a gap in weapons; it was a gap in strength, a crushing in power!

Li Chen was indeed stronger, so much so that Lan Xili couldn’t fully ward off Li Chen’s blade light, so the attack naturally was transferred to the weapon to withstand.

Lacking the protection of True Qi, how much damage could a weapon endure?

With a loud bang, Lan Xili was forcibly blasted out of the pit, his form soaring into the sky, only to fall back to the ground again.

His body was now covered with mottled bloodstains.

And those around were already stunned.

Even An Qin and Wang Qianqian’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although they firmly believed Li Chen would win, they hadn’t expected the battle to evolve like this.

Li Chen’s strength had already completely exceeded their imagination.

A few months ago, Li Chen had exhausted all his cards to bring down two Earth-Level experts in a ’perish-together’ manner.

But now, in just a few months, upon his return, Li Chen’s strength had progressed to such a terrifying realm?

An Earth-Level Black Rope powerhouse couldn’t last a few rounds in his hands?

The people of the Nether Army, with their strength rising rapidly during this period, had secretly felt a bit proud. However, after witnessing Li Chen’s horrific power, they were filled with waves of shame.

Compared to him, what did their improvements even count for?

Yet, no matter how they felt, Lan Xili’s defeat was already determined.

In comparison to the overwhelming combat power displayed by Li Chen, Lan Xili found it quite strenuous to even barely hold on.

"Have you struggled enough?"

Li Chen’s gaze skimmed over the wound on Nether Wolf’s chest, staring at Lan Xili with a smile lined with chilling murder intent.

"If you’ve struggled enough, may I ask you to die now?"
