Chapter 1058: Chapter 1030: The Foregone Waves Crushed by the New Wave

Li Chen’s current strength had clearly surpassed what Lan Xili could handle.

Watching Li Chen walking towards him step by step, Lan Xili couldn’t help but show a bitter smile on his face: "I was just talking about how the Yangtze River’s waves push forward, but I didn’t expect to be washed up on the beach myself so quickly."

Indeed, compared to Zi Zhao, he could be considered the junior.

But as a junior, age-wise, he would undeniably be a great-grandfather figure in the outside world.

But how old was Li Chen?

When Lan Xili investigated the Palace of the Nether King, he also casually looked into some information about Li Chen.

However, all the data showed that this leader-level figure of the Palace of the Nether King was undoubtedly a young man not over thirty.

In the world of Martial Artists, he could perhaps be considered no more than a mere child.

Yet this ’mere child’ was incredibly strong, so much so that he could completely crush him.

The saying that the Yangtze River’s waves push forward was certainly true, but he hadn’t anticipated being washed up so quickly.

Thinking about it, Lan Xili felt somewhat helpless, perhaps he had been washed up once twenty years ago?

Only, at that time...

"A Li!"

At this moment, an angry shout came from the side.

Li Chen slightly turned his head, his hand twirling Hong Yue, then reversing to grip the handle and slashing out.

"Clang!"

The blade of Hong Yue clashed with a short rod.

Lan Xigui, who suddenly darted out from the side, was forced back over ten meters, while Li Chen remained where he stood, only his body slightly trembling.

"You..."

Looking at Li Chen, Lan Xigui’s face darkened.

With just one exchange, he realized he was no match for the man before him.

Although he was Lan Xili’s elder brother, and indeed stronger than Lan Xili by a bit, that bit wasn’t enough to bridge the enormous gap between him and Li Chen.

"I say, big brother, are you out of your mind?" At this moment, Lan Xili glanced at Lan Xigui, his face full of peculiarity.

"We’ve been at odds since childhood, fought for decades, and still can’t stand each other, yet you came to help me?" Lan Xili’s eyes seemed incredulous.

But Lan Xigui merely stared silently at Li Chen, without even turning his head.

Seeing Lan Xigui’s response, Lan Xili sighed and said, "Big brother, why bother? You know you’re not his match. At this time, shouldn’t you hurry and shake off that old guy Zi Zhao, take the family members, hide away to train, and wait for revenge later?"

"Was your head caught in a door?"

Lan Xili was always an anomaly in the Lan Family. In terms of talent, he wasn’t inferior to Lan Xigui, perhaps even stronger, but he didn’t love training as much.

Due to a conflict, Lan Xili even left the Lan Family, wandering around the outside world and the Enchanted World.

And Lan Xigui never once looked directly at his brother.

But now, Lan Xigui still stood up, blocking in front of Lan Xili, without a word.

Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged, even if the one before him had countless shining points, an enemy was an enemy.

On the short rod, flames gradually ignited.

On Li Chen’s Hong Yue, the blood-red hue also began to surge.

In the next moment, the two suddenly sprang into action.

"Clang clang clang..."

In mid-air, a continuous series of collision sounds rang out, the speed of the two at this moment was unexpectedly fast.

At this moment, besides Zi Zhao, no one could see the battle between the two clearly.

And Zi Zhao, at some unknown time, had already arrived beside the injured Nether Army members, beginning to heal them.

"Zi Zhao senior, the boss he..."

"Don’t worry." Hearing the Nether Wolf’s words, Zi Zhao smiled slightly: "You’ve already won."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the pale face of the Nether Wolf, and he promptly closed his eyes, fainting without a word.

Seeing the unconscious Nether Wolf, Zi Zhao’s face appeared somewhat peculiar.

His chest was pierced, and his internal organs and tendons were injured, such injuries were not light.

For an ordinary person, they might have died on the spot.

A Martial Artist’s resistance is much stronger than an ordinary person, but such severe trauma would also bring intense pain, enough to cause a Martial Artist to pass out from the sheer agony.

Martial Artists are also human, also feeling pain.

But this man, without uttering a word, stared fixedly at the battle, although someone was healing him, the pain couldn’t be diminished. Yet he didn’t utter a sound of pain, satisfied only after getting the answer he wanted, then fainted contentedly.

What exactly was it that supported this man?

Zi Zhao couldn’t help but turn his head, somewhat enviously looking towards Li Chen, who was fighting with Lan Xigui.

His Marketplace could also be considered a force. And for a force, a loyal subordinate was more useful than anything else.

The Nether Wolf truly earned his appreciation, although his strength wasn’t much, strength could be cultivated, while loyalty tested a person’s true intentions.

Just as Zi Zhao was healing the wounded of the Nether Army, Li Chen’s battle was also nearing its end.

Lan Xigui had taken two punches and a kick from Li Chen, each strike extremely heavy. This was still a result of his best efforts to dodge.

Because he knew, if struck by that blood-red blade, a single slash would likely be enough to strip him of combat power.

His attacks, however, couldn’t do anything to Li Chen.

Every time he tried to forcefully unleash a powerful technique, he would be interrupted by the approaching Li Chen, or directly obliterated with a single slash.

In such a battle, there wasn’t even a sliver of victory to be seen.

Although he was a bit stronger than Lan Xili, his strength was limited. Facing such an opponent, he had almost no power to resist.

"Could it be, is our Lan Family truly destined to perish today?" Unconsciously, at this moment, Lan Xigui thought of the Yu Family.

After the last battle, the Yu Family seemed to have completely shut itself off, no longer having any connection with the outside world.

For a Martial Artist Family, losing all their strong members was essentially equivalent to their demise, wasn’t it?

The red glow on Li Chen’s Hong Yue became even more dazzling, indicating he no longer wished to delay.

"Once I remove you all, those small fries won’t resist anymore, right?" Li Chen’s gaze turned towards the Lan family members not far off.

Lan Xigui seemed to give up resisting, slowly landing beside Lan Xili, his expression somewhat bitter.

Looking at the two men, Li Chen stretched out his hand, Hong Yue returning to the scabbard, and his body lowered slightly.

"Out..."

"Wait!" A hand suddenly stopped in front of Li Chen.
