Chapter 179: Chapter 157: No One Dares to Stop!

As Li Chen stepped into the second courtyard, numerous strands of killing intent appeared unabashedly, aiming straight at him at the entrance!

Their intensity was intimidating!

The killing intents were bone-chilling, almost tangible. Although one couldn’t see or touch an aura, it very much existed. And since the Lin Family’s experts were used to killing as easily as eating, their killing intents were even more terrifying.

Several strands of killing intent combined and swept toward Li Chen. If an average person, especially one with a weaker constitution, was in his place, they would likely faint on the spot.

But suddenly, around Li Chen’s body erupted an overwhelming killing intent. The combined strands of killing intent proved no match for his own and scurried back in defeat!

Those hidden in the shadows shuddered suddenly, some even taking a step back, then stared at Li Chen at the entrance in utter disbelief!

How is this possible?!

How could someone so young possess such an immense killing intent?

What they didn’t know was that the man standing before them was someone known as the King of the Netherworld.

The King of the Netherworld, ranked third on the Main God Ranking!

He was the terrifyingly powerful warrior who had once single-handedly annihilated hundreds of members of the Skywolf Mercenary Group!

Li Chen walked forward and Zhong Tian followed, reaching the center of the courtyard. Li Chen stopped and spoke indifferently, "Come out."

But after his words, there was still no reaction in the courtyard for quite some time.

"Why force me?"

Li Chen spoke lightly, then his gaze shifted toward the left rooftop. His overwhelming killing intent surged in that direction, and suddenly, the person lying in ambush there could no longer bear it. They leapt up from their prone position, landing in the center of the courtyard.

Zhong Tian eyed the newcomer only to see a middle-aged man with a goatee, looking at Li Chen with a grim face.

However, Li Chen didn’t concern himself with the man. Instead, his gaze drifted to a house on the left, seemingly piercing through the sandalwood door and windows, to an old man sitting quietly in a chair.

The old man’s hand clenched on the armrest of the chair suddenly tightened, and the chair seemed to dent under his grip!

Then, Li Chen’s eyes moved toward a rockery on the right, behind which appeared an old man with white hair and a childlike face, dressed in a green robe, looking at Li Chen with shock and surprise.

"There is one more."

Without turning around, Li Chen spoke indifferently. With a flick of his right hand behind him, a blast of True Qi shot out, piercing through the thick wall. In the front courtyard, a man leaped to avoid Li Chen’s True Qi but revealed himself in the process.

With a "creak," the old man from the left room also came out.

Front, back, left, right—a total of four people!

And these four could be considered as the Lin Family’s protectors, all with formidable strength.

Zhong Tian scratched his head as the group materialized; they felt slightly stronger than himself.

The four faced Li Chen in the center without a word, and he too remained silent. For a moment, everyone seemed to fall into a hush.

Eventually, the green-robed elder by the rockery spoke up, "Who are you? What are your intentions for trespassing into the Lin Family residence so boldly?"

"Who I am is not important," Li Chen said calmly. "I am here for Lin Yi."

Here for the young lady?

The complexions of the group changed instantly. The young lady had just hurried back earlier that day and was now being questioned by the family head; judging by his expression, there must have been some serious matter. And yet this man came looking for the young lady?

For a moment, their minds raced as the green-robed elder declared, "No, you cannot see the young lady. Go back the way you came."

"There’s no one I can’t meet," replied Li Chen quietly.

"How arrogant, young man!"

The anger of the black-robed elder surged at Li Chen’s response. He threw the purple sand pot he was holding directly at Li Chen. The pot spun rapidly as it flew!

With that action, the other three moved as well. The gloomy middle-aged man leaped into the air, his hands shaking and sending countless hidden weapons flying towards Li Chen. The man in the back stomped his foot emphatically, each stomp seemingly amplifying his momentum, cracking the blue bricks beneath him.

The green-robed elder flung his sleeves and charged at Li Chen.

The battle was on!

Li Chen acted too, channeling True Qi through his left hand and, with an effortless flick, redirected the cup flying towards him right back at the gloomy man in mid-air. The cup clashed with the hidden weapons and shattered, but the tea inside was untouched by them and continued towards the gloomy man!

The man’s face changed, and he dodged immediately, while Li Chen also left his spot, rushing toward the green-robed elder. Simultaneously, the black-robed elder charged at Li Chen.

With his left hand reaching out, the elder in the green robe tried to grasp Li Chen directly, but unexpectedly, Li Chen countered in mid-air with a backhand, instead reaching for the elder’s wrist with even greater speed.

The elder in the green robe was startled, quickly changing his move to strike towards Li Chen. However, Li Chen responded with a change of his own, colliding palms with the elder. In an instant, their formidable True Qi clashed, and the elder couldn’t stop the impact, retreating step by step under the force of the palm.

But Li Chen seemed unable to withstand the elder’s palm either, as he was sent flying backwards. This delighted the elder in black clothing behind them, who lifted his hands, ready to strike down on Li Chen’s head!

But suddenly, the elder in black saw the calmness in Li Chen’s eyes and inexplicably felt a hint of danger.

Grinding his teeth, the elder in black still struck out with his palms toward Li Chen. But while seemingly mid-flight, Li Chen executed a mid-air somersault and leaped over the elder to land behind him.

Damn it!

The elder in black was shocked, realizing this was a trap to bait him!

But by then, it was too late. Before the elder in black could react, Li Chen’s Hand Blade struck his neck. Everything seemed to vanish, the elder’s vision darkened, a sweetness filled his mouth, and he spat out blood, staggering forwards.

Meanwhile, the man behind who was about to rush at Li Chen was intercepted by Zhong Tian mid-way.

"Move aside!" The middle-aged man roared furiously, a flash of ferocity gleaming in his eyes as he concentrated all his momentum into his fist, ready to smash down!

Zhong Tian retained his simple-minded expression, showing no intention of Avoidance. The middle-aged man, like an arrow drawn to its limit, had no choice but to launch his punch directly at Zhong Tian!

A full-powered, forceful punch, with the momentum of a mountain collapsing, went straight at Zhong Tian head-on!

Zhong Tian, watching the fist come his way, also raised his right fist, with no fancy moves, and met the punch head-on. Instantly, their fists collided fiercely.

The outcome of their exchange defied the attacker’s expectations—Zhong Tian wasn’t sent flying but instead took several steps back to dispel the force, while he also retreated several steps to steady himself.

The man’s gaze filled with shock. When he looked at Zhong Tian again, he did so with newfound gravity because he had taken one step more than Zhong Tian.

This fat man possessed surprisingly great strength!

On the other side, seeing the elder in black injured, the elder in the green robe charged towards Li Chen, and the gloomy middle-aged man in mid-air also rushed over.

As both closed in almost simultaneously, Li Chen was fearless. The gloomy man’s eyes glinted with malice as he aimed a palm strike at Li Chen, but as he did so, a Hidden Weapon was suddenly launched from his sleeve straight at Li Chen!

Under the treacherous and ruthless attack, Li Chen dodged the strike, but their attacks kept coming relentlessly.

His eyes flashing, Li Chen leaned sideways, using the momentum to fall and support himself on one hand, avoiding both attacks. When he stood up again, he was already behind them.

His right hand formed a Claw, grabbing the gloomy man’s calf, and then clenching down hard. Without giving his opponent a chance to react, he crippled the man’s right calf.

The gloomy man’s face changed, pain etched into his features, and as Li Chen saw him reach for another Hidden Weapon, he grabbed the man’s arm and, with a crack, disabled it.

Then, a kick to the man’s chest sent him spinning mid-air, crashing to the ground.

It all happened so fast that by the time the elder in the green robe landed, the gloomy man had lost his Combat Power.

"You!"

Glaring at Li Chen, the elder in the green robe’s eyes nearly shot flames—this guy was too devious!

Li Chen said nothing, merely taking a fighter’s stance, and the elder in the green robe immediately charged at Li Chen.

This time, Li Chen stood his ground, not moving an inch, merely countering the elder’s moves. After several exchanges, Li Chen seized an opening and landed a palm on the elder’s chest, instantly knocking him to the ground.

Turning back to look at Zhong Tian, Li Chen found that Zhong Tian had suppressed his opponent. After a few palm strikes, the other man couldn’t take it anymore, while Zhong Tian looked unaffected, as though nothing had happened.

"Come again!"

Zhong Tian hummed, then threw another punch. The man, caught off guard, had to respond, but the punch caused his facial muscles to spasm, and he kept retreating until he finally cradled his right fist in agony.

"What’s wrong with you?" asked Zhong Tian, genuinely curious.

Li Chen turned and made his way towards the back courtyard. But as he did, over a dozen top fighters came from the back.

"Uncle Nine!"

However, upon seeing the conditions of the four, including the elder in the green robe, the dozen men were stunned. Looking at Li Chen, who approached with an indifferent expression, they couldn’t help but feel fear.

Could this man truly have taken on four challengers and won?

As Li Chen approached, the crowd instinctively stepped back, each time Li Chen moved forward, they retreated.

No one dared to block his path!
