Chapter 234: Chapter 212: Manor Battle

After obtaining the exact location, Li Chen immediately notified Chu Pojun and others. Then, the Nether Princess, Quentin, the Nether Wolf, as well as Zu Gu and William each led their own people straight to Horton Manor.

Li Chen also brought Mason directly there.

By holding Mason captive, there was no fear of him lying.

Horton Manor was a manor in the Vancouver suburbs.

This manor covered a vast area and had a golf course and a natural lake. To buy such a manor would cost a fortune.

Around and inside the manor, however, there were many fully armed people guarding it, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

Inside the manor, the Ghost King and Shadow sat in a room, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.

"You mean he’s coming this way?"

A trace of panic flashed in the Ghost King’s eyes; he hadn’t expected Li Chen to arrive so quickly.

Shadow nodded, "Mason has been gone for so long; obviously, something has happened. According to the character of the King of the Netherworld, it is better to act sooner rather than later, so he should already be on his way here."

"How can we just sit here and wait for death?" the Ghost King frowned.

"No, we need him to come here," a glint of light flashed in Shadow’s eyes.

"What do you mean?" the Ghost King frowned.

"Even if the King of the Netherworld’s strength is formidable, he is ultimately just one person. To kill, we do not necessarily need guns or knives; other methods can also kill," Shadow spoke, "The secret chamber we built earlier can now be put to use."

Hearing this from Shadow made the Ghost King calm down, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Indeed, this time, we will make sure he cannot return!"

...

Soon, Li Chen and his people arrived at Horton Manor, which stood like a castle on the grassland from a distance.

"Damn it, this time I’ll lead the charge. Lion, do you want to join me?"

William glanced at the manor, which seemed overly calm and deserted, and frowned slightly, finding it somewhat eerie.

"I’ll lead the charge too," Quentin declared, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Maybe we should wait a bit," William said, "There’s something strange about this manor, better to be cautious."

"What’s there to fear, **** it," Zu Gu said, and Li Chen, looking at the seemingly deserted manor, also frowned slightly.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chen said, "Zu Gu, Lion, Nether Princess, take your men and charge."

With their orders, Zu Gu was excited, and the Nether Princess quickly approached the manor with her Nether Army. The others followed suit, spreading out behind them.

Just as Zu Gu and the others were halfway through their charge, a sudden change occurred!

From the ground that was previously empty sprang numerous holes, and from those holes, shockingly, rose several machine guns configured to fire in all directions.

At the same time, several rows of people, who were previously unseen, stood up inside the seemingly deserted manor, all armed with submachine guns aimed in their direction.

Li Chen’s eyes turned cold, and seeing this scene, everyone else immediately rushed forward.

At this point, there was only one option: a brutal charge!

The Nether Princess had a cold look in her eyes as she continuously threw darts at the machine guns, which were a lethal threat. They had rushed here quickly and hadn’t brought many heavy weapons, making a forceful entry very difficult.

Almost instantly, the Nether Princess took out her ring-like weapon, swung her arms, and instantly, the ring flew towards the machine guns.

"Shuā shuā shuā"

The sound of metal clashing continued as several machine guns were sliced apart by the Princess’s weapon.

Handling the ropes with her hands, the Nether Princess flung the ring again toward another machine gun.

William also erupted with fury, smashing the machine gun before him to pieces, then taking the heavy machine gun tossed to him by one of his men, he began a frenzied spray of bullets towards the people ahead.

And Ning Wangyang, too, charged down immediately, accelerating to his maximum speed. His treasured sword flickered with light as he continuously destroyed machine guns.

However, the people from Ghost King’s side also opened fire; the machine guns underground along with those at a distance spewed flames, enveloping the Nether King’s men.

Brutal!

On the side of the Palace of the Nether King, the former subordinates of the Nether Wolf fearlessly charged forward first, using their bodies to shield their teammates from bullets, while the Nether Army commanded by the Nether Princess was swiftly destroying the machine guns.

William and Zu Gu, among others, were also firing wildly, engaging with the guards up front.

After roughly ten seconds, the machine guns on this side had been completely disabled, but there were also many casualties. On Ghost King’s side, under the relentless barrage from William and the others, there were numerous injuries and deaths as well.

Li Chen, looking at the battle ahead, felt extremely gloomy. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, the one who had helped Ghost King set up this deadly trap must have been Kandi, known as the Gunmaster.

And this Kandi was close to being one of the Eight War Generals within the Palace of the Nether King. Li Chen hadn’t expected him to have defected directly to the Ghost King.

The Gunmaster Kandi was proficient in various firearms and was skilled at using them to set traps to massacre enemies.

In the front, everyone was slaughtering their way through. Ning Wangyang, taking the lead, weaved and dodged adeptly. With a treasured sword in hand, he flicked away the bullets. Not only was he unharmed, but he also unleashed Sword Qi, killing the guards in front of him outright!

The Nether Wolf and Nether Princess were rushing forward rapidly as well. With her hoop weapon twirling, the Nether Princess aimed to break into the midst of the guards to reap lives. Under the cover of several Battle Generals and Ning Wangyang, the experts of the Palace of the Nether King were steadily advancing. It was then that Li Chen saw someone from the manor carrying out something resembling an ancient cannon.

This sight narrowed Li Chen’s eyes considerably. This was Kandi’s masterpiece. Though it resembled an ancient artillery piece, it was capable of instant and rapid firing and was incredibly powerful. Moreover, the scattering effect of the shrapnel in its shells made it an exceedingly terrifying weapon of war.

Ning Wangyang squinted, just as he was about to charge forward to destroy the cannons, a man with his upper body bare and wearing only red shorts suddenly rushed out. While still in mid-air, he launched a fierce kick towards Ning Wangyang’s direction.

This kick, with the wind it stirred and its terrifying force, actually forced Ning Wangyang to retreat. His forward momentum halted in mid-air, making a forceful twist, as he thrust his sword forward in response!

But the man was incredibly fast, and his kick landed squarely on Ning Wangyang’s wrist, forcing him back.

Landing on the ground, Ning Wangyang looked at the man and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

The Muay Thai King, Puticha, ranked ninth on the Heavenly List!

Meanwhile, as the Nether Wolf and others were charging forward, figures appeared in front of them to halt their advance.

In front of the Nether Princess emerged a woman clad in blue, exuding an icy elegance. She raised her hand and fired three shots at the Nether Princess!

The three bullets were aimed in a "品" shape towards the Nether Princess, forcing her to retract her hoop weapon defensively.

After blocking the bullets, the Nether Princess looked up, a cold light flashing in her eyes. This woman, who was once also a member of the Palace of the Nether King and very close to becoming one of the Eight War Generals, had unexpectedly betrayed them as well.

In front of the Nether Wolf appeared a man wearing earrings, his arms all muscle. He charged straight towards the Nether Wolf and instantly engaged in close combat. Their fists thundered against each other, and they both backed away after the exchange.

The Polar Bear, ranked twenty-fifth on the Heavenly List.

Looking at this Caucasian man, the Nether Wolf’s expression was still as cold as ever.

While they were being held back, the cannons behind them began to fire, and instantly, the shells raining down on the Nether Army ahead, who couldn’t evade in time, were blasted to death on the spot.

William’s expression was extremely grim. This manor was proving to be an unexpectedly tough battle, and if the deadlock continued, his side would suffer devastating losses.

At this point, Li Chen could no longer sit back and do nothing. With a tap of his foot, he dashed forward like the wind towards the frontline.

He was determined to personally break through this defense line!

The people of the Palace of the Nether King cheered upon seeing Li Chen take action, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Li Chen was fast, charging directly into the torrent of bullets and cannon fire.

At the manor, they spotted Li Chen’s movement and concentrated their fire on him at the command.

Li Chen did not slow down but picked up speed as he approached the manor.

The experts also noticed Li Chen’s advance and tried to rise to intercept him, but Ning Wangyang and the others held them back, engaging them in heated battle.

The guards aimed at Li Chen and opened fire furiously, while artillery shells continued to barrage his position. At the same time, several more experts from the Heavenly List emerged to confront Li Chen head-on!

Li Chen’s gaze turned icy. Suddenly, his True Qi surged, his speed increased yet again, and with a series of complex techniques in play, the experts who came at him were swiftly knocked away by his strikes.

With a leap, Li Chen entered the manor, and then he struck out with his right palm. The overwhelming True Qi exploded forth, causing a row of guards under its force to collapse to the ground!

His left palm also struck out towards the group of guards on his left. True Qi surged forth, knocking over another row, instantly reducing the manor’s firepower by half, allowing the people of the Palace of the Nether King to seize the opportunity and charge forward.

Li Chen kicked one of the cannons before him, sending it flying, and at the same time, turned around, reaching out with his left hand to grab an expert from the Heavenly List who was trying to sneak attack him. Under Li Chen’s immense force, the attacker’s arm was rendered useless.

As a one-man army, Li Chen tore through the manor’s defenses like a War God gone mad. Then, all of a sudden, he laid eyes on the former Gunmaster, Kandi.

Instantly, Li Chen’s gaze turned colder.
