Chapter 237: Chapter 215 Breakthrough Kill

Li Chen’s body was covered in blood, and before long, he had become a blood-soaked figure!

His whole body was drenched in blood, including his face, which was stained red, leaving only his eyes fixed intently on Shadow!

Under the gaze of these eyes, Shadow couldn’t help but take a step back!

Those eyes were terrifying, seemingly filled with endless coldness. Although Shadow knew Li Chen couldn’t possibly break out of the chamber, he still felt a unease in his heart for some reason.

Retreating a few steps, Shadow looked at Li Chen, who at that moment felt as if the energy inside his body was about to explode, as if suddenly there was an infinite amount of energy. His entire body felt an immense power, as if if he didn’t release it, he would explode and die.

"Ah!"

Li Chen roared and then took a step forward, his fists clenched, and he slammed them directly onto the stone door!

"Boom"

Instantly, the stone door trembled as if it couldn’t withstand the terrifying force of Li Chen’s punches.

Li Chen’s current state was even more powerful than the Nether King at his peak, though he didn’t know why, he just felt it in his heart.

As Li Chen’s fist smashed down, those outside, including Shadow, felt the ground shake as if Li Chen’s punch could break through the entire underground.

"Don’t struggle in vain, you can’t escape," Shadow said, yet, Li Chen punched the same spot again!

"Boom"

The tremor continued, and the spot where Li Chen had hit the door caved in, the outer layer of stone peeling off to reveal the alloy beneath.

All the power in Li Chen’s body gathered together, his fists like catapults, continuously pounding, treating the stone door before him as if it were a punching bag.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"...

The continuous pounding sounds came, and under Li Chen’s assault, the stone door greatly concaved in, looking like it could be burst through at any moment.

Inside the door, Shadow was panicking, watching as the protruding alloy slowly retreated backward while his subordinates nearby also cautiously watched the stone door.

With each punch, at last, after one final punch, the stone door burst open with a loud bang!

And the blasted alloy shot toward Shadow at the front, the sharp metal shards sparkling with a cold light, slicing through one of the subordinates in front, instantly killing him.

Shadow moved extremely fast, tilting his head slightly, but the alloy still grazed his hair, cutting off a segment of it that fell to the ground.

And Shadow’s gaze, looking at the blood-soaked figure bursting out from the chamber, showed a trace of fear in his eyes!

He had schemed in every possible way to trap him, yet he still hadn’t killed him?

And Li Chen, covered in blood as he emerged from the chamber, looked at Shadow with eyes that suddenly turned extremely cold.

For a moment, Shadow felt as if even his breathing became difficult.

His subordinates also didn’t dare to advance, as it seemed this man was excessively powerful, and just then, the blood-soaked figure slowly walked towards them.

Several subordinates gritted their teeth and charged at Li Chen.

Li Chen didn’t care at all, and as those subordinates rushed at him, he took action, and once he did, it was wildly furious, throwing out a punch, one of the subordinates had not even touched him yet when he was sent flying back, his chest caving in, dying on the spot!

Li Chen’s strength, having exploded in that weird surge of energy, had grown even stronger. With his current strength, he could break open the alloy stone door made of space metal, let alone a mere human?

As others advanced, Li Chen simply threw out another punch!

This punch, carrying a powerful surge of True Qi, hit the leader of the subordinates, who didn’t even have time to moan before his heart was burst, leaving a hole in his chest.

And the powerful True Qi continued toward the people behind him, the line of subordinates all stiffened, and upon looking at their chests, they found bloodied holes where their hearts had been blasted away.

Watching his subordinates being effortlessly slaughtered like chives, Shadow couldn’t help but tremble, terror overtaking his heart, his body slowly retreating, wanting to turn and run while Li Chen wasn’t looking, as he felt it difficult even to make a move under Li Chen’s imposing aura.

But Li Chen’s gaze remained fixed on Shadow all along, those charging subordinates merely dismissed with a single move.

Like swatting flies, he killed all those subordinates, Li Chen looked at the slowly retreating Shadow and said indifferently, "I’m not dead, are you surprised?"

Looking at the blood-covered Li Chen, Shadow couldn’t hold back anymore, he turned to run, but how could he possibly outrun Li Chen?

Almost instantly, Li Chen was behind Shadow, his palm carrying a tremendous surge of True Qi struck out, Shadow turned his head trying to defend, but Li Chen’s palm broke through his entire defense, blasting him away.

Shadow struggled to her feet from the ground, the corner of her mouth already showing a trace of fresh blood, fear and hatred in her eyes. She was unwilling to accept this, she was about to succeed, why did things suddenly go wrong?

Shadow slightly shifted her figure, and her whole body blended into the slightly dim underground passage, yet Li Chen’s gaze was still fixed on her.

"Don’t forget," said Li Chen as he walked slowly, "everything you know was taught by me, including this Concealment Art."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Shadow gritted her teeth, knowing escape was impossible and that only a fight to the death might save her life.

It was either Li Chen’s death or her, Shadow’s, demise!

Watching Shadow diving towards him from above, Li Chen’s face was ice-cold; Shadow’s hands continuously executed techniques, while Li Chen simply threw a straightforward punch!

This punch, thrown in anger!

Before Shadow could get close to Li Chen, she felt a powerful and fierce True Qi strike her, hitting her so hard that she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Puh"

The taste of blood in her mouth was both sweet and metallic, and she couldn’t help but spit it out, and her body was thrown high in the air, smashing into the ground like a parabola.

If not for Shadow’s residual strength, that blow would have instantly killed her.

Even so, Shadow was seriously injured and watched Li Chen approach step by step, feeling somewhat despaired.

This time, Shadow was doomed.

"Traitors should always be killed," Li Chen said indifferently as he approached Shadow. At that moment, her eyes flashed as she attempted one last struggle, thrusting the hidden weapon in her right hand at Li Chen.

But Li Chen swiftly caught her wrist with his left hand, and with a forceful grip, Shadow felt as though her wrist had broken, and the weapon fell from her hand.

Looking at Shadow, Li Chen felt no sympathy. He had once pitied her and saved her, taught her Kung Fu, and turned her into ’Shadow’, the chief of the intelligence agency of the Palace of the Nether King. But unexpectedly, Shadow betrayed him driven by her own ambitions.

"I’ll kill you, and then I’ll kill the Ghost King," said Li Chen calmly. "If I’m not mistaken, the Ghost King was just a pawn in your game, wasn’t he? Once I was dead, you’d turn and strike him next. Am I right?"

Shadow’s pupils constricted; she had underestimated Li Chen. He was superior to her in both strength and intelligence.

Indeed, her plan had been to use the Ghost King to dispose of Li Chen and then turn on the Ghost King himself after Li Chen was dead. But now Li Chen had seen through her plans.

"Even together, you can’t defeat me, for ants will always be just ants," said Li Chen, his gaze turning cold as he reached down to strike Shadow lying on the ground!

This palm strike was aimed to end her life.

Seeing the strike coming, fear flashed in Shadow’s eyes. She couldn’t avoid this palm.

But just then, Li Chen’s down-going palm halted mid-air as if the ferocious True Qi suddenly sputtered out.

Li Chen also felt as though the energy within him had misfired, causing his body to stagger involuntarily.

Seeing Li Chen’s reaction, Shadow’s eyes lit up, and she ran swiftly toward the back without looking back. She was truly blessed by the heavens. If not for the sudden issue with Li Chen’s energy, today would have been her end.

Watching Shadow escape, Li Chen bit his teeth, and just as he was about to pursue her, he felt the energy within him whirl chaotically.

Damn it!

Why now of all times?

If only it had held on for one more second!

Regrettably, Li Chen had to sit down and circulate the Mysterious Technique to get his energy under control; by then, however, Shadow had already escaped.

Li Chen exhaled deeply. No matter what, he would personally kill her.

I made you, and I can kill you too!

Emerging from the underground passage back to the estate, the battle there was almost over. Ning Wangyang had slain the Muay Thai King, the Nether Wolf had killed the Polar Bear, and the Nether Princess had killed the traitor Aina. The people of the Palace of the Nether King had essentially seized the entire estate.

A few guards were still stubbornly resisting, taking advantage of the estate’s narrow passages to hold off the people from the Palace of the Nether King.

At this moment, Li Chen emerged from a room behind them. Seeing these people, Li Chen waved his hand and a strong True Qi swept across, knocking down the guards.

Zu Gu barked and leapt forward, charging into the guards, followed by the rest of the Nether Army. In no time, the last of the estate’s guards were brutally slaughtered.

Ning Wangyang came over, a hint of surprise in his eyes at Li Chen’s appearance, as if he had been pulled from a sea of blood.

"I’m fine," said Li Chen flatly, "but she got away."

"Army Breaker and Catherine are investigating, and Matthew and Martin’s people are also closing in on Alice’s whereabouts. We’ll catch up to her soon," Ning Wangyang said.
