Chapter 256: Chapter 234 Cleanup

Li Chen stood his ground, the Ghost King was dumbfounded, while Apollo and Brahma each suffered various injuries of differing severity.

Although Li Chen was alone, he still maintained control over the entire situation.

The energy within his body was still surging immensely, even more violent than the last time he was in the secret chamber. However, Li Chen was constantly aware of the dangers of this energy, knowing that one wrong move could mean his own death.

Therefore, Li Chen had to fight a quick but decisive battle!

Apollo and Brahma managed to stand up, but Li Chen once again attacked. Within a few moves and under Li Chen’s fierce and wild offensive, they could no longer withstand the pressure.

"Puh"

A heavy palm struck Brahma’s chest, causing a strange energy to wrap around him like bone-piercing maggots, spurting his blood and sending him flying backward.

Apollo was also flung away, but Li Chen was relentless, chasing after him. Clenching his fists, he pummeled Apollo in mid-air like a punching bag, unleashing a dense flurry of punches that Apollo couldn’t fully defend against even if he wanted to.

"Puh"

Apollo too was left seriously injured. Suddenly, both Main Gods were brutally overpowered by Li Chen!

Brahma coughed and said coldly, "The King of the Netherworld is indeed worthy of his title, but do you really think you can beat me?"

Li Chen looked at Brahma, who took out a porcelain bottle and flung it at Li Chen, then flicked it with a finger, shattering the bottle and releasing countless tiny poisonous insects.

"Trivial trick!"

Li Chen waved his hand, and the strong True Qi directly killed the insects. But when he looked at Brahma again, he found Brahma turning to run away!

Yes, Brahma had dashed to the window, broken through it, and jumped out.

Li Chen was momentarily stunned. By the time he realized it, Brahma was already gone.

After a moment of silence, Li Chen turned toward Apollo, who had just snapped out of his daze and without a word, dashed towards a nearby balcony and escaped!

Both Main Gods had chosen to flee!

This revelation, if it were to get out, would surely become a laughingstock!

But still, these two were Main Gods, and Li Chen didn’t know how long he could maintain his current state, so it wasn’t wise to chase them. Moreover, his target was the Ghost King, who was still standing there in shock.

The Ghost King hadn’t recovered from the shock when he saw Li Chen approaching him.

The Ghost King took a step back, only to hit a chair and stumble onto it.

Looking at Li Chen, whose eyes were blood red, the Ghost King finally recognized Li Chen’s terrifying strength, understanding that when a person’s strength reaches a certain realm, no amount of scheming or trickery could work.

The Ghost King now felt a deep sense of powerlessness, recalling how since his betrayal, he had been plotting against Li Chen and setting various traps, but all to no avail.

"Previously, as my subordinate, you did establish quite a few military exploits for me," Li Chen said indifferently. "I will leave your body intact."

"Hahaha," the Ghost King laughed wildly. "King of the Netherworld, do you really think killing me will be of any use? I am merely an alter ego after all."

Hearing this, Li Chen’s brow furrowed. Another alter ego?

The Ghost King was like a cunning rat, never showing himself and always sending out alter egos instead.

"King of the Netherworld, you will never be able to kill me," the Ghost King laughed heartily.

Li Chen, filled with rage, stepped forward and smashed his right hand fiercely onto the Ghost King’s chest. In an instant, the Ghost King’s laughter was abruptly cut off, leaving only a whining sound.

"Even if I can’t kill you, I will destroy all your bases and forces. Sooner or later, I will root you out!" Li Chen said coldly.

The Ghost King seemed to be sneering, but all that came from his throat were streaks of blood.

With a forceful grip, Li Chen killed the Ghost King. Staring at the Ghost King lying on the chair, Li Chen frowned.

Before long, the energy within Li Chen’s body receded like the tide, and the pain returned once more.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead; about half a minute later, Li Chen was drenched in sweat, and the pain had also vanished.

He took out a pill from the porcelain bottle, swallowed it, then closed his eyes to control the True Qi within his body, taking a while to recover.

"Whew!"

Li Chen exhaled a breath. The mysterious energy inside him was like an uncontrollable wild horse. Fortunately, he had been able to control it both times; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Meanwhile, Chu Pojun and others had also dealt with the people from the Ghost King’s side and entered the villa.

On the other side, the battle between Ye Tu and the Pope had also ended. The Pope, upon seeing Brahma retreat, cracked a slight smile, then after clashing with Ye Tu again, he promptly left.

Upon seeing the Pope leave, Dallas also chose to leave. Ning Wangyang wanted to pursue, but Ye Tu stopped him.

Afterward, everyone gathered inside a room.

Li Chen stood up, "Contact Alice and Catherine, and have them hurry up in investigating the remaining bases of the Ghost King in Vancouver."

Then, Li Chen instructed everyone to carefully check the room for any clues left behind that could lead to finding the Ghost King’s other bases.

...

Although the real Ghost King was still not found, this time, a heavy blow was still dealt to the Ghost King. It could be said that this base was equivalent to a headquarters among all the bases; otherwise, two Main Gods would not have come to protect it.

While only an alter ego was killed, on Li Chen’s side, some useful information was discovered in the villa, such as the political and business world figures the Ghost King had previously contacted, as well as some distribution maps of his bases.

With this, the Palace of the Nether King immediately launched another sweeping operation!

The Five Commanders, along with Chu Pojun and others, were all mobilized, and a storm began to stir throughout Vancouver!

This storm first churned within the ****, before extending to the political and business world. Some figures in politics and business were assassinated, and all without exception had records of bribery or other crimes.

Ordinary people were unaware of the severity of this storm, but those caught in the vortex were more afraid, even turning hostile or falling silent at the mere mention of it.

Those in the know understood that this was an act of the Palace of the Nether King’s return, or rather, revenge. Anyone who dared to defy the will of the Palace or obstruct its path disappeared without a trace.

Simultaneously, the title of the Palace of the Nether King once again emerged in both the underworld and the lawful world, commanding the same respect as before, where everyone hearing this title would take three steps back.

The actions against the Ghost King continued. In addition to the previously destroyed bases, many of the remaining bases of the Ghost King were also uprooted.

This time, the Ghost King truly suffered a heavy blow and a rapid decline in power. Moreover, due to the threat from the Palace of the Nether King, he could no longer operate openly as before.

In short, his threat to the Palace of the Nether King had become negligible.
