Chapter 292: Chapter 270: Unbuckling the Belt Mid-Air

Lin Yi fell silent. Even if he escaped from the Lin Family, could he still not be with Li Chen?

Before long, the noise downstairs finally ceased, and Shadow approached Lin Yi from behind, looking at the staircase with a dagger aimed directly at Lin Yi.

"Are you looking forward to him coming to rescue you? Unfortunately, he will only see you dead when he arrives," Shadow said coldly, staring ahead. The moment Li Chen climbed the stairs, she would thrust the dagger into Lin Yi’s throat. Even if Li Chen were extremely powerful, he couldn’t save Lin Yi in such a short time.

Lin Yi, staring ahead, involuntarily slowly closed his eyes. Perhaps his and Li Chen’s fate had reached its end.

However, Shadow, with a cold expression, slightly furrowed her brows. Something wasn’t right. The King of the Netherworld had already dealt with the trap she had set. Why was there no movement now?

Logically, the King of the Netherworld should be climbing the stairs by now, but why was there still no sound?

The surrounding environment suddenly seemed eerie. Even though Shadow was the game’s creator, at this moment, she still felt uneasy. This uneasiness stemmed from the King of the Netherworld’s years of prestige and her fear of Li Chen’s strength.

Just then, as Shadow was vigilantly watching ahead, a faint voice came from behind: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

At these words, a look of astonishment crossed Lin Yi’s face, followed by a hint of joy, while Shadow’s expression drastically changed!

This couldn’t be possible. Why had Li Chen appeared behind her?

Faster than her mind could process, Shadow instinctively reacted. Her dagger thrust toward Li Chen, and she tried to move away from him, while her left hand cleverly struck out at him.

But all her efforts were in vain.

In front of the King of the Netherworld, no one could escape!

It had been so before, and it was the same now!

Shadow’s attack was full of flaws in front of Li Chen, especially since she was turned away from him.

Li Chen threw a punch, filled with True Qi, that smashed Shadow, causing her to spew blood and stagger forward. But it wasn’t over yet. Li Chen grabbed her wrist and twisted it fiercely. In an instant, Shadow’s left hand twisted grotesquely as if it were a twisted doughnut!

A muffled groan escaped from Shadow’s mouth, and the severe pain in her left hand made her sweat profusely, as if the bones in her hand had been twisted and broken by Li Chen.

"Thump"

Shadow took another hit and was immediately hurled onto the concrete floor, spitting out a mouthful of blood as if her organs had been shattered.

"You could escape once, but not a second time!" Li Chen said coldly as he approached the still frightened Shadow.

How could this be possible? How had the King of the Netherworld gotten behind her?

But then, Shadow noticed the unfinished concrete wall which was still exposed, indicating that Li Chen had come up from there, jumping directly from the floor below!

The incredulity in her eyes was captured by Li Chen. Without further ado, just as he was about to step on her wrist and completely break it, his consideration for Lin Yi behind him halted his action.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, watching Li Chen, felt a sweet sense in her heart but also some avoidance, as Shadow’s words had affected her.

Words are powerful, and with enough repetition, they can become an accepted truth. Looking at Li Chen, could he really be a demon?

Although she was reluctant to believe it, she couldn’t help but think about it.

Shadow coughed out blood, a grim smile on her face: "I miscalculated, I underestimated you, King of the Netherworld."

Li Chen responded indifferently, "You’ve never won since the beginning."

Then, clenching his left fist, he smashed it into her Dantian!

The surging True Qi, following Li Chen’s fist, rushed into Shadow’s body, then, centering on the Dantian, exploded like an atomic bomb. Inside Shadow’s body, all the meridians and organs seemed to be affected, and her intestines burst open, her organs rapidly failing!

This punch, although not taking Shadow’s life directly, also effectively sentenced her to death, leaving her merely an hour away from death!

Shadow coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood, her face bloodied, she smiled: "You don’t kill me because of the woman behind you? King of the Netherworld, you’ve changed."

Li Chen looked at Shadow, who had become like a lump of mud, said nothing, and turned around to rescue Lin Yi directly.

This time, he had ended Shadow’s life. From now on, there would be no more Shadow beside the King of the Netherworld, as if she had never existed.

All people pay the price for their greed!

This truth has never had an exception.

Watching Li Chen, a button slipped out from Shadow’s right wrist.

"King of the Netherworld, did you think, with this, you could stop me from killing your woman right in front of you?"

With a tragic yet deranged laugh, Shadow pressed the button!

Just as Shadow was saying those words, Li Chen felt a sense of unease and then heard the sound of an object sliding rapidly, followed by a piercing scream from Lin Yi!

"Ah!"

The wire tied to Lin Yi’s chair suddenly began to slide swiftly. It turned out that Shadow had set a device on Lin Yi’s chair, and now that the device was activated, Lin Yi was immediately thrown backward by a huge force, and behind her was just empty space, meaning she would fall straight down!

"Lin Yi!"

Li Chen’s eyes suddenly widened. It was too late to do anything else, so he leaped down with great speed!

Watching the two plummet one after the other from a high altitude, Shadow burst out laughing.

"King of the Netherworld, aren’t you going to accompany me in death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow then started coughing, and blood was gushing from his trachea and esophagus non-stop.

Shadow let out a breath, knowing he was not going to survive much longer. He pressed the button in his hand a second time!

"Boom."

Suddenly, a roaring noise came from within the building, followed immediately by one explosion after another—the second, the third, fourth, fifth, without cease. The building instantly became a target of demolition, with concrete continuously exploding and steel bars falling, the entire structure began to collapse.

Li Chen watched Lin Yi falling directly below, his heart filled with urgency.

Fortunately, he was falling even faster, directly catching Lin Yi who was tied by Shadow, and without a second word, his True Qi went into overdrive, forcibly breaking the steel wire!

"Li Chen, it’s too late, we are going to die here," Lin Yi said, her eyes full of longing as if she had given up.

"Fool! Don’t talk nonsense, hold on to me tight!"

Almost immediately, Li Chen started unbuckling his belt.

The two were falling rapidly. Falling from such a height, without a doubt, they would be killed on impact, with no chance of survival. The probability of surviving was less than 0.001%, even though Li Chen was the King of the Netherworld, but he was no exception; he couldn’t cultivate immortality like in other novels, really.

Watching Li Chen anxiously unbuckling his belt, Lin Yi’s face turned red. Was he thinking about having sex at this time?

Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, dispelling the inexplicable sadness and avoidance she had felt before.

Embracing Li Chen, Lin Yi softly said, "Li Chen, if there is an afterlife, I still want to be your wife."

Hearing this while unbuckling his belt, Li Chen cursed inwardly, damn it, why was it so hard to unbuckle at such a critical moment? When he normally went to pee, it wasn’t anything like this; if he were any slower, they would crash to their deaths!

"It seems like since we got married, I have never called you ’husband’. At the moment of death, I don’t want any regrets: Husband." Having said that, Lin Yi leaned in and kissed Li Chen!

Fuck, he finally got it off, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, Lin Yi kissed him!

Huh? What’s happening?

Li Chen’s eyes widened unbelievably. What a joke, in such a tense situation? Beautiful wife, I can satisfy you when we go back home, why pick this time?

All this happened very quickly, and they were only three or four stories above the ground. Any slower and they would probably become a couple in the Underworld.

Hurriedly pushing Lin Yi away, Li Chen shouted, "Hold on to me tight!"

After that, he held the belt in his left hand and during their descent, he accurately threw it, and immediately the belt, with its buckle, whirled, spinning and forming a knot, temporarily securing it on an exposed steel bar of the second floor.

The momentum of their fall suddenly halted, and just like that, they stopped in mid-air.

Breathing out a sigh of relief, this had truly been a thrilling experience. Fucking hell, he never wanted to play like this ever again.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi kept her eyes closed and then murmured, "Husband, did we die?"

"Silly girl, if you were dead, could you speak?"

If Li Chen’s hands had been free, he would have probably pinched Lin Yi’s nose right then.

Lin Yi opened her eyes, only to find the two of them suspended in mid-air, with Li Chen securing the steel bar with his belt.

This worked too?

Lin Yi blinked her beautiful eyes, and Li Chen chuckled, "Why don’t you kiss your husband quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly became shy, giving Li Chen a quick peck on the cheek, but she suddenly found herself unable to say the word ’husband’.

But at that moment, "Boom," a booming explosion echoed throughout the building, and the couple looked up to see explosions spreading from the high floors downward, and it seemed as if they would reach them soon.
