Chapter 309: Chapter 286 Here, Your Burial Ground!

The three played on the mountain top for a while and even held hands and frolicked a bit; then Lin Xiaoxiao suggested they take a photo.

"Sis, come over here," Lin Xiaoxiao said, holding her phone. She pulled both Li Chen and Lin Yi over to a pavilion, and then found a tourist to take a picture of them together.

Sitting in the pavilion, the three of them sat down to rest. The cool breeze was blowing, making it exceptionally comfortable.

Just sitting like this, Li Chen was in the middle, with Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao sitting on either side. Gradually, Lin Yi leaned her head on Li Chen’s shoulder, and Lin Xiaoxiao did the same.

Li Chen was initially bemused but soon didn’t say much, enjoying this faint romance.

Many times, happiness can be defined in many ways; the simplest one might be being able to snuggle up with the one you love.

The state of mind Li Chen now possessed had altered significantly from when he was abroad. Back then, personal strength was most important to him, but now, he felt that the most important thing was the woman by his side.

The tourists around them were also enjoying the scenery at the mountain top when suddenly, they saw a group of men dressed in black approaching.

Dressed all in black, they looked just like the black-clothed assassins from ancient TV dramas, which made the tourists stare in astonishment. These men didn’t seem to be here to enjoy the view.

"What are these people up to?"

Almost everyone had this question in their minds, and some even noticed the weapons carried by these men clad in black - all cold weapons. This confused them even further, but sensing the evil qi emanating from these men, they didn’t hazard confrontation.

Just as Li Chen was sitting there with the two women, he suddenly sensed something awry and turned around only to find a group of men dressed in black standing behind him.

Li Chen’s heart sank instantly.

"Baby, Xiaoxiao, you two get up first," Li Chen said. Lin Xiaoxiao was almost asleep when she heard Li Chen’s serious tone. Although initially reluctant, she turned her head and saw the group of men in black.

Both Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao started to panic, but Li Chen held onto their hands, sitting there unmoving as he coldly observed the group of men in black. From them, he could sense a formidable strength, not far off from the masters he had encountered in North America. However, this time, there were many of these men in black.

It was clear he had been calculated against; someone was targeting him.

Almost immediately, Li Chen’s mind raced through his list of enemies, while the tourists around, witnessing this eerie scene, began to feel bewildered. What was going on? Why did the atmosphere feel so charged and wrong?

The number of men in black continued to grow; these masters, totaling over fifty, were without exception, highly skilled.

The equipment carried by these men in black also varied, but every weapon was one they were adept with.

Li Chen didn’t speak, merely looking indifferently at the group of men in black. At that moment, several distinct-looking men walked from behind the group.

One of them appeared to be quite the rogue, his clothes carelessly draped on, chewing gum in his mouth, and hands in his pockets. However, his strength was formidable.

The Heaven, Earth, and Men Rankings, along with the Main God Ranking, record skilled fighters, but some masters don’t appear on these lists because they hide their strength. Aside from those lists, there are many strong individuals, their force as vast as the ocean.

Indeed, with the world being so vast, a few lists can’t possibly account for all the masters.

Beyond these three rankings, there are other lists curated by various industries, including a killers’ ranking based on strength, killing methods, and the difficulty of completed assignments, which is another way to gauge skill. That man chewing gum is a master from the killers’ list, known as An Dao.

An Dao, ranked tenth on the list, had voluntarily taken on this mission, motivated by the substantial reward.

Then, in Li Chen’s field of vision, another figure appeared: a white-haired elder whose inner breath was steady and breaths lengthy, a clear indication of another master.

The third person was quite the character, dressed and behaving like an ancient scholar, holding and fanning himself with a folding fan.

The strength of these three individuals was powerful, but it didn’t end there. Five more with similar auras stepped forward, standing in front of the men in black, looking at Li Chen who remained seated.

"Brother-in-law, are they coming for us?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked nervously, having never before witnessed such a spectacle.

"No, they’re coming for me," Li Chen answered calmly, shaking his head, then he stood up. "Xiaoxiao, later you two should leave directly, don’t stay here."

"No, brother-in-law, I want to stay with you," Lin Xiaoxiao insisted immediately. Although Lin Yi didn’t speak, her intentions were equally clear.

Li Chen turned to look at Lin Yi, "Baby, trust me. Take Xiaoxiao and leave first, I can handle this by myself."

After saying this, Li Chen looked at the few people and then slowly walked forward.

The tourists nearby were flabbergasted. What was unfolding before them? Had they stumbled onto a movie set? Were these people acting?

"Li Chen?" An Dao said with a smile, chewing gum.

"It’s me," Li Chen said indifferently, "I don’t know who would call such a large array to deal with me."

"Taking money to eliminate disasters for others," An Dao shrugged, "As for the patron, they’re right behind."

Li Chen’s gaze passed over several people, looking directly towards the back, where a figure was also walking towards this side.

Seeing the figure, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly: "It’s you?"

He should have thought of it earlier, after he had killed the other party’s son, how could the other party let things go?

The person coming was none other than the head of the Yanjing Li Family, Li Zheng.

"Did you think, with that undying old thing protecting you, you could escape unscathed?" Li Zheng said coldly, "Little did you expect, I’ve been preparing for today for a long time."

And Lin Yi, seeing Li Zheng, was also stunned: "Uncle Li, what are you doing? Our families are old friends."

Li Zheng’s gaze fell on the Lin sisters behind, and he sneered coldly: "Old friends? If we were, would you have crippled Xinshan? If we were, would you have laid your hands on him and killed him?"

Lin Yi took a step forward: "Uncle Li, this was all my doing, it has nothing to do with him, please let Li Chen go."

"Don’t worry, not a single one of you will escape," Li Zheng said coldly.

Li Chen’s heart sank a little: "You’re going to kill her?"

"Kill her? No, I’m only going to kill you, as for her..." Li Zheng’s eyes held a cold laugh, "Out of respect for Lin Shu, I won’t lay a hand on her, but she will have to pay a price."

The tourists around, watching the conversation between the two sides, were also rather shocked; however, they didn’t quite dare to step forward because it was clear the side with Li Zheng wasn’t to be trifled with.

The standoff seemed to fall silent for a moment, then Li Chen spoke lightly: "Just with these people, you think you can kill me? You can give it a try."

As soon as these words came out, those experts all raised their eyebrows. Such arrogance. An Dao, who had been chewing gum, suddenly stopped his jaw motion, then resumed, but his face now wore a faint, almost imperceptible cold smile.

The scholar also stopped the motion of his fan, and then a flash of light flickered in his eyes, while the white-haired elder, with his hands behind his back, began to exude an aura.

The corner of Li Zheng’s mouth twitched, seemingly with amusement: "There’s no rush. Today you face certain death, because today, those few old fellows won’t be showing up."

Li Chen frowned, knowing that the "old fellows" Li Zheng spoke of were his grandfathers.

Seeing Li Chen’s reaction, Li Zheng seemed to revel in his delight. He was determined to crush Li Chen both verbally and in power.

"Do you know why it’s such a coincidence? Those old fellows have gone to explore a relic, and I took action against you almost immediately?" Li Zheng’s eyes held mockery: "Because I was the one who leaked the news of the relic to them."

At this moment, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly shrank.

"No one can save you today," Li Zheng said, as murderous intent burst forth from his body. He had to kill Li Chen with his own hands to avenge the death of his son!

At this time, it seemed that the mountaintop manager had also received the news and realized something was amiss here, running over.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a hat, running towards Li Zheng and shouting, "This is a scenic area, what do you think you are doing?"

The surrounding tourists felt a sense of relief, hoping that with the mountaintop manager’s arrival things wouldn’t escalate, but in the next second, the situation shocked them, and some women screamed out.

The mountaintop manager hadn’t even gotten close when one of the men in black waved his hand. Suddenly, a powerful force surged towards the man in black, sending the mountaintop manager flying, screaming in mid-air, and then plummeting down toward the cliff’s bottom!

In the eyes of the tourists, the mountaintop manager had been flung down by Li Zheng’s people. Falling from such a height, there was no doubt, only death awaited.

"Ah!"

The female tourists screamed, and some tourists stood there dumbfounded. Had they just witnessed a murder?

"Run!" A middle-aged man tugged at his wife, then they both ran towards the bottom of the mountain, while other tourists scattered in chaos. Several bold ones hid behind some rocks and took out their phones, ready to capture whatever was going to happen next.

They had a premonition that what was about to unfold was extraordinary, and Li Chen also knew that what came next meant life or death, either for him or for Li Zheng and his people!

It was a matter of life or death!

The atmosphere began to tense up in the air, and with a gust of cold wind, Li Zheng stared at Li Chen and bellowed, "This place will be your grave!"
