Chapter 406: Chapter 381: Rampage!

Hearing these words, a heaviness couldn’t help but sink into Li Chen’s heart. Li Yang stood there motionless, but beneath the mask, there was a sneer.

Li Chen had long investigated the group in Linchuan thoroughly, so, as a precautionary measure, he had already bribed the water carriers. The water was filled with a liquid that could react chemically with the incense smoke.

At this moment, the wind was gently blowing, seeming to grow stronger, and the incense stick within the temple burned along with the wind.

By now, it had burned halfway through.

The monks continued to chant scriptures, oblivious to what was happening outside.

Li Chen stood there, while his subordinates had already surrounded Li Yang. However, suddenly, one of them felt as if all his strength had drained away, as if it had been sucked out of him, and then he just collapsed to the ground. Following him, the others from the Palace of the Nether King felt as if they had lost all their strength as well, unable to even stand steadily, and they slumped to the ground one by one.

One by one, they suddenly fell to the ground. What had been a group of more than a dozen people standing, had in an instant all collapsed.

"Hahaha!" Li Yang laughed wildly, "Li Chen, how’s that? Your men here are nothing but trash."

Li Chen’s expression darkened!

Li Yang sneered, the manic laughter resounding, "Today’s duel is just between the two of us, no one else can interfere. I want to tear you apart with my own hands!"

With that, Li Yang charged toward Li Chen with a ferocious face.

His momentum was overwhelming!

This time, he was certain that Li Chen was utterly powerless to retaliate, so he wanted to personally execute him!

To kill Li Chen was to avenge the Li Family!

"Today, you will undoubtedly die!"

Li Yang roared, his energy surging even higher, and as Li Chen watched the formidable Li Yang, he calmly stated, "Do you really think that a mere poisoning will kill me?"

"You underestimate me, Li Chen, far too much!" As his words fell, the mysterious energy within Li Chen suddenly spread throughout his body, instantly taking over from the True Qi and controlling his body, and almost instantaneously, Li Chen emanated an extremely terrifying and violent aura!

Usually, Li Chen relied on True Qi, which was sufficient for dealing with lesser foes, but only against the Main God would he need to use the Mysterious Energy.

It was as if Li Chen had voluntarily unlocked his own seal!

Even though unlocking this seal was dangerous!

But now, Li Chen had no choice but to do it!

Li Yang, who was charging at Li Chen, suddenly felt alarmed because Li Chen’s aura had drastically changed, becoming unstoppably fierce and causing him to tremble with fear.

What’s going on?

Li Yang’s eyes flickered uncertainly; he couldn’t figure out what had happened to Li Chen. Logically, the poison should have made him weaker over time and lasted for five days, during which he shouldn’t have been able to muster any strength!

But why did Li Chen, despite being exposed to the poison smoke for such a long time, show no signs of collapsing?

Li Yang was perplexed, but at this moment, he couldn’t afford to ponder any longer since he realized his momentum was waning while he paused.

One must strike before losing momentum; hesitation leads to weakness and eventual exhaustion in battle.

Therefore, he could not hesitate any longer; Li Yang decisively rushed forward to Li Chen and swung his leg fiercely toward Li Chen in mid-air!

"Die!"

Li Yang roared, but in Li Chen’s eyes, there was only cold indifference. His left hand reached out, catching Li Yang in mid-air.

What’s happening?

Li Yang was stunned, then locked eyes with Li Chen, his heart trembling at that moment.

What kind of look was that?

Bloody, indifferent, as if he had spent a long time walking through mountains of corpses, as if he had emerged from a sea of blood.

"The one who will die is you!"

Li Chen’s left hand flung Li Yang fiercely in mid-air, and in an instant, Li Yang was like a thrown ball, hurled forward by Li Chen, his body tracing a parabola in the air and smashing against the temple wall!

Li Yang was horrified. Why did Li Chen seem like a completely different person all of a sudden, and why was he completely unaffected by the poison smoke?

This was impossible! Just moments ago, Li Chen had been weak and powerless; why had he become so terrifying all of a sudden?

And now, as Li Yang’s body was still in mid-air, Li Chen had already sprinted beneath him as swiftly as the wind, reaching him before he even touched the ground!

Realizing the dire situation, Li Yang was still in mid-air, completely beyond his control.

Li Chen punched upward vigorously, and Li Yang tried to block with his hands, but when the punch landed, the massive force seemed nearly enough to engulf him.

And under the impact of this punch, his arms felt as if they had been penetrated, turning limp and weak.

Li Yang was horrified, his hands had lost all sensation, one punch had numbed his arms!

My goodness!

What kind of force is this?

Li Yang had no time to struggle anymore. After Li Chen’s punch, he grabbed Li Yang’s numb right arm and then fiercely smashed it against the wall beside them!

Just like that, smashing it as if swinging a huge hammer, Li Yang inwardly cursed in alarm, but it was already too late. As the wall grew closer and closer, it suddenly and loudly collapsed under the impact.

Above Li Yang’s head, blood was everywhere, and his body was covered in dust. His mask had fallen off halfway, but before he could react, Li Chen had already grabbed him again and fiercely hurled him forward.

It was like playing a flying ball game, with Li Yang becoming the ball, effortlessly caught in mid-air by Li Chen.

Damn it!

Li Yang cursed silently in his heart. Why was Li Chen so terrifying? If this continued, he would be beaten to death by him!

Li Yang’s body fell again, and Li Chen was once more waiting at his landing spot. He tapped his foot, leaping into the air, then fiercely kicked towards Li Yang.

This mid-air spinning kick, as if carrying the force of ten thousand catties, seemed as though it could split mountains and break stones, fiercely smashing towards Li Yang!

Startled, Li Yang instinctively kicked out as well.

Crack!

A crisp sound followed as Li Chen’s kick fiercely landed on Li Yang’s shin. In an instant, Li Yang’s eyes bulged out. With that kick, he could feel his leg seeming to snap into two!

Excruciating pain!

The pain spread through Li Yang’s nerves, but before he could cry out, Li Chen had already punched him again, smashing him down hard towards the ground.

"Boom"

A loud crash followed, and Li Yang was smashed back onto the ground in front of the temple while Li Chen stood in front of him, feeling only slightly warm from the effort.

Li Yang coughed continuously, his previously masked face now revealed and bloodied, with froth at the corners of his mouth. Several of his ribs were broken.

His right shin appeared as if it had been forcibly broken, his clothes were in tatters, and now lying on the ground, all he could do was gasp for air.

Why?

Why!

Li Yang felt an unwilling rage in his heart. Why had his well-set trap resulted in his own defeat, his own leg broken by Li Chen? Why did it turn out this way?

"I told you, you’re too weak," Li Chen said indifferently.

The shock had not yet faded from Li Yang’s eyes, "This is impossible, why weren’t you affected by the poison smoke?"

"Nothing is impossible," Li Chen replied coldly, "You lost, and as the losing side, the price is usually paid in blood."

"Haha, cough," Li Yang sneered, "Even if I lost, do you think you can kill me?"

Li Chen frowned, but at that moment, a crying voice came from behind: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Xiaoxiao?

Suddenly, Li Chen turned around to see Lin Xiaoxiao, crying and walking out from the entrance of the temple, seeming very sad yet somewhat dazed, apparently not noticing Li Chen.

"Xiaoxiao!" alarmed, Li Chen ran towards Lin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?"

Li Chen reached Lin Xiaoxiao and asked with concern.

"Ah! You, who are you? Don’t come closer, go away, go away!" Lin Xiaoxiao shouted in panic, waving her hands, as if she was frightened by something.

Li Chen felt a pang in his heart, extremely worried, "Xiaoxiao, it’s me, your brother-in-law. What happened, did something happen?"

Although he didn’t know what Lin Xiaoxiao had experienced, it was clear that her mental state was extremely unstable, like a very panicked and frightened child.

Li Chen felt very guilty, if only he had followed her, then Xiaoxiao would have been fine. It was all his fault.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law," Lin Xiaoxiao was calling out, but suddenly, her face turned extremely frightened, and she screamed out loud, "You, you’re not my brother-in-law, go away!"

Lin Xiaoxiao stepped back in panic, and Li Chen felt an unbearable heartache. If anything really happened to Xiaoxiao, he would definitely blame himself to death.

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, it’s me, I’m your brother-in-law, there, it’s okay now, your brother-in-law is here," Li Chen embraced Lin Xiaoxiao, trying to console her.

And in his arms, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to quiet down quite a bit, although her body was still shivering.

"It’s okay, it’s okay," Li Chen hugged Lin Xiaoxiao, cradling her head.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law," Lin Xiaoxiao kept mumbling.

Li Chen was holding Lin Xiaoxiao, but just then, a dagger suddenly appeared from the sleeve of Lin Xiaoxiao, held tightly in her hand!

A fierce look flashed across Lin Xiaoxiao’s pretty face as she clenched the dagger and drove it directly into Li Chen’s chest!

The sudden turn of events gave Li Chen no time to react, and only when pain shot through his chest did he realize that the dagger had pierced his heart!

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to kill him?

Li Chen’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe it was happening.
