Chapter 407 - 382: Break the Situation with Strength!

Chapter 407: Chapter 382: Break the Situation with Strength!

Before the temple, the silence was profound, and the chilly breeze of early autumn added a sense of desolation to the open mountains.

Li Chen was still holding Lin Xiaoxiao, whose dagger was now embedded in Li Chen’s heart.

At that moment, the raging power within Li Chen seemed to stall as if that single stab had drained all his strength.

The heart, the most vital part of a person, was pierced by the dagger, seemingly stopping its beat.

Fortunately, that energy quickly gathered into his heart, and the organ, which had stopped, began to beat again. Even the dagger lodged in the heart seemed to pulsate with a "thump-thump" sound.

"Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong with you?" There was a hint of sadness in Li Chen’s eyes, while Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to have gone mad, clawing wildly.

"Hahaha!"

A wild laughter emerged from behind, and Li Yang stood up, appearing extremely pleased, "You didn’t expect this, did you? There’s no escape from this trap."

"What’s wrong with her?" Li Chen asked coldly.

"Poisoned." Li Yang took out a pill and swallowed it, his injuries visibly improving, "But different from the poison you suffered; she is under my control. She no longer remembers who she is, only that I am her master."

Li Yang’s lips seemed to mock, "No matter how strong you are, how long can you last with a knife in your heart?"

Li Chen gently patted Lin Xiaoxiao on the back of the neck as she struggled, immediately, she fainted!

After laying Lin Xiaoxiao on the ground, Li Chen turned around, facing the triumphant Li Yang, his demeanor as cold as an icy storm.

"You’re that confident?" Li Chen spoke coldly.

"You only have one way out: death." Li Yang smiled, although one of his legs was broken, he could still stand on one leg, after all, he had learned some kung fu.

Just then, Li Chen felt as though a black hole had appeared in his body. His energy and True Qi seemed to be drawn out, his whole body growing extremely weak.

"In this game, the last winner is still me," Li Yang laughed heartily.

Li Chen felt as if he was about to black out, but the pent-up anger inside him only grew stronger.

"The one who should die is you!"

Li Chen suddenly roared, his shout seemingly suppressing all other sounds around, and that violent energy swept through the area.

The monks inside the temple grew restless and agitated, but they chanted even faster. Some assassins hidden within the temple, under the impact of the shout, seemed to lose control over their bodies, feeling dizzy.

Li Yang also stepped back repeatedly, as if about to fall, his eyes wide with horror as he looked at Li Chen, who seemed like a true demon at that moment, one who had fallen into the abyss.

Li Yang started to panic, and Li Chen boldly walked toward him, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Li Yang must die!

"Did you think I didn’t have a backup plan?" Li Yang, a bit pale, suddenly whistled, and from the temple, countless hidden assassins surged out!

These people were part of the killer move Li Yang had set up earlier, and the monks had long been under his control.

Dozens of people emerged from the temple and surrounded Li Chen.

However, Li Chen did not move, his expression unchanged.

"Is this your last resort?" Li Chen remained unflustered.

"To deal with you now, it’s enough," Li Yang said, then a ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes. He clenched his right fist, and the assassins, receiving the signal, all launched their attack on Li Chen.

This time, seriously injured, how could you possibly struggle?

A cold look flashed in Li Yang’s eyes, The revenge of the Li Family must be paid with your blood!

Having carefully set this trap, today he would surely put you to death!

Mad with anticipation, Li Yang could almost see Li Chen screaming in agony under the onslaught, falling to the ground.

This was the scene he had hoped to witness, the scene he was about to watch!

A master who had lost his power and was seriously injured was no different from an ordinary person, like a tiger caught in a trap.

Li Yang watched Li Chen, his face full of madness, but the next second, it was as if he had swallowed a fly, his eyes bulging as if he had seen a ghost.

This, this was absolutely impossible!

Yet there it was, Li Chen, previously surrounded, displayed astonishing combat power, and none of the advancing assassins could withstand a single move from him!

The assassin directly in front of him was lifted by Li Chen with a flick, a fierce slap in the jaw sending him flying into the air, the man even rendered unconscious.

The assassin approaching from behind got kicked by Li Chen in the solar plexus. It was just one kick, but it seemed as if the man had been hit by a sledgehammer. Blood spurted from his mouth, and then he fell to the ground, unconscious.

And those assassins rushing from the sides were simply punched by Li Chen, all being sent flying.

Then, Li Chen’s figure shifted erratically, like a fleeting shadow, beyond the reach of the assassins. At this moment, countless assassins seemed to be struck down, either collapsing directly or being flung away, creating a completely one-sided slaughter.

Li Yang’s heart seemed to tremble with fear, and he was utterly dumbfounded. Why was he still so fierce when his heart had been stabbed?

What on earth was this man’s body made of?

Li Yang felt his hands tremble slightly as he watched the assassins he had called for an ambush being torn apart by Li Chen like mere paper dolls.

One by one, the assassins soon dwindled to just a few. Even these emotionless killing machines trained as assassins felt fear in their eyes.

Was this man even human?

Did he still belong to the category of normal human beings?

So many people against one, and he still had a dagger lodged in his chest, but he effortlessly slaughtered his own group as if the dagger had no effect on him, just a mere decoration.

Witnessing Li Chen’s bloodthirsty gaze and the blood splattered on his body, the assassins all wanted to flee.

Four assassins looked at each other and suddenly turned and ran in different directions, as if desperately wanting to escape from there.

It was too terrifying; at this moment, they only wanted to get as far away from Li Chen as possible.

But Li Chen was now killing with enthusiasm, and with the rage in his heart needing release, he suddenly flashed towards one of them.

At the same time, he stomped his foot, flinging several daggers into the air, and with a swipe loaded with ferocious energy, the daggers flew towards the other three.

The assassin was caught up by Li Chen before he could even turn around, only feeling a gust of wind from behind before his head was forcibly twisted off!

Simultaneously, three sounds of "puff puff puff" were heard as the other three assassins were also killed by Li Chen directly!

In an instant, in front of the temple, the only ones standing were Li Chen and Li Yang, amidst the corpses of assassins and the collapsed bodies of those from the Palace of the Nether King.

The mountain breeze brought not the fresh scent of grass and the fragrance of Buddhism, but a strong smell of fresh blood!

The ground was covered in the bodies of the assassins, their blood overpowering all other scents.

Li Chen stood among these bodies looking toward Li Yang, who no longer had his earlier composure or smug arrogance, replaced instead by jealousy and wariness!

Li Chen’s strength far surpassed his imagination.

For this plot, he had set several traps: the first ring was poisoning Li Chen to drain his strength, but, bizarrely, it did not affect him.

The second ring involved using Lin Xiaoxiao to stab Li Chen directly in the heart; though injured, his combat power surged even more frighteningly, as if the worse he was injured, the more terrifying his power became!

The Third Ring, these elite assassins set in ambush, couldn’t even stand one move against him, being instantly killed upon encounter, which left Li Yang bewildered by such terrifying strength!

And now, Li Chen was walking towards him!

Li Yang couldn’t help but step back, muttering, "Impossible, this is impossible!"

Li Yang couldn’t believe what was happening before him; why was his perfect plot still annihilated by Li Chen?

"I told you, you are too weak!" There was a gleam in Li Chen’s eyes; the next second, he had already appeared in front of Li Yang.

Li Yang was startled and wanted to resist, but when his left hand swung towards Li Chen, it was immediately caught by him.

With a twist, a cracking sound was heard, and that arm was broken.

The other hand met the same fate, and then Li Chen punched Li Yang hard in the abdomen, as if forcing out his gall.

With that punch, Li Yang was sent flying back, violently hitting a large tree, the sheer force seemingly about to break the tree, with countless leaves shaken down.

"Cough, cough!" Li Yang leaned against the tree, watching Li Chen continue walking towards him, a twisted smile appearing on his face.

"Ha ha ha!" Li Yang burst out laughing, "Could it be that I, am going to die at the hands of a mere ant? That’s just laughable, ha ha ha!"

"You might as well laugh in Hell!"

As Li Chen’s words fell, he threw another punch at Li Yang, but suddenly, Li Yang’s body swayed and he dodged the punch.

"Boom"

The punch hit the thick tree, spreading cracks along the trunk, and the tree was directly broken!

Li Chen snorted coldly, and Li Yang, losing support, was already lying on the ground, no longer able to resist.

Now, it was time to end it!

Li Chen stomped toward Li Yang, but at that moment, he felt his pores open and a powerful sense of crisis engulfing him!

He suddenly looked up towards the distant forest!
