Chapter 431: Chapter 405: Encounter with the Li Siblings Again

Over there, due to Zhong Tian’s final ferocious burst, he single-handedly held off the Ghost King and his men, who were utterly unable to break through Zhong Tian’s defense.

"First, take down this fatso," the Ghost King said coldly, a flash of icy determination crossing his eyes. Considering Li Chen had sustained such severe injuries this time, there would be no rush in capturing him later.

Several men immediately took Zhong Tian down to the ground, where he lay gasping for breath, his body covered in blood. Although he was still struggling, he barely had any strength left.

"Kill him?" one man gestured to the Ghost King, whose gaze, fixated on Zhong Tian, began to flicker.

...

Li Chen was fast, holding two girls and running ahead. His heart was filled with urgency, and once he felt they had reached a safe place, he set the two girls down.

"Wait here for me. I’m going back for Zhong Tian," Li Chen said. The Ginseng Doll sat on Lin Yi’s shoulder, watching Li Chen with a wailing noise from its mouth, its eyes filled with urgency.

"Husband, be careful," Lin Yi blurted out as she saw Li Chen turning to sprint away, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Anxiously, Yue’er said by her side, "President Lin, are we going to die here?"

"No, we won’t," Lin Yi said firmly.

She believed in Li Chen; as long as he was there, they would be rescued, just like how he had bravely stormed into the Lin Family, leapt off cliffs, and annihilated the Li Family before—she had confidence in him.

Meanwhile, Li Chen’s heart raced with urgency. His master had sent Zhong Tian to train with him, and as his senior disciple, it was his duty to protect him!

Thinking that his naive junior brother had sacrificed himself to cover his escape filled Li Chen’s heart with rage and ignited a fiery anger within him.

Li Chen quickly rushed back to the site, only to find nothing but a pool of blood left behind.

"A Tian!"

Li Chen yelled out, but his voice only echoed back; the Ghost King and his men, along with Zhong Tian, were nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a deep pool of blood on the ground.

The blood was all Zhong Tian’s, and the density of the pool was a testament to the severity of his wounds.

Fury and deep sorrow filled his heart. Damn it, if it hadn’t been for his last injury, the Ghost King and his men wouldn’t have been a match for him at all.

A series of injuries had led him to this situation, and Li Chen’s strength was now hardly one-fifth of what it used to be.

He had two systems within his body; he used to frequently use True Qi, but the more powerful was the Mysterious Energy. However, using Mysterious Energy would suppress the True Qi and even damage the meridians within his body, rendering him unable to utilize his True Qi.

The Ghost King and his cohort had already left. Li Chen checked the area for any clues, but found nothing.

With no other choice, Li Chen had to head back.

He had intended to leave the two girls at a safe spot and then go back to rescue Zhong Tian with all his might, but clearly, that plan had fallen through.

Li Chen rushed back, now having to take it one step at a time with Lin Yi and the girls, but when he reached the spot where he’d left them, he couldn’t find them either!

Li Chen stood stunned; Lin Yi was indeed gone, and so were Yue’er and the Ginseng Doll.

Damn!

Someone had been here again!

Li Chen knew that Lin Yi always listened to him and was also very smart. Under such circumstances, she would definitely not run off randomly. Therefore, there was only one possibility: they were kidnapped.

Who exactly was it?

Li Chen was furious. These incidents happening one after another made him feel an overwhelming rage!

"Lin Yi!"

Li Chen shouted, and just then, a voice came from not too far away, "I am here, ah!"

The voice was only momentary and was reflected by the surrounding walls into countless echoes, surely heard by others in different locations.

Hearing that scream, Li Chen was shocked, and without hesitation, he immediately rushed towards that direction.

Zhong Tian was his junior, Lin Yi was his woman; for Li Chen, family was the most precious thing. Whoever targeted his loved ones would have to die!

Back then, in a fit of rage, he had slaughtered the Li Family because they repeatedly targeted Lin Yi, which he could not allow. And now, someone was trying to abduct Lin Yi, which was also unacceptable to him.

Lin Yi was the woman of the King of the Netherworld, and no one was allowed to touch her!

On the other hand, the Li siblings were also in the maze, accompanied by a group of mercenaries, who were the same ones who had followed Li Xinmei to snipe at Li Chen.

They were known by a very prominent nickname: Rattlesnake!

The Rattlesnake Mercenary Corps was previously ranked fifth in the world, each member’s strength tremendously formidable; combined, they could even battle it out with top-level masters.

What they were best at was that each person had a sniper rifle. Li Chen could dodge bullets, but facing the sniping of seven Rattlesnakes, he had also been suppressed, which shows just how terrifying their sniping skills were.

It was like in high-level combat among masters where there’s talk of using energy to lock onto opponents, these seven Rattlesnakes, once equipped with sniper rifles, locked on similarly with energy, never missing a shot and also able to disrupt the opponent’s rhythm!

Although it was unknown what cost Li Xinmei had paid to employ them, with Rattlesnake’s help, Li Xinmei’s power absolutely surged.

Li Xinmei was a woman skilled at navigating social nuances. In fact, her managerial abilities had been outstanding back when she was in the Li Family, only that she never had a place to demonstrate them.

At this moment, the Li siblings were watching Lin Yi and Yue’er, who were surrounded by Rattlesnakes.

All seven members of Rattlesnake were present, each carrying an almost identical sniper rifle on their back, making them stand out remarkably.

"Long time no see, Miss Lin." Li Xinmei’s face wore a smile, although it looked like a smile, it gave off a chilling coldness akin to winter, making one feel a shiver from deep within.

"Xinmei, why are you capturing me?" Lin Yi looked at the two people in front of her, feeling ominous, yet she pretended to be unaware, "We were such good friends in our childhood."

"Really?" Li Xinmei’s eyes held a hint of disdain, but her smile persisted, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I was the one who bombed the Lin’s Group building that day."

"You!" Lin Yi’s pupils dilated upon hearing this.

Li Xinmei dropped her smile and said lightly, "We have no grudges, but since you’re Li Chen’s woman, we do now. You annihilated my Li Family, and now you must pay with blood!"
