Chapter 441: Chapter 415 Chaos!

Li Chen stood there, the crowd in the distance watching him.

In Li Chen’s hand, he had already picked up the Golden Core, but in that moment, he also felt it was unbearably hot.

Damn it, what is this all about? Every time I encountered a problem in the past, praying to the heavens never worked. And now, just when I want to quietly make a fortune, this Golden Core actually flies right into my hand.

What the fuck!

Li Chen was speechless inside, did it have to screw me over like that, really trying to play me to death?

Li Chen blinked, looking at the group of people staring at him with hostility in their eyes.

"King of the Netherworld!" Ghost King exclaimed in shock. He had never anticipated that, in the end, the Golden Core would end up in Li Chen’s hands.

"We can’t let him get the Golden Core!" Li Xinmei also grew anxious. With Li Chen’s frightening capabilities, if he got the Golden Core as well, wouldn’t that make him even more powerful?

"He got the Golden Core!" a mercenary spoke out.

"Hand it over!"

"Yes, hand it over!"

A crowd was shouting, all eyes on Li Chen filled with greed and murderous intent. If Li Chen dared to keep the Golden Core to himself, it could be said that the next second he would be torn to shreds by the people!

Li Chen glanced at the crowd, those mercenaries still yelling loudly, "You would do best to hand it over, otherwise, you won’t make it out of here!"

Threats!

However, Li Chen said indifferently, "What if I don’t?"

The crowd was buzzing with eagerness to move, their greed not at all disguised, clearly ready to rush in and snatch it away!

Apollo, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and then a pleased smile crossed his face as he said, "I never expected the King of the Netherworld to be the one to get the Golden Core. I think, with your strength, you are indeed qualified to have this Golden Core."

King of the Netherworld?

All of a sudden, the crowd was taken aback, then a stir, the King of the Netherworld ranked third on the Main God Ranking?

With this revelation, the greedy desire in some people’s eyes lessened somewhat, their looks hesitant. This was the King of the Netherworld, the one who single-handedly slaughtered over eight hundred people of a Mercenary Corps—this feat was well-known within the Mercenary World.

One could say Li Chen’s name as the God of Slaughter had already spread throughout the entire Mercenary World.

So many mercenaries hesitated, which stunned Li Xinmei and Ghost King. They had thought taking the Golden Core would incite public outrage, but they didn’t expect Li Chen’s reputation to be so terrifying, with not a single person daring to come forward?

Li Xinmei thought of a method, holding a whip in her hand, she yelled, "Li Chen, if you don’t hand over the item, I will kill your junior brother!"

All eyes turned to Li Xinmei, Li Chen’s expression grew dark under their gaze. With a swing, Li Xinmei lashed her whip hard against Zhong Tian’s body.

"Whack"

A crisp sound emerged, tearing a piece of flesh from Zhong Tian’s back. The whip had barbs, making the strike incredibly painful.

Zhong Tian who was already at death’s door, took this whip, seemingly grunted, but then closed his eyes, offering no reaction.

Rage seemed about to burst from Li Chen’s eyes. This ruthless woman, once in his grasp, he would definitely kill her!

"Are you going to hand it over or not?" Li Xinmei shouted loudly, her tone seemingly relishing the power she held over Li Chen’s life or death.

That’s right, that’s how it should be. I will make you dance in my hands. The grudge of the Li family must be avenged!

On the other side, the Dark Council’s Man in Black Robe also did not move. The several Main Gods were quietly observing the changes. Li Chen’s strength, at least on paper, was absolutely the strongest among all present, ranking third on the Main God Ranking!

In Apollo’s eyes, there was a trace of wariness. Initially, he and Brahma accepted an invitation from Ghost King to join forces against Li Chen, and unexpectedly, the two combined were not Li Chen’s match, which created a shadow in his heart towards Li Chen.

He even suspected that Li Chen’s strength could contend with the two ranked above him!

Brian kept silent, his mind remarkably sharp, realizing that quietly observing the situation was the best choice for now.

Li Xinmei’s whip fell hard again on Zhong Tian, and everyone noticed that Li Chen’s face showed an expression of anger.

At this point, Zhong Tian also seemed to have lost consciousness, letting Li Xinmei beat him without any response.

Just then, someone shouted, "So what if he’s the King of the Netherworld? Even if he’s strong, he’s just one person, and we’ve got so many here. Are we still afraid of him?"

The crowd thought about it and felt relieved. Right, we have so many people on our side, it doesn’t matter how strong the King of the Netherworld is; our side isn’t lacking in experts either.

"It doesn’t matter who you are; if you don’t hand over the item today, be ready to embrace death!" someone yelled out loud.

As the mercenaries overcame their fear, they pulled out firearms and aimed at Li Chen, ready to pull the trigger if he dared utter another word of refusal!

Li Xinmei watched Li Chen coldly. She didn’t believe Li Chen would comply. The Golden Core had to be handed over, no question about it.

"You want it?" Li Chen said coldly, "Then here, take it."

Having said that, Li Chen flicked his finger and the Golden Core shot towards Li Xinmei at high speed!

This sudden change left everyone dumbfounded. Was it really handed over just like that?

The Ghost King furrowed his brow, still fixating on Li Chen. After following Li Chen for so long, this didn’t quite seem like his character.

But the group of mercenaries didn’t care about that. As soon as they saw the Golden Core being handed over again, the frenzy was reignited.

"Golden Core, Golden Core!"

Everyone charged madly towards the Ghost King and his people, with the Ghost King’s followers also growing desirous of the flying Golden Core.

But some were faster. Several powerful Main Gods immediately acted the moment the Golden Core flew out, snatching it midair.

"Brian, why don’t you obediently go back to your Arctic Circle?" Apollo said, while his fist smashed towards Brian.

Brian snorted coldly, striking back, "You should be the one rolling back to Mount Olympus."

As the two exchanged blows, the man in the black robe swiftly passed by them.

"Scram!"

Both fighters, seeing the man in the black robe reaching for the Golden Core, struck simultaneously, blasting him away, then continued their struggle for the Golden Core.

On Li Chen’s side, he picked up the stone that had been placed under the Golden Core; his action was fully witnessed by the Ghost King.

The Ghost King’s pupils contracted, his mind flashing like lightning—could it be that there was a Golden Core inside this stone?

This thought made it seem more and more likely. Otherwise, why would that stone be placed together with the Golden Core?

Just as the Ghost King was about to lead his people in a charge, Li Chen had already forcefully split open the stone. Upon seeing what was inside, the Ghost King paused, thinking he overthought it, then burst into laughter.

"King of the Netherworld, I can’t believe you’d throw away the Golden Core just to get that stone."

The Ghost King laughed heartily while Li Chen snorted coldly, flicking the stone in his hand directly towards the Ghost King at high speed.

The situation in the field was chaotic, with no end to the Golden Core’s contest in sight. The main reason was that Brian and others were closely matched in strength, and there was a large group of mercenaries present, none of whom had managed to secure the Golden Core.

Li Chen continued to pick up stones and knock on them. The immediate priority was to find the Golden Core inside the stones.

Li Chen believed that, just like the one Li Yang had thrown before, there would definitely be a Golden Core inside this stone!

Li Xinmei’s gaze swept over and spotted two women standing in a distant corner!

Her eyes lit up, the sinister expression emerging on her face, "If I can’t kill you, I’ll kill your woman first!"

Immediately, Li Xinmei and Li Yang rushed towards Lin Yi!

Seeing Li Xinmei, Lin Yi’s face turned pale with fear, but she could only let them capture her since she knew no martial arts.

Li Chen was still knocking on stones, quickly opening the second one, but it still contained only stone.

Taking the last stone, just as Li Chen was about to break it open, he suddenly heard a sharp scream. The scream was filled with venom and shrillness, "Li Chen!"

Li Chen looked up and was shocked to see Li Xinmei, not far away, had actually captured Lin Yi!

Dammit!

In an instant, Li Chen’s expression darkened, and without a second word, he charged towards Li Xinmei, stone in hand!

"Haha, don’t you think it’s too late now?" Li Xinmei sneered, holding a dagger in her hand. Li Yang stood beside her with another dagger, both of them smirking at the sight of Li Chen’s rage and helplessness.

The surrounding underlings charged at Li Chen. The elites from the Ghost King’s side also came over, blocking Li Chen’s path.

"Li Xinmei, you dare!" Li Chen raged.

"What wouldn’t I dare? You killed my Li Family; now I’ll kill you back!" Li Xinmei said viciously.

Li Yang, on the side, was delighted to see Li Chen’s anger and helplessness and said, "In a while, I will stab her to death, one cut at a time. It’s just a shame to ruin such a pretty face."

Lin Yi turned her head away.

"Oh, still quite defiant." Li Xinmei laughed loudly.

Li Chen, seeing Lin Yi at a distance, clenched his fists so tight they cracked, and the stone in his hands was being rubbed so hard it seemed about to shatter.

Lin Yi, seeing the raging Li Chen comparable to a roaring lion, actually gave a slight smile. That smile was like a final farewell, causing Li Chen a pang of heartache.

At this moment, were they really going to be separated?

No, I haven’t agreed to it, and Li Xinmei certainly won’t let it happen!

Li Xinmei and her brother were thoroughly enjoying themselves, but suddenly, from afar, a loud shout came, "I got it! I got it!"

The surrounding people wanted to rush forward, but the man held fast. Seeing this scene, he said nothing and directly swallowed the Golden Core!

"He actually swallowed it!" A chorus of shocked voices arose, but the next second, everyone realized that the man who had swallowed the Golden Core underwent a sudden transformation!
