Chapter 442: Chapter 416: Kill Him and Dig Out the Golden Core!

The person who had swallowed the Golden Pill, after merely a second, had an expression like that of a dead fish. His eyes were almost bulging out as he tightly clutched his throat with both hands, his mouth open as if trying to vomit out the Golden Pill!

"What is happening?" the people around exclaimed in shock. Under their gaze, the person who had swallowed the Golden Pill’s entire body seemed to emit a faint golden glow.

However, contrary to this, his body was rapidly shriveling up, and he was convulsing all over. Under the golden light, a faint golden hue enveloped him, yet his body was shriveling.

This appearance was clearly a sign of poisoning.

The people around were stunned. Even the Ghost King was taken aback for a moment. How could the Golden Pill cause someone to be poisoned to death?

The people looked at each other perplexedly; no one had informed them that the Golden Pill could also be toxic.

Some people felt a chill of fear. If they had actually managed to grab and swallow that Golden Pill, they would have ended up just like that person.

But at that moment, someone said, "This person must have been too weak. Everyone else had taken the Silver Elixir before, and nothing went wrong. Why did he react like this after taking the Golden Pill?"

"I think so too. The Golden Pill requires certain strength from its user; otherwise, wouldn’t Golden Pills be everywhere?"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed. During the scramble for the Silver Elixir, many had consumed it and not only did they not experience any adverse effects, but they also felt their strength had increased.

If the Silver Elixir had no downside, then surely the Golden Pill wouldn’t either. Ultimately, it must be an issue with the individual who took it.

"But now, the last Golden Pill has been swallowed by him. What do we do?" someone spoke out.

The people turned again to look at the unfortunate soul who was now irreversibly dead, his skin even appearing to have turned golden, but he was utterly rigid and not breathing.

This appearance clearly showed that the Golden Pill had been digested inside his body.

At that moment of silence in the arena, a crisp "snap" sound occurred. Everyone looked and was shocked to realize it had come from Li Chen.

All this had actually happened very quickly. Li Chen took advantage of the moment when their attention was diverted and crushed the last stone in his hand!

And just in that instant, Li Chen felt the roundness that was exposed from inside the stone.

Raising his hand, the mercenaries and experts around him were taken aback because in Li Chen’s hand lay a rotund Golden Pill, lying calmly in his palm.

"Heavens, it’s a Golden Pill!"

"There’s another Golden Pill?!"

"This might be the last one. Quick, grab it!"

The crowd went mad again, as if the Golden Pill could easily stir up their frenzy, overlooking the person who had just died tragically because of it.

In their hearts, the efficacy of the Golden Pill had no drawbacks, but rather, was an issue with the person who ingested it.

For them, the Golden Pill was still a miraculous Pill capable of creating wonders in life!

But the next second, they nearly went mad as Li Chen, in front of everyone, directly swallowed that Golden Pill into his mouth!

Brian’s expression darkened, and Apollo also changed color slightly, unsure of what would happen next.

"Dammit, there was really a Golden Pill inside?" The Ghost King was frustrated. He had noticed Li Chen’s actions earlier but had not brought anyone over. Unexpectedly, there really was a Golden Pill in that stone. It was a miscalculation.

After swallowing this Pill, the situation he had seen in the person before once again occurred: energy surged through his body as if about to burst out, every part of his body filled with power, seemingly able to smash anything blocking his path with just a casual clench of his fist.

Li Chen looked up at Li Xinmei, his cold gaze made Li Xinmei flinch, then she felt as if she were in the chill of a cold night.

The experts previously blocking the way, under Li Chen’s gaze, seemed to develop a fearful mentality, although they quickly dismissed it, they also felt a sense of astonishment.

"Boom."

Li Chen suddenly stomped heavily, and the specially made floor beneath his feet cracked apart under his force, as his body, like a cannonball, charged directly at Li Xinmei and Li Yang!

The people in front tried to block him but couldn’t touch Li Chen at all, only feeling a strong wind pass by them as they were uncontrollably pushed aside by the immense force. By the time they reacted, Li Chen had already charged past them, heading straight for Li Xinmei and Li Yang!

A tremendous killing intent burst forth as Li Chen’s gaze became icy, directly locking onto Li Xinmei and Li Yang!

Without eliminating these two, he would not be at ease!

On the other side, the Ghost King inwardly cursed, regretting not having people follow Li Chen earlier. Although he had just formed an alliance with Li Xinmei and Li Yang, their usefulness to him was significant. They could not just die like this.

Several experts, at a signal from the Ghost King, quickly rushed towards Li Xinmei and Li Yang.

"Get lost!"

Li Chen roared, his right fist clenched, directly smashing towards those several people!

Immense True Qi surged out, Mysterious Energy also sweeping forth, invisibly, the Qi Force like a towering wave, overwhelmingly smashed towards those rushing at him!

The experts hadn’t even got close to Li Chen when, under everyone’s gaze, they were like being heavily struck, spitting out blood, then all of them simultaneously flew backwards.

This scene shocked everyone around.

But more people rushed towards Li Chen.

"Charge, force out his Golden Core!"

"He swallowed the Golden Core, we can’t just let him go!"

A large crowd shouted, this group, blinded by their desire for the Golden Core, charged at Li Chen!

In Li Chen’s eyes, however, there was only Lin Yi. He had to save Lin Yi first, no matter what.

Lin Yi stood there, being held from behind by another yet looking at Li Chen’s wildly fierce appearance, it reminded her of the scene she had witnessed at the Li Family, where Li Chen had descended from the heavens.

Although Li Chen had never made any promises, Lin Yi knew that as long as Li Chen was there, he would not allow anything to happen to her.

He was always protecting her!

Li Yang gritted his teeth. His handsome face grimaced with gloom, and his right fist smashed towards Li Chen.

Li Chen’s fist met directly with Li Yang’s. The collision of their fists produced a crisp crack, a massive force seemed to travel from the fists up to the shoulders and then even flung Li Yang’s body into the air!

Li Yang had no time to scream; one punch sent him flying backward, and his right arm dangled limply, clearly utterly ruined.

With a thunderous crash, Li Yang fell to the ground in agony. This time, his arm was beyond healing, as Li Chen’s True Qi continued to wreak havoc inside his body.

Falling to the ground, the man behind Lin Yi had not yet reacted when Li Chen slapped him away effortlessly.

Effortlessly, but every move he made was terrifyingly powerful.

Li Xinmei, seeing Li Chen so close by, was struck with fear, especially when his gaze turned towards her, enveloping her in a terrifying fear of death!

Previously, Li Xinmei had never directly faced Li Chen when opposing him, always attacking from the shadows, doing nasty things like bombing the Lin Corporation Building or bringing in Cobra mercenaries to snipe at Li Chen, but they never physically confronted each other.

Li Chen was an enemy in Li Xinmei’s eyes, but she had underestimated his strength, mistakenly thinking that no matter how terrifying, he couldn’t be this formidable.

After the Cobra Team had sniped and saved Li Yang before, Li Xinmei believed Li Chen’s abilities were average, but after several direct clashes within this Relic, she realized she might have been wrong.

Li Chen’s strength could no longer be described as formidable; it was monstrous, as if he couldn’t die no matter what!

Li Xinmei’s voice was sharp, her eyes filled with malice and fear, "What do you want to do?"

Li Chen did not speak, but at that moment, he felt several people charging at him from behind, and they were fast.

Without moving his body, he waved his hand behind him as if swatting flies, and those approaching were instantly blasted away.

This action terrified Li Xinmei, her steps uncontrollably retreating. She discovered that this man in front of her was truly a devil, only truly perceivable when facing him head-on!

"Smack!"

Li Xinmei’s foot twisted, and she fell directly to the ground, sitting down with a thud, completely dazed.

This scene caused a round of mocking laughter among some of the mercenaries.

"A woman is still a woman, just sitting on the ground."

"Really damn useless."

"Haha, did she scare herself silly?"

These mercenaries laughed heartily, but the number of people charging at Li Chen did not decrease; they hadn’t forgotten that the last Golden Core was swallowed by him.

Brian and Apollo stood at a distance, not moving, but their eyes also shimmered with light.

They had seen Li Chen’s strength just now, which seemed much stronger than before.

"Should we join forces?" Apollo spoke.

Brian said indifferently, "Join forces for what?"

"To kill him!" Apollo’s eyes sparkled, "The Golden Core can’t be digested that quickly, later we can just take it out from his stomach."

Brian scoffed, "You go if you want to, I won’t."

At that moment, the man from the Dark Council in a black robe walked over, "I will go."

Apollo glanced at Brian, then he and the man in a black robe charged at Li Chen together!

For Apollo, having already made an enemy of Li Chen, this moment when so many were attacking together was a perfect chance to put Li Chen to death.

"Kill him, cut open his stomach, and take the Golden Core out!"
