Chapter 444: Chapter 418: The Terrifying Golden Monster

Li Chen’s gaze swept over the people, one standing there like a War God.

Everyone was shocked, was he really overpowering everyone present with his own power?

The expert of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps, Main God Apollo, and that expert from the Dark Council, had all joined forces but still were no match for Li Chen. Instead, they were suppressed forcefully by Li Chen alone!

Adding to the fact that Li Chen had previously moved in and out among the mercenaries with ease, merely lifting his hand meant someone died. His casual slaughter was as elegant as poetry writing but tinged with blood and cruelty; the bodies lying on the ground were the best testament.

"Is this the strength of someone on the Main God Ranking?"

"One man overpowering all of us, that’s too terrifying."

"Most importantly, not even Apollo and the others in a joint effort could stand against him."

These mercenaries, having snapped out of their previous fanaticism, were now deterred by Li Chen’s sheer power.

Apollo’s face was extremely unsightly. Being a prominent figure in the Apollo Family and always heavily groomed, he had not anticipated suffering repeated defeats at the hands of Li Chen.

All were shocked and silent, and for a moment, no one dared to make a move against Li Chen again.

Off in the distance, the Ghost King’s expression was immensely dark; the Li Siblings also looked terrible. Hadn’t they initially suppressed Li Chen? How had he suddenly become so terrifying just after a while?

Brahma looked at Li Chen, his eyes increasingly brightening: Such formidable strength should be able to lure that thing out.

There was a temporary calm on the field, and after the recent slaughter, there were significantly fewer people left.

"Roar!"

Just then, as if a terrifying roar sounded, it echoed throughout the entire maze, that abrupt shout making everyone feel as though they were shaking.

"What’s happening?"

"I swear I heard the call of a wild beast!"

At this cry, everyone felt a little bit terrified, as if something bad was about to happen.

But off in the distance, Brahma suddenly stood up, his eyes shining brightly: It’s coming!

This time, his target was finally about to appear.

Li Chen stood his ground, frowning; that roar just now seemed capable of scattering his momentum, and considering the vast distance, the power of this monster was unimaginable.

Li Chen also felt a foreboding and immediately thought of leaving the place with Lin Yi, to find Yue’er and the Ginseng Doll.

But just as he was about to move, that roar sounded again.

"Roar"

This time, everyone felt it was like thunder on a clear day, the cry sounding so close, as if it could flip everyone over!

"What in the world is this?"

"Where the hell did this beast come from?"

The mercenaries started to panic, the Man in Black Robe and Blood Blade along with other experts all changed their expressions. This time the sensation was more vivid, they all felt their inner energy forcing to disperse.

Just then, a figure rushed downwards from above!

Li Chen reacted the quickest, almost instantly aware of the terrifying presence from above, and that it seemed to be targeting him!

Immediately, Li Chen ran to the side with Lin Yi; soon after, the others also sensed this terrifying presence. Looking up, they saw a figure plummeting down, as if it was a bat spreading its wings mid-air!

"Get out of the way!"

Someone screamed sharply, and the mercenaries realized the danger and their faces changed.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the monster had already landed, "bang bang bang," nearby grounds were blasted apart.

Fortunately, Li Chen dodged in time; otherwise, the monster’s landing would have crushed him to death.

Only when the monster landed did everyone start to scrutinize it.

The monster looked similar to a silver-colored creature they had seen before, yet distinct. Its hands were something between a wild beast and a human, its body organs not atrophied, but its skin all over was golden. If not for facial features resembling those of a gorilla, they might have thought it was a normal human.

This creature stood up, its eyes all golden, void of pupils, and its body hairless, standing almost two meters tall, looking immensely threatening.

"What on earth is this monster?"

Involuntarily, a mercenary exclaimed in horror.

"Look, doesn’t this monster bear some resemblance to that general in the statue?" just then, someone seemed to make a discovery and loudly declared.

All eyes turned to the statue of the general, then back to the golden monster before them, their hearts filled with shock: They could affirm that this monster was that general.

"Has he really not died after hundreds of years?"

Some people, after being stunned for a moment, suddenly went crazy.

"My God, it really is the Relic of Life!"

Li Chen, unlike the others, quietly told Lin Yi to leave and stood still, as he could feel that the monster in front of him was steadily locking onto him, as if he were its prey.

Taking into account the information Brian had shared with him, as well as his own conjecture, the monster in front of him was similar to those silver monsters; all had transformed into this neither human nor beast form from consuming too many pills, except this general here had consumed the Golden Pills.

However, whether it was the general’s own strength or some other reason, he had not devolved entirely. Only parts of him had—like his limbs, which were better suited for climbing, his hearing which was sharper, and his eyes which could capture light better; the rest of him still looked like a normal human.

At that moment, the monster stood up. It didn’t look at anyone else but stared straight at Li Chen, a dangerous aura emanating from it.

The others, seeing that the monster seemed to be targeting only Li Chen, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved away, fearing they would be implicated.

"Roar"

The monster let out a roar and then, with a push from its legs, leaped towards Li Chen like an arrow released from a bow!

So fast!

Apollo, Brian, and others felt a chill in their hearts. With their strength, they only saw a blur before the monster had already reached Li Chen.

What kind of ghostly speed is this?

Experts nearby were filled with horror.

Li Chen, too, felt his pupils constrict as the monster emitted an extremely dangerous aura. Without hesitating, he dodged to the side and summoned all his strength, throwing a punch at the monster charging towards him!

A fierce punch was thrown mid-air towards the monster, but the monster’s combat instinct was astonishing. In just an instant, it paused briefly, then its palm came striking towards Li Chen!

The punch and palm met head-on. In that instant, all the energy inside Li Chen’s body surged uncontrollably as if a cup of water had been stirred.

This monster’s power is even stronger than mine now?

Li Chen was startled. His full-powered strike not only failed to repel the opponent but almost knocked him back instead.

The monster, however, showed no signs of feeling anything. Its attacks followed one after another, its thick, ape-like arms coming down again. Li Chen didn’t dare to confront it directly and tried to dodge, but the monster closely followed.

For a while, people around saw Li Chen being chased and beaten by the monster.

This, this, did I see it wrong?

Everyone’s jaws dropped. At the beginning, Li Chen had shown great strength, handling many on his own without fear, but where did this newly emerged monster come from?

To deal with such an expert, yet chase him down like a chicken was absolutely incredible. Who would believe it if they hadn’t seen it themselves?

Li Chen’s expression turned ugly. What in the world was this thing? It was ridiculously strong!

With a tap of his foot, he leaped up. The monster too jumped after him, following closely. Then its right hand stretched out to grab Li Chen’s ankle.

Damn it!

As Li Chen’s body fell, he slapped the ground with his right palm, turning to the side, breaking free from the monster’s grasp before trying to get up. But then he saw the monster’s palm already reaching towards him!

So fast!

Li Chen tried to counter with his left hand, but in just an instant, the monster’s palm harshly struck his chest.

"Bang"

With a heavy blow, Li Chen was thrown backward, and the monster, pursuing him closely, moved its limbs like a hunting leopard on the savannah.

The onlookers were dumbstruck, feeling almost foolish. At first, they were surprised because the monster was stronger than Li Chen, but subconsciously, they hadn’t thought it was that much stronger. However, seeing Li Chen seemingly powerless to fight back, they were utterly shocked.

"What the **** is this monster?" a mercenary swallowed his saliva.

"I now feel like nowhere is safe in this Relic."

"We shouldn’t have come here."

The mercenaries were fear-stricken, thinking that those experts were already freaks, then a Main God Ranking expert appeared, thinking a Main God Ranking was the ultimate, and now this monster simply crushed everything!

What chance did that leave for small-time mercenaries like us?

As they watched Li Chen being slapped and flying off again, everyone was stunned to numbness, but some were inwardly relieved, grateful that the monster hadn’t found them. Otherwise, they likely would have met their deaths.

Apollo and the others were shocked, but soon started feeling schadenfreude.

This monster was so strong, and it kept targeting Li Chen, wasn’t that practically saying, Li Chen was going to be finished?

And they didn’t even need to lift a finger.

Those who had been previously crushed by Li Chen began to take pleasure in his misfortune.

"Good!"

Li Yang was thrilled to see Li Chen spitting blood. And in Li Xinmei’s eyes, malice was overflowing. Did you really think you could survive against this monster?
