Chapter 448: Chapter 422: Escape!

Looking at the Ghost King and the Li siblings, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"With that old man gone, you’re seriously injured," Li Yang sneered, "You’re bound to die this time."

A mocking expression appeared on Li Chen’s face, "Are you so sure?"

"King of the Netherworld, stop playing tricks; you’re already drained of strength, you’re no match for us," the Ghost King waved his hand coldly, and in an instant, the people beside him charged directly at Li Chen!

Chris, like a yellow-haired madman, also had a cold glint in his eyes, believing that if he killed Li Chen, he would definitely make a name for himself!

Therefore, Chris was the most eager, moving quickly and charging at the forefront, his weapon in hand flashing with a cold light.

"Die!"

Chris shouted loudly as the weapon in his hand stabbed fiercely toward Li Chen!

But the next second, Chris’s expression changed as Li Chen, who had seemed seriously injured, suddenly seemed to burst with a strong and terrifying energy, directly blasting Chris away!

How could this be! Wasn’t he injured?

A question flashed in Chris’s mind, but in the next moment, Li Chen’s fist had already slammed into his neck, breaking it instantly!

Chris died on the spot.

The expressions of the surrounding people also changed as they looked at the standing Li Chen, all feeling a sense of fear.

The Ghost King and the three Li siblings didn’t look much better, as if they had seen a ghost.

"How, how are you unharmed?" Li Xinmei’s words were full of shock, and she trembled as she pointed at Li Chen.

Li Chen snorted coldly; the entire time Great Grandfather was there, he had been circulating True Qi to heal himself, and the injuries had actually caused the previously unassimilated effects of the Golden Core to reemerge. The energy of the two Golden Cores was directly nourishing his body, rapidly healing his wounds.

Moreover, with the help of the Golden Core’s energy, the True Qi inside his body was also absorbing Mysterious Energy rapidly, so although he appeared to have grave injuries, Li Chen’s combat power was still terrifying!

Furthermore, with the absorption of the Golden Core’s effects, Li Chen could feel the energy inside his body surging once again.

Clenching his fist, Li Chen said coldly, "Today, it’s indeed time to settle the accounts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen took the initiative to charge at the Ghost King and the others.

"Damn!"

The Ghost King was taken aback, and all his subordinates attacked Li Chen together, but with one punch from Li Chen, they were all sent flying!

The Ghost King felt a chill run down his spine at Li Chen’s icy gaze, regretting not sending a clone instead of coming in person today, as he found himself in danger once again.

But with the arrow on the bowstring, he had no choice but to face Li Chen; turning to flee would only lead to a quicker death!

With a mocking thought, Li Chen’s killing intent soared as he faced the Ghost King’s attack. With the force of one overwhelming ten, his palm strike caused the Ghost King to spit out blood, even feeling as if his internal organs were about to be expelled.

It wasn’t over yet; the ferocious energy from Li Chen enveloped the Ghost King, intent on killing him that very day!

The Li siblings nearby were also shocked and, without saying a word, turned and ran.

A murderous look flashed in the Ghost King’s eyes. With a flick of his hand, he unleashed his long whip and then flung it toward Li Xinmei, sweeping her up and hurling her toward Li Chen!

In this critical moment for survival, of course, he would prioritize his own life!

Li Xinmei was startled, but it was already too late; she was thrown directly at Li Chen. Without any hesitation, Li Chen threw a punch at Li Xinmei!

"Ah!"

The terrifying energy and True Qi smashed into Li Xinmei’s arm, as if all the bones inside were shattered, and the spiraling True Qi drilled into her body.

"Pu!"

Li Xinmei spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground.

Li Chen’s gaze remained locked on the Ghost King, and with a swift movement, he was in front of the Ghost King, who had no way to avoid and was forced to exchange a hard blow with Li Chen.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the Ghost King’s entire arm, with which he had clashed against Li Chen, shattered like a row of dominos from the fingers to the shoulder!

One punch effectively disabled the Ghost King.

Watching the Ghost King sent flying, Li Chen scanned the area and saw that Li Yang was nearly at the exit, panicked and attempting to flee.

You think you can run?

Li Yang felt a chilling fear, dreading Li Chen’s appearance. But the next moment, he felt himself being lifted off his feet and seized.

The mercenaries around, witnessing Li Chen’s fury resembling the God of Slaughter, were shocked, and at that moment, Li Chen grabbed Li Yang and exerted his strength forcefully!

Under the immense force, Li Yang felt as if his body were being torn apart, bones cracking and muscles and veins seemingly coming undone!

"Ah!"

Li Yang screamed, but the scream abruptly ceased as he was torn apart, turning into a shower of blood that scattered in the air!

Seeing Li Chen tear the man in half, the terrified mercenaries sucked in a breath of cold air, fear evident in their eyes at this madman; they quickly began running outside, fearful of being caught by Li Chen.

With a casual flick of his arm, Li Chen felt a release of the pent-up frustration in his chest. His gaze swept the area as he continued to search for the Ghost King and Li Xinmei, but they had disappeared.

Li Chen furrowed his brows, about to search for them when the booming noise that had disappeared before suddenly reemerged, even more intense than the last time.

"Roar, roar"

Immediately after, the hall where everyone was located began to violently shake, and chunks of stone started to fall from above!

The sudden turn of events left Li Chen stunned. Could the maze be about to collapse?

Glancing upward, Li Chen’s complexion changed. He saw the rocks above trembling violently, with one huge boulder teetering on the edge of falling!

The pillars around them also seemed to start swaying, and the entire hall gave the impression that it was about to cave in.

It’s really going to collapse!

Li Chen abandoned the idea of searching for the Ghost King and Li Xinmei again. He quickly went over to Zhong Tian, hoisted the prone Zhong Tian onto his back, and then ran towards the exit with Lin Yi and Yue’er.

"Stay close to me!"

Li Chen shouted loudly.

Yue’er was terrified, following Li Chen, while the rest of the mercenaries panicked. This damned place was actually collapsing?

"Get out of here fast!"

Someone yelled loudly.

The mercenaries were in disarray, each running for the outside.

With the two women by his side and Zhong Tian on his back, Li Chen rushed forward. Right now, finding an exit was of utmost importance. The Ginseng Doll in Yue’er’s arms was also recovering from its weakened state.

The lights on the walls of the maze seemed to shake, as if they could go out at any moment.

"There are monsters ahead!" Yue’er yelled.

"Go right!"

Li Chen glanced ahead at the group of silver monsters and immediately changed direction.

The trembling on the ground was getting more and more intense. The mercenaries within the maze hastily ran towards the exit.

"Damn it, does anyone remember where the entrance was when we came down?"

A mercenary shouted.

"Forgot long ago!" another replied.

"Didn’t I tell you to draw a map?" the man bellowed in anger.

"Hegel is dead, we didn’t take out that map just now."

"Damn, looks like we’re all gonna die here."

Some mercenaries were like headless flies, and Li Chen wasn’t much better off. He couldn’t find the exit either.

The shaking was growing stronger and stronger. The bricks on the ground seemed to tremble, and stones began to fall from above.

One of the oil lamps on the wall suddenly fell, spilling corpse oil which began to spread. Then the flames dropped down with a "boom," igniting a great fire within the maze!

Li Chen, with the two women, was frantic. Hurry, hurry, where is the exit?

Ahead was still the same old maze, so Li Chen could only stick to one direction and keep going. Otherwise, with all this shaking, they would never find the exit.

Behind them, the maze, amid the terrible shaking, could not hold up any longer and started to collapse.

Brahma, who had been seriously injured in the hall by Great Grandfather’s palm strike, also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to run outside. But suddenly, a boulder from above fell. Brahma didn’t avoid it and was hit right by the boulder!

Crushed under that boulder, Brahma seemed to be struck by a giant hammer from the inside, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. At this moment, the hall began to collapse as well.

Stone after stone fell, completely burying Brahma beneath them.

Those unshattered statues also tumbled down with thunderous crashes, and the entire hall began to cave in.

The fire of life in Brahma’s eyes was flickering out.

Here, he met his end.

Elsewhere, as Li Chen dashed along with the two women, they suddenly discovered a chamber in front of them, which was different from the others—it actually had stairs inside.

Li Chen was delighted. This must be the entrance.

"Hurry up there!"

Li Chen yelled.

Yue’er and Lin Yi went up, followed by Li Chen who was carrying Zhong Tian.

The staircase was the ancient kind made of stone, and as the three of them stepped on it, their footsteps echoed. The roaring and collapsing shakes still made the two women unsteady as they climbed.

"Hold onto the walls," Li Chen instructed.

The staircase was about the height of a three-story building. Then Yue’er pushed open the door in front of them, and a bright beam of light shone through.

Yue’er was stunned as she saw a group of sturdy men in black with intense killing intent.

At that moment, Li Chen and Lin Yi also came out and seeing those men, Li Chen actually sighed in relief—it was his own people.

"Master!"

The sturdy men were overjoyed to see Li Chen, and the team leader immediately notified the rest that Li Chen had been found, and there was no need to go down to the relic anymore.

Li Chen had those men carry Zhong Tian and then had them lead him away.

Just then, everyone felt a thunderous rumbling from below their feet, along with severe shaking.

The ancient relic maze had completely collapsed.
