Chapter 486: Chapter 459: The Void Flower is Destroyed

Compared to the upheaval outside the manor, in a dark room deep within the estate, several people surrounded a round table.

"How did he arrive so soon?" someone exclaimed in shock and anger.

They had already prepared to set a trap for the King of the Netherworld, but he arrived unexpectedly fast, before they were ready, and attacked them right at their doorstep.

"Unclear! The King of the Netherworld truly lives up to his name, having found us behind the scenes so quickly!" another spoke, his face cold, filled with killing intent, "Since he is already here, there’s no need to prepare. Gather the skilled fighters and kill him!"

"Exactly! Our Apollo Family has inherited countless years and survived the rise and fall of many dynasties. What is there to fear from the King of the Netherworld? Gather the skilled fighters and kill him!"

At the round table, everyone unanimously decided to summon the skilled fighters.

Meanwhile, on the mountain path, Li Chen sent two robust men flying with a single punch. Following that, no real skilled fighters appeared from the Apollo Villa, allowing them to sweep forward unimpeded and directly reach the depths of the estate.

"Master, the power of the Apollo Family should not be underestimated. Our unimpeded journey thus far might be deceptive...," someone at Li Chen’s side advised.

Li Chen frowned; he came for the Void Flower and never took the Apollo Family seriously, hence he wasn’t worried. However, if the enemy had set traps and they began to fight, although his people were skilled, they might still suffer injuries, which he did not want to see.

"In that case, you all stay outside. I will go in alone."

"Master, let us go and protect you. If the enemy has set traps, having one more person would at least increase our strength..."

"If I can’t handle the enemy myself, it would be even more futile for you to go and simply invite death! My mind is made up; you all stay behind..." Li Chen, rejecting his subordinate’s suggestion, walked alone towards the deeper parts of the estate.

As Li Chen approached, the servants in the estate were already frightened beyond measure, constantly retreating before him. This naturally included both Mike and Adam.

"King of the Netherworld! You dare to barge into our Apollo Family unwisely; since that’s the case, die here today!"

Suddenly, a large group surged from deep within the estate, led by several elders, who, flanked by a throng of powerful martial artists, glared at Li Chen.

"Ah! The Great Elder, we’re saved! Hmph, they are dead for sure this time!" Mike’s eyes lit up, and he confidently said to Adam, "The Great Elder has brought almost all the skilled fighters from our family; this Li Chen, this yellow-skinned monkey is as good as dead..."

Adam’s eyes sparkled. So many skilled fighters! Even if Li Chen were an immortal, he would be blasted to pieces! Humph, it’s just his fault for being so reckless and trying to compete with me for Ding Xiaoke... A flash of joy passed through Adam’s eyes as he envisioned the future torment he would inflict on Ding Xiaoke.

From a distance, Li Chen sneered, scornfully surveying the crowd.

"Heh! With just you guys... you’re not worthy!"

"Hand over the Void Flower, or today I will have the Apollo Family stricken from the records of Great Britain!"

"Arrogant!"

"Attack, take him down regardless!"

An elder roared, and the numerous martial artists around him sprang into action, transforming into a blur of shadows, rushing towards Li Chen.

Tens of powerful martial artists attacked simultaneously, their formidable momentum even making ordinary observers like Adam feel terrified, settling his heart. With so many skilled fighters striking together, Li Chen, even if he were a god, ought to be doomed! Humph, after you die, that despicable Ding Xiaoke will have no one to rely on... Then, she’ll be mine to discipline...

"Bang! Boom... Bang..."

As Li Chen exchanged blows with the numerous martial artists, a series of muffled sounds erupted continuously.

"Ha, there are indeed some skilled fighters!"

Li Chen raised his hand and countered a punch from an opponent, who staggered back several steps, but managed to stabilize himself.

"To take my punch, your strength is indeed enough to hold a high rank on the Heavenly List! However, let’s see how many more punches you can take?" Li Chen scoffed, raising his hand to send another reckless martial artist flying.

The next moment, he moved.

His form turned into a blur, appearing instantly in front of the man, raising his hand with another punch.

"Huh?" The man had initially exchanged a punch with Li Chen, his chest heaving with roiling Qi-Blood, already seriously injured. Taken by surprise by Li Chen’s move, his expression tensed as he hastily defended.

"Bang!"

After exchanging a round of blows, the man’s body was sent flying.

"Cough! Puh..."

"King of the Netherworld! So powerful..." The man’s eyes flickered with unwillingness as his head drooped, and he breathed his last.

"What? Arcado is dead..." In the distance, the leading elders changed color. Since Apollo’s death, Arcado had been one of the few skilled fighters in their family! And he couldn’t withstand two moves from the King of the Netherworld! Is this even human!

"Hand over the Void Flower!" Li Chen coldly walked forward.

"Quick! Block him..."

The lead elders panicked.

Hearing the command, numerous martial artists fearlessly charged forward.

"Hmph! If you wish to die, then I shall oblige..." A cold light flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, and the next moment, he moved.

Silhouettes flickered past, ’thud, thud, thud...’ the dull sounds were incessant, and with each sound, a figure was sent flying, blood spraying.

In just a few breaths’ time, Li Chen alone had dealt with many martial artists.

Now, the only ones who could still stand in the arena, besides those old men, were simply a large heap of servants previously driven here by Li Chen from the villa.

"Uh... Glug!" Mike and Adam were staring, eyes filled with disbelief.

How was this possible? Mike felt as if his beliefs had been shattered! His family, powerful and unsurpassed, had been defeated by a single person! Was this still the Apollo Family that revered martial force and gained fame through it?

At the same time, right next to him, Adam was already filled with fear! Ding Xiaoke, Ding Xiaoke had been so close to him—could they have been involved already? Or could it be that Li Chen, this monster, had taken an interest in Ding Xiaoke? My God, how fortunate I didn’t do anything to Ding Xiaoke! Otherwise, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough...

Unknowingly, under Li Chen’s formidable influence, Adam’s mentality had shifted, and driven by fear, he dared not harbor any improper thoughts towards Ding Xiaoke anymore.

"You, you..."

The leading elders were so shocked they couldn’t speak, looking at Li Chen with eyes full of fear.

My heavens! Whom were they antagonizing? Their Apollo Family had provoked such a monster!

"Hand over the Void Flower, or else, die...," Li Chen’s expression was frosty, his killing intent pervasive, frightening everyone present.

"Th-the Void Flower is in that secret room!"

The elders capitulated, someone informing Li Chen about the Void Flower. At this point, they didn’t dare provoke Li Chen, or the entire Apollo Family might really be wiped out!

Li Chen no longer paid attention to the crowd but walked straight into the secret room.

The secret room was dim with only flickering candlelight; it contained just a few tables, on which were placed some antiques like paintings, ceramics, and some medieval-style European armor, all covered in dust. Clearly, this place was used by the Apollo Family to store antiquities.

But where was the Void Flower?

Li Chen frowned, not spotting the Void Flower. Could it be that those old fools had deceived him?

"Giggle! Giggle... King of the Netherworld, are you searching for this?"

Suddenly, a flirtatious laugh rippled through the secret room, but it was like the chill of winter snow, filled with hatred, chilling to the marrow, seemingly lowering the entire room’s temperature. At the same time, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Li Xinmei?" When he saw the newcomer, Li Chen’s expression tensed up, a bad premonition flashing in his mind.

"Hehe! King of the Netherworld, have you traveled all the way to Great Britain for this Void Flower? Want it? If you want it, I’ll just give it to you...," Li Xinmei’s face bore a sinister smile. The next moment, without warning, she exerted force on her hands, ready to destroy the Void Flower right there.

"No..."

Li Chen roared, his form turned into a ghostly shadow, desperately rushing to stop her.

"Hahaha... Even the King of the Netherworld cares about something? Since it matters to you, then I’ll just make sure you won’t get what you want!", Li Xinmei laughed madly, resembling a lunatic, and crushed the Void Flower in her grasp.

"Don’t..." Li Chen screamed, the pale face of Wang Qianqian seemingly still flickering before his eyes. But the Void Flower was destroyed by her!

Watching as the Void Flower in Li Xinmei’s hand turned into a clump of petal mud, and as she casually scattered it, Li Chen felt as if his heart was bleeding.

"Haha! King of the Netherworld, what’s the matter? You can feel pain too? Haha, to think the mighty King of the Netherworld can feel pain! That’s hilarious...", Li Xinmei’s eyes sparkled with pleasure, laughing loudly.

"You, should die..."

Li Chen’s eyes were splitting with fury, the Void Flower only effective when intact, and now it was ruined by Li Xinmei! Damn it...

"Should die!"

Li Chen’s eyes turned bloodshot, his killing intent enveloping the air, with no Void Flower, Wang Qianqian was beyond saving! This Li Xinmei had cut short Wang Qianqian’s life, damn it...

In the next instant, Li Chen turned into a shadowy figure, appearing suddenly before Li Xinmei, and threw a punch.

This punch, driven by his rage, was at two hundred percent of his usual strength, carrying the momentum of wind and thunder, aiming straight for Li Xinmei’s life.

But Li Xinmei had anticipated that he would go berserk after she destroyed the flower, and had retreated a step ahead of time.

"Where can you escape to? Under heaven and above earth, no one can save you...", Li Chen’s eyes void of any emotion, his voice bland, but it conveyed his firm resolve to kill her.

Boom!

Li Chen raised his fist again.

This time, Li Xinmei couldn’t dodge and was struck squarely on the chest. She flew out like a kite with its string cut.

"Cough! Puh... King of the Netherworld, someone will kill you!", Li Xinmei coughed blood, her eyes malevolently fixed on Li Chen.

As the saying goes, meet force with force, meet trickery with brains. Li Chen had never been afraid!

"Die!"

Li Chen, following close, appeared at Li Xinmei’s side and raised his hand to punch, aiming to smash her skull.

"Hahahahaha..."

Just at this critical moment, suddenly, a burst of laughter echoed through the secret room.
