Chapter 520: Chapter 493: Unrepentant Until Death!

The sound of a car starting came through, and Li Chen didn’t turn around because he knew that Alice had arrived.

After opening the car door, Alice came to the Ghost King’s corpse and started to get busy.

Soon, Alice came to Li Chen’s side.

"This time, it’s his real body."

Hearing Alice’s words, Li Chen closed his eyes slightly and tilted his head back as if he were silently feeling something, but there was nothing above in the sky.

What Li Chen was feeling was the tranquility of the moment, a tranquility that came from within the soul.

Ever since he returned to Huaxia, he had received news of the Ghost King’s betrayal, which later brought him an endless series of troubles.

There were even several times when he found himself in dangerous situations, nearly becoming a corpse himself.

But in the end, he had won.

And the Ghost King had become a corpse.

Lying on the ground, neither Li Chen nor Alice mocked him.

Because although the Ghost King was indeed a traitor, it must be said, he was truly a character!

To have put the King of the Netherworld in danger time and again, almost to the point of death, and even to have united with Shadow to enlist personages from the Main God Ranking and a large number of experts from both the Heaven and Earth Rankings to carry out an encirclement and assassination.

The Ghost King was indeed a character.

"You are a hero!" Li Chen spoke softly, "It’s just a pity that you chose the wrong opponent."

If the Ghost King’s opponent had not been Li Chen but someone else from the Main God Ranking, maybe they would have been killed by the Ghost King by now.

But his opponent was Li Chen, the King of the Netherworld!

So, there were no ifs.

The one who had to die was him.

"The Ghost King’s main body and his alter egos are interconnected and depend on each other for existence. After the main body is killed, the other alter egos will die one after another within an hour," Alice reported, after conducting a series of tests, as she came to stand behind Li Chen, speaking very assuredly.

"Is that so?" Li Chen nodded, "I understand."

The heavy stone in his heart was finally lifted, and Li Chen felt his whole body relax.

"Should we... go to the Ghost King’s laboratory?" Alice asked, looking at Li Chen’s somewhat strange expression.

"Let’s go," Li Chen nodded and then with a wave of his hand, an obscure drug fell upon the Ghost King’s body and immediately, the Ghost King’s flesh started to decay.

Before long, it dissolved into a pool of blood that seeped into the ground.

From the outside, there was nothing left here but a piece of tattered clothing.

Getting into the car, Li Chen and Alice drove off into the distance together.

...

"Pu!!"

Inside a dark laboratory, a man suddenly leaned against the wall and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man suddenly began to cough violently.

This cough was heart-wrenching, as if he was about to cough up his internal organs.

Gradually, blood began to seep from the man’s mouth corners, nose, eyes, and ears.

But by this time, the man’s coughing had gradually weakened.

"Who would have thought, in the end, I still couldn’t outfight you," the Ghost King’s face showed a faint color of melancholy.

At this moment, he seemed to recall something.

"Did I really make a mistake?" the Ghost King’s eyes were somewhat lost.

The original being had died, and these alter egos wouldn’t last long either.

But no matter which alter ego it was, all were the Ghost King, and in this moment, he was still the Ghost King!

"No! I’m not wrong! How could I possibly be wrong?" The desolation on the Ghost King’s face vanished, replaced with madness and obsession.

"At first, it was you who told me, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is no good soldier! I don’t want to be a general; I only wanted to be the King of the Netherworld. It’s just that I failed, that’s all!"

The Ghost King’s face twisted menacingly: "Even though I am dead, I still want to take revenge on you!"

"King of the Netherworld, even if I die, you will definitely pay the price!" The Ghost King suddenly erupted into crazed laughter, "Though the one taking revenge won’t be me, you will definitely enjoy it!"

Not far from the Ghost King, within a huge vessel, lay a brain.

Li Xinmei’s brain!

"What a pity," the Ghost King looked at the brain in the vessel, a hint of faint disappointment on his face, "I won’t be able to see the day you are resurrected."

By this time, the Ghost King’s face had begun to show shades of grey.

This indicated that his life was truly nearing its end, with only a short time left for him to linger.

Perhaps, he would die at any moment.

"I hate the King of the Netherworld, and I know that you probably hate him more than I do. So, when you are resurrected, make sure to avenge my part as well."

"Don’t let me down..."

The Ghost King murmured to himself as he pressed a red button not far from the vessel.

By this time, his face and body were covered in bloodstains; he had become like a bleeding man.

With one last glimpse at the vessel, his vision blurring, he vaguely saw Li Xinmei’s brain seem to twitch, sending up a few tiny bubbles.

The Ghost King was completely dead.

At the same moment, Ghost King alter egos all around the world showed the same symptoms.

All the Ghost King alter egos died at the same time.

From that point on, the Ghost King completely vanished from this world.

Both the original and the alter egos.

...

Li Chen drove to a building that looked somewhat desolate. Arriving at the entrance, he frowned slightly, then his expression relaxed.

The seemingly unremarkable building had a gate made of alloy. If there wasn’t something hidden inside, who would do such a thing?

"This must be the right place, this must be the Ghost King’s laboratory," Alice said, glancing at the map displayed on her computer screen.

"Good," Li Chen nodded, and the next moment, he burst forth explosively.

"Boom!!"

The alloy gate toppled over.

Li Chen shrugged at Alice: "Although the gate is sturdy, its frame clearly wasn’t as solid as I had thought."

Giving Li Chen an incredulous look, Alice followed him inside.

Upon entering, they were both taken aback.

Because, even though it looked like a nondescript building on the outside, the interior was another world entirely—equipment, pharmaceuticals, and even a series of data that the Ghost King hadn’t had time to take with him were all neatly arranged here.

"Not destroying everything here doesn’t seem like the Ghost King’s style," Alice remarked curiously.

"Who knows!" Li Chen didn’t care much about that; seeing the items laid out here, he smiled.

With these, might his dream actually be possible to achieve?
