Chapter 592: Chapter 564: This is My Final Trump Card

As soon as Lin Yi realized that this terrifying sense of threat was emanating from Li Xinmei, his figure swiftly retreated.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of Li Xinmei but because he didn’t want to confront the unknown danger.

The moment Lin Yi’s figure had departed, a series of bizarre transformations began to take place on Li Xinmei’s body.

Lin Yi clearly saw that Li Xinmei’s body, formerly slender and captivating, was beginning to expand at an alarming rate.

And this expansion seemed uncontrollable, as if her body had been instantaneously inflated with a vast amount of air and water, undergoing a horrific transformation.

The fair skin was suddenly streaked with multicolored lines which, like a Demon’s totem, were strange and full of an evil aura.

Lin Yi even saw that Li Xinmei’s arms, which he had severed, were regenerating in an instant, two things that barely qualified as arms stretching out from the sides of her body.

And what grew out were not hands!

They were claws!

Pure, unadulterated claws!

The curved fingers, like steel, with nails reflecting a chill light, were enough to make one feel a shiver down their spine.

Li Xinmei’s stature also shot up in an instant, transforming her into a monster over two meters tall.

She, who had already stopped being human, had now completely abandoned the human form, becoming an utter monster.

"Lin Yi..."

Li Xinmei’s voice reached him, and just by hearing it, Lin Yi sensed a deep foreboding.

Because that voice was doubled.

It had not only Li Xinmei’s malicious shrill tone but also an underlying rough and bizarre voice.

"What exactly are you?" Lin Yi’s gaze was icy as he stared at the creature before him, his expression turning somewhat inexplicable.

Although he had long surmised that Li Xinmei was probably no longer human, the sight of a person becoming a monster before his eyes still involuntarily gave rise to a strange emotion within Lin Yi.

She, too, was once human.

Lin Yi suddenly thought of the slaughter he had inflicted upon the Li Family.

Had he brought all this about?

"No! It’s not me! It’s the Li Family’s own fault!!" Lin Yi’s gaze became resolute in an instant.

He had never done anything wrong. All of today’s events were brought on by the Li Family themselves, and everything about Li Xinmei was her own doing. He was not to blame!

"Even if I am wrong, I will never admit it!!" Lin Yi voiced his own steadfast conviction.

He had never considered himself a saint nor did he aspire to be the perfect individual others idealized.

He was just a regular person.

A man!

One might even say a selfish man!

There are many things a man must and should do.

If he had not eradicated the Li Family that day, then he would have been the one to die. Lin Yi would only have lived the rest of his life in misery and humiliation. He had done nothing wrong!

"I simply did what I had to do!"

With that thought, any ounce of sympathy Lin Yi might have held for Li Xinmei disappeared in an instant.

However, Li Xinmei caught the shift in Lin Yi’s expression.

"I wasn’t mistaken, was I?" Li Xinmei mocked as she looked at Lin Yi, a smug look in her eyes, "Dear Lord Nether King, what was that gaze just now? Pity? Compassion?"

"You actually feel pity for me?" Li Xinmei burst into frenzied laughter, "It’s simply too laughable!"

"You actually felt compassion and pity for me?" Amidst the laughter, Li Xinmei looked down at Lin Yi again, "When you were slaughtering my entire family, did you ever entertain such thoughts?"

"No matter how you try to hide it, you can’t conceal the fact that you are a murderous fiend. You killed my entire family and turned me into what I am now; that’s the truth!" Li Xinmei’s voice was filled with viciousness and malice.

"My transformation into what I am now is thanks to you. So, what right have you to feel sorry for me?"

Li Xinmei’s eyes were wild with madness, "Humans, such lowly creatures, always clouded by such messy emotions that cloud their judgment."

"Right now, I don’t feel regretful at all. Instead, I feel great joy. I am no longer a human being."

"But... I have become a being far superior to humans. You are nothing but my food!!"

As she spoke, the next moment Li Xinmei’s figure abruptly appeared before Lin Yi, and her claws clenched into a fist, the swung fiercely at Lin Yi.

Seeing this punch, Lin Yi’s pupils contracted sharply.

Li Xinmei’s speed was much faster than he had imagined.

Such speed had totally surpassed anything before, and even faster than him wielding the Red Moon!

"Boom!!"

Lin Yi held Red Moon in front of him, and the punch landed heavily on it, sending him and Red Moon flying.

"Bang!"

The force of the blow completely exceeded Lin Yi’s expectations.

Even Li Chen, who was sent flying, had punched a large hole right through the ceiling of the abandoned warehouse.

"Li Chen!!"

Struggling to stand, Lin Yi found himself devoid of strength. Watching Li Chen being flung away, Lin Yi’s eyes were filled with concern.

"Boom!"

Soon, Li Chen fell from above once again.

But this time, Li Chen, who landed, was already positioned in a combat stance, and he slashed fiercely at Li Xinmei with the Red Moon.

"Clang!!"

In Li Chen’s shocked gaze, the blade was actually blocked by Li Xinmei’s claw.

The next instant, another claw of Li Xinmei suddenly reached out, leaving three deep, bone-revealing gashes across Li Chen’s chest.

Blood instantly seeped through Li Chen’s clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the front of Li Chen’s body was completely drenched in blood.

"Indeed, very strong," Li Chen said, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He was injured.

And severely at that.

Li Xinmei’s punch just now was indeed heavy. Although it was blocked by the Red Moon, the shockwave through the blade still caused him internal injuries, and that claw just now exacerbated his condition significantly.

"I can’t go on like this anymore; otherwise, I’ll definitely be the one who dies!" A hint of hesitation appeared in Li Chen’s blood-red eyes.

Just like Li Xinmei had her reservations, he had his too.

But now didn’t seem like the time for reservations.

If he didn’t find a way to kill Li Xinmei soon, he would surely die!

"What’s wrong? Li Chen, is that all the strength you have?"

"Such strength isn’t enough to kill me."

"Do you still feel pity for me now?"

Li Xinmei laughed sharply, her dual-toned voice making the laughter especially eerie and chilling.

"You have no right to pity me, because only the strong have the right to pity the weak, and now, I am the strong one, and you are the weak. Therefore, the one who should feel pity is me."

"Li Chen, do you know? In my eyes, you’re just a pitiful worm, at least for now!"

Li Xinmei laughed sharply again, as if in this moment, she wanted to reclaim all the humiliation and hatred Li Chen had caused her before.

"Enough talk, don’t worry. After you die, I will send that woman down to reunite with you!" Li Xinmei sneered.

Li Chen, who had been relatively calm, turned grim upon hearing Li Xinmei mention Lin Yi.

His blood-red eyes coldly met Li Xinmei’s: "Your words from before, I will return to you. Do you really think you have already won?"

"What do you mean?!" Li Xinmei’s massive body seemed stimulated by Li Chen’s words, trembling suddenly.

The reason she had lured Li Chen here was because she had seen that he seemed to have endless tricks up his sleeve, and she wanted to use other methods to kill him.

In her opinion, in such circumstances, Li Chen should be at his wit’s end. His most important ace should be that red blade.

But now, even with that red blade, he was not her match. Did he have another trump card?

Li Xinmei became abruptly vigilant.

"I think you should be able to guess that this blade is my biggest trump card," Li Chen said with a somewhat helpless smile. "Yes, it is my biggest trump card."

"But there’s something I forgot to tell you. I’ve only revealed half of this trump card."

As he spoke, a smile on his face, Li Chen grabbed the Red Moon, and stabbed it fiercely into his own body.

"Shlick!"

Blood splattered.

"What?" Seeing this, Li Xinmei subconsciously wanted to stop him, feeling a strong sense of unease from Li Chen’s action.

However, before she could act, a cold aura, as if emanating from the frigid polar regions, suddenly burst forth from Li Chen’s body.

Li Xinmei’s advancing foot was brought to an abrupt halt by the chilling aura.

Not far away, Lin Yi suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, as his breath turned into visible white mist.

The temperature of the entire warehouse plummeted at that moment.

Li Chen’s expression also turned cold and ruthless.

His blood-red Long Hair grew another foot longer.

Looking at Li Xinmei, Li Chen slightly parted his lips.

His pale teeth, along with the vivid bloodstains, made Li Chen look incredibly fearsome at that moment.

"This is my last ace in the hole," Li Chen said, his blood-red eyes fixed on Li Xinmei, filled with savage killing intent.
