Chapter 645: Chapter 617 Li Chen’s Metamorphosis

The night was deep, and it was not possible for Ouyang Wan’er to stay overnight at Li Chen’s place, so she returned to her room.

Li Chen pondered for a long while, but still without any clue, he buried himself in bed as well.

Although with his current state, perhaps even if he didn’t sleep, it wouldn’t affect him too much.

But after all, sleeping is the best way for a human to replenish their spirit, and Li Chen naturally chose this simplest method.

Lying in bed silently, Li Chen was just about to enter sleep when his ears suddenly twitched lightly.

With his senses now incredibly sharp, not only had his strength increased—Li Chen clearly heard a brief scream not far outside that quickly faded away.

Although the scream was short, Li Chen still clearly captured it.

At the instant he heard the sound, Li Chen sprang up from the bed.

He opened the window, but all was pitch black below; he couldn’t see anything.

Almost without thinking, Li Chen jumped straight out of the window.

This was the fourth floor, and maybe for others, jumping from the fourth floor was akin to seeking death, but for Li Chen, it was completely stress-free.

In several bounds, Li Chen landed directly on a street lamp on the road, then leaped down from the lamp.

"Hm?" Rushing in the direction the sound had come from, Li Chen’s eyes flickered with a spark of sharpness.

Lying on the ground was a woman, except this woman, similar to the corpses Li Chen had previously encountered, had been drained.

However, it seemed that because Li Chen arrived so swiftly, the woman hadn’t died immediately but had instead fallen into unconsciousness.

Not far off, a dark figure flashed by.

Almost without the time to think, Li Chen chased after the dark figure immediately.

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh—"

Both individuals were exceedingly fast, covering distances unattainable to ordinary people in almost the blink of an eye.

Even some night owls wandering the streets, upon seeing the two figures, thought they were seeing things.

"Black General..."

Staring at the shadow ahead, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, "It really is you!"

However, the Black General ahead showed no intention of responding to Li Chen and continued rapidly on his way.

For the Black General, facing Li Chen wasn’t a problem, but he didn’t want to fight Li Chen under the public eye.

Even though the police were like ants to him, after all, his identity could not be exposed in front of everyone.

What he was more concerned about were the other forces that might act against him.

The Black General was an old hand in Jianghu and, although not certain that others were monitoring him, felt that finding a secluded place was safer.

Li Chen, however, kept close on his heels, relentless in his pursuit.

"Hm?"

Soon, the Black General was surprised to find that Li Chen was indeed catching up, "How has his speed increased so drastically?"

The Black General was surprised to find that the distance between himself and Li Chen was closing continuously.

Having fought with Li Chen, the Black General knew his capabilities.

Although Li Chen could be considered quite powerful, he definitely shouldn’t be able to reach such speed.

Before the Black General had time for more thoughts, Li Chen had already caught up.

"Boom!!"

After exchanging a punch with Li Chen, the Black General was sent flying backward in an instant.

Li Chen, however, merely halted his footsteps and took a few steps back.

In midair, a red light suddenly burst forth from the Black General’s hands.

The next moment, his speed surged, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in front of Li Chen.

A flash crossed Li Chen’s eyes.

In past battles with the Black General, he had mostly relied on the reaction speed of his body, because often his eyes couldn’t even keep up with the movements.

But this time, he clearly saw the trajectory of the Black General’s attacks.

Not daring to be careless, Li Chen abruptly retreated, transforming his fist into a palm, and fiercely slapped the side of Red Moon.

"Slap!!"

"Hum~~~"

The Black General instantly felt a terrifying shockwave emanating from the Red Moon, and the hand gripping it had its tiger’s mouth crack open in an instant.

This palm strike, Li Chen had shown no mercy.

The Black General with the Red Moon was extremely dangerous, and had he held back, it’s likely he himself would have ended up dead.

Ig pnc the intense pain coming from his palm, the Black General exerted his strength fiercely, gripping the Red Moon tightly again, while at the same time, his leg sliced down towards Li Chen with a sharp gust.

"Boom!"

Li Chen brought his arms together, blocking the leg from the Black General, while his True Qi erupted once again, flipping the Black General upside down.

"What?" A hint of shock flashed through the eyes of the Black General.

The last time he fought Li Chen, even though he had employed some special technique to boost his strength, he wasn’t nearly as formidable as this. How had Li Chen improved so dramatically in just a few days?

Disbelief coated the face of the Black General.

"You... how could you have broken through to Yellow Rank?!" After another palm exchange with Li Chen, the corner of the Black General’s mouth was marked with blood. At this moment, he had fully confirmed his suspicion.

Recognizing Li Chen’s strength, the Black General no longer delayed and turned his head, intending to leave.

However, how could Li Chen let him escape so easily?

In the next instant, Li Chen had moved directly behind the Black General.

The complexion of the Black General changed, he turned his head and swung a blade toward Li Chen’s head.

Li Chen’s hand shot out in an instant. Before the Red Moon could hit him, his fingers tightly gripped the side of the Red Moon. Despite the Black General’s force, it couldn’t advance even slightly.

At the same time, Li Chen unleashed all his strength in an instant.

"Ha!!"

From Li Chen’s mouth, a loud shout was released, and his other arm rose. His fist, transformed into a meteor in an instant, carried an exceptionally wild strength, and hit the Black General’s chest squarely.

"Crack!!"

A gruesome sound of bones breaking came from the Black General’s chest.

In that instant, who knew how many ribs the Black General had broken; his entire body, after spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood, was violently thrown into the distance.

However, it was precisely this strike that had widened the distance between him and Li Chen substantially.

Clutching his chest, the Black General stood up with difficulty: "If it weren’t for me..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he abruptly closed his mouth. Giving Li Chen a deep look, he then turned and walked into the darkness that lay in the distance.
