Chapter 652: Chapter 624 An Qin’s Stubbornness

In the instant the sword light flickered, Li Chen’s face suddenly took on a bizarre expression.

The Black General had clearly noticed the sound as well, and subconsciously swung toward his rear.

"Boom!"

His fist collided with a sword light, emitting a muffled sound.

The Black General stepped back two steps, temporarily abandoning his absorption of Li Chen, and coldly stared at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

An Qin.

"Why have you come?" Li Chen asked, looking at the suddenly appearing An Qin.

Due to the loss of a considerable amount of blood, Li Chen’s voice sounded extremely hoarse and unpleasant, but it was still distinguishable.

An Qin glanced indifferently at Li Chen but did not speak.

At this time, the Black General gazed at An Qin with a sullen face, "This matter doesn’t seem to concern your Holy Mountain. What do you mean by interfering?"

An Qin’s gaze remained indifferent, "Whether it’s related or not isn’t for you to decide. What happens between you and him has nothing to do with me, but today, I must kill you."

"Kill me?" the Black General sneered, looking at An Qin, "Just with you?"

"Whether I can kill you or not, why don’t we find out?" An Qin’s voice was cold. As her words fell, the Frost Sword in her hand traced a glaring streak of light and thrust rapidly at the Black General.

"Hehe." The Black General, with a trace of a sneer on his face, would have been quite wary of An Qin before, but now, things were different.

Although the fight with Li Chen had left him seriously injured, dealing with An Qin wasn’t much of an issue for him.

As An Qin made her move, the Black General acted abruptly too.

A flash of red light passed, and the Black General swiftly reached An Qin’s side. Before the Frost could pierce him, he fiercely reached out and slapped the side of the Frost.

An Qin’s hand trembled violently, but the next moment, she forcibly twisted her body and kicked at the Black General.

Simultaneously, the Black General also threw a punch, his fist colliding with her foot.

"Boom!"

In an instant, An Qin was sent flying, landing several steps back on the ground, while the Black General, although he swayed slightly, stood firm afterward.

Looking at An Qin’s condition, a harsh smile curled up at the corners of the Black General’s mouth, sensing from their recent clash that she indeed was not his match.

Even if she fought desperately to the death, the victor could only be him.

As for his body now...

Without further thought, the next moment the Black General charged at An Qin again.

His speed was so fast that An Qin saw only a blur as she instinctively positioned the Frost in front of her.

"Clang!"

The Frost emitted a shockwave sound as An Qin was yet again sent flying.

Blood gradually seeped from the corner of An Qin’s mouth.

Seeing this, Li Chen also grew anxious.

He too could tell that An Qin was no match for the Black General.

After undergoing that strange transformation, the Black General’s power had reached a terrifying level, one that even he couldn’t contend with.

Although An Qin was strong, even with the Frost in hand, her power was at best comparable to his current level or perhaps even less. How could she possibly be a match for the Black General?

"Sss!"

A flash of the Frost Sword left a deep wound on the Black General, while the cost for An Qin was a fierce punch from him, resulting in her once again spewing blood and tumbling backwards.

This time, An Qin landed beside Li Chen.

Li Chen could see that this woman was truly injured this time.

But what baffled Li Chen was that An Qin did not show any intention of retreating. From her face, he couldn’t even see too much pain, as if the injury wasn’t hers at all.

"Damn woman, I don’t want to make an enemy of your Holy Mountain! If you keep getting in the way, I will really kill you!" the Black General said to An Qin, his voice gradually filled with murderous intent.

"I said, why don’t you try and kill me? Until the fight is over, how can you be so sure that I will be the one to die?" An Qin’s voice was still cold.

"Good! Good! Good!" the Black General said three times, but his face had turned fierce.

To him, he needed to obtain Li Chen today no matter what. But if An Qin continued to hinder him, he could not simply ignore her.

Originally, he truly did not want to make enemies with the Holy Mountain, but it seemed today, enmity was unavoidable.

The next moment, the energy inside the Black General began to climb again.

Feeling the shift in the Black General’s momentum, Li Chen’s expression changed again. Unbelievably, the Black General had still been hiding his true power!

"This is what you forced me to do! This is what you all forced me to do!" the Black General’s face twisted menacingly as his body underwent another transformation.

Streams of black and red energy began to swirl around him continuously, intensifying the foul stench within the basement.

Even An Qin couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows at this sight.

But that was all.

The next moment, An Qin charged at the Black General again. A flash of cold light streaked towards the Black General’s head.

However, the Black General, whose momentum had increased once more, possessed a power that had reached a terrifying realm. An Qin, who had barely made her move, was violently thrown back.

Once again, An Qin stood up and charged at the Black General, only to be knocked down again.

Over and over again.

Blood gradually covered more and more of An Qin’s body.

Yet, An Qin’s expression remained cold and indifferent, as if she couldn’t feel the injuries she suffered, her demeanor seeming utterly uncaring of her situation.

But suddenly, Li Chen felt something stir in his heart.

"Why?"

Looking at An Qin, who had fallen beside him once more, Li Chen asked with a grim expression.

He didn’t understand—why was this woman so foolish? She clearly saw that she wasn’t a match for the Black General, yet she kept charging at him fearlessly; what exactly did she want to achieve?

"No reason. I just simply want to kill him," An Qin said stubbornly.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen no longer spoke, but a suffocating frustration started to build up inside him.

How could this have happened?

And how did things turn out this way?

Although An Qin didn’t say it, Li Chen could tell that she was protecting him!

But why did she protect him, and why did she do it in such a reckless manner?

And when did he ever need a woman’s protection to barely cling to a thread of life?

Li Chen knew that his current state left him completely unable to fight any longer.

With one arm broken, all his strength drained, and his body seriously injured, he was utterly incapable of battling any further.

An Qin was merely marching towards death, intending to die together with him.

But when did he ever allow such a thing to happen?

"What are you doing?!" Li Chen yelled as he watched An Qin fall and rise again and again, "Just leave! You’re not his match, staying here is just dying with me!"

An Qin didn’t answer; half her body was now dyed red with blood, but she still staggered to her feet and charged at the Black General once more.

"It can’t be!!" Li Chen’s eyes turned blood red again at that moment.

Originally, he had resigned himself to his fate. Yet, An Qin’s appearance changed everything.

He could accept his fate but could not let a woman die for him.

Who am I?

I am Li Chen! I am the King of the Netherworld! How could I let a woman sacrifice her life for me?!

I... will not die!!

Li Chen emitted a crazed growl. At that moment, he mustered the last remnants of True Qi in his body and formed a sharp cone that violently thrust into the mass of energy inside him that he couldn’t control.

"Ahh!!!"

The energy burst forth from Li Chen’s body in an instant.

The Mysterious Energy, when stimulated, erupted with terrifying force, spreading to every limb and bone in Li Chen’s body, rampaging wildly within him.

At that moment, Li Chen even felt like his body was about to burst open; some parts of his body even started swelling strangely.

"No!! I can’t die!! I can’t let her die either!!" Li Chen growled deeply, clenching his teeth as trickles of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"You are the energy within my body, you belong to me! Since you are mine, you must be under my control!" Li Chen roared madly in his mind, his strong willpower desperately keeping him from passing out, veins bulging on his forehead.

At that moment, Li Chen forgot his injuries, forgot the fight outside; all his willpower focused on battling the energy inside him.

"Roar!!!"

Li Chen’s body was motionless, but he could feel his strength skyrocketing at a terrifying speed.

As long as he could hold on, as long as he could endure!

"I refuse to believe, you, originally part of my body, can do anything to me!" Li Chen’s eyes filled with bloodshot lines; unknowingly, he had sat up.

Even his arm, which had been twisted at a bizarre angle, started to heal rapidly amidst a series of cracking sounds.

After a while, Li Chen raised his head again, his eyes bloodshot, and looked towards the Black General.
