Chapter 700: Chapter 672: Give It Back to Me

To most people, the movements of Inu Ya were mysterious and unpredictable, hardly traceable by the naked eye.

But in Li Chen’s eyes, the trail left by Inu Ya was riddled with flaws.

Ninjutsu, to put it simply, is about exploiting the differences in human vision to create an illusion, thereby facilitating ambushes.

Yet, Li Chen’s method completely blindsided Inu Ya.

Because Li Chen had long stopped relying on his eyes to make judgements.

He placed greater trust in his perception ability.

Just like when he first sensed the formidable aura of the Seven-Colored Being and promptly commanded the Nether Army to retreat.

For Li Chen, perception had become more important in battle than the eyes.

Inu Ya may have been a ninja adept at deceiving the eyes, but all of that was futile in Li Chen’s view, his mere perception sweep let him pinpoint Inu Ya’s exact location.

Grabbing Inu Ya by the throat, Li Chen didn’t waste words and smashed him directly into the ground.

"Bang!!"

The solid deck cratered under the violent force of Li Chen’s impact.

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

After several more smashes, Inu Ya’s face was bloody, and he was clearly dazed.

Only then did Li Chen start searching Inu Ya’s body.

Soon, a cold and clear jewel appeared in Li Chen’s hand.

"This is it!" Looking at the stone in his hand, an expression of pleasant surprise couldn’t help but emerge in Li Chen’s eyes.

Quickly, Li Chen cast Inu Ya aside and, with the Jade Pendant in hand, led the Nether Army straight toward the direction of the helicopter’s landing spot.

Watching Li Chen and his group leaving, Inu Ya couldn’t help but reveal a look of spiteful venom in his eyes, "This matter isn’t over! Just you wait!"

What Inu Ya thought was naturally of no concern to Li Chen, for the most significant fact was that he had now acquired the Cold Jade.

All that remained was to find the Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone.

Once back in Linchuan, Li Chen immediately dialed An Qin’s number he had; he needed to confirm with An Qin whether this was truly the Cold Jade, as getting it wrong would be quite the joke.

An Qin had indeed stayed in Linchuan, and upon receiving Li Chen’s call, it didn’t take long for her to arrive at the location he had specified.

Clad in flowing white, An Qin’s arrival was always spectacular.

However, Li Chen had no time for such thoughts now and quickly handed over the Cold Jade he obtained from Inu Ya for An Qin to inspect.

"Quick, see if this is the real thing," Li Chen urged, looking at An Qin with some anxiety.

"What’s the rush?" An Qin gave Li Chen a look and rolled her eyes.

Nonetheless, knowing Li Chen was worried about Wang Qianqian’s safety, she didn’t say much else.

"It’s genuine, this is the Nine Heavens Frost Jade," An Qin finally nodded and spoke after a moment.

"Really?" Upon hearing An Qin’s words, Li Chen’s eyes displayed an uncontainable joy.

If this was the case, all he had to do was find the Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone; perhaps, the day to unlock the Relic wasn’t far off.

"Speed up the search for the Ice Mountain Fire Dragon Stone, and inform me immediately upon any trace of it!" Li Chen commanded the Nether Army.

"Understood!"

Upon receiving Li Chen’s command, the Nether Army quickly dispersed.

Only Li Chen and An Qin remained at the scene.

Looking at An Qin, Li Chen’s heart quietly sighed in relief. Without An Qin’s help, he really didn’t know when he would find the way to open the Relic. Perhaps, he might never see Wang Qianqian again.

The mere thought of this possibility sent shivers down Li Chen’s spine.

Although Li Chen didn’t know why An Qin wanted to help him, despite the fact that he had killed someone from Holy Mountain, An Qin showed no hostility towards him.

But he felt that this was quite good.

To be honest, he didn’t want to be enemies with An Qin. Even now, he couldn’t bring himself to feel the slightest animosity towards her.

"Oh right, give me back the Jade Pendant," An Qin was about to leave when she seemed to remember something. She turned her head and spoke to Li Chen.

"Jade Pendant?" Li Chen was startled and then pulled out the pendant engraved with the character "Chen" from his pocket: "Is this it?"

"Yes!" An Qin said as she reached out to snatch it.

However, Li Chen withdrew his hand and pocketed the Jade Pendant: "I don’t mind giving it back to you, but first, you have to tell me what exactly is our relationship, and why do you want to help me?"

This question had troubled Li Chen for a long time, and yet he couldn’t figure out what made An Qin go to such lengths to help him.

He could only guess that there must be some connection between An Qin and himself.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, An Qin’s complexion turned red unconsciously, but shortly after, anger appeared on her face.

"Give it to me!"

An Qin reached out directly, trying to snatch it from Li Chen’s hands again.

However, Li Chen was faster and avoided An Qin’s attempt.

"Hmph!"

An Qin snorted coldly, then swiftly slapped a palm towards Li Chen. Since he wouldn’t give it willingly, she had no choice but to take it by force.

"Bang!"

Li Chen casually deflected An Qin’s palm and, with a swift turn, moved behind her: "Don’t be so hasty to use force. Just open your mouth and tell me what’s going on, and I’ll return it to you. Hey hey hey, why are you being so unreasonable?"

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing by as An Qin drew out Frost to use against him.

Clearly, An Qin knew she was no match for Li Chen’s strength, which is why she drew out Frost.

Yet, even with Frost in hand, An Qin was clearly not a match for Li Chen.

Back then, An Qin, wielding Frost, couldn’t even beat the Black General but Li Chen, after his breakthrough, had easily overpowered the Black General.

Now, even though An Qin’s prowess had improved, Li Chen wasn’t stagnant either. Even if An Qin wielded Frost, she was still no match for him.

Before long, Li Chen had restrained An Qin’s hands and held her tightly.

"I say, I only asked two questions, was it necessary to go this far?" Li Chen said somewhat helplessly as he looked into An Qin’s eyes that were flaming with rage.

An Qin didn’t respond to Li Chen’s words but stared intensely at the Li Chen, who was only a few centimeters away from her.

The next moment, An Qin suddenly opened her mouth and viciously bit down on Li Chen’s shoulder.

"Ouch!"

Li Chen cried out in pain and quickly let go of her.

An Qin glared at Li Chen, then, stamping her foot in anger, she drifted away.

She felt that it was utterly impossible to communicate with this jerk.
