Chapter 746: Chapter 718: Li Chen’s Fatigue

"Are you alright?" After resolving the situation with Davis, Li Chen finally turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoyue beside him and spoke.

"I’m fine..." The look in Jiang Xiaoyue’s eyes as she watched Li Chen, however, became even more curious.

Even she had not expected that a man who seemed like he had just had his heart broken on the plane would actually be such an incredible master.

Although many things were unknown to ordinary people, at a certain grade, they would naturally become clear.

For instance, the Main God Ranking and the Earth Ranking were things Jiang Xiaoyue knew very well.

Truth be told, when she heard Davis say he was a strong contender on the Main God Ranking, Jiang Xiaoyue had almost despaired.

But this strong figure from the Main God Ranking had been effortlessly kicked over by the man beside her?

What kind of powerful figure was he?

Girls always have a bit of a heroine complex, and as Jiang Xiaoyue gazed at Li Chen, her eyes held not only curiosity but also couldn’t help but brim with little stars.

"That, Jiang..."

"Just call me Xiaoyue!" Jiang Xiaoyue said, batting her large eyes as she gazed at Li Chen.

"Alright, Xiaoyue..." Li Chen nodded, then his gaze darted towards a certain direction.

Over there, those Earth Ranking powerhouses who had previously appeared so aggressive had now turned timid. As soon as they caught Li Chen’s gaze, they were frightened into screaming and turned to run.

As a joke, could they possibly contend with someone who dealt with a Main God Ranking powerhouse with ease?

"Go wake up your bodyguards. I should be going," Li Chen said.

"Mm... Brother Li Chen, could you tell me your phone number?" Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly appeared somewhat bashful.

"It’s not what you think! I just want to properly thank you if there’s a chance in the future!" Realizing how Li Chen looked at her, Jiang Xiaoyue hurriedly explained.

"It’s alright." Li Chen shook his head gently, not picking up the thread of the conversation.

He went over to the two unconscious bodyguards and touched each one lightly.

Immediately, the two bodyguards opened their eyes, looking somewhat dazed.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaoyue still beside them, the two bodyguards couldn’t help but show a look of joy.

"I’m fine now, it’s Brother Li Chen who saved...eh?"

When Jiang Xiaoyue turned around, she found that, unbeknownst to her, Li Chen had already walked far away.

"If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again."

Li Chen didn’t look back. He waved his hand towards Jiang Xiaoyue and stepped away from the place.

For some reason, as she watched Li Chen’s retreating figure, a sudden urge to cry welled up in Jiang Xiaoyue’s heart.

...

Not long after he walked away, a car stopped beside Li Chen.

Li Chen didn’t hesitate, opening the car door and getting in.

This was the Nether Army coming to pick him up.

Sitting in the backseat of the car, Li Chen opened the note that An Qin had given him before she left in silence.

"Everything you want to know is inside the Relic."

The handwriting was elegant, and such simple words were written on it. But for some reason, upon seeing these words, Li Chen felt an even deeper unease.

Why?

Why did she have to be so good to him?

Why risk her life to save him? And why, whenever he needed help, did she always appear by his side?

Even when about to be taken away, she did not worry about herself but was concerned about him.

Why... why is this happening?

Clutching the note, Li Chen closed his eyes slightly.

"During my absence, has anything happened?"

The Nether Army Warrior driving the car clearly hesitated upon hearing Li Chen’s words.

"What’s wrong? Speak up!" Li Chen’s eyebrows raised slightly as he demanded.

After a moment’s hesitation, the Nether Army Warrior said, "Miss Lin Yi, she’s been injured."

"What? Lin Yi has been injured?" Li Chen’s expression changed, "What happened? Wasn’t she under your protection? And I even had Zhong Tian specifically guard her safety, how could she still get hurt?"

"My lord, the person who made the move was incredibly fast, so fast that even we failed to notice him. By the time we realized, Mr. Zhong Tian had already been injured," said the Nether Army Warrior with some difficulty.

Lin Yi getting injured was indeed their dereliction of duty.

"Alright, take me straight to Lin Yi. By the way, how badly is she hurt?" Li Chen asked.

However, Li Chen could tell from the Nether Army Warrior’s expression that the injury probably wasn’t that severe. These warriors of the Nether Army were his trained men of many years, and he could read their every move.

"She only fell down during the attack. It’s just a superficial skin wound. However, Mr. Zhong Tian..."

"What happened to Zhong Tian?"

"Mr. Zhong Tian has been stabbed."

"Take me to them!"

Li Chen didn’t speak further and slightly closed his eyes again.

His previously relaxed heart tightened once more, and simultaneously, the True Qi within his body also began to circulate rapidly again.

His injuries had not fully recovered yet, but as soon as he returned to Linchuan, there were already so many troubles waiting for him. Li Chen understood that he might not get any rest for the time being.

Li Chen’s face, with eyes slightly shut, revealed a barely perceptible weariness.

He was human, after all, and humans get tired.

No matter how strong they might be.

"Investigate!"

When Li Chen saw the wound on Zhong Tian, he turned coldly to the Nether Army behind him and commanded, "Find out who is responsible at all costs. No matter where he’s hiding, as long as he’s in Linchuan, drag him out to me!"

"Yes, my lord!"

A steady voice from the Nether Army followed from behind Li Chen.

Zhong Tian’s injury wasn’t severe, but the knife strike was exceedingly sharp. It had just missed severing Zhong Tian’s artery, which was fortunate because the thickness of his flesh played a crucial defensive role at that moment.

So, to be precise, Zhong Tian also only suffered a superficial skin wound.

"Senior brother, it’s nothing. I have plenty of flesh to spare. Even if he tries to cut me, he won’t finish cutting anytime soon," Zhong Tian said with a silly smile, seeing Li Chen’s concerned gaze.

"Don’t move!"

Li Chen’s gaze suddenly swept across Zhong Tian’s wound.

Seeing the cut, a sharp light flashed again in Li Chen’s eyes.

"Double down on the search for any Japanese who have recently entered Linchuan!"

"Yes, my lord!" The Nether Army quickly responded to Li Chen’s order.

From the wound on Zhong Tian, Li Chen had pretty much made a judgment.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Li Chen to receive a reply from his subordinates.

"My lord, we’ve found him."

When the Nether Wolf brought a short man clad in black before Li Chen, his expression suddenly turned dark.

"Are you from the Sakura Family?"
