Chapter 946: Chapter 918: I Will Definitely Wake You Up!

"What is this? Such a terrifying presence!"

"Blade light? Whose blade light can reach such a level?"

"Could it be someone found that woman? Hurry, let’s go and see!"

"Yes, hurry and check it out!"

Li Chen originally didn’t want to cause such a big commotion.

Upon learning that the pursued disciple was most likely An Qin, Li Chen’s heart fell into a state of unease.

As for An Qin, Li Chen couldn’t quite articulate what kind of feelings he held toward her.

Perhaps, at the beginning, Li Chen simply regarded An Qin as a friend, albeit one who carried a certain degree of hostility.

But ever since An Qin positioned herself in front of him, risking her life in a battle against the Black General to save him, Li Chen’s attitude toward her began to change.

It was a change he himself couldn’t fully describe or understand.

Ultimately, when he helplessly watched An Qin be teleported to Holy Mountain, unable to intervene, Li Chen’s heart was filled with guilt.

Though he didn’t express it out loud, this guilt remained buried deep within him.

He could tell that An Qin didn’t want to return to Holy Mountain.

From the attitude of the people from Holy Mountain, Li Chen could also sense their hostility toward him.

But An Qin was different.

Especially after learning from Fourth Grandfather that An Qin was his fiancée—a marriage arranged somewhere in the past—Li Chen’s emotions became even more complicated.

So complicated that, upon hearing others insult An Qin, he could no longer suppress his berserk killing intent!

"Die!!"

A massive blade light descended from the heavens.

This strike from Li Chen held nothing back, fully showcasing his complete strength.

It could be said that apart from the seal of Blood of Heaven remaining intact, this was Li Chen’s most formidable strike so far.

And so, those men died.

Died swiftly and utterly.

Under the blade light unleashed by Red Moon, all of them were shattered into pieces by its razor-sharp edge and overwhelming True Qi.

This is the true power of the strong!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Red Moon greedily absorbed the blood lingering in the air. In this strike, apart from the Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator, the others were completely annihilated!

"You... What are you? No! No, you’re not human—you’re a monster!!"

The remaining Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator stared at Li Chen in terror, unable to comprehend how someone could accomplish something this horrifying.

With just one strike, his entire group had been killed, and moreover, the blade seemed to be absorbing their blood.

At this moment, the Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator had lost all his previous dominance.

His body was riddled with numerous wounds, many of them fatal.

However, he managed to cling to life with his powerful True Qi, hanging by a thread.

His left arm was completely obliterated, and his chest had been torn apart by the furious blade light, showing clear glimpses of his ribs.

"I am a monster; you’re right about that." Li Chen’s cold gaze swept over the dying Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator.

"All my enemies think I’m a monster." Turning his head, Li Chen’s sharp eyes softened as they fell on An Qin, who remained motionless behind him.

"And for those worth protecting, I... am willing to become a monster."

"Thud!"

As Li Chen’s words sank in, the Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator’s eyes widened in disbelief. With his face full of regret and unwillingness, he collapsed to the ground.

Victory had been within his grasp, and soon he could’ve obtained the Realm Breaking Pill.

With the Realm Breaking Pill, he would’ve had the chance to break through to Earth Level, stepping into the Domain reserved for true Super Experts.

Yet all of that had been shattered under the horrific red blade light.

He was resentful, deeply resentful.

But no matter how much, he could no longer hold on.

The Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator, dead!

Turning his gaze, Li Chen looked at An Qin, filled with complex emotions.

He could tell that An Qin had likely lost consciousness—otherwise, she wouldn’t have remained unresponsive throughout.

Looking at the Frost Sword in her hand and the surrounding Ice Seal, Li Chen began to grasp the situation.

"Was it the sword?"

Instinctively, Li Chen lowered his gaze to Red Moon in his own hand.

In the past, he too had nearly been overwhelmed and lost consciousness to Red Moon. But he had endured.

Even now, there was a final layer of power within Red Moon that had yet to be unlocked. Not because he didn’t want to, but because he... he couldn’t.

But An Qin...

"No matter what, I will wake you up again!" Determined resolve flashed in Li Chen’s eyes as he stepped toward An Qin.

"Shhh—"

A streak of icy light zipped past, brushing faintly against Li Chen’s ear.

Small, glittering ice spikes appeared embedded in the tree trunk behind him.

These ice spikes were the very reason for the injuries sustained by the previous Profound Level Advanced Stage cultivator.

An Qin’s face remained cold as she raised the Frost Sword, her ice-blue eyes fixed on Li Chen without a trace of emotion.

"An Qin..." Li Chen spoke with difficulty. "It’s me, Li Chen. Don’t you... remember me?"

Yet An Qin remained silent, as though she hadn’t heard his words at all.

"I..."

Li Chen was about to continue speaking when his expression suddenly turned cold, and in an instant, he shifted his focus.

Within the surrounding forest, figures gradually started to emerge.

"Oh! Someone really did find her!"

"Interesting. Judging by her condition, she won’t hold out much longer. Let’s act now. But let me make one thing clear—the Frost Sword goes to whoever takes it! After all, it’s the key to trading for the Realm Breaking Pill!"

"Hey! Brother over there, you’ve done well. You can leave now." One of them turned his gaze toward Li Chen, chuckling wickedly. "Thanks for helping us find her. But from here on, this no longer concerns you. It’s our turn now."

Li Chen’s icy glare fell upon the speaker. "You mean to say... you’re stronger than me?"

"How amusing." The speaker was a rotund man with a goatee, his strength at Profound Level Advanced Stage—enough for his boldness.

"So, you’re saying you also plan to stick around and meddle?" The goateed man scanned the area, his eyes sweeping over the corpses littered across the ground without a flicker of emotion.

"Looks like a big battle took place earlier. Quite a few casualties, huh? Heh, I wonder... how much True Qi you’ve got left for another fight?"

As Li Chen observed the group, a sinister smile slowly spread across his face.

A smile, eerie in its nature.
