Chapter 948: Chapter 920: Now, You Have No Objections

Li Chen wore a peculiar smile as he stared at the group before him.

"What’s wrong? Laugh, keep laughing. Why have you stopped laughing?"

The Red Moon in his hand remained smooth, without a trace of dripping blood. After all, the blood that touched Red Moon had already been fully absorbed before it could fall.

Just moments ago, Red Moon had already drunk five or six people’s blood.

The number of people entering the forest was unknown to Li Chen. But what he did know was that at least twenty people had already gathered here.

And this number was steadily growing as the battle escalated.

Yet, he did not seem rushed.

Could people arriving be faster than him killing them?

"I’ve already said, I’m here for her. Simply because she is my woman. If you want to lay a hand on my woman, you’ll first need to ask my blade for permission!" Li Chen spoke coldly.

"You’re courting death! Even if you’re strong, can you truly stand against so many experts alone?" A Profundity Rank Upper Stage Expert hissed at Li Chen with rage.

He could see clearly that Li Chen was indeed far stronger than many present here.

However, they still had the advantage of numbers and felt little fear toward him.

"Trying to play mind games with me?" Li Chen chuckled silently. Indeed, the forest was crowded with martial artists, and there were certainly many high-level experts among them.

With his power alone, although he could barely stand his ground, to claim he could kill everyone here was somewhat ambitious. But...

"You’re correct. If all of you join forces, I might not be your match." Li Chen nodded toward the one speaking.

"However!" Before the man could reply, Li Chen interjected, "To kill any one of you, would be effortless for me."

Li Chen’s eyes swept coldly across the gathered crowd. "I assume you’re all here for the Realm Breaking Pill, aren’t you? Now tell me, are any of you noble enough to sacrifice your own life and gift the Realm Breaking Pill to someone else here?"

"This..."

Silence fell over the experts surrounding Li Chen.

Indeed, they were here for the Realm Breaking Pill. But to willingly risk their lives to gift it to another? Only a fool would do such a thing.

Furthermore, most of them knew that what Li Chen said was true.

Even though he might not be able to fight so many experts at once, killing any one of them individually would require little effort.

This fact was made brutally evident by Li Chen’s display of strength.

The death of that Goatee Fatso served as the perfect proof!

The atmosphere grew tense and deathly still.

The Profundity Rank Upper Stage Expert who had spoken earlier now wore a grim expression. His intention had been to pressure Li Chen into surrendering. Instead, he found himself outmaneuvered by the man’s unyielding resolve.

"You came here for her, and in matters like these, isn’t strength supposed to decide the outcome?" Li Chen’s voice rang firm. "Right now, my strength is the greatest among you all. Therefore, she belongs to me. Does anyone have objections?"

The Profundity Rank Upper Stage Expert, unwilling to concede defeat, raised his head sharply. He was about to retort with a "I do..."

Li Chen didn’t even bother to look—his hand raised, delivering a swift slash.

The blade light, crimson as blood, radiated fiercely and crushed toward him in an instant.

The surrounding crowd paled at the sight of the blade light, scattering away from the Profundity Rank Upper Stage Expert’s side without hesitation.

That man, abandoned in his position, watched the blood-red blade light bearing down on him. Panic bloomed across his face. The attack was locked on him—escape was impossible. He had no time to think; pouring all his True Qi into his weapon, he braced himself to defend.

"Boom!!"

At that critical moment, his focus narrowed only to blocking the strike. He didn’t know why, though they were both of the same rank, this man’s strength was on an entirely different level. The only thing he understood was that if he didn’t give his all, this blade might very well take his life... just like the Goatee Fatso!

"Bang!!"

He managed to block the strike, but the price was high.

The sheer force of the blade light tore apart the upper half of his garments, leaving his body battered and bloodied. He was flung far away, landing in utter embarrassment.

"Do you have any objections now?" Li Chen’s cold gaze fell on him, his voice dripping with murderous intent.

The tone made it perfectly clear—should he dare utter another word, the next blade would undoubtedly take his life.

"N-No objections!" The Profundity Rank Upper Stage Expert, still shaken, stammered frantically.

In truth, he no longer dared to speak out.

He had vividly felt Li Chen’s growing impatience. And in his current state, there was no way he could survive a second strike of that caliber.

"Impossible! How could this be? With the same rank, how is his power this overwhelming?" The man stared at Li Chen, disbelief etched into his features.

The disparity—to be at the same Profound Level Advanced Stage, yet to face such insurmountable strength—was unfathomable.

Little did the man know, one of Li Chen’s feet had already crossed into the realm of Earth Level, a step he then chose to retreat from due to his uncertainty about its mysteries.

Moreover, Li Chen’s abilities could no longer be confined within the framework of Profound Level rankings.

Originally, everyone had come for An Qin. Yet no one had foreseen the emergence of this frightening figure. As Li Chen guarded An Qin, silence once again enveloped the gathering—his claim to her now tacitly acknowledged.

Seeing the crowd pacified, Li Chen eased a breath.

Though powerful, he was still limited by the confines of his rank. Facing so many adversaries, even his confidence wavered; furthermore, there might be hidden threats lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. Avoiding conflict was by far the wisest choice.

Turning away, Li Chen stepped toward An Qin.

Yet, An Qin’s current state was far from stable. Seeing him approach, she instantly raised her sword to strike.

"Clang!"

Frost was swiftly caught in Li Chen’s grasp.

A chilling aura traveled through the blade, encroaching upon Li Chen’s body.

However, Li Chen seemed entirely unfazed by the frosty assault. Allowing it to extend along his arm, he reached out with his other hand and firmly embraced An Qin.

"Don’t be afraid. Let us... go home!"
