Chapter 950: Chapter 922 Battle One

Li Chen was not someone who underestimated his opponents lightly.

At the same time, he never belittled himself either.

He knew his own strength very well, but these people’s strength was not to be underestimated either.

Perhaps individually, none of them could be his match, but if they joined forces, even he would find it troublesome.

Yet, he wasn’t worried.

Because he knew that today, he would definitely break through.

"Trust me, I will bring you home... your real home!" Li Chen glanced at the unconscious An Qin in his arms and spoke softly.

From his Fourth Grandfather’s words, Li Chen had learned some things about An Qin.

The An Family, once upon a time, was not a small family, but no matter how powerful a family, it could not withstand the erosion of time.

After the collapse of the An Family’s Enchanted World, they failed to find a new one, leaving them stranded in the external world.

Nevertheless, having good relations with the Li Family, the An Family sent a branch of their bloodline to the Li Family.

But as the Li Family fell into decline, this branch of the An Family was ultimately left to drift in the outside world.

However, Li Chen’s father, Li Changcun, managed to find this branch of the An Family. And somehow, he had arranged a marriage for Li Chen and sent An Qin to the Holy Mountain.

But, whether intentionally or not, Li Changcun had left without making any plans for Li Chen.

An Qin, even after leaving the Holy Mountain, might find it incredibly difficult to locate her family after so many years.

To An Qin, Li Chen might very well be the only person she could rely on in the external world.

"The only one... she can rely on?" Li Chen fell silent.

An Qin’s defection from the Holy Mountain might have other reasons, but in his view, the most important reason was probably himself.

He could not ignore this!

"The one who should apologize is actually me." Tightening his hold on An Qin, Li Chen transferred a stream of True Qi into her body before raising his head to face the martial artists in front of him.

"You should think this through!" one martial artist shouted harshly at Li Chen, "Facing so many of us as enemies, do you really think you can escape?"

"I don’t know." Li Chen shook his head. "But I do know, I can kill you."

As soon as his words landed, Li Chen abruptly raised his hand and slashed, a concentrated blade light manifesting once again, viciously slicing toward the martial artist who had spoken.

In that moment, the principle of self-preservation became crystal clear.

Li Chen’s strike was powerful, but if two or three Mystic Rank experts acted simultaneously, stopping it would not have been an issue.

Yet, no one stepped in to stop the blade light tearing toward the speaker.

"Boom!!"

In the horrified eyes of that martial artist, the crimson blade light exploded upon him. The martial artist, who had only reached the Upper Yellow Rank in cultivation, was shredded into pieces almost instantly by the blade light.

Silence.

The surroundings fell into a deathly stillness once more.

They had planned to deal with Li Chen by capitalizing on his injured state.

Indeed, the strength Li Chen demonstrated was terrifying, but he had taken two sword strikes, and it was clear those strikes had injured him severely.

In such a condition, no matter how strong he was, could he still be as formidable as before?

... This was what most of them thought.

However, after witnessing Li Chen’s latest strike, many began to hesitate again.

Everyone present was an expert. It wasn’t difficult to tell whether Li Chen’s seemingly untroubled demeanor was real or feigned.

But even after taking two sword strikes, why did he appear completely unaffected?

Moreover, that blade strike of Li Chen’s had clearly left quite an impression, causing the group of martial artists to tightly grip their weapons, deliberating whether or not to act.

"Tap, tap, tap."

There were dozens of people present, yet the atmosphere had grown eerily silent, to the point where even the sound of Li Chen’s footsteps became unusually distinct.

Just as Li Chen kept moving forward, a sudden flash of sword light shot toward him from the side.

"Clang!!"

With a swift motion, Li Chen deflected the incoming sword strike.

The assailant stumbled back several steps, but Li Chen was also forced to take a step backward.

This was the first time Li Chen had retreated since he appeared!

The one who struck was a Mystic Rank Upper Stage expert dressed sharply in a suit, whose appearance seemed slightly out of place.

Seeing Li Chen step back, the expert narrowed his eyes slightly before shouting in a deep voice, "He’s indeed injured, and badly! He’s secretly stabilizing his breath—everyone, attack now!"

Hearing the suited man’s words, Li Chen scanned the crowd with his gaze.

As expected, it was different when a Mystic Rank Upper Stage expert spoke. As soon as he said it, Li Chen noticed that envy flickered in many of the surrounding people’s eyes.

Letting out a small sigh in his heart, Li Chen realized that there was no avoiding this battle.

Because many had already begun preparing to attack.

He was indeed injured, and just as the suited man had said, he was badly hurt.

Although he had secretly consumed the residue of a healing medicine and was using True Qi to recover, a keen observer could easily discern his current state.

... Like the Mystic Rank Upper Stage expert who had just attacked.

Seeing the serious look on Li Chen’s face, smiles began to appear on several faces.

Li Chen’s expression seemed only to confirm the suited man’s claims.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Reflections of weapons danced across the nearby tree trunks.

Though their individual strength might fall short against Li Chen, they had numbers on their side.

They believed that so many of them ganging up on one injured Li Chen should be enough.

"So, just surrender to your death!"

Many of them stared at Li Chen with sinister grins.

Humans in groups often had more courage, especially these martial artists who feared neither heaven nor earth.

Even though Li Chen had displayed terrifying power that filled them with dread, it was clear that he hadn’t reached the Earth Level. Without reaching the Earth Level, there was no way he could overpower them completely.

No matter how strong Li Chen was, he was still just a Mystic Rank. With so many of them, could they not handle an injured Mystic Rank?

As he watched the silent crowd gradually encircle him, Li Chen slowly shook his head. He understood that this battle was inevitable.

"Since there’s no escaping it, let’s fight to the end." Li Chen relinquished the last chain of restraint in his heart, and the Red Moon in his hand began to shine even brighter.

"Sizzle—"

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Chen’s jet-black hair began to turn red once again, growing longer with each passing moment.

In his arms, An Qin slowly opened her eyes. The man holding her might look terrifying, but for some reason, she felt an extraordinary sense of safety in his embrace.
