Chapter 952: Chapter 924: The Deterrence of the Red Moon!

Li Chen had experienced countless battles up to this point.

Among them, the life-or-death encounters were particularly numerous.

But if one were to count the most dangerous battle Li Chen had faced, it was definitely after he truly stepped into the ranks of martial artists.

Fighting martial artists, especially those at a higher realm than oneself, required extreme caution—any slip-up could cost him his life.

But, fortunately, Li Chen survived.

Moreover, he accumulated considerable experience in battling opponents above his rank.

Though he still wasn’t a match for an Earth-Level Warrior, he now had full confidence that he could escape unscathed if faced with Yu Manfang.

Of course, that was when he was at his peak.

As for someone like Zi Zhao, who was clearly a tier stronger than Yu Manfang, Li Chen currently lacked the ability to confront them.

But even against Zi Zhao, the blade he "Unsheathed" had created significant trouble for them.

In other words, this was an ultimate move so powerful that even Earth-level experts had to tread carefully around it.

Li Chen, not coming from a traditional martial artist background, had no idea of the true value of this blade he crafted himself. To him, the only things that mattered were enemies and the enemies he killed.

While Li Chen didn’t understand, that didn’t mean others were ignorant.

Beneath this strike, standing before Li Chen were four Mystic Rank experts.

Three dead, one seriously injured.

This was the terror of Li Chen’s blade.

After this strike, everyone who looked at Li Chen displayed horror on their faces. Many weaker individuals had already begun fleeing.

Too terrifying!

This man was simply too terrifying.

It must be noted that the three people he had just killed were all Mystic Rank experts!

Moreover, two of them were Mystic Level Advanced Stage warriors.

That blade—if it were to fall on themselves—many shuddered to think what would happen.

Previously, they had little concept of Li Chen’s true strength.

But after this strike, they fully understood the gulf between the two sides.

It was like the deep chasm carved by this blade; one side was on the left, the other on the right.

But the line in the middle was an uncrossable divide.

At this moment, many people entertained thoughts of retreat.

While they hesitated, Li Chen did not.

After slaying four Mystic Rank experts in a single blade strike, Li Chen immediately charged through the opening.

The direction he headed for wasn’t random—it was toward the relic’s location.

"Almost forgot about that..."

Others failed to notice, but the girl in Li Chen’s arms, An Qin, saw clearly.

Though Li Chen’s eyes remained blood-red, his face had started turning pale.

Despite his True Qi being incredibly deep, far surpassing that of typical Mystic Level warriors, and his physical body being extraordinarily powerful,

Even the strongest had limits.

The technique "Unsheathed," which Li Chen had developed himself, was specifically designed to deal with martial artists with higher cultivation than his own.

Thus, while "Unsheathed" possessed immense power, it also caused terrifying depletion on his body.

On the way here, Li Chen had already used "Unsheathed" once. The strike just now counted as the second blade.

Li Chen had roughly calculated that with his current reserves of True Qi, even if he completely drained himself, he could only unleash "Unsheathed" three times.

The blade he just struck—he had no other choice.

The sheer number of people surrounding him was overwhelming. Even after killing several of them, there were still plenty of strong opponents remaining.

And in the distance, more people seemed to be approaching.

With this situation, Li Chen grew increasingly anxious.

If too many gathered, it would only worsen his predicament.

Thus, he had to unleash the second blade.

"The third blade must not be used unless it’s the absolute last resort. Otherwise, things could become far too dangerous," Li Chen silently resolved within himself.

Indeed, he could still unleash one more blade, but after that, he would temporarily lose his ability to fight.

Unless he could guarantee eliminating everyone in the forest chasing him with a single strike, he wouldn’t make a foolish move.

"It seems this trouble really isn’t small," feeling the approaching presence, Li Chen’s face revealed a faint smile.

"But since they want to hunt me, they should first be prepared to die by my hands," Li Chen grinned wickedly, and with the relic’s aura beneath his feet, his confidence was renewed.

Even if he couldn’t win outright, he could still escape, couldn’t he?

"So, you were hiding here all along!" A Yellow Rank Martial Artist arrived first, staring at Li Chen with greed on his face.

"Stop trying to run. Today, you’re as good as dead. As long as you agree to hand over the girl in your arms and your weapon, we can conclude our transaction peacefully," the man sneered coldly.

"Oh, really?" Li Chen shook his head slightly. "What a shame, I think your deal is completely unfair," he said weakly but mockingly.

"Unfair?" The man stared at Li Chen and suddenly burst into laughter.

"You’re talking about fairness with me? Hahaha... What a pity, there’s never been fairness in this world!"

As the man spoke, several other figures appeared beside him.

Their strength, without exception, was at least Mystic Rank!

"Hmm?" Li Chen’s expression shifted slightly, not expecting this man to have so many powerful allies appear at once.

But there was no time to think further, as the first man had already launched an attack toward Li Chen.

"Clang!!"

Parrying the attack, Li Chen delivered a vicious kick to the man’s chest.

"Whoosh—"

Instantly, this Mystic Level Intermediate Stage expert was sent flying by Li Chen’s kick.

The others quickly rushed forward to chase and attack Li Chen.

"Looks like I haven’t killed enough yet!" Li Chen snarled, his voice grim. "I wonder, after killing you all, will there still be people chasing me?"

With An Qin in his arms, Li Chen’s speed was unaffected.

In that moment, he surprisingly charged at the attackers himself.

The Red Moon blade swung out, its brilliant hue bringing an endless tide of death.

The Mystic Rank experts encircling Li Chen finally hesitated now.

It wasn’t that they no longer coveted the rewards, but Li Chen... was simply too strong.

They began to realize that the blade in Li Chen’s hand might very well be the one carried by that legendary figure from long ago.

"You... What is your connection to him?" One of the Mystic Rank experts stammered nervously.

"Him?" Li Chen wiped his nose and then shook his head. "I have no idea who you are talking about."

"All I know is that if you keep standing in my way, I will show no more mercy!" Li Chen declared decisively.
