Chapter 997: Chapter 969: Li Chen’s Smile

"Is this the place?"

Ning Wangyang dragged his damaged body, standing before an abyss that was bottomless.

In front of him was a long, narrow crack.

The diameter was over a kilometer, and its width exceeded several dozen meters.

Below the crack was pitch black, leading to unknown depths.

His body had returned to the state of a normal person, but the horrifying wounds on it remained unchanged.

Even the black sword he had wielded for years was now irreparably damaged.

His face was covered with weariness.

Although the magic patterns on his body were tirelessly mending his wounds, the speed was terrifyingly slow.

In his current state, he could collapse at any moment.

Yet, he had made it here.

His presence here meant that his enemy was dead.

Behind him lay an infinite expanse of yellow sand spreading across the sky.

Faintly, he could sense some different auras, but those had vanished before the abyss.

He stood alone in front of the bottomless crack.

It seemed as if the world around him had reduced to just him alone.

"This is the place." A voice rang in Ning Wangyang’s mind. The originally sinister voice had become exhausted at this moment.

"Kid, do you know you had a near-death experience just now, if it weren’t for..."

However, Ning Wangyang interrupted the voice before it could finish: "Do you think I still care about life and death now?"

Silence enveloped the voice.

"I found it." A relaxed smile appeared on Ning Wangyang’s lips: "This is my final resting place."

Ning Wangyang slowly turned his head, gazing towards The East, where his brothers, his family, and... the one he loved were.

But...

"Farewell, my friends."

He looked affectionately in that direction. Though he saw nothing within his line of sight, just endless yellow sand, he felt as though he could see those close to him.

Taking one step forward, Ning Wangyang’s figure vanished into the crack, falling into the seemingly bottomless abyss.

...

The terrifying air blast was like a missile explosion, creating a tremendous momentum around.

Even the Holy Mountain Yu family disciples and Nether Army warriors, who had deliberately kept their distance, were swept away by the terrifying air blast at this moment.

Many were directly blown away.

A few powerful ones barely held their ground, struggling to look towards the source of the air blast.

They did not know what happened. But they understood that astonishing changes were likely occurring in that direction.

"Hoo——"

The frenzied air blast raged for several minutes, gradually calming down.

As the air waves dissipated, the crowd could finally see the situation at the battle’s center.

Catherine, full of worry, continuously observed with binoculars.

Gradually, the figure at the battle’s center started to become visible to everyone.

At this moment, only one person stood at the battle’s center.

Luo Kai!

Seeing this scene, Catherine’s heart sank suddenly.

Yu Manfang’s corpse lay beside him, like a mummy drained of all moisture, and seemingly due to the previous impact, even Yu Manfang’s corpse had become severely damaged.

Li Chen’s huge mutated body was also kneeling on the ground.

Covered in blood, horrifically alarming, even some of the Holy Mountain and Yu family disciples with weaker mental tolerance nearly vomited at the sight.

Tragic!

Is ’tragic’ even enough to describe it?

His skin and flesh looked as if they were slashed by countless daggers, then scorched by flames, completely flipped over.

And not just in one place!

Such wounds covered Li Chen’s entire body.

Li Chen showed no sign of movement, looking as if he were dead.

Ye Tu’s eyes were filled with madness as if ready to rush over and fight Luo Kai to the death.

However, at that moment, the Nether Wolf beside Ye Tu suddenly grabbed him.

"No! The boss isn’t dead!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the red tint in Ye Tu’s eyes faded slightly, and he looked again.

Finally, he saw Luo Kai’s expression.

What kind of expression was that?

Fear? Panic? Or disbelief?

At that moment, the kneeling Li Chen moved slightly.

His legs, which had been driven inches into the ground, slowly drew out from the earth.

When Li Chen stood up, everyone could see that the great sword in Luo Kai’s hand had been blocked!

Blocked by Red Moon, firmly halted above Li Chen’s head.

But just the residual power alone turned Li Chen into such a state, revealing the terror of this sword.

Yet!

Li Chen was still alive!

"Roar!!"

A roar echoed again, and in the moment Luo Kai was still stunned, Li Chen’s left claw violently ripped across Luo Kai’s chest.

"Shh—"

A spray of blood scattered into the air.

The wounds on Li Chen’s body began rapidly healing at a bizarre speed. Even faintly, one could see the rolling hot blood beneath the torn skin continuously stimulating his body.

"Monster! Monster!!"

Luo Kai screamed as he flew backward, suddenly becoming frenzied, actually abandoning Li Chen and turning to flee.

That was his strongest strike just now, and even he couldn’t bring forth such an attack a second time.

Yet even such a sword was blocked by Li Chen.

Moreover, Yu Manfang was dead now, his fighting spirit dissolved completely in an instant.

Even an Earth-level expert had chosen to flee at this moment!

This turn of events surprised everyone.

However, Li Chen seemed to have locked onto him, showing no intention of letting him go.

With a stomp, he again appeared behind Luo Kai and fiercely slashed at Luo Kai’s back.

"Poof!!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed, and Luo Kai was struck down to the ground.

Facing the approaching Li Chen, Luo Kai’s eyes turned fanatical.

"Damned monster! Since you won’t let me leave, then... we’ll die together!!"

Luo Kai screamed as his body suddenly started swelling.

"Not good! He’s going to self-destruct!" Ye Tu’s expression changed.

The self-destruction of an Earth-level expert was not a joke; if mishandled, all of them could die here.

At that moment, a focus appeared in Li Chen’s blood-red eyes.

Turning his head, Li Chen looked at the Nether Army crowd.

Everyone saw Li Chen seemed to smile at them.

Then, Li Chen surprisingly rushed forward to embrace Luo Kai, stomping his foot, and dashed into the sky.

"Boss!!"

"No!!"
