Chapter 646: Chapter 643: Battle Against Dark Duke!

The Dark Duke, upon seeing the bloodied Duke Aisi, felt a surge of rage skyrocketing in his heart.

"Immortal Master Li, you’ve gone too far!"

Li Chen, with an expressionless face, coldly replied, "Had you not provoked me, why would I even come here?"

After these words, he pointed to Mei Ruohua and said, "Release her!"

The Dark Duke was taken aback by the remark, glanced at Mei Ruohua in his hands, and asked in surprise, "You are willing to become enemies with our Dark World just for this woman?"

For beings like them, who stood at the pinnacle of this planet; beauty and wealth were but fleeting clouds, only overwhelming power was the true path to supremacy.

Yet, entirely unexpectedly, Immortal Master Li had come alone and braved danger just for a woman. To someone cold-hearted and merciless like the Dark Duke, this was unthinkable.

"Immortal Master Li, if you agree to cooperate with our Dark World in a united front against the United States, and after the United States loses its global dominance, we will rule this planet. By that time, women like her will be at your disposal in abundance; even if you have your sights set on any princess from the Royal Family of Europe, I can make it happen!"

After extending the olive branch of the Dark World, the Dark Duke watched Li Chen with a playful smile.

Since World War I in the last century, when their Western World, led by the Dark World, completely collapsed and the United States took its place as the new sovereign, they had been lying low and biding their time, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

And with Li Chen’s sudden emergence—especially his sinking of an American hundred-thousand-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and miraculously surviving the "Destructing God" nuclear bomb—they overcame their fear of aircraft carriers and nuclear bombs. This stirred the Dark World which had been dormant for half a century into action again.

Of course, they didn’t dare to underestimate the United States, a formidable foe. Hence, their plan was to drag Li Chen into the fray, to bind him to the same battleship as the Dark World.

The Dark Duke believed that Li Chen would certainly agree since the United States was not just a mountain on top of their Dark World, but also atop Immortal Master Li’s head.

Moreover, Immortal Master Li had already sworn a vendetta against the United States.

However, what surprised him was that Li Chen actually refused.

"I’m not interested. Release her, and I’ll release your progeny. We’ll make a fair trade!"

Although the Dark Duke was annoyed, Aisi was his direct descendant, and he couldn’t just stand idly by.

"Fine!"

With a concise and clear "fine," the Dark Duke threw Mei Ruohua, whom he was holding, towards Li Chen.

At the same time, Li Chen also tossed the bloodied Duke Aisi over.

Li Chen caught Mei Ruohua and channeled True Yuan into her body, waking her up.

Mei Ruohua opened her eyes, and to her surprise, she saw Li Chen. Joy burst forth in her eyes.

But when she saw that the terrifying Dark Duke was also present, her heart knew all too well, and the joy in her eyes transformed into guilt.

"Young Master, I’m sorry, I..."

"You violated the Sect Rules; we’ll deal with it once we get back!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Chen deliberately put on a stern face and began to reprimand her.

After saying this, he noticed the many wounds on Mei Ruohua’s body, obviously having suffered a lot, and frowned, asking with concern, "How bad are your injuries? Is it serious?"

Whether it was Li Chen’s reprimand or concern, in Mei Ruohua’s eyes, both were sources of happiness.

She quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum: "Young Master, I’m fine!"

At this time, the Dark Duke had also healed his descendant Aisi’s wounds, and within his deathly still eyes, murderous intent was chillingly palpable.

"Immortal Master Li, since you refuse to cooperate, then this old man will have your blood wash away the blood debt!"

Before the ice-cold words could land, he flicked his sleeve and summoned a black tornado that swept towards Li Chen.

"Coincidentally, I also have plans for a blood debt to be paid in blood!"

As he spoke, Li Chen shoved Mei Ruohua aside, clasped his hands together, and rapidly formed a golden Dharma Seal that he placed in front of him.

"Boom!"

A violent collision thundered through the air. The fierce True Yuan vibrated the surrounding sofas, tables, and tea sets to pieces. Even the crystal chandelier overhead could not bear the load and crashed to the ground.

This first round of the confrontation was just a simple probe. Both parties held back and stopped at the point of contact.

The Dark Duke’s gaze was sinister as he stared intently at Li Chen and let out a ferocious laugh.

"Indeed, you are the first among the Eastern World, but if you think you can run rampant in Europe, you’re still a bit short on experience!"

Li Chen feared that dragging this out would attract other heavyweights from the Dark World, so he couldn’t be bothered to exchange any more words.

"Annoying chatter, take my sword first, then speak such grand words!"

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chen drew the Dragon Abyss Sword with his opposite hand, emitting a lightning-like radiance, tearing through the void and striking at the Dark Duke.

After the initial probing, Li Chen had a rough assessment of the Dark Duke’s strength.

Therefore, he did not hold back with this sword strike!

The Dark Duke also realized the threat this sword posed, and his face turned severe in an instant.

He fiercely swept his sleeve, stirring up a violent black Gang wind, to meet Li Chen’s attack.

His black hurricane was condensed as if solid. It could even stop a mid-range missile.

However, the power of Li Chen’s sword far exceeded that of a mid-range missile, rivaling the power of a War Axe long-range missile.

With a thunderous "rumble," the sword edge, with an unstoppable force, breached through the Dark Duke’s protective Gang wind.

The Dark Duke was greatly shocked, clearly having underestimated the power of Li Chen’s sword.

Yet, he made no move to dodge; instead, he stomped fiercely. The granite floor, unable to withstand his strike, cracked like a spider’s web.

Following that, his black robe exploded into pieces, revealing a dark cloak fluttering loudly, which forcefully blocked Li Chen’s sword.

Li Chen was shocked. The fact that the cloak could block his sword indicated that it was at least as powerful as the armor worn by Young Master Xue—a Quasi-Spiritual Artifact.

The Dark Duke, seeing how the fight had only just begun yet he was already so disheveled, became enraged.

"Damn it, Immortal Master Li, you have succeeded in angering me. I will grind you to dust!"

Before the word "dust" could reach Li Chen’s ears, he threw a punch as massive as a locomotive, roaring forward.

Li Chen, unwilling to show weakness, met his punch head-on, ready for a direct confrontation of raw power.

It was a clash of pure strength, with no subtlety involved. The violent True Yuan from their colliding fists wreaked havoc, shattering the corridor, pillars, and vases in an instant. A torrential surge of killing intent echoed throughout the castle, even tearing apart the surrounding air.

The neighbors, feeling the ground shaking violently, instinctively thought it was an earthquake and ran out of their homes, calling for their children, driven by the instinct to survive.

At that moment, unable to bear the weight, the ancient castle began to collapse. The landmark tower, like a tree felled by lumberjacks, crashed down.

"Oh, my God, what am I seeing?"

"Heavens, the Aisi Castle that stood for five hundred years has collapsed?"
