Free Web NovelChapter 1707: Chapter 1704: Zhai Xingzi Defeated!
Li Chen’s words sounded extremely harsh in Zhai Xingzi’s ears.
Especially when he reconsidered the few ruthless lines he’d previously said to Li Chen, it was like being publicly humiliated, making him wish he could disappear into the ground.
Unfortunately, there was no crack in the ground!
Even if there were, with Li Chen, this Killing God, watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
Zhai Xingzi suppressed his anger, staring intently at Li Chen, as if trying to find some clue from him.
Unfortunately, he gained nothing!
Immediately, with a trembling voice, he sternly asked, "Who, who, who exactly are you?"
Li Chen’s eyes were filled with mockery as he coldly said, "Who I am no longer matters. You just need to remember that you will soon vanish completely from this world."
"Speak now, do you have any last words before you die?"
Hearing these chilling words from Li Chen, Zhai Xingzi was enraged, feeling as if his lungs were going to explode.
"Li Chen, don’t push me too far. If you push me to the limit, we’ll both perish together!"
After saying this, he indeed assumed a stance as if he intended to perish together with Li Chen.
Witnessing this scene, all the spectators were scared witless.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, they didn’t hesitate to flee the scene at the fastest speed possible.
Basically, they ran as far away as they could.
If Zhai Xingzi truly detonated himself, then given his Late Stage of Mahayana Perfection cultivation, he might level all areas within several thousand square kilometers around Xingyun City.
By then, all living beings within the area of the explosion would suffer devastating damage.
Even if they survive, they would likely be severely wounded in their primordial energy.
Facing this blatant threat from Zhai Xingzi, Li Chen’s expression remained calm, showing no sign of tension.
"Zhai Xingzi, do you remember Chen Yanshou?"
Zhai Xingzi was startled when Li Chen suddenly mentioned Chen Yanshou.
"He was my master’s Jian Nu, and we grew up together, of course I remember!"
Li Chen sneered coldly, replying, "Once, he too said the same to me. That we’d perish together. Unfortunately, in the end, he perished, but the net remained intact!"
These two sentences, Li Chen said very nonchalantly.
As casually as if chatting about household matters.
But to Zhai Xingzi’s ears, it was like thunder.
He snorted disdainfully, saying, "How can Chen Yanshou’s cultivation be compared to mine?"
Li Chen sneered coldly, replying, "Indeed, Chen Yanshou’s cultivation can’t compare to yours. But now, I am no longer who I used to be!"
"Huh!"
Li Chen’s answer left Zhai Xingzi in fury.
However, he had to reluctantly admit this.
Back at Star-Picking Tower, if Li Chen had this current power, he wouldn’t have fled in panic.
Thinking of this, a strange fear suddenly surged in Zhai Xingzi’s heart.
However, he quickly suppressed this fear.
"Li Chen, tell me, what would it take for you to stop?"
Li Chen sneered coldly, replying, "Very simple, either you kill me or I kill you. As long as one of us dies, the other naturally will stop!"
Hearing this, Zhai Xingzi was furious.
"Li Chen, don’t push me too far!"
Li Chen laughed coldly, "Haha, today I’m pushing you, what about it?"
As the Hall Master of Xingyun Hall, Zhai Xingzi had never suffered such humiliation.
He was so enraged that his teeth were itching, almost grinding them until they shattered.
"Li Chen, even if I die today, I’ll drag you down with me!"
Before the words filled with murderous intent were completely spoken, an extremely violent True Yuan surged from Zhai Xingzi’s body, forming a sky-reaching Tornado, sweeping toward Li Chen with a terrifying stance that seemed capable of devouring all of heaven and earth.
Although Li Chen spoke with confidence, seeing Zhai Xingzi ready to fight to the death, his expression inevitably turned serious.
Even heavily injured, Zhai Xingzi was still at the Late Stage of Mahayana Perfection, with one foot in the Immortal Realm as a top-level power.
If even slightly careless, he could seize an opportunity, plunging Li Chen into a hopeless situation.
Thinking of this, Li Chen had to be exceedingly cautious.
He quickly clasped his hands together, forming a light seal, trying to block Zhai Xingzi’s offensive.
However, in his rage, Zhai Xingzi’s assault was overwhelmingly fierce.
Li Chen’s light seal only lasted two rounds before becoming dull and dim.
It seemed it might collapse at any moment.
Seeing he was once again suppressing Li Chen in momentum, this gave the desperate Zhai Xingzi a new glimmer of hope.
Not only did he see a hope to live!
He also saw the hope of defeating Li Chen!
As long as he could kill Li Chen, he could still be the top figure in Wuyu.
Perhaps, he could seize this opportunity to break through the Life and Death Shackles and advance to the long-coveted Immortal Realm.
Thinking of this, Zhai Xingzi became even more excitable, with his attacks like the waves of rising tides, overwhelming Li Chen and making him feel as if he were coping in vain.
Initially, Li Chen did struggle to cope.
However, he soon spotted the flaws in Zhai Xingzi’s moves.
The reason for not counterattacking was that the time wasn’t ripe.
If he couldn’t deal a fatal blow to Zhai Xingzi, causing him to self-detonate directly.
Facing a self-detonating top-level power at the Late Stage of Mahayana Perfection, Li Chen wasn’t confident of escaping unharmed.
If his foundation were damaged because of this, it wouldn’t be ideal!
Zhai Xingzi saw Li Chen struggling, feeling increasingly self-satisfied, making his attacks even more ferocious.
Li Chen executed a Space Jump, narrowly evading Zhai Xingzi’s attack.
He performed several consecutive Space Jumps, laying down pattern barriers around Zhai Xingzi to restrict his movement space, preventing escape or self-detonation.
After all, for a top-level power like Zhai Xingzi, both self-detonation and escape wouldn’t be the best results for Li Chen.
Zhai Xingzi saw his repeated attacks miss, then he cruelly smiled and bellowed to the sky.
"Li Chen, weren’t you arrogant just now? Why have you turned into a cowardly rabbit, not daring to face me head-on?"
Facing Zhai Xingzi’s arrogant provocations, Li Chen paid them no mind.
At this moment, he regarded Zhai Xingzi as he would a dead man.
For a dying man’s wild provocations, Li Chen really had no interest at all...
