Chapter 1390: Chapter 1361: One Step Away
Wordless, is the blade Li Chen forged in the almost certain death of a desperate ground.
Such a blade is not only meant to slay enemies but also serves as a tribute.
However, the strength and eeriness of this blade have surpassed Li Chen’s own expectations.
In the face of this blade, it seems there’s nothing he cannot sever.
Similarly, wielding this blade comes at a tremendous cost.
Red Moon can amplify the power of this blade to its peak.
But if we talk about concentration, it was Lieu Zhanxiao’s sword transformation strike that was the true key to heavily injuring Behemoth.
This Great Sword embodies all of Lieu Zhanxiao, while Li Chen inherits Lieu Zhanxiao’s Yisheng.
One life, one sword.
Heroes are wordless.
Perhaps only this sword can reveal the strongest form of Wordless.
And to make it happen, Li Chen even forcibly burned the Blood of Heaven within himself after observing Feng Yizhu, catalyzing the strike with its power.
Not as Li Chen expected, but it did go against Ling Canghai’s might.
What was previously thought to be absolute defense, Law Protection, was broken.
By Li Chen’s sword, it was cleaved apart.
Ling Canghai paid the price for his negligence.
“Chi—”
An arm, along with half of the shoulder, fell from Ling Canghai’s body.
Yet before it hit the ground, a line of blood appeared on the severed arm.
Before touching the ground, the blood from the arm was wholly absorbed by the Red Moon at Li Chen’s waist.
This time, even that Blood Clan powerhouse failed to snatch it from Li Chen.
“Let her go!” Li Chen spoke again, his voice carrying a hint of madness: “Or else, I’ll kill you!”
“You…impossible?!” Ling Canghai’s eyes were filled with disbelief; he couldn’t believe he’d actually been harmed by a mere Great Scorching.
And it was severe!
Even his arm was severed by this young man.
Who…exactly is he?!
The passage guardians of the Heavenly Gate Realm are numerous; he was merely one among them, appointed to manage the passages leading to the Heavenly Gate Realm for only twenty years.
He vaguely heard that over twenty years ago, a manager responsible for overseeing the passages mysteriously disappeared, after which he was reassigned here.
Since then, he’d enjoyed twenty years of being revered.
Until this moment, he realized that the job was indeed very dangerous.
Was the previous manager who mysteriously disappeared actually…
In shock, Ling Canghai didn’t release Lin Yi; instead, he grew even more frantic.
“Get lost!!”
With a wave of his hand, a giant hand of space suddenly appeared beside Li Chen, snapping him away in an instant.
“Once I hand this woman over to those people, I’m quitting immediately!”
It’s true that Li Chen’s attack was ferocious, but it doesn’t mean he could endure a Heaven-level Expert’s attack completely unscathed; he was sent flying, spraying blood.
Ling Canghai stopped the bleeding of his severed arm immediately, and the next moment, he rushed towards the rift with Lin Yi again.
This time, he didn’t even defend but directly used the Power of Space to teleport to the front of the rift.
Seeing Lin Yi’s panicked expression beside him, a strange look flashed across Ling Canghai’s face.
“No matter what, this woman will bring me a great fortune; I won’t have to do such jobs anymore. Damn it! I thought this was a cushy job with prospects, but it’s so dangerous. These lowly ones are all madmen!”
“Don’t let him escape!!”
Seeing Ling Canghai slip into the passage, Infinite Level Powerhouses roared angrily, charging toward the rift immediately.
However, at this time, Ling Canghai displayed a strange smile to the Infinite Level Powerhouses.
“Originally, I didn’t wish to do this, but now, with things as they are, it’s unavoidable.”
A pained look flashed across Ling Canghai’s face.
Retrieving a bottle of transparent liquid from his bosom, he tipped it back, drinking it all directly.
In the next moment, Ling Canghai’s eyes turned an eerie silver.
His silver pupils seemed to reveal endless Mysterious and Profound.
“Space, solidify!”
The Infinite Level Powerhouses rushing toward the rift all stopped under the control of Ling Canghai’s finger, unable to move further.
Yet this wasn’t something he could originally achieve, but with the potion’s help, he could accomplish things he normally couldn’t.
With his single arm, he pointed towards the rift outside the passage again.
“Space, repair!”
The rift outside the passage under Ling Canghai’s point began to repair automatically.
As it repaired, the rift started shrinking.
“Stop it!!”
At this moment, Li Chen roared and charged once more, wielding Red Moon in one hand and Great Sword in another, slashing fiercely at the rift.
“Crunch!”
With Li Chen’s slash, the rift slightly expanded again.
But the next moment, when Li Chen’s strength was exhausted, the rift started shrinking again.
“Space, collide!”
“Boom!!”
A massive force struck Li Chen, and he was once again sent flying.
Through the shrinking rift, Li Chen could even see the tears at the corners of Lin Yi’s eyes, immobilized.
Yet he was helpless.
“Why?! Why is it the same every time!!”
“Why? Why am I so weak!!”
“I want power!!!”
In the nether, as if something was awakened.
A indifferent voice echoed in Li Chen’s mind.
“Power? I give you.”
In the next instant, a large amount of flame suddenly erupted around Li Chen.
The flame appeared inexplicable, and even Li Chen didn’t know why, but he knew he must kill that guy and rescue Lin Yi.
“Space, move!”
In a flash, Li Chen appeared before the rift again, slashing out abruptly.
“Unsheathing the sword, cut one person!”
“Space, barrier!”
Ling Canghai immediately conjured a transparent barrier before him.
Yet it lasted only for a brief moment before the barrier shattered.
“Chi—”
The blade light cleaved through half of Ling Canghai’s body.
With disbelief in his eyes, Ling Canghai’s body flew backward through the passage.
However, just as Li Chen was about to enter the rift and rescue Lin Yi, the rift closed.
At the last moment, Li Chen faintly saw something fall from Lin Yi’s body.
Inside the passage, Ling Canghai’s screams echoed.
And as the rift disappeared, the screams abruptly ended.
