Chapter 1402: Chapter 1373: Battling a Heavenly Level Opponent!
Although Li Chen’s own strength has not yet reached the Heavenly Level, it does not mean his vision is that poor.
Among the few people coming towards the desolate mountain, half of them have a thick aura, condensed without being released, with much more concealment compared to the Earth Level.
Li Chen asks himself if even this simple aspect is hard for him to achieve, and his current strength is already close to the Heavenly Level. If even he struggles with this, aside from a Heaven-level strong, what else could they be?
Before Li Chen could wake her, Bai Tianyi was already awake. Likewise, she saw the commotion in the distance, her expression somewhat fearful, hiding behind Li Chen, making him feel increasingly speechless.
This girl’s cultivation is something even he can’t discern, but she doesn’t seem to have any combat power!
Li Chen couldn’t afford much thought because the person being pursued had already rushed toward the desolate mountain.
The desolate mountain isn’t big; it could even be said to be quite small. With such a small mountain, given the opponent’s Heavenly Level strength, rushing over here, it’s clear they’ve discovered Li Chen and Bai Tianyi.
And their purpose, naturally, need not be said.
Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The person fleeing for his life has a vicious look, not even close to Li Chen, yet he already felt a faint killing intent from the person.
Perhaps his cultivation isn’t as high as the opponent’s, but Li Chen assures himself his perception of killing intent isn’t weaker than anyone else’s.
This is a ruthless character who has killed before!
And it seems he’s targeting him.
Red Moon silently hung behind Li Chen, yet on the surface Li Chen looked defenseless, only Bai Tianyi, behind Li Chen, could see the Blood Demon Blade behind him.
“Someone’s here!” The fleeing man had a face full of flesh, with a slender scar stretching from the corner of his left eye to his chin, looking extremely fierce. Upon seeing Li Chen, the man couldn’t help but show a smile.
“Not at Heavenly Level, yet daring to be alone in the wilderness, quite bold. But thanks to your bravery, today I ask you to help me evade these City Hunters.” When he saw Bai Tianyi behind Li Chen, the man’s smile grew even more sinister.
“Turns out there’s a little beauty too, seems you don’t have much value now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man charged straight at Li Chen, raising his hand towards Li Chen’s throat.
Looking at his manner, he clearly didn’t place the not-even-Heavenly-Level Li Chen in his eyes at all.
In the Heaven Realm, there are indeed many Martial Artists not at Heavenly Level, but Heavenly Level is the minimum standard for a strong to have a say. Normally, even Near-Heaven Level individuals seemed no different from ants in the eyes of Heaven-level strong.
Seeing the man’s actions, Li Chen’s eyes intensified.
He could feel, at the moment the man reached out, a powerful binding force surged from around his body, as if trying to imprison him completely in place. If it were an ordinary Infinite Level powerhouse, they might not even be able to fight back.
Li Chen’s Blood of Heaven ignited instantly.
Watching the man’s grasping hand, almost instantly Li Chen drew the Red Moon from the waist behind him, the Power of the Five Elements within him suddenly circulating, unexpectedly breaking through the man’s confinement.
At the same moment, as he broke free from the man’s bind, the Demon Blade in his hand cut out instantly.
“Unsheathed!”
Despite being last to strike, Li Chen’s speed at this moment exceeded the man’s by a fraction, the blood-colored saber slashing at the man’s wrist in an instant.
The man never expected that a mere boy not even at Heavenly Level could break free from his bind, for a moment stunned.
“Swoosh—”
A streak of blood light flashed, a hand of the man was cut off by Li Chen.
At the same time, the man, pained, finally reacted, countering with a punch to Li Chen’s chest.
“Crunch!”
Li Chen could clearly hear the sound of his chest bones shattering, yet he forcibly stepped back to halt his movement.
One foot was pushed deeply into the soil by the powerful impact.
Li Chen’s combat experience was extraordinarily rich; how could he not know he couldn’t retreat at this moment?
If he were to retreat, he’d give the man time to recover, and he would truly be in danger.
Enduring the severe pain, Li Chen lowered his body, delivering a sweeping kick fiercely at the man’s ankles.
“Crack!”
This sound still came from Li Chen’s leg.
Li Chen knew this should be the so-called Law Protection used by the original Ling Canghai.
But his goal was already achieved.
Though he didn’t injure the man, his kick caused the man to lose balance, falling to the ground.
The next moment, Li Chen swiftly stabbed the blade towards the man’s chest.
“Zzz—”
To Li Chen’s amazement, even when he lost balance, the man still seized his blade at that instant.
The palm was cut by the sharp Red Moon, blood continuously absorbed by it, visibly causing the man’s complexion to pale rapidly, yet on the man’s face, there was more of a sinister smile.
“Kid, no wonder you dared to bring a woman to such wilderness, you indeed have some tricks, but you’re finished now…”
“Boom!!”
Li Chen didn’t listen to the man’s nonsense, charging straight ahead, raging the Metal Attribute Power onto his leg, delivering a fierce knee strike to the man’s lower body.
“Urgh!” After this hit, the man’s complexion changed from pale to liver-colored, and his body was flown away.
“I’ll rip your muscles and refine your soul!!”
Blown away, the man let out a howl.
The next moment, Li Chen felt some difficulty breathing, his body suddenly pressed down, almost falling to the ground.
It wasn’t because of anything else but that the ground around him was suddenly increasing in gravity!
This man turned out to be an Earth Attribute Heaven-level Martial Artist, and Li Chen’s madness successfully provoked his anger.
Just as Li Chen was contemplating how to escape, a shrill cry came from nearby.
“Qiu Li, you can’t escape!”
“Damn!” The man’s expression changed as if suddenly remembering he was still being pursued, ignoring Li Chen, and attempted to flee.
Yet before he could take a step, two earth-yellow arms abruptly emerged from the ground, grabbing his legs.
Even though it was a mere momentary break in confinement, Qiu Li couldn’t avoid his figure pausing for a second.
And it was during this instant that various forces surged towards Qiu Li from all eight directions.
The most striking was the huge golden fist in the air.
Seizing the moment of Qiu Li’s pause, the enormous golden fist dropped down instantly.
