Chapter 1208: Chapter 1180: News of Duanmu Wuliang
Duanmu Wuliang did indeed want to self-destruct.
If the gap in strength between the two sides were only slight, perhaps he would still choose to fight to the death.
Even if Li Chen’s strength was not far from Yu Lian’s, he would still risk a battle.
However, Li Chen’s strike just now made him realize the gap between the two.
Whether in speed or power, there was a huge difference between them.
Under such an absolute disparity, the outcome between the two was actually decided before the battle even started.
Duanmu Wuliang didn’t know why Li Chen was so strong, but he knew that his own strength was really too vulnerable in front of this young junior.
Both were at the Roaring Level, why was there such a big difference between them?
Duanmu Wuliang didn’t know, nor did he want to know now. The only thing he wanted to do now was to drag Li Chen down with him.
He was even willing to self-destruct for this.
Even if he died, he couldn’t let his opponent have it easy.
In the eyes of others, he was just a Mad Dog.
But what others didn’t know was that he was actually more cunning than anyone else. He just felt there was no need to please those people.
When facing powerful individuals, Duanmu Wuliang still maintained absolute humility, for example when facing Yun Canglong or that sect leader, he would never rashly speak out.
His madness was just on the surface, merely a layer of defense to prevent others from thinking he was easy to bully. This madness was also one of the reasons people feared him.
But today, this seemingly mad person indeed looked as if he had truly gone insane.
Self-destruction is a path any hopeful person would never choose.
However, Duanmu Wuliang was very clear in his heart that Li Chen was determined to kill him. Moreover, there was an absolute disparity in strength, no matter how he ran, he couldn’t escape.
To him, perhaps self-destruction was already the only choice, and if his self-destruction could cause substantial injury to Li Chen, possibly dragging him down together, it seemed like a good choice.
At least it would let him... die a worthwhile death?
Thinking of this phrase, a strange smile appeared on Duanmu Wuliang’s face.
"To die a worthwhile death" means to die for the goal you want.
And who am I dying for?
He didn’t know, but at this moment, it seemed unnecessary to ponder this question.
Feeling the violent power surging within his body, Duanmu Wuliang, charging towards Li Chen, slowly closed his eyes.
However, at this moment, a cold voice came through.
"Unsheathed!!"
"Chi——"
A streak of blood formed a long thin line at this moment, suddenly flashing past Duanmu Wuliang.
And in the instant the blood streak flashed past, Duanmu Wuliang was somewhat terrified to find that the power surging within him had dissipated at this moment.
Moreover, the speed of this dissipation was even faster than the speed it had boiled up before.
Duanmu Wuliang turned his head with difficulty.
Behind him, a blood-colored long blade was firmly inserted into the ground.
And his abdomen had a large hole that passed completely through.
The position of that large hole was precisely his Dantian!
Just now, Li Chen had used the power of Unsheathed to fling the Red Moon out, piercing through his Dantian!
And the True Qi that was supposed to self-destruct, after the Dantian was shattered, had no residual strength left.
Even if he wanted to self-destruct, he couldn’t do it anymore.
"Pu!!"
A large mouthful of blood spurted from Duanmu Wuliang’s mouth, and his whole body fell to the ground.
Without the support of True Qi, his body had suffered such a terrifying attack and instantly collapsed to the ground.
This was actually his own fault, because he thought self-destruction would allow him to disregard Li Chen’s attack, and there was no need to care so much anymore, as long as he could get as close to Li Chen as possible. But he didn’t expect Li Chen to make such a move.
Walking slowly to the front of Duanmu Wuliang, Li Chen coldly looked at this man who was already at the end of his life.
He didn’t know who the man was, nor did he know the title of Mad Dog, and even the name ’Duanmu Wuliang’ was only something he had just learned not long ago.
But he knew very well, this man must die!
"Any last words?"
Duanmu Wuliang raised his head with difficulty, his eyes full of gloom, but soon, his dark face showed a rich expression of mockery.
"Do you think once we die, it’s all over?"
"What do you mean?" Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.
Duanmu Wuliang raised his head, looking at the sky somewhat powerlessly: "Actually, I’ve figured it out too. At the end of the day, I was just a pawn in someone else’s hand, but sadly, I was always oblivious to it, thinking I maintained a unique status."
A somewhat desolate smile appeared on the corner of Duanmu Wuliang’s lips.
"Just as we were coming over, they were already preparing to make a move." He glanced at Li Chen and said calmly.
"Make a move?" Li Chen’s brow furrowed even deeper.
"Your growth is too fast." Duanmu Wuliang gave Li Chen a meaningful look: "So fast that those big figures felt uneasy. So, to stop your further growth, a certain big figure finally decided to eradicate you and your force."
"You mean..." Li Chen’s expression changed.
"Exactly." Duanmu Wuliang said lightly: "Before we came out, they had already started organizing manpower, roughly twenty Earth-level Experts together. I estimate, by now they should already be reaching your stronghold, right?"
"Twenty people?!"
"Scared now?" Duanmu Wuliang’s eyes showed a silent mockery: "As a member of the Li Family, you must know about the things your Li Family did back then, right? Indeed, more than twenty years ago, no one dared provoke the Li Family, and in the entire Martial Artist World, anyone who saw members of the Li family had to bow down."
"But now, it’s no longer the era of the Li Family." Duanmu Wuliang said lightly.
"If you return now, you should be able to see the corpses of your subordinates." Duanmu Wuliang suddenly burst into laughter.
"The thought of even in death, taking so many with me as companions, I find dying quite delightful! Hahahaha!"
"Chi——"
A streak of blood light flashed, cutting Duanmu Wuliang’s laughter short.
Li Chen coldly picked up the Red Moon that was stuck in the ground.
With a flick of his hand, two strands of powerful True Qi transformed into two small tornadoes, completely shredding the two corpses.
The traces of Yu Lian and Duanmu Wuliang’s existence completely vanished from this world.
And Li Chen, in an instant, changed direction, sprinting madly toward the Nether Army Base.
"Wait for me to return!"
