Chapter 1220: Chapter 1192: Fate Won’t Let Him Die
Unsheathed, unsheathing the sword, wind roar.
Li Chen’s three sword techniques were all created at the most difficult moments. It can almost be said that each technique embodies the heart and soul of Li Chen during the stage of strength needed to create this sword technique.
Self-created techniques might be common among Earth-Level Warriors, but most rely on powerful True Qi and their combat power to fight. Those who treat their self-created techniques as their trump card are indeed rare.
Yet Li Chen happens to be one of them.
This sword technique helped Li Chen preserve his life in the Third Layer of the relic, and allowed him to turn the tides when encircled by Chu Songlan and He Baigang, the pair known as Black and White Impermanence.
Although Li Chen’s cultivation has made another breakthrough, the enemy he faces now is unprecedentedly powerful.
Yun Canglong! Burning Heat Level!
Looking at Yun Canglong completely surrounded by the blood-colored tornado, Li Chen’s pores began seeping blood again.
He could barely hold on.
After all, his cultivation was only at the Roaring Level, and the combat power he’s unleashing now has completely exceeded his current cultivation’s limits, as well as the limits his body can withstand.
If not for the regenerative cells in his body frantically working to heal his injuries, he might already have become a pool of blood stain.
But even so, his body’s healing rate was far from what it used to be.
The regenerative cells couldn’t keep up with the rate of his body’s collapse.
"Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer!" Li Chen muttered continuously.
At this moment, a sudden hand stretched out from the enormous blood-colored tornado.
A hand, glowing with golden light.
Before Li Chen could react, this hand suddenly formed into a fist.
In the void, a massive golden fist suddenly appeared and slammed heavily onto Li Chen.
"Boom!!"
Li Chen’s body was struck like a meteor, sent flying.
Lying on the ground, Li Chen was barely recognizable as human, more resembling a heap of mangled flesh, helplessly lying on the ground.
His limbs twisted at bizarre angles, appearing extremely horrifying.
But Li Chen did not die.
Though, enduring such pain might not be much better than dying.
"Crack... crack... "
Even lying on the ground, Li Chen could hear the sound of his bones breaking inch by inch, and his regenerative cells couldn’t keep up with his body’s consumption.
Although his body was still recovering, the speed had become extremely slow.
Li Chen raised his head with difficulty, unable even to move a single inch, his whole body seething with intense pain, his mind throbbing with sharp aches, feeling a strong impulse to faint.
But he knew he couldn’t faint now.
"Pfft!"
As he raised his head halfway, a surge of vital essence rushed to his throat, involuntarily causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
It was evident that Li Chen’s blood color had lightened considerably at this moment, seemingly because the energy within his blood was utterly depleted.
However, to his disbelief, from that blood-colored tornado, another arm extended swiftly.
The two hands seemed to grip something, with fingers clawed, tearing fiercely towards the sides.
"Crack..."
A thunderous roar echoed, and, in Li Chen’s shocked gaze, that blood-colored tornado was forcefully torn apart by those hands.
Yun Canglong’s figure dropped down from the air.
Returning to the ground, Yun Canglong’s face was heavier than ever.
He didn’t look good.
His upper garment was completely torn, exposing a body of muscular build, mismatched with his visage.
Moreover, his body bore numerous scars.
With Yun Canglong’s Burning Heat Level strength, recovering these scars wouldn’t be difficult, yet he hadn’t done so.
And Li Chen’s strike ’Wind Roar’ seemed to have caused him considerable trouble, the scars having been covered with numerous tiny wounds.
Those were caused by Wind Roar.
Yun Canglong’s entire upper body, except for his arm armor-protected limbs, was a mess of blood and flesh.
"I had already regarded you highly, yet in the end, still underestimated you." Yun Canglong looked at Li Chen not far away, with a serious expression.
That last strike was delivered with full force, for others at Roaring Level, or even Roar-level, it might have reduced them to smithers with one punch.
But Li Chen not only survived, he seemed to be recovering.
Such a monster, even Yun Canglong hadn’t seen anything like it for years, not even heard of it.
"Should I feel honored then?" Li Chen tugged at his lips, forming a somewhat forced smile.
He lost.
Though unwilling, Li Chen knew he lost.
Utterly, without recourse.
No matter how many trump cards he had, he couldn’t counter such an absolute difference in strength.
Though Yun Canglong was exhausted, he was still capable of battle.
And he?
Afraid he couldn’t even stand.
A bitterness welled in Li Chen’s heart.
"Ultimately, still not enough?"
Just then, a shadow swiftly flashed by, unexpectedly appearing behind Li Chen.
Quickly grabbing Li Chen by the neck, it rushed away quickly.
"Who is it?"
Yun Canglong frowned, instinctively wanting to pursue.
However, his expression suddenly shifted, turning back.
"Hmm? Burning Heat Level aura? Hongmeng Pavilion people came this fast?" Turning once more to the direction where Li Chen was taken, Yun Canglong’s gaze grew profound.
"Is it really that this kid isn’t meant to die?"
Honestly, Yun Canglong was indeed filled with the desire to kill Li Chen now; such a person couldn’t be called a genius, rather a true monster.
In his view, given time to grow, Li Chen might become more terrifying than his father.
Moreover, Li Chen’s penchant for killing was evidently stronger than Li Changcun’s, such a being...
Yun Canglong’s heart underwent intense struggle.
His current state wasn’t good; even if he caught up to Li Chen, he might be targeted by Hongmeng Pavilion’s fellow rank strong.
And in his current condition, meeting a peer would surely lead to defeat, possibly even death.
"Forget it."
After a long pause, Yun Canglong sighed deeply: "Seems it really is not your fate to die."
Turning, Yun Canglong directly left in another direction, disappearing like a ghost in the blink of an eye.
