CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 266 DIVINE FIRE SWORD (1)

Just then, a mocking voice suddenly echoed in the man’s ear: "Why? Why do you all trample on my dignity, why?" The voice was cold and cruel, as if coming from the phantoms of the Nine Nether Hell, making the man’s heart jolt violently.

He turned his head, only to see a handsome man with a cold expression quietly standing beside him. The man’s features were extremely handsome, nearly perfect, and his skin had an unhealthy pallor. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, bearing a clear sneer, as if watching a good show. His tall and slender figure was clad in a tight black outfit, making him appear even more agile and powerful. Chestnut long hair flowed behind him in the wind, adding a strange allure to his presence.

Luo Chen’s figure paused, and he also turned around, his eyes coldly fixed on the man, asking, "Who are you?" His voice carried a hint of vigilance and hostility, clearly aware of the dangerous aura emanating from this man.

The man had a thin straw in his mouth and was looking at Luo Chen with disdain. Hearing Luo Chen’s interrogation, he elegantly spat out the straw and slowly walked forward. His steps were light and agile, as if each step contained endless power. As he approached, Luo Chen felt a powerful force of oppression rushing towards him, making him instinctively vigilant.

"I admit you’re impressive, possessing the strength of a one-star Soul Master at such a young age." The man said as he walked, his voice low and magnetic, as if imbued with an irresistible Magic Power.

Luo Chen stared intently at the man, his fists slightly clenched. He could sense the formidable aura from this man and knew he was an extremely dangerous adversary. However, facing such a challenge, he had no intention of backing down. Instead, it strengthened his resolve to fight.

"So what?" Luo Chen responded coldly, a determined light flickering in his eyes.

The man halted his steps, a cruel smile appearing on his lips: "So what. I originally planned for this useless pawn to take out one or two of them first, but I didn’t expect you to ruin it." As he spoke, he glanced at the man still gasping on the ground, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen immediately understood. It turned out this man and the previous one were cohorts; they planned to use that man as bait to ambush him and his group. However, their plan was uncovered and thwarted by him. Realizing this, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. He coldly looked at the man, speaking firmly, "No matter what plans you have, I will not let you succeed!"

Upon hearing this, the man’s smile became even more cruel. He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upward, and a surge of powerful Soul Power instantly erupted from his palm. Staring at Luo Chen, he said in a chilling tone, "Oh? Is that so? Then let me see your strength!" With that, he suddenly swung his arm, and that powerful Soul Power quickly transformed into a fierce attack, whistling towards Luo Chen!

In the face of this sudden attack, Luo Chen was not the least flustered. His figure flashed, deftly dodging the fierce assault, then swiftly launched a punch, aiming straight for the man’s chest! His movements were rapid and decisive, like a lightning bolt tearing through the sky, leaving no trace of his figure.

The man clearly did not expect Luo Chen’s speed to be so fast. He couldn’t evade in time and had to withstand the punch head-on. A resounding "bang" was heard as the two fists collided fiercely, unleashing a powerful wave of energy that swept across the battlefield, causing the surrounding air to tremble!

After the strike, both stepped back several paces to stabilize themselves. Luo Chen looked coldly at the man; he knew this man was an extremely formidable opponent, but he felt no fear. On the contrary, his fighting spirit burned even more intensely. He fixed his gaze on the man, preparing to meet the battle that lay ahead.

The man also looked coldly at Luo Chen, his expression growing more somber. He realized he had underestimated this young man, whose strength was truly formidable. He would now have to muster his true power to defeat him. Thus, they stared at each other as if they were two fierce beasts about to clash, neither willing to make the first move. The atmosphere became exceedingly tense, creating a suffocating stillness as if the very air had solidified.

A look of regret crossed the man’s face as he shook his head, seeming to lament an unattainable mission.
