    48: Chapter 42: Racing Along the Way!

    Li Chen’s gaze had already locked onto the van, which by now had started its engine and begun zooming away into the distance.

    He stomped the ground forcefully, and like a bird swooping down from the sky, Li Chen jumped onto the roadway and then his True Qi surged wildly as he chased after the van!

    Back then, Third Grandpa had used the Five Elements Acupuncture Needles, ensuring he could use his True Qi at full strength without worry for a month, so Li Chen didn’t need to worry about a sudden eruption of his injuries.

    The bystanders on the roadside were all stunned, thinking, ‘He jumped from such a height and not only survived, but is also running so energetically and fast?’

    In almost a few breaths, Li Chen had vanished from their sight.

    The onlookers bore expressions as if they had seen a ghost, wondering, ‘Is this even human?’

    “Mommy, it’s Superman,” said a little girl sweetly as she tugged on her mother’s hand.

    Her eyes sparkled with little stars, and her mother’s head dumbly followed Li Chen’s movement before she fainted with an “ah”.

    Li Chen had no time to care about what the onlookers thought, because no matter what, he couldn’t let them take Wang Qianqian away.

    He was the King of the Netherworld.

    Who dared to snatch someone in front of the King of the Netherworld?

    Even others on the Main God Ranking wouldn’t have the guts to do it.

    The van in front was also moving at an extremely high speed, but Li Chen, like a specter, followed closely behind the van on foot.

    The passersby who were shopping nearby saw a strange scene: someone was sprinting crazily on the road, really sprinting so fast that his legs turned into illusions, going even faster than the average car and running alongside them.

    Holy shit!

    Not just the onlookers, but even the drivers were staring open-mouthed, rubbing their eyes hard.

    “Honey, I really did have work last night which is why I didn’t come home.

    You believe me, right?

    It was truly business; how could I possibly go out and find someone else?

    You’re my sweetheart,” a driver was on the phone when suddenly a gust of wind blew past him.

    He looked over, and was dumbfounded.

    After a while, he glanced at his own speedometer and said dumbfoundedly, “Honey, I just saw someone run past my car, as fast as a car.”

    The mouths of the other drivers could have fit an egg, thinking, ‘This ****** is a person, not a car?’

    Li Chen sprinted madly on the road, displaying incredible agility.

    It seemed the people in the van also noticed Li Chen, as one person in black leaned out, saw Li Chen closely following behind the van, and wore an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

    But he quickly came to his senses, shrank back in, and the van immediately sped up again.

    However, it couldn’t shake off Li Chen at all, and the distance between them rapidly closed.

    They soon reached a crossroads.

    The van didn’t care about anything and charged through the red light.

    The vehicles that were crossing the intersection panicked, swerving hard on their steering wheels.

    The leading Audi completely turned sideways on the road, but before the driver could swear, he saw a figure dash past!

    A hit and run?

    The driver was shocked, thinking he was about to hit the person, but then he saw the individual suddenly jump, avoided the car, and continued to follow the van closely.

    The cars behind, unprepared for the Audi turning sideways, crashed into it.

    “Black Eagle, check if that guy is still following us,” said a few of the men in black in the van, feeling a cold sweat on their foreheads.

    They found Li Chen terrifying; how could a pair of legs be faster than a car?

    The previously mentioned man in black leaned out again, but this time he didn’t see Li Chen’s figure.

    “He must have been shaken off,” said the man in black.

    Jungle Wolf, who was driving, suddenly heard a tap on his window.

    As he turned his head, he almost lost his grip on the steering wheel in fright.

    “He’s on the left side of the car!” Jungle Wolf roared, and the van decisively squeezed to the left.

    “This guy is trouble, get the guns!”

    Wang Qianqian, who had been in despair inside the vehicle, suddenly heard the men’s shouting and felt a surge of hope.

    Could it be Li Chen?

    She felt hope unexpectedly rising in her heart because she believed in Li Chen; he always brought her miracles.

    Jungle Wolf was also driving at high speed.

    His right hand drew a silenced pistol and aimed at the glass beside him, looking at Li Chen, whose face was cold as he looked back, and Jungle Wolf pulled the trigger.

    “Pop”

    The glass shattered, but suddenly, the figure of Li Chen was nowhere to be seen.

    Jungle Wolf felt a wave of confusion–had he hit his target?

    It should be impossible for him to miss, but the opponent was too elusive, sending chills through his heart.

    He felt like he had missed, but where was the other person?

    “Be on your guard!” Jungle Wolf yelled.

    “He’s on top!” shouted one of the men in black loudly.

    “Kill him!”

    Another man in black took out an AK47, aimed at the roof, and pulled the trigger.

    Suddenly, intense gunfire echoed inside the vehicle.

    “Ah!” Wang Qianqian covered her ears and cried out loudly.

    The entire roof of the van seemed to have been penetrated, yet no sound came from the attackers.

    The few men couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, and just as they sensed something was amiss, the glass on the right side suddenly shattered under the force of a kick, sending shards flying into the vehicle.

    Those ready to pull their triggers immediately covered their eyes with their hands.

    Jungle Wolf immediately aimed his pistol to the right, but Li Chen was not there.

    Instead, the men felt the roof of the vehicle sink suddenly, and they quickly pointed their guns upward, but through the bullet holes made earlier, they could only catch a glimpse of a shadow flashing by.

    “Snap”

    The window broke again, and with it came a fist heavy as a mountain!

    Jungle Wolf had just turned his head when that fist harshly smashed into his neck!

    Crack!

    A crisp sound rang out, Jungle Wolf’s eyes bulged unbelievably, and his neck bent limply, fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

    With one punch, Jungle Wolf was dead!

    The other men in black immediately aimed their guns at the glass and furiously pulled their triggers, but Li Chen’s figure had disappeared again.

    The hearts of the men in black were filled with cold dread, “Old Eagle, you drive!

    Fast!”

    The now-deceased Jungle Wolf was still in the driver’s seat, and under his control, the van was hurtling straight towards the street beside it.

    Old Eagle, in the passenger seat, hurriedly pulled Jungle Wolf’s foot away and then jerked the steering wheel, bringing the van back onto the road.

    By this time, the van’s door glass shattered again, causing the men inside to tremble.

    As they were about to point their guns in that direction, a figure suddenly dove through the window and with a kick, immediately struck the wrists of two men in black, causing their guns to point upwards.

    The men in black inside the van were startled, and just as the rest were about to fire, they saw Li Chen agilely grab a man in front of him while in his right hand, he flicked several Silver Needles, piercing the wrists of the others, causing them pain and leaving them powerless to squeeze the trigger.

    “Li Chen!” Wang Qianqian shouted out in surprise, her rescuer had indeed come after her.

    Old Eagle, who was at the driving position, was also shocked.

    Li Chen ignored him and with a twist of his wrists, he broke the right hand of the man he was holding, then he put his foot down, and the van door was flung open!

    “Ah!” Screams of pain rang out as Li Chen grabbed the man and threw him out of the moving vehicle!

    A Mercedes following right behind the van suddenly saw a body fall from the opposing vehicle and frantically tried to swerve to avoid it, but it was too late.

    The man in black was rolled over by the tires, and in an instant, his blood was splattered, his body torn apart.

    Inside the van, the remaining men in black were also shocked, and they immediately attacked Li Chen with punches and kicks.

    Li Chen remained unfazed; with his left hand, he caught a man’s fist and yanked it towards the rear, pulling him out of the van.

    In desperation, the man tried to grip the lower part of the van, but Li Chen simply stomped down hard, and the sound of bones shattering was heard.

    In pain, the man let go and fell out of the vehicle.

    Li Chen hit the remaining men in black with a fist to their necks, a palm to another’s chest, and a kick on one’s knee, rendering all of them useless inside the van.

    Even Old Eagle, who remained intact, felt deeply shaken by how terrifying this man was.

    Just as he had taken the silencer pistol from Jungle Wolf’s hands, Li Chen had already turned his gaze towards him.

    Confronted with Li Chen’s icy stare, Old Eagle swallowed.

    Without another word, Li Chen kicked out.

    The kick, full of rage, struck Old Eagle hard, making him feel as though a sledgehammer had hit him.

    He was thrown against the window along with the already dead Jungle Wolf, and the window couldn’t withstand such a tremendous force, breaking open as both bodies flew out of the van!

    In just one kick, he sent the men flying out of the van?!

    The remaining men in black eyed him with intense fear, this man before them was no human!

    “Li Chen!” Wang Qianqian threw herself into Li Chen’s arms, and he comforted her softly before bringing the van to a stop.

    The men in black in the van were all beaten down by Li Chen, their combat power severely reduced, and they knew if they dared to reach for their weapons, Li Chen was confident he could disable them in an instant.

    The three men in black exchanged glances, their looks of panic replaced with determination in an instant.

    Suddenly, one charged at Li Chen head-on, while the other two followed close behind, even pulling out shiny military daggers!

    The first man, reckless of his own life, aimed to hold Li Chen down with his death, making it possible for his two companions to stab their daggers into Li Chen’s body.

    But was Li Chen going to let him have his way?

    With a fierce kick, the charging man was hit and kicked into the air, slamming into the hood of the van and leaving a human-shaped dent in the roof.

    By the time he fell down, he was already dead.

    For the two advancing men, Li Chen’s hands moved like lightning, simultaneously seizing their arms and with a twist, their arms holding the daggers snapped!

    Screams of agony filled the van as Li Chen pushed them back, lying breathless on the floor.

    “Dare to snatch someone before me, King of the Netherworld?” Li Chen said indifferently.
