CHAPTER 1455: CHAPTER 1426: LI CHEN’S COUNTERATTACK

"I say, Old Turtle, are you moving so slow because you’re crawling?"

"Old Bugger, I’m right here, come and hit me!"

Li Chen taunted mercilessly while sprinting.

Although running on foot wasn’t as fast as flying spirit artifacts, it was much more nimble, allowing him to dodge multiple attacks from Mystic Cave Heaven from behind.

Despite the reckless taunting, Li Chen maintained calmness in his heart.

This was just to lure the enemy. Before confronting a Heaven Following Realm powerhouse, Li Chen couldn’t ascertain his current strength, but upon seeing the momentum of Mystic Cave Heaven, he understood that he was still no match for a Heaven Following Realm powerhouse.

And in Auspicious Clear Town, let alone whether he could defeat Mystic Cave Heaven, there were so many comrades by his side. Even if he could defeat Mystic Cave Heaven, amidst the siege of so many Envy Heaven Realm powerhouses, he stood no chance.

He never considered relying on other loose cultivators for help.

Because they were uncertain factors, Li Chen couldn’t factor them in.

Moreover, others weren’t him; Mystic Cave Heaven might easily wipe out many lives with just a glance.

Thus, to defeat Mystic Cave Heaven, he could only follow the plan.

Before returning to Auspicious Clear Town, Li Chen had contemplated on his path for a long time.

Upon seeing Mystic Cave Heaven, Li Chen immediately settled on his plan.

"Little brat, quite slippery indeed, making me chase for so long." Mystic Cave Heaven finally blocked Li Chen, while sealing the space around him with True Yuan, leaving him no chance to escape.

"Enough, you’re only getting this far." Mystic Cave Heaven spoke coldly, "Hand over the items on you, including that cultivation technique."

Li Chen seemed powerless to resist, looking at Mystic Cave Heaven and shrugged, "Are you so confident you can kill me?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Mystic Cave Heaven faintly sensed something amiss but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"Little brat, I admit you have some skill, young as you are, you possess Envy Heaven Realm cultivation. You might become stronger than me in the future, and I’ve heard you’re an alchemist too? If it were the past, I might have considered recruiting you into Xuanlian Commerce Chamber, but now, you’d better obediently go to your death."

Mystic Cave Heaven couldn’t trace the strange feeling’s origin, so he decided not to hesitate and intended to kill Li Chen immediately.

With a wave of his hand, a terrifying power gathered in front of him.

This was Heaven Following Realm’s power; those below Heaven Following Realm couldn’t resist such a violent True Yuan, even if they were late-stage Envy Heaven Realm beings, they would only face obliteration.

Yet, Li Chen’s expression remained composed.

"You know I’m an alchemist, so you could also guess I’m an array master, right?" Li Chen calmly stated.

"Hmm?" Mystic Cave Heaven finally grasped what was wrong. If Li Chen was an array master, then he might have intentionally angered him, luring him to this place...

Thinking this, Mystic Cave Heaven’s attack accelerated, the violent True Yuan pressed down upon Li Chen.

Li Chen’s expression changed, swiftly retreating two steps, a rift appeared behind him, and he directly escaped using the power of space, simultaneously forming a hand seal and issuing a low shout.

"Rise!"

"Boom!"

The attack landed on the empty ground, simultaneously, an abrupt mist appeared around Mystic Cave Heaven.

"Damn it, there’s really an array!"

Feeling the surrounding aura, Mystic Cave Heaven sensed something was wrong and began frantically attacking around. Yet, these attacks seemed to sink into cotton, after the initial blow, there wasn’t even the slightest sound.

"Above third-level array?" Mystic Cave Heaven’s expression darkened; he wasn’t an array master, but he knew that to trap him, it couldn’t be a second-level array.

"It’s merely a trapping formation, limited in power, I just need to attack forcefully to break it." Biting down, Mystic Cave Heaven started his fierce assault.

However, he was unaware outside the array, Li Chen quickly stepped back several paces, continuously forming hand seals.

"Rise!"

"Rise!"

"Rise!"

Watching Mystic Cave Heaven, completely overwhelmed by the array and his figure obscured, a cold smile curled on Li Chen’s lips.

Here, Li Chen had set up two trapping formations, a killing formation, plus a defensive array, all third-level formations, requiring immense effort from Li Chen to complete. Even if Mystic Cave Heaven was a Heaven Following Realm powerhouse, it was impossible to break through in a short time.

"This old guy isn’t easy to deal with; solve the others first before dealing with him." Li Chen murmured.

He couldn’t handle Mystic Cave Heaven, but these formations could.

Li Chen had long anticipated certain people might seek revenge, this place was prepared not only for Mystic Cave Heaven but also in case of Houmeng’s master appearing, just that Mystic Cave Heaven came first.

"First, wear you out a while, tackle the others then settle you." Glancing at Mystic Cave Heaven completely shrouded by formations, Li Chen turned and swiftly headed towards Auspicious Clear Town.

The combined formations, Li Chen was confident they could trap even late-stage Heaven Following Realm beings for a time, let alone Mystic Cave Heaven, an early-stage Heaven Following Realm being.

When Li Chen appeared, almost everyone displayed a look of disbelief.

Li Chen was just an Envy Heaven Realm being; though loose cultivators found his cultivation speed astonishing, no one believed Li Chen would be a match for Mystic Cave Heaven.

When Mystic Cave Heaven chased out, the loose cultivators sighed, feeling Li Chen wasn’t coming back.

But unexpected to them, Mystic Cave Heaven didn’t return, but Li Chen actually did.

Not just the loose cultivators; even the martial artists of Xuanlian Commerce Chamber wore expressions of disbelief.

"Surprised?" Li Chen glanced at a group of martial artists from Xuanlian Commerce Chamber, a quirky smile on his face, "Stop waiting, your President isn’t coming back."

"What did you do?" A martial artist from Xuanlian Commerce Chamber glared at Li Chen and shouted fiercely.

"Impossible!" Guang Liancheng’s face was filled with disbelief, "You... How could you? How could you come back? Where’s Mystic Cave Heaven?"

The martial artists of Xuanlian Commerce Chamber had started forcibly collecting some ’protection fees’ in Auspicious Clear Town. Seeing Li Chen’s appearance, each one wore a look of disbelief, even stopping their extortion.

"Him?" Li Chen flicked his hand, the Red Moon appeared in his grasp, simultaneously his pupils turned blood red, "When you’re down there, you’ll know where he is."

"Nonsense! How could you be a match for President Mystic!" a martial artist from Xuanlian Commerce Chamber shouted loudly.

"Whether I’m talking nonsense, you’ll know soon." Li Chen lifted the Red Moon and promptly charged at Guang Liancheng.

If the people from Xuanlian Commerce Chamber were shameless, then this guy truly deserved to die!
