CHAPTER 1470: CHAPTER 1441: TOO WEAK

The group quickly left Heisha Ridge.

Just outside, they saw three people fiercely battling in the sky.

What made the group’s faces turn grim was that, even with two against one, the Big Leader and Second Leader were clearly at a disadvantage, seemingly being pressed hard by Daai Yan.

This scene made everyone gasp in shock while gritting their teeth.

"You two are no match for me," Daai Yan said coldly. "Since you refuse to hand over the person, you shall die here together."

"Want us dead?" the Big Leader replied coldly. "Many have said that to us, but until now, we’re still alive and well."

"Is that so?" Daai Yan replied indifferently. "However, after today, you won’t be living well anymore. You’ve obstructed my affairs, so even this Heisha Ridge will be uprooted, leaving no one behind!"

Daai Yan’s voice carried a faint killing intent, clearly not joking, but truly intending to annihilate Heisha Ridge!

"Oh? A few more ants have come out," Daai Yan lowered his head slightly, glanced at the group rushing out from the entrance, and waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Stop!!" the Second Leader shouted loudly, attacking Daai Yan frantically.

However, the wave still went out.

At this moment, Li Chen felt a tingle on his scalp, a wave of mortal danger sweeping over him.

This was his first time witnessing a full-strength attack from a Late Stage Heavenly Realm powerhouse, utterly unrestrained.

"Run!!"

Li Chen roared furiously, then immediately fled to the distance.

He had no time to care for others, aware that if he lingered, he would likely die as well.

The Wind and Thunder Law enveloped his legs, yet Li Chen still felt it was insufficient.

"Darkness Law, Shadow Escape!"

Under the overlay of three attribute laws, Li Chen fled at an astonishing speed.

It’s not that he didn’t want to use Space Law to escape directly.

But as Daai Yan’s attack fell, even the surrounding space began to shake, making it impossible for him to use Space Law.

As Li Chen escaped, an enormous hand emerged abruptly from the ground where the group had stood moments before, then clenched fiercely!

"Monkey!"

"Da Niu!"

The fleeing group turned their heads sharply, seeing that scene, their eyes reddened immediately.

In the end, some were too slow and under that stone giant hand, were crushed into a mist of blood, no matter how strong their defenses.

"Some actually got away?" Daai Yan frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Beast!!" the Big Leader was enraged, also attacking Daai Yan furiously.

"We’ll fight him!!" Qin Qiang and the group were enraged, those were brothers they grew up with, trained with, for a hundred years!

"Calm down!" Li Chen shouted.

"Calm down? How can we be calm? Those were our brothers, sharing meals, wearing the same pants, using the same spirit crystal to train, living a hundred years together!" Qin Qiang shouted, eyes red.

Li Chen’s expression was as cold as millennium-old profound ice: "If you rush there now, will it be anything other than suicide and worrying the Big Leader and Second Leader? Plus, their fight is in the air, you’re a Heavenly Realm Powerhouse, can you control the air?"

"I..." Qin Qiang’s forehead veins throbbed, showing he was at his limits of rage, and ultimately he pounded the ground hard with his fist.

They all knew, Li Chen spoke the truth, they were of no help.

Never, never had they hated their low cultivation so much.

Although they’ve lost many before, those were fallen in battle.

But like today, being crushed like ants, made them feel deep humiliation.

"Let’s go, I’ve already transmitted to the Big Leader and Second Leader, let’s go to where I’ve set up a formation, help me strengthen the formation, then trap that old dog, we’ll deal with him slowly," Li Chen said coldly.

Is Li Chen not angry?

He’s angry too!

Over the past year, he’s gotten along well with everyone, he could name every one of those crushed today.

Just yesterday, those people were shamelessly calling him ’Teacher Lin’, hoping to get more pills to speed up their cultivation. But now, they’ve become mere blood stains, not even leaving bodies behind.

The fury in Li Chen’s heart had reached its peak.

But he also knew clearly, that they weren’t a match for Daai Yan.

The more the situation, the calmer Li Chen became.

The only constant, was Li Chen’s killing intent.

If he had no strong feelings towards Daai Yan before, nor strong killing intent, now, he must kill Daai Yan.

Even if Daai Yan didn’t come for him, Li Chen would proactively find a way to kill him!

It’s a matter of life and death!

The trap Li Chen set up wasn’t far from Heisha Ridge, just about ten miles, for Heaven-level Martial Artists, it was a matter of moments.

"In this valley, I’ll go down to strengthen the formation now, you protect me, once the formation is ready, lure that old dog here, I want to play with him slowly," Li Chen’s face showed a trace of ruthless killing intent.

Seeing Li Chen’s face, even Qin Qiang and the others were startled.

It was their first time seeing such an expression on Li Chen.

In their impression, Li Chen, though mischievous with plenty of tricks, was fundamentally kind to everyone, more like a boy-next-door, which is why they were drawn to him.

But this time, they saw an unusual side of Li Chen.

Qin Qiang accompanied Li Chen into the valley where Li Chen threw a large pile of materials to the ground.

"When I say something, just do as I say, a Fourth-level Grand Formation, with my current strength, it will be quite strenuous, so I’ll need someone’s help," Li Chen said.

"Okay!" Qin Qiang nodded resolutely, eager to do something, anything, or he’d really go crazy.

"By the way, Lin Chen, why is that old bastard chasing you?" Qin Qiang suddenly asked, recalling something.

"I killed his disciple," Li Chen said calmly.

"Then why did you..."

"You want to ask why I’m so calm, right?" Li Chen’s hands didn’t stop as he looked at Qin Qiang.

Qin Qiang nodded.

"I’ve seen death," Li Chen’s eyes were somewhat indifferent. "People around me, enemy alike. Also, I’ve killed."

"Reaching our cultivation level, who’s not..."

"Many," Li Chen’s indifferent tone carried a hint of bitterness. "I’ve killed many people, similarly, many around me have died, all because... I’m too weak. I understand this feeling."
