CHAPTER 1493: CHAPTER 1464: HUNTING DOWN OLD FACE

The old-faced man’s face looked extremely grim; indeed, Li Chen’s strike had hit him.

Although it wasn’t enough to kill him instantly, without a doubt, he was seriously injured.

"Damn it, what kind of power is this?"

In the old-faced man’s eyes, even if Li Chen had good strength and could hurt him, with his level of cultivation, he shouldn’t have been so severely wounded. To put it simply, from the start, he hadn’t taken Li Chen very seriously.

But now, he was heavily injured by Li Chen.

And strangely enough, the wound even prevented him from recovering.

The old-faced man was now completely enveloped by the Ice Spirit Coffin, but bizarrely, regardless of whether he used True Yuan to heal or took a pill, he could not restore his injuries even a little.

They were actually worsening continuously.

The old-faced man had cultivated for so many years but had never encountered such a peculiar power.

If the person who attacked had been someone from a Higher Heaven Realm, or even a Heavenly King, he might have accepted it. But the person who seriously injured him was just a mere Envy Heaven Realm martial artist, which made him feel humiliated.

"He’s trapped now, unable to restore his cultivation, but my Ice Seal also has a time limit. If there’s no special method, I think we won’t get far before he catches up again," Li Youxue quickly said behind Li Chen.

"I know." Li Chen nodded, his gaze still locked onto the old-faced man.

Behind Li Chen, Li Youxue’s gaze was also somewhat complicated.

She saw the wound on the old-faced man, and she believed Li Chen could hurt him, but she never imagined that Li Chen’s attack power could reach such a terrifying level.

The terrifying wound on the old-faced man’s body was in her sight; such an injury, even the old-faced man couldn’t ignore it, could he?

Moreover, the old-faced man was trapped in the Spirit Coffin, and his injuries showed no sign of improvement, which further puzzled Li Youxue.

Why doesn’t he heal his injuries?

The Spirit Coffin separated them, logically the old-faced man should be using this opportunity to heal his injuries.

What Li Youxue didn’t know was that it wasn’t that the old-faced man didn’t want to heal his injuries; he simply couldn’t.

"Do you have a way to actively dispel this Ice Seal Spirit Coffin?" Li Chen suddenly turned his head and asked Li Youxue.

"I can." Li Youxue said, but a hint of hesitation appeared on her face; they were already in a hurry to escape, so why dissolve the Spirit Coffin?

Right now, her True Yuan was sufficiently depleted; if she let the old-faced man out, she feared both of them would be in trouble.

"Open it." Li Chen said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Li Youxue showed a surprised expression, but after hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and began to form a seal, preparing to open the Spirit Coffin.

She chose to trust Li Chen, because if it weren’t for this man, she wouldn’t have escaped here in the first place.

After all, this man had no reason to harm her.

Soon, in Li Chen’s eyes, the massive Spirit Coffin made of ice began to slowly melt away.

Li Chen’s arm uncontrollably started to tremble slightly, and the aura of the Law of Destruction gathered once again.

This sword wasn’t something Li Chen could easily unleash.

Previously, Li Chen had only used it as a pure sword technique, and there was only a trace of the Power of Laws inherent in Wordless’s blade light.

But when the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror revealed the true method of using the Law of Destruction, Li Chen’s sword underwent earth-shattering changes.

Yet, similarly, the cost to Li Chen became more terrifying.

Just a single type of Power of Laws actually consumed more than the combined release of the Five Elements Rule!

This showed just how terrifying the Law of Destruction was.

But what comforted Li Chen was that the consumption of this technique wasn’t as excessive as Endless Wind Turmoil, not enough to completely drain him in one go.

Li Chen calculated his situation; in his full strength, with his current cultivation, he should be able to strike three times.

Nonetheless, unless he was desperate, he couldn’t afford to drain his True Yuan all at once.

In other words, he could only use it twice.

And just now, he had already used it once.

"I only have one more chance." Looking at the slowly melting Spirit Coffin, Li Chen’s face was neither joyful nor sorrowful, but he was very clear: the next strike, if it didn’t kill the old-faced man, he’d have to run away.

As if understanding Li Chen’s thoughts, the old-faced man, seeing the Spirit Coffin dissolve, showed no joy but rather a sense of panic.

From that slash, he understood Li Chen’s prowess; had it been before, he wouldn’t have dared to chase the two.

But now that he was severely injured, obviously, Li Chen was not planning to let him go.

"Damn it! In my current state, I’m afraid I’d struggle even against Li Youxue, let alone this freak of an Envy Heaven Realm martial artist!" The old-faced man’s yellow face turned pale with fright.

The destructive law-induced wound on his body continued to worsen, and without a better pill’s aid, he was destined to die from the worsening injury.

But evidently, Li Chen didn’t intend to give him the chance for his injury to deteriorate.

"Why won’t you just leave?! Why must you kill me?!" The old-faced man roared internally.

As a crack formed in the Ice Coffin, the old-faced man’s body turned into a shadow, leaping out and darting towards Lan Yue City.

"Trying to run?" Li Chen squinted his eyes slightly.

The sound of wind and thunder roared at Li Chen’s feet, and in the blink of an eye, Li Chen had caught up to the frantically fleeing old-faced man.

Li Youxue, trailing behind, was full of confusion, her mouth slightly open, seemingly unable to comprehend why the old-faced man was fleeing.

Despite his severe injury, after all, he was a Late Stage Expert of the Heaven Following Realm, dealing with the two heavily depleted low-level martial artists shouldn’t have been difficult, right?

She couldn’t fathom how terrifying Li Chen appeared in the old-faced man’s eyes at that moment.

"Whoosh—"

Seeing Li Chen catching up, the old-faced man, in a burst of sudden insight, soared into the sky.

He finally remembered, this terrifying young man only had Envy Heaven Realm cultivation, and without reaching the Heaven Following Realm, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t fly.

"Running upwards?"

The corner of Li Chen’s mouth twisted into a sinister curve full of killing intent, as his right foot suddenly stomped the ground.

"Boom!!"

In the next instant, Li Chen’s entire being shot up into the sky like a cannonball.

The old-faced man, seeing this, was so frightened that he hurriedly flew higher.

"Hmph! No matter how high you jump, there’s a limit—you can’t catch up... what?!"

Li Chen vanished; as he was about to reach him, the old-faced man found that Li Chen had suddenly disappeared.

"I said, I will slaughter you!" A cold voice rang from above the old-faced man.

Before the old-faced man could speak, a force filled with destructive aura suddenly burst forth on him.
