Capítulo 1494: Chapter 1465: Bloodline-Connected Family

Until his death, the old-faced man could not understand why a mere Envy Heaven Realm possessed such terrifying power.

But he no longer had time to figure out this question.

Li Chen waved his hand and directly snatched away the old-faced man’s ring, falling to the ground along with the old-faced man’s corpse.

“Bang!”

His legs landed steadily on the ground with a loud noise; indeed, he had flown a bit too high just now.

With the terrifying physical strength of his Silver Body Realm leaping with full force and forcibly using Spatial Movement in mid-air to catch up to the old-faced man, this fall straight down left his legs numb.

“I should have eased up, but I had to show off. I was really stupid…” Li Chen cursed at himself, shook his legs, and walked out of the ground he had stomped down into, heading towards Li Youxue.

“You… you killed him?”

Even witnessing it, Li Youxue was still somewhat incredulous.

This person was only at the Envy Heaven Realm, yet he was able to kill a late-stage Heaven Following Realm expert; even with her restraints and assistance, this should have been nearly impossible, right?

But on him, it was done effortlessly.

This guy, what kind of monster is he?

If it was an ordinary Envy Heaven Realm, as long as a late-stage Heaven Following Realm expert deployed defense, even standing there wouldn’t let him injure them, right?

“Otherwise?” Li Chen grinned, just about to speak when his face suddenly turned pale.

“Fool, do you think the Law of Destruction, like other laws, can be used casually?” The voice of the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror rang in Li Chen’s mind.

“The Law of Destruction represents great destruction and annihilation. If your strength is insufficient, even you yourself will be eroded.”

Li Chen operated his cultivation technique for Inner Vision, and sure enough, a cloud of black qi was circling his dantian for no apparent reason.

As Li Chen’s face turned unsightly, something inside his body suddenly moved.

“Whoosh——”

A pitch-black bead suddenly shot out, and with a sharp inhale, the cloud of black qi disappeared without a trace.

The voice of the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror came with envy: “I almost forgot, you still have the Heavenly Dao Pearl, you lucky guy.”

Li Chen’s heart slightly relaxed; it turned out the Heavenly Dao Pearl could even absorb such power.

If using the Law of Destruction truly would destroy himself, then Li Chen’s trump card would be rendered useless.

“Let’s go quickly, or they’ll catch up again later.” Li Chen didn’t hesitate and hurriedly spoke to Li Youxue.

“Okay.” Li Youxue nodded, understanding that her situation was extremely dangerous without Heavenly King Qingyue.

“Leave? Can you escape?” Before they could move, an indifferent voice exploded from the sky.

Li Chen’s breathing halted.

Pressure! This is the pressure of a powerhouse!

Although not as exaggerated as Leng Yi Heavenly King, the person coming was definitely formidable, perhaps even stronger than the old-faced man!

“Higher Heaven Realm.” Li Chen spat out the three words coldly.

Li Youxue’s face also turned bloodless at this moment.

One old-faced man had already pushed them to their limits; the Higher Heaven Realm was simply not something they could deal with now.

“This guy’s strength might even surpass Daai Yan!” Li Chen looked at the tiny figure rapidly approaching in the distance, his face grim.

One old-faced man had nearly depleted his True Yuan; with another Higher Heaven Realm, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t handle it. Because the Higher Heaven Realm is already considered King Rank. Not to mention his mere Envy Heaven Realm Perfection, even if he broke through to the Heaven Following Realm, I’m afraid he’d still struggle against this guy.

“I guess I have to use that…” Li Chen sighed inwardly.

“What…do we do?” Li Youxue was also panicking now, no longer maintaining her previous composure, akin to a helpless little girl, looking at Li Chen.

“Perhaps this version of her is her true self.” Li Chen’s heart felt slightly strange.

He knew what Li Youxue had gone through; originally having a father in the Position of a Heavenly King, strong beyond belief, with nothing to worry about. But suddenly one day, it was heard that this mighty father was seriously injured and disappeared.

Despite her maturity, she was only a twenty-year-old girl; that cold exterior was merely a facade to prevent others from seeing her inner vulnerability.

Li Chen shook his head slightly; Li Youxue was different from him. Li Chen grew up through hardship, training desperately every day in a desolate world. Once grown up, he ventured out alone, gradually rising through life and death struggles.

It wasn’t until after he turned twenty that the desolate world gradually recovered its Spiritual Energy, giving him the real opportunity to enter the ranks of Martial Artists.

Li Chen managed to advance to where he was now, enduring countless hardships, dragging himself back from the brink of death innumerable times, known only to himself.

Such feelings, for him, had long been numb.

Looking at Li Youxue, Li Chen seemed to completely forget about the rapidly approaching Higher Heaven Realm powerhouse behind him. Unconsciously, he reached out his hand and gently patted Li Youxue’s head, showing a warm smile: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you get hurt.”

Maybe seeing Li Changcun didn’t make Li Chen overly affectionate, but Li Youxue in his eyes had, imperceptibly, been regarded as his own sister.

If before contacting Li Youxue he only had seventy to eighty percent certainty, now he was almost fully sure.

Perhaps because early on, Li Chen obtained the Blood of Heaven, later acquiring Red Moon, making him increasingly sensitive to the power of blood.

When approaching Li Youxue, he could clearly sense his bloodline’s slight agitation.

This is… the feeling of a connected bloodline.

Li Youxue suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

She didn’t know who Li Chen was, nor why he was helping her, but she could see unadulterated closeness in Li Chen’s eyes.

“Stay!” The authoritative voice came; at this moment, the Higher Heaven Realm expert had already approached closely.

Originally intending to stay in Lan Yue City to hold back the city lord, wasn’t expecting an incident here. With his strength, it took considerable time to rush over, but he was confident that since he had intervened, these two would definitely not escape.

“Stay? Just you?” Li Chen turned his head, showing a hint of disdain on his face.

Suddenly, Li Chen extended his arm, directly embracing the still somewhat dazed Li Youxue.

A pair of faintly glowing boots suddenly appeared on Li Chen’s feet.

“Five Elements Boots, consider yourself owed a favor, get us out of here!”

“Sizzle…” A faint light flickered for a moment, and Li Chen and Li Youxue vanished from the spot simultaneously.

“Hmm?” The face of the approaching Higher Heaven Realm powerhouse changed, instinctively spreading his Divine Sense.

However, when his Divine Sense reached its limit, still failing to locate any signs of Li Chen and Li Youxue, he couldn’t help but let out a terrifying howl toward the sky.
