    65: Chapter 56: Do You Know the Fate of a Traitor?

    After doing all this, Li Chen was planning to return to the villa, but just as he stepped out of the hospital, he received a phone call.

    “Master, I have arrived in Linchuan.”

    “Hmm, very good, go wait for me at the abandoned factory in the old district of Linchuan.”

    “Yes, Master.”

    Has it finally come?

    A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.

    It seems it has finally come.

    Can everything be revealed now?

    The old district of Linchuan was basically deserted and quite close to the suburbs.

    If anything happened, it wouldn’t be known by others for some time.

    Li Chen chose this place precisely for that reason.

    Shadow, will you still be the Shadow of the past?

    I hope you won’t disappoint me.

    A trace of cold light flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

    Thereafter, Li Chen also headed towards the old district.

    Before long, Li Chen arrived at the old district.

    As he walked in, the abandoned factory blocked out the direct sunshine, making the surroundings have a rather chilling air.

    Shadow’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

    Li Chen stood still, slightly squinting his eyes and spoke softly, “You have arrived yet you do not greet your master?”

    Suddenly, a female voice appeared: “Yes, Master.”

    All of a sudden, a black figure appeared inside the factory.

    It was indeed the Shadow.

    “Shadow, since you have already arrived in Linchuan, you must have thoroughly investigated the matter,” Li Chen said coolly, “Tell me what you know.

    You wouldn’t disappoint me, would you?”

    “Of course, I would not disappoint you.

    My investigation shows that the Ghost King is right here in Linchuan...”

    As soon as the voice fell, a cold gleam flashed suddenly across Li Chen’s eyes, his figure shifted, followed by a bullet shooting towards his previous position.

    “Clang”

    The bullet struck scrap metal, producing a clang sound.

    “Who would have thought the master’s skills are still so sharp?” Shadow seemed unsurprised that Li Chen could dodge the attack.

    Li Chen’s expression was as cold as frost: “It seems you have indeed disappointed me.”

    Shadow’s tone lost any previous deference: “Is that so, Master?

    It seems you don’t have much strength left to punish me either.”

    “Shadow, you have followed me for so long, you should know my temperament.

    You surely understand the outcome of betraying me,” Li Chen said calmly.

    Upon hearing this, Shadow’s body shuddered slightly, but she quickly recovered to normal: “Of course I am well aware, that’s why I came fully prepared today.

    You most likely won’t be able to leave here.”

    “Is that so?

    You’ve been following me in vain all these years.” Li Chen shook his head lightly, “Are you telling me you’ve even enlisted others from the Main God Ranking?”

    “Actually, no, but I alone am enough,” another voice arose as a person walked in from outside.

    Who else could it be but the Ghost King?

    Li Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, only to see the Ghost King walk over to Shadow’s side, looking straight at him.

    “Unexpected, isn’t it?

    King of the Netherworld,” the Ghost King laughed heartily.

    “What’s there to be unexpected?” Li Chen sneered, “You indeed saved me a lot of trouble by showing up yourself.”

    “As for you, Shadow, you will soon know the fate of a betrayer,” Li Chen’s eyes turned icy.

    “King of the Netherworld, so staunch even when death is upon you.

    Not foreseeing Shadow’s betrayal must feel painful, doesn’t it?” The Ghost King reached out and squeezed Shadow’s chest, “Look, your woman is now mine, not just Shadow, but everything you own will belong to me.”

    “If I hadn’t guessed, do you think I’d have come?” Li Chen responded indifferently, his eyes untroubled.

    Since Shadow had betrayed him, she must inevitably accept his punishment.

    And this punishment was but one, to die in agony!

    The figures of the Ghost King and Shadow stiffened simultaneously, a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed in their eyes.

    Having followed the King of the Netherworld for so long, they naturally knew his fearsome methods.

    “Stop talking, today is the day you die!” Ghost King growled fiercely.

    “Then, let me see how much you’ve improved!” A cold light flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

    Suddenly, he moved swiftly toward the Ghost King.

    The terrifying killing intent coming toward him made both the Ghost King and Shadow feel as though breathing became difficult.

    Ghost King and Shadow, without any hesitation, joined forces to battle against Li Chen.

    Seeing the two attack, Li Chen’s murderous intent intensified, and he struck with his palm, carrying turbulent True Qi!

    Under Li Chen’s strike, the attacks of Ghost King and Shadow seemed unable to withstand it.

    Their combined assault did not last long under the overpowering True Qi from Li Chen.

    They were blown away!

    “Ants will always be ants!” Li Chen snorted coldly and then with a quick step, he charged straight toward the Ghost King!

    Today, both of them must die!

    Ghost King was terribly frightened.

    How could this be possible, wasn’t he seriously injured?

    How could he still be so formidable?

    Frozen with fear, yet as Li Chen approached quickly, Ghost King gritted his teeth.

    There was no turning back now, and he too charged at Li Chen.

    At the same time, a dagger appeared in his right hand, and he stabbed straight at Li Chen!

    Li Chen’s expression unchanged, in the moment of approaching, grabbed the opponent’s arm with his left hand, not only dodging the attack but also gaining control of Ghost King’s right hand, then he slapped fiercely into his chest.

    Immediately Ghost King groaned, but disregarded his own injuries and counterattacked right away.

    “Do ants fantasize about overturning the heavens?” A cold glint flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, he snatched the dagger and fiercely stabbed it into the opponent’s arm.

    Ghost King, in pain, tried to retreat but it was too late, Li Chen pursued him and relentlessly beat him down, not showing any mercy, he pounded him from the air to the ground.

    With one palm strike, Ghost King’s body was sent flying and crashed against an iron frame, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.

    But at that moment, Li Chen suddenly turned sideways and punched directly behind himself, hitting the just approaching Shadow and sending her flying again.

    “Only such ants dare to rebel against me?” Li Chen’s tone was filled with disdain.

    “Ha ha, the King of the Netherworld truly is the King of the Netherworld, but today, I, the Ghost King, can still make you disappear from this world, believe it or not?” Ghost King laughed boldly, showing no fear at all.

    Li Chen frowned slightly, thinking the Ghost King must have gone mad to talk big even when close to death.

    “I have to say, your strength is indeed terrifying,” huffed Ghost King, “I indeed underestimated you, but you also underestimated me.”

    “I don’t need to take a mere ant seriously,” Li Chen said indifferently.

    “Shadow, though I don’t know why you chose to betray me, I believe that since you’ve made this choice, you must also bear the consequences of this choice,” Li Chen turned toward the Shadow laying on the ground.

    At the same moment, with a swift flick of Li Chen’s right hand, the dagger flew directly toward the seriously injured Ghost King lying on the ground, and instantly, the dagger pierced through Ghost King’s throat!

    A generation’s Ghost King thus died at the hands of the King of the Netherworld!

    Li Chen turned his head, looking at Shadow, “So, are you ready to face the consequences of being a traitor?”

    Shadow’s eyes filled with fear, how could this happen, she wondered in disbelief.

    Together with Ghost King, they couldn’t even withstand one of Li Chen’s moves, how could he be so terrifying?

    Recalling Li Chen’s previous actions, Shadow shuddered with fear, the title King of the Netherworld, controlling life and death, and now, her life, undoubtedly, was in Li Chen’s hands!

    Li Chen’s expression was cold and emotionless, he looked coldly at Shadow, and then walked toward her.

    “You have disappointed me greatly.” Li Chen spoke quietly.

    If she had chosen to rely on him today, he naturally would have let bygones be bygones.

    Shadow didn’t speak, but suddenly, she turned and dashed toward the outside!

    Li Chen’s feet pressed the ground, his movement sharp like lightning, but in that moment.

    Shadow threw a small capsule behind her.

    Seeing that capsule, Li Chen’s pupils constricted and he immediately stopped his charge, dashing out of the deserted factory.

    Instantaneously, a “boom” resounded as the entire factory was devoured by towering flames, the miniature capsule’s explosion being so terrifying.

    Without hesitation, Li Chen immediately chased in the direction of Shadow.

    Traitors must suffer the consequences of their betrayal!

    Li Chen moved swiftly through the deserted area.

    As Shadow’s figure appeared ahead, suddenly, a dagger flew from the side!

    Li Chen flipped in mid-air, dodging the dagger, and landed back on the ground, his faced changed upon seeing the person who suddenly appeared!

    What’s going on!

    The person who had unexpectedly made the attack was none other than Ghost King!
