CHAPTER 1457: CHAPTER 1428: THE LONG ROAD OF THE MARTIAL ARTIST

Guang Liancheng’s cultivation was actually not weak, considering his cultivation level, he was already fully qualified to join the Xuanlian Commerce Chamber.

After all, he possessed cultivation at the Envy Heaven realm mid-stage.

Compared to Li Chen, in terms of cultivation level, they were the same.

But unfortunately, whether it was combat skills, techniques, or the intensity of True Yuan, they were not on the same level.

Hence, Li Chen almost effortlessly killed him.

If it had been half a year ago, Li Chen might have needed to expend some effort to deal with this guy, revealing a few hidden cards, but now, it’s completely unnecessary.

Not to mention he was wielding Red Moon in his hand, even if he were holding a Broken Iron Blade, Li Chen was confident he could easily slash the guy in front of him to death.

Thus, Guang Liancheng died quickly, died without the slightest value.

After killing Guang Liancheng, Li Chen felt no ripples in his heart, although this guy was a minor character, Li Chen felt he must eliminate the roots.

He is a cautious person; without caution, he would have died a long time ago. Not to mention, now he is in the Heaven Realm full of strong people, and someone is eyeing him.

"Dealing with this Xuanlian Commerce Chamber this time should also cause some commotion, and my cultivation resources are running out. Looks like I can’t continue closing my doors here." Li Chen shook his head.

Joined the siege of Auspicious Clear Town martial artists.

With Li Chen’s ambush, a group of Envy Heaven realm martial artists almost all fell under the siege of hundreds within a short time.

Li Chen didn’t take a single ring from these people.

To be honest, he really looks down upon these Envy Heaven realm rings now, even those from the late Envy Heaven realm don’t interest him.

Because his cultivation requires such enormous consumption.

Even the large number of Spirit Crystals he obtained from madly refining pills recently wasn’t enough for his cultivation for long.

Being able to cultivate to Envy Heaven realm mid-stage within half a year, Li Chen was still greatly aided by the Spirit Vein obtained in the Enchanted World.

"Young Brother Lin, where are you going?" Hujin, after taking a pill, had recovered quite a bit, and upon seeing Li Chen about to leave again, couldn’t help but ask.

"Going to deal with the president of the Xuanlian Commerce Chamber." Li Chen said.

"Ah?" Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the people around couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

Li Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly: "Do you really think Heaven Following realm is so easy to kill? He was just trapped by me using formations, how to deal with him is still under consideration."

"Do you need us to help?" Miao Donghua asked from the side, and several others also looked at Li Chen.

This period they didn’t even go out to look for any resources, just stayed in Li Chen’s building helping him refine pills, no need to worry about cultivation resources, they were very grateful to Li Chen.

"No need, I can do it alone; now I am a third-level array master, Mystic Cave Heaven is only at the Heavenly Boundary Early Stage, with his cultivation, if he doesn’t understand formations, he can’t break through the formations I’ve set up." Li Chen shook his head.

"In that case, then Senior Brother Lin, be careful alone." Yu Ge said.

"I know." Li Chen nodded: "Actually, there’s one more thing."

"What is it?"

Li Chen hesitated for a moment before saying: "After dealing with the Xuanlian Commerce Chamber, I plan to stay in Auspicious Clear Town for a few more days before leaving."

"What?" Hearing Li Chen say he was leaving, the others were shocked.

"Young Brother Lin, where are you going?" Hujin quickly asked.

"I don’t know either." Li Chen gave a wry smile: "Anyway, it’s to find a way out, my cultivation technique is a bit special, and the consumption of cultivation resources is relatively large."

After hearing Li Chen’s words, the group couldn’t help but fall silent. They knew Li Chen’s combat power was extremely formidable, far exceeding his level, but it was clear that such combat power wasn’t acquired without cost.

Even Li Chen, as an Alchemist, said cultivation resources were not enough, so it is conceivable how terrifying the resources he needs are.

"Actually, I’m also planning to leave." Hujin suddenly smiled and said: "Because after obtaining the inheritance, I also discovered that the cultivation resources needed are far more than before, and even the inheritance states that a strong person, can’t achieve greatness just by hiding in one place and cultivating hard."

Li Chen nodded, not saying to travel together, nor did Hujin, because both knew they had different paths to walk, it was impossible to travel together.

Seeing the atmosphere around was a bit silent, Li Chen suddenly laughed and said: "Alright, let’s not make it so sentimental, everyone is a martial artist, and we aren’t parting immediately, let me first go chop off that Mystic Cave Heaven’s head and bring it back to drink with!"

"Senior Brother Lin, don’t scare people like that, who likes to drink with a head?" Ba Meng said from the side.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Chen got up and returned to the place where the formation trapped Mystic Cave Heaven.

Mystic Cave Heaven indeed didn’t understand formations; Li Chen had been gone for a fair amount of time, yet Mystic Cave Heaven had not even broken the first layer of the trapping formation, still frantically attacking.

Moreover, the killing formation was taking effect, Mystic Cave Heaven’s body was already covered with many wounds, a dignified Heaven Following realm powerhouse, yet couldn’t touch even a hair of his enemy, instead, he was covered in injuries.

Mystic Cave Heaven roared within the formation, yet had no way at all.

"This is truly like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, I even set up so many layers of formation." Li Chen muttered, the materials for these formations cost him quite a bit.

Although Mystic Cave Heaven was trapped by the formation, Li Chen didn’t set up a soundproof formation, upon hearing the sounds outside, Mystic Cave Heaven almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Is there anyone who bullies people like this?

I, a dignified Heavenly Realm powerhouse, didn’t even touch you, and you managed to make me so embarrassed. You’re still dissatisfied?

"Damn little brat, once I get out, I’ll grind your bones to dust!" Mystic Cave Heaven roared furiously, his wounds multiplying as he attacked the formation frantically with disheveled hair.

He finally broke through the First Layer Trapping Formation.

But unfortunately, there are still three layers of formations behind.

"Old bastard, weren’t you being so arrogant just now?" Li Chen sneered. As soon as Mystic Cave Heaven arrived at Auspicious Clear Town, he relied on his higher cultivation to seriously injure Hujin and then hurt Ba Meng as well. Although Li Chen arrived relatively late, he learned from the jade slip.

"Little dog, just you wait!" Mystic Cave Heaven roared angrily. As a Heaven Realm powerhouse, being made so miserable by an Envy Heaven Realm, he was indeed on the verge of madness.

"Yes, a dog like me is waiting for you. I’m going to kill you right now." Li Chen taunted, never backing down in the verbal exchange.

Without hesitation, Li Chen stepped into the formation.

Since he was the one who set up the formation, naturally, he could find the formation gate, and he arrived in front of Mystic Cave Heaven in one step.

Seeing Li Chen appear, Mystic Cave Heaven’s eyes were filled with a vicious light: "You really dare to come in, very well!"

Before the words fell, Mystic Cave Heaven struck directly.

Li Chen stepped back, Mystic Cave Heaven’s attack was blocked by the defensive formation.

"Can’t hit me." Li Chen stepped forward again.

Another surge of True Yuan came, Li Chen stepped back again.

"Still can’t hit me."

Li Chen moved forward and backward dozens of times like this, nearly driving Mystic Cave Heaven mad.

He even considered rushing out of that place, but every time Li Chen could enter and exit at will, yet he was stopped by the powers of the formation, unable to get out.

"Almost there." Feeling that Mystic Cave Heaven’s True Yuan had been consumed to a certain extent, Li Chen’s expression no longer held a playful smile, stepping inside.

However, this time, Mystic Cave Heaven didn’t even bother with Li Chen, continuing to attack the formation madly.

He knew he couldn’t touch Li Chen, and if he continued to entangle, he feared he wouldn’t be killed by the formation but rather die from sheer frustration courtesy of Li Chen.

But evidently, this time was different.

Because Li Chen struck.

A strike of fierce and domineering might.

Li Chen’s hair even changed to blood-red at this moment.

"Boom!!"

Mystic Cave Heaven blocked the strike, but he was shaken back several steps, astonished as he looked at Li Chen: "You were hiding your strength before?"

Li Chen didn’t speak, tacitly agreeing.

Indeed, he was concealing his strength.

In Auspicious Clear Town, he only exerted thirty percent of his power; the strike just now was unsheathing the sword, utilizing his full strength.

Mystic Cave Heaven’s hand was slightly numb, looking at Li Chen, his gaze growing increasingly grave.

Because he felt that the intensity of the previous strike wasn’t much different from his own.

"Old geezer, show your full strength, and then, head on your way." Li Chen said coldly.

Mystic Cave Heaven chuckled coldly: "Little brat, you really think you have me cornered? Outside the formation, I can’t do much to you, but since you dared to come in, then prepare to die!"

This time, Li Chen didn’t toy with Mystic Cave Heaven, but directly rushed to attack with his blade.

Because this person was his whetstone!

In an instant, the two engaged in a fierce, wild battle.

In the woods, only the violent booming sounds could be heard; there was not much actual upheaval, as everything was within the formation.

One was a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, and the other was merely Envy Heaven Realm.

Yet at this moment, they were locked in a fierce and evenly matched struggle.

Facing a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, even one not in his prime, Li Chen struggled immensely, realizing the huge gap between the Heavenly Realm and the previous realms.

After more than a hundred moves, Li Chen didn’t see Mystic Cave Heaven’s breath weakening, but he himself was exhausted.

Although he could constantly gain small advantages with cunning techniques, in direct confrontation, he was entirely no match for Mystic Cave Heaven.

Ultimately, Li Chen fought until he was weary and had no choice but to activate the power of the formation, using the Killing Formation to finally slay Mystic Cave Heaven.

"I didn’t expect such a significant difference between the Heavenly Realm and the Envy Heaven Realm." Li Chen sat within the formation, his expression somewhat grim.

If it weren’t for successfully cultivating the First Layer of the Eternal Indestructible Body, he would have been killed by Mystic Cave Heaven several times earlier!

"Seems like, the path of a Martial Artist is still a long journey." In Li Chen’s eyes, flames blazed anew.
