Chapter 1462: Attack of the Old Face

Sprinting wildly, Li Chen remained silent the entire way. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk to Li Youxue, but rather he truly wasn’t in the mood to speak right now.

This trouble indeed was not small. Even if they could successfully escape Lan Yue City, whether they could truly get away was still a question.

In Li Chen’s hand, he actually held a trump card, but unless it was the last crucial moment, he didn’t want to reveal it.

A trump card only shows its value when used at the most critical moment; if used prematurely, it loses its essence.

Behind Li Chen, Li Youxue’s gaze grew even more complex.

That astonishing scene just now, she witnessed it with her own eyes.

If she hadn’t seen it herself, she could hardly believe that someone in the Envy Heaven Realm could be that powerful.

To kill another of the same Envy Heaven Realm level was as easy as slaughtering dogs for him.

Moreover, in that group, there were several Heaven Following Realm presences, yet he trapped them effortlessly, and they couldn’t break free.

Why did such a person appear to save her?

“The group just now should have been the last blockade near the east of the city.” Li Youxue said softly behind Li Chen. “Even they wouldn’t dare to act too recklessly within Lan Yue City; after all, the dignity of Heavenly King Qingyue isn’t to be trampled upon lightly. If they sent too many people into Lan Yue City, it would violate the rules.”

Upon hearing Li Youxue’s words, Li Chen sneered: “Do they think they’re flattering Heavenly King Qingyue by acting like this in Lan Yue City?”

Li Youxue fell silent, not knowing how to respond to this.

These people dared to act in Lan Yue City, obviously because they didn’t regard Heavenly King Qingyue at all.

Or rather, the ones behind them never cared about Heavenly King Qingyue to begin with.

After all, Heavenly King Qingyue is not Mad Heavenly King; with his strength, it’s impossible to contend with those people.

“There, that’s the city gate to the east.” Li Chen’s eyes flashed as he spoke, looking towards the distance.

The cities in the Heaven Realm are vast, and Li Chen had run at least dozens of miles to get here.

Although there were blockades, in the end, he broke through layers of pursuit and surrounded them, escaping all the way to the city’s east.

Just as Munian Jiao had said, in the city’s east there was a city gate much smaller in scale than the main gate of Lan Yue City.

Li Chen transformed into a stream of light, rushing rapidly towards the city gate.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the side: “Damn creatures, you… won’t escape!”

Li Chen turned his head, his face changing color.

It was that old-faced man who had somehow pursued them here.

Judging by his direction, he had clearly taken another route to intercept them.

In almost no time, the old-faced man closed in, although he might not have been as perverse as Li Chen, but in terms of cultivation, he could completely crush Li Chen, relying on his vast True Yuan to forcibly speed up.

In the old-faced man’s hand appeared a Zen Staff that looked like amethyst.

The Zen Staff shone, and the old-faced man, wielding the Zen Staff with a violent aura, bore down on Li Chen.

“Daring to disrupt our plans, die!!” Looking at Li Chen, a sinister look appeared on the old-faced man’s face. The Zen Staff bore no air of Buddha Nature but was filled with a terrifying killing intent as it descended upon Li Chen.

Seeing that Li Chen and Li Youxue, unable to dodge in time, were about to be struck by the Zen Staff, a silver light suddenly appeared in front of Li Chen.

“Spatial Movement!”

With a step, Li Chen and Li Youxue instantly appeared several hundred meters away.

The Zen Staff struck where Li Chen had just stood, triggering a sky-rocketing dust wave.

The surrounding buildings were destroyed in an instant without resistance.

“Boom!!”

Even with the Heaven Realm’s terrifying gravity, the shattered stones and dust on the ground were blasted a hundred meters into the sky.

A number of nearby low-level Martial Artists, unable to dodge in time, were caught in the aftershock, directly wiped out.

The momentum of a Late Stage Expert of the Heaven Following Realm was unmistakably revealed.

Even Li Chen drew a cold breath.

The power of this strike was terrifying beyond compare.

Even he couldn’t imagine what would become of him if he hadn’t escaped that terrible attack.

However, it was certain that even with his Eternal Indestructible Body of the Silver Body Realm, he couldn’t have withstood it.

At least he would have been seriously injured!

“Spatial Movement, movement, movement!!”

After several moves in one go, Li Chen finally put some distance between himself and the old-faced man, and by this time, he was also nearing the small city gate.

Without even glancing at the guards at the gate, Li Chen rushed straight out.

He knew very well that these guards were of no use at all.

Even the City Lord of Lan Yue City was held back by those people, unable to intervene; what use could these ordinary City Guards be?

Just after rushing out of Lan Yue City, there was a sharp cry from behind: “Do you think you can escape just because you’ve left the city?”

Li Chen turned his head to see the old-faced man chasing after them once more.

Looking at Li Chen, the old-faced man showed a cold smile: “I tell you, if you had stayed in Lan Yue City, I might have had some concerns, but choosing to leave Lan Yue City was your most foolish decision!”

The old-faced man spoke the truth. Inside Lan Yue City, there was still the City Defense Array.

He was also afraid that the City Lord of Lan Yue City might go to all lengths to activate the City Defense Array to capture them all.

Such a City Defense Array was extremely terrifying; once fully operational, not even him, nor the one holding off the City Lord in the City Lord’s Mansion, could withstand it.

But Li Chen actually chose to leave Lan Yue City, and with no threat, the old-faced man was naturally more delighted.

In his view, Li Chen was just a minor Envy Heaven Realm individual, and although Li Youxue was quite powerful, the previous battle had exhausted her too much to resist him.

In his eyes, Li Chen and Li Youxue had become nothing more than prey in his pocket.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t witnessed Li Chen’s earlier battle against those dozens of people, otherwise, he might not have thought this way.

At the very least, he would have been more cautious of Li Chen.

“You came alone?” Li Chen looked at the old-faced man and suddenly asked.

The old-faced man frowned. Such a little bug, already at death’s door, why still so much nonsense?

“So what if I did? Do you really think that you two can contend with me?” the old-faced man sneered.

Li Chen ignored the old-faced man, put down Li Youxue, and asked her: “How is your recovery?”

“Seventy percent.” Li Youxue simply replied.

“That’s enough.” Li Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking at the old-faced man.

“We’re not going to contend with you; we’re going to… kill you!!”

Ps: During a break from writing today, I found a book called “Rural Supreme Small Immortal Doctor” that seems pretty good. Anyone else reading it?
