Chapter 1216: Chapter 1188: I’ll Stall Him for a While!
Li Chen is now a Roaring-level expert, even though he can’t see Second Grandfather’s power clearly, he can tell that Second Grandfather’s current state is quite poor.
He saw that strike just now, its power was immense, but likewise, the greater the power of a technique, the greater the consumption for the Martial Artist. Li Chen is quite aware of this.
Moreover, Second Grandfather had been battling Yun Canglong for so long; saying he’s at the end of his resources wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Actually, when he made his surprise attack just now, it was Second Grandfather’s opportunity.
But Second Grandfather did not launch an attack, indirectly proving that he truly had no strength left.
Looking at Yun Canglong, Li Chen quickly began analyzing in his mind.
Though he appeared to be frenzied on the surface, Li Chen was incredibly calm inside.
He knew very clearly that with Second Grandfather here, he absolutely couldn’t act recklessly.
"What’s wrong? Afraid to make a move?" Yun Canglong coldly said, "Kid, weren’t you quite fierce just now, why all bark and no bite?"
"Don’t you know, rain doesn’t kill people, thunder can strike people dead?" Li Chen retorted without courtesy.
The next moment, Li Chen suddenly struck.
A strike at full power to unsheathe the sword.
"Unsheathe the sword, slash one man!!"
"Zhi—"
This blade light seemed like a miniature version, not as astounding as what Li Chen used in the past, but its power was even more terrifying.
After all, this was a sword for slaying thousands, now concentrated into slaying one, the power is evidently terrifying.
However, upon seeing this blade light, Yun Canglong revealed a disdainful cold smile, seemingly not taking this attack seriously at all.
With a wave of his arm, the arm armor collided with the blade light.
"Humm!!"
A muffled sound came from the collision point between the arm armor and the blade light.
Very quickly, cracks began to appear on the scarlet concentrated blade light.
The next moment, the blade light abruptly shattered.
Even the blade light of the unsheathed sword shattered instantly under Yun Canglong’s punch.
Scorching-level power, terrifying indeed!
"Kid, there’s still... hmm?"
Yun Canglong was just about to speak, but his brow suddenly furrowed because at that moment, a pitch-black object suddenly smashed towards him.
Without thinking, he swung a punch at it.
"Clang!!"
The punch landed on the pitch-black object, unexpectedly producing a sound like a bell ringing.
Just as Yun Canglong noticed something was wrong, flames suddenly erupted centered on his fist.
"Boom!!"
Flames erupted suddenly, even catching him off guard, enveloping him completely in flames.
Li Chen reached out and grabbed, pulling back the Black Pearl, looking at Yun Canglong who was completely surrounded by flames, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The flames of the Scorching-level Black Dragon aren’t pleasant, are they?"
"Li Chen, you..." Second Grandfather wanted to speak after seeing this scene, but Li Chen interrupted him.
"Second Grandfather, your injuries are severe, the most important thing now is to recover from them, so leave this guy to me for now."
"But he..."
"I know he’s a Scorching-level expert, but no matter who he is, it’s not that easy to kill me, Li Chen!" Li Chen said flatly.
Upon hearing Li Chen say this, Second Grandfather seemed like he wanted to say more, but eventually just nodded silently.
However, from an angle Li Chen couldn’t see, Second Grandfather’s mouth curled into a smile.
"This child... has grown up. Looking more like the Eldest Young Master."
Li Chen knew that although the flames were those of the Scorching-level Black Dragon, Yun Canglong, as a Scorching-level warrior, surely wouldn’t be trapped for long, so he was still pondering a countermeasure now.
For him, a Scorching-level warrior is simply an unfathomably strong existence, a difference of two grades is not just words.
Earth-level experts, with each rank’s difference, the power disparities are immense, let alone the gap between two ranks.
Just at this time, a somewhat disheveled figure suddenly appeared beside Li Chen.
"How is it?" Seeing this figure, Li Chen quickly asked.
"Cough cough!" Zi Zhao wiped his mouth, clearly having participated in the battle earlier, and suffered some injuries, looking pale at the moment.
"I have already contacted the Hongmeng Pavilion, their experts will rush here as fast as possible, but currently, around Linchuan is your turf, Hongmeng Pavilion hasn’t intervened much, so there aren’t many experts here. It may take some time before they arrive." Zi Zhao finished speaking in one breath and began panting again.
Li Chen nodded: "So, we need to stall for a little more time?"
"From any angle, it seems to be so." Zi Zhao smiled wryly and nodded.
"Alright then." Li Chen’s gaze locked onto Yun Canglong in mid-air, actually, at the moment, the biggest threat is this Scorching-level expert; as long as he can be held off, others will have enough ability to stall for a longer time.
But if he’s allowed to join the other’s battles, it would be a disastrous outcome.
"I’ll stall him for a little longer!" Li Chen’s face settled into unexpected calm.
But if it were Catherine and those who’ve been with Li Chen for years here, seeing Li Chen’s eyes, they’d know; the boss is ready to risk everything!
"Ssss—"
At this moment, a tearing sound came from mid-air.
In the terrifying flames, suddenly a hand reached out.
The hand bore a gold arm armor, dimmed somewhat by the heat.
Next moment, the hand shook violently, and the flames, like a thin paper, suddenly dispersed in the air, turning into fire sparks, vanishing soon after.
At this time, Yun Canglong looked somewhat disheveled.
Well, actually quite disheveled indeed.
It must be said, this Scorching-level Dragon Flame did catch him off guard.
His clothes were burned into ragged pieces, if he hadn’t desperately protected his key areas, this Scorching-level expert would practically be streaking in public.
But even then, his state now is close to streaking.
What’s most laughable is, this old man’s white hair turned black at this moment.
Of course, it’s not the jet black sort.
But rather the burnt black type.
"Kid, I must tell you one thing, you’ve successfully angered me."
Even with Yun Canglong’s profound cultivation and excellent Qi cultivation technique, he almost went berserk from anger, looking at Li Chen, his eyes were filled with deep killing intent.
Li Chen sneered: "Old codger, if you dare, come kill me then?"
Saying this, Li Chen unceremoniously turned and ran.
