Chapter 1204: Chapter 1176: Yu Lian’s Shock
Seeing the person walking out of the house was Li Chen, the expressions on the two people’s faces appeared somewhat complex.
Not sure whether to sigh or feel relieved, the two exchanged a glance and saw an unusual color in each other’s eyes.
Because in their hearts, even they were unsure if they truly wanted to see that person.
Even if they themselves had been forgotten.
This emotional expression didn’t last long before their faces turned cold.
Indeed, it was a trap, not a very clever one, but both of them still fell for it.
This means that although this trap was not clever, it was still effective in practice.
"Li Chen!" At this moment, Yu Lian suddenly spoke.
"Li Chen?" Duanmu Wuliang looked at the young man in the distance holding a blood-colored blade and then asked Yu Lian, "Is that Li Chen?"
"That’s right," Yu Lian nodded, "I met him before with Han Jue, so I can confirm."
Hearing this, Duanmu Wuliang couldn’t help but sneer, "I didn’t expect him to come out alone beforehand. However, this guy is really stupid, having such good luck to escape, he doesn’t do anything else but insists on luring us here. Isn’t he courting death?"
"Seems like he can’t die along with his beloved subordinates," Yu Lian also sneered and sent a sound transmission to Duanmu Wuliang.
At this moment, Duanmu Wuliang stepped forward, looked at Li Chen, and said with a cold smile, "You said earlier that you’ve been waiting for us for a long time? What do you intend to do by waiting for us here?"
Li Chen lightly flicked the Red Moon in his hand, not speaking, as the killing intent on him revealed his purpose.
"Have all your people come out; otherwise, do you think you alone can deal with both of us?" Duanmu Wuliang said arrogantly, glancing around.
"There’s no one else," Li Chen shook his head. "Killing you both, I’m enough."
"Such arrogant words!" Yu Lian said coldly, "Kid, have you forgotten that not long ago I almost captured you? If it weren’t for that old man Luo Yi appearing, do you think you could still stand here talking to us?"
Li Chen shook his head, "I already said, no one else, dealing with you, I’m enough."
Just as Li Chen’s words fell, a surge of imposing momentum erupted from him.
A Union Level aura laced with killing intent, like a sudden gust of wind, fiercely assaulted the two of them.
"Union Level?! How is that possible? Last time we met, he was only at the Crowd Harmony level, how could he reach Union so quickly?" Yu Lian’s face changed drastically as he felt this terrifying aura.
Duanmu Wuliang’s expression also looked unpleasant, but he still turned his head to look at Yu Lian and said disdainfully, "So what if he’s Union Level? Are you scared?"
Yu Lian snorted coldly, avoiding arguing with Duanmu Wuliang, as he knew that once they started a quarrel, it would be endless.
Moreover, now was clearly not the time for an argument.
Though he hadn’t formally fought Li Chen yet, from the information he gathered, he could infer some of Li Chen’s capabilities from the side.
This kid is absolutely a monster not inferior to his father back then!
In Yu Lian’s hand, it was unclear when he had drawn out a thin bamboo sword from nowhere.
Though called a sword, that thin rod looked more like an enlarged brush.
At the end of the bamboo sword was a tuft of dense, unknown white hair.
And in Duanmu Wuliang’s hand appeared a uniquely styled chain.
"Looks like you both seem to be prepared?" Li Chen said, eyeing them, his killing intent undisguised.
"Before we begin, I have a question," Li Chen suddenly said.
"Not long ago, did you invite Qin Lunhui and Li Xinglun out?" Li Chen asked calmly.
The whereabouts of Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandfather were unknown, and Second Grandfather hadn’t explained, only saying they were busy, but Li Chen couldn’t help but worry about the two elders.
"So it was indeed about that matter?" Duanmu Wuliang shook the chain in his hand and then replied, "Yes, it was us who invited Qin Lunhui and Li Xinglun. Though the orders came from above, it seemed we were supposed to eliminate those two old guys. How are they, dead yet?"
As he spoke, Duanmu Wuliang couldn’t help but grin mockingly at Li Chen.
"They’re not dead," Li Chen shook his head, confirming his suspicions, "However, you both are about to die now."
"Ridiculous!" Duanmu Wuliang sneered, shook the chain in his hand with a clear clang, and was about to strike first.
But at that moment, Li Chen had already made the first move.
"Unsheathed!"
"Swish——"
Yu Lian and Duanmu Wuliang only heard a piercing wind-breaking sound, and the next instant, two blood-red blade lights were already in front of them.
"So fast!"
Their hearts both skipped a beat, and they instinctively chose to defend.
The Union Level True Qi shockwave, colliding with the blood-colored blade lights, in the next moment, both were forced backward.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Duanmu Wuliang was pushed back seven steps, while Yu Lian retreated a full thirteen steps before steadying himself. Looking at Li Chen again, both of their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Both had defended with full force, yet were still knocked back such a long distance. Even they had to admit they had underestimated Li Chen before.
Although of the same level, there is still a difference between a newbie and a Martial Artist who has stayed at that level for years.
In their view, even if Li Chen had indeed broken through to Union Level, it should have been just recently, and as seasoned Union Level fighters, they hadn’t expected Li Chen’s attack to exceed their expectations.
Seeing the cautious looks on their faces, Li Chen, holding the Red Moon, slightly lowered his body, his form taut as if he were a longbow about to release.
"Don’t rush, nothing to be surprised about, because now, this is just an appetizer. The real main course is yet to come."
Having confirmed their involvement in that matter, Li Chen had no intention of showing mercy.
These two people, they must die!
Thus,
"Now, let’s officially begin," Li Chen’s eyes flashed with a blood-colored light, his figure flickered, and he charged directly at them, the Red Moon in his hand transformed into a blood-red crescent moon, slashing towards them with force.
