Chapter 1370: Chapter 1341: Life Drain
"Isn’t this old guy supposed to be on the verge of death? How can he still be so fierce?" Li Chen was kicked hard, feeling as if his waist was about to break. He leaned on Red Moon, gasping for breath while cursing silently in his heart.
The power of the withered old man truly exceeded his expectations somewhat.
Even though they were prepared for the old man’s strength, they still found themselves noticeably exhausted when truly fighting against him.
It’s not because they are weak, but because this old man is simply too strong.
He looks emaciated, as if he could breathe his last at any moment, yet his attacks are extremely ferocious.
Several times, the blade light Li Chen slashed out was shattered by the old man’s punches!
It’s worth noting that Li Chen’s blade light now cannot be compared to before. After incorporating the Power of the Attribute, his blade light has started evolving in a terrifying direction.
Currently, almost no opponent of the same level can withstand a single slash from Li Chen.
Even if they could block it, they would need to focus completely and use their weapons to defend.
But this old man shattered Li Chen’s blade light with just his fists, which surprised Li Chen even more than when Behemoth used its claws to smash his attack.
After all, Behemoth is a Giant Beast, with a body incomparably strong and its claws can serve as weapons.
But this old man is clearly from the Human Race and is just using his fists!
"Boss, what should we do now?" Ning Wangyang came to Li Chen’s side and whispered to him.
"I don’t know, this guy is too strong. Even if I use my currently strongest slash, I’m afraid I can’t seriously injure him." Li Chen’s face was extremely grave.
"But, the water pool over there is very useful to me!"
"Then let’s fight!" Ning Wangyang’s face tightened, and he charged forward with his sword again.
Touching his own injured area, Li Chen’s expression changed slightly. His Hyper Regeneration Cells hadn’t fully regained vitality, so for now, he couldn’t instantly recover from these injuries.
This was undoubtedly bad news for him.
But...
"Ha!!"
A low shout came from Li Chen’s mouth, and his black hair instantly turned red. As his bloody long hair flew, his eyes also turned crimson.
"Blood Fury!"
A dazzling light flashed on the Red Moon.
Li Chen’s figure flashed suddenly, and in an instant, he was in front of the old man, slashing out with a blade.
"Wordless!!"
At the moment this blade was slashed out, silence fell over the surroundings.
Even Ning Wangyang, who had been roaring as he charged at the withered old man, seemed to lose his voice at this moment.
This was the most powerful slash Li Chen had unleashed so far and the greatest benefit he gained after accepting Lieu Zhanxiao’s gift.
This blade was created for Lieu Zhanxiao, for Patricia, for Cherie, and for those fallen warriors.
Wordless!
Heroic and silent!
Heroic and unwavering!
The typically calm-looking old man, upon sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the blade, finally showed a change in expression for the first time.
His face became heavy with seriousness.
Li Chen clearly saw that the old man’s body seemed to become half-transparent at that moment.
And his blade light, upon reaching the old man’s presence, strangely paused.
It was as if something obstructed it, causing Li Chen’s Red Moon to bizarrely pause in midair.
The next moment, Li Chen found his blade strangely deviating slightly to the left.
And the old man’s body turned sharply to the right in an instant.
"Zzz—"
With a bizarre sound, the blade fell.
Red Moon had traces of blood on it, but underneath the blade, there was nothing.
All that existed was a pitch-black trench, extremely deep, extending to an unknown distance.
However, the old man still evaded this strike.
The strength of Li Chen’s Wordless cut was such that even a powerhouse like the old man had to choose to dodge.
Because he could feel that this blade indeed had the power to threaten his life!
A hint of regret flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.
Even though Ning Wangyang had timely followed up and struck the old man again, it didn’t inflict much harm.
Li Chen wanted to slash again, but he understood that against such a powerhouse, using the same technique twice would significantly reduce its effectiveness.
If the first strike could be dodged, in using Wordless a second time, the opponent would definitely be prepared. The slash might not even graze him.
Such a powerful technique like Wordless could only be used as a trump card; Li Chen knew this more than anyone else.
"Kid, it seems your strength is indeed quite good. In that case, you shall be my first big meal!" The old man looked at Li Chen with a sinister gaze.
Li Chen’s previous slash had indeed startled him.
Initially, he thought Li Chen and Ning Wangyang were just two ordinary Burning Heat Level martial artists, so he didn’t pay much attention.
However, upon discovering their ability to threaten him, he couldn’t help but become wary.
He knew better than anyone that he wasn’t at his peak now. With his strength at ten percent, being able to exert seven percent was already decent. Although he had long become an Infinite Level Powerhouse, in his current state, he might not even match a martial artist who just stepped into Infinite Hell and began Blood Condensation.
"The consumption of power is getting faster and faster. I need to end this battle quickly." The withered old man looked at his own body and noticed it had once again become somewhat illusory, causing him to frown.
Suddenly, the old man stretched a hand toward the sky and grabbed fiercely.
Seemingly stimulated by something, a large number of green light dots drifted from the trees around Li Chen and Ning Wangyang.
These green light dots rapidly gathered towards the old man’s body the moment they appeared.
Once these green light dots integrated into his body, the old man’s originally somewhat illusory body immediately became much more solid.
"It seems this old guy’s condition isn’t good either." Li Chen and Ning Wangyang exchanged a glance, instantly understanding why this forest felt so devoid of life.
It turned out that the Breath of Life from the plants and trees had been absorbed by this old guy.
"This kind of power absorption, could it be the Wood Attribute?"
Before Li Chen could finish speculating, the old man vanished from the sight of the two.
"Where did he go?!"
Li Chen and Ning Wangyang immediately grew alert.
"Are you looking for me?"
Two vines unexpectedly sprouted from beneath their feet, swiftly binding Li Chen and Ning Wangyang tightly.
"Oh no!" Both of their expressions changed simultaneously.
