My gorgeous wife Chapter 1964 - 1932: Suppression

A gust of wind roared!

With a single swift strike, the entirety of the starry expanse fell into a profound silence.

This was because all the eminent experts found themselves too preoccupied to attend to anything else; their sole focus was on withstanding the tempest that raged before them.

As Li Chen observed the multitude of powerhouses ensnared within his Blade Glow Storm, his expression remained utterly serene while he approached the two individuals at his side.

"Are you both alright?"

"I am fine." Christina cast a complex, contemplative glance upon Li Chen and Zhang Shutong, who stood nearby.

She had already surmised that the secret realm might present a certain degree of peril given her own capabilities, which was the very reason she had extended an invitation to Li Chen and the others.

Yet, Li Chen had managed to astonish her. Prior to their entry, he had guided them toward a swift acquisition of power, and even after such a chaotic event transpired, he had arrived with remarkable speed to offer assistance. Truthfully speaking, their connection was no more than that of passing acquaintances.

Christina had never dared to place her complete trust even in the comrades who had ventured into the Ancient Battle Realm alongside her, but the fact that Li Chen and his contingent, mere figures of casual acquaintance, exhibited such unwavering loyalty was a significant factor contributing to Christina's complex emotional state.

What further complicated her feelings was that, despite her inherent confidence in her own formidable strength, believing that even when suppressed to the Domain Realm she would face no peer, she realized upon witnessing Li Chen's display that not a single member of his group was ordinary.

Could a standard Domain Realm cultivator single-handedly subdue scores of individuals, rendering them utterly immobile?

Furthermore, observing Li Chen, it seemed that the act of confining so many required minimal exertion. In simpler terms, should he so desire, he could unleash significantly greater power at any given moment to annihilate these adversaries.

A vague sense of her previously held worldview being dismantled began to dawn on Christina.

Could an individual at the Domain Realm truly possess such overwhelming might?

It bore mentioning that among the subdued combatants were numerous powerhouses at the Soul Realm, whose potent abilities, even when forcefully suppressed, were still undeniably formidable, were they not?

As for the remainder, even if they truly belonged to the Domain Realm, the audacity to trespass into this domain implicitly suggested they wielded significant trump cards.

Nevertheless, despite the combined might of so many, they were individually subdued by Li Chen's prowess.

This man, just how immeasurable was his true strength?

It wasn't solely her; even Zhang Shutong, standing beside her, regarded Li Chen with an unusual intensity in his eyes.

He recognized it; his intuition had been accurate.

From the very first moment he laid eyes on Li Chen, he had detected an aura of profound danger emanating from the young man.

Even with the substantial recovery of his own cultivation, this disquieting aura had not diminished.

As a Destroyer, he was intimately familiar with such sensations.

And given his elevated rank of the eighth order, the very fact that this youth, seemingly just in the Domain Realm, could instill within him a palpable sense of threat signified that this young man genuinely possessed the capacity to endanger him!

"A monster."

Zhang Shutong uttered this silent pronouncement to himself, refraining from vocalizing it.

However, Christina gave voice to her astonishment.

With an exaggerated eye-roll, she directed a look at Li Chen, stating, "I have truly never encountered a freak like you. To be completely candid, are you genuinely at the Domain Realm?"

"Naturally, my cultivation rests within the Domain Realm," Li Chen responded with a chuckle, spreading his hands wide. "A genuine sixth-order Kuotian Realm King, to be precise."

Christina furrowed her brow, her gaze continuing to scrutinize Li Chen with a peculiar intensity. "If you are indeed only at the Domain Realm, then you must be the most aberrant Domain Realm cultivator I have ever had the misfortune to witness."

Initially, her curiosity had been piqued solely by Li Chen's ostensibly mixed-species entourage, but she had never anticipated that, after truly joining forces, Li Chen would present such an astonishing and delightful revelation.

Monster!

Li Chen lightly touched his nose; this was far from the first occasion he had received such an assessment.

Faced with this recurring appraisal, he found himself uncertain how best to respond, merely directing a glance toward Christina. "How do you propose we handle these individuals?"

"That decision rests entirely with you." Christina cast a fleeting look at the contingent of powerhouses still engaged in combat within the swirling storm, then casually flipped an object.

A single copper coin descended into Li Chen's waiting hand.

This specific copper coin was precisely the renowned artifact belonging to the powerhouse of the Palm Realm!

Gazing at the copper coin now resting in his palm, Li Chen could not suppress a mild sense of surprise.

This woman clearly held this item in high regard, clutching it possessively even amidst the intense onslaught, refusing to relinquish it. Yet now, she had simply bestowed it upon him?

"I am entrusting it to you," Christina's voice resonated, her tone carrying a subtle undercurrent. " I too have previously examined this copper coin, and it undoubtedly possesses an aura that transcends the Soul Realm. Utilize it to gain some valuable insights, but do not forget to return it to me once you are finished."

Li Chen let out a silent chuckle, understanding perfectly that this was Christina's unique method of conveying her gratitude for his timely intervention and aid, albeit she maintained her customary defiant demeanor even now.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Chen carefully began to sense the inherent aura within the coin before intending to pass it along to Zhang Shutong, who stood beside him.

However, Zhang Shutong promptly shook his head, stating, "I have no need for such a trinket."

Li Chen's silence spoke volumes, acknowledging that as a Destroyer, Zhang Shutong had likely faced more formidable opponents than himself and might have even encountered a genuine Palm Realm expert. Therefore, Li Chen didn't press the issue, deciding to hold onto the copper coin for the time being.

His intention was to have Bai Tianyi and Yang Xin examine it later.

Curiously, despite the signal having been dispatched some time ago, Bai Tianyi and Yang Xin had yet to make their appearance.

"Could they have run into trouble and become ensnared?" Li Chen's brows knitted together.

Regarding their safety, with Bai Tianyi present, Li Chen wasn't excessively concerned; however, if they were indeed trapped, that would pose a degree of difficulty.

"Let's handle these individuals first, and then we can go search for Tian Yi and the others. Furthermore, I've had some new realizations," Li Chen suggested.

"Understood," Christina responded with a nod, then she posed the question, "What is your plan for dealing with these people?"

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, replying in a low tone, "Eliminate them."

A slight tension gripped the hearts of Christina and Zhang Shutong, but they both subsequently nodded in agreement.

Undeniably, this presented the most straightforward and expeditious solution.

Moreover, neither Zhang Shutong nor Christina possessed inherently benevolent natures.

It could even be asserted that within this Ancient Battle Realm, approaching a situation with leniency when seeking retribution was practically an invitation to demise.

Gazing at the swirling tempest, Li Chen extended his hand and exerted downward pressure.

An even more formidable power surged violently towards the storm's epicenter.

Concurrently, a spark of profound insight ignited within Li Chen's mind.

A vivid memory surfaced from a recent encounter, during his confrontation with the Purple Inscription Immortal Emperor. That awe-inspiring Immortal Law had left an indelible mark on him, one that lingered even now.

"Blade of Self-Slaughter!"

Following the execution of the Blade of Self-Slaughter, precisely when the contingent of powerhouses experienced a lapse in their mental and spiritual fortitude, Li Chen struck again with lightning speed.

Employing an unusual arm movement, his Yuan Force was channeled outward in a peculiar fashion.

"Dead Silence!"
