My gorgeous wife Chapter 2035 - 2003: Get Lost or Die

Li Chen’s utterance caused the expressions of those around him to falter momentarily, shifting from surprise to frigid coldness.

His very presence ignited naked killing intent within their gazes.

Had Li Chen yielded the Shadow Soul willingly, perhaps this junior of the Human Race might have been granted a merciful end. But his apparent ignorance of his own peril meant they wouldn't hesitate to eradicate such a rare species from the Yushi Realm!

"Ignorant of his own peril!" The burly man with brown hair scoffed, extending a colossal hand to seize Li Chen.

Yet, before his grasp could connect, an intervention occurred; a colossal hammer plummeted from the heavens, striking the outstretched hand and unleashing a deafening roar.

While the hammer was repelled, the brown-haired strongman’s hand was also forced back.

In that instant, a swift gust of wind swept by, and someone attempted to exploit the momentary clash to pilfer Li Chen’s Shadow Soul.

"Begone!" the fish-headed strongman bellowed, launching a spear that seemed to traverse space, striking with lightning speed the moment it was unleashed.

"Ah!!"

A faint cry echoed from the air. The opportunistic expert was struck by the spear, but with remarkable skill, he vanished instantly without a trace.

Only the spear, embedded in the ground, bore a trace of blood.

"How intriguing."

Li Chen’s smile deepened as he observed the spear, yet he paid little heed to the ongoing brutal exchanges.

They considered him mere prey, but was he not regarding them in the same manner?

Lost in thought, Li Chen witnessed another streak of light flash overhead. Before anyone could react, Li Chen reached out once more, an ethereal Yuan Force hand materializing to snatch the gleaming object.

"Void Inscribed Profound Gold!"

As Li Chen revealed his opened palm, a collective gasp rippled through the numerous onlookers.

Void Inscribed Profound Gold was a treasure of immense value, rivaling even the Shadow Soul!

This was due to its inherent spatial attributes, which not only aided cultivators in understanding the Space Law but could also be refined by a Grandmaster artifact refiner into potent magical artifacts imbued with spatial abilities!

"This fellow’s fortune is truly heaven-defying, to casually acquire two such treasures!" An observer remarked, his eyes shining with avarice.

The tempestuous outpouring from the Spirit Releasing Abyss showed no signs of abating; amidst its chaos, Li Chen struck repeatedly, amassing several exquisite treasures.

Exquisite, at least, in his estimation.

To others, they were undoubtedly priceless artifacts!

Li Chen, however, disdained to even acknowledge the lesser items.

Despite the Spirit Releasing Abyss spewing forth a multitude of treasures, few piqued his interest.

The powerful individuals who had initially surrounded Li Chen ceased their attempts to seize items. Instead, they watched in quiet observation as Li Chen continued to gather treasures. To them, if this youth possessed such extraordinary luck, direct confrontation seemed unnecessary. They rationalized that waiting for the aftermath and claiming a share of the spoils would be far more advantageous.

Why engage in a costly struggle?

Of course, their optimistic calculations were soon to be challenged.

As Li Chen amassed more treasures, the crowd around him swelled. Casting wary glances at the formidable brown-haired and fish-headed figures, many discreetly withdrew to form a new alliance.

It was evident that these newcomers also coveted the items Li Chen possessed, but they recognized the futility of acting alone. Thus, they opted for a collective approach.

"It is nearly time." Observing the diminishing intensity of the eruption, Li Chen nodded. For him, securing three to five treasures was sufficient; they might prove useful in the future.

As for those that held no value to him, Li Chen saw no reason to waste his effort.

With Li Chen’s movement, the surrounding strongmen stirred, their gazes fixed upon him with icy resolve.

"What, do you also covet my possessions?" Li Chen addressed the newly formed group, his benevolent smile unwavering: "I had already issued a warning."

Li Chen gestured towards the brown-haired strongman and his companions: "When faced with me, there are but two options: depart, or perish. Since you are newcomers, allow me to kindly reiterate: are you prepared for either outcome?"

Upon hearing Li Chen's assertion, the newcomers exchanged bewildered glances.

Could this Human Race junior possibly be deranged?

If not, how else could such audacious words be uttered?

Many even speculated that Li Chen had succumbed to the corrupting influence of Nether Demon Qi, falling into a delusion where he perceived himself as an invincible warrior.

This, they reasoned, was the sole explanation for his utterly preposterous declaration.

Depart or die? Just who did he believe himself to be?

Seeing no immediate actions from the crowd, Li Chen's smile softened further.

The prevailing rules in this place held no sway over his actions; as long as his path remained unobstructed, others were free to conduct themselves as they pleased. However, if trouble were to seek him out, would he simply retreat?

"First, destroy this brat! I can’t stand to see him mock us!" shouted a burly man, who had hesitated to make a move earlier, allowing Li Chen to continue his tirade. Li Chen’s arrogant demeanor made them feel like insignificant ants, ripe for crushing, and it was unbearable to witness.

As he spoke, this formidable warrior conjured a Great Hand of Earth, aiming directly for Li Chen with the apparent intention of obliterating him completely.

Surely, upon Li Chen's demise, the coveted treasures would fall into his possession.

Witnessing another's action, a different strongman in the throng let out a cold snort and unleashed a Great Hand of Wind, sending it to clash against the Great Hand of Earth.

Regrettably, Li Chen was positioned directly between the descending hands. In the eyes of all present, although the Great Hand of Earth might not have been focused on seizing treasures, Li Chen was certain to be torn asunder by the imminent collision.

Li Chen observed this unfolding scene, the smile gracing his face remaining utterly unchanged.

Suddenly, the heavens themselves began to churn violently.

"What in the world is that?!"

Every eye widened in collective shock, snapping upwards to gaze at the sky.

A colossal rift, a vortex of black and silver, tore open overhead. From this anomaly emerged a Heaven-shrouding Hand of the Five Elements.

In its presence, the Great Hand of Earth and the Great Hand of Wind seemed utterly insignificant, like mere pebbles compared to towering mountains.

This immense Hand of the Five Elements blotted out the sky, its target firmly set on the strongmen arrayed before Li Chen.

Even the numerous formidable warriors couldn't help but tremble at the sight of this colossal appendage.

"Everyone, attack together now, or we shall all perish here!" the fish-headed strongman bellowed urgently.

Li Chen remained unfazed, his smile widening as he casually snapped his fingers.

"Snap!"

"Whoosh—"

The Sky-Supporting Giant Hand pierced through the resistance of the air, descending directly from the heavens!
