My gorgeous wife Chapter 2452 - 2420: Wounds Reopened, Who Wouldn’t Feel Pain?
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
In this world, there are many things that are difficult to grasp.
And the human heart is undoubtedly one of the most elusive.
The human heart is changeable.
It is precisely because of its changeability that it leads to suspicion, and it is because of suspicion that it becomes even more changeable.
If many people were still thinking about a battle between two strong opponents a moment ago, then after Mie Xing spoke, Li Chen’s situation immediately became disadvantageous.
Because he sensed the hostility coming from many people here.
"Indeed, this secular Taoist friend seems to have appeared here inexplicably, and we completely know nothing about his background."
"Moreover, just as Senior Mie Xing said, since Senior Mie Xing arrived at the Jianmu Universe, nothing has happened in all these years. So why did so much trouble arise as soon as this secular Taoist friend appeared?"
Listening to the discussions, Li Chen grinned.
Originally, he wanted to argue a few words, but after thinking it over, he gave up.
Because there wasn’t anything worth arguing about.
And indeed, just as Mie Xing said, wherever he appears, trouble accompanies.
"No choice, I’m a Lonesome Star of Heavenly Slaughter, aren’t I?" Li Chen smiled self-mockingly.
As long as these people do not block his path, it would be fine.
If these people are determined to stop him, then there is no other way.
Only killing.
"Anyway, I’ve gotten used to it, haven’t I?"
Looking at his own hands, even he couldn’t remember how much blood his hands had been stained with.
Can’t remember, can’t count anymore.
But fortunately, he had gotten used to it.
"Unsheathed!"
With a flicker, Li Chen used the terrifying speed of unsheathing to instantly teleport in front of Mie Xing. At the same time, the Red Moon completed its momentum buildup, directly absorbing the remaining half of the Blood Sea into the blade.
At this moment, the Red Moon’s power surged to an extreme.
"Wind and Rain... Ending Spring and Autumn!"
Wind and Rain Ending Spring and Autumn!
Once again it appeared, back then, Li Chen used the power of the Heaven and Earth Realm to disintegrate Shang’s Palm Source strike, a Great Divine Power!
Back then, Li Chen paid the price of having his cultivation completely drained.
But this time, Li Chen was not qualified to pay this price, so the Red Moon bore the burden.
Compared to Li Chen who was just at the Heaven and Earth Realm back then, the Red Moon was incomparably stronger. After sacrificing half the Blood Sea, it compressed the price of this blade divine skill into a bearable range.
Yet this blade was equally terrifying.
More terrifying than the blade Li Chen struck against Shang back then!
Mie Xing obviously also sensed the impending crisis and reacted immediately.
"Great Sorrow Finger of Star Sea!!"
Around Mie Xing, the Pseudo-Universe suddenly shrank.
Everyone had a sort of hallucination, as if at that moment, a large portion of the power was somehow drawn from Mie Xing’s Pseudo-Universe, causing it to shrink instantly.
As the Pseudo-Universe contracted, a terrifying finger beam shot out from within.
It collided with the void blade light.
Time and space seemed to pause for a moment.
The next moment, space suddenly exploded.
Accompanied by this strike, Molting Dream Mountain directly turned into nothingness.
The numerous powerful beings on the mountain, below Palm Realm, were almost instantly swept into the aftermath, unable to even scream, and were directly obliterated.
Even Qiu Shui and Leng Yuning, and Butterfly Rakshasa of Yangchun Road who were originally in battle, had to stop fighting and start defending.
There was no other choice; this strike was too terrifying, they had to defend with all their might.
In the exploding space, Li Chen and Mie Xing did not pause, but engaged in battle again in this dangerous environment.
"Crack!"
Mie Xing’s hand blade, carrying a destructive aura, struck Li Chen’s right flank, shattering a small section of Li Chen’s waist into powder like hitting glass.
At Mie Xing’s level, whether or not to use weapons was merely a matter of habit.
Even without powerful divine weapons, their fists and feet were the most terrifying weapons in the world!
Li Chen’s realm was not as high as Mie Xing’s, and his reactions were much slower. After being struck by Mie Xing thrice in the chest, he finally raised his hand to launch a strike.
Finger bent, flicked.
One finger, Cease Spear!
Mie Xing’s movements paused.
Seizing this pause, from Li Chen’s body emerged a surge of destructive aura no weaker than Mie Xing’s.
"Law of Destruction, I have it too!!"
Ignoring his injuries, Li Chen forcibly twisted his body, thrusting out a blade.
"Wordless!!"
One blade, directly tearing through Mie Xing’s chest.
At the same time, Mie Xing also broke free from the pause of Cease Spear, and fiercely struck Li Chen’s forehead, sending him flying.
Amid rolling, Li Chen endured the tearing of his divine soul and the excruciating pain from his body on the verge of collapse, forcibly clasping his hands together.
Light and Darkness as the bow, Life and Death transformed into arrow! Thunder fused with Life and Death!
Black and White Arrow of Life and Death!!
Within this single divine skill, five laws were contained!
One could say, on the path of fusing laws, Li Chen had already advanced to a point where later generations could hardly see his back.
This is also one of Li Chen’s greatest cards below the Late Stage in his cultivation!
"Whoosh—"
The Arrow of Life and Death tore through the void, aiming straight for Mie Xing’s forehead.
"Crack, crack!!"
Mie Xing immediately summoned his strongest defense, but under the terrifying Arrow of Life and Death, layer upon layer of defenses were continually shattered.
As the Arrow of Life and Death was about to hit his forehead, Mie Xing suddenly gritted his teeth.
"Law Splitting Soul!"
In an instant, Mie Xing’s divine soul seemed to split into two parts, one remaining in the forehead, and the other darting to different parts of the body.
With a turn, realizing he couldn’t dodge the attack, he chose the spot to be struck.
"Rip!!"
The Arrow of Life and Death pierced through Mie Xing’s shoulder, pinning him against the void.
From within Mie Xing’s body, a piercing scream resonated.
It was the recently split Law Splitting Soul being obliterated by the berserk killing intent of the Arrow of Life and Death.
But being pinned in the void, Mie Xing’s face showed no panic.
"What’s next, any more tricks?" Looking at Li Chen, Mie Xing’s face revealed a mocking expression.
"This should be all you have, right? If there are no more tricks, then just die obediently." Mie Xing transmitted through Divine Soul, audible only to Li Chen and himself: "Don’t worry, I’ll take what you’ve done here back, let everyone in the Starry Universe know. The creatures of this era in Starry Universe are too stubborn. The Supreme of Starry Sky was like this back then, you, and others are all the same."
"But, I suppose you hold an extraordinary position in Starry Universe to come beyond its world, right?"
"Perhaps, you might be what those beings in Starry Universe like to call ’the last hope’?"
"Rest assured, I will tell them, tell them you died here, completely extinguishing all hope of life in this universe’s era!!"
At this moment, Mie Xing was no longer the silent, seemingly kind person he appeared to be.
Now, Mie Xing revealed his true nature, a monster with a completely warped personality!
This monster originated from the Starry Universe!
Li Chen gasped heavily, seeing the cracks on his body seemingly ready to collapse at any moment, suddenly smiled: "Do you think acting like this makes you scary? Do you think speaking like this can instill fear in me?"
"Don’t make me laugh!" With some exhaustion, Li Chen waved his hand and said: "If Starry Universe is truly this fragile, it would have perished long ago during the era of the Seven Realms."
"If I’m not wrong, you should be a remnant soul escaped from Starry Universe during the Seven Realms era, right?" Li Chen looked at Mie Xing with a sympathetic gaze.
"So pathetic, having your true form sealed away for such a long time, escaping only as a remnant soul from Starry Universe. If I’m correct, coming here must have been hard for you?"
Upon hearing this, Mie Xing’s expression turned grim.
Evidently, Li Chen’s words recalled unpleasant memories.
"If I’m still not wrong, over these years hiding in Jianmu Universe, you’ve mostly been recovering, right? How pitiful, as a Dao Saint, passing through so many eras only to heal like a stray dog, licking its wounds under someone else’s roof." Li Chen said with undisguised mockery.
"Shut up!!" Mie Xing’s breath condensed, and he directly crushed the Arrow of Life and Death pinning him in the void, now almost devoid of power.
Evidently, his words didn’t frighten Li Chen, instead had the opposite effect.
In terms of sharp tongue, he was far inferior to this secular Taoist friend who could infuriate people to death.
But Li Chen knew, wasn’t he the same?
In truth, they were two equally ill-fated foes unmasking each other’s wounds.
But when the wound is truly exposed, who doesn’t feel the pain?
"No matter how sharp-tongued you are, it doesn’t change the fact that today, you will die here!" Mie Xing said with a sinister laugh: "Once I kill you, I’ll leave this Jianmu Universe and return. The end of the era shouldn’t be far off, right?"
Li Chen took a deep breath, looked at Mie Xing: "Rest assured, you won’t be returning."
In Li Chen’s hand, there was suddenly a stone.
Ningdao Stone.
Just during his and Mie Xing’s venomous exchange, he took the opportunity to cover the costs and acquired the Ningdao Stone from Saint Tao Wu.
Mie Xing was wasting time to dispel the aftermath of the Black and White Arrow of Life and Death, wasn’t he also buying time?
His cultivation was still only in the Soul Realm, even though the previous battle was mostly absorbed by the Red Moon, some remaining aftershocks falling upon him were not easy to withstand now.
He needed a break too!
And during this time, Li Chen secretly traded for the Ningdao Stone.
"Seems today, one of us is destined to perish in this alien land." Mie Xing said cynically, looking at Li Chen, giving him a chillingly bizarre aura at this moment.
"Indeed." Li Chen nodded.
"Then, let’s go."
"Come!"
A crack suddenly appeared in the void, followed by a mighty force descending swiftly, both Li Chen and Mie Xing were forcibly imprisoned on the spot by an irresistible power.
A cold voice gradually emerged at this moment.
"Enough, stop right now!"
