Li Chen fought off twelve members of the Italian Mafia who attacked him. After exhausting his True Qi, Li Chen faced Shouzi Shenglang, who revealed he destroyed Li Chen's lab and intended to kill him.

Li Chen’s statement laid bare his thoughts, clearly conveying that Shouzi Shenglang lacked the inherent strength to demolish his laboratory alone.

The implication was that Shouzi Shenglang had external backing, a fact Li Chen was fully aware of, recognizing his opponent’s limited personal prowess.

“Hmph!

Lord Nether King, do you presume to be extraordinarily cunning?

I acknowledge that even in my current injured state, I am no match for you. However, did you truly believe I would arrive unaccompanied?”

With his declaration, Shouzi Shenglang made a sweeping gesture, and shortly thereafter, two figures materialized beside him.

These individuals were quite familiar to Li Chen.

They had once been his trusted associates, his brothers even.

What puzzled Li Chen, however, was how these two had managed to reach this location so swiftly after recently departing the base.

“Wild Wolf, Ghost King, have the two of you truly committed to opposing me?”

As Li Chen uttered these words, a sense of disappointment washed over him.

It wasn't resentment for their betrayal that he felt, but rather a profound pity for Alice.

He was the one who had initially introduced Wild Wolf to her.

He had never foreseen Wild Wolf’s eventual defection.

Considering Alice’s unwavering loyalty to him, she must be experiencing immense guilt at this very moment.

“A wise bird selects its perch; rest assured, we will tenderly attend to your burial after your demise.”

While Wild Wolf remained conspicuously silent, Ghost King was the first to speak, displaying a complete disregard for Li Chen, his former commander.

Had he forgotten who had provided him sustenance and the means to approach women?

“Heh….

You two alone dare to utter the word ‘death’ in my presence?

You…

are utterly inadequate!”

Li Chen extended his index finger, flicking it dismissively before them.

Such blatant disrespect instantly irked Ghost King and even elicited a flicker of annoyance from Wild Wolf standing beside him.

“Still so defiant on the precipice of death….

I am eager to witness the extent of your remaining capabilities!”

Following Ghost King’s outburst, he launched himself forward without delay.

His moniker, Ghost King, was earned through his exceptionally swift, phantom-like movements, often making his approach imperceptible to ordinary observers.

Ranked thirty-eighth on the Earth Ranking, Ghost King undeniably lived up to his fearsome reputation.

Yet, all that Ghost King possessed had been bestowed by Li Chen, and consequently, Li Chen had every right to reclaim it.

“Hmph!”

Li Chen emitted a cold snort.

Despite Ghost King’s elusive maneuvers, was Li Chen intimidated?

He deliberately extended his arm, and the dagger concealed within his grasp shot forth instantaneously, a streak of chilling luminescence…

“Pfft…”

The projectile seemed to vanish into empty air, yet the unmistakable sound of flesh being pierced by a blade resonated.

In that very space, a shadowy form suddenly materialized, only to be violently propelled backward.

Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the individual bore a dagger embedded in their chest, with merely the hilt protruding.

A fatal blow, the formidable thirty-eighth ranked master on the Earth Ranking, had been dispatched by Li Chen with a single, decisive strike.

Witnessing this outcome, both Shouzi Shenglang and Wild Wolf were rendered utterly speechless.

The intelligence they possessed bore no resemblance to this turn of events.

A one-hit kill; Li Chen, at this precise moment, was undeniably in his absolute prime.

Li Chen, however, was inwardly battling the powerful urge to vomit blood, as this singular exertion had completely depleted his remaining strength.

Should either of the other two men make a move, he would be incapable of mounting any meaningful defense.

The very reason he had chosen to eliminate Ghost King with such swiftness was because it represented the absolute limit of his current capacity; he possessed no means to instantly dispatch the other two.

While Ghost King’s ranking was not insignificant, he suffered from a critical vulnerability—his speed was not complemented by comparable offensive power.

Against opponents of lesser strength, this deficiency might appear inconsequential, but when faced by someone swifter than himself?

Then, this disadvantage would be magnified exponentially, and Li Chen was precisely that faster adversary.

Even having vanquished Ghost King with a single strike, Li Chen remained unsettled, not due to Shouzi Shenglang, but because of the presence of another individual.

Yet, at this juncture, he could not afford to dwell on such concerns.

He fixed a cold gaze upon Shouzi Shenglang and inquired, “Well?

Is there anyone else who wishes to proceed?”

Despite being utterly devoid of combat capability, the imposing aura radiating from Li Chen was still potent enough to send shivers through both Shouzi Shenglang and Wild Wolf.

Shouzi Shenglang exhibited a measure of apprehension, yet departing under these circumstances felt deeply unsatisfying.

Wild Wolf recognized the profound folly of his actions, the sheer ignorance he had displayed for years serving Li Chen without truly grasping his latent strength.

A solitary strike had ended the Ghost King!

His own martial prowess was marginally superior to Ghost King’s, but his speed was undeniably inferior.

If the two were to engage in direct combat, he held a slight edge, but he was incapable of inflicting significant harm upon Ghost King.

Li Chen, though wounded, had nonetheless eliminated Ghost King with a single, devastating blow.

How truly formidable must Li Chen have been in his full strength?

It was only at this moment that the realization dawned upon him: the title of Nether King was not conferred without substantial merit.

“Nobody move!”

Just then, a crisp voice rang out, its tone indescribably cold.

There were still people around? Shouzi Shenglang’s face showed a panicked expression. Hearing the rustling footsteps around, he exchanged a glance with Wild Wolf and the two quickly retreated backwards. An Earth Ranking expert, incredibly fast. The likelihood of catching up was very low. Li Chen did not watch the direction in which the two were escaping but turned around to look behind himself. He saw a woman, all wrapped in black clothing, revealing only a fine figure; her face was not very clear. Seeing the newcomer, Li Chen’s vigilance increased because he felt that this woman was more formidable than Shouzi Shenglang.

“Our esteemed Lord Nether King, what’s the matter with you? Why aren’t you staying in your Palace of the Nether King instead of coming to Huaxia?” Mockery, it was definitely mockery.

“Nothing much, just felt that there are quite a few beauties in Huaxia, thought about finding a wife to settle down with, that’s all.” Despite the pain in his body, Li Chen said this casually. Li Chen had been through too many experiences, encountering countless life and death crises. Naturally, he could handle today’s situation with ease.

“Oh? So, have you found one yet? Our Huaxia girls are very traditional, they might not take to you.” The woman’s voice still carried a tone of mockery, seemingly not very fond of Li Chen.

“Really? I haven’t noticed that. I find the girls in Huaxia quite welcoming. When I came here, I just pretended to be a seller of egg-filled pancakes. But you know what happened? A beauty actually said she wanted to marry me. She really is a beauty, her name is Lin Yi. We’ve already registered our marriage, you know. As for what you said about Huaxia girls being conservative, I don’t agree with that. That Lin Yi is quite open; we just had a lengthy battle in the bedroom.” If you look down on me, I will immediately prove you wrong, face to face. You say Huaxia girls are conservative, but what about my wife then?

“You…don’t get too cocky. I’m telling you, this is Huaxia, and as long as you dare to violate the laws here, I guarantee I’ll personally arrest you!” The woman was a bit enraged by Li Chen’s teasing yet somewhat helpless. She dared not treat the King of the Netherworld lightly, even going so far as to scare off those two men earlier because if the King of the Netherworld died in Huaxia, it was likely that the masters from the Palace of the Nether King would tear Huaxia apart.

“What about Huaxia? Don’t you know that I am a Huaxia person? This is my motherland!”

“You…” At this, the woman was stunned by Li Chen’s words. The mighty King of the Netherworld was actually a person from Huaxia; this news was too significant, the impact on her immense, and she couldn’t accept it immediately.

“You must be a Dragon Soul, right? Do you know someone named Ouyang Wan’er? I want to meet her; can you arrange it?” Li Chen did not care about the woman’s inner shock, expressing his request. Now that the Z substance was gone, there was probably only one way to control the mysterious power inside his body, and that method was in the hands of a person called Ouyang Wan’er.

“Alright… I can pass on the message for you, but as for whether she wants to see you or not, I can’t promise.” After hearing that Li Chen was from Huaxia, the woman’s tone improved a lot.

“That’s enough; she will definitely meet me. Qilin Princess, your figure is so good, how come your chest is so flat?” Li Chen said with a laugh and then turned around and walked toward a spot not far away. The woman was still in shock because Li Chen had just called out her name. Qilin Princess, that was her rank on the Earth Ranking. But hearing the latter half of the remark, her expression changed instantly, though no one could see it. “Damn it, how dare you say my chest is flat! I was just worried that letting them show would scare you all to death!”
