Watching the few people blocking his way, Li Chen didn’t act impulsively but calmly asked, "Are you all from the outside?"
"Why waste words? We’re the ones asking you questions now!"
A domineering voice broke through, as one among them launched a beam of True Yuan towards Li Chen’s face without a word, seemingly wanting to slap Li Chen to show his prowess.
However, Li Chen only flashed his figure, and the Five Elents Rule operated around him, making the strike fall onto his Law Defense, without even grazing him.
The strength of these prodigies was indeed formidable, but their greatness hinged upon a few points, like having deeper cultivation than others at the sa level and faster move execution.
Clearly, Li Chen possessed these qualities too!
Although Li Chen’s cultivation wasn’t higher than these two, he wasn’t soone to be easily bullied.
"Oh? You can actually block one of my moves, even though it was casually done, but having such reaction speed at the Heaven Following Realm isn’t bad." One surprised voice remarked, as the person who struck lowly went on, "Let’s see if you can take another hit. If you can manage that, I might reluctantly take you as a Battle Servant!"
Another Battle Servant!
Hearing this, Li Chen felt quite irritated.
These guys were really too arrogant; do they really think they’re invincible?
Last ti he encountered this Du Zhiteng and the blue-clothed guy, and now it’s these two again.
"Hold on."
At that mont, Li Chen suddenly waved his hand.
"What, scared even before I strike?" a cold voice questioned.
"Scared?" Li Chen chuckled, "Trade of courtesy, isn’t it fair that not just one of us gets to strike? Why don’t you try taking one of my moves?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the two youths exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.
"What did he say? Asking us, the prodigies, to take his move?"
"Interesting! Truly interesting, haven’t seen such an amusing human race in a long ti! Hahaha!"
The next mont, the youth who wanted Li Chen as a Battle Servant grew cold in his voice, "Are you worthy to let us take your move?"
Li Chen suddenly laughed.
His laughter was sowhat eerie.
"Whether you like it or not."
Without waiting for them to react, Li Chen suddenly stepped forward.
With that step, he vanished from their view completely.
"Prodigies? I think more like two fools!" Li Chen’s icy voice ca from behind them.
"Five Elents Feng Xuanxiao!"
"Boom!!"
In an instant, the fearful power of the Five Elents ford a small loop, and an ominous tornado appeared out of nowhere on the Black Soil Plain.
In an instant, it engulfed the two completely.
"Damn it! What kind of move is this?! Law of Wind? No!"
"You brat, I’ll kill you!"
Watching the two roaring within the Five Elents Feng Xuanxiao, Li Chen coldly spat out two words, "Fools!"
Indeed, he no longer had the Law of Destruction, making him much weaker in attack power, but it didn’t an he couldn’t navigate with these prodigies.
These two were hardly formidable, at best comparable to the Purple Gold Beetle Li Chen once defeated. Though Li Chen might not have any ans to kill them now, handling such opponents, whether to fight or leave, was all within his thoughts.
After so thought, Li Chen tossed down two Black Beast corpses beside the storm, glanced at the ever-darkening sky, and turned away leaving.
He believed that by nightfall, those Black Beast corpses would bring a surprise to these two.
Soon, Li Chen returned to the place where he had separated from the Li Xing Squad earlier.
However, to Li Chen’s surprise, there was nothing around, and the people from Li Xing Squad had all vanished.
Li Chen searched the area thoroughly and finally found the Li Xing Squad several miles underground.
"Why did you all co here?"
Li Chen’s sudden appearance startled them.
"We thought you weren’t coming back," Li Xing spoke sowhat speechlessly upon seeing Li Chen’s abrupt arrival.
The Martial Artist with Space Law was great in other aspects, but sotis too startling, appearing without any warning.
"Did sothing happen?" Li Chen asked.
Li Xing nodded, as there were injuries on several people’s bodies.
"We originally planned to wait for you there, and anwhile see if there were any Black Beasts. Unexpectedly, we did find the Black Beasts, but found three Heaven Following Realm ones at once." Saying this, Li Xing couldn’t help but smile wryly, "It was almost night, we didn’t want to entangle with the Black Beasts, fearing more might co, and it took a great effort to escape their chase."
Upon hearing Li Xing’s words, Li Chen nodded, indeed facing three Black Beasts would pose so difficulty for Li Xing’s team.
But managing to escape from three Black Beasts’ pursuit showed they had considerable capability.
"Didn’t I give you pills? Use them, healing with True Yuan alone could take forever." Li Chen found them all using True Yuan to heal their wounds, and shook his head speechlessly.
"Brother Li," Chen Mingjian couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Unlike you, pills are rare in the Silver Do Realm, Pill Masters even rarer. The pills you gave us may not an much to you, but to us, they might save our lives in critical tis."
Upon hearing, Li Chen silently nodded.
They reminded Li Chen of the loose cultivators back in Auspicious Clear Town.
Weren’t they the sa way?
Didn’t Hujin travel miles away to another town begging a Pill Master for a pill?
These so-called prodigies were mbers whose families didn’t know how much resources were spent to forcibly pile them up.
But could these who’ve not tasted much hardship truly reach the peak?
Yet undeniably, these people have traveled farther than the loose cultivators.
This was the stark truth.
Many loose cultivators remained stuck at the Mid-Heaven or Envy Heaven Realm, and one could be stuck for countless years, with many dying of old age without breaking through.
This was reality!
"In this world, one must strive themselves to have a chance to rise," Li Chen sighed internally.
"Once the morning cos, we’ll return to Seeking Moon City," Li Chen said.
"So soon?" Li Xing asked.
"Yes," Li Chen nodded, "Tomorrow morning we’ll head back, I believe the Wild Thorn Plains are no longer safe."
Those arriving Hundred Clans geniuses were secondary, what mattered most was a discovery Li Chen made on the road.
It was precisely this discovery that slowed him, letting those two catch up.
He found, even before nightfall, usually active only in the depths of night, the Black Beasts had begun surfacing everywhere!
