This was the first ti Li Chen made a move after entering this coffin-like space.
Or rather, it was the first ti he used this newly comprehended power.
There wasn’t any earth-shattering montum, nor even a trace of fireworks.
But in the eyes of the Fifth Rank Black Beast, an expression of disbelief appeared.
It... retreated.
It wasn’t that it wanted to retreat, but rather as if so mysterious force was pulling it back.
It wanted to resist this pulling force, but quickly realized that this force contained a mighty montum, one it could not comprehend at all.
As if at this mont, it must retreat!
Only by retreating would it comply with the rules of heaven and earth; if it did not, the consequences would be unbearable!
In terms of speed, Li Chen’s move was not particularly fast, but it was tid perfectly to make the Black Beast retreat just as it approached Li Youxue.
In terms of power, it was even more calm and uneventful, not even showing any peculiar glimrs, as if it simply made the Black Beast retreat.
"Aooowl!!"
The Fifth Rank Black Beast involuntarily retreated back to its starting point and let out a terrifying roar.
Mo Wushang and Jing Invincible showed expressions of disbelief.
Because they clearly saw that the Black Beast actually retreated step by step along the trajectory of Li Chen’s sudden move.
Such a bizarre event, even for them, was a first encounter.
And at this mont, they finally noticed the figure in the distance.
"Brother Li?!"
"Li Chen? Are you alright?"
Li Chen did not respond to their words; his consciousness had begun to awaken but had not fully woken up—this was a gradual process.
The seal Li Chen had placed on himself was too fierce, so even waking up required a continuous process.
But no matter what, he was... waking up.
No one saw how he moved, but the next mont, he appeared eerily in front of Li Youxue.
Li Chen’s voice sounded a little hoarse, perhaps because he hadn’t spoken for so long.
"You... are Li Youxue?"
Li Youxue looked at Li Chen, her eyes bursting with astonishing brilliance and joy.
But upon hearing Li Chen’s words, she displayed a look of disbelief.
"What’s wrong with you?" In Li Youxue’s eyes appeared a trace of incredulity.
Had he lost his mory?
How was that possible?
Where had he gone all this ti, and what had he encountered? How had it co to this? Could he even have forgotten himself? But why did he still rember my na?
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Youxue’s mind montarily, but in the end, she still gently nodded.
"Found..." The bewildernt in Li Chen’s eyes gradually diminished, becoming clearer, although he had already rembered before Li Youxue nodded, he still had not fully recovered.
And at this mont, the distant Fifth Rank Black Beast let out another furious roar.
In no ti, the surrounding Black Beasts, including the Fifth Rank Black Beast, went berserk.
It was easily seen that the eyes of these Black Beasts, already bloodshot, now flashed with a dark red color full of endless killing intent.
These things were going mad!
Even the Fifth Rank Black Beast seed to receive so command, releasing its terrifying power at any cost.
Such power absolutely could not be matched by a small Heaven Following Realm!
No matter how strong this Heaven Following Realm was, it wouldn’t be enough!
Not even Li Chen!
But at this mont, Li Chen’s eyes beca increasingly clear.
"Brother Mo, Brother Jing, co over," Li Chen shouted loudly.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the two didn’t hesitate much, quickly flashing over to Li Chen’s side; they couldn’t hold out much longer against the Fifth Rank Black Beast.
"I encountered so issues before, so I left temporarily. I thank you for taking care of my sister."
The two quickly waved their hands; since the deed was done, it should be done straightforwardly. Otherwise, people would look down on them. Using it as a favor to coerce Li Chen was sothing they would not do.
"Brother Li, it’s truly good to see you again, but right now our situation is quite dire," Mo Wushang said with a bitter smile, looking at the rampaging Black Beasts around.
"Brother..." Li Youxue stood behind Li Chen, hesitated, and eventually called out.
An unusual brilliance burst from Li Chen’s eyes.
Though he claid not to care, could Li Chen truly be indifferent to his family?
Seeing Li Youxue, Li Chen smiled and reached out to pat her head.
Li Youxue seed slightly uncomfortable with this intimacy, but for so reason, she did not avoid Li Chen’s hand.
Looking at the people beside him, Li Chen’s face revealed a faint smile: "Trust , I’ve been through situations even more dangerous than now, more than once. Yet, I’m still alive."
Li Chen didn’t boast, but his words carried a strong and assured tone.
Indeed, compared to many nearly hopeless situations he had experienced, the current threat, although significant, was not completely unmanageable.
Moreover...
"Don’t worry. We’ll be able to leave here soon." Li Chen said with a light laugh.
Mo Wushang and Jing Invincible looked at Li Chen, their expressions sowhat confused.
It’s just that, in their impression, Li Chen seed never to have made empty boasts.
But in their current predicant, how were they supposed to leave?
Could it be that Li Chen had so hidden card to instantaneously teleport them away, perhaps the Power of Space?
However, that’s impossible! There’s a Fifth Rank Black Beast here, with cultivation far higher than theirs, and even if Li Chen possessed the Power of Space, he might easily be intercepted by that Fifth Rank Black Beast.
To leave alone would be difficult enough, let alone with so many people.
Yet, what confidence did he have to say such things?
Mo Wushang had always admired Li Chen greatly. Because he could tell that Li Chen did not possess any of those legendary powerful constitutions, nor was he like those geniuses cultivated in seclusion by various clans.
You could even say that when this man took action, he always exuded a kind of ’maverick’ aura.
But even so, this man, at the Early Stage of Heaven Following Realm, personally defeated a mber of the Purple Gold Beetle clan, who possessed extraordinary talent at the Late Stage!
This kind of individual, who relied not on talent and didn’t have a big backing yet was so powerful, Mo Wushang felt was a true character!
He was almost certain that if Li Chen didn’t die, in the future, not just in the Heaven Realm, but even among the few giants of the Tian Shang Star Continent, Li Chen would undoubtedly have a place.
This was his intuition as a Five-clawed Golden Dragon!
Even though Li Chen was speaking words that seed almost impossible, for so inexplicable reason, Mo Wushang still chose to believe him.
"What should we do now?" Mo Wushang asked.
Jing Invincible also looked at Li Chen. Although he didn’t speak, he still harbored so doubts in his heart.
"You don’t have to do anything." Li Chen smiled: "Just prepare to leave."
Just as the others wanted to speak, the Black Beasts surged toward Li Chen and the others like a tide.
This was a true beast tide, dark and dense like a flood. Now, the number of Black Beasts surrounding them had already reached thousands, and even adding the Fifth Rank Black Beast, their strength was almost enough to attack a small town.
Yet, the target of these Black Beasts was simply Li Chen and the few of them who were not even at the Higher Heaven Realm.
From all perspectives, it seed like they were dood.
Strangely, the Fifth Rank Black Beast wasn’t in a hurry to attack, as if it was wary of sothing, watching Li Chen from afar, a cunning glint in its eyes.
"Numbers? Do they matter?" Li Chen murmured to himself with indifference.
Before, when he attacked the Fifth Rank Black Beast, it was just a test, and he hadn’t fully awakened yet.
But now, as mories surged back and his consciousness returned to his body, Li Chen’s understanding of his recent insights grew deeper.
"The key is not in slaughter, but in understanding the reason for slaughter..."
Li Chen whispered to himself, even the people behind him were unsure of what he was muttering, but seeing the Black Beasts approaching, they were on high alert, ready to act at any mont.
"I do not wish for slaughter now."
Li Chen suddenly lifted his head, and in his pupils appeared rings of golden light.
Such radiance, even a casual glance could cause an ordinary person to faint. Even Martial Artists would likely not dare to stare into Li Chen’s eyes for long.
Because, this was an extraordinary power.
At the sa ti, it was a new power that Li Chen had comprehended.
It was as though he completely ignored the abundance of Black Beasts around him.
Li Chen gently raised his hand, lightly vibrating his blade.
"Buzz——"
A profound aura rippled outwards like waves around them.
The ripple swept through all the surrounding Black Beasts, even passing over the Fifth Rank Black Beast.
This ripple seed non-existent, as if impossible to defend against, just lightly passing by.
But all the Black Beasts ceased moving the instant the ripple passed.
They beca like statues, vividly lifelike.
So Black Beasts were even frozen in mid-air, maintaining their pouncing stance.
The Fifth Rank Black Beast, although showing signs of struggle in its eyes, appeared to be immobilized by an irresistible force, unable to move a muscle.
"This... what is this?!" Mo Wushang’s eyes were filled with shock, even as a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, witnessing Li Chen’s bizarre power left him deeply unsettled.
"What kind of power is this?" Jing Invincible was even more astonished, looking at Li Chen with involuntary awe in his eyes.
Li Chen smiled faintly, "This is the result of my cultivation during this period. Consider it my new Blade Style. Just now, I nad it — Cease Spear."
