290: Chapter 268: Human Bomb 290: Chapter 268: Human Bomb “Of course, I won’t just kill her; I want her to be at death’s door until you arrive, and then let her die in front of you.
Only then will I be satisfied, and you, King of the Netherworld, will collapse, won’t you?
Hahaha.”
Shadow laughed wildly, and Li Chen’s heart sank; Shadow had definitely gone mad.
“If you kill her, how can you still threaten ?” Li Chen was stalling for ti, but he was also dialing Ouyang Wan’er’s number at the sa ti.
“King of the Netherworld, do you really think I haven’t thoroughly investigated you?” Shadow’s voice ca through desultorily, “You don’t just have one intimate friend.
If I kill this one, I have other options.
You have no ground to negotiate with , my master.”
At the sa ti, Ouyang Wan’er’s call connected, and Li Chen switched over, “Wan’er, locate the target of my call imdiately.
Make it quick, within one minute!”
Ouyang Wan’er was startled; she had never heard Brother Chen so urgent.
“Okay, Brother Cheen, I’ll send you the coordinates in a mont.”
After switching back, Li Chen was anxious, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Shadow, on the other end, hadn’t hung up the call, instead jeering at Li Chen, “My master, if I’m not mistaken, you must have asked for help from your friends here in Huaxia.
And those who followed earlier, they must be your friends as well.”
Li Chen frowned, surprised by Shadow’s exceptional counter-reconnaissance ability.
Had she detected even the Qilin Princess’s excellent skills?
“Don’t worry, the first ga was just proof for .
What cos next is the real ga.
I’m waiting for you, my master.
I hope you co soon because if I’m in a bad mood and scratch your beloved’s face, that would be unfortunate, wouldn’t it?”
Then, Shadow hung up the call, and right after that, Ouyang Wan’er rang him up.
“Brother Chen, I’ve got the location.
It’s not far from you, an under-construction building at 24 Peace Street, just a thousand ters ahead.”
Having got the address, Li Chen didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the location.
It was now past ten at night, and the streets were deserted, so Li Chen was able to move fast and soon arrived at the half-completed construction site.
The building was only half-constructed, the exterior scaffolding yet to be dismantled.
Li Chen walked in.
There was no construction at night, so it was incredibly dark and eerie inside, with no lights on.
He could only rely on the dim street lights or moonlight from outside.
But inside the building, darkness still dominated.
For Shadow, darkness was her stage.
The na ‘Shadow’ was chosen partly because she managed The Dark Division’s intelligence work, similar in nature, and partly because the Cultivation Technique she practiced could take advantage of the darkness.
It could be said that with and without darkness, Shadow’s strength was in two different realms, but to Li Chen, no matter how Shadow used the environnt to her advantage, she was no match for him.
In the face of absolute power, the only outco would be crushing defeat!
All the things Shadow had were given by him; The Dark Division was trained under his command; the Cultivation Technique was taught by him.
In front of him, she was nothing.
What I can give, I can also take back!
Li Chen entered the building, where steel and concrete stood all around.
The exposed steel rods jutted out like thorns on the barren ground.
Several protruding rebars were also embedded within the walls, and the floor was littered with scattered scaffolding.
The first layer was deserted, with silence enveloping the surroundings.
Li Chen slowly walked up the staircase inside to the second floor, his gaze sweeping in all directions.
His left foot stepped onto a step, but almost instantly, Li Chen’s expression changed.
His entire body leapt forward with lightning speed, as the staircase on the second floor emitted a muffled boom.
The explosion was intensely fierce, sending countless fragnts flying, and the hidden weapons and daggers that had been skillfully placed on both sides shot out.
If Li Chen had been even a step slower, he probably would have been caught.
At the sa ti, several gusts of wind rose, the weight under Li Chen’s feet increased ever so slightly, and suddenly, many weapon-wielding n in black appeared all around him, then charged at Li Chen directly!
These n in black surrounded him from all directions, and when Li Chen looked up, he realized that many more were lurking on the walls above!
This was a killing formation specifically set up for Li Chen, which had comnced the mont he set foot on the second floor.
But Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged.
If this was all they had, it was far too underestimate him.
He struck his wrist, then with a sweep of his left hand, he blasted the two approaching n in black away with his powerful True Qi.
They flew as if their bodies were no longer under their control.
The man in black rushing from the right side was t by a swift turn from Li Chen and a kick that sent him flying into the concrete, killing him instantly.
With that turn, he also dodged the dive of another man in black from above, only to be faced with another from behind.
The black-clad assailant, seeing Li Chen so close, threw his weapon aside and threw his arms open wide, hurling himself at Li Chen.
Watching this tactic, Li Chen couldn’t help but flash a hint of puzzlent.
This was no different than courting death.
The “Shadows” wouldn’t ask for anyone below experts, would they?
And would an expert make such a mistake?
But in the next mont, Li Chen heard a “hissing” sound that shocked him to the core.
He was far too familiar with it; it was the sound of a fuse burning!
That ant these n in black were rigged with explosives.
They were on a suicide mission, intending to blow both themselves and Li Chen up together!
Without hesitation, Li Chen kicked the attacker away, but the other black-clad n also pounced at him.
“Boom”
The man Li Chen had kicked off suddenly exploded, his body torn into pieces.
The powerful blast wave even shattered the steel rods in the nearby walls.
The steel rods shot out, and by a cruel twist of fate, their direction was exactly where Li Chen and the group of n in black were fighting.
Several steel rods, sharp as spears, pierced through one of the n in black from behind and then headed straight for Li Chen.
But Li Chen sidestepped slightly, avoiding the rods, and with his right hand, he grabbed one and swung it, sending another man in black’s head flying.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh”
So of the steel rods struck the concrete, others pierced the bodies of the n in black.
At the sa ti, several explosions sounded, and the n in black, who had already pulled the fuses on their bodies, failed to reach Li Chen and instead blew themselves to pieces.
Li Chen’s speed was indeed too fast; they simply couldn’t touch him.
In just a few minutes, Li Chen had wiped them all out, leaving no one behind.
