Chapter 984: Chapter 956: I am Your Grandfather
As for Yu Manfang, Luo Kai couldn’t help but look down on him.
The Yu Family that Yu Manfang hails from was never really a great family; they were just lucky enough to occupy a decent Enchanted World.
But apart from the ancestor who first took over that world, after so many years, the only Earth-level powerhouse they’ve produced is Yu Manfang, and Luo Kai couldn’t help but look down on him.
Who was he? An elder from the Holy Mountain!
Although he had only recently beco an elder, just like Yu Manfang, who was also Earth-level, he didn’t see Yu Manfang as his opponent.
This was sothing he predicted from Yu Manfang’s battle with Li Chen.
Perhaps this Li Chen was indeed formidable, having been quite extraordinary ever since his na appeared before them.
Nonetheless, no matter how extraordinary, he was only at the Profound Level! No matter how strong a Profound Level is, how could it possibly contend with an Earth Level?
Yet, Yu Manfang managed to achieve this perfectly, repeatedly letting a re Profound Level slip from under his nose.
While this may suggest that Li Chen is very strong, it also implies that Yu Manfang’s strength is indeed just that.
As for the events at the marketplace, for so unknown reason, Zi Zhao hadn’t spread the word of that battle, so currently, Luo Kai wasn’t aware of Li Chen’s escape from Zi Zhao.
If he knew about this matter, he might indeed start to view Li Chen in a new light.
After all, Zi Zhao… was indeed bound by a contract!
Watching Yu Manfang leave, Luo Kai paid no mind but began to ponder things after dealing with Li Chen.
This ti, it wasn’t just about dealing with Li Chen.
They had bigger objectives!
…
Three days passed swiftly.
Three days, this was the ti Luo Kai gave Li Chen.
Not only ti for Li Chen but also ti for their own preparations.
They were the vanguard from the Holy Mountain; while eliminating Li Chen was a priority, they also needed to secretly control a city to establish a foothold for the future dominion of the Holy Mountain.
“Although the plan has a slight change, it seems this city will do.” Luo Kai said softly, gazing into the distance at Linchuan, as if he didn’t care at all about the upcoming war.
And in truth, he really didn’t care much.
Li Chen’s side didn’t have any Earth-level experts; he had already investigated this. The strongest among them was only Li Chen, a Profound Level.
And the so-called old monsters of the Li Family that Yu Manfang ntioned were restricted by a covenant, so they couldn’t possibly appear.
Of course, they were also prepared. If those old monsters were really planning to make a move, soone would naturally handle them.
Indeed, although many had not shown themselves, there were still many keeping a covert eye on the situation here.
“Why hasn’t that little brat shown up? Is he really just going to run away, watching his own woman die?” Yu Manfang stood beside Luo Kai, growing impatient after over an hour of waiting.
Luo Kai silently glanced at Yu Manfang, a trace of disdain curling at the corner of his mouth.
He couldn’t understand how soone like Yu Manfang had managed to cultivate to the Earth Level.
Of course, this also related to his lack of understanding of Yu Manfang’s experiences. Having faced Li Chen, this kind of monstrous person, several tis, Yu Manfang managing to endure without breaking was already quite an impressive State of Mind.
After nearly half an hour more, figures finally started to appear in the distance.
“They’re here!” Yu Manfang’s eyes glead with unmasked killing intent.
“They’re here.” Luo Kai nodded slightly, unperturbed.
In the distance, among the group of people, Li Chen’s figure appeared in their sight.
Behind Li Chen, a number of Nether Army soldiers descended, including those cloaked entirely in black robes, also marching silently.
“A decent montum, but in the end, just a bunch of ants.” Looking at Li Chen and the others who appeared, a cold smile crept into Luo Kai’s eyes: “Seems like he’s still trying to struggle until the end.”
Lowering the hands that were clasped behind his back, Luo Kai coldly said: “That works too, saves the trouble of picking them off one by one afterward!”
Very soon, Li Chen approached not far from Luo Kai and the others, his eyes narrowing slightly.
It appeared as though he was sizing up Luo Kai and the others, but in reality, Li Chen was looking for the location of Lin Yi and the others.
He didn’t use True Qi to probe, also because he was well aware that the two Earth-level experts standing before him would notice imdiately if he tried.
“So, you’re Li Chen?” Luo Kai looked at Li Chen, speaking arrogantly.
“I’m your grandpa.” Li Chen said calmly.
Silence.
The surroundings fell into a strange silence, though among the Holy Mountain disciples, many instinctively covered their mouths, yet through the gaps in their fingers, a sound similar to a leaking balloon could faintly be heard.
“Arrogant, conceited, speaking out of turn, and so eager to seek death, it seems you are indeed Li Chen.” Luo Kai’s expression darkened.
Yu Manfang said nothing, mindful of his previous losses in this area.
“That’s right, I am your grandpa Li.”
“Pfft—”
Finally, soone couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud, and the one who laughed was even a disciple from the Holy Mountain side.
Luo Kai turned his gaze darkly, and the disciple imdiately felt a chill in his heart, quickly covering his mouth with both hands.
On Li Chen’s side, although no one laughed out loud, they made no effort to restrain themselves, each wearing an unhidden look of mockery.
“Yu Manfang, losing to soone like this, I really feel it’s not worth it for you.” Luo Kai stopped speaking to Li Chen and instead turned to Yu Manfang.
Yu Manfang remained silent.
“Old man, even uneducated thugs in the streets know not to involve family in their grievances. Given your stature in the Holy Mountain, surely, you’re literate? Yet you commit such despicable acts; doesn’t that make you a grandson?” Li Chen spoke, unmindful of Luo Kai’s expression.
Luo Kai’s face grew increasingly stormy.
“In truth, I wouldn’t even acknowledge a grandson like you. If I had a grandson like you, I’d have drowned you in a latrine early on, to prevent you from causing harm in the future.” Li Chen mocked.
Veins bulged on Luo Kai’s forehead, clearly on the verge of losing control.
At this mont, Yu Manfang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: “Calm down, he’s provoking you, it’s his usual tactic.”
Hearing Yu Manfang’s words, Luo Kai was taken aback, slightly altering his opinion of Yu Manfang.
Yet, he failed to notice a palm-sized black praying mantis quietly departing from Li Chen’s group at his feet.
