My gorgeous wife
Chapter 66 - 66 57 Cold Bloodlust

66: Chapter 57: Cold Bloodlust 66: Chapter 57: Cold Bloodlust “Haha, I’ve said it all along, today, with my power alone as the Ghost King, I’m enough to make you disappear from this world,” the Ghost King laughed heartily.

Li Chen’s face turned somewhat unsightly because around him, figures appeared, all of them the Ghost King!

What’s going on?

Why are there so many Ghost Kings?

The number of Ghost Kings surrounding him was nearly twenty.

The Ghost King’s strength was above the Earth Ranking.

If facing one Ghost King, Li Chen could naturally kill with one move, but if it were twenty-something Ghost Kings together, that would be a bit difficult for Li Chen, and the most crucial thing was, he felt the injury in his body stirring.

Although Third Grandpa had helped him with healing, he could use True Qi within a month, but that was based on not consuming a large amount of it.

Today, however, he had indeed used quite a bit of True Qi.

And what if there were even more Ghost Kings?

So many Ghost Kings could exhaust him to death.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly surveyed the situation around him, already aware that this was probably the opponent’s trap.

A trap specifically set for him!

He finally understood why the Ghost King had been so rampant earlier; killing one Ghost King, a thousand others appear.

With so many Ghost Kings, how could they ever be killed?

Looking at the Ghost Kings around him, Li Chen spoke indifferently, “So, this is your trap?

Clones?”

“Indeed, even if you are the King of the Netherworld, it’s more than enough to deal with you, don’t think I don’t know about the injury you carry,” the Ghost King laughed heartily, “This is where you will be buried.”

Li Chen remained silent.

“To tell you the truth, if it wasn’t for some help from inside your lab back then, I couldn’t have really figured out the clone technology,” the Ghost King, obviously confident of victory, said, “Didn’t you want to kill me before?

I’m standing right here now.

Come on, King of the Netherworld, don’t disappoint me, show your might.”

The Ghost Kings all laughed in unison and instantly, the whole area echoed with the Ghost King’s laughter.

“Even if they are clones, ants, after all, are still ants,” Li Chen said aloofly.

After that, he no longer hesitated and charged toward one of the Ghost Kings.

Seeing Li Chen make a move, those Clone Ghost Kings all charged at Li Chen from all directions with some even leaping from above, trying to slash Li Chen on the spot.

Li Chen moved like the wind, landing a palm strike on the throat of the Ghost King in front of him and then, swiftly dodging the attack of the Ghost King to his left, he smashed a fist into his ribs, sending the foe flying in an instant.

Another Ghost King suddenly pounced on Li Chen.

Li Chen’s hands tore at him, pulling him down and flinging him away, but that Ghost King already held a dagger in his hand, plunging it toward Li Chen’s arm!

They didn’t need to deliver a killing blow now; all they had to do was injure Li Chen, then as time passed, Li Chen would naturally become slower until he was full of openings!

The previously injured Ghost Kings also stood up again, and Li Chen’s eyes tightened, “Zombie drug!”

Clearly, the Ghost King wouldn’t rest until he killed Li Chen today.

Li Chen felt his heart sink.

He continuously sensed the Ghost King’s presence from all around him, as if endless, no matter how many he killed, the Ghost Kings lingered at his side.

Li Chen had killed five Ghost Kings, killed them completely, but the remaining Ghost Kings were still ready to attack, making Li Chen feel the strain, especially as the True Qi within him was rapidly depleting.

He also felt overwhelmed, and to make matters worse, without the suppression of the True Qi, the injury within him began to stir.

Li Chen’s situation was akin to being troubled from within and without.

Suddenly, Li Chen took a kick to his back, and instantly, as if seeing an opening, the Ghost Kings attacked like a storm.

Li Chen fought hard to repel all the Ghost Kings in front, but those to his sides and back, like moths that did not fear death, preferred to get injured if it meant wounding Li Chen!

“Whoosh,”

A dagger sliced through Li Chen’s clothes, and immediately, his upper garment was torn apart.

In that moment, a Ghost King slammed hard onto Li Chen’s shoulder.

Although Li Chen reacted swiftly, seizing his right hand and throwing him away, thereby toppling the surrounding Ghost Kings to the ground, the Ghost King had already attacked his arm.

Li Chen gasped for air.

His internal injury was now extremely difficult to suppress; the energy within him was like a surging tide, as if it would consume him at any moment.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and the Ghost Kings had already encircled him.

“Haha, the King of the Netherworld can’t take it anymore.”

The area filled with the Ghost King’s boisterous laughter, but at this time, the Ghost King was not in a hurry.

“How does it feel, just by myself today, I can make you vanish from the world, King of the Netherworld!” As the Ghost King finished speaking, he instantly kicked out, but Li Chen’s eyes flashed coldly.

As the kick came, his left middle finger protruded sharply, striking hard at the inside of the thigh of the Ghost King, making him feel his leg bend and collapse straight in front of Li Chen.

This leg was effectively disabled by Li Chen’s blow!

“Defiant in the face of futility, King of the Netherworld.

I know you are a Huaxia person, there’s a saying from Huaxia, what is it?

‘Resistance when death is imminent,’ give up resisting, and I will grant you a swift end and a decent burial!”

A few Ghost Kings rushed up at once, and Li Chen tried hard to resist, but the energy inside him began to rage, and in an instant, it felt as though his senses were gone.

At that moment, the attack of the Ghost Kings all struck!

“Thud,”

Li Chen felt a blow to his chest and when trying to fend off the strike from behind, suffered yet another hit to his back, sending him stumbling forward.

At the same time, two Ghost Kings, one on each side, smashed down on both of his arms, and then another kick from the Ghost Kings targeted his legs.

The attack had not yet ended when, all of a sudden, a Ghost King’s elbow struck viciously against Li Chen’s head, sending him crashing to the ground.

The intense agony from his injuries and the rampaging energy inside his body made Li Chen feel like he was teetering on the edge of death.

He had never felt death so close before, as if it were just an arm’s reach away, so close that he could see death’s stark face!

It seemed to be calling out to him, why not give up?

To give up would be to find ease…

“Haha, King of the Netherworld, if I am but an ant, then what does that make you, to be bitten to death by an ant?

Hahaha.”

The arrogant and grating laughter penetrated Li Chen’s ears, and he instantly snapped back to clarity in his mind.

No, he couldn’t die, not at the hands of this traitor!

Li Chen’s senses sharpened for a moment, but then the intense pain surged over him like a tidal wave, threatening to drown him in agony and knock him unconscious.

“What’s the matter, King of the Netherworld?

Aren’t you quite formidable?

You want to kill me, then come and try!” The Ghost King, seeing Li Chen lying on the ground almost unconscious, laughed even louder, and several other Ghost Kings kicked him repeatedly.

“I can’t die here!” Li Chen’s mind was resolute, he absolutely couldn’t die here.

He kept telling himself this over and over, but the rampaging energy inside him made it feel like he was about to lose all strength in his body.

What to do?

Li Chen suppressed the pain and began thinking rapidly when suddenly, like a bolt of lightning striking through his mind,

hadn’t Third Grandpa given him a precious Pill that day, telling him to swallow it only in a moment of grave danger?

Li Chen immediately remembered, struggling to reach for the Pills on his person, but suddenly, the Ghost King’s kicks came one after another.

The energy within him was still raging, the pain growing ever more intense, and with the added attacks from the Ghost King, it was extremely difficult for Li Chen to get to the Pills.

I cannot die at the hands of a traitor!

Li Chen practically gritted his teeth as he told himself, his left hand trembling slightly as he pulled out that Pill from the pocket inside his shirt, then, using nearly the last of his strength, he swallowed it!

Seeing the King of the Netherworld swallow something, the Ghost King laughed, “What’s the matter?

Even the mighty King of the Netherworld has to rely on medicine?

Right, I forgot, you haven’t healed from your injuries; you’re basically a walking medicine box.”

After the derisive laughter, “Well then, dear Ghost King, it’s about time we said goodbye.”

Then, several Ghost Kings raised their daggers, but at that moment, as Li Chen swallowed the Pill, he felt a tremendous power being released from the Pill, which then flowed down his throat, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

As the Pills’ medicinal properties took effect, almost instantaneously, the rampaging power inside him suddenly met its nemesis and became docile, and wherever the medicinal properties reached, not only did Li Chen’s pain vanish, but also vast True Qi was released!

In just an instant, Li Chen felt the lost True Qi return, even more abundant than before, and his internal injuries were once more suppressed, his condition even better than earlier.

It was at this moment that the Ghost Kings’ daggers were coming down towards Li Chen!

A gleam flashed in Li Chen’s eyes, he slapped his palm on the ground, and his figure moved as fast as lightning.

With a Thomas spin, his foot shot towards the oncoming daggers, deflecting all the attacks, and the daggers were kicked away.

Li Chen’s sudden counter-attack caught the Ghost King by surprise, and by this time, Li Chen had jumped up, leaving his prior position.

“Indeed, it’s time to say goodbye!” Li Chen’s eyes were filled with a chilling light, his intent to kill utterly undisguised!

The Ghost King sensed something different about Li Chen but couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

Li Chen’s form was as quick as lightning as he charged at the Ghost Kings, catching the falling daggers with both hands, then, while the daggers seemed to move slowly, they struck with the speed of lightning, stabbing directly towards the brain stems of two Ghost Kings!

“Pfft”

The daggers pierced their skulls, Li Chen pulled out the daggers, then he flung them, striking two more Ghost Kings in the head, and at this time, Li Chen grabbed a Ghost King by the throat with one hand and twisted forcefully, breaking the Ghost King’s neck with a single hand.

The Ghost Kings tried to resist, tried to dodge Li Chen’s assaults, but they found it was completely useless.

The Li Chen before them had seemed to become a different person, terrifyingly formidable, and his movements were too fast, his strikes too ruthless–a single move could end their lives.

Li Chen’s current state could be described as prime, completely unfettered—this was the true embodiment of the King of the Netherworld!

Where the King of the Netherworld stands, why fear the Ghost King?

Ranked thirty-eight on the Earth Ranking, you dare to be insolent in my presence?

Li Chen’s gaze was cold as ice, and like a slaughter, with each move, a Ghost King died.

In almost an instant, all the Ghost Kings who had taken the zombie drug lay dead by Li Chen’s hand, not one spared.

On the ruins of the dilapidated factory, only Li Chen stood alone, surrounded by the bodies of dozens of slain Ghost Kings!

When the King of the Netherworld rages, corpses span for miles!
