Li Chen’s words angered many people.
But at the same time, Li Chen’s strength had indeed shocked quite a few.
That was a powerhouse ranked fifty-six on the Heavenly Ranking, yet he was slapped away like that. Could this be the strength of someone on the Main God Ranking?
"Hmph! It was nothing more than a sneak attack!" Another person stood out, looking at Li Chen with an expression as if he had seen through everything.
"Since your first move, it has been a sneak attack. The same went for when you faced Mathews. As the King of the Netherworld, a strong contender on the Main God Ranking, is sneak attacking all you’re capable of?"
"And who might you be?" Li Chen looked at this fellow, his face revealing a trace of surprise.
"Heavenly Ranking number forty-three, Mad Fist Lao!"
"King of the Netherworld, everyone says you’re powerful, but in my view, that’s all there is to it. Aside from sneak attacks, do you dare to take a punch from me head-on?" Lao looked at Li Chen, his face showing disdain as if Li Chen wouldn’t dare accept his challenge.
"Fine, I’ll take it," Li Chen nodded.
Seeing Li Chen nod, Lao slightly turned his head, his face revealing a scarcely discernible sinister color.
What he was best at was his heavy punches. Many enemies had lost their combat power under his punches, and even some with higher rankings than him on the Heavenly Ranking didn’t dare to take his punches head-on.
He had deliberately used the Provocation Method to get Li Chen to engage in head-on combat so that he could use his advantage to the fullest.
"The glory of the Main God Ranking belongs to me!" Lao roared inwardly.
"King of the Netherworld, if you’re not a coward, take my punch head-on!" Looking at Li Chen, Lao suddenly roared, his muscles tensing instantly, concentrating all his strength in his arm and hurling a punch towards Li Chen.
Watching Lao charging towards him, Li Chen’s face remained calm, not even gathering any strength, as he raised his own arm to meet Lao’s punch.
"You’ve fallen into my trap!"
Seeing Li Chen’s movement, Lao couldn’t help but laugh loudly inside.
He wanted this kind of direct collision. In his view, his heavy punches had reached the human limit. Even those on the Main God Ranking with immense strength couldn’t beat him at his own game.
So, he was filled with confidence.
In an instant, fist met fist.
The great force even produced a vibration that sounded like a wave, and many people there heard a muffled sound.
The next moment, a clear sound of bones breaking came from where the two collided.
"Lao has broken the King of the Netherworld’s arm!"
"Impressive! True to his name, Mad Fist Lao!"
However, to everyone’s astonishment, the next sound was a scream piercing through the air.
And the one screaming... was none other than Lao!
The crowd looked towards the center, where Lao was holding his own arm, screaming hoarsely. Seeing the state of his arm, everyone gasped in shock.
Was that still a human arm?
It was more like a bamboo stick snapped into several sections!
Although it hadn’t fallen off, the entire arm was broken at odd angles into several pieces, a sight so gruesome it seemed beyond surgical repair.
Looking at Lao, who was kneeling on the ground, Li Chen’s expression remained calm as he lifted a leg and kicked directly into Lao’s face.
Immediately, Lao flew out of the villa’s courtyard without making a sound.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone instinctively took a step back. If it were before, Li Chen’s words might not have had much deterrent effect.
But after Li Chen displayed his terrifying strength, no one was feeling lucky anymore.
Could the strong ones in the Main God Ranking really be this powerful?
This thought couldn’t help but arise simultaneously in their minds.
Yamamoto, standing to the side, had an especially ugly expression. He had not anticipated that things would turn out this way. So many of them were actually frightened by Li Chen to the point that they didn’t dare to step forward.
"Damn it!" Yamamoto roared in his heart.
"Attack!" Suddenly, Yamamoto raised his hand and waved at the strong ones beside him, saying, "Everyone, he is indeed strong, but no matter how strong he is, he can’t be stronger than so many of us. As long as we kill him, who will become the new Main God can still be decided by us, right?"
Upon hearing Yamamoto’s words, many people’s eyes started darting around.
Yamamoto was right, although the death of the Main God would lead to more competitors for the new Main God, they would rather face more competition than have a one-on-one fight with such a terrifying person.
"Oh?" Li Chen looked at the group of people eager to move and raised an eyebrow, "We agreed on a one-on-one, are you going back on your word now?"
"I never said I would go one-on-one with you!" Yamamoto looked at Li Chen, a fierce smile appearing on his face, "What I want is just your death. Killing you, avenging the disgrace of our Sakura Family, that is what I intend to do!"
"And what about you?" Li Chen turned to look at the group of sky-ranking experts brought by Yamamoto and asked.
"We... we just want to kill you too!" A group of people swept by Li Chen’s gaze subconsciously showed fear, but quickly, someone spoke up loudly.
Just then, a young man suddenly stood out, glanced around, and then spoke indifferently, "I came here just to challenge the King of the Netherworld, but I completely acknowledge the King of the Netherworld’s strength. I can’t do things like overpowering the few with the many."
With that, the young man began to walk towards the exit of the villa.
At this moment, Li Chen suddenly spoke up.
"Wang Bolin." The young man, surprised that it was Li Chen who was speaking, turned his head and then answered.
"Good, Wang Bolin, please wait a moment before you leave," Li Chen said with a smile.
"Wang Bolin dropped out?"
"He is a powerhouse ranked twenty-third in the sky-ranking!"
"Hmph!" Yamamoto glanced coldly at Wang Bolin and snorted, "One less doesn’t make a difference!"
"Everyone, tonight, if you kill the King of the Netherworld, you could possibly become the Main God. And if you can’t kill him, I think you all are well aware of the dangers of being marked for revenge by a Main God, right?" Yamamoto continued to incite.
Hearing Yamamoto’s words, those who were still somewhat hesitant quieted down at once.
Indeed, being remembered by a strong one, especially a Main God, was a terrifying matter. At this point, many people’s gazes towards Li Chen carried deadly intent.
Seeing the expressions of these people, Li Chen just chuckled and shook his head, then stretched out his hands and gently clapped.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The walls, which had been empty due to Yamamoto and others coming down, once again saw many figures appear.
