"Are you out of your mind?"
Li Chen didn’t even glance at Kuang Rui’s gloomy face and casually said: "If I win, I leave. If you win, I’ll work for you. Do you think I’m stupid, or are you just naturally this dumb?"
"You..." Kuang Rui’s handsome face darkened even more upon hearing Li Chen’s words.
Li Chen’s face, however, showed not the slightest fear, and he chuckled: "How about we change the terms? If you win, I’ll let you leave. If I win, you follow me?"
Kuang Rui fell silent. His previous statement was actually made without much thought.
But now that he thought about it, it seemed indeed a bit off.
You should know, for people like them, the threat posed by ordinary people is almost non-existent. So Kuang Rui’s threat might work on the average person, but for Li Chen, it was nothing more than a joke.
"So, what do you want to bet on?" Kuang Rui asked Li Chen with a grim face.
A contemplative look appeared on Li Chen’s face.
"Actually, I don’t have the habit of making bets with people because, in most of my past battles, losing meant losing everything. Therefore, I’ve always been winning," Li Chen said, tilting his head. "How about we bet our lives?"
As soon as Li Chen’s voice fell, everyone around was thrown into an uproar.
Through the dialogue between Li Chen and Kuang Rui, they finally understood that this man was a terrifying existence on par with the boss, someone too far beyond their reach.
At least, no one among them believed they could confront such a fearsome fellow.
Even all of them together would not stand a chance.
Because, this was already tested when Kuang Rui first showed up here.
But now, these two powerhouses were actually betting their lives?
"These guys, they really are madmen," Luo Zhi Tao muttered to himself standing not too far away.
Kuang Rui, after hearing Li Chen’s words, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!! Alright!! What an exciting bet," Kuang Rui said, his handsome face turning incredibly ferocious as he looked at Li Chen.
"Then... let’s bet our lives!!" Having said that, Kuang Rui strode towards the fighting ring in the center of the nightclub.
"This guy really is a madman," the same phrase echoed in Li Chen’s heart.
He wasn’t just talking nonsense, but in his heart, he truly harbored such thoughts.
This guy attacked Jiangyang Company and indirectly harmed two girls; Li Chen had already resolved to seek vengeance.
And upon seeing him, Li Chen became even more certain of his intention.
You should know, although Li Chen’s primary learning as a child was martial arts, he also learned some other things.
Among them was Fourth Grandfather’s fortune-telling skill.
Although he hadn’t learned much of the essence, he knew a little about physiognomy.
This guy might seem average at a glance, but from the previous dialogue and some physiognomic patterns, Li Chen concluded that this was someone who held grudges.
Li Chen always believed in completely rooting out his enemies. Against such a person, he would definitely not give a second chance.
So, he had already made a decision in his heart.
He must kill Kuang Rui!
It wasn’t because his murderous intent was too strong, but because he had a firm personal will in his heart that wouldn’t be easily shaken.
Once he identified an enemy, he would never show mercy.
He too stepped towards the central fighting ring.
"Let’s settle the score right here!" Kuang Rui looked at Li Chen, his eyes becoming more excited.
"That’s right, this feeling. The sense of crisis, urgency, and thrill. This is what I’ve been searching for a long time... the true exhilaration and novelty!"
Li Chen looked at this man and just gently shook his head.
Up to now, Li Chen had a rough speculation about Kuang Rui’s background, especially after mentioning the ’Enchanted World’. Li Chen was nearly completely certain about it.
In the current country, it’s quite difficult for Martial Artists to cultivate True Qi. Even the Nether Army under Li Chen relies on Raw Stones to have reached their current level of cultivation.
Li Chen could somewhat guess that someone like Kuang Rui, was probably similar to Jiang Bingyu and Yao Chou, having emerged from some sealed place.
So far, Li Chen knew of two places that were isolated from the ordinary world’s space.
One is Relic, the other is Holy Mountain.
And Li Chen also felt that nearly all those who came from these spaces possessed quite impressive cultivation.
At the same time, Li Chen also thought of another piece of news.
It was what Xia Feng said, that on the land of the country, more and more powerful individuals are emerging.
"What does this all represent, could it really be just coincidental?" Li Chen’s heart started feeling uneasy.
"Where are you looking?!" Just at that moment, a shout suddenly came from beside Li Chen.
Li Chen’s body slightly shifted to the side, and Kuang Rui, clenching his fist, whizzed past him.
The wind from the fist roared by Li Chen’s side, and Li Chen’s expression turned somewhat contemplative.
At the same time, Kuang Rui attacked Li Chen once again.
This time, it was not just a single blow; Kuang Rui launched a storm-like assault on Li Chen.
Numerous afterimages of his arms appeared, striking Li Chen furiously.
Yet Li Chen simply crossed his arms in front of him.
His face, slightly tilted downwards, showed a trace of annoyance.
Within Li Chen’s body, the poison that had previously calmed down, suddenly started to spread again.
Originally, the poison had made the circulation of True Qi through his meridians somewhat sluggish. This time, the poison penetrated several of Li Chen’s meridians in one go, making it impossible for him to muster his True Qi at all.
Kuang Rui’s punch landed heavily on Li Chen’s abdomen, knocking Li Chen down to the ground.
Looking down at Li Chen, a look of disdain and disappointment appeared in Kuang Rui’s eyes: "What’s the matter? With this little strength, you still want to duel with me?"
Hearing these words, Li Chen smiled helplessly, brushed the dust off his body, and slowly stood up.
Although he was temporarily unable to mobilize True Qi, that didn’t mean a simple Yellow Rank Martial Artist could easily humiliate him.
"I was slightly distracted just now. Let’s start properly now." Li Chen waved his hand and a smile formed on his lips.
