Duke Aisi returned to the castle still seething with anger, shattering precious vases and jade artifacts into clattering pieces.
"How despicable, this Immortal Master Li, truly intolerable, truly intolerable!"
Blizzard Goddess brought over a cup of ginseng tea, consoling him, "Duke, have some tea to calm your nerves!"
Feeling the tender concern from Blizzard Goddess, Duke Aisi’s rage finally subsided a bit.
After a while, Blizzard Goddess asked, "Aisi, what do you plan to do?"
Anger flared in Duke Aisi’s eyes.
"If Immortal Master Li doesn’t appreciate favors, then let him disappear forever. Just because the tiger doesn’t show its might, does he really think he can trifle with the Aisi family like we’re soft persimmons?"
Blizzard Goddess still looked worried and reminded him, "But that Immortal Master Li is no ordinary person. Even the nuclear bombs of the United States couldn’t eliminate him!"
Hearing this, Duke Aisi’s face grew solemn.
"While nuclear bombs are powerful, their attack range is too wide. They are suitable for widespread destruction, but when targeting an SSS-level powerhouse like Immortal Master Li, they are instead minimally effective!"
Duke Aisi’s explanation was sensible and reasonable. However, Blizzard Goddess was still uneasy.
Before the United States deployed the "Destructing God" nuclear bomb, organizations from the top ten assassins of the Underworld, led by Heavenly Net, had planned an ambush against him.
Wasn’t it that Immortal Master Li slaughtered them, turning even the Pacific Ocean red with blood?
Duke Aisi seemed to notice her worry and comforted, "Blizzard, don’t worry. Let me share a secret with you, my ancestor, the Dark Duke has returned."
Hearing "Dark Duke," Blizzard Goddess was shocked.
"Is he the one who assisted Queen Elizabeth I in uniting Great Britain, the founder of The Sun Never Sets Empire, the Dark Duke?"
Duke Aisi nodded proudly, replying, "Yes, he is my ancestor!"
"But it has been five hundred years, is he still..."
Blizzard Goddess could hardly believe her ears; if someone said a person could live two hundred years, maybe she’d believe it. But five hundred years overturned her understanding of the world.
Duke Aisi boasted proudly, "My ancestor once obtained a Blood Food Secret Method, consuming fresh blood to extend life. However, the need for fresh blood increases over time."
Hearing this explanation, Blizzard Goddess suddenly realized. Now she understood why those large African tribes mysteriously vanished overnight.
So it was the deed of this Dark Duke.
Thinking that there was a vampire by her side, she instantly shuddered with fear!
Duke Aisi didn’t notice the change in Blizzard Goddess’s expression, continuing self-absorbedly:
"The original intent of my ancestor was to avoid conflict with Immortal Master Li, letting him clash directly with the United States. When two tigers fight, we reap the benefits as the fisherman. But since he seeks death, let’s grant it to him!"
"What are you going to grant me?"
At that moment, a thunderous voice suddenly exploded, startling both Duke Aisi and Blizzard Goddess.
Soon, a breeze caused the doors and windows to creak, "squeak, squeak."
A young man with sharp eyebrows and clad in black, fluttering clothes appeared before them.
"Li, L-Li, Immortal Master Li, how can you be here?"
Seeing this scene, both Duke Aisi and Blizzard Goddess were shocked.
Li Chen grinned grimly, saying, "I heard that you want to leave me dead without a burial place, so I came!"
After saying that, he cast his glance towards Blizzard Goddess and grinned.
"Blizzard Goddess, we meet again!"
Blizzard Goddess, harboring deep inner fear towards Li Chen, now seeing this nightmare suddenly appear, trembled uncontrollably, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Duke Aisi raised his voice to bolster his courage.
"Immortal Master Li, this is our Aisi Castle. If you don’t leave now, I will call for help!"
Li Chen brushed his sleeves lightly and said indifferently, "In the vicinity of this ancient castle, there are a total of 128 overt guards and 56 covert guards. Four SS-level powerhouses, 24 S-level powerhouses, and the rest are all insignificant trashes, all of whom have been dealt with. Out of humanitarianism, they all went peacefully, without any pain!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Duke Aisi’s face was ashen. He had originally planned to use these guards to delay Li Chen and buy himself time to escape.
But he never expected that all the overt and covert guards in the castle would be silently taken care of by Immortal Master Li.
It was truly terrifying!
Blizzard Goddess’s mental defenses completely collapsed, and while Li Chen was not paying attention, she subconsciously tried to flee.
Li Chen glanced at her coldly and said, "I never kill women, but you are an exception!"
Before the icy words hit the ground, his fingers formed a blade, and like a gust of wind and lightning, he struck towards the Blizzard Goddess.
The blade pierced through her heart, and Blizzard Goddess spewed a mouthful of fresh blood midair. Her body softened and completely collapsed into a pool of blood.
Seeing his lover killed, Duke Aisi was greatly shocked. At the same time, he also truly believed that this reckless Immortal Master Li would dare to kill him in Europe.
However, his noble dignity did not allow him to beg for his life from Li Chen, a lower status Asian.
Duke Aisi pointed at Li Chen, gnashing his teeth as he shouted:
"Immortal Master Li, perhaps you don’t know yet, but my ancestor is the Dark Duke, one of the nine Great Commanders of the Dark World. If you dare to touch me, he will definitely grind your bones to dust!"
Before Duke Aisi’s words finished, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly grew cold, and his fingertip traced out a streaking light, performing a Sky Breaking Slash.
With a "crack," the arm that Duke Aisi was using to point at Li Chen’s nose was neatly sliced off. Blood gushed profusely, causing him intense pain.
Li Chen looked at Duke Aisi coldly and said, "You talk too much. If you don’t want to lose another arm, just quietly tell me where Mei Ruohua is now."
"Immortal Master Li, you dare..."
Before Duke Aisi could finish, Li Chen formed his fingers into a blade again and slashed off his other arm.
"Truly noisy, I’m asking you for the last time, where is Mei Ruohua? If you dare give me another useless word, I’ll take your life!"
Seeing his two blood-drenched arms, Duke Aisi truly felt fear this time.
"She, she, she’s not here, but in a secret chamber located sixty miles away from here!"
Hearing Duke Aisi’s words, Li Chen suddenly realized. His sensory reach could only cover fifty miles around him, no wonder he couldn’t locate Mei Ruohua.
"Let’s go, lead the way!"
A dark whirlwind descended from the sky.
As the whirlwind dissipated, a man dressed in a black robe appeared in front of Li Chen, his face unseen but two green eyes glowing. In his hand, he carried a frail woman like a little chicken.
And this woman, was precisely Mei Ruohua whom Li Chen was searching for.
Seeing the newcomer, Duke Aisi, like a drowning man clutching at the last straw, cried out.
"Ancestor, save me, save me!"
The man was none other than one of the founders of the Dark World, the Dark Duke!
