Chapter 1603 - 1600: Thunder, Come!
Li Chen finished speaking and suddenly reached out into the air, shouting loudly:
"Thunder, come!"
With that thunderous command from Li Chen, a bolt of lightning, stretching dozens of feet long, roared like an enraged dragon with its claws bared, crashing down from the sky.
Upon seeing such a ferocious Thunder Dragon, Wu Yong was so terrified that he fell, rolling on the ground.
In haste, he quickly swung his blade to block it.
However, under the assault of Li Chen’s Thunder Dragon, his large blade was instantly shattered.
"Ah!"
Immediately followed by a blood-curdling scream!
Before the scream even fell to the ground, Wu Yong had already been turned into a charred corpse, blackened on both the inside and outside, a sight too tragic to behold!
Just as the Forbidden Army was in a state of panic and retreat, Guard Captain Hee Wei, Ninth Prince Wu Changwen, and Du Xiang all arrived together.
When enemies meet, the response is particularly intense!
Upon seeing Li Chen, Du Xiang’s eyes immediately ignited with fierce flames.
Wu Changwen’s pupils were also filled with jealousy.
"You are Li Chen?"
Hearing Wu Changwen’s questioning, Li Chen didn’t even glance at him, but coldly replied, "Where is your King Wu Badao and National Master Zhuge Hu? Tell them to come out and see me quickly!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s disrespectful words, Commander of the Forbidden Army Hee Wei immediately stepped forward to scold him.
"Silence! How dare you, a mere rascal, speak the honorable name of our king?"
Li Chen laughed coldly, saying, "Not long ago, someone spoke to me with those same words. Unfortunately, he’s already a dead man now!"
Hearing Li Chen’s blatant threat, Hee Wei felt his face burning with shame.
"Ninth Prince, allow me to cut off this rascal’s tongue and see if he dares to spew nonsense here again!"
Hearing Hee Wei’s words, Wu Changwen nodded and replied, "Very well, this spawn is a monstrosity, Commander Hee, do be careful!"
Hee Wei bowed in acknowledgement, then picked up a Red Tassel Spear, its tip gleaming coldly as it pointed towards Li Chen.
"Rascal, prepare to die!"
With a thunderous shout, Hee Wei’s arm jolted suddenly, and the Red Tassel Spear lunged forward like a snake emerging from its hole, its scarlet tongue darting towards Li Chen.
Hee Wei, being the Commander of the Forbidden Army, was second only in power to King Wu Badao and National Master Zhuge Hu within the Royal Palace.
Therefore, both Ninth Prince Wu Changwen and Du Xiang, as well as the ordinary soldiers, had absolute confidence in him.
Du Xiang even approached Wu Changwen, biting her teeth and saying, "Ninth Prince, this rascal killed my sister. No matter what, don’t let him die too quickly!"
Wu Changwen’s gaze was filled with a chilling coldness as he gravely said, "Rest assured, I certainly won’t let him die too quickly!"
Wu Changwen’s intention wasn’t really to avenge Du Xiang’s sister.
In fact, he no longer had much interest in Du Xiang, let alone would take the initiative to stand up for her.
The reason he’s so deeply resentful of Li Chen is largely because of Xie Wanwan.
The first time he laid eyes on Xie Wanwan, he was utterly captivated.
Moreover, he was a person with an extreme desire for possession.
Thus, every time he thought of his dream goddess being desecrated by another man, a sense of madness surged in his heart.
And now that he had a chance to vent, how could he miss it?
While Wu Changwen was contemplating how to deal with Li Chen after capturing him, a thunderous boom suddenly echoed from high above.
Immediately, Hee Wei’s entire figure was hurled away like a dead dog.
The Red Tassel Spear in Hee Wei’s hand had broken into two pieces.
The half with the spear shaft was still in Hee Wei’s hand.
The half with the red tassel spearhead had already landed in Li Chen’s hand.
After fiddling with the red tassel spearhead for a moment, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly focused, and he hurled it viciously towards the direction where Hee Wei’s body fell.
Infused with Li Chen’s True Yuan, the red tassel spearhead shot through the void like an arrow off the string, hurtling towards Hee Wei.
Seeing this, Hee Wei was greatly alarmed, hurriedly gathering his power to block it.
However, his defense crumbled against Li Chen’s attack.
With just one exchange, it pierced through Hee Wei’s body, leaving him chilled to the core.
"Pfft!"
The red tassel spearhead entered Hee Wei’s front chest, pierced through the Dantian, and exited through the Life Gate on his back.
The gush of fresh blood sprayed out instantaneously, dyeing the blue sky and all the eyes present a glaring shade of red.
"Hiss!"
Witnessing such a horrifying scene, everyone present was utterly stunned, drawing in sharp breaths repeatedly.
In the eyes of many, especially the Forbidden Army, their Commander Hee Wei was an invincible god.
But to their astonishment, this War God in their minds didn’t even last two rounds in Li Chen’s hands.
Even having witnessed it with their own eyes, they found it hard to believe it was real.
As for Ninth Prince Wu Changwen and Du Xiang, they were both scared out of their wits and completely at a loss.
After successively killing the Chief and Deputy Commanders of the Forbidden Army, Li Chen nonchalantly dusted his hands and shouted towards the sky, "Wu Badao, Zhuge Hu, I, Li Chen, have come to challenge. Why haven’t you hurried to meet me?"
"What impudent scoundrel dares to be so brazen, causing a ruckus in our Royal Palace!"
Before Li Chen’s voice had even finished echoing in the void, another rumble of thunder was heard from afar.
In an instant, an elder appeared, wearing a ceremonial cap, holding a horsetail whisk, and sporting a goatee, stepping through the air.
The newcomer was none other than National Master Zhuge Hu of the Great Wu Dynasty!
"Greetings, National Master!"
As the National Master of the Great Wu Dynasty, Zhuge Hu held an extremely high position, truly being second only to one and above all others.
Therefore, upon his arrival, all the Forbidden Army knelt down in obeisance.
Zhuge Hu didn’t even spare them a glance, his gaze fixed directly on Li Chen.
Upon seeing their Master arrive, Wu Changwen, and the others felt slightly reassured and hurried to greet him.
"Master, you finally arrived. This villain Li Chen is quite the monster, even Wu Yong and Hee Wei have perished by his hand!"
Upon hearing Wu Changwen’s words, Zhuge Hu’s gaze fell upon the charred remains of Wu Yong and the impaled Hee Wei, his expression immediately darkening.
"Our Great Wu Dynasty has no grudge against you, yet you brazenly intrude on the Royal Palace, slaughtering our citizens. Do you not intend to give this National Master an explanation for such arrogance?"
Li Chen’s gaze flickered with coldness as he sternly said, "Where is the woman and child you captured from Azure Cloud Mountain? Where are they now?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhuge Hu let out a fox-like smile.
Clearly, this whole scenario was within his calculations.
In that case, as long as they controlled that woman and child, they held the leverage for negotiation.
No matter how monstrous Li Chen’s talent was, he would have to be cautious, like a puppet on strings, obediently at their mercy!
