Zai bowed his head and followed behind Li Chen, saying, "Master, there's a human presence here. Should we remove it?"
Li Chen frowned and remained silent.
Have we arrived yet?
The presence of humans indicates that they are very close to the city and are finally heading back inland.
However, the current situation is that even he himself is unclear about Inner Mongolia's attitude towards him, since he was sent to the Sinful Pass a year ago and he doesn't know what crime he committed.
And now he has suddenly returned to the inland.
Should we face everything as our true selves, or as someone else?
While he was still thinking...
Three figures appeared from the Black Mist ahead; it was Sunjie and her group. However, they were somewhat surprised to see Li Chen.
Sunjie stopped and looked at Li Chen, pondering, "Hmm? We're almost thirty miles from the city, and there are still people hunting here? Could they be bounty hunters like me?"
"But the man doesn't look very old. Could he be the young master of some family?"
After all, she had sharp eyes and noticed the masked figure behind Li Chen. She assumed it was a bodyguard, since Li Chen's hair was long but his handsome face was still clearly visible, making it hard not to suspect him.
The man following Sunjie, however, exchanged a murderous glint in his eyes with another man, his hand unconsciously reaching for the small knife at his waist, ready to strike at any moment.
Encountering a fellow traveler in the Black Mist is the most terrifying thing.
Because bounty hunters are only interested in money, and once they leave the city, the outside world is no longer under human control; if they die, they die.
Li Chen also looked at the three of them.
Three humans from the Looking River Realm?
It was somewhat unexpected, but not much. After all, in Li Chen's memory, Looking River Realm was now just like an ordinary person, only with a little more power.
The calamity's lips curled into a wild smile as he asked, "Master, should we kill him?"
After traveling for a long time, Li Chen was unwilling to fly.
They could only advance slowly, their bloodlust almost bursting within them. The rare sight of even a few humans had already inspired countless artistic creations in their minds; now, all they needed was a single command.
Li Chen glanced at him but ignored him. With a slight twitch of his finger, the men found themselves unable to move.
Sunjie's expression changed drastically.
I knew I had encountered the worst-case scenario.
That would mean encountering Evil Cult in the Black Mist, or a bounty hunter who is ruthless in killing his own kind.
Use the ability immediately.
Her thighs began to swell, her muscles burst, and even her leather pants ripped.
Just when she thought she could break free of the binding force with brute force, her thigh suddenly lost all feeling.
Click~
My bone is broken...
Pfft~
Sunjie coughed up blood, looking at the man slowly approaching her, filled with utter despair.
What kind of monster have I encountered?
She was completely crushed before even engaging in combat. If given another chance, she would never go hunting again.
The murderous intent in the man's eyes quickly dissipated, and realizing the situation, he looked like a mouse, frowning as he said, "Sir, we are just bounty hunters passing by, just killing some dogs and heading back. Did we steal anything from you?"
"We can return it and leave immediately."
"Please, sir, spare our lives!"
"I only came here to make a living..."
Li Chen walked up to the three people who were frozen in place, looked at them with a calm gaze, and asked, "What's the name of the nearest city?"
The man was quick-witted; he immediately realized that Li Chen must have come from outside, and hurriedly replied, "Huizhou City, we all come from Huizhou City."
"Sir, Huizhou City is currently doing something strange; they check IDs for everyone entering and leaving the city. If you need any more information, I have it on my phone."
Just then, the man let out a sinister laugh.
"But you'll have to pay a toll!"
"Shot!!"
Suddenly, countless gunshots rang out from the surrounding Black Mist.
The sound of whooshing echoed continuously, like a torrential downpour, and the three people in front of him were instantly teleported away by a magic array.
Li Chen's expression remained unchanged.
The bullets were blocked by a wall of energy before they even got close.
Boom! Boom!
A massive explosion erupted from where Li Chen was located.
These bullets are special ammunition, specifically designed to counter weapons used by those in the Sequence User, but they've chosen the wrong targets.
Before the smoke cleared, one after another, people wearing black masks emerged from the Black Mist, each with a skull medal on their chest.
The shifty-eyed man from before stood at the front, grinning lewdly as he looked in Li Chen's direction, and said, "I only wanted to deal with your Sunjie, huh?"
"I didn't expect to catch such a big fish today."
"Thank you so much, Sunjie! You're my lucky charm!"
Sunjie's restraints were lifted, but she was still held captive by two masked men. She angrily shouted, "You son of a bitch, all you ever do is scheme!"
Instead of getting angry, the man laughed and said, "Scheming is a skill, one you can't learn, you big-breasted, brainless woman!"
"Go, grab that young master. With so many weapons specifically designed to deal with Sequence User, I really don't believe he can withstand it."
Just as his men approached the smoke.
A hand reached out from inside and grabbed one of their heads. The calamity looked at them with a smile and said sarcastically, "Originally, my My Lord wasn't even planning to kill you."
"You're asking for it!"
In an instant, his figure flickered like a green shadow, and within seconds, piles of minced flesh appeared in the Black Mist.
The power of the calamity was immense. Even a powerful expert in the Withered Sea Realm who cultivated his physical body would have his bones shattered by a single blow. How much more so for these humans in the Dripping Water Realm and Looking River Realm, who met their demise with just one strike.
Li Chen emerged from the smoke, holding the inkstone, and looked calmly at the man who had told him to "shoot" under the black umbrella.
Only then did the man realize he had messed with the wrong person.
Sunjie sneered from the side, "So, your Skeleton Guild has finally met its match?"
"Shut up." The man's expression was one of extreme terror, but he remained defiant. He had never imagined this person would be so strong.
Li Chen held up the ink and walked step by step to the man. The overwhelming pressure that came from him actually broke the man's legs, causing him to tremble and kneel on the ground, not daring to meet his gaze.
All I knew was that I had caused a huge disaster, and that I was likely to lose my life here.
At this moment, the blood-covered figure from the Black Mist returned and stood behind Li Chen, his gaze fixed on Sunjie's body as if contemplating his next work of art. Terrified, Li Chen turned deathly pale. It was too terrifying; the aura emanating from this person...
Li Chen looked at the man kneeling on the ground, showing no pity and speaking in an unusually cold tone.
"I'll ask, you answer."
