The old man's appearance, and the Eerie Monsters changes that followed.
Li Chen had already discovered it.
The Supreme Being?
That's right, his first reaction wasn't to think of a Calamity Realm expert. Because he himself was Calamity Realm expert, how could he not know the strength of the Calamity Realm? The current bizarre situation was not something Calamity Realm could do.
There are only two possibilities: either a powerful expert from the Wasteland Realm has arrived, or it is Forbidden Object; otherwise, it would be impossible to control all the Eerie Monsters in the city.
In this way, all their previous efforts were in vain. However, it seems to have restricted the actions of the powerful beings in the Wasteland Realm. After all, controlling the Eerie Monsters of the entire city cannot be so easy; there must be some cost involved.
Moreover, since all the powerful human figures were approaching them and the old man was absent, Li Chen naturally guessed the old man's situation.
Li Chen glanced at the group, noting that there were five people in total, including the angel woman from before, and immediately gave the order.
"Disaster, I want to go and deal with those people."
"Zero, go stop that little rat below the city."
At this moment, his indifferent gaze fell upon Cang Yue.
Cang Yue naturally understood what she meant and laughed, "I'll go, and stop that angel."
Li Chen nodded slightly, his gaze once again falling on that familiar figure.
The Shi Family Saint Son...
A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and he now seems to have become a protector of his homeland, just like Su Xian and the others, but now a battle is inevitable.
He is blocking his own path forward.
Shi Kun also noticed Li Chen's gaze, but that gaze was devoid of any emotion, making Shi Kun feel an inexplicable chill envelop his entire body.
Is this still the same boy who just entered the Academy Tournament?
Even though we were in the same year, why did I suddenly feel a pang of unease?
It's as if inner fear is slowly growing.
However, Shi Kun immediately realized what was happening, his fighting spirit surging. He was intimidated by a single glance before the battle even began. Was there any point in fighting then?
You might as well find a hole to crawl into.
Just as the angelic woman at the front was about to attack, several bullets were fired at her.
Cang Yue, holding a red umbrella, leaped gracefully from the city wall and floated in the air. Holding a gun, she smiled at the angelic woman and said, "Your opponent is me."
"Your Majesty, you must not be disturbed!"
The angelic woman snorted coldly, raised her sword, and knocked the bullets away, but she could clearly feel that her body was much weaker.
Even the energy used up just now was quite substantial.
It's all the witch's power, as expected.
We need to deal with her quickly, otherwise everyone will be affected by this ability.
Cang Yue watched the woman charging towards her, gracefully gliding through the air. Black Mist swirled around her gun as it fired bullets, and she murmured, "Time doesn't just affect energy; it also affects the lifespan of living beings!"
"Let me see how ugly you'll look when you're old..."
The battle between the two unfolded in the sky.
And the disaster, too, was meant to stop the powerful attackers.
Just like the year before.
Facing the Shi Kun was Li Chen. Although their positions were now different, they were about to engage in a life-or-death struggle.
Shi Kun's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he said, "Li Chen, I didn't expect you to be so crazy, but you shouldn't take your revenge on ordinary people. We were powerless to do anything about Canghai Pass back then."
"After all, the power within you is too bizarre. When Canghai Pass was in dire straits, you actually managed to control most of the Eerie Monsters to block the Evil Cult. Although the Eerie Monsters gave Canghai Pass some time to recover, it was precisely because of you that the Evil Cult went completely mad and was willing to do anything to take you back."
"But the masses, the people, don't know this; they only believe that it was because of you that the Canghai Pass was destroyed."
"The Special Affairs Bureau is doing this for the sake of public sentiment."
At that moment, Li Chen's indifferent voice came from the city wall. "So what?"
So what?
"You say I'm crazy, you say I'm stupid, so what?"
"The world has forced me into this situation; am I supposed to commit suicide to atone for my sins?"
"What does the Canghai Pass, the Sinful Pass, have to do with me?"
"The crimes imposed on others are merely the abuses of your Special Affairs Bureau... What do people's hearts and minds have to do with me? I just want to find a reason to live."
At this moment, Li Chen felt completely calm.
Was he wrong?
Must we, as human beings, act and speak according to the rules of others?
Must we act according to their will?
Now that I've emerged from my cocoon, isn't it all to find my own place of freedom?
What do people's opinions of him matter to him?
Shi Kun fell silent... If he put himself in Li Chen's shoes and looked at the world from Li Chen's perspective, perhaps what he did was no more shameful than what Li Chen.
He is merely someone who is morally superior to the people of the world.
Even if he did something bad, no one dared to insult him.
But Li Chen was different. He was originally a nobody, a nobody who rose from humble beginnings. When an ordinary person suddenly becomes rich, everyone looks at him with malice, and that is the truth.
This is precisely why Li Chen was questioned and ostracized by everyone.
If he were a descendant of a powerful family, would so many things have happened?
Therefore, it's never a matter of right or wrong.
But there are always a few bad people in a crowd.
Li Chen said calmly, "So now you've come to stop me."
"Come on, let me see how these so-called holy sons of the major families will stop me."
"This era ultimately does not belong to you. Even if I become a pawn, a tool for others, and an object of the world's insults, so what!"
"This is my time!!"
A buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
The vibrations of energy reverberated throughout every corner of the city.
Thump thump~
Countless explosions rang out, and the entire city was bombarded with energy bombs as the weak agents were still killing the immobilized Eerie Monsters.
The explosion had already occurred at his feet.
Countless cries of agony filled the air.
At this moment, Li Chen looked down on everything like a demon king. His calm gaze regarded everything as nothing, and life was crushed and trampled like ants in his eyes.
Even the old man in the distance had a drastic change in expression.
This energy explosion was unstoppable; Li Chen had no intention of letting anyone escape!
As long as the energies continue to collide, unless someone can kill Li Chen, this city will be blown to smithereens.
He didn't want anyone to leave Huizhou City alive!
The old man was dumbfounded, muttering, "It's over, it's all over."
In an instant, the death toll was skyrocketing in his eyes. The special agents who had just arrived on the battlefield were killed in the explosion before they even knew what was happening.
Houses and skyscrapers—countless buildings are collapsing.
A scene resembling the end of the world.
