Li Chen murmured, "My life has been like walking on thin ice. The world has treated me with malice, with infatuation, with a kind of intoxication, yet I have stepped into that vortex alone."
"You stir up trouble and shake the world, yet you all revolve around me. You have quite the ability!"
"I'm just a nobody, forced into this position on stage. Isn't that ridiculous?"
But you seem to enjoy it.
Did I ruin all of this?
"Shouldn't you be the ones who destroyed my world?"
If I were allowed to live out my life peacefully, would I still have the chance to see tomorrow?
Light Fiend remained silent, offering no rebuttal.
Only they know the truth. If everything were laid bare before the world, what kind of explanation would they give?
Li Chen shook his head. "Never mind... never mind..."
"Don't you want to protect this world?"
"Then I'll destroy it myself. You don't approve of my actions because you believe your race is the one, the only one."
"Human Race... truly laughable Human Race."
"Throughout thousands of years of history, there have been constant wars, yet humanity has always cherished peace. Perhaps the last thing this world should have had is the Human Race."
Veins bulged on Light Fiend's forehead as he angrily retorted, "That's heretical and twisted logic! Human Race aren't that despicable. Wars are born from conflict and desire. As Human Race, we possess emotions."
"That's a real person!"
"Aren't humans without desires just like Eerie Monsters, indiscriminately killing?"
"You are now evil, the only evil!"
Li Chen laughed uncontrollably.
Evil...
He bore the brunt of ninety percent of the world's greatest evils; was he ever afraid?
He would stop at nothing to become God.
In exchange for so-called freedom, he was willing to become a pawn.
The tide has turned, and everyone wants to die, but who can kill themselves? Who can stand before them honestly and condemn the evil they have committed?
The chessboard had long been overturned, and no one dared to place a piece anymore. Now, he was the royal piece, facing countless glittering white pieces of the Human Race.
Behind Li Chen, an increasingly powerful Black Mist surged, forming a ten-thousand-foot-tall ink blade that stood upright at the center of heaven and earth, chanting. "Today I will pave the way with deceit, and proceed forward."
"Man, God, Deceit—those who stand in my way shall die!!"
With a "buzzing" sound.
The ink-black blade slashed down fiercely.
Light Fiend's expression changed drastically; this direction leads to Huizhou City!!
Once a breach is made, everything you've done will be in vain.
At that moment, he risked his life to meet him.
Golden light shone between heaven and earth as the dark blade collided with it, causing the surrounding void to crack and pop as if it were about to break apart at any moment.
Not far away in Dunhuang, people also noticed that the situation was not good.
A ripple spread from the fishing rod in his hand as he swiftly cast it out, tearing a large hole in the air. The silver hook, carrying an aura of unstoppable force, struck the dark blade.
But it still couldn't stop that overwhelming pressure.
Blood trickled from the corner of Light Fiend's mouth, and drops of Forbidden Substance from the dark blade fell onto his body. The pain in his soul swirled incessantly in his mind.
Pfft~
He spat out a mouthful of blood and roared angrily.
The light emanating from his body transformed into countless sharp swords, crisscrossing and rushing towards the area around the dark blade, attempting to concentrate on a single point and break it.
However, the idea was beautiful, but as soon as those sharp blades got close, they were completely devoured by the Forbidden.
At this moment Yan Qing, with burning wings, charged towards Li Chen.
Since Li Chen is currently dealing with Light Fiend, his true form shouldn't have any means to counter his attack.
"Apologize!"
Yan Qing, wielding the Blazing Sword, swept past.
It appeared in front of Li Chen in an instant, before Li Chen could even react, the sword burning with raging flames had already pierced through his chest.
Pfft~
Li Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the sacred woman before him, and grinned, laughing loudly, as if the sword had been struck not at himself, but at someone else.
Yan Qing frowned, gripping the Flaming Sword tightly in his hand, wanting to cut him in two with one stroke, but suddenly found that the sword could not move, as if it was stuck by something.
With a "snap".
A crisp round of applause resounded throughout the heavens and earth, which fell silent, especially silent.
Yan Qing was stunned; the pain on her face made it difficult for her to react.
Li Chen's slender fingers pinched the burning sword, and with a gentle squeeze, it shattered instantly. His gaze met Yan Qing's, and his words were chilling. "Justice? Can you represent Justice?"
Are your words and actions Justice?
Does Justice give one the right to look down on others?
"Is this what they call Justice?"
Hearing Li Chen's words, Yan Qing's wings burned even more fiercely, and a flaming sword appeared in his hand once again, which he slashed fiercely at Li Chen.
This time, Li Chen still didn't dodge.
He even let the sword slash at his shoulder, slowly cutting into his flesh.
Then came another palm strike.
At that moment, Yan Qing realized what was happening and tried to block with his hand, but found that his whole body had been kicked away.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Li Chen crushed the flaming sword once more and said, "Justice is easily defeated; you do not represent Justice."
An uproar...
He fought alone Three Wastelands and remained undefeated.
It even seems to have a slight advantage.
This scene is known to everyone.
Li Chen gazed at this broken world, then at the Light Fiend desperately trying to shatter the ink blade; the situation was crystal clear.
The Human Race can no longer hold them off.
Although he knew that these three Supreme Beings, except for Light Fiend, were using all their strength to kill him here, they were backed by the Human Race.
Their minds weren't on the battle; they were constantly thinking about the Human Race.
And I had no worries.
I am the destroyer; even if I die here, it is my fate to die.
Having someone to protect you does make you stronger, but it also creates countless weaknesses, even though winning in this way is somewhat disgraceful.
But he had no choice.
Now it's either him or Human Race perishes.
Just then, thunder roared through the clouds.
Golden lightning flashed across the sky above Huizhou City.
A figure slowly emerged from the clouds.
Dunhuang was overjoyed. "Yu Qingnian's arrival is excellent!"
The harsh winter has ended.
Snowflakes mingled with the wind. On the Ruined Pass, the Sword Elder gripped his sword, no longer restraining his hidden sword energy. Like a silver river cascading from the heavens, the soaring sword energy pointed directly at the Black Mist.
Glug~
After taking a big gulp of wine, Sword Elder looked at the Eerie Race emerging from the Black Mist and laughed uncontrollably.
"Yu Qingnian, go ahead and do what you want."
"Now that the chains are broken and you are free from restraint, your state of mind and realm should be invincible. You took over that damned karma for that Elder Gu, and now I will sever that red thread for you. You First Seat in this matter."
"I'll guard this pass for you."
"Raise your sword!!"
