Chapter 1291: Chapter 1262: Power of Space
Li Chen’s action took everyone by surprise.
Neither the Demon Clan nor the Star Spirit Clan expected that this human hiding within the Star Spirit Clan’s ranks would turn out to be such a formidable warrior.
Although Li Chen had previously exhibited some characteristics of a martial artist, like everyone else, Li Chen deliberately suppressed his aura, making him appear not very strong, even quite weak.
To Will or any of the martial artists in the Star Spirit Clan, Li Chen looked just like an ordinary Yellow Rank Martial Artist, with True Qi fluctuations on him, but they were quite weak.
However, no one anticipated that when this seemingly weak ‘Yellow Rank’ martial artist erupted, he would be so terrifying.
And now, Li Chen had Will’s neck in his grasp with one hand, and no one else dared to move a muscle.
Including those from the Demon Clan.
“Who… are you?” Will, with his neck being squeezed, asked with difficulty.
“Who I am is none of your concern. Right now, you only need to worry about your own life, because with just a slight movement of my hand, you’ll be saying goodbye to this world.” Li Chen spoke calmly.
Behind Li Chen, several Demon Clan warriors looked at his back, their eyes flickering.
At this moment, Li Chen had his back to them, and appeared defenseless as if he wasn’t on guard at all, giving them thoughts of…
“I advise you all to behave, because I can not only take hold of his neck; if I wish, I can grab any of yours as well.” Li Chen did not turn around, his tone still calm.
But everyone understood his words were intended for those Demon Clan warriors.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Demon Clan warriors all lowered their heads and remained silent.
The Demon Clan is a cunning race; whether it’s the original Demon Clan or the groups that joined later, they are all without exception.
For if one isn’t a bit clever within this vast race, extinction is inevitable sooner or later.
Even if they don’t perish in outward wars, they will be devoured whole by other large groups within the Demon Clan.
The Demon and Star Spirit clans gradually withdrew to opposite sides, yet one Demon warrior appeared to inadvertently approach Li Chen while falling back.
Tightening his grip on his spear, this Demon warrior kept his head bowed, obscuring his expression, seemingly standing obediently aside like the others.
Will’s gaze also turned towards that Demon warrior.
Most of these Demon warriors were at the Profound Level, but this one was Will’s personal guard, possessing powerful Earth-level strength.
Earth-level experts are respected anywhere, as reaching the Earth-level undoubtedly steps one through the gate of true strength.
As one of the royal princes, Will had such an Earth-level expert to guard him, whereas others likely didn’t even have the qualification to approach such strength.
Their glances met inadvertently for a moment before both turned their heads away.
Powerful energy silently brewed within the arm of this Earth-tier Demon.
Yet, just at this moment, Li Chen spoke again.
“Why is it that no one believes me when I speak?”
Looking at Will, Li Chen shrugged helplessly, “Actually, I was doing it for your benefit, but if you’re going to be so uncompliant, then…”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Will’s pupils suddenly contracted, as he was about to explain, he found Li Chen’s grip tightening, silencing him from uttering a single word.
And at that moment, the Earth-tier Demon behind Li Chen also raised his spear.
“Watch out!” Diana, seeing this from behind, hurriedly exclaimed.
But before she could speak, Li Chen had already swung his hand from the side.
Strangely, though his other hand clearly swung aside, it was as if something struck the Earth-tier Demon from above, causing him to crash to the ground.
The entire body was instantly knocked down.
Witnessing this, the other demons bared their fangs, ready to attack Li Chen.
“It seems your prince’s value isn’t that high at all.” Li Chen looked at Will with a bit of pity, and under Will’s terrified gaze, he snapped his neck.
“Prince!”
A group of Demon warriors roared in fury and rushed madly towards Li Chen.
Casually tossing Will’s body aside, Li Chen looked at his own hands, deep in thought.
“So this is what this power feels like…”
With a sudden step forward, Li Chen’s figure vanished bizarrely before everyone’s eyes.
It was as if he never existed, disappearing quite abruptly.
Among those present, not one saw how Li Chen moved, or even in which direction he went.
“What speed is this?” a demon warrior slashed down where Li Chen had just stood, but found nothing there.
Looking around, there were no traces of Li Chen anywhere.
This man seemed to have vanished into thin air.
“This isn’t speed.”
A cold voice suddenly sounded above them.
Then, they realized the vanished man had somehow appeared above their heads without their notice.
There was nothing in Li Chen’s hand still, but his palm was already stretched straight.
“This is the power of space,” Li Chen muttered to himself.
His palm swung out, a flash of scarlet light swept past.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”
A series of strange sounds echoed.
When Li Chen landed on the ground, only a pile of demon warrior corpses remained.
It wasn’t a palm strike; it was a slash.
The invisible blade light caused by unsheathing a sword, though not a sword, was what killed them.
“So this is space…” Li Chen felt as if a new world opened before his eyes.
At this moment, the members of the Star Spirit Clan approached Li Chen, looking at the demon corpses sprawled across the ground. Their once-casual expressions turned somewhat constrained.
They never imagined that the man who accidentally joined their team on this journey would be such a powerful expert.
“Um… Mr. Li Chen, I apologize if I offended you earlier,” Diana cautiously glanced at Li Chen before softly speaking.
At this moment, however, Li Chen turned his head, shook it at Diana, and with a smile said, “Making friends isn’t about strength, you know.”
