72: Chapter 61: The Assassin Strikes_3 72: Chapter 61: The Assassin Strikes_3 Aunt Wang’s right hand unleashed a forceful “Inner Power” in the air, hitting Ghost King’s hand, yet her other hand did not stop, going straight for her own eyes. Having no choice, she had to block with her hand and then retreated backward to dodge the attack from another Ghost King. Violently stepping on the rack of the sickbed, Aunt Wang charged forward with even more vigour, her right hand as if it were a blade, harshly chopping down on one of the Ghost Kings’ hands. Then, with a kick, she sent the other Ghost King, who had tried to block with both his hands, stumbling backward. Halting their momentum, the two Ghost Kings looked at Aunt Wang with a touch of cruelty in their eyes, “You indeed have some skills, but today we will kill you as well!” As the two Ghost Kings charged again, a hint of seriousness appeared in Aunt Wang’s eyes. The cooperation between these two was too good; if it wasn’t for her previous strategic retreat, she might have suffered under their hands. Lin Xiaoxiao watched the three battle fiercely, growing anxious. Those two seemed quite formidable. Could Aunt Wang be at a disadvantage? Li Chen also felt anxious. Damn it, why hasn’t my True Qi recovered after so long? As time ticked by, Aunt Wang, fighting alone against the two Ghost Kings, initially held her own, but as the fight dragged on, she gradually began to falter due to physical strain and found herself at a disadvantage. One Ghost King’s iron fist smashed down towards Aunt Wang’s face. She reached up to block with one hand but was still overpowered by the force, and just then, the other Ghost King delivered a fierce kick when Aunt Wang was defenseless. “Pfft” The kick landed squarely on Aunt Wang’s body and in an instant, she, who had been holding her ground against the two Ghost Kings, was suddenly sent flying. Midair, Aunt Wang hurriedly controlled her body and landed on the ground, but still, she couldn’t help but stagger back several steps, as a hint of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Stupid old hag, today I’ll slaughter you along with him,” laughed Ghost King heartily, “After killing you, I’ll kill the now useless King of the Netherworld!” The two Ghost Kings, one in front and one behind, charged at Aunt Wang again. They were intent on killing; Aunt Wang’s heart raced with urgency, but at this moment, retreat was not an option, as behind her stood Li Chen, the husband of Lin Yi! No matter what, Li Chen was currently part of the Lin Family, and as a servant of the Lin Family, she could not retreat no matter the cost! Besides, she always thought Li Chen was quite suitable as Lin Yi’s future husband. For the young lady’s sake, she could not back down either. Aunt Wang charged again, while the two Ghost Kings were set on killing their opponent in this round! Li Chen took a deep breath, feeling his True Qi was almost restored but there was still something elusive that he couldn’t quite grasp! Damn it! Li Chen cursed under his breath, his only option to watch helplessly as Aunt Wang, in an effort to protect him, once again clashed with the two Ghost Kings! Before long, signs of struggle appeared in Aunt Wang, as the two Ghost Kings seized the opportunity, one fist aiming for Aunt Wang’s chest. However, Aunt Wang blocked the punch with her left hand, yet the force still pushed her back. “Age takes its toll,” Aunt Wang sighed, but the two Ghost Kings, relentless as sickness, did not give Aunt Wang any time to breathe and attacked again. “Aunt Wang!” Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed in shock. Aunt Wang struggled to her feet, but the two Ghost Kings, one to the left and one to the right, craftily aimed to attack from the side. Such a maneuver would easily leave Aunt Wang fatigued and vulnerable, allowing for an easy killing blow from either one. Indeed, Aunt Wang was overwhelmed; one Ghost King’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as his gaze penetrated past Aunt Wang, looking at Li Chen on the sickbed with a mocking and heartless smile. What does it matter if you are the King of the Netherworld? Of what consequence is your ability to control the life and death of others? But you can’t even protect the people by your side, what kind of King of the Netherworld are you? Not just this old woman, after killing her, I will also kill the woman beside you. I want you to watch helplessly as she is tormented to death, I want this memory to haunt you for the rest of your dying moments! The Ghost King reveled inwardly, Aunt Wang was now completely spent, no longer capable of putting up a fight. Today, the King of the Netherworld must die! On the sickbed, Li Chen, seeing Ghost King’s gaze, felt his anger blazing. A mere insect, a being he could crush at will, dared to show arrogance in front of him, a traitor dared to overstep his bounds? “You, looking for death!” Just as Ghost King’s attack was about to land on Aunt Wang, abruptly, a blanket flew toward the two Ghost Kings. “Rip” The blanket was torn in half and blown away to each side, but a figure charged at the two following closely behind. The two Ghost Kings reacted extremely fast, almost instantaneously raising their hands to counter Li Chen’s palm strike, but in just a flash, Li Chen’s immense True Qi overwhelmed them, sending the bodies of the two Ghost Kings flying backwards! “I, the King of the Netherworld, control the life and death of others, what are you Ghost Kings even worth?” Li Chen’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, not giving the two Clone Ghost Kings any chance to retaliate. Facing them two-on-one, he charged forward like a War God. The Ghost King arrested his decline, his eyes lighting up as he met the charge head-on. The fists of the two Ghost Kings rose at the same time, hurtling toward Li Chen with tremendous speed, like Illusions. Yet, Li Chen was even faster and didn’t flinch or dodge, countering with two fists of his own and colliding with theirs! Direct confrontation! Head-on toughness! The momentum of the two Ghost Kings suddenly faltered as the force behind Li Chen’s punch exceeded their imagination and was far stronger than theirs! The two were hurled backward, slamming into the wall with a loud “thud.” Li Chen slowly walked over, “You rebel against me, disrespecting your superior, did you really think I wouldn’t find you?” As he finished speaking, Li Chen actually lifted the hospital bed next to him with one hand. Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. Who knew her brother-in-law was so strong? He hurled the bed furiously at the two Ghost Kings, wielding it with a heavy force. The two Ghost Kings, seeing the danger, scattered. The bed hit the wall they had crashed into earlier, making another loud noise and creating a hole. “Even if you can create these Clones, no matter how many you send, I will kill them all!” Li Chen’s gaze turned icy as he flashed next to one of the Ghost Kings, striking with his left hand so fast that the Ghost King couldn’t even raise his hand before Li Chen’s left had already hammered down onto his shoulder. “Crack.” The clear sound of a bone breaking was heard by both Lin Xiaoxiao and Aunt Wang. “The son-in-law seems really enraged,” Aunt Wang said as she watched Li Chen lose his temper, yet she felt a sense of solace, thinking that’s just how a man should be. Lin Xiaoxiao was utterly stunned. How could her brother-in-law be so violent? But oh, so handsome! The Ghost King grimaced in pain, and when his other hand attempted an attack, it was immediately seized by Li Chen, who then exerted his strength, and in no time, the other arm of the Ghost King was rendered useless. Li Chen drove his left foot harshly into the Ghost King’s chest; with that kick, the ribs shattered under the power. If Shadow were here, she would find that Li Chen was even more terrifying than he had been this morning, and it seemed his strength had grown, surpassing even his prime as the King of the Netherworld! “Killing you is like crushing an ant,” Li Chen said coolly. He grabbed the nearly crippled Ghost King in his hand and flung him behind, directly striking the other Ghost King who was attempting a sneak attack and sending him flying. After tossing the half-dead Ghost King to the side, Li Chen walked toward the remaining Ghost King. The Ghost King’s repeated offenses had thoroughly enraged him; even if it was a Clone, he could not let them live to return. The Ghost King tried to resist but was easily captured by Li Chen. “Overestimating your own abilities.” The remaining Ghost King was struck hard by Li Chen’s foot, then with a fist to the head. Only to see the head crack with myriad fine lines and under Li Chen’s fierce punch, the Ghost King couldn’t hold up. After smashing the Ghost King into the wall, Li Chen’s anger needed venting, resulting in particularly brutal and ruthless methods. The Ghost King was hit until his head was bloody and face was covered in blood, rendering him unrecognizable. “Smack.” Li Chen grabbed the Ghost King, broke the glass and threw him out the window. After dealing with the matter, Li Chen noticed Lin Xiaoxiao looking at him in a daze, but suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao cheered, “Brother-in-law, you’re so cool!” Aunt Wang sighed, “I really am old, not as energetic as you young people are.”
