The Eternal System
System 63: Pending Battles
Seeing Guan Liu coming right before him made Li Chen's mood decline badly. It could be seen clearly from the sharp gaze and felt cold as if it could kill anyone with just the look of his eyes.
“You again...” murmured Li Chen.
Gong Qiao who did not know anything turned his head left right in confusion.
“Ch-Chen... Who is he?” ask Gong Qiao
“A person who is not important” said Li Chen
Li Chen's answering tone sounded cold and even gave Gong Qiao goosebumps for a moment.
On the other hand, Guan Liu who heard Li Chen's words frowned.
“Murid new many styles. You humiliated me in front of so many people. But now look at you. Trying to get close to the young lady from the Gong family for the sake of getting good from them. Nasty!”
It was incessant to hear Guan Liu continue to demonize Li Chen. Gong Qiao began to feel annoyed and denied loudly.
“You don't know anything, don't carelessly talk!” yelled Gong Qiao
“Nona Gong, you yourself do not know the background of this person. He came from a weak family and had once lost his strength. I don't know what dirty trick he used to get his power back. No one knew if he used a contract with the demons to restore his strength!” hina Guan Liu's
The topic that Guan Liu brought was very sensitive, especially for Gong Qiao himself who had a demonic curse within his body. He became increasingly angry and denied again.
“CHEN IS NOT SUCH A PERSON!”
His shout was really loud and even made everyone stunned in silence. Even Li Chen himself opened his eyes wide and stared at Gong Qiao.
Her cold face instantly died down and was changed by a thin, warm smile.
“Qiao’er, thank you. However, you do not need to spend your breath in order to maintain my good name and also serve him at the same time”
“Chen...”.
“He's blocking our way because he has unfinished business with me. You don't need to step down”
“Ta-but-!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Chen gently patted Gong Qiao on the head and gave a faint smile.
“Trust me”
Seeing the meaningful gaze and gentle speech that entered into his ears made Li Chen's feelings instantly flow into his heart. Gong Qiao nodded softly at Li Chen's request.
While Guan Liu who saw the two of them also became fed up with time.
“Huh, disgusting. Is it enough for you to lick the good name of the Gong family?!” guan Liu's
“Don't bring the Gong family. Your business is with me, and last time our fight was not finished” Li Chen said
“Arogan once. I will break all your arrogant nature together with your limbs!” said Guan Liu
Guan Liu's words sounded like a warning to the ten people who were with him. They immediately rode on horseback ready to surround Li Chen from all sides.
It was assumed that there was a frightened reaction from Li Chen. However, all Guan Liu got was the look on Li Chen's face that was flat like a smooth wall. As if I had no emotions at all.
He turned around and glanced towards Gong Qiao who was standing behind him.
“Qiao’er, can you pull over for a moment? I don't want you to get hurt from my attack”
“Ba-fine...”.
In accordance with Li Chen's words, Gong Qiao turned back to the back of one of the trees.
“Qiao’er, can I still ask for one more thing?”
“A-what is it?”
“Please close your eyes. Dan Xiong, please help nonamu”
“E-eh? Wh-why?”
Xiong squinted his eyes and stared doubtfully at Li Chen for speaking that way. And that doubt….
“(What does he want to do?)” inner Xiong
“Do it, yes?” li Chen's
A thin smile on the outside was soothing for Gong Qiao who saw it. However, not for Xiong who directly fused with Ki nature as a mystical animal. Li Chen's Ki energy emanated clearly and was felt by him. His smile had a terrible backlash.
It was as if there was a calamity and killing intent so strongly implied within it. Xiong himself shuddered aside and had a moment of fear.
“Xiong? What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking?” ask Gong Qiao
“Ti-nothing miss. It's just, please close your eyes...” Xiong Sahut
“Alright then...”
Gong Qiao immediately closed his eyes tightly. He couldn't see anything, just the dark view he had. But, Xiong himself added by closing Gong Qiao's ears.
“E-eh, wait. Xiong, why are you covering my ears too?!”
Xiong ignored this. While Li Chen who had seen Gong Qiao had already closed his eyes and even his ears, making him draw his gaze back towards Guan Liu in front.
“Alright, ten people yes. Are you also going forward, so eleven people?” ask Li Chen
“Hohoho…. I don't need to step in. They're all assassins I paid to kill you. What's more...”.
Ltak….!!
Guan Liu snapped his finger while grinning widely. The sound of a snap of his finger became a signal that made the ten people take something from inside his clothes. They took out a pitch-green-colored pill.
[ Item name: Cultivation pills ]
[ Item type: Potion ]
[Tier : One-star master fighter]
The system helped Li Chen to identify the pill. And who would have thought, that each of them had a one-star master fighting pill.
“Now!” said Guan Liu
The pills were thrown into their mouths. The contraction of Ki energy that was so large instantly unleashed a powerful force into their bodies. The drastically increased cultivation level and Ki's radiance made such a strong gust of wind around him.
A…!!!
Wush…!!!
“Hahahaha! How is Li Chen, are you still able to maintain that arrogant attitude of yours?! Ten people with the level of a one-star master fighter. You who are only a fighter general will not stand a chance!”
Guan Liu was trying to draw out a feeling of fear and despair from Li Chen. But it won't and never will. The flat-faced roar from Li Chen earlier, turned into a wide grin and laughed out loud.
“khuhu…. HAHAHAHA!”
Everyone who was there was stunned in silence when they saw Li Chen's unnatural reaction. His laughter made Guan Liu inexhaustible think of what was inside his head.
“A-what's funny?!” guan Liu's
“I don't think you're this stupid!” laughter Li Chen
“Hah?!” guan Liu's
“I think they are the students who are your subordinates. But it turned out to be better than I imagined. I didn't think that you could sneak in a hit man to kill me!” li Chen's
“Then why?! What's so funny?! You will soon die at the hands of these ten men! You should be scared!” guan Liu's
“Ckckckckck Li Chen clicked his mouth while shaking one of his index fingers forward
The gesture showed a feeling of disappointment as well as a mistake that Li Chen found fatal to Guan Liu.
“I'm grateful that you brought someone outside the academy to kill me. This way, I don't have to be afraid of killing them all!”
Li Chen grinned widely with Ki energy full of killing intent radiating out from his body. Not only Guan Liu, but the ten people had felt a terror so intense that their legs were endlessly trembling.
Guan Liu gritted his teeth and tried to get tough.
“You... don't be arrogant! In front of ten master fighters, what can you do?!”
[The system detects any killing intent directed at the player. Defeat them to survive ]
[Enemy to defeat: 10]
[Enemy down :0 ]
An emergency mission given by the system, further encouraged Li Chen to exert all his abilities.
Li Chen pulled back one leg. Both hands in a strong head and positioned in the form of horses that do not have a gap. Regardless, he still grinned widely and displayed an implied aura of terror.
“I'll show you what fear feels like!”
