Immediately, Shen Yuelan called to ask about the situation. Although Luo Chen repeatedly said he was fine, Shen Yuelan remained worried and was already in the car heading to the airport.
In the end, Luo Chen had no choice but to return to Panlong Bay in Xinzhou. For one thing, it would save his parents from excessive anxiety. For another, there was a spirit gathering array in Panlong Bay, allowing Luo Chen to obtain more spiritual energy to suppress the issue.
However, on the way back to Xinzhou, Luo Chen coughed up blood again.
This was unavoidable. He needed to vent a portion of the impact force, so even if it meant coughing up blood, there was no other way.
But this scene made his travelling companions, Lan Beier and Ziyuan, even more worried.
Especially Lan Beier. Since she had known Luo Chen, when had she ever seen him injured and coughing up blood?
She had never even seen him exert his full strength to that point.
But at this moment, Luo Chen was truly coughing up blood.
Meanwhile, Ziyuan was filled with guilt. Luo Chen would not have interfered in the affairs of Nanling if she had not asked him to act.
Yet now, her request had caused Luo Chen to be injured.
Especially at this critical juncture, even though she did not know exactly how powerful the Wolf King was.
The fact that he dared to issue such a blatant challenge already explained everything.
“It is fine,” Luo Chen said, comforting her as he saw the guilt on Ziyuan’s face.
They soon returned to Panlong Bay. Shen Yuelan and Father Luo almost rushed up first, looking at Luo Chen with anxious concern.
Just as Luo Chen walked through the door, Su Lingchu, having learned of the situation from others, directly arranged a helicopter and flew over.
After all, this was a major matter, and an urgent one at that.
With the great battle imminent, Luo Chen absolutely could not have any problems, especially since this battle was of crucial importance.
After getting off the plane, Su Lingchu headed straight for the Luo family gate.
Upon entering the gate, Su Lingchu’s heart sank, because the whole room was filled with people gathered around Luo Chen, their expressions filled with anxiety.
Was he really injured?
“Brother Luo, are you alright?” Su Lingchu asked with concern.
But before Luo Chen could speak, a fit of coughing struck, and the tissue he held to his mouth was stained red.
It was over! This was a complete disaster!
Luo Chen was truly injured, and it seemed the injury was not light, otherwise why would he be coughing up blood?
“I am fine,” Luo Chen said, waving his hand and asking everyone to leave.
Only Su Lingchu was left in the hall.
“Brother Luo, what exactly is wrong with you?” Su Lingchu did not believe Luo Chen was uninjured, because how strong was Luo Chen?
How could he cough up blood under normal circumstances?
The fact that something could make Luo Chen cough up blood already indicated the severity of the problem.
“I am not injured, it is just a minor issue on my own end,” Luo Chen said very calmly.
“However, my combat power will definitely be affected.”
“Brother Luo, do not force yourself. I will find a way to postpone the battle,” Su Lingchu said anxiously. His concern for Luo Chen was not just out of worry for the great battle; in terms of personal friendship, he was also genuinely worried about him.
Although he said this, how could postponing the battle be something he had the authority to decide?
That was the Wolf King!
How could his status and position be compared to that of an ordinary person?
Furthermore, this battle was his battle for revenge!
How could it be postponed just because someone said so?
Luo Chen, however, did not want to postpone it due to his diminished combat power.
Therefore, Luo Chen waved his hand and said.
“It does not matter, this battle need not be postponed.”
But the more Luo Chen acted this way, the more anxious Su Lingchu became.
“Brother Luo, we should still find a way to postpone it and wait until you recover. The Wolf King’s strength makes him a formidable enemy, even if your combat power were not diminished!”
This was no lie. The Wolf King was absolutely the first formidable enemy Luo Chen had encountered since being reborn and returning to Earth!
He was the king of the werewolf clan, and his bloodline inherently possessed certain advantages, not to mention his years of dedicated cultivation.
Even Luo Chen tacitly admitted that this was absolutely the first person he had encountered since his rebirth who was qualified to be called an opponent!
But at this moment, his combat power was diminished. He had to suppress two clashing forces within his body, making it impossible to fully exert his strength.
“Xiao Chen, do not feel pressured. At worst, we will not fight this battle. Rest and recover at home. I do not believe that Wolf King would dare to come to our door,” Shen Yuelan, who had been outside the door, could not help but walk in and say at this moment.
At a time like this, she could not let Luo Chen do anything foolish.
“Mum, I am fine,” Luo Chen said, waving his hand.
“You are coughing up blood, and you call this fine? Then what would you call being unwell?” Shen Yuelan said, tears welling up in her eyes.
The more Luo Chen tried to act tough like this, the more Shen Yuelan could imagine how difficult it must have been for him, and how much hardship he had endured to forge such a resilient character!
Despite everyone’s repeated attempts to persuade him, Luo Chen remained steadfast.
“How much time is left?” Luo Chen finally asked.
“Three days!” Su Lingchu’s expression was already as grave as it could be.
If Luo Chen insisted on fighting the Wolf King at this time, the outcome would be very hard to predict.
There was even a high probability that Luo Chen would lose and fall on the grasslands.
It was just that Luo Chen’s character was too stubborn. Once he made a decision, it was very difficult to change, and even his mother, Shen Yuelan, could not persuade him.
Meanwhile, the outside world was in a complete uproar.
Luo Wuji is injured and has hurriedly returned to Panlong Bay!
Luo Wuji’s injuries are severe, and he may lack the strength to fight the Wolf King!
The battle between Luo Wuji and the Wolf King might be postponed!
This already confirmed the news of Luo Chen’s injury to the outside world.
Speculation after speculation dominated the trending searches.
However, that very night, an explosive piece of news was thrown out once again.
In three days, Luo Wuji will head to the grasslands to fight the Wolf King!
“Is he really going to fight the Wolf King at this time?”
“Good, I knew it. Luo Wuji will not disgrace the men of Huaxia!” someone cheered for Luo Chen.
“What is so good about that?”
“Forcing a battle with the Wolf King at this time will undoubtedly lead to defeat!” someone poured cold water on the idea.
Yet, unusually, no one refuted this.
After all, as the Wolf King’s background was slowly uncovered, everyone knew that his combat power was unimaginable. Even at his peak, Luo Wuji might not necessarily be able to win!
“In this battle, can Luo Wuji still continue his undefeated myth?” someone questioned.
“Difficult, far too difficult!” someone sighed.
“Indeed, it is far too difficult!”
“I firmly believe Luo Wuji is invincible and can win this battle!” some people still stood by Luo Chen’s side to support him.
Moreover, this post quickly shot to the top of the trending searches.
“Nonsense!” someone suddenly jumped out to refute.
“What do you people know?” the person refuting was very certain.
A large crowd thought this person was just there to cause trouble.
But very quickly, this person directly threw out an explosive piece of evidence!
“The Wolf King possesses a divine artefact of the werewolf clan!”
“The Giant Bear Battle Armour!”
“With a divine artefact protecting his body that even the Tunguska explosion could not destroy, do you still think Luo Wuji can win now?”
