King of Creation Chapter 1959 - 1944: Success

"Absolutely impossible!"

As a seasoned fox-like figure, Hu Buding immediately rejected Ye Zhen’s proposal.

If he accepted Ye Zhen’s proposal, he would suffer a huge loss in today’s struggle.

Moreover, his beloved daughter, Hu Lian, would have died in vain.

Naturally, he could not accept Ye Zhen’s seemingly feasible proposal.

Hu Buding, the Ninth Elder, hadn’t held his position for nothing. He was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

Swiftly, Hu Buding mimicked Ye Zhen, pinching Chi Ling’er’s nape, spiritual power pulsing in his palm, staring coldly at Ye Zhen.

"Rather than that, I might as well kill this root of disaster with a single blow, and then fight to the death here, let’s see who emerges victorious!"

Ye Zhen’s heart instantly leapt with tension!

Chi Ling’er, after all, was just a child. Scared by Hu Buding, he began to cry loudly.

This outcry made Ye Zhen even more heartbroken, wishing he could take his place.

However, Ye Zhen knew he couldn’t show a hint of tenderness right now; otherwise, Hu Buding, the old fox, would seize the opportunity to crush him.

With a cold snort, devoid of expression, a flash of light appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand, and Hu Buding’s most cherished second grandson, Hu Youji, was now in Ye Zhen’s other hand.

"It’s okay, we’re just playing around. You can pinch once, but I can pinch five times, it should be quite enjoyable!" Ye Zhen’s voice was filled with cold cruelty.

Years of bloodshed and turmoil had made Ye Zhen adept at acting.

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Hu Buding’s eyes, filled with immeasurable anger, but ultimately, he didn’t choose the path of mutual destruction.

After all, if he killed Chi Ling’er and Ye Zhen killed his six blood relatives, even if he could eventually kill Ye Zhen, he would be left with nothing.

Not to mention losing the threat of Chi Ling’er to Hu Qingtong and losing six blood relatives, placing the Hu Family’s bloodline in danger of extinction.

Especially seeing his most cherished and highly anticipated second grandson, Hu Youji, filled him with immense sorrow.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to act that way.

After pondering slightly, Hu Buding suddenly smiled and placed Chi Ling’er back down.

"Since both of us have hostages and want to save them, why don’t we release them, have a fight, and the victor naturally gets the hostage he desires, what do you say?"

Suddenly, Hu Buding proposed a suggestion that Ye Zhen couldn’t refuse.

However, Ye Zhen dared not agree too quickly, as a fast agreement might arouse suspicion in the old fox, which would be unfavorable.

Feigning serious contemplation for a few moments, Ye Zhen slowly nodded and placed Hu Guang and Hu Youji, whom he was holding, onto the ground. "Fine, if we’re going to fight, then let’s fight, whoever wins gets Chi Ling’er, let our abilities decide!"

"What about the other hostages, my eldest grandson, my grandson-in-law, and son-in-law? Release them too and let’s gamble altogether!" Hu Buding suggested.

"Impossible!"

This time, it was Ye Zhen’s turn to refuse, "I’m already at a loss, betting two against one. This is your territory after all; I need to keep a few as backup, lest I lose my life."

"Of course, if you’re unwilling, then you kill Chi Ling’er, and I’ll kill all your offspring, and we’ll fight to the death here." Ye Zhen sneered.

Hu Buding’s frustration at this moment was indescribable.

However, being able to save a son and a grandson was already very worthwhile for Hu Buding.

As long as he could rescue his younger son and second grandson, the bloodline of the Hu Family could continue. As long as Hu Ding’s bloodline continued, even if the remaining hostages were killed by this intruder, he could plan again for Chi Ling’er to seize that once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

"Alright!"

"However, during our battle, if you think of seizing the chance to snatch Chi Ling’er, I advise you not to dream in broad daylight!"

Hu Buding’s figure flickered, and a massive red fox avatar cruelly perched above Chi Ling’er’s head.

Its meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

If Ye Zhen dared to seize Chi Ling’er, Hu Buding’s red fox avatar would undoubtedly kill Chi Ling’er immediately.

"Same to you!"

Ye Zhen coldly laughed as well. With a shake of his shoulder, a Mirage Avatar appeared at his side, placing both palms over the heads of Hu Buding’s younger son, Hu Guang, and second son, Hu Youji.

"The winner takes them!"

"The winner takes them!"

As the two avatars moved back with their hostages, a red flame chain shot out from Hu Buding’s mouth, aiming at Ye Zhen.

The burning red flame light seemed to ignite the entire void.

In Ye Zhen’s perception, the whole world seemed to be enveloped by this flame, an indescribable heat washed over him.

The power of Heaven and Earth Laws.

This was the power of Heaven and Earth Laws that only a Dao Realm expert could wield. Although Hu Buding could mobilize only a small amount, it could still crush martial artists below the Dao Realm.

It was an oppressive force in terms of realm and power attributes.

Enough to crush most martial artists below the Dao Realm, however, Ye Zhen belonged to that minority.

"Bring it on!"

Ye Zhen sneered, his Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl shot out from behind his head, transforming into a green flame poison dragon with fanged claws. With a flash of fire, it blocked Hu Buding’s flame chain.

"Acquired Spirit Treasure?"

Hu Buding’s face changed abruptly.

This type of power oppression formed by directly invoking the power of Heaven and Earth Laws can only be countered by very few means, including Acquired Spirit Treasures.

"Try this!"

With a flick of his fingers, two Sixth Formation Profound Fire Drills howled towards Hu Buding.

Chi Ling’er had not been rescued yet, and Ye Zhen was afraid Hu Buding would recognize his identity, so he dared not use the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword and Thunder Light Pearl, the two Acquired Spirit Treasures he had used before.

"With just this skill, you’re still not a match for me, old man!"

Hu Buding raised his hands heavily like mountains. At the moment when incomparably mysterious Dao Patterns emerged, his hands slashed out like lightning.

Instantly, Ye Zhen’s powerful Profound Fire Drills were annihilated!

To be honest, it was the first time Ye Zhen’s Profound Fire Drill was extinguished in such a manner.

"Die!"

Countless terrifying fire beams flew from Hu Buding’s hands, thundering towards Ye Zhen.

Especially, each fire beam carried a fearsome aura of Heaven and Earth Laws, making it extremely difficult for Ye Zhen to counter, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Even worse, each fire beam locked onto Ye Zhen’s aura tightly, leaving him no time or opportunity to rescue Chi Ling’er.

In an instant, Ye Zhen fell into a disadvantageous position.

However, from the start of the battle, Ye Zhen never intended to save Chi Ling’er by himself. At this moment, Ye Zhen was merely a distraction to draw Hu Buding’s attention.

The battle was so intense, with Hu Buding dominating Ye Zhen, making him feel immensely satisfied, focusing his full attention on Ye Zhen, only leaving a slight trace of Divine Sense on his avatar.

After all, Ye Zhen was right under his nose, absolutely without time to rescue Chi Ling’er.

Even Hu Buding didn’t notice a segment of green vine, at that moment, moving slowly, almost imperceptibly, underground towards Chi Ling’er’s direction.

As Ye Zhen was once again struck back over a dozen meters by Hu Buding’s palm, coughing blood from the impact of that Heaven and Earth Law Power within the palm.

The Little Demon’s true body finally slowly wriggled under Chi Ling’er’s body from underground, waiting for the moment to break through the earth to take action.

"Leave this Acquired Spirit Treasure, and release the other people, I might consider sparing your life!" Hu Buding, seizing the upper hand, laughed loudly.

"Keep dreaming!"

Ye Zhen activated the Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl twice, attacking Hu Buding.

"Courting death!"

Just as Hu Buding coldly snorted, the Little Demon suddenly burst out from the ground, countless vines surged up like a flood, seemingly out of thin air, furiously drilling out from the ground.

"Huh?"

Hu Buding’s reaction was extremely quick and decisive.

Noticing something different behind him, Hu Buding’s Divine Sense moved, and his Red Fox Avatar struck towards Chi Ling’er’s head.

Bang!

The sound of a failed strike echoed.

As Hu Buding’s Red Fox Avatar struck down, countless vines had already formed a Vine Shield above Chi Ling’er’s head, crafted by the Little Demon.

At the same moment, innumerable green vines sprouted, surrounding and protecting Chi Ling’er tightly.

Originally attacking Hu Buding, Ye Zhen also switched from attack to escape at this moment, the sound of Wind and Thunder arose again, and Ye Zhen directly used Wind Flash and Sweep, rushing towards Chi Ling’er’s direction.

Understanding Ye Zhen’s intent, Hu Buding coldly snorted, and a firelight infused with Heaven and Earth Laws, like a Flood Dragon, soared from his palm, shooting towards Chi Ling’er.

Hu Buding was well aware that in terms of speed, he couldn’t match Ye Zhen.

However, the speed of his attack could surpass Ye Zhen’s speed.

This was an attack carrying the Heaven and Earth Law Power he had painstakingly comprehended over the years; it was not something that a Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm Wood Demon could withstand.

Whether it be the Wood Demon or that child, they would turn to ashes under this attack.

Since you want to play tricks, then let me stop you completely, thought Hu Buding.

As Wind Flash and Sweep rapidly swept past, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Power also erupted wildly at that moment, using the Little Demon’s vines as carriers, completely enveloping Chi Ling’er and exploding.

The surging Primordial Spirit Waves burst like fireworks, reaching an extreme explosion within a moment, then dissipated.

However, dissipating alongside Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Waves were the countless green vines that the Little Demon had transformed into, and Chi Ling’er, who was wrapped within those vines.

They were all sent into the Mirage Dragon Pearl by Ye Zhen.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhen couldn’t forcibly teleport living humans into the Mirage Dragon Pearl over such a distance.

However, with the Little Demon that shares Ye Zhen’s bloodline as his Primordial Spirit Power carrier, it was different.

As the Little Demon and Chi Ling’er were sent into the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen felt a sense of relief, and began to laugh wildly.

"Old thing, now, we can fight to the fullest!"

The Purple Spirit Immortal Sword and Thunder Light Pearl, the two Acquired Spirit Treasures, appeared simultaneously.

"It’s you!" Hu Buding’s eyes widened suddenly!
