The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3156 - 3151: Xuan Zhen’s Fear?_1

Xuan Zhen felt a subconscious tremor, convinced for a moment that he was witnessing a mere illusion.

He couldn't fathom why his adversary would appear in this place. Yet, as his vision cleared, Xuan Zhen instinctively recoiled, his gaze overflowing with sheer terror.

The event he dreaded most had come to pass.

Yang Chen was standing directly before him.

The only individual capable of making him feel such cowardice and fear was once again blocking his path.

"It’s you!" Xuan Zhen roared with fury, "Yang Chen!"

Following their previous encounter, he had conducted a thorough investigation into Yang Chen, learning both his identity and his background.

Yang Chen, ranked Third on the Human Daluo Sky Ranking.

Since his emergence, Xuan Zhen had been a source of dread for all human cultivators of his rank; even those in the Sky-separating Realm trembled at his name. Yang Chen, however, was the sole exception to this rule.

While the world feared Xuan Zhen, Xuan Zhen feared this man.

Seeing his nemesis again, he struggled to maintain his composure. This clarity only served to sharpen his realization that he was likely no match for the man standing across from him.

Ji Yue Shuang noticed the beads of sweat forming on Xuan Zhen’s face, a sight that left her stunned and confused about the unfolding situation.

Given Xuan Zhen’s renowned power, he ought to have attacked Yang Chen on sight. Why was he paralyzed by such intense fear?

She understood that the answer to this mystery lay entirely with Yang Chen, the catalyst of this reaction.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Yang Chen remarked, "Xuan Zhen, I wonder if your Cultivation has progressed at all since our last meeting. I am right here; surely you wish to seek your revenge."

A smirk played on Yang Chen’s lips as he finished, his provocative intent unmistakable.

Despite his mocking tone, his focus remained sharp. His Domain, Dao Intent Inscriptions, and the Power of Laws had already surged outward, intending to erase Xuan Zhen from existence.

His true objective was the execution of Xuan Zhen, not a casual exchange of words.

This was the precise reason he had stationed guards at the mine's entrance. Had they distracted Xuan Zhen as planned, he was certain his ambush would have been lethal.

Unfortunately, Guo Huaian’s lack of faith led to the group’s retreat, making it far more difficult to secure a clean kill now.

Enraged by the taunts, the veins in Xuan Zhen’s neck bulged with tension.

"Or is it, Xuan Zhen, that you still lack the confidence to beat me?" Yang Chen asked, a faint smile on his face.

Ji Yue Shuang was left speechless, wondering to herself, "Is it possible that Xuan Zhen has already suffered a defeat at Yang Chen’s hands?"

Though Xuan Zhen’s blood boiled with the urge to strike, he suddenly forced himself to calm down. During their last battle, even summoning a multitude of Asura souls hadn't been enough to overcome Yang Chen.

With very few Shura roots currently under his command, he had no leverage in a fight against him.

"Yang Chen, there will be a long time in the future, let’s wait and see!" Xuan Zhen blustered, masking his intent to flee the area.

The terror etched on his features was visible to every observer within a radius of tens of millions of miles watching the conflict unfold.

"What is happening?" Guo Huaian and his companions were equally bewildered.

However, Yang Chen had no intention of letting Xuan Zhen escape so easily.

"You want to leave?" Yang Chen’s movement accelerated as his spacetime powers manifested, attempting to lock Xuan Zhen in place and cut off his retreat.

Xuan Zhen let out a roar, "Yang Chen, if I want to leave, do you really think you can stop me?"

In an instant, he transformed into a streak of light.

Yang Chen immediately gave chase using spacetime, determined to strike Xuan Zhen down where he stood.

When comparing the manipulation of spacetime to the speed of light, the superior method was quickly revealed.

He had failed to catch him last time, but the circumstances had changed.

Xuan Zhen’s expression twisted when he realized Yang Chen’s speed was equal to, if not greater than, his own. Panic began to set in.

"Stop!" Yang Chen commanded fiercely.

Suddenly, the heavens churned and the light of the world seemed to vanish. A massive hand formed of five fingers descended from the firmament, suppressing everything beneath it.

The Five Elements radiated outward, each element bolstered by the laws of heaven and earth. The might of this enhanced Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm was far more terrifying than any technique wielded by ordinary Boundaryless cultivators.

Xuan Zhen was now in a total panic. Confronting the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, he realized with horror that Yang Chen was even more powerful than before.

"Suppress!" Yang Chen bellowed.

With his scalp tingling in fear, Xuan Zhen suddenly manifested several illusory figures.

"What?" Yang Chen was caught off guard by this unexpected technique.

Dozens of clones, created through the Law of Light, made it nearly impossible to tell the real Xuan Zhen from the fakes. They scattered in every direction, momentarily baffling even Yang Chen’s senses.

Relying on spacetime, Yang Chen managed to destroy over a dozen illusions in a heartbeat, but the true body was not among them; it had already vanished into the distance.

Seeing the empty space, Yang Chen tightened his fists and let out a disappointed sigh.

A task he hoped to finish today would have to wait for another time.

Nevertheless, the event sent shockwaves through the cultivators of the East City District.

From their vantage point, Han Bo and Lin Tianyi of the Sky God Tower’s fourth floor—who had previously dismissed Yang Chen—watched the scene through their soul sense.

They had witnessed the moment Yang Chen forced Xuan Zhen into a desperate retreat.

Actually, it wasn't that Yang Chen had chased him away; Xuan Zhen had been so terrified that he fled the moment Yang Chen appeared.

They could hardly process the sight, realizing only that Yang Chen represented a nightmare for someone as powerful as Xuan Zhen.

The audience for this spectacle was vast.

High-level guards of the Sky God Tower, hidden Heavenly Fate Realm experts, and the common cultivators of the district all bore witness.

"Xuan Zhen has caused so much misery in our mines, and now someone has actually scared him off?"

"This is unbelievable. Who is this youth, and how could he possibly strike such fear into Xuan Zhen?"

"They must have clashed before. Why else would Xuan Zhen be so frightened of him?"

"Hahaha! To see Xuan Zhen run like a coward... I can die happy now!"

A flood of questions arose as everyone became intensely curious about Yang Chen’s origins and power.

How had he achieved such a feat?

Meanwhile, Guo Huaian and his team recovered from their shock. Recalling how Yang Chen had driven Xuan Zhen away, they realized a legendary figure had arrived in their East City District.

"Quickly, follow me to pay our respects to... to Sir Yang Chen," Guo Huaian said, his tone shifting to one of deep reverence as he led Ji Yue Shuang and the other Boundaryless cultivators toward him.

"We thank you, Sir Yang Chen, for your assistance in driving away that villain Xuan Zhen," Guo Huaian said, offering immediate flattery.
