The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3164 - 3159: Xuan Jie’s Ambush_1

At this moment, Mo Wanchou's heart burned with intense resentment. Since Xuan Zhen was incapable of truly winning or losing, why did he persist in causing such a disturbance here? Was there nowhere else for him to go?

Following several clashes, the image Mo Wanchou projected to the public had shifted; he no longer possessed the divine and majestic aura he displayed at the beginning.

The two rivals now stood face to face with bloodshot eyes, each harboring a deep-seated fury toward the other.

Given the volatile atmosphere, it wasn't long before the two engaged in combat once again.

Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang observed the unfolding struggle with calm expressions.

Yang Chen had already deduced that Mo Wanchou lacked the means to truly suppress Xuan Zhen. He refrained from intervening only because he couldn't yet decipher Xuan Zhen’s true objective.

While he was certain that Xuan Zhen was pursuing a specific goal, the nature of that purpose remained elusive.

By this stage, the duel between Mo Wanchou and Xuan Zhen had become a familiar sight; many spectators had witnessed it multiple times and were already predicting the conclusion.

Just as everyone anticipated, Xuan Zhen fought only until the midway point before turning to flee once more.

Observing this, Mo Wanchou initially hesitated to give chase. However, looking back, he recalled the rumors circulating in the city regarding people being too cowardly to pursue and eliminate his opponent.

Ultimately, the most effective way to resolve this crisis was to kill Xuan Zhen outright.

Yet, Mo Wanchou had only dared to engage Xuan Zhen in the immediate vicinity, never even considering a pursuit. This cowardice had become a point of contention for many observers.

If Mo Wanchou truly possessed such overwhelming power, why didn't he simply hunt Xuan Zhen down and finish him?

Mo Wanchou weighed his options for a moment before gnashing his teeth: "Hmph, what is there to fear? Xuan Zhen isn't that formidable; he's already lost to me several times. What’s the harm in killing him!"

With those words, Mo Wanchou aggressively gave chase, trailing closely behind Xuan Zhen.

This pursuit finally brought a sense of satisfaction to the many powerful experts watching from the sidelines.

Mo Wanchou pushed his speed to the absolute limit as he followed, noting that Xuan Zhen did not seem to be moving particularly fast.

In truth, his velocity did surpass Xuan Zhen’s. Although Xuan Zhen commanded the power of light, Mo Wanchou wielded the Sun and Moon Law—the ultimate evolution of the Law of Light—ensuring his speed was at least equal to his foe's.

Consequently, after trailing Xuan Zhen for some time, they soon arrived at a desolate, isolated location.

However, the moment they reached this spot, Xuan Zhen came to an abrupt halt!

Mo Wanchou let out a mocking sneer: "Xuan Zhen, it appears you've run out of places to hide. Are you ready to meet your end?"

Xuan Zhen replied with a vicious snarl, "Mo Wanchou, you pathetic waste, I’ve baited you out six separate times, and only now did you find the courage to follow? Hmph, since you were foolish enough to come, today marks the day of your death!"

A sudden realization hit Mo Wanchou that something was terribly wrong.

Scanning his surroundings, he felt a sudden pressure—an aura as potent as his own, perhaps even more formidable—descending upon the area.

As this presence manifested, a chill ran through Mo Wanchou’s heart. Turning his head, he discovered another member of the Spirit God Race had materialized behind him.

"Second Brother!" Xuan Zhen’s confidence surged at the sight of this newcomer, and he stared at Mo Wanchou as if he were already a corpse.

"You are Xuan Jie, the Second Prince of the Spirit God Royal Clan!" Mo Wanchou’s pupils contracted as he stared at the man, sensing imminent danger.

He was already finding it difficult to contend with one Spirit God; facing the legendary Xuan Jie was another matter entirely.

Why was he considered a legend?

It was because Xuan Jie had spent 780,000 years Cultivating within the Realmless and was on the verge of breaking through to the Heaven-separated Realm, though he had not yet taken that final step.

Even 700,000 years ago, Xuan Jie was a terrifying power within the Realmless, much like Xuan Zhen is today. One could only imagine his strength now, seven hundred millennia later.

The mere thought sent shivers down Mo Wanchou’s spine. It was no wonder Xuan Zhen kept retreating; he had been leading him into a carefully prepared ambush.

Xuan Jie stood with his hands clasped behind his back, casting an indifferent glance at Mo Wanchou. "How did you end up leading someone else here instead?"

"Second Brother, Yang Chen was nowhere to be found, but this fellow kept coming out to challenge me. His raw power isn't exceptional, but he uses many annoying techniques. Still, his status seems significant—he appears to be a human Heavenly Extreme Realm Reincarnation. It won't be a waste of your effort, senior brother, to kill him here," Xuan Zhen explained.

Xuan Jie narrowed his eyes, feeling a hint of disappointment that their primary target hadn't been lured out.

However, upon hearing mention of a Heavenly Extreme Realm Reincarnation, his mood brightened slightly. "Very well, executing a Heavenly Extreme Realm Reincarnation is worth our time!"

Without further delay, the two men struck simultaneously, trapping Mo Wanchou between them.

Mo Wanchou was so terrified his soul nearly left his body. He didn't dare linger, immediately deploying every technique at his disposal to attempt an escape.

"You think you can run?"

...

After Mo Wanchou vanished while chasing Xuan Zhen, he seemed to disappear completely. The onlookers grew anxious, and several Heaven-separated Realm experts soon set out to investigate the situation.

Yet, just as they began their search, they spotted a tattered figure stumbling back toward them. It was none other than Mo Wanchou.

But as he retreated, Mo Wanchou’s aura was a mere shadow of its former glory; he was in a state of near-death.

Nobody knew what had transpired, and despite numerous questions, Mo Wanchou kept his lips sealed and refused to speak.

Thus, Mo Wanchou was brought back with the assistance of others, and the previous boasts regarding his "victories" over Xuan Zhen were silenced.

After all, seeing Mo Wanchou in such a pathetic state, it was impossible to claim he had bested Xuan Zhen.

Mo Wanchou’s injuries were severe, and even after a full month of recovery, he showed no signs of healing.

Han Bo and Lin Tianyi attempted to gather information, but they were similarly met with silence.

This development caused Yang Chen to frown in private. He had hoped to use Mo Wanchou’s encounter to figure out Xuan Zhen’s long-term strategy.

Because Mo Wanchou remained silent, Yang Chen was left entirely in the dark regarding Xuan Zhen’s plans.

It was evident that Xuan Zhen had not abandoned his efforts. Having used some method to cripple Mo Wanchou, he went back on the offensive, once again leaving the experts of the Grand Abyss Palace in a state of helplessness.

In the past, when Mo Wanchou fought Xuan Zhen, the encounters ended in stalemates that failed to address the underlying issue. Furthermore, Mo Wanchou was only present to collect Liuli Mines from Bi Shuangxing before departing.

Now that Mo Wanchou was incapacitated, their prospects against Xuan Zhen were even bleaker.

As a result, whenever Xuan Zhen raided the Grand Abyss Palace’s mines, he moved with total impunity, forcing the palace experts into a desperate situation.

Many of these experts now had no choice but to place their hopes on Yang Chen—the very man they had previously sidelined and insulted.
