The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3165 - 3160: Battle with Xuan Zhen Again_1

Initially, the campaign to exclude and attack Yang Chen was primarily driven by the followers of Mo Wanchou.

Mo Wanchou’s subordinates began by circulating rumors, painting Yang Chen as a complete laughingstock. They convinced the masses that Mo Wanchou was the only one capable of defeating Xuanzhen. Consequently, everyone stopped taking Yang Chen seriously, mocking and eventually isolating him.

However, as time passed, the reality of the situation became clear to everyone.

Mo Wanchou was utterly unable to overcome Xuanzhen. While some argued that Yang Chen merely scaring Xuanzhen away didn't prove his strength, the undeniable fact remained: Xuanzhen did not dare to cross into the Divine Night Sect’s territory.

This was a feat Mo Wanchou could not replicate. Despite their frequent clashes, Xuanzhen remained relentless and enthusiastic about provoking Mo Wanchou’s side.

The situation culminated when Mo Wanchou was hunted and nearly slain by Xuanzhen, barely managing to escape with his life.

A wave of regret washed over the crowd, particularly among the powerhouses of Shi Ye City. These influential figures began considering how to persuade Yang Chen to intervene once more.

Still, a faction remained convinced that if Mo Wanchou couldn't win, then Yang Chen was nothing more than a minor character.

For a time, the experts of Shi Ye City hesitated to completely burn their bridges with Mo Wanchou's faction.

But as Xuanzhen’s harassment persisted, their patience wore thin. Xuanzhen showed no intent of stopping; instead, he grew more aggressive, seizing every chance to taunt them.

Unable to endure the pressure any longer, the leaders of Shi Ye City finally severed ties with Mo Wanchou’s subordinates and sought out Yang Chen for assistance.

At that moment, Yang Chen was seated in a small pavilion alongside Ji Yueshuang and their companions.

King Jin Jue and King Bai Ku arrived, leading several other experts. Their expressions were heavy with apology, and they looked at Yang Chen with such trepidation they barely dared to breathe. Despite their high Boundaryless status, they carried themselves with great humility.

“Brother Yang Chen, we were unable to control the earlier situation, and we hope you can be understanding. Please, we beg you to help us this time,” King Bai Ku said, his voice thick with awkwardness.

Ji Yueshuang let out a sharp, sarcastic sneer. “Weren’t you all incredibly arrogant before? All of Shi Ye City claimed Yang Chen was talentless and that everyone had to rely on Taiyuan Palace’s Mo Wanchou to drive Xuanzhen away. You slandered my Divine Night Sect’s Yang Chen until he was nothing in your eyes. Now that you need his help, where is that arrogance now?”

Han Bo and Lin Tianyi also looked on with icy, indignant expressions.

King Bai Ku forced a pained smile. “Brother Yang Chen, Miss Ji, we were truly mistaken. We are prepared to pay the price for our errors if you can eliminate Xuanzhen. My Taiyuan Palace is willing to increase our previous offer by an additional fifty percent!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yueshuang and Han Bo traded looks, their anger softening slightly.

Tangible benefits were always the best remedy for disputes.

Nevertheless, the final decision rested with Yang Chen.

Even though Yang Chen felt a sense of annoyance, he had already intended to kill Xuanzhen. Thus, he chose not to make things too difficult for them.

“Add three hundred units of Broken Cloud Mine, two hundred of Nine Heavens Wind Thunder Iron, and I require five Liuli Mines, along with various other ores...”

He didn't refuse them, but he ensured the distribution of rewards was handled properly. Every demand Yang Chen made caused King Bai Ku and the others to feel a pang of agony in their hearts.

Yang Chen’s requests pushed the absolute limit of what they could tolerate, yet they nodded in painful agreement. “Very well. If Brother Yang Chen can slay Xuanzhen, all these treasures shall be yours!”

“It is a deal, then. You may all leave. I will strike the next time Xuanzhen shows himself,” Yang Chen declared.

“Our deepest thanks, Brother Yang Chen,” King Bai Ku and King Jin Jue said gratefully before respectfully withdrawing.

Once the others had departed, Han Bo and Lin Tianyi looked at Yang Chen with deep appreciation.

After all, the terms Yang Chen had negotiated were directly tied to the prosperity of the Divine Night Sect.

Han Bo laughed heartily, setting aside any reservations. “Brother Yang Chen, regarding the additional ores, I shall grant you sixty percent of them!”

Yang Chen recognized the genuine respect in Han Bo’s gesture; giving him the lion’s share was a sincere sign of favor.

“Thank you, Senior Han Bo,” Yang Chen replied with a faint smile.

He accepted the windfall readily, knowing these materials were priceless.

The Nine Heavens Wind Thunder Iron, for instance, would significantly enhance the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword. The other ores would serve to nourish and evolve his divine weapons, while the Liuli Mines were rare treasures that could increase the success rate of reaching the Heaven-separated Realm.

From that day on, Yang Chen prepared himself to hunt Xuanzhen.

He waited in silence for his target to appear!

Less than ten days passed before Xuanzhen arrived again, intent on causing destruction without hesitation.

“Xuanzhen has returned!”

“Xuanzhen is here once more!”

Many Boundaryless cultivators were struck by terror, feeling helpless against him. Their immediate instinct upon seeing him was to flee for their lives.

The news of Xuanzhen’s arrival quickly rippled through the nearby city.

But suddenly, a powerful surge of Qi locked onto Xuanzhen’s form.

“Xuanzhen, it seems you’ve been enjoying yourself lately, haven't you?” A calm voice drifted softly into Xuanzhen’s ears.

The moment he heard it, Xuanzhen’s body trembled uncontrollably as a deep-seated fear took hold. He let out a low, guttural growl, “Yang Chen!”

That voice was etched into his memory; it belonged to his primary target, Yang Chen!

Yang Chen gazed at Xuanzhen with an expressionless face, his lips curling into a slight smirk. “Xuanzhen, these frequent appearances of yours—you’re trying to lure me out, aren’t you?”

“What are you implying?” Xuanzhen’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Yang Chen answered coolly, “You’ve shown yourself far too often, leading me to believe you’re plotting something. Am I wrong?”

Xuanzhen felt a jolt of alarm. Had his recent battles with Mo Wanchou tipped Yang Chen off?

Maintaining his facade, Xuanzhen sneered, “Yang Chen, are you frightened?”

“Frightened? I only hope that if you have any hidden schemes, you reveal them quickly. Otherwise, I fear you won’t get another chance,” Yang Chen said coldly.

Xuanzhen erupted in fury at those words. How dared Yang Chen treat him with such disdain?

His recent successes against Mo Wanchou had bolstered his confidence. Furthermore, he believed his previous defeat was only because Asura had been suppressed.

Without that suppression, he was certain Yang Chen couldn't defeat him so easily.

“Yang Chen, do you truly believe one victory guarantees a second? Today, I will show you the true extent of my power!” In a rage, Xuanzhen unleashed his innate domain.

King God Domain!
