The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3179 - 3174: Trading with Heavenly Melody Mountain_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Previously, Wuer Duo held the conviction that while cultivators of his own rank might surpass him, none could ever be so formidable as to make him feel truly suffocated.
However, he was now forced to confront this harsh reality!
As the Domain of Earth shattered, the law power emanating from Yang Chen shifted and surged, causing Wuer Duo’s frame to become paralyzed and rigid.
Being utterly suppressed by Yang Chen’s domain to the point of immobility was a humiliation he found impossible to digest.
With his physical form locked in place, Wuer Duo could already envision his impending doom.
"No, no!" Wuer Duo’s pupils shrank to pinpricks.
From a short distance away, the deathly silent black winds swirled toward him, instantly trapping him in a lethal cocoon from every angle.
Within just a few breaths, and before a scream could even escape his throat, Wuer Duo’s body was torn apart and reduced to nothingness.
This sight left every observer in a state of profound shock.
Nearby, Man Yunfei stood with his eyes wide and mouth agape, struggling to process the reality of what he had just witnessed.
Wuer Duo, the premier expert of the Meng E Clan, had been driven into a corner by Yang Chen and failed to survive even three breaths before being slain on the spot.
Man Yunfei had previously suspected that Yang Chen’s reputation might be inflated or based on mere rumors.
But now, he realized that Yang Chen’s true power was far more terrifying than any story he had heard.
"Is this the same strength that killed Xuan Zhen... too, too powerful." Man Yunfei swallowed hard, his throat dry.
Shaking off his shock, he immediately roared, "Members of the Meng E Clan, your leader has fallen! Why haven't you surrendered yet?"
Snapping back to reality, the Meng E Clan warriors saw that Wuer Duo was dead. Panic surged through them, and they began to flee in every direction.
"Wuer Duo is dead! Wuer Duo has fallen!"
The group of elites descended into chaos. Without their leader to guide them, they were a headless dragon, left with no choice but to flee or face death.
However, they were still trapped within Yang Chen’s domain. Their Cultivation was suppressed and their strength diminished, making any attempt at escape nearly impossible.
The human experts seized the opportunity to strike, and within an hour, every enemy in the subterranean depths had been eliminated.
Watching the slaughter end, the disciples of Heavenly Melody Mountain, Man Yunfei included, let out long sighs of relief.
They had been on the brink of disaster, but Yang Chen’s intervention had completely flipped the script.
"I thank you, Brother Yang Chen, for your assistance," Man Yunfei said, stepping forward with deep respect alongside several Elders. "If not for your help, we would have been at our wits' end."
"It was a minor matter, think nothing of it. Besides, I have been tracking these people for some time." As he spoke, Yang Chen swept the four pieces of seven-colored colored glaze ore into his storage pouch.
Man Yunfei’s throat moved as he stared at the ore, a flicker of desire crossing his heart.
The other members of Heavenly Melody Mountain also watched with longing eyes, but they knew they had no right to claim a share. Both in terms of logic and etiquette, they were in no position to interfere.
Had they held the upper hand against the Meng E Clan before Yang Chen arrived, they might have negotiated for a portion.
But it was clear they were losing and facing total defeat.
Since Yang Chen had single-handedly turned the tide, they lacked the face to demand anything from him.
Yang Chen noted the greed in their gazes, but he had no intention of parting with his spoils.
"Since you are all safe, you should not linger here. The Meng E Clan has coveted this place for a long time. If their main force arrives later, it will result in more trouble," Yang Chen warned.
Man Yunfei was startled. "The Meng E Clan still has a main force nearby? In that case, we must leave quickly. Brother Yang Chen, what is your next destination?"
"I intend to head toward Mo Xin Lake," Yang Chen replied.
Man Yunfei smiled. "If Brother Yang Chen is going to Mo Xin Lake, why not travel with us?"
Yang Chen rubbed his chin, pausing to consider the offer.
He wasn't currently with his comrades from the Divine Night Sect, so joining the Heavenly Melody Mountain group didn't seem particularly necessary.
However, he realized that Mo Xin Lake would be crawling with powerful experts, likely including those in the Sky-separating realm. If a conflict erupted, he could use Man Yunfei’s group as a screen to stay hidden and mask his movements.
Recognizing Yang Chen’s hesitation, Man Yunfei quickly added, "Brother Yang Chen, do not worry. If you join us, any benefits we find will be split—seventy percent for you and thirty percent for us. What do you think?"
"Young Master, how can you...?" several Elders nearby whispered, their expressions grim.
But Man Yunfei remained firm, his gaze sincere.
A faint smile touched Yang Chen’s lips. He realized Man Yunfei was a shrewd negotiator. While seventy percent seemed like a massive advantage for Yang Chen, having a powerhouse like him on the team meant Man Yunfei could likely defeat almost any other group they encountered, making it a win-win situation.
The recent battle had taught Man Yunfei not to underestimate the alien races.
While the human race was powerful, the internal rivalry between the Divine Night Sect, Heavenly Melody Mountain, and the Grand Abyss Palace meant they often lacked a unified advantage in small-scale skirmishes.
Needing a cover for his own identity, Yang Chen agreed. "Very well, I will accompany you. However, I make no promises on how long I will stay, and I will remain in the shadows without revealing my face. I will only step in when necessary. If these terms are acceptable, I will join."
Man Yunfei could guess Yang Chen’s motives. Yang Chen was using them as a shield to hide his presence, which might prove even more beneficial once they reached Mo Xin Lake.
Despite the calculated nature of the partnership, Man Yunfei was impressed and replied respectfully, "That is perfectly fine. We shall do as Brother Yang Chen wishes."
Though the deal seemed lopsided, Man Yunfei remembered the terrifying ease with which Yang Chen killed Wuer Duo. He felt the trade was more than fair—in fact, he felt he was the one getting the better end of the bargain.
Both he and Yang Chen were listed as experts on the Great Luo Celestial Monument, yet the chasm between their strengths was vast.
