The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3182 - 3177: The Battle with Xuan Jie Again_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Xuan Jie stared at Man Yunfei with a gaze reserved for a corpse or a lingering ghost.
Under Xuan Jie’s intense scrutiny, Man Yunfei felt an overwhelming weight press down on him; his spine turned to ice, and cold sweat began to pour.
The mere glare from Xuan Jie instilled a deep sense of dread within him, as he was acutely aware of the terrifying, perhaps insurmountable, chasm in strength that lay between them.
He likely would have fled long ago if not for the powerful figure backing him from behind.
Master Fang observed this confrontation as well.
Master Fang had always kept a close eye on Man Yunfei, considering him the premier genius of their Sect. This was precisely why he had issued so many warnings to the youth.
However, he never anticipated that Man Yunfei would act so brainlessly. Despite being repeatedly told to avoid a direct confrontation with Xuan Jie, he stubbornly chose to oppose him. Was this not simply begging for death?
"What on earth is that brat thinking!" Master Fang muttered, unable to comprehend the situation.
At that moment, Xuan Jie let out a freezing sneer. "I offered you the chance to crawl away, yet you picked the road to the underworld. Very well then, die."
Xuan Jie abruptly unleashed his King God Domain, intending to use its power to instantly crush Man Yunfei and end his life!
It was perfectly natural for his King God Domain to be capable of suppressing a Boundaryless Cultivation stage expert to death with ease.
Yet, just as his King God Domain expanded, a different domain surged from nearby and collided head-on with his own.
The instant the two domains clashed, Xuan Jie’s pupils contracted sharply, and he was forced to retreat three steps in succession.
"Xuan Jie, I am still standing here. Isn't it a bit too prideful to assume you can just kill him in my presence?" Yang Chen remarked calmly.
Man Yunfei was stunned to see Yang Chen’s arrival force Xuan Jie back by three paces.
What kind of monstrous power did this man possess?
There was no question, however, that Yang Chen had seized the initiative.
"Yang Chen, you actually showed up!" Xuan Jie’s eyes narrowed, filled with a piercing, murderous chill upon seeing Yang Chen appear.
"If I weren't here, wouldn't you be free to run wild? It is a shame, but I must also stake my claim on this Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine," Yang Chen declared.
The powerful surge of Qi now emanating from Yang Chen brought a sense of relief to both Master Fang and Han Bo of the Divine Night Sect.
As long as Yang Chen was present, things would be manageable.
While many onlookers felt a surge of anxiety watching Yang Chen and Xuan Jie face off, they felt somewhat reassured remembering that Yang Chen had held his own against Xuan Jie once before.
Perhaps Yang Chen was the only one currently capable of matching Xuan Jie.
Xuan Jie’s voice grew heavy and deep. "Yang Chen, I have been anticipating this moment for a long time!"
He viewed Xuan Zhen’s death as a mark of shame and loathed Yang Chen to his very core, desiring nothing more than to shred him to pieces. However, recalling Yang Chen’s previous strike, he grew more cautious, not daring to make a careless move.
He could clearly sense that Yang Chen’s Cultivation and strength had reached new heights.
Yang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Brother Man, a man may be innocent, but possessing a treasure often invites greed and evil intent. I will take charge of these Seven-color Luminous Stones for now. Once we have departed from this area, I shall ensure you receive your portion."
Man Yunfei possessed enough self-awareness to realize that even if Yang Chen kept Xuan Jie occupied, it would be nearly impossible for him to escape unharmed with so many foreign races watching him.
By handing the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine to Yang Chen, the target on his back would be shifted to Yang Chen. Based on the power Yang Chen had shown, even if he couldn't defeat everyone, escaping would be a simple task for him.
Despite his initial doubts, Man Yunfei decided to place his confidence in Yang Chen. "Brother Yang Chen, here is the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine!" Man Yunfei passed the ore over, adding, "I will seek out other opportunities elsewhere."
"Understood, stay alert!" Yang Chen replied.
Man Yunfei let go of the treasure and departed, realizing that staying would only make him a liability. He headed toward other locations to continue his search for the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
Now holding the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, Yang Chen secured it within the Demon God Tower and turned to face Xuan Jie.
The two combatants took to the sky, their domains expanding so aggressively that no one else dared to interfere.
Xuan Jie spoke coldly, "Yang Chen, do you honestly believe you can walk away from this? Don't be so delusional."
"Xuan Jie, last time you and your partner couldn't even kill me when you fought together. Do you really think you have the ability to defeat me alone now? You certainly have a high opinion of yourself!" Yang Chen mocked him.
Enraged by the mention of their past encounter, veins throbbed on Xuan Jie’s forehead as he lunged forward with a palm strike.
"Heavenly Xuan Thunderballs!"
A swarm of thunderballs surged toward Yang Chen as Xuan Jie shouted, "Yang Chen, you only survived last time by exploiting that fool Xuan Zhen’s High Myriad God Asura. Without that distraction, do you truly believe you can stand against me?"
"Hmph, how pathetic!" Yang Chen watched the thunderballs approach and simply flicked his sleeve, vanishing in a flash.
While the thunderballs were undeniably potent, they posed no threat to him as long as he utilized his spacetime abilities.
One had to remember that he was no longer the same person who had fought those two previously.
He had already broken through to the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm!
Using spacetime to maneuver, Yang Chen reappeared directly behind Xuan Jie.
"Deathly Silent Black Wind!"
Within his domain, Yang Chen conjured the Deathly Silent Black Wind, sending it screaming toward Xuan Jie from dozens of different angles.
Seeing that Yang Chen had bypassed his thunderballs to teleport behind him, Xuan Jie roared in fury. He hastily redirected the thunderballs to intercept and collide with the Deathly Silent Black Wind.
The resulting explosion left the Heavenly Xuan Thunderballs and the Deathly Silent Black Wind at a complete standstill.
Yang Chen utilized Instantaneous Movement once more, manipulating the Deathly Silent Black Wind to bypass defenses rather than meeting them head-on.
Xuan Jie seemed to have anticipated the threat of Yang Chen’s Space-Time Dao Intent. He activated his own law, causing a black vortex to manifest around him. This vortex expanded rapidly just as Yang Chen attempted to use his spacetime law to close the distance.
However, Yang Chen discovered that his spacetime law was being consumed and nullified the moment it touched the vortex, rendering his instantaneous movement useless.
"Yang Chen, did you think your spacetime law made you invincible? My Devouring Rules will render your spacetime powers completely futile!" Xuan Jie was a man of many tactics and had spent a long time devising a strategy to counter Yang Chen.
This black devouring rule prevented Yang Chen from getting close, and Xuan Jie immediately followed up with another palm strike aimed at him.
Seeing this, Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed, recognizing the danger posed by Xuan Jie’s devouring rule.
"Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, descend!"
A massive palm composed of lightning plummeted from the heavens, aiming to crush Xuan Jie where he stood.
Xuan Jie reacted without a moment's pause. "Ahhh! Heaven Non-Action Asura!"
The Asura Soul Body manifested instantly, its colossal form tearing through Yang Chen’s lightning palm with ease. It stood there, radiating the nearly invincible aura of the Asura Soul Body.
The massive hand of lightning vanished into nothingness, and the duel between Yang Chen and Xuan Jie fell into a tense, immediate stalemate.
