The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3208 - 3203: Startling Retreat of the Four Great Heaven’s Mandates_1

Yang Chen had truly believed his end was near. These four Heavenly Fate Realm masters possessed formidable techniques that were simply overwhelming. Even though he had successfully stepped into the Heaven-separated Realm, he remained a level below them and was completely suppressed.

To his surprise, a savior had intervened at the final moment.

Looking up, Yang Chen spotted an unfamiliar figure standing alongside the familiar Ji Yue Shuang. He called out with relief, "Miss Ji."

Ji Yue Shuang’s face was pale with lingering dread, having witnessed Yang Chen’s narrow escape from death. "Yang Chen, you gave me such a fright. I am so relieved you are safe."

Yang Chen offered a smile, "I am grateful to you, Miss Ji, for coming to my aid. Might I ask who this gentleman is?"

"This is Senior Brother Gu Jianchou. My Master arranged for him, a Heavenly Fate Realm expert, to rescue you. My Senior Brother is incredible; with him here, you can finally relax," Ji Yue Shuang explained with a bright grin.

Gu Jianchou’s expression twitched slightly, feeling a bit put on the spot.

While he possessed great confidence in his own martial prowess, he had never anticipated that the Grand Abyss Palace would value Yang Chen’s life so highly. To send four Heavenly Fate Realm experts just to eliminate a single junior was unprecedented.

It was no wonder the boy was in such a wretched state. In fact, Gu Jianchou felt it was a miracle that Yang Chen had managed to stay alive until his arrival.

"Gu Jianchou!" Yi Tian and Han Yi both hissed, their pupils contracting as they recognized the newcomer.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Gu Jianchou leveled a freezing gaze at the four of them. "We are old acquaintances. I trust you have been well," he said in a measured tone. "The Grand Abyss Palace has certainly gone to extremes. Instead of utilizing your strength against the alien tribes, you have dispatched four World Embryo Realm experts to hunt a junior who just reached the Heaven-separated Realm. Do you not find such actions shameful?"

Despite his calm exterior, Gu Jianchou felt the weight of the situation. Facing four World Embryo Stage experts of the Heavenly Fate Realm was no small matter.

Even within the three great powers like the Divine Night Sect, such a concentration of combat strength was rare.

The Grand Abyss Palace had actually mobilized four of them at once!

To be honest, he felt he could handle two or perhaps three, but four was a different story.

"Gu Jianchou, you have some nerve lecturing us. What is your intent? Does the Divine Night Sect wish to openly oppose our Grand Abyss Palace?" Han Yi demanded coldly.

Gu Jianchou responded with a mocking sneer, "Han Yi, do not attempt to intimidate me with such rhetoric. That might work on a Heaven-separated Realm junior, but did you think I would be so easily cowed? Hmph, if a conflict is what you desire, do you think the Divine Night Sect fears the Grand Abyss Palace?"

Han Yi felt a chill of irritation at Gu Jianchou’s stubbornness.

He barked, "Are you truly speaking on behalf of the entire Divine Night Sect?"

Gu Jianchou’s brows furrowed in annoyance. These people from the Grand Abyss Palace were always threatening to sever ties. Did they consider the Divine Night Sect to be some weakling?

"Han Yi, I have come to save Yang Chen today under the direct orders of the Divine Night Sect Ancestors. We are protecting him because we refuse to see such a talent wasted. We have no desire for war with the Grand Abyss Palace. However, if your sect insists on that interpretation, the Divine Night Sect will not back down."

Gu Jianchou continued firmly, "I am committed to protecting Yang Chen today. I suggest the four of you consider your next move carefully!"

"Consider our move? Hahaha! Gu Jianchou, you certainly have a high opinion of yourself. We have been hunting Yang Chen for a long time; do you think we will just let you walk away with him? Do you think the four of us are mere decorations?" Han Yi roared.

He was acutely aware of the dire consequences if Yang Chen escaped. He could not simply give up.

Gu Jianchou knew he lacked the power to defeat four opponents at once, but he also knew that showing any sign of hesitation would only invite them to strike.

"Han Yi, it seems you have forgotten the bitter lessons I taught you when we were younger. No matter. I have been in seclusion for many years and my skills are a bit rusty. I wouldn't mind using the four of you for a bit of practice!" Gu Jianchou remarked nonchalantly.

Han Yi’s heart wavered at those words. He replied with a mix of doubt and suspicion, "Gu Jianchou, stop your boasting. You may have been superior during our Realmless and Heaven-separated Realm days, but now that we have all achieved the Heavenly Fate Realm, the rules have changed. You are at the World Embryo Stage just like us. Do you really believe you can prevail against four of us?"

Gu Jianchou let out a boisterous laugh. "Prevail? I never worry about winning when I step into a fight. If the four of you believe I am an easy target because I am alone, then step forward. I might not be able to beat all four of you, but I can certainly drag one or two of you to the grave with me. Which of you is prepared to die today?"

Hearing this, the four Heavenly Fate experts instinctively retreated a step.

While they were certain of their collective victory, they knew Gu Jianchou was a madman. If they pushed him too far and he decided to self-destruct or focus all his power on one person, who would want to be that victim?

Han Yi was desperate because he was responsible, but Yi Tian and the others were not willing to gamble their lives.

"Gu Jianchou is a lunatic. Let us end this for today. He is acting as a representative of the Divine Night Sect. We will return and report this to the Spirit Separation Ancestor and let him decide the next step," Yi Tian suggested.

Han Yi snapped, "The four of us could easily crush him! What are you so afraid of?"

"If you wish to fight, that is your choice, Brother Han Yi. We agreed to help you hunt Yang Chen, but we never agreed to wage war against a Heavenly Fate Realm expert," the other two masters added.

Han Yi felt a surge of frustration. They could afford to be indifferent, but he was the one on the hook for this mission.

Seeing his allies back down, he had no choice. "Fine, Gu Jianchou. I shall bring your words and your arrogance to the attention of the Spirit Separation Daozu. We are leaving!"

Left with no alternative, Han Yi retreated with his group.

Gu Jianchou waited until they were gone before letting out a long, hidden sigh of relief.

Ji Yue Shuang’s eyes sparkled with admiration. "Senior Brother Gu, you were magnificent! You drove all four of them away by yourself!"

"Magnificent? You should be thankful your Senior Brother is a talented actor. I never expected the Grand Abyss Palace to be so desperate as to send four Heavenly Fate Realm experts. Fortunately, they weren't willing to pay the blood price to kill Yang Chen. Otherwise, I would have had to grab you both and run, and even then, I’m not sure we would have made it," Gu Jianchou said, shaking his head.

Yang Chen bowed deeply in gratitude. "I thank you, Senior Gu, for saving my life."

Gu Jianchou looked Yang Chen over. "Kid, you certainly caused a massive stir while I was in seclusion. You even managed to kill Mo Wanchou. I must say, I like your guts. Hahaha! You remind me of myself when I was younger. Now, come with me, Yang Chen. The Ancestors of the Divine Night Sect are very eager to meet you!"
