The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3238 - 3233: Strength Exposed_1

Though it looked like they were outnumbered at the moment, that wasn't truly the case. After all, this land belonged to the Snake People Royal Family, with members of the Grand Abyss Palace also in the vicinity.

Despite the rivalry between the Grand Abyss Palace and their group, assistance from them would surely come during a true emergency. Regardless of the peril they faced, fear wouldn't grip them.

Yet the six Ghost Kings had evidently planned ahead. With mocking laughter, they declared, "I'm afraid you won't have the chance to wait for any backup. That service from the Snake people? You actually had the nerve to indulge in it!"

The moment those words escaped their lips, the six Ghost Kings lunged forward aggressively, targeting the quartet that included Yang Chen.

Relying on his robust power, Broken River stepped up to block two of the attackers, as Dao Guangwang and Madame Autumn Plum teamed up against the remaining three. Yang Chen handled a single one on his own.

Yang Chen acted as if he were engaging his opponent, finding the task remarkably straightforward.

In truth, his concern now lay with the predicament of his three companions.

The reason was that those three likely remained unaware of the oddity he'd spotted with a quick look—their inscriptions of Laws and Dao Intent appeared distinctly irregular.

Sure enough, once the battle ignited, the consequences revealed themselves without delay.

As Broken River struck out, the once-vicious gales and imposing aura had vanished entirely. At his full potential, he might not overpower two foes, yet he wouldn't suffer such humiliation. However, with his abilities sharply diminished, the pair of Ghost Kings quickly overpowered him. In this condition, facing even a single adversary would prove challenging, much less two. Should the fight drag on, his survival would hang by a thread.

Madame Autumn Plum and Dao Guangwang found themselves in comparable straits.

Madame Autumn Plum managed without major problems for the time being, whereas Dao Guangwang fared far worse. His vulnerability mirrored Broken River's in its starkness.

"It's those Snake people!" Broken River and Dao Guangwang realized abruptly.

"Hahaha, you're not fools—you've figured it out," the group of Ghost Kings jeered.

"How could this be? The Snake people shouldn't have the power to affect experts like us in the Sky Separation Realm!" Broken River clenched his teeth as he spoke.

One Ghost King, his voice dripping with malice, scoffed, "Your grasp of the matter is simply too shallow. True, the ministrations of these Snake women can't directly injure Sky Separation Realm experts, yet following that indulgence, it disrupts your inscriptions of Laws and Dao Intent, leaving them erratic and unsteady for a brief hour. In that span, your prowess will inevitably drop sharply. Without entering battle, even powerhouses like you in the Sky Separation Realm wouldn't detect it."

"Why haven't we ever learned about this!" Broken River bellowed in fury.

"Hahaha, whenever you humans visit, the Snake people pamper you like revered elders. After a full hour of pleasure, what reason would you have to clash with anyone? And why would the Snake people risk your wrath by revealing this? Besides, even if aware, would you truly abstain? If you're seeking fault, look to your own cravings." The Ghost King chuckled derisively.

"Enough chatter. This guy's clearly buying time. Cut the words—focus on the slaughter."

After exchanging a few taunts, the Ghost Kings burst into laughter and resumed their fierce onslaught.

With his delay tactic exposed, Broken River had no recourse but to bellow and attempt to summon his utmost strength.

Still, the repercussions proved genuine and unavoidable. Despite his desperate efforts to unleash his might, not a shred of it emerged.

Witnessing this, Madame Autumn Plum grew frantic, inwardly hurling curses.

All three of those men, Yang Chen included, harbored strong desires, and upon learning of the delights available, a single Snake person's service fell short—so each selected four.

In their current weakened form, how were they supposed to battle these formidable Ghost King powerhouses?

What hope did she have standing alone?

"This is bad—we need to flee!" Broken River decided, as he could no longer match the pace of the combat.

Persisting in this manner would mean death for all four of them right here.

"Thinking of running? To where?" The Ghost Kings, eyes gleaming with lethal intent and fully prepared, mocked as they sealed off every escape for the group.

In the midst of Broken River's desperate struggle, a lapse in his defense allowed two Ghost Kings to land a resounding strike. Blood erupted from his mouth in a spray.

Right then, Dao Guangwang took a blow too, his frame shuddering violently, on the verge of collapse.

Madame Autumn Plum alone clung to her defense by a thread. Her power let her endure for now, but sustaining it much longer seemed impossible.

"Take out these two first." The Ghost Kings turned their combined fury on Broken River and Dao Guangwang.

As the onslaught began, panic seized Broken River and Dao Guangwang. They had never foreseen meeting their end in such a manner that day.

These six Ghost Kings had clearly deployed some barriers close by, keeping the Wind Emperor and his allies oblivious to the disturbance, or else help would have arrived already.

"I refuse to accept this!" Broken River cried out.

The Ghost Kings sneered coldly, offering no quarter as they pressed in for the kill.

Yet precisely as they prepared to deliver the fatal strikes, a tremendous, overwhelming force plummeted from above, enveloping the entire vicinity.

The instant this force manifested, an expert's domain fully expanded alongside it.

The emergence of this domain pinned the six Ghost Kings in place, rendering even the slightest motion a grueling ordeal.

"What's happening? This can't be right. Our formation blocks the Wind Emperor and the rest from reaching us, and this domain doesn't belong to them either..."

Only upon reflection and a closer glance did the Ghost Kings comprehend.

The domain originated not from any allies, but from the individual they'd dismissed throughout—the apparently unremarkable Yang Chen.

Precisely because they deemed Yang Chen's capabilities insufficient had they assigned just one Ghost King to face him.

Now, however, the depth of their miscalculation dawned on them. For Yang Chen, remaining utterly still, subdued them solely through his commanding domain, leaving them gasping for air.

"What's this!" Broken River, Dao Guangwang, and Madame Autumn Plum stood utterly stunned at that juncture.

Gazing upon Yang Chen, they wondered if their eyes deceived them.

Yang Chen shook his head too. He'd had no plans to intervene originally, as revealing his capabilities prematurely—before luring the true threats—clashed with his strategy!

Yet in this instant, despite his reluctance to unveil his power, circumstances forced his hand.

"If you're so eager for me to display my prowess, then the lot of you six can forfeit your lives right here," Yang Chen stated with serene resolve.

With those words, he casually flicked his hand.

A series of eerily quiet black gusts sliced in from afar, sharp as knives.

One Ghost King powerhouse dropped lifelessly in that instant!
