The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3262 - 3257: King Ming Cheng’s Choice_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Under this powerful effect, the Ghost King powerhouses faced dire circumstances in their clashes with the human cultivators.
Moments later, multiple Ghost Kings started lagging behind from the impact of the Death Omen Scripture, with one looking close to breaking down entirely.
Yang Chen felt no shock at this development.
The Death Omen Scripture possessed the power to sway and alter the tide of combat!
This marked merely the initial phase of the Death Omen Scripture, far from its peak intensity. As it progressed, its might would grow even more astonishing. Upon hitting its zenith, the Death Omen Scripture's strength would surge dramatically.
This feat left numerous human cultivators gasping in admiration, since Yang Chen managed to aid them despite his duel with Huan Ye Ming Wang.
The chanting of the Death Omen Scripture pressed on, gaining greater force with each advancement.
This development enraged Huan Ye Ming Wang, who was evading the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm from afar, his veins throbbing visibly.
Every one of his followers had suffered the effects.
Realizing he needed to halt Yang Chen, Huan Ye Ming Wang burned with fury.
Yet right as he resolved to act, his form trembled. As a spirit entity, he faced severe suppression from Yang Chen’s Death Omen Scripture. At this pivotal peak of the Death Omen Scripture, Huan Ye Ming Wang found himself unable to withstand the overwhelming force of Yang Chen’s Death Omen Scripture.
In the following instant, Yang Chen’s Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm struck and seized Huan Ye Ming Wang with brutal force.
When Huan Ye Ming Wang snapped back to awareness, he discovered himself firmly gripped by Yang Chen’s Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm.
Nevertheless, being a formidable King of Hell powerhouse, Huan Ye Ming Wang recovered swiftly after the initial strike from Yang Chen’s Death Omen Scripture wounded him. A burst of golden radiance then swept over his frame, as if he aimed to flee via some hidden technique.
Yang Chen, however, had anticipated this and prepared accordingly.
Did he truly believe he could pull off the same escape twice?
Even without knowing the exact nature of that hidden technique, Yang Chen remained fully ready.
"Space-time seal, go!"
Around Huan Ye Ming Wang, the space-time barrier formed in a flash.
Previously, a lone space-time seal had shattered under the foe’s mysterious method. This time, though, Yang Chen first pinned him down with the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm before deploying the space-time seal!
The space-time barrier locked him in place securely, rendering Huan Ye Ming Wang immobile inside the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, frozen like a stone figure.
Right then, Yang Chen clenched the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm with savage intent, aiming to end Huan Ye Ming Wang’s life.
Yet unexpectedly, after that rigid state held for just a single breath, Huan Ye Ming Wang managed to break free using some enigmatic method.
As he fled, a ferocious gale whipped up around Huan Ye Ming Wang, tearing open a breach right in the heart of the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm.
"Yang Chen, you think you can defeat me, no..."
Huan Ye Ming Wang bellowed, but sadly, before his words could end, a soaring sword lanced straight through his skull, severing his form.
Huan Ye Ming Wang’s eyes bulged in disbelief. He believed he had slipped away, unaware that this very breakout sealed his doom.
Yang Chen had foreseen this possibility, with the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword poised nearby for quite some time.
He permitted Huan Ye Ming Wang’s escape once but refused to allow a repeat. Regardless of the secret technique employed, Yang Chen denied him any opportunity to recover.Now, Huan Ye Ming Wang lay utterly vanquished.
Yang Chen extended his hand and pulled, drawing Huan Ye Ming Wang’s storage bag along with his premium Emperor Divine Artifact Hammer into his grasp.
This Emperor Divine Artifact Hammer proved a true gem, yet it held no value for him. He planned to let his other artifacts absorb it later.
Regarding the items inside Huan Ye Ming Wang’s storage bag, none stood out as exceptional treasures; they suited Netherworld Ghosts and offered him scant benefit.
The real prize remained the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag.
The Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag had indeed rested with Huan Ye Ming Wang, now successfully reclaimed.
"This counts as a huge triumph." Yang Chen held up the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag, a grin spreading across his face.
Meanwhile, the fight below began to settle. Despite fewer numbers on the human side, the elite forces of Heavenly Melody Mountain proved formidable, their combat skills compensating for the shortage in manpower.
Moreover, Broken River, Fairy Moon Fu, and their allies displayed impressive prowess, handling multiple foes without issue and even gaining the advantage.
With Yang Chen’s Death Omen Scripture aiding by swiftly dispatching adversaries, victory came naturally.
A few Ghost King powerhouses attempted flight upon realizing the peril, but Broken River and the others spotted them promptly and eliminated every last one.
"Hahaha, we’ve wiped them out completely. Brother Yang Chen, this marks a resounding win for us." Broken River boomed with laughter.
The assembled powerhouses brimmed with joy—who wouldn’t celebrate such a decisive success?
"Brother Yang Chen, did you secure the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag?" Mu Tianhe inquired.
"I did, it was with Huan Ye Ming Wang, and here it is for you all to witness." With a casual motion, Yang Chen displayed the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag.
Upon seeing the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag returned intact, their delight intensified.
But Yang Chen’s expression grew solemn as he gazed afar with arms folded behind him, "It’s about time the fellow Daoists from Grand Abyss Palace revealed themselves after lurking in the shadows for so long."
"Hmm, folks from Grand Abyss Palace?"
Broken River and the rest turned their attention that way, detecting the subtle energies in the distance.
King Ming Cheng understood he could hide no more, let out a sigh, and emerged.
"King Ming Cheng, what’s the meaning of this?" Broken River and his companions adopted a stern demeanor, given the implications of King Ming Cheng’s presence here.
Initially, King Ming Cheng harbored certain schemes, even plotting to seize the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag, but witnessing Yang Chen’s clash with Huan Ye Ming Wang in secret forced him to reconsider.
He observed plainly how Yang Chen’s abilities sufficed to overpower and slay Huan Ye Ming Wang.
He could never match that feat, lacking even the assurance to endure as long as Huan Ye Ming Wang had against Yang Chen.
Assessing the situation now, Yang Chen might not be at full strength, yet he surely retained hidden cards. Should he target King Ming Cheng, dispatching him would pose no challenge.
After weighing his options, King Ming Cheng chose prudence. His faction aligned with Fu Tiandi, leaving no cause to antagonize such a prodigy over the Spirit Separation Ancestor’s interests.
"It’s nothing much, just traveling through. Since you’ve obtained the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag, my congratulations to you. It appears there’s no reason for us from Grand Abyss Palace to linger, so we’ll depart now." King Ming Cheng stated.
The Grand Abyss Palace group stood stunned, puzzled by King Ming Cheng’s words, as they clashed with prior instructions.
Yet with King Ming Cheng’s command, they had no choice but to obey, trailing him closely as they withdrew together.
