The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3349 - 3344: A Great Battle_1

“Half an hour?”

At these words, Yue Xingzhenren and Yang Chen both began contemplating right away.

Though a bit hesitant, Yue Xingzhenren spoke up anyway, “In that half hour, I’ll draw out the remaining Ghost King, Brother Yang Chen. Once we team up, we can’t let them slip away—we have to seize every opportunity to eliminate them. With them gone, we’ll hold the upper hand in future clashes.”

Yang Chen replied, “No problem!”

Yue Xingzhenren burst into loud laughter, “Yang Chen, you’ve not only rescued me this time, but now I must ask for your help once more. I’ve made up my mind: I won’t claim any share of this Jiyu Essence—it’s all yours!”

“How could I possibly take it?” Yang Chen exclaimed in surprise, “Even if you agree, what about explaining it to your subordinates regarding their rewards?”

“Hahaha, I’ve got loads of Jiyu Essence left with me. Surely that’ll suffice to hand out to the subordinates?” Yue Xingzhenren chuckled deeply.

Yang Chen couldn’t suppress a grin, “That doesn’t sit right!”

“Oh? Yang Chen, are you trying to keep us at arm’s length? If you keep turning it down, I’ll start believing you don’t see me as a true friend.” Yue Xingzhenren stated firmly.

Faced with this, Yang Chen had no choice but to relent with a sigh, “Fine then, since Senior Yue Xing holds this junior in such high regard, I’ll accept it gratefully.”

“Now that’s the spirit.” Yue Xingzhenren roared with laughter.

To him, handing over all the credit to Yang Chen eased his heavy conscience.

After all, without Yang Chen’s rescue, he’d never have gotten another shot at battle!

Right now, for him, unleashing a fierce fight and releasing his pent-up rage was already a precious opportunity!

“Very well, everyone, prepare yourselves. We’re on the verge of a massive showdown. Once your wounds are mended, in two months we’ll march forth and clash decisively with the Netherworld Ghosts here on Ice and Fire Star.” Yue Xingzhenren declared, his voice thick with killing intent.

The assembled powerhouses, fired up by his words, brimmed with battle fervor as they focused on recovering and gearing up for the confrontation.

…

Thus, the mighty figures restored their vigor, and time flew by in an instant. Before long, months had slipped past.

For cultivators, a span of months was merely a fleeting moment.

Months onward, every formidable expert from the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix stronghold mobilized, heading straight for the haunts of Zhen Gong Ghost King and Wind and Thunder Ghost King.

Zhen Gong Ghost King and Wind and Thunder Ghost King, sharp as they were, detected the anomaly and summoned back all the Ghost Kings posted beyond their base, posting just a handful of Ghost King Experts on patrol duty.

Yet, the very next day, those patrolling Ghost King Experts vanished into thin air, ensnared without a trace.

Zhen Gong Ghost King and Wind and Thunder Ghost King witnessed the entire scene.

Only then did Zhen Gong Ghost King and Wind and Thunder Ghost King grow truly wary.

Still, the human forces had no plans for stealthy strikes. Days after, they boldly showed up right over the stronghold,

at the forefront stood Yue Xingzhenren and Star Red Worm Mother.

“Hahaha, Zhen Gong Ghost King, Wind and Thunder Ghost King, enough skulking—come out and face me!” Yue Xingzhenren bellowed.

At the sound of Yue Xingzhenren’s call, the pair of mighty Ghost Kings swiftly materialized in the sky.

These two were precisely Zhen Gong Ghost King and Wind and Thunder Ghost King.

Zhen Gong Ghost King’s voice dripped with ice, his laugh mocking, “Yue Xingzhenren, I never thought you’d bounce back so fast after all that captivity. What’s the matter—after getting returned for a while, you’re nostalgic for this spot and itching to get chained up by us once more?”

Zhen Gong Ghost King’s barbs cut deep, striking right at Yue Xingzhenren’s sore spot.

But Yue Xingzhenren, with his profound scheming mind, wouldn’t get rattled so easily by Zhen Gong Ghost King.

He still had his strategy in play.

Yue Xingzhenren smirked, “I do long for you two, but whether you can cage me as your captive again depends on what you’re truly capable of.”

Wind and Thunder Ghost King guffawed, “Yue Xingzhenren, I was curious who you’d roped in to bail you out—turns out it’s this Worm Mother. Hmph, looks like Four-direction Ghost King fell from getting sloppy, but do you honestly believe this Worm Mother measures up to a Heaven-appointed Realm Expert?”

Yue Xingzhenren, arms clasped behind his back, chuckled, “Why not test it yourselves and see?”

These words genuinely startled Zhen Gong Ghost King and Wind and Thunder Ghost King. They couldn’t deny their doubts, especially with Four-direction Ghost King’s demise staring them in the face. A single lapse could spell their end.

Yet, with foes pressing at the gates, backing down wasn’t an option.

Wind and Thunder Ghost King huffed, “Fine, let’s see what tricks this Worm Mother has up her sleeve.”

Saying so, he advanced boldly, charging directly at Star Tung.

In line with the scheme, Star Tung kept her composure, projecting an air of assurance.

She swiftly struck, unleashing the Insect Race swarm she commanded.

Even so, despite her steady front, the chasm between her and the Heaven-appointed Realm proved unbridgeable. Her Insect Races boasted sheer numbers, yet they lagged far behind in actual combat prowess.

This thrilled Wind and Thunder Ghost King, convincing him that Star Tung posed no real threat.

After all, they’d shared Ice and Fire Star with Star Tung for ages, so her capabilities weren’t a mystery to them.

But moments later, Zhen Gong Ghost King warned, “Watch yourself—this Star Tung took down Four-direction Ghost King, so she’s hiding some aces. Don’t repeat his mistake.”

Heeding the caution, Wind and Thunder Ghost King dropped his arrogance. Snatching Star Tung would’ve been quick otherwise, but now, with vigilance in tow, a swift victory slipped from his grasp.

After alerting Wind and Thunder Ghost King, Zhen Gong Ghost King lunged toward Yue Xingzhenren without delay.

“Yue Xingzhenren, eat this strike!” Zhen Gong Ghost King’s assault roared with ferocity.

In a flash, the two sides plunged into a furious skirmish.

Yue Xingzhenren clashed with Zhen Gong Ghost King, Star Tung battled Wind and Thunder Ghost King, while the rest of the powerhouses tangled with the Netherworld’s Heaven-separated Ghost Kings.

For the moment, the humans found themselves sorely outmatched.

Be it the count of Heaven-separated realm masters or their fighting strength, they fell short across the board.

Yue Xingzhenren took in the full picture, and anxiety gripped him briefly.

He understood his own power limits all too well, knowing that even in a solo duel, as a Heaven-appointed realm expert, he barely held his own against either of these Heaven-appointed Ghost Kings.

Spotting the edge they held, Zhen Gong Ghost King sneered, “Yue Xingzhenren, is that your best? Hahaha, seems like you showed up today just to meet your doom!”

Yue Xingzhenren paid him no mind and abruptly wheeled about, bolting away.

Witnessing Yue Xingzhenren’s flight, Zhen Gong Ghost King’s murderous aura flared, and he pursued relentlessly.
