The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3375 - 3370: Luring the Enemy into a Trap_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Initially, Yang Chen saw nothing at all, yet once he activated his Lingxi Divine Pupil and gazed toward the cave once more, he noticed faint stirrings.
After examining it more carefully, he discovered that a band of formidable Spiritual Clan cultivators was bustling within the cavern.
In their midst stood two Royal Spirit Gods.
"Fascinating, it's as if fortune delivered this right to my doorstep without any effort. I had intended to hunt for them, yet here I stumble upon two Royal Spirit Gods in this very spot!" Yang Chen remarked with a subtle grin.
A shiver ran through Xingtong's scalp: "Yang Chen, have you lost your mind? Facing two Royal Spirit Gods isn't child's play. With all those spirit gods surrounding them, we stand no chance in battle. Let's seek out another mark instead."
"Chances like these don't come often; passing up these two Royal Spirit Gods would make it tough to locate more. Do you believe Royal Spirit Gods grow on trees like common weeds?" Yang Chen replied, shaking his head.
"Still, the battle strength of these Royal Spirit Gods is overwhelmingly intense. How exactly do we stand against them?" Xingtong exclaimed in disbelief.
Yang Chen responded calmly: "Stick to the initial strategy; you'll lure them out, while I set up the ambush beforehand."
Xingtong shot Yang Chen a fierce glare, baffled at how he could utter such words so nonchalantly. However, witnessing his assured demeanor, she clenched her teeth and declared, "Fine, I'll indulge your madness this once, but you must have my back. If I end up in danger, rescue me right away. I can't hold off two Royal Spirit Gods on my own."
"Rest easy." Noticing Xingtong's alarmed look, Yang Chen chuckled lightly: "Here, take this orb of light; it grants you brief teleportation across space and time. Even against the might of Royal Spirit Gods, they'll hesitate to pursue you now."
With those words, Yang Chen placed his hand on his belly, causing a glowing sphere to detach smoothly.
"What exactly is this...?" Xingtong inquired, confused.
"It's the Space-Time Law that I've drawn out." Yang Chen answered.
Realizing Yang Chen was sharing his space-time essence with her, Xingtong beamed with delight: "This changes everything; armed with this, I have no fears left. Just await my success."
Yang Chen gave a nod and slipped into the darkness, readying himself for the surprise attack.
Xingtong sprang into motion without delay, covertly slipping into the cavern occupied by the Spiritual Clan group.
By this point, the Spirit God Clan individuals had ventured far into the depths.
"Lord Han Tian, why did you spare those human cultivators earlier? There were merely a couple dozen Human Heaven-Separated experts; wiping them out shouldn't pose much challenge for us," one of the senior Spirit God Clan subordinates questioned a Royal Spirit God.
The one called Lord Han Tian responded: "Slaying them would be simple enough, but the map indicates abundant Origin Essences in this region. Those humans remain oblivious, and they carry no worthwhile treasures. Why waste energy on them? Sparking a conflict might leave us open to others exploiting the chaos, and that would be unwise."
"The priority now is securing the Origin Essences. Whether those human cultivators survive a bit longer hardly matters. Should we cross paths again, they might bear additional Origin Essences, making it the perfect moment to strike!" the other Royal Spirit God next to Han Tian murmured softly.
Han Tian offered a slight smile, "Indeed, Brother Di Zun speaks wisely."
Hearing this exchange, the rest of the Spirit God Clan followers felt at ease and ceased their inquiries.
Finally, they arrived at the cavern's innermost sanctum.
There, to their astonishment, lay a river of molten lava.
The seething magma, erupting with fiery bursts, appeared utterly menacing, yet the Spirit God Clan assembly gazed upon it without a trace of dread—only wonder and excitement.
For three Origin Essences hovered suspended over the lava stream.
"Hahaha, our clan's elders spoke true: a lava river lies buried deep within this mountain chain, naturally birthing Origin Essences with ease. To uncover three concealed ones here is beyond expectation!" Han Tian bellowed with laughter.
But in the midst of their triumph, a fleeting shadow darted forth and vanished above the lava, claiming the three Origin Essences in its grasp.
Both Han Tian and Di Zun reeled in shock and fury.
Someone had boldly robbed the Spirit God Clan of their prize!
"Who dares?!" Di Zun's rage ignited a blaze of killing intent across his form as he scanned for the thief.
He spotted Xingtong clutching the three Origin Essences, her face lit with a broad, triumphant smile, evidently thrilled. Without hesitation, she bolted from the area.
"After her! How dare a lowly Insect Mother pilfer from the Spirit God Clan!"
"These Insect Mothers prove utterly unreliable. We once discussed an alliance, yet she turns thief the instant we arrive."
"Eliminate her!"
The furious Spirit God Clan contingent erupted in pursuit without a second's pause.
Han Tian and Di Zun in particular moved with blinding swiftness, outpacing their comrades by a wide margin.
Nevertheless, their velocity placed Xingtong in dire peril.
Xingtong herself was stunned; she hadn't anticipated the Spirit God Clan's velocity to be so staggering. Her own pace wasn't lacking, but it paled in comparison to theirs.
At this rate, her downfall seemed inevitable and imminent.
"Curses!" Xingtong bit down hard, regretting her rash challenge to the Royal Spirit Gods. Thankfully, Yang Chen had provided the light sphere.
With a light press, the sphere's energy surged forth, enveloping her in a Law that fused her essence with the fabric of time and space.
Having partnered with Yang Chen previously, she grasped the basics of his temporal and spatial abilities; thus, seizing this fleeting Space-Time Law, she leaped ahead without delay, her velocity surging dramatically.
The pursuing Spirit God Clan forces, moments from seizing her, found themselves abruptly distanced.
"Impossible!" Han Tian and Di Zun stared in astonishment as Xingtong pulled away.
"Hmph, that Insect Mother arrived with a scheme in mind. Without preparation, she wouldn't have taunted us so boldly! She just employed some unique space-time method. But having roused our ire, escape won't come easily!" Han Tian declared icily.
No sooner had he spoken than his pace accelerated sharply, resuming the hunt.
Xingtong's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she grinned, "Yang Chen's Space-Time Law proves truly dependable. Bearing this Law, I can proceed at leisure."
Though she could outdistance Han Tian and Di Zun with maximum exertion, luring them into the ambush required her to avoid drawing undue attention.
