The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3147 - 3142: Giving Face?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
All hope had already drained from her heart.
Suddenly, a crushing aura swept across the distance in the blink of an eye. This pressure was accompanied by a domain that enveloped the entire area, causing the previously composed Mo Wanchou to fly into a rage instantly.
"Hmph, I noticed you lot interfering in secret just now. To dare meddle in this business, I suppose you've grown weary of living. Divine Night Sect, it seems you have forgotten whose territory you are standing on," Mo Wanchou roared, unleashing his own oppressive aura in response.
The one who had intervened was none other than Yang Chen.
For him, taking action was not something that required hesitation.
Throughout his life, Yang Chen acted in a way that left him with no regrets. He had given his word, and a promise was a promise. Had he failed to protect Murong Qi after pledging to do so, he would never have been able to forgive himself.
Thus, without a second thought, Yang Chen erupted with his Domain of Earth, spreading it rapidly in every direction.
As his domain collided with Mo Wanchou’s aura, Yang Chen’s expression turned solemn.
This Mo Wanchou possessed truly remarkable strength, as he was actually capable of pushing back against the Domain of Earth.
"A reincarnated Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivator is indeed a force to be reckoned with." Having gauged his opponent's depth, Yang Chen immediately channeled his most potent Dao Intent.
"What?"
Mo Wanchou felt the surge of a top-tier Dao Intent radiating from within Yang Chen’s Domain of Earth.
"The strongest Dao Intent?" Mo Wanchou’s eyes narrowed. He slammed his foot into the ground, releasing his own Dao Intent to meet the challenge.
Yang Chen was equally startled when the clash began, for the Dao Intent Mo Wanchou displayed was shockingly on par with his own strongest Dao Intent.
Both combatants were masters of the highest level of Dao Intent.
Having possessed such power himself, Mo Wanchou recognized exactly what he was facing.
As these two supreme Dao Intents collided, the minds of the onlookers went blank with shock.
Mo Wanchou’s followers had never imagined a young prodigy existed who could rival their master’s might.
Bei Hongwang and his companions were similarly stunned. Yang Chen had moved with the speed of a lightning bolt, leaving them no time to intervene. Now, he was actually standing toe-to-toe with Mo Wanchou.
Actually, they weren't just evenly matched.
Yang Chen held the upper hand.
His Law surged forward, and with a thunderous roar, he forced Mo Wanchou back several paces.
Mo Wanchou’s pupils contracted in disbelief. Despite possessing the strongest Dao Intent, this was the first time he had ever been repelled by a cultivator of the same rank.
Yang Chen was the very first to achieve this!
Looking at Mo Wanchou, Yang Chen’s gaze turned cold and indifferent. Mo Wanchou’s Cultivation was technically superior, having reached the peak of the half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm.
However, while his opponent wielded a single type of the strongest Dao Intent, Yang Chen possessed three. It was only natural for him to prevail in the initial confrontation.
Mo Wanchou, however, found this impossible to accept. His fists tightened and his blood boiled as he sneered, "Who are you?"
"Yang Chen!" came the calm reply.
At that moment, Murong Qi was overwhelmed with joy. Seeing Yang Chen appear, she nearly broke down in tears of relief.
She managed to restrain herself, however, gazing at Yang Chen with deep emotion. She truly hadn't expected him to come to her rescue at such a critical time.
"The same Yang Chen who took third place on the Great Luo Celestial Stele?" Mo Wanchou placed his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow, clearly recognizing the name.
Yang Chen said coolly, "That is correct. I hope Brother Mo can show me some respect. Murong Qi is a friend of mine, and I intend to join Taiyuan Palace myself in the future. Since we are essentially on the same side, I hope Brother Mo can let this matter go peacefully today."
While he detested Mo Wanchou’s behavior, Yang Chen knew that as a reincarnation of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, Mo Wanchou carried the authority of Taiyuan Palace. Yang Chen wanted to resolve this without a total fallout, to avoid bringing disaster upon the Divine Night Sect or himself.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wanchou chuckled, "You wish to join Taiyuan Palace as well? And you expect me to give you face?"
Yang Chen gave a small nod. "Indeed."
Mo Wanchou sneered in response, "The solution is simple. Hand Murong Qi over to me, and I guarantee you both entry into Taiyuan Palace. If you are truly her friend, you should consider her future. Following me won't result in her being mistreated, will it?"
"As long as Miss Murong is unwilling, I will not permit anyone to coerce her," Yang Chen stated flatly, a flicker of killing intent appearing in his eyes.
Mo Wanchou clearly had no interest in a peaceful compromise.
Hearing these words while sheltering behind him, Murong Qi felt a wave of warmth in her soul.
Mo Wanchou laughed loudly, "So, you are turning me down?"
"You can take it that way," Yang Chen answered.
Mo Wanchou scoffed, "Yang Chen, I recognized your talent and offered you a path. Regrettably, you’ve chosen a dead end. Since that’s your choice, neither you nor Murong Qi have any future with Taiyuan Palace."
Yang Chen hadn't expected Mo Wanchou to be quite this irrational.
Still, he knew Mo Wanchou wasn't bluffing. As a reincarnated expert of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, his word carried the weight of the sect.
So what if he couldn't join Taiyuan Palace?
"If Taiyuan Palace truly follows your whims, then I have no desire to join anyway," Yang Chen declared.
"Hahaha! Not joining is one thing, but neither of you is walking away from here today." Mo Wanchou licked his lips and added, "Both of you are staying."
"Master, are we really doing this? This man is the third-ranked genius of the Great Luo Celestial Stele, and he seems to have ties to the Gold Leisure True Person. If he joins the palace, he would be a massive asset..." one of the subordinates whispered.
More than a dozen followers, every single one a Sky-separating Realm expert, moved to surround them.
Furthermore, there was likely a Destiny Realm guardian hidden in the shadows.
The protection surrounding a Heavenly Extreme Realm reincarnation like Mo Wanchou was ironclad.
When the subordinate finished speaking, Mo Wanchou shot him a freezing look. "Since when do I need to care about the reputation of the Gold Leisure True Person within Taiyuan Palace? Do you have an issue with me barring this brat from the sect?"
"No, not at all!" The Sky-separation Realm cultivator shook with terror.
He understood perfectly that to Mo Wanchou, even a top-three genius of the Great Luo Celestial Stele was trivial.
After all, several generations of such geniuses might pass without producing a single Heavenly Extreme Realm master. Such experts were the ultimate power of any organization.
They were the peak of irreplaceable strength.
