The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3156 - 3151: Xuan Zhen’s Fear?_1

Subconsciously, Xuan Zhen felt as though he were witnessing an illusion.

How was it possible for his adversary to appear in this place? Yet, as his vision cleared, Xuan Zhen instinctively recoiled two steps, his gaze saturated with intense dread.

The scenario he feared most had manifested.

Yang Chen stood directly before him.

The only individual capable of making him feel timid and afraid was once again blocking his path.

"It’s you!" Xuan Zhen snarled with rage, "Yang Chen!"

Following their previous encounter, he had conducted a thorough investigation into Yang Chen, uncovering both his name and his background.

The third-ranked genius on the Human Daluo Sky Ranking: Yang Chen.

From the moment Xuan Zhen surfaced, every human Cultivation expert of his rank trembled in his presence, and even those in the Sky-separating Realm felt terror. Yang Chen, however, was the sole exception.

While others lived in fear of Xuan Zhen, it was Xuan Zhen who feared this man.

Now that they were face-to-face again, he struggled to maintain his composure. This clarity only served to sharpen his realization that he was likely no match for the person standing in front of him.

Ji Yue Shuang noticed the sweat breaking out on Xuan Zhen’s face, a sight that left her astonished and deeply confused.

Given Xuan Zhen’s overwhelming power, he should have confronted Yang Chen immediately; why was he suddenly paralyzed by fear?

She understood that the answers lay with Yang Chen, the source of this sudden shift.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Yang Chen remarked, "Xuan Zhen, I wonder if your Cultivation has progressed since our last meeting. I am standing right here; surely you wish to seek your revenge."

A slight smirk played on Yang Chen’s lips as he finished, his provocation couldn't be more blatant.

Despite his mocking tone, his focus remained sharp. His Domain, Dao Intent Inscriptions, and the Power of Laws were already expanding, prepared to end Xuan Zhen’s life once and for all.

His true intent was the total elimination of Xuan Zhen, not a mere exchange of words.

This was the reason he had stationed a group to defend the mine's entrance. He believed that if they could distract Xuan Zhen for even a moment, he could launch a lethal ambush and prevent his escape.

Unfortunately, Guo Huaian’s lack of faith led him to order the group to flee, making it far more difficult to secure a clean kill now.

Enraged by Yang Chen's words, the veins on Xuan Zhen’s forehead bulged with fury.

"Or is it, Xuan Zhen, that you still lack the confidence to defeat me?" Yang Chen asked with a thin smile.

Ji Yue Shuang was stunned, wondering to herself, "Is it possible that Xuan Zhen has already suffered a defeat at Yang Chen’s hands?"

Though Xuan Zhen was consumed by rage and yearned to attack, a sudden wave of caution washed over him. During their last battle, even after summoning numerous Asura souls, he had been unable to overcome Yang Chen.

Currently, he lacked a sufficient number of Shura roots to command. What hope did he have in a fight?

"Yang Chen, our future is long. Let us wait and see!" Xuan Zhen shouted, feigning a stance before preparing to flee the area.

The terror etched on his face was witnessed by everyone within a radius of tens of millions of miles who were observing the conflict.

"What is happening?" Guo Huaian and his companions were equally bewildered.

Yang Chen had no intention of letting Xuan Zhen depart so easily.

"You think you can just leave?" Yang Chen’s pace quickened as his spacetime techniques unfolded, attempting to lock Xuan Zhen in place and cut him off.

Xuan Zhen bellowed, "Yang Chen, if I decide to retreat, do you truly believe you have the power to stop me?"

With those words, he transformed into a streak of light.

Yang Chen immediately utilized his spacetime abilities to give chase, intent on striking Xuan Zhen down where he stood.

When comparing the speed of light to the manipulation of spacetime, the winner was clear.

He had failed to catch him last time, but the circumstances had changed.

Xuan Zhen’s expression twisted in alarm as he realized Yang Chen’s speed was not only equal to his own but likely superior. Panic began to set in.

"Halt!" Yang Chen commanded fiercely.

In an instant, the heavens churned and the light faded. A massive hand with five fingers manifested in the sky, descending to crush the ground below.

The Five Elements surged, each one amplified by the laws of the world. This empowered Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm possessed a destructive force far beyond anything a typical Boundaryless cultivator could produce.

Xuan Zhen was now in a state of total panic. Facing the palm strike, he realized with horror that Yang Chen’s strength had increased significantly since their last encounter.

"Suppress!" Yang Chen roared.

Just as the pressure became unbearable, Xuan Zhen’s body suddenly split into several illusions.

"What?" Yang Chen was caught off guard by this unexpected technique.

These dozens of phantoms were crafted from the Law of Light, making it nearly impossible to distinguish the real body from the fakes. They scattered in every direction, momentarily baffling even Yang Chen’s senses.

Using his spacetime movement, Yang Chen managed to destroy over a dozen of the copies in a heartbeat, but the true Xuan Zhen was not among them and had already vanished.

Seeing this, Yang Chen tightened his grip and let out a frustrated sigh.

A task that should have been finished today would now have to wait.

Nevertheless, the event sent shockwaves through the cultivators of the East City District.

From a distance, Han Bo and Lin Tianyi—who were watching from the fourth floor of the Sky God Tower and had previously dismissed Yang Chen—used their soul sense to monitor every ripple in the area.

They had witnessed Yang Chen driving Xuan Zhen away with perfect clarity.

To be more accurate, it wasn't that Yang Chen had simply chased him; Xuan Zhen had been so terrified that he fled the moment he saw Yang Chen’s face.

They could hardly process what they had seen, realizing only that Yang Chen represented a source of absolute dread for Xuan Zhen.

Countless observers had seen the spectacle.

From the high-ranking guards of the Sky God Tower to the hidden Heavenly Fate Realm experts and the common cultivators of the district...

"Xuan Zhen has caused so much misery in our mines, and now someone has actually chased him off?"

"This is unbelievable. Who is this youth, and how could he possibly terrify Xuan Zhen to such a degree?"

"They must have clashed before. Why else would Xuan Zhen be so frightened of him?"

"Hahaha! To see Xuan Zhen run like a coward... I can die happy now."

A flood of questions filled the minds of the spectators, all of them now intensely curious about Yang Chen.

How had he achieved such a feat?

Meanwhile, Guo Huaian and his team finally snapped out of their daze. Recalling how Yang Chen had forced Xuan Zhen into a retreat, they realized the East City District was about to host a very powerful figure.

"Quickly, follow me to pay our respects to... to Sir Yang Chen," Guo Huaian said, his tone shifting instantly. He led the Boundaryless cultivators and Ji Yue Shuang toward Yang Chen.

"We thank you, Sir Yang Chen, for your assistance in driving away that villain Xuan Zhen," Guo Huaian said, his voice full of flattery.
