The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3164 - 3159: Xuan Jie’s Ambush_1

hatred filled Mo Wanchou’s heart at this moment. Since Xuan Zhen could neither truly win nor lose, why did he insist on coming here to stir up trouble? Was there no other place for him to go?

Following these numerous clashes, the image Mo Wanchou projected to the onlookers had shifted drastically from the divine and majestic aura he possessed at the start.

The two rivals now faced one another with bloodshot eyes, both simmering with mutual resentment.

Given the tension, it wasn’t long before the pair engaged in combat once again.

Yang Chen and Ji Yue Shuang observed the unfolding struggle with calm expressions.

Yang Chen had already discerned that Mo Wanchou was incapable of truly handling Xuan Zhen. He had refrained from intervening only because Xuan Zhen’s ultimate goal remained a mystery to him.

While he was certain that Xuan Zhen was operating with a specific purpose, he could not yet identify what that objective was.

By this time, the style of the duel between Mo Wanchou and Xuan Zhen had become so familiar to the spectators that many began to predict how it would end.

Just as everyone anticipated, Xuan Zhen fought only until the midway point before turning to flee once more.

Seeing this, Mo Wanchou initially hesitated to give chase. However, as he glanced back, he recalled the recent rumors circulating in the city regarding people being too cowardly to hunt Xuan Zhen down.

Ultimately, the most effective way to resolve this crisis was to kill Xuan Zhen outright.

Yet, Mo Wanchou had only dared to exchange blows in the immediate vicinity and had never considered a pursuit, which had become a point of contention for many observers.

If Mo Wanchou truly possessed such formidable power, why wouldn't he chase and eliminate Xuan Zhen?

Mo Wanchou weighed this for a moment before gnashing his teeth: "Hmph, what is there to fear? Xuan Zhen isn't that strong; he has lost to me several times already. What’s the big deal in killing him!"

While shouting this, Mo Wanchou had already launched into an aggressive pursuit of Xuan Zhen.

This chase finally provided the satisfaction the many powerful onlookers had been waiting for.

As Mo Wanchou pursued him, he pushed his speed to the absolute limit, noting that Xuan Zhen did not seem to be moving particularly fast.

In truth, his velocity was indeed superior to Xuan Zhen’s. Although Xuan Zhen commanded the power of light, Mo Wanchou wielded the Sun and Moon Law—the ultimate evolution of the Law of Light—ensuring his speed was at least equal to his opponent’s.

Consequently, while trailing Xuan Zhen, he quickly arrived at a secluded and desolate location.

But the moment they reached this spot, Xuan Zhen came to an abrupt halt!

Mo Wanchou let out a mocking laugh: "Xuan Zhen, it looks like you’ve run out of places to hide. Are you ready to meet your end?"

Xuan Zhen replied with a vicious tone, "Mo Wanchou, you worthless trash, I’ve baited you out six times, and you finally had the guts to follow? Hmph, since you were foolish enough to chase me here, today marks the day of your death!"

Mo Wanchou suddenly sensed that something was terribly wrong.

Scanning his surroundings, he felt a powerful aura—one as strong as his own, or perhaps even greater—suddenly descend upon the area.

As this presence manifested, a chill settled in Mo Wanchou’s heart. Turning his head, he discovered another man from the Spirit God Race had appeared behind him.

"Second Brother!" Xuan Zhen’s confidence surged at the sight of this newcomer, and he stared at Mo Wanchou as if he were already a corpse.

"You are the Second Prince of the Spirit God Royal Clan, Xuan Jie!" Mo Wanchou’s pupils contracted as he stared at the man, realizing the gravity of his mistake.

He was already struggling to manage a single Spirit God, let alone the renowned Xuan Jie.

Why was he considered a legend?

It was because Xuan Jie had been Cultivating within the Realmless for 780,000 years and stood on the very threshold of the Heaven-separated Realm, though he had not yet crossed over.

Seven hundred thousand years ago, Xuan Jie was already a terrifying power in the Realmless, much like Xuan Zhen is today. One could only imagine his strength now, nearly an epoch later.

Cold shivers ran down Mo Wanchou’s spine at the thought. It was no wonder Xuan Zhen kept retreating; he had been leading him into a hidden ambush all along.

Standing with his hands tucked behind his back, Xuan Jie cast an indifferent glance at Mo Wanchou and asked, "How did you end up bringing someone else here instead?"

"Second Brother, I couldn't find Yang Chen, but this fellow kept coming out to challenge me. His Cultivation isn't exceptional, but he uses many annoying techniques. Still, his status is quite significant—he appears to be a human Heavenly Extreme Realm Reincarnation. It won't be a waste of your effort, senior brother, to kill him here," Xuan Zhen explained.

Xuan Jie narrowed his eyes, feeling some disappointment that their primary target hadn't been lured out.

However, upon hearing about the Heavenly Extreme Realm Reincarnation, his mood brightened slightly. "Very well, executing a Heavenly Extreme Realm Reincarnation is not a waste of our time!"

Without further delay, the two men struck simultaneously, trapping Mo Wanchou between them.

Mo Wanchou was so terrified that his soul nearly left his body. He didn't dare remain and attempted to flee using every technique at his disposal.

"You think you can escape?"

...

Thus, after Mo Wanchou went after Xuan Zhen, he vanished without a sound or a trace. The people left behind grew anxious, and several Heaven-separated Realm experts soon departed to investigate.

However, just as they began their search, they spotted a battered figure stumbling back. It was none other than Mo Wanchou.

When he finally returned, Mo Wanchou’s aura was a shadow of its former self, and he appeared to be at death's door.

No one understood what had transpired, and despite numerous questions, Mo Wanchou kept his mouth shut and refused to speak.

In this manner, Mo Wanchou was brought back with the assistance of others, and the previous bragging about his dominance over Xuan Zhen was silenced.

After all, seeing Mo Wanchou in such a pathetic state made it impossible to claim he had been the victor.

Consequently, Mo Wanchou remained gravely wounded, showing no signs of recovery even after a month had passed.

Han Bo and Lin Tianyi attempted to gather information, but they were unable to get any details from him.

This caused Yang Chen to frown in private. He had originally intended to use Mo Wanchou's encounter to figure out Xuan Zhen's long-term strategy.

Because Mo Wanchou remained silent, Yang Chen was left entirely in the dark regarding Xuan Zhen’s true plans.

It was evident that Xuan Zhen had not retreated for good. He had used some method to cripple Mo Wanchou and then returned to his rampage, once again leaving the experts of the Grand Abyss Palace in a state of helplessness.

Previously, when Mo Wanchou fought Xuan Zhen, the draws they fought to did nothing to solve the underlying problem. Mo Wanchou was only there to collect a few Liuli Mines from Bi Shuangxing before leaving.

Now that Mo Wanchou was incapacitated, their prospects against Xuan Zhen were even bleaker.

As a result, whenever Xuan Zhen raided the Grand Abyss Palace's mines, he moved as freely as a fish in water, leaving the palace experts trapped in a difficult position.

Many of these Grand Abyss Palace experts could now only place their hopes on Yang Chen—the very man they had previously ignored and targeted.
