The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3182 - 3177: The Battle with Xuan Jie Again_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Xuan Jie fixed his gaze on Man Yunfei as if he were observing a corpse or a wandering spirit.
Under Xuan Jie's intense scrutiny, Man Yunfei felt an overwhelming weight press down on him; his spine chilled and cold perspiration began to soak his clothes.
The mere glare of Xuan Jie filled him with an instinctive dread, for he was acutely aware of the terrifying and perhaps insurmountable chasm in power that separated them.
Had it not been for the backing of the figure behind him, he would have fled the scene long ago.
Master Fang was also observing this development.
He had always kept a close eye on Man Yunfei, considering him the premier talent of the Sect. This was precisely why he had issued so many warnings to the youth.
Yet, he never anticipated that Man Yunfei would act so foolishly. Despite repeated instructions to avoid a confrontation with Xuan Jie, the boy insisted on opposing him. Was this not a blatant invitation to death?
"What on earth is that brat thinking!" Master Fang muttered, unable to comprehend the logic.
Simultaneously, a cold sneer played on Xuan Jie's lips. "I offered you the chance to crawl away, but you have chosen the road to the underworld. Very well, then die."
Xuan Jie abruptly unleashed his King God Domain, intending to use its power to instantly crush Man Yunfei and end his life!
Under normal circumstances, his King God Domain could easily suppress a Boundaryless cultivator until they perished.
However, the moment his King God Domain expanded, another domain surged from the vicinity and violently slammed into his own.
As the two domains clashed, Xuan Jie’s pupils contracted sharply, and he was forced to recoil three steps.
"Xuan Jie, I am still standing here. To think you could kill him in my presence—isn't that being a bit too conceited?" Yang Chen remarked indifferently.
Yang Chen’s sudden intervention, which forced Xuan Jie back three paces, left Man Yunfei in a state of shock.
What kind of monstrous being was this man?
There was no question, however, that Yang Chen had seized the initiative.
"Yang Chen, you actually showed up!" Xuan Jie's eyes narrowed, flickering with a murderous frost upon seeing Yang Chen emerge.
"If I weren't here, wouldn't you be running wild? Unfortunately for you, I intend to have a hand in this Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine as well," Yang Chen declared.
The powerful surge of Qi now radiating from Yang Chen brought a sense of relief to Master Fang and Han Bo of the Divine Night Sect.
As long as Yang Chen was present, there was hope.
Watching the standoff between Yang Chen and Xuan Jie, many onlookers felt a flicker of anxiety, yet they took comfort in remembering that Yang Chen had successfully faced Xuan Jie before.
At this moment, perhaps only Yang Chen possessed the strength to rival Xuan Jie.
Xuan Jie’s voice turned low and menacing. "Yang Chen, I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time!"
He viewed the death of Xuan Zhen as a profound humiliation and loathed Yang Chen to his very core, desiring nothing more than to tear him limb from limb. However, recalling Yang Chen’s previous display of power, he grew cautious, not daring to make a careless move.
He could clearly sense that Yang Chen’s Cultivation had become even more formidable.
Yang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Brother Man, though a man may be innocent, possessing treasure can make him a target. I shall take charge of these Seven-color Luminous Stones for now. Once we depart this area, I will ensure you receive your portion."
Man Yunfei possessed enough self-awareness to realize that even if Yang Chen occupied Xuan Jie, he would struggle to survive with so many foreign races watching him like prey.
By handing the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine to Yang Chen, the danger would be shifted to him. Given the strength Yang Chen had shown, even if he couldn't defeat everyone, escaping would be a simple task for him.
Despite some lingering doubts, he decided to place his faith in Yang Chen. "Brother Yang Chen, here is the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine!" Man Yunfei passed the ore over, adding, "I will head elsewhere to seek other opportunities."
"Understood, stay vigilant!" Yang Chen replied.
Man Yunfei promptly departed, realizing he would only be a hindrance if he stayed, and went to search for other deposits of the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
Now holding the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine, Yang Chen stowed it within the Demon God Tower and turned to face Xuan Jie.
The two combatants took to the sky, their domains clashing in the air, creating a zone where no one else dared to intrude.
Xuan Jie spoke icily, "Yang Chen, do you truly believe you can escape? Do not be so delusional."
"Xuan Jie, last time when there were two of you, you still couldn't take my life. Do you really think you have the ability to defeat me alone now? You certainly have a high opinion of yourself!" Yang Chen mocked.
Enraged by the mention of their past encounter, veins bulged on Xuan Jie’s forehead as he lunged forward with a palm strike.
"Heavenly Xuan Thunderballs!"
With this technique, a swarm of lightning spheres hurtled toward Yang Chen. "Yang Chen, you only survived last time because you exploited that fool Xuan Zhen’s High Myriad God Asura. Without that distraction, do you honestly think you are a match for me?"
"Hmph, how preposterous!" Yang Chen watched the approaching thunderballs and swept his sleeve, vanishing in a flash.
The thunderballs were undoubtedly potent, but with the power of Spacetime at his disposal, he had no reason to fear such attacks.
Furthermore, he was no longer the same man who had fought the duo previously.
He had already ascended to the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm!
Utilizing Spacetime, Yang Chen manifested directly behind Xuan Jie.
"Deathly Silent Black Wind!"
Within his domain, Yang Chen conjured the Deathly Silent Black Wind, which hissed toward Xuan Jie from all directions.
Realizing Yang Chen had bypassed his thunderballs to teleport behind him, Xuan Jie roared in fury. He hastily pulled back his lightning spheres to intercept the Deathly Silent Black Wind.
The resulting explosion saw the Heavenly Xuan Thunderballs and the Deathly Silent Black Wind cancel each other out in an even match.
Yang Chen then utilized Instantaneous Movement once more, manipulating the Deathly Silent Black Wind to strike from unexpected angles rather than engaging in a direct trial of strength.
It appeared Xuan Jie had anticipated the threat of Yang Chen’s Spacetime Dao Intent. He activated his own Law, manifesting a black vortex around his person. This vortex expanded rapidly just as Yang Chen attempted to use Spacetime to close the distance.
However, Yang Chen discovered that his Spacetime Law was being consumed and nullified the moment it touched the vortex, effectively sealing his Instantaneous Movement.
"Yang Chen, did you think Spacetime Law made you invincible? My Devouring Rules will render your Spacetime Law utterly useless!" Xuan Jie possessed a vast arsenal of techniques and had long since calculated how to counter Yang Chen.
With the black devouring rule blocking Yang Chen’s path, Xuan Jie immediately launched another palm strike aimed at him.
Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the lethality of Xuan Jie’s Devouring Law.
"Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, descend!"
A colossal palm forged of lightning plummeted from the heavens, aiming to crush Xuan Jie where he stood.
Xuan Jie reacted without a moment's pause: "Ahhh, Heaven Non-Action Asura!"
His Asura Soul Body erupted forth, and the massive phantom instantly shredded Yang Chen’s lightning palm. It stood there in a nearly invincible state, embodying the true power of the Asura Soul Body.
As the giant hand dissipated into nothingness, the duel between Yang Chen and Xuan Jie ground into a tense stalemate.
