The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3238 - 3233: Strength Exposed_1

Though they appeared outnumbered at the moment, that wasn't truly the case. After all, this was the domain of the Snake People Royal Family, and members of the Grand Abyss Palace were nearby too.

Despite the rivalry between the Grand Abyss Palace and their group, those folks would surely step in during a real emergency. No matter the peril, they had no reason to fear.

Yet the six Ghost Kings had obviously planned ahead. With mocking laughs, they declared, "I'm afraid none of you will last long enough for backup to arrive. Indulging in the Snake people's hospitality? You've got some nerve!"

The words had barely escaped when the six Ghost Kings launched their assault, rushing directly toward Yang Chen and his three companions.

Broken River, trusting in his own prowess, stepped forward to hold off two of the attackers, as Dao Guangwang and Madame Autumn Plum teamed up against the other three. Yang Chen took on just one by himself.

Yang Chen feigned a struggle against his opponent, handling it with surprising ease.

His real concern, though, lay with how the other three were faring.

For when he'd glanced their way earlier, he'd spotted something off about the inscriptions of Laws and Dao Intent inside them.

Sure enough, the instant combat erupted, the consequences revealed themselves.

Broken River's strikes now lacked the savage gales and imposing aura of before. At full strength, he might've held his own somewhat against two foes, avoiding total humiliation. But weakened as he was, his abilities had sharply declined, leaving him quickly overpowered by the pair of Ghost Kings. In this condition, even one enemy would tax him heavily, never mind two. If things dragged on, his survival hung by a thread.

Madame Autumn Plum and Dao Guangwang faced comparable troubles.

Madame Autumn Plum managed without major hitches, but Dao Guangwang struggled just like Broken River, his vulnerabilities plain to see.

"It's those Snake people!" Broken River and Dao Guangwang realized in a flash.

"Hahaha, not bad—you've figured it out," the Ghost Kings jeered.

"How could this happen? We Sky Separation Realm Experts shouldn't be affected by the Snake people at all!" Broken River gnashed his teeth.

One Ghost King, his voice dripping with malice, sneered, "Your grasp of the facts is too shallow. True, the charms of these Snake women can't directly injure Sky Separation Realm Experts. But once you've relaxed into it, your inscriptions of Laws and Dao Intent become unstable and disordered for a full hour afterward. In that window, your power drops off a cliff. If you're not fighting, even experts like you wouldn't detect it."

"Why haven't we ever heard about this?!" Broken River bellowed in fury.

"Hahaha, when you humans visit, the Snake people pamper you like honored elders. After an hour of pleasure, who'd pick a fight? And why would they risk your wrath by spilling the secret? Besides, even if you knew, would you really skip the fun? If you're pointing fingers, look to your own cravings." The Ghost King chuckled darkly.

"Enough chatter. This guy's just buying time. Cut the talk—focus on finishing them."

The Ghost Kings snickered and pressed their attack once more after the brief exchange.

With his delay tactic exposed, Broken River could only bellow and pour every ounce of effort into the battle.

But the drawbacks were genuine, not some illusion. No matter his desperation to summon his full might, it simply wouldn't emerge.

Witnessing this, Madame Autumn Plum grew frantic inside and silently fumed.

All three of her companions, Yang Chen included, had given in to temptation. Hearing of such delights, one Snake person's attentions hadn't sufficed—they'd each demanded four.

Now they were all compromised like this. How could they stand against these Ghost King powerhouses?

What chance did she have on her own?

"This is bad—we need to flee!" Broken River decided, unable to keep pace any longer.

Staying meant death for all four of them.

"Escape? To where?" The Ghost Kings, eyes gleaming with killing intent and fully prepared, mocked them while encircling the group tightly.

As Broken River battled fiercely, a single lapse in defense allowed two Ghost Kings to slam into him with a thunderous crash. Blood sprayed from his lips.

Dao Guangwang took a hit too in that instant, his frame shuddering—he clearly wouldn't endure much more.

Only Madame Autumn Plum clung on by a thread. Her power let her fend them off for now, but sustaining it wouldn't last.

"Take out these two first." The Ghost Kings targeted Broken River and Dao Guangwang together.

As the blows rained down, panic gripped Broken River and Dao Guangwang. They couldn't fathom ending up like this today.

The six Ghost Kings had clearly deployed some barrier nearby, keeping Wind Emperor and the rest oblivious to the chaos here—otherwise, aid would've come by now.

"I refuse to die like this!" Broken River cried out.

The Ghost Kings sneered coldly, showing no quarter as they closed in for the kill.

Yet right as their strikes were set to land, a vast and crushing force plummeted from above, blanketing the entire area.

This force arrived with the full unfolding of an expert's domain.

The domain's emergence locked the six Ghost Kings in place, rendering movement nearly impossible.

"What's happening? This can't be—we laid a formation to block Wind Emperor and the others, and this domain isn't from them..."

The Ghost Kings pieced it together upon reflection and another look.

The domain hadn't come from any rescuers—it stemmed from the one they'd dismissed as weak, the unassuming Yang Chen.

Precisely because they'd underestimated Yang Chen's capabilities had they assigned just one Ghost King to him.

Now they saw the grave error in that assumption. Yang Chen hadn't even budged, yet his domain overpowered them utterly, squeezing the air from their lungs.

"What in the world?!" Broken River, Dao Guangwang, and Madame Autumn Plum stood utterly stunned.

Gazing at Yang Chen, they wondered if their eyes deceived them.

Yang Chen shook his head too. He'd had no plans to intervene, as revealing his power before luring out the main threats clashed with his strategy!

But circumstances forced his hand now, exposure be damned.

"If you insist on forcing my hand, then all six of you can stay here forever," Yang Chen stated with cool resolve.

With those words, he flicked his wrist lightly.

Deadly black winds, silent and sharp as scythes, sliced through from afar.

One Ghost King powerhouse dropped dead instantly!
