The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3260 - 3255: Slaying Huan Ye Ming Wang_1

Upon his return, a band of mighty experts had already geared up for action.

"Brother Yang Chen has returned."

These formidable warriors gazed at Yang Chen filled with pure admiration.

With hands clasped behind his back, Yang Chen declared: "Are all of you set? If yes, let's depart right away."

Of course, all these robust powerhouses were fully geared, while Yang Chen alone had been the holdup. Without his arrival, they truly lacked the assurance to confront the Phantom Night Lord.

"I'll take on the Phantom Night Lord myself shortly. The rest of you handle the remaining Ghost King masters. Got any issues with that?" Yang Chen announced.

The assembly exchanged glances and, without surprise, raised no complaints. After all, they had seen Yang Chen's prowess up close.

Though Fairy Moon Fu and her companions might not grasp it fully, the memory lingered of how Yang Chen swiftly slew three Heaven-separated Realm Snake People.

Only someone exceptional could pull off such a feat.

Yet, right before they could launch, Fairy Moon Fu called out, "Hold on, Yang Chen! I refuse to follow your command. Why must you face the Phantom Night Lord? You've yet to defeat me—I want to battle him as well!"

The cluster of strong figures regarded Fairy Moon Fu's willful outburst with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Still, as the prized pupil of Absolute Ease Daoist Ancestor, they simply had to indulge her.

Grasping her motives, Yang Chen replied with a sigh, "Fairy Moon Fu, if you're set on dueling me, you'd better consider what incentive you can provide to sway me, rather than resorting to these misguided tactics. Such actions merely squander your time, mine, and that of the group. You realize the Phantom Night Lord's might—if you could truly clash and triumph over him, I doubt I'd need to rescue you, wouldn't I?"

"You!" Fairy Moon Fu heard Yang Chen's direct retort yet struggled for a comeback. Truth be told, his point rang accurate.

But moments later, she planted her hands on her hips and chuckled, "Brother Yang Chen, what makes you so sure I haven't prepared something to pique your curiosity?"

Yang Chen inquired with doubt, "And what exactly have you prepared to catch my interest?"

"Agree to my challenge, and I'll put in a good word for you with my master. He favors me above all. With my positive endorsement, you might just secure your God Slayer Spear. But refuse, and I'll badmouth you to him instead. Hmph, wonder if he'll hand over that spear then," Fairy Moon Fu teased with a grin.

Yang Chen could only shake his head in wry amusement, aware that Fairy Moon Fu's threat was mere banter and not to be taken at face value. Yet, should she fume and utter harsh words, wouldn't that jeopardize his shot at claiming the God Slayer Spear from her master, Absolute Ease Daoist Ancestor?

"Fairy Moon Fu, remember, I did save your life. It doesn't sit right for you to turn on me this way," Yang Chen pointed out.

Fairy Moon Fu burst into laughter, "We'll settle each matter separately. I'll make good on the debt for my rescue, but on this issue, things stand as they are. What'll you do about it? Thrash me? Nibble on me?"

A chill ran through Yang Chen as he realized yielding to her demand was inevitable.

Accepting would boost his odds of reclaiming the God Slayer Spear at once.

Rejecting it would leave virtually no prospect for the God Slayer Spear.

Yang Chen let out a helpless chuckle, "Fine, Fairy Moon Fu, you've got me. As for the duel, we'll schedule it once the Phantom Night Lord is handled. This isn't the moment."

Fairy Moon Fu tittered, "No need to fret; we'll spar leisurely back at Heavenly Melody Mountain. I keep my promises. Should I fail to aid in recovering your God Slayer Spear, I'll leave you be forever. But succeed I do, and you must face me fairly!"

Yang Chen hadn't anticipated Fairy Moon Fu's candid approach, viewing the God Slayer Spear's return as separate from her vow.

Such tidings brought relief. "Then I owe Miss Yue Fu my thanks ahead of time." Yang Chen grinned.

Yue Fu Fairy rubbed her nose and huffed: "Enough talk—let's move."

The throng of elites found themselves stumped, powerless against Yue Fu Fairy's stubborn streak.

At this point, Yang Chen warmed a bit toward Yue Fu Fairy. She was undeniably capricious, clearly pampered by Absolute Ease Daoist Ancestor. That said, her heart wasn't malicious, making her worth allying with.

No sooner had the group voiced their intent to depart than they surged forward, joined by the Snake People Royal Family and additional powerhouses.

Precisely as Yang Chen mobilized, King Ming Cheng and his allies inevitably spotted the stir.

"Lord King Ming Cheng, Yang Chen's marching out with forces, including Wind Emperor and his crew. What's our play?" queried the Heaven-separated Realm specialist from Grand Abyss Palace.

"Yang Chen visited the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower—unclear if he seized the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag. Undoubtedly, though, this brat holds key insights on it. Tailing Yang Chen to track the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag is the smart move. As he stirs, we'll shadow and adapt! Should the moment arise, we'll seize the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag ourselves," King Ming Cheng declared icily. "If needed, we'll grab the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag."

"We'll heed Lord King Ming Cheng's orders." The Grand Abyss Palace masters smirked.

...

Yang Chen's party had swiftly exited Snake People City by then.

During their exit, per Yang Chen's guidance, all cloaked themselves in law to evade the Heavenly Eye's gaze, then stealthily reached a barren plain.

Beneath that plain lay a shrine buried in the dunes, nigh impossible to spot.

Fixing his gaze on the shrine, hands folded behind, Yang Chen proclaimed: "Huan Ye Ming Wang, you've sensed my presence—why linger in the shadows?"

No sooner had Yang Chen's words faded than the shrine exploded with a tremendous surge of Qi.

In an instant, over a dozen Ghost King Experts emerged, alongside multiple Heaven’s Might Army Snake People at the Heaven-separated Realm.

At their forefront stood Huan Ye Ming Wang.

The two opposing arrays clashed evenly, boasting over fifteen Heaven-separated Realm masters apiece.

Yang Chen's contingent included nine from Heavenly Melody Mountain, four from Blackstone Ancient Castle, and four from the Snake People Royal Family—sixteen Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses in all.

Huan Ye Ming Wang's forces comprised thirteen Ghost King Experts and six Snake People at Heaven-separated Realm, making nineteen such experts altogether.

At this juncture, Yang Chen directly faced off against Huan Ye Ming Wang.

Eyeing the freed Yue Fu Fairy and her companions, Huan Ye Ming Wang cackled viciously: "Yang Chen, you've truly surprised me. Lately, I've observed you shielding with law to dodge the Heavenly Eye—something felt off. As expected, you later subdued Mo Dao and freed the captives. Impressive work."

"The instant you caught on, flight was your best bet. You'd have stood a chance at survival that way. Alas, that's no longer an option," Yang Chen retorted with a laugh.

Veins bulging, Huan Ye Ming Wang scoffed: "Yang Chen, you're overrating yourself. Flee? Absurd. I've waited here precisely for you to deliver what I seek straight to me. You didn't actually believe I was helpless against you, did you? If so, you're dead wrong."

With that, Huan Ye Ming Wang's Ghost Qi billowed fiercely, striking first amid killing intent as he barreled toward Yang Chen.

Witnessing this, Yang Chen unleashed his law fully, smashing into Huan Ye Ming Wang.
