The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3293 - 3288: Slaying the Two Great Ghost Kings_1

After listening to those words, Yang Chen lightly shook his head.
Standing at a higher vantage point than the rest, one's view of the world shifts entirely away from theirs. Consequently, the thoughts one holds will differ profoundly from everyone else's.
Should you treat a matter with utmost gravity, the others might dismiss it as mere jest, an attention-seeking ploy, or an absurd assertion.
Even if Yang Chen declared right then that he could resolve the issue, not a soul among them would accept it as truth. Instead, they'd conclude his mind had gone astray.
Considering all this, Yang Chen let out a soft sigh before speaking, "Alright then, since objections abound, why not seek a middle ground?"
Ling Huan Sha grew more baffled by Yang Chen with each passing moment. Initially, she'd pegged him as a troublemaker, yet now his earnestness shone through. It hardly resembled the work of someone stirring chaos.
At that, Ling Huan Sha shared a quick look with her companions, deciding at last to heed Yang Chen's suggestion. "Brother Yang Chen, what sort of middle ground do you propose?" she inquired.
"I’ll lend my aid to the four of you against these two Ghost Kings. Once they’re defeated, I claim none of the Jiyu Essence as reward. Nor do I desire the Jiyu Essence gained from rescuing Zhou Yiming. Yet, upon completion, I require borrowing Zhou Daoyou’s strength for a time. Afterward, I’ll proceed with my initial scheme, drawing every Ghost King to this spot. Then, you’re free to depart with Zhou Yiming—I won’t interfere. How does that sound?" Yang Chen outlined.
He hadn’t planned to expend so many words originally, but circumstances had escalated to this, with the four wary of his disruptions and him equally cautious of their betrayal.
Hearing his proposal, Ling Huan Sha’s confusion deepened. Yang Chen’s offer clearly favored them, yet his choices struck her as wildly imprudent. Was he truly set on luring countless Ghost Kings to meet his end?
The remaining Sky-separation Realm experts raised no protests, for the terms tilted in their favor—who would turn away such an edge?
Yang Chen’s survival meant little to them; they held zero regard for his destiny.
Their sole concern had been Yang Chen sabotaging their efforts, but with the two Ghost Kings charging in for the kill, the mission neared success. What disruption could he muster now?
Ling Huan Sha pondered briefly, fixing Yang Chen with a piercing gaze before replying, "Should Brother Yang Chen mean this in earnest, we hold no qualms."
She’d reconciled herself to it; Yang Chen’s demise bore no weight on her conscience.
"Very well, then let’s move forward and commence," Yang Chen declared.
Following their deliberations, the team resolved all disputes and sprang into motion.
Inside the barrier, the pair of Ghost Kings sensed nothing amiss, allowing the group to linger in hushed stillness, poised in quiet anticipation.
Moments ticked by until a full day had elapsed unnoticed.
Only then did the two Ghost Kings stir to action.
"Hmph, to my mind, this Zhou Yiming is no straightforward sort. He never steps out to greet us proactively when we arrive to fetch him. Surely some scheme lurks beneath," the Chaos Ghost King declared.
The Purple Mountain Ghost King scoffed, "What human lacks scheming thoughts? No matter—we needn’t fret. With the Servitude Restriction binding him, how far could Zhou Yiming’s notions carry him?"
"Indeed. The Servitude Restriction ensures his release poses no threat," the Chaos Ghost King agreed.
As their exchange continued, a heavy quiet descended upon the air.
With each advancing step, their caution intensified manifold.
At last, the mighty duo traded glances, their faces tightening in resolve, before wheeling about to withdraw.
"Trouble—they’ve spotted us! Strike now!" Ling Huan Sha bellowed.
"How did they uncover our perfect hiding? Could it be that fellow surnamed Yang?" the cultivators raged.
"Cut the chatter—focus! We’ve no time for this!" Ling Huan Sha barked.
The bickering ceased at once, and the group unleashed their assault with blinding velocity.
The strike came like a bolt from the blue, propelling the six Heaven-separated Realm fighters into a blazing frenzy to stall the two formidable Ghost Kings.
Frowning at their sluggish retreat, the Chaos Ghost King and Purple Mountain Ghost King scowled fiercely.
"Excellent, excellent. I sensed irregularity before. You Earth Spirit Hall humans persist in scheming here—do you not fear utter ruin?" the Purple Mountain Ghost King intoned icily.
Ling Huan Sha shot back with scorn, "Hehe, worry for your own hides, Ghost Kings. Our flight matters little. The crux is whether you two endure this onslaught."
The Chaos Ghost King erupted in laughter. "Slay us with your puny might? Dream on. And Zhou Yiming, I always suspected your treachery. Hmph, soon you’ll beg for death."
Thereafter, both the Chaos Ghost King and Purple Mountain Ghost King fixated on evasion.
In a flash, they surged ahead at maximum pace, desperate to bolt from the fray.
Yet Ling Huan Sha and her allies had anticipated this, splitting their ranks deftly for frontal assaults or flanking maneuvers—their strategy proved devastatingly potent.
Yang Chen held back from joining the fray, opting instead to deploy his spacetime envelopment, transforming the area into a sealed domain.
With the isolated realm established, no echoes of the clashes could leak outward.
His priorities diverged sharply from the group’s. They aimed solely to eliminate threats and slip away unscathed.
His intent, however, was to avoid alerting the prey and ensnare them all at once.
Thus, he’d primed the veil of secrecy beforehand.
Now, with the spacetime arrayed, the two Ghost Kings appeared to sense a shift, though their focus locked onto Ling Huan Sha and her team.
This stemmed partly from the relentless barrage by Ling Huan Sha and the rest, freeing Yang Chen to delay his involvement. At present, his entry or absence altered little.
His sole duty lay in surveilling the two Ghost Kings, ensuring neither slipped free.
Ling Huan Sha alongside the five other Heaven-separated Realm warriors wielded an arsenal of cunning ploys, with Ling Huan Sha standing out. Yang Chen had figured her allure arts would barely faze the Ghost Kings.
Yet upon glimpsing her, the duo evinced clear caution, averting their gazes entirely. Evidently, they’d tasted defeat from her wiles in prior clashes.
In the heat of battle, the Ghost Kings wielded immense might, but pitted against five adversaries, their strength waned. They faltered visibly, swelling the morale of Ling Huan Sha and her comrades.
Yang Chen’s sharp eye caught the Ghost Kings’ glances darting about ceaselessly, hunting for an opening to flee.
Precisely as he’d foreseen.
Though the Ghost Kings battled with seeming ferocity, as though wagering their existences, they abruptly shifted...
