The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3318: 3313: Red Alert_1

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes were now fully on guard, their faces showing utmost gravity and tension.

Out of the more than ten Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes present, a pair had achieved the Heaven-separated Realm in cultivation, whereas the others remained at the Realmless stage. Their fighting strength was truly impressive.

Clearly, the aim of these Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes was to free their captured kin from the trap.

They moved with great speed, exploring required areas and slipping inside as needed, executing everything smoothly. Evidently, a detailed strategy had been mapped out in advance.

Yet, even with the flawless schemes of these Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, a flaw lingered somewhere.

Regrettably, the ghost beings within this fortress appeared thoroughly ready. Restrictions had been placed all around!

While the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes were only midway through their extraction effort and hadn't yet plunged deeper, they activated a restriction. Right then, ghostly visages materialized in the sky, accompanied by chilling chuckles resounding from every side, declaring that every Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix had been spotted.

The cluster of Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes grew frantic, horror etched on their features, fully aware of their exposure.

“Not good, we’ve been found! Let’s go!”

Quick to decide, upon realizing their discovery, they swiftly dropped their intentions, understanding success was out of reach, and readied themselves to flee.

Yet, when they attempted to escape, it proved far too late.

Three Ghost Kings had materialized already, cutting off the route for the group of Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, smirks of chill on their lips, as though ridiculing them for stepping straight into the snare.

“Hehe, Xuan Feng, we were just fretting over how to seize you all. You’ve delivered yourselves to us. Capturing you will earn us rich rewards from the Heavenly Fate Realm Experts,” the three Ghost Kings remarked with grins.

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix called Xuan Feng ground his teeth and bellowed, “Ye Qi, if we had rescued Lord Ming Hu, the three of us Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes might not have been defeated by you ghostly Yin spirits.”

“Hahaha, Xuan Feng, you overestimate yourselves greatly. Even if you rescued Ming Hu, what then? Do you truly believe your Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes can rival our Netherworld? Haha, humans might honor you and offer seats among them, but our Netherworld scorns you petty Phoenixes,” Ye Qi, the Ghost King, mocked with contempt.

“No more chatter, let’s subdue them outright. These free Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes stir chaos all over. The more we nab, the less trouble remains!” one of the Ghost Kings yelled.

With the exchange concluded, the three Ghost Kings launched their assault, as lesser ghost creatures at the Realmless stage rushed forward to encircle the dozen Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes.

In a flash, the fight showed a clear imbalance between the horde of ghost creatures and the dozen Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes.

These Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes stood no chance against the ghost creatures.

Beyond the Realmless Sky Phoenixes, even Xuan Feng and the two at Heaven-separated Realm found themselves sorely outmatched.

Even in single combat, they might not secure a clear edge, much less in a three-against-two mismatch where their techniques fell short.

Should the clash drag on, the finest result for the dozen Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes would be one Heaven-separated Realm Sky Phoenix managing to break free.

And that assumed the most favorable conditions.

From the current scene, the Ghost Kings showed no mercy, intent on wiping out every Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix. By Yang Chen’s reckoning, the entire dozen Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes were fated to perish there, with none escaping.

Witnessing this, Yang Chen could merely exhale softly.

Fortunately, he had meant to intervene at this spot and had no wish to slaughter these foes openly while hiding his identity.

Thus, acting under the shield of these Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes suited him well, potentially drawing less scrutiny from the Heavenly Fate Realm Experts.

Meanwhile, the dozen Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes faced utter peril.

The Heaven-separated Realm Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes were gripped by profound hopelessness.

Xuan Feng clenched his jaws and spat curses, “Ah, you Netherworld Ghosts won’t get off lightly. In my next life, I’ll ensure you pay dearly.”

“A next life? Hahaha, Xuan Feng, you delude yourself. Your next life means your soul remade into a servant of our Netherworld, forever bound to serve it!” Ye Qi, the Ghost King, cackled with superiority.

Xuan Feng trembled all over. Though he recognized the savagery, he couldn't deny this harsh fate.

That was the reality.

Creatures tied to the Life and Death Gates interface, upon dying here, would have their souls seized by the Netherworld, their existences rewritten to join its ranks.

If so, would he remain himself?

He would turn into a total puppet under Netherworld control, utterly subjugated.

Despair filled Xuan Feng’s soul. Was not even death his release?

Ye Qi, the Ghost King, and his two companions howled in laughter. The deeper the despair on Xuan Feng and the others’ faces, the greater their delight.

Their growing anguish only amplified the Ghost Kings’ amusement.

But in that instant, a blue pattern quietly unfurled under their feet.

As the blue pattern emerged, the Ghost Kings jolted in alarm, their complexions draining, uncertain of the cause.

A chill gripped their hearts, their actions grew sluggish, and suddenly they lost all command over their bodies.

“What’s going on…”

“What happened?”

The three Ghost Kings exclaimed in terror together, “Who is it!”

The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, too, stood dumbfounded, unaware of the mighty figure who had come to their aid.

From the darkness, Yang Chen gradually stepped forth.

Upon his appearance, the three Ghost Kings stiffened briefly before shouting in alarm, “You are Yang Chen!”

Yang Chen appeared puzzled, “You know me?”

Initially unconcerned and oblivious, but now facing the Ghost Kings’ looks of dread, he realized his fame had spread.

“The Netherworld’s red-level wanted criminal… you, how dare you appear here?” The three Ghost Kings blanched abruptly.

A faint smile curved Yang Chen’s lips, unclear on the red-level wanted criminal label, yet from the context, the Netherworld evidently viewed him as a prime threat and had marked him accordingly.

“Why I’m here… I see no reason to tell you,” Yang Chen replied coolly, hands clasped behind him.

“Daoist friend, no need for talk. With us three, we’ll eliminate these three Ghost Kings on the spot,” Xuan Feng stated firmly.

Yang Chen eyed Xuan Feng’s battered and drained state with a grin, “Daoist friend Xuan Feng, concentrate on healing yourself first.”

With those words, Yang Chen’s form blurred into a shadow, vanishing instantly.

Spacetime bent to his will!

His velocity created lingering images, and as those images faded, the three Ghost Kings collapsed entirely, none left upright.
