The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3319 - 3314: Bloodline Distinction_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Seeing this spectacle unfold, the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes stood utterly stunned and sputtering, as if they couldn't trust the sight before them. A few even questioned whether they lingered in a dream that hadn't yet stirred them awake.
They had started off ensnared in utter peril, yet in a flash, safety enveloped them, and those three once haughty and tyrannical Ghost Kings had all met their end right there, without a single survivor.
All of it stemmed from the unassuming human standing right in front of them.
"Who exactly is he?" Xuan Feng had first thought Yang Chen's earlier action seemed rash, but after witnessing the outcome, how could there be any trace of rashness?
"Those three Ghost King powerhouses... just vanished like that?" An Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix close by contracted its eyes, brimming with shock and dread.
Right then, the rest of the Ghostly Yin Spirits struggled to grasp the reality staring them down.
From a flawless setup they possessed, everything crumbled in a heartbeat to this dire turn.
With all three Ghost Kings defeated, they knew staying longer was impossible. Without delay, they turned tail and bolted, never glancing behind.
Yet, breaking free from Yang Chen's azure pattern proved nothing more than a vain illusion.
The three Ghost King powerhouses gone, the leftover minor foes posed no challenge at all to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen bolstered his azure pattern, summoning those full laws and untainted forces in an instant. Countless lesser ghost beings fell under his strikes, with not one left alive.
Toward these Ghostly Yin Spirits, Yang Chen offered no quarter, slaying them at will.
Still, what drew a sigh from Yang Chen was how dispatching these Ghostly Yin Spirits strayed a bit from his aim of staying under the radar.
Luckily, he'd only stepped in after the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, so should the Heaven-appointed Realm's Ghost Kings probe the matter, the trail would lead straight to the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, delaying his own reveal.
Mention of being revealed brought Yang Chen's 'Red Arrest Warrant' to mind.
This Red Arrest Warrant was evidently no ordinary thing. Under normal circumstances, even if a Ghost King spotted who he was, they wouldn't react with such panic.
But regarding the Red Arrest Warrant, those three Ghost Kings from before had shown outright overwhelming fear, even itching to run without clashing, which caught Yang Chen off guard.
Because of that, Yang Chen placed his hands behind his back, gave a soft head shake, and murmured to himself, "I'm afraid this extra Red Arrest Warrant brings nothing good."
Carrying such a label brought far too many dangers. Already, it had painted a target on him from the Netherworld.
Of course, dwelling on it now served no purpose.
Once the Ghostly Yin Spirits were handled, Yang Chen spun around to face the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes.
The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes gazed back at Yang Chen, their faces alight with gratitude as they bowed and declared, "Thank you for your assistance, Daoist friend!"
Yang Chen replied, "It's no big deal, merely lending a hand."
Xuan Feng cupped his hands with a chuckle, "To us, it's far more than a minor aid. We'll engrave this profound favor in our hearts. Incidentally, what brought you here, Daoist friend?"
"Upon first stepping into the Ice and Fire Star, my aim was this very outpost. I noticed one of the captured Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes appeared to hold a key role, so I planned to extract details on the Ice and Fire Star's state from them. But before I could act, I crossed paths with you all!" Yang Chen answered, smiling.
He detected that Xuan Feng's offhand query hid a touch of doubt.
It made sense for the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes to stay wary in this realm, given their precarious footing.
Hearing Yang Chen's explanation, Xuan Feng pieced it together swiftly and grinned, "So Brother Yang Chen shares our objective. We ventured here to rescue a particular Lord. Should Brother Yang Chen have queries later, don't hesitate to ask us. For now, let's move quickly and free this Lord."
"Sounds good, that's ideal." Yang Chen responded.
Xuan Feng took the lead without pause, Yang Chen trailing after.
One by one, they reached the outpost holding the imprisoned Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes before long.
This outpost confined numerous Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, numbering at least dozens. It held Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes across a range of cultivation stages.
Still, Yang Chen's divine soul spread out, zeroing in chiefly on the pair of Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes locked in the deepest part of the prison.
These two Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, a male and a female, had both attained the Heaven-separated Realm in cultivation. The female among them radiated a stronger presence.
Clearly, these two occupied vital roles, prompting Xuan Feng to urge the other Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes to liberate the rest with haste, while he guided Yang Chen straight to their cells.
"Xuan Feng, you've made it!"
The captive male Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix exclaimed with thrill.
Xuan Feng bowed at once and stated, "It's my failure!"
The female Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix spoke softly, "Xuan Feng, you've toiled enough. Rescuing us is already a huge service—how can you call it failure?"
Xuan Feng rubbed his head sheepishly, "Lord Ming Hu praises me too much. I truly yearned to rescue you two Lords, yet my skills fell short. That's why I nearly perished out there. It was only through this human Daoist friend's aid that we overcame the three Ghost Kings. Without that, our lives might have been forfeit."
"What? That occurred!" Ming Hu expressed astonishment and turned to Yang Chen.
Being in the dungeon, they couldn't extend their divine souls, so naturally, they remained unaware of the outer events and felt confused.
Upon catching Xuan Feng's introduction of him, Yang Chen responded steadily, "Daoist Xuan Feng downplays his role. As a fellow human, aiding was only right."
"Even so, we must thank Daoist Yang Chen for your support." Ming Hu said.
"Oh, I neglected to properly introduce myself to Daoist Yang Chen," Xuan Feng added, as he worked to unshackle the two Ice and Fire Sky Phoenixes, "This is Lord Ming Hu, and this is Lord Ling Fei. Both are key members bearing spiritual bloodlines in our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan."
"Spiritual bloodline?" Yang Chen showed surprise.
"Daoist Yang Chen might not realize that our Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix clan possesses bloodlines surpassing the heavens. They're categorized into royal bloodline, spiritual bloodline, our ordinary bloodline, and the basest, weakest one," Xuan Feng clarified.
