The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3343 - 3338: Can’t Recover?_1

Quite a few individuals were aware of the deep-seated feud between Fu Xuanbing and Yang Chen.

This is precisely why they felt a bit of pity for Fu Xuanbing moments ago. After all, their own conflicts with Yang Chen were rather minor, unlike the intense rivalry he shared with Fu Xuanbing.

Fu Xuanbing had now thrown all sense of pride aside, and with events unfolding this way, he pleaded desperately: "Yang Chen, Sir, please don’t remember the faults of an insignificant person like me. It was my mistake. Let me go this time, and in the future, I will follow you and submit to you."

Yang Chen gazed upon Fu Xuanbing's desperate pleas, his face remaining utterly unmoved: "Fu Xuanbing, everyone else has a chance, but you don’t."

"Yang Chen, what’s between you and this guy..." Yue Xingzhenren inquired, his voice laced with astonishment.

In his view, even in such dire circumstances, it was wiser to stand united against the foe. Internal strife among Earth Spirit Hall members could only spell disaster.

Noticing Yue Xingzhenren's query, Yang Chen shook his head: "Senior Yue Xing may not be aware of his despicable deeds."

"What has this kid done?" Yue Xingzhenren pressed, puzzled.

Yang Chen recounted the entire affair, revealing that Fu Xuanbing's prior misdeeds were things he had chosen to overlook. He wouldn't have hesitated to retaliate, but sparing a life wasn't out of mercy.

Yet, Fu Xuanbing's gravest error was revealing Yang Chen's location, endangering the entire group in the process.

These were acts of outright betrayal and disloyalty to his comrades.

Upon hearing Yang Chen's account, Yue Xingzhenren froze momentarily, then exclaimed in shock, "You leaked Yang Chen’s whereabouts to the netherworld forces?"

Faced with Yue Xingzhenren's direct accusation, Fu Xuanbing couldn't possibly confess. He bellowed furiously like rolling thunder, "No, of course not. Senior Yue Xing, don’t listen to this person’s nonsense. You can all testify for me, right? I didn’t do these things, I didn’t."

Fu Xuanbing turned to his followers, convinced they would shield him in this crisis.

These subordinates, after all, belonged to him.

But he had overrated his influence and underrated the fickleness of loyalty.

The moment his words ended, Hu Kui and the rest responded instantly without a shred of doubt, "Fu Xuanbing, stop making excuses. You told the Ghost Kings about Yang Chen’s whereabouts in detail, and everyone saw it clearly. You want to drag us all down with you when your life is at stake, but everyone knows what you’re doing."

"That’s right, Fu Xuanbing, you better just admit it."

Suddenly, Hu Kui and his former allies, who had once trailed Fu Xuanbing, flipped sides entirely, their blades now aimed squarely at him.

This betrayal left Fu Xuanbing quaking, utterly unable to comprehend the turn of events.

He failed to realize that by scheming to sacrifice the group for his own survival, he had already forfeited all respect, and now his reputation lay in utter ruins.

"You ungrateful people, have you forgotten how well I treated you when you followed me?" Fu Xuanbing thundered in rage.

The assembly stayed mute, turning a deaf ear to his outbursts.

Only now did Fu Xuanbing's frame shake violently, grasping the full extent of his own worthlessness.

Initially, he dismissed Yang Chen as mere vermin, despite the youth's impressive victories and seized spoils. He remained convinced Yang Chen could never match him.

Even as Yang Chen's accomplishments mounted, Fu Xuanbing clung to the belief of an unbridgeable gap between them.

It was in this moment that he understood the real nobody was none other than himself.

Yang Chen's mere presence had seized control of his destiny, isolating him from even his closest allies.

"Very well, Fu Xuanbing, you’ve really committed such a heinous act," Yue Xingzhenren declared in fury. "Yang Chen, there’s no need to be polite to such people, just kill him directly. If anything happens, I’ll take the blame!"

Yue Xingzhenren's ultimatum sent a chill straight through Fu Xuanbing's core.

Yang Chen might merely withhold aid, but Yue Xingzhenren wielded far greater authority, capable of commanding his execution outright. The disparity in their stature was immense.

Overwhelmed by terror, Fu Xuanbing cast aside all restraint: "Senior Yue Xing, you must think twice. This Yang Chen just used the means of the netherworld and cooperated with the insect race. He must have many secrets on him. This person is not to be trusted, and I am innocent."

Yue Xingzhenren dismissed Fu Xuanbing's frantic lies without a second thought, his tone icy: "Yang Chen, kill him."

Yang Chen, naturally, showed no reluctance. With a flick of his sleeve, Fu Xuanbing's protests were cut short, and his Qi vanished into nothingness.

As Fu Xuanbing met his end, onlookers felt a shiver run down their spines, thankful their own quarrels with Yang Chen weren't as severe. Had they been, their fate today might have mirrored his closely.

Regrettably, though free of enmity toward Yang Chen, they had also squandered the prime chance to gain his favor.

"Alright, we shouldn’t stay here for long. Let’s leave this place quickly," Yang Chen commanded.

Led by Yang Chen, the party departed swiftly.

...

Shortly after Yang Chen's group vanished, a handful of shadowy forms materialized in the area.

Should Yang Chen have remained, he would have instantly identified them as the renowned Earthquake Palace Ghost King and Wind-Thunder Ghost King, overlords of the Ice and Fire Star.

The Earthquake Palace Ghost King and Wind-Thunder Ghost King stood as two mighty Ghost Kings from the Heaven-appointed Realm, beyond the core Four-direction Ghost Kings. They arrived with an aura of formidable power and grave intent.

"The Four-directions Ghost King has died." The Wind-Thunder Ghost King announced gravely, scanning the surroundings. "His Qi has completely disappeared, and with the air that hasn’t completely dispersed, his demise should be real."

The Earthquake Palace Ghost King surveyed the scene with a stoic face, "Yue Xingzhenren has been saved."

"Yes, we thought the situation was under our control at first, but we didn’t expect the people of the Earth Spirit Hall to reach this level. Earthquake Palace Brother, what do you think we should do next?" Wind-Thunder Ghost King queried.

The Earthquake Palace Ghost King let out a cold huff, "This person can kill the Four-direction Ghost King, so he must have some ability. However, the Four-direction Ghost King must have died due to carelessness. This person’s strength should be within the early stage of the Heavenly Fate Realm, similar to ours. As long as the two of us make thorough preparations and slowly discover this person, killing him will not be difficult."

"It seems that the Earth Spirit Hall has sent another early stage Heavenly Fate Realm master. But what about Yue Xingzhenren? What if he recovers his strength after being saved? It won’t be easy for us to deal with him," Wind-Thunder Ghost King remarked.

The Earthquake Palace Ghost King smirked disdainfully, "Don’t worry, Yue Xingzhenren’s body is full of prohibitions and highly toxic, and his wounds are severe. How easy would it be for him to recover?"
