The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3375 - 3370: Luring the Enemy into a Trap_1

Initially, Yang Chen saw nothing at all, but after activating his Lingxi Divine Pupil to examine the cave once more, he noticed some activity.

Taking a closer look, he discovered that a bunch of formidable Spiritual Clan experts were moving about within the cave.

In their midst stood two Royal Spirit Gods.

"Fascinating, it feels like stumbling upon treasure without any search. I was intending to hunt them down, yet here I am, running into two Royal Spirit Gods just like that!" Yang Chen remarked with a subtle grin.

A shiver ran down Xingtong's spine: "Yang Chen, have you lost your mind? Dealing with two Royal Spirit Gods isn't child's play. Plus, there are tons of spirit gods with them; we stand no chance in a fight. Let's pick a different mark."

"Chances this good don't come often; passing up these two Royal Spirit Gods means it’ll be tough to spot others later. You don't suppose Royal Spirit Gods grow on trees like common weeds, do you?" Yang Chen replied, shaking his head.

"Still, the battle strength of those Royal Spirit Gods is way over the top. How exactly do we plan to take them on?" Xingtong exclaimed in disbelief.

Yang Chen responded calmly: "Stick to the plan we set; you'll lure them out, and I'll set up the ambush ahead of time."

Xingtong shot Yang Chen a fierce glare, baffled at how he could toss out such words so lightly. Yet, catching sight of his assured look, she clenched her teeth and declared, "Fine, I'll go along with your madness this once, but you have to cover me. If I get into trouble, rescue me right away. I can't hold off two Royal Spirit Gods by myself."

"Relax." Yang Chen glanced at Xingtong's alarmed face and chuckled softly: "Here, take this light sphere; it'll grant you brief teleportation across space and time. Even with the Royal Spirit Gods' might, they'll hesitate to pursue you now."

While saying this, Yang Chen placed his hand on his belly, causing a light sphere to detach from it instantly.

"What's this...?" Xingtong inquired, confused.

"It's the Space-Time Law I've pulled out." Yang Chen answered.

Overjoyed that Yang Chen would lend her his space-time ability, Xingtong beamed: "Perfect; armed with this, I'm free of worries. Hang tight for my success report."

Yang Chen gave a nod and slipped into the darkness, readying himself for the surprise attack.

Xingtong sprang into motion without delay, creeping quietly into the cave occupied by the Spiritual Clan group.

At this point, the Spirit God Clan folks had ventured far inside the cave.

"Lord Han Tian, why spare those human cultivators earlier? They were just over twenty Human Heaven-Separated types; wiping them out should've been simple for us," one senior Spirit God Clan figure questioned one of the Royal Spirit Gods.

The one called Lord Han Tian from the Spirit God Clan responded: "Killing them would've been easy, but the map shows plenty of Origin Essences around here. Those humans are clueless so far, and they carry nothing worthwhile. No point wasting effort on them. Starting a brawl could leave us open to others exploiting the chaos, which isn't smart."

"Prioritizing the situation at hand matters most; securing the Origin Essences comes first. Who cares if those human cultivators stick around a bit longer? When we cross paths again, they might have more Origin Essences, and then we can finish them off without rush!" the other Royal Spirit God next to Han Tian murmured.

Han Tian let out a slight smile, "Brother Di Zun has the right idea."

Hearing this, the rest of the Spirit God Clan relaxed and dropped the subject.

Finally, they arrived at the cave's deepest part.

To their astonishment, a river of lava lay there.

The churning lava, with flames bursting forth, appeared downright horrifying, yet the Spirit God Clan group gazing at it displayed only shock and excitement, no trace of dread.

Reason being, three Origin Essences hovered right over the lava river.

"Hahaha, our clan elders were spot on—deep beneath this mountain range lies a lava river that readily produces Origin Essences. Never thought we'd uncover three stashed away!" Han Tian boomed with laughter.

But right in the midst of their jubilation, a shadowy figure darted out, vanishing above the lava along with all three Origin Essences.

Both Han Tian and Di Zun froze in shock and awe.

To think someone had the nerve to snatch right from the Spirit God Clan's jaws!

"Who goes there?!" Di Zun roared, fury igniting his killing aura as he scanned for the thief.

There he spotted Xingtong clutching the three Origin Essences, grinning widely in delight, and she didn't hang around, bolting from the area at once.

"After her! How dare a puny Insect Mother pilfer from the Spirit God Clan!"

"These Insect Mothers can't be trusted at all. We'd agreed on a partnership earlier, but she turns around and robs us the moment we step in."

"End her!"

The enraged Spirit God Clan crew surged forward in pursuit.

Han Tian and Di Zun especially blazed ahead with incredible swiftness, outpacing their Spirit God Clan companions by a wide margin.

Yet their velocity made Xingtong's position perilously tight.

Xingtong herself was stunned; she hadn't foreseen the Spirit God Clan's blistering pace. Her own velocity wasn't sluggish, but it paled against theirs.

At this rate, getting nabbed was inevitable.

"Blast it!" Xingtong bit down hard, regretting how she'd stirred the Royal Spirit Gods so recklessly. Good thing Yang Chen had handed over the light sphere.

With a light press, the sphere's energy flared up, enveloping her in a Law that let her blend seamlessly into the fabric of time and space.

From her prior teamwork with Yang Chen, she grasped a bit about his time-space abilities; thus, seizing this fleeting Space-Time Law boost, she leaped ahead without pause, her velocity surging dramatically.

The Spirit God Clan pursuers, inches from grabbing her, were abruptly shaken off.

"What in the world?!" Han Tian and Di Zun gaped as Xingtong slipped away.

"Hmph, that Insect Mother clearly planned this out. No way she'd challenge us without backup! She just tapped into some unique space-time method. But having riled us up, getting away won't be straightforward for her!" Han Tian declared icily.

No sooner had he spoken than his pace exploded further, resuming the hunt.

Xingtong's eyes sparkled, and she grinned, "Yang Chen's Space-Time Law truly delivers. Equipped with this Law, I can play it slow."

Going all out would leave Han Tian and Di Zun in the dust, but to draw them into the snare, she had to avoid drawing too much attention.
