Chapter 2815: Chapter 2809: Calling a Deer a Horse_1
He was already out of options, but he did not expect that in the most critical moment, such a turning point would occur.
Yang Chen looked around and quickly found his target.
The one who made the move was none other than the Spirit King, shrouded in ghostly Qi.
The Spirit King was now in a weakened state, his eyes dried up and his body seemingly exhausted.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life." Yang Chen took a deep breath.
The Spirit Demon Ghost Venerate had underestimated the number one in the Southern Realm, even if he had already reached his twilight years and was in a low state, but a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.
His cracked lips opened and he spoke: "You don’t need to thank me, the opportunity was fought for by you. Although I am now able to make a move, I can only do it once, and it’s not enough to kill this Spirit Demon Ghost Venerate. In the end, I still have to thank you for pushing the Spirit Demon Ghost Venerate into such a weak state, allowing me the chance to use the last ending blow. Otherwise, the situation would be extremely dangerous indeed."
Yang Chen laughed, "Now that the Spirit Demon Ghost Venerate is dead, Senior, I will come to rescue you."
"No need. The key to opening the Lingwang’s Sleeping Palace has already been taken away by my old foe and is now lost. It will be difficult to retrieve it, so it seems I will spend my life in this Sleeping Palace. The top priority now is to quickly report these matters to my subordinate, Yun Bietianzun. Here is my token; if you have it, Yun Bie will believe you." As the Spirit King spoke, he took out a token.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile. How would the Spirit King know that he had come with the White Jade Monarch Sword?
But before he could speak, suddenly, a terrifying Qi rushed up from below.
"Who’s there?" Yang Chen was slightly startled.
"I’ve wanted to tell you earlier, but I didn’t have time. There are several Boundless Stage Experts and one King-level Powerhouse stepping into the maze of the Ancient Castle. I can see them through the Formation Eye. I haven’t had the time to tell you, but now these people have come up." The Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix explained.
When Yang Chen heard this, he looked down with surprise.
In an instant, hundreds of people appeared here, in a dense crowd, all of them powerful at or above the Nirvana Stage.
Yang Chen looked at these people and understood what was going on.
The True King and Yun Bietianzun had all arrived, and the Golden Claw was among them too.
This also made sense, given the time they had calculated to arrive.
He had arranged for Golden Claw to inform Yun Bietianzun when the time was almost up, and with his entry into the Great Ascension Stage, the Two-Nine Thunder Tribulation had shocked the world.
All this would be sensed by the True King, who would rush over immediately. By the time they arrived now, they were already quite late in terms of time.
Seeing the True King and the others now made Yang Chen frown. Seeing the True King and Yun Bietianzun together, he knew that Yun Bietianzun had not completely suspected the True King yet.
The True King’s atrocities had not been fully exposed.
This made Yang Chen’s expression heavy. At the critical moment, the True King had appeared again just as he was about to release the Spirit King.
The True King stood there with his hands behind him, and as soon as he appeared, his eyes quickly fell on Yang Chen.
Before Yang Chen could speak, the True King took the initiative to blame him, angrily scolding, "Kid, I knew there must be some problems around the Lingwang’s Sleeping Palace, and indeed there are people causing trouble. You dare to do this to the Spirit King!? It’s fortunate that I arrived in time. Surrender and accept your death."
This made Yang Chen fume, as the True King actually blamed him first and was planning to kill him in one strike.
The True King’s move was without any courtesy; his palm strike and the pressure it radiated were simply despair-inducing.
This was not a simple fusion of power with laws but a thorough display of laws.
What is a thorough display of laws?
The Boundless Stage Experts can only touch the laws; they can control the world’s time, space, and nature.
But a King-level Powerhouse possesses his own set of laws!
His laws transcend the plane.
Now this palm strike was an attack transcending the plane; how could Yang Chen not despair in his heart? He moved a little but had no idea how to resist this blow.
"Master!" Golden Claw cried out anxiously from the side.
Yun Bietianzun didn’t expect the True King to make a move without giving him any time to react, and now that the attack had been launched, it was not easy for Yun Bietianzun to intercept the King-level Powerhouse’s move.
Yang Chen was now burning with urgency, and in his anxiousness, he suddenly thought of something.
That’s right, the previous Black Sky Formation had absorbed the essence of the Spirit King and turned it into Ghost Qi. He could use this power to protect himself.
Yang Chen’s Spacetime Flash took him to the back of the Ghost Qi.
The True King’s palm blasted the Ghost Qi from above, and in an instant, the Ghost Qi transformed from the Spirit King’s essence perfectly protected Yang Chen, blocking the True King’s attack.
The True King saw his blow unable to kill Yang Chen, took a slight pause, and wondered how Yang Chen used the Black Sky Formation to protect himself.
He was about to use a second palm, but after all, Yang Chen couldn’t avoid the fifteenth.
However, Yun Bietianzun stood up at this time and said, "True King, this kid is just at the Nirvana Stage, there is no need to be so eager to kill him. We can listen to what he has to say!"
Yun Bietianzun now had doubts about the True King, but since the True King was still the only King-level Powerhouse in the Spirit King’s Sacred District, he couldn’t deny it completely.
The True King’s eyes swiveled and, seeing Yun Bietianzun defending him, didn’t want to attack again.
"What Yun Bietianzun said is extremely true. I’ll see what this kid has to say. Kid, you just used Ghost Qi to protect yourself. You dare say you have nothing to do with those Netherworld Ghosts!" The True King rebuked.
Yang Chen didn’t rush to answer but first looked at the Spirit King Palace.
The most powerful answer at this time was to let the Spirit King speak, but when he looked closely, he found that the Spirit King’s palace was already sealed off by prohibitions.
No one could hear the Spirit King speak now.
That’s true!
There were many prohibitions near the Spirit King’s palace, and as the True King was the mastermind, he could control all the seals here. He could just open the seal to prevent the Spirit King from speaking.
This made Yang Chen’s scalp numb. The True King’s despicable means: first sealing off the Spirit King’s opportunity to speak and then killing himself.
If he died, no one would be able to testify against the True King, and the True King might actually reverse the situation at the last moment, making black turn into white, and there would be no one to deny it.
Luckily, Yang Chen had a sudden insight and knew how to think in reverse, managing to stay alive.
Now that the True King was pointing at his nose and accusing him again, Yang Chen sneered, "True King, how long do you plan to hide? Don’t waste any more time. Just lift the seal around the Spirit King’s palace, and you’ll see what the Spirit King has to say!"
