The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 2898: Chapter 2893: The Initial Seal_1

Even if Mu Taiqing could remain calm initially, now that he saw Yang Chen refine the Golden Pattern Bird, he probably couldn’t stay calm anymore.

When he arrives, he will definitely be enraged.

That’s the effect he wanted.

If Mu Taiqing can’t keep calm and is angered, he definitely won’t consider that Yang Chen has set up an ambush nearby. When the time comes, as long as Mu Taiqing rushes up, Yang Chen will use the hidden traps first to give him a taste of his own medicine, and then launch a sudden attack. Then fighting against Mu Taiqing will become much more difficult for him.

Now, Yang Chen is setting up all the traps nearby at his fastest speed.

He doesn’t randomly set up traps; every trap is carefully crafted and positioned.

Once they were set up, Yang Chen handed them over to Bao Lu, who helped refine and put the final touches on the traps to successfully complete the ambush plan.

Bao Lu knew the importance of the matter and didn’t waste time on idle chatter. She immediately helped Yang Chen, refining and improving the traps Yang Chen had set up.

Yang Chen secretly anticipated in his heart.

But anticipation aside, he mainly pondered.

Pondered what?

He pondered if these traps would not be effective enough, what should he do.

Even with his self-confidence, he knew very well how terrifying Mu Taiqing was. Whether these traps, even if they were made by Bao Lu, could succeed was still an unknown. If they didn’t succeed, he would be the one in a passive position.

As Yang Chen sank deep into thought, suddenly, the artifact spirit within the Mountain and River Destruction Map spoke.

"Yang Chen!"

Yang Chen, surprised, asked, "What’s wrong?"

The artifact spirit of the Mountain and River Destruction Map replied, "How much confidence do you have that you can capture Mu Taiqing?"

"Not much confidence." Yang Chen shook his head. "Given my current strength, fighting against Mu Taiqing, even with preparation, the odds of victory are only 20% to 80%. I can’t do more. Besides, these traps might not necessarily be effective against him."

"You didn’t underestimate Mu Taiqing. These traps of yours won’t fool him. With his divine powers, he can see through them at a glance." The artifact spirit of the Mountain and River Destruction Map said.

"That powerful?" Yang Chen was stunned. "Then wouldn’t I have no chance of winning even 20% against him?"

"Don’t be too discouraged. Although your traps won’t deceive Mu Taiqing, he is naturally arrogant and looks down on everyone. He won’t take your traps too seriously. After all, with your cultivation experience, what kind of traps could you set up?" The artifact spirit explained.

"If that’s the case, he’s in for a big surprise." Yang Chen laughed heartily.

"That’s the case, but don’t get too excited. Relying on the traps alone to capture Mu Taiqing is almost impossible. You must be fully prepared to succeed." The artifact spirit said.

Yang Chen naturally understood the situation: "I know, I won’t rely solely on traps. But from your words, it seems you have some sort of plan?"

"I don’t have a plan, but I can help you. This is also a matter of settling scores with Mu Taiqing." The artifact spirit replied awkwardly.

"Can you explain?" Yang Chen’s interest was piqued when he heard that the artifact spirit of the Mountain and River Destruction Map had a solution.

"It’s simple. Just place me inside a very hidden trap. I have the ability to seal Mu Taiqing into my body in an instant!" The artifact spirit said.

"What? You can do that?" Yang Chen was astonished.

He quickly remembered that the Mountain and River Destruction Map’s initial ability seemed to be sealing.

But as he grew stronger, the Map’s abilities became less useful to him.

"Don’t forget, my specialty is sealing. Even back then, I could seal someone as powerful as Peng Wanli. I can still do it to Mu Taiqing, though it’s quite difficult. The reason Mu Taiqing was able to seal Peng Wanli back then was because he caught Peng Wanli’s weakness, allowing me to join him in sealing Peng Wanli."

The artifact spirit of the Mountain and River Destruction Map calmly continued, "Otherwise, with Mu Taiqing’s strength, defeating Peng Wanli would have been a delusion."

Yang Chen now had a direction. Once he thought about it, it made sense. Why had he never thought of it before?

The icy artifact spirit said, "Moreover, compared to sealing Peng Wanli, I am much more familiar with Mu Taiqing. I still keep some of his True Qi and Dao Intent inscriptions in me. As long as you can break through his defenses, I can seal him in an instant. The only condition is that you can find his vulnerability."

Yang Chen nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will do my best."

With the artifact spirit silent again, Yang Chen knew what to do. He no longer wasted any time and sent the Mountain and River Destruction Map into a seemingly hidden trap, then sat cross-legged, waiting.

Bao Lu’s refinements were lightning fast, completing them cleanly in less than three hours for Yang Chen.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but admire Bao Lu’s trap-setting skills.

After that, he sat cross-legged in front of the golden lake, waiting for Mu Taiqing’s arrival.

Time passed...

The first day quietly passed.

Then, the second day, the third day...

Yang Chen knew that Mu Taiqing would come sooner or later. He moved extremely fast and arrived at this spot like a flash of lightning on the third day.

When Mu Taiqing arrived at the scene, he was already completely enraged. He stared fiercely at Yang Chen and laughed angrily, his smile cruel.

"Yang Chen, I finally caught up with you. It seems that you’ve made quite a lot of preparations here. You don’t seem to have any intention to run away. Let me take a closer look..."

As Mu Taiqing spoke, his eyes were already scanning the surroundings.

Yang Chen was secretly surprised. The Mountain and River Destruction Map’s artifact spirit knew Mu Taiqing better after all. From the start, it asserted that Yang Chen’s traps definitely wouldn’t be able to deceive Mu Taiqing’s eyes. Though Mu Taiqing was angered, he still detected the location of the traps.

"You’ve indeed set up an ambush here. Hahaha, I thought so. There’s no way you could just obediently wait here for me to kill you." Mu Taiqing’s cold voice rang out.

"That’s right. Of course, I won’t just sit here and wait for you to come kill me. So, I set up a little ambush here. What, Mu Taiqing, don’t you have the guts to come over? Or are you saying that even after I snatched your Golden Pattern Bird, you still can’t do anything but sit there and do nothing?" Yang Chen laughed.

Mu Taiqing knew very well that Yang Chen was intentionally trying to infuriate him, but even so, he was still angered.
