Chapter 3232: Chapter 3227: Weak Strength?_1
"So, Lord of the Underworld plans to take action personally. With your methods, Sir, these four people will definitely not even know how they died." The snake people fawn and flatter with a smile.
Huan Ye Ming Wang coldly said, "You think too much. I only said I would take action, not necessarily by myself. I sent these four snake people to test their abilities, to see what they are capable of. Now, comparing these four humans with those of Grand Abyss Palace, they are far behind and not worth my full attention."
The other snake people also looked at the picture, watching how these four humans were fighting the snake people and followed Huan Ye Ming Wang’s words.
"Indeed, the strength of these four humans is much weaker than that of the Grand Abyss Palace. Only that old man in the Taoist robe seems to have some strength. It seems that without two or three snake people, he might not be easy to capture."
Huan Ye Ming Wang sneered, "This man is Broken River from Heavenly Melody Mountain. He was a famous figure in his early years. With the combat power of your snake people, I’m afraid that even two or three Heaven-separated Realm experts couldn’t take him down."
"It’s really Broken River!" The snake people’s faces turned pale upon hearing this prestigious name.
"Why are you panicking over a mere Broken River? Are you all really a bunch of useless trash!" King of Hell spoke coldly.
Being scolded by Huan Ye Ming Wang, the group of snake people dared not say anything.
Huan Ye Ming Wang spoke expressionlessly, "Although these four have some strength, they are still weaker than Fairy Moon Fu and her group of six. I have ways to deal with those six, so these four pose no threat. Your only task is to keep an eye on the Jiuyou Emperor Grass. I’ll handle these four."
"Yes, Lord Huan Ye..."
...
Little did Broken River and his companions know that they were playing right into the calculations of their enemies. They believed that they were dealing with a normal enemy attack and had to utilize all their abilities.
Compared to them, Broken River had it easy, defeating a snake person effortlessly. He could even kill a Heaven-separated Realm snake person if it went on for a long time.
As for Dao Guangwang and Madame Autumn Plum, they were each suppressing a Heaven-separated Realm snake person, so victory was only a matter of time.
Only Yang Chen was struggling greatly against the snake person in the Heaven-separated Realm, with a red face and near-exhaustion. It seemed as if he had used his most powerful abilities, yet he was still unable to suppress his opponent.
This scene was naturally seen by the other three who were faring far better, and their attitudes toward Yang Chen had changed drastically in an instant.
At first, when they saw Yang Chen casually refining the Poison Concealing Pill, their opinions of him greatly improved, thinking that he truly lived up to the rumors.
But now, as they watched Yang Chen struggle to defeat even one snake person, they all shook their heads in disbelief.
From the beginning, they felt that Yang Chen’s reputation did not live up to reality. After all, to single-handedly slay twenty-eight Heavenly Leaving Realm experts did seem too miraculous.
But without enough evidence, they couldn’t make a clear judgment.
Now, looking at Yang Chen’s true strength, it seemed that the rumors were too exaggerated. His actual abilities were not that impressive. At least now, as he struggled against a Heaven-separated Realm snake person, he was clearly several levels below the average experts of Heavenly Melody Mountain.
If compared to Broken River, who was an outstanding Heaven-separated Realm expert, the gap was even greater.
Broken River frowned upon seeing Yang Chen’s poor performance, and was annoyed when he thought back to how Yang Chen had boasted that he could single-handedly take on two to three Heaven-separated Realm experts.
Yang Chen had insisted on taking this task without considering the difficulty, and Broken River couldn’t help but feel displeased. But if Yang Chen encountered danger, he would still help.
Although Broken River was focused on fighting a snake person, he could still lend a hand. With a flick of his wrist, he struck at the snake person fighting against Yang Chen.
Initially, the snake person fighting Yang Chen was enjoying his triumph, but after being sneak attacked by Broken River’s palm, with the lingering power of the Laws, he became flustered and disorganized.
The other three snake people saw the situation turning unfavorable and shouted, "These four people are more difficult than we thought. Let’s retreat first!"
As they spoke, the four snake people exchanged glances and quickly burrowed underground, disappearing into the ground.
Dao Guangwang, seeing the situation, let out a cold shout and slapped the ground with his palm.
As the Laws lingered, the ground trembled, and even caused a horrifying earthquake.
"What happened?" Broken River asked, watching Dao Guangwang’s pursuit.
Dao Guangwang shook his head slightly, "We let the four snake people escape."
Hearing this, the three of them couldn’t help but sigh and feel disheartened.
At this time, Yang Chen stepped forward and said with a bow, "Thank you, Brother Gu, for your help just now."
Broken River didn’t feel happy seeing Yang Chen coming to express his gratitude, but rather frowned.
The difference in Yang Chen’s strength compared to what they had previously known was huge, making it hard for them to feel pleased. It was already good enough that he didn’t hold them back with his performance just now.
Although he didn’t show the indifference of Dao Guangwang and Madame Autumn Plum, Broken River couldn’t help but shake his head. After all, the Poison Concealing Pill was made by Yang Chen, so he said, "It’s nothing. It was just a small effort. However, Yang Chen, you must focus on improving yourself. The journey ahead is extremely dangerous, and we may not be able to help you again if you encounter such powerful enemies."
Dao Guangwang couldn’t help but add, "Brother Yang Chen, when you said you could rival two or three Heaven-separated Realm experts, you meant relying on others’ help, right?"
"Dao Guang!" Broken River chided him, preventing him from speaking any more offensive words.
Yang Chen secretly smiled, knowing that his earlier performance had led the three of them to change their attitudes toward him.
But he didn’t care. Their attitude towards him was not important. The important thing was how the person secretly observing him felt about him.
Yang Chen’s lips curled up slightly, considering that deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea would be what he was doing now.
"Thank you for your advice. I’ll be more careful next time!" Yang Chen said.
Dao Guangwang, persuaded by Broken River, stopped making sarcastic comments but still didn’t think much of it. After all, strength was not something that could be improved simply by being careful.
If Yang Chen’s strength was not up to par, he shouldn’t have insisted on undertaking this task at that time. Now, they had to bring a burden along on their journey, and no one could be happy about it.
