924: A dead dog

Boom!

Hua Teng Great True Lord’s entire body spun rapidly, then he suddenly fell from mid-air and crashed into the still-solidifying lava below, stirring up pillars of fire.

This terrifying sight filled the eyes of the spectators with horror.

No one had expected that in an instant, the tables would turn.

Hua Teng Great True Lord, who had been gaining the upper hand, suddenly became so dishevelled.

“What kind of Prodigy is this?”

“A wisp of Hua Teng Great True Lord’s Divided Soul was actually defeated!”

Thunder True Lord Yang Xin swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling as he spoke.

He never imagined that the battle would turn out this way.

As arrogant as Hua Teng Great True Lord had been before, he was now just as dishevelled.

That figure falling into the lava shattered something in Thunder True Lord Yang Xin’s heart.

“Able to defeat a wisp of Hua Teng Great True Lord’s Divided Soul, Wang Chen is probably unrivaled beneath the Great True Lords.”

“Aside from the Holy Lands and the reclusive Great True Lords, Wang Chen’s strength should be the Human Race’s strongest!”

A True Lord expert from Cloud Mountain Holy Land gasped, speaking with shock.

A powerful expert with invincible strength below the Great True Lord, and so young, his future achievements were already unimaginable.

If everyone had previously regarded Wang Chen as a Junior with extraordinary talent, now they could only look up to him.

If the Grand Elders of the Holy Lands at the Great True Lord level did not make a move, Wang Chen alone could suppress a Holy Land.

Such terrifying strength made their gazes towards Wang Chen filled with shock.

“Four Symbols Holy Land is probably going to suffer a huge setback this time. It won’t be long before they’re probably removed from the Eight Great Sacred Grounds!”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a scholar’s robe, who had arrived at some unknown time, suddenly spoke.

Hearing his words, everyone present couldn’t help but show surprised expressions.

They were all intelligent people, and naturally, they could clearly see that after today, a mortal enmity had formed between Wang Chen and Four Symbols Holy Land, and between Wang Chen and Hua Teng Great True Lord.

Whether Wang Chen wanted to avenge the ambush, or Four Symbols Holy Land wanted to regain its lost face, a major battle was bound to erupt between the two sides.

Even if Four Symbols Holy Land won, it would definitely be a Pyrrhic victory, with their strength greatly diminished and falling out of the ranks of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds.

And if Wang Chen won, that would be even more terrifying!

This meant that the Netherworld would usher in an era belonging to Wang Chen.

One person could suppress a Holy Land, re-opening the Emperor Dao in this era where the Dao was cut off!

“Jiu Hua True Lord, no matter how strong True Lord Wang Chen is, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with you.”

As everyone’s thoughts became subtle, Thunder True Lord Yang Xin suddenly looked at the middle-aged scholar with a fake smile, and said mockingly:

“True Lord Wang Chen is on good terms with Xuantian Holy Land, and he is also close to Saint Bai Yuliang. You, however, have long made it clear that you do not support the current Saint Bai Yuliang.”

This middle-aged scholar was precisely Jiu Hua True Lord, the Xuantian Holy Land expert stationed in Wanshou City.

His faction within Xuantian Holy Land was opposed to the current Bai Yuliang line, and he had long been very dissatisfied with Bai Yuliang ascending to the position of Saint.

It was precisely because of this that when Bai Yuliang sent an invitation for the reception banquet tonight, Jiu Hua True Lord simply didn’t take it seriously.

And then, this whole situation happened.

Hearing Thunder True Lord Yang Xin’s words, Jiu Hua True Lord’s face darkened, and he felt some regret in his heart.

He also didn’t expect Wang Chen’s strength to be so great, killing his way into the Four Symbols Holy Land Branch alone, successively slaying Ear True Lord and Eye True Lord of the Six Desires Demonic Sect, and now even pressing a wisp of Hua Teng Great True Lord’s Divided Soul and beating him violently.

Had he known Wang Chen was so strong, even without an invitation, he would have shamelessly gone to get acquainted.

“This brat Bai Yuliang, his luck is truly good! He latched onto such a big leg!”

Jiu Hua True Lord thought with some jealousy, pursed his lips, and ignored the teasing glances of the people around him.

Anything he said now would not be able to make up for his previous neglect.

Just then.

“Old scoundrel, weren’t you very arrogant before?”

A frivolous voice rang in everyone’s ears.

Looking up in the direction of the voice, they saw that Wang Chen had, at some unknown point, grabbed Hua Teng Great True Lord’s head with one hand, and was pressing it into the lava again and again.

“Didn’t you say you wanted me to be a dog? Take a good look, don’t you look like a dead dog now?”

Each time he pressed Hua Teng Great True Lord’s head down and then lifted it, Wang Chen would ask a frivolous question.

“When you can forgive, forgive. Wang Chen, you little brat, don’t go too far!”

Hua Teng Great True Lord barely managed to turn his head, his face full of venom and rage.

If his gaze could kill, Wang Chen would probably have been dismembered into pieces by now.

“Too far?”

“You still haven’t figured out the situation. We are enemies, and it’s an endless struggle. Why should I give you face?”

Wang Chen lifted Hua Teng Great True Lord’s head, his eyes cold.

“Although what you said makes no sense, I am a kind person and cannot bear to see others suffer, so I’ll give you a quick end!”

“Oh, and next, obediently wash your neck and wait for me at Four Symbols Holy Land. It won’t be long before I raze your Four Symbols Holy Land to the ground and crush your head just like this.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen squeezed his palm with force, making Hua Teng Great True Lord’s head creak.

The next second, Hua Teng Great True Lord’s head directly exploded, and his body also exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

“Cough cough!”

After doing this, Wang Chen coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood, then turned and walked away.

With every step he took, a deep blue cold current surged. By the time he reached the street that was once adjacent to the Four Symbols Holy Land Branch, the huge lava lake had been completely frozen.

Deep blue and fiery red intertwined, emitting a dazzling glow in the night.

Before long, this place would probably become a scenic spot famous throughout the Netherworld.

“True Lords, I’ve caused you trouble tonight.”

Looking at the cautious experts from various forces gathered in front of him, Wang Chen cupped his hands and said with little sincerity.

These guys were not good people, so he naturally didn't bother to give them a good look.

But while Wang Chen could do this, Thunder True Lord Yang Xin and Jiu Hua True Lord and others dared not be arrogant.

“True Lord Wang is too polite, you truly humble us.”

Yang Xin said with a smile as warm as spring breeze, speaking courteously:

“Mystic Tortoise True Lord of Four Symbols Holy Land colluded with the Devil Head of the Six Desires Demonic Sect. True Lord Wang, by eliminating these pests today and acting on behalf of heaven, you have saved countless lives in Wanshou City. You deserve an bow from this old man.”

After speaking, Yang Xin directly bowed, his attitude extremely respectful, even fawning.

His appearance directly made Jiu Hua True Lord and the True Lord experts from Cloud Mountain Holy Land feel very awkward, standing rooted to the spot and somewhat at a loss.

They were all people of status, and they truly couldn’t bring themselves to be as obsequious as Yang Xin, so they could only remain silent.

“Oh?”

Wang Chen’s lips curved slightly, looking at Yang Xin with interest.

This was indeed an interesting person.
