199: Chapter 199 The Two Demons of the East Sea are annihilated
"Fellow Daoist Ye, what a cunning method." Meng An straightened his disheveled robes and looked at Ancestor Ye Rongming with gloomy eyes, secretly thinking: Is it that secret technique?
The Wei Family and the Wang Family of Cangjiang Prefecture had always speculated that Ancestor Ye Rongming had mastered a very Advanced secret technique capable of tracking the Qi of Martial Artists or Yao Beasts.
"Three against three, you are still no match for us." Xue Hun's Four-Star Martial King aura pressed down on the three, Zhao Zuoxiang and the others. He instructed the two, "Second Brother, you hold off Zhao Fenghua. Meng An, don't forget your promise; Ancestor Ye Rongming is left to you. Once I kill Zhao Zuoxiang, we will retreat."
"Kill me? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with such big talk?" Zhao Zuoxiang laughed mockingly, simultaneously releasing his own Martial King pressure to stand toe-to-toe with Xue Hun.
"You actually achieved a Breakthrough?" Xue Hun said in surprise. "Hmph, so what if you did? You are still going to die here today."
"Soul-Devouring Underworld King Array, activate!"
Tongquan Port was instantly enveloped by a massive black cloud. Hundreds upon hundreds of demons and ghosts wailed, devouring the souls of the living beings within. The more souls they devoured, the denser the black Qi of the Formation became.
"You lowly humans, you've eaten this King's food for ten years; it's time to repay this King." Xue Hun laughed sinisterly, continuously waving the Formation Flag in his hand, summoning even more ghosts.
"Be careful, it's the Soul-Devouring Underworld King Array. What a vicious Formation; the souls of these people are all being sucked away by the Formation." Zhao Fenghua warned in a low voice, "We cannot let him continue absorbing the souls of living beings, otherwise the Underworld King he summons will have strength far exceeding ours."
"Old man, your opponent is me." Xue Sha stepped forward, transforming into a monster that was neither human nor ghost, surrounded by four or five ghostly entities, blocking Zhao Fenghua's path.
"Frost and Snow Filling the Sky."
Zhao Zuoxiang knew his uncle was right; he could not just watch Xue Hun absorb the souls of these living beings and accumulate power. The moment he struck, he unleashed a Fifth-Stage Divine Ability. Crystal-clear ice and snow rained down from the sky, transforming into sharp swords that slaughtered the endless demons and ghosts.
"Meng An, retreat now, and I will pretend you were never here. Otherwise, don't blame this old man for taking your dog life." Ancestor Ye Rongming said domineeringly, no longer hiding his Four-Star Martial King aura, which greatly shocked Meng An.
"You also achieved a Breakthrough?"
Meng An's pupils constricted, and he already had thoughts of retreating. As a Loose Cultivator, he had experienced more hardships and tribulations than any of the other Martial Kings present to reach the Two-Star Martial King level; he certainly didn't want to throw his life away here.
He had originally thought that after the recent Yao Beast turmoil, Ancestor Ye Rongming's injuries had not yet healed, and he could take advantage of the situation.
Unexpectedly, not only had Ancestor Ye Rongming's injuries healed, but his strength had further Advanced, breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Martial King level. What kind of situation was this!
"If you are confused and stubborn, then die." Ancestor Ye Rongming raised his hand and directly unleashed World in the Palm, trapping Meng An within a confined area, then immediately utilized the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art for close-quarters combat, striking Meng An until he vomited blood repeatedly with just three punches.
"I cannot stay here any longer. If I stay any longer, I will surely fall here today." Meng An observed the other two battlefields; Xue Sha was at the end of his rope, and Xue Hun was not doing much better, as he still hadn't managed to summon the Underworld King.
Meng An had been able to survive until now and escape the pursuit of many enemies by relying on a Fifth-Stage escape technique he had obtained by chance—the Wind Shadow Escape. By sacrificing ten years of his lifespan, he could escape a hundred miles. This technique had never failed him and had helped him survive several life-or-death crises.
"Forget it, preserving my own life is what matters." Meng An steeled his heart, sacrificed ten years of his lifespan, and his figure immediately vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Meng An, how dare you!" Xue Hun roared in anger. Originally, the three of them were already at a disadvantage; with Meng An retreating on his own, the two of them were in even greater danger.
Meng An could barely protect himself, let alone care about the two of them. He didn't even want the remaining payment; he simply turned around and left, distancing himself from Tongquan Port.
"World in the Palm."
Ancestor Ye Rongming had never intended to fight Meng An to the death; none of the Loose Cultivators who could become Martial Kings were easy to deal with. Since Meng An took the initiative to retreat, he quietly opened a gap to facilitate Meng An's escape.
After Meng An escaped, Ancestor Ye Rongming backhanded and trapped Xue Sha. Zhao Fenghua seized the opportunity and struck Xue Sha's temple with a Demon-Subduing Pestle, breaking Xue Sha's Ghost Domain.
Once Xue Sha's Ghost Domain was broken, he fell into a brief stupor. Zhao Fenghua and Ancestor Ye Rongming, with great tacit understanding, one attacking the upper path and one attacking the lower path, directly blasted Xue Sha's Physical Body to pieces.
Xue Sha had fallen!
The Twin Demons of the East Sea would probably only be called the Single Demon of the East Sea from now on. No, after today, the Twin Demons of the East Sea would likely disappear from the world entirely.
"Brother Ye, please trouble yourself to go and help Zuoxiang slay Xue Hun. The Zhao Family will surely reward you heavily in the future!" Zhao Fenghua said sincerely.
"Uncle Zhao, you are too polite. I will go and assist Brother Zhao right now." Ancestor Ye Rongming put away the few Storage Pouches in the sky and immediately joined the battle between Zhao Zuoxiang and Xue Hun.
Zhao Fenghua, on the other hand, remained alone in Tongquan Port, searching everywhere for the location of the Formation Eye, wanting to break the Soul-Devouring Underworld King Array set up by Xue Hun in one fell swoop.
"Second Brother!" Xue Hun let out a shrill cry of pain and said furiously, "I want you all to die!"
"Boastful words. Today is your death day. Condense!"
Zhao Zuoxiang condensed the flying snow filling the sky into a single snow sword, turning the ten thousand into one. The power was astonishing, easily piercing through Xue Hun's defense and stabbing into his chest.
"Second Brother, don't go too far. Big Brother will come find you after I kill these three." Xue Hun and Xue Sha were blood brothers born of the same mother. The two brothers had been very close since childhood, eating and living together, and were almost inseparable.
"Not good, hurry and stop him! He is sacrificing himself to the Underworld King." Ancestor Ye Rongming, who had just arrived, was greatly alarmed. With two Martial Kings sacrificing themselves simultaneously, how powerful would the summoned Underworld King be?
"It's too late."
Following Xue Hun's death, a phantom wearing a crown appeared in the black mist, emitting a harsh, ear-piercing laugh. Then, several sounds of bones breaking and chewing came through: "What delicious food."
"My loyal subjects, rest assured and depart. This King will avenge you."
A black claw reached out from the sky, grabbing toward Zhao Zuoxiang, who was hovering in mid-air. Zhao Zuoxiang felt a chill down his spine and immediately retreated downward, attempting to rendezvous with Ancestor Ye Rongming to jointly resist this monster.
But the claw seemed to ignore all space, instantly grabbing Zhao Zuoxiang and directly slapping him down to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
After the black claw slapped Zhao Zuoxiang down, it swept backward, directly swatting Ancestor Ye Rongming away, revealing Ye Yisong who had been hiding behind Ancestor Ye Rongming all along.
"Big Brother, stop messing around."
Ye Yisong was grabbed by the large black hand and was about to be stuffed into its mouth. No matter how he struggled, it was to no avail.
"Yisong!"
Ancestor Ye Rongming shouted in anxious anger.
"Warning! Warning! Host is in a lethal crisis. 798 will automatically take over the Host's body to take the Host away from this place. Please, Host, do not resist."
