Chapter 267 Don't Trust Him

"Cough, cough!"

Helian Clan Chief coughed twice, expelling all the fire energy from within his body, and the charred fist mark on his chest began to heal slowly.

Although his frame was thin and small, his cultivation in the Physical Body Divine Treasury surpassed that of Tuoba Hong.

His entire body was nothing but condensed essence.

Furthermore, in addition to the Physical Body Divine Treasury, he had also opened the Qi Sea Divine Treasury, making him a dual-Divine Treasury Heaven-Man whose self-healing ability was several times stronger than Tuoba Hong's.

If he hadn't witnessed with his own eyes the overwhelming power Yan Chu displayed against Golden Peak and Tuoba Hong, he would have fought him regardless of his own cultivation level.

After coughing out the fire energy, Helian Clan Chief felt his chest improve significantly.

Looking at the figure above, who exuded intense pressure, he spoke slowly:

"Fellow Daoist Yan, in truth, it does not have to be this way between us!"

"The Khan of Beiman currently intends to form a marriage alliance with the Great Jin Dynasty and establish a fraternal covenant. As long as you let me leave, I will never reveal what happened today, and I will even petition the Khan, Your Majesty, to facilitate the smooth progress of the marriage alliance between our two nations."

Yan Chu stood high in the sky, his black brocade robe flapping loudly in the wind. Hearing this, he grinned.

"It seems you do not understand me at all!"

"What do you mean, Great Hero Yan?"

"If you were to ask around, you would know that I, Yan Chu, have always only snatched other people's women; I do not have the habit of giving women away to others!"

Helian Clan Chief's breath hitched.

Yang Jingfan and his party, who had just arrived, as well as Duan Yu, who had arrived earlier, all saw their pupils constrict.

It really was Blade Demon Yan Chu!

When they first heard Helian Clan Chief's voice, they had all been skeptical.

Although the name Blade Demon Yan Chu was thunderously famous throughout the world.

The number one Prodigy in a thousand years.

He who beheaded Awakening to emptiness, the Buddhist Son of Nalanda Temple, in Tongzhou Prefecture.

He who beheaded Old Man Bu Sha in Central Prefecture.

The youngest Heaven-Man recorded in history.

But Helian Clan Chief was the Southern Court Great King of Northern Mang, equal in fame to the Great King of the Northern Court, Xiao Sidao, and both were Heaven-Men who had opened two Divine Treasuries.

No matter how they thought about it, they could not believe that Yan Chu could make Helian Clan Chief so terrified that he would flee for his life in such a disheveled state.

It was not until they heard the words of that young Heaven-Man that they finally believed it.

The person before them was indeed Blade Demon Yan Chu!

Yan Chu's fondness for beautiful married women was known to everyone in the world, and there was no doubt about it.

Even a three-year-old child on the street could open their mouth and say a few words:

"One may go three days without food, but not one day without a woman..."

As a powerful noble of Northern Mang, Helian Clan Chief's knowledge of Yan Chu was limited to his name, so he naturally did not know about his Heart-Nature and preferences.

But his mind worked extremely fast, and he shouted immediately:

"I have many women, all of whom I can give to you! No, that's wrong! I can let you snatch them all!"

"Great Hero Yan, do not believe him!"

Just then, seeing Yan Chu's eyes narrow slightly, a deputy general who had followed Yang Jingfan shouted hurriedly:

"Everyone in Northern Mang knows that Helian Clan Chief prefers men! There isn't a single woman in his manor; it's all round-faced men with beards of various ages!"

"That's right!"

Another deputy general said excitedly,

"Helian Clan Chief killed our soldiers and humiliated our Great Jin Dynasty. Please, Great Hero Yan, execute him to wash away the shame of our Great Jin frontier army!"

Boom!

As soon as the two finished speaking, Yan Chu, bathed in Heavenly Fire, unleashed an overwhelming torrent of flames that descended from the sky, instantly melting the collapsed mountains below into rolling magma.

Mingyi Heavenly Fire, Burning Sky Splitting Flame!

This move, fueled by his Ten Suns Sacred Fire, was several times more ferocious than the original Mingyi Heavenly Fire.

Once the move was unleashed, the temperature within a hundred-mile radius began to skyrocket.

"Damn it!"

Helian Clan Chief was furious, hating the two who had spoken to the core.

He had almost persuaded Yan Chu, but it had been exposed by these two. Now, the killing intent radiating from Yan Chu was even more intense than before, as if he would not stop until one of them was dead.

"Sky Wolf Howls at the Moon!"

With no time to say anything else, Helian Clan Chief let out a long howl.

A massive black wolf head rose from his body, howling at the sky as it lunged forward.

Boom! Bang!

The terrifying fist force, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, descended. The hundred-foot-long wolf head whimpered, instantly ignited by the raging blue flames.

It transformed from a wolf king that roared across the mountains and rivers into a tail-between-its-legs lapdog.

Then it exploded with a bang, and the terrifying blue sacred flames descended, burning through the ground nearly a hundred meters deep.

Swoosh!

At the very last moment, Helian Clan Chief dodged in time, slicing off his sleeve that had been touched by the flames.

Watching the ground burn and continuously collapse, Helian Clan Chief's eyelids twitched wildly.

What kind of fire is this?

Hum!

Before he could think further, a golden, glowing palm strike slashed toward him—fierce, fast, and ruthless, cutting through everything.

Each strike carried terrifying, scorching Saber Qi.

Blazing Sun Saber, Blazing Sun Illuminates All!

This was one of the Five Ultimates of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Now, executed with Yan Chu's Heaven-Blade level of Dao Realm, every strike could accurately predict Helian Clan Chief's position.

In just a moment, his body was covered in wounds, with gashes from the blade everywhere, his flesh torn open.

The scorching Saber Qi and Saber Intent eroded his wounds; even with his cultivation of two Divine Treasuries, he was unable to heal himself at all for the time being.

"Enough! Yan Chu, do you think I, this King, am afraid of you?!"

Helian Clan Chief, who had been dodging repeatedly and was constantly being suppressed by Yan Chu, flew into a rage. He tore open his collar, revealing the black wolf head tattooed on his chest.

"This is what you forced me to do!!"

With a ferocious expression, Helian Clan Chief slashed his chest.

His heart began to beat rhythmically, pumping blood frantically. One could clearly see, through the surface of his skin, a thick line of blood flowing into the mouth of the wolf head tattoo.

"By the blessing bestowed by the eternal heaven, great Wolf God, awaken!!"

Following Helian Clan Chief's roar, the wolf head tattoo, having swallowed a vast amount of his blood essence, began to emit a rich red light.

Its two eyes opened, revealing an indifference and vicissitude that looked down upon all living beings.

Suddenly, Duan Yu, who was watching the battle from afar, remembered something and roared with a drastically changed expression:

"Hurry, stop him!"

"This is a blood sacrifice technique of Northern Mang! He is sacrificing his own heart to summon the descent of the Wolf God!!"

"Hahahaha! It is already too late!!"

"The Wolf God has awakened, and all of you will die!"

Helian Clan Chief laughed wantonly, glaring at Yan Chu with eyes full of hatred.

"I have used the power of my Divine Treasuries as a sacrifice; the Wolf God I summon possesses the strength of three Divine Treasuries. You cannot hope to survive!"

"Since you will not give me a way to live, then we shall all die together!"

As his voice fell, the wolf head on his chest began to squirm and shift. The flesh on his body bulged and was then torn open by something.

A black, sharp claw reached out, covered in fine threads of flesh and blood.

"Ah!!!!!"

During this process, Helian Clan Chief screamed continuously.

All of his life essence was sucked away by the awakening Wolf God, leaving him as nothing but a shriveled human skin.

Rrrrip!

The wolf claw tore through the human skin, and a massive wolf head crawled out.

Immediately after, another wolf claw crawled out, and then Helian Clan Chief died completely, his body becoming a tattered human skin that fell to the ground.

"What a shameful waste!!"

Yan Chu cursed inwardly; that was 400,000 EXP!

What an utter waste!
