Chapter 638 - 634: I Don’t Mind One More

Chapter 638: Chapter 634: I Don’t Mind One More

’I’ve been exposed!’

Hong Yu’s expression turned cold, but he didn’t hide any longer. He slowly stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and walked out from behind the rock.

He slowly turned around amidst the beast herd to face the group of experts at the valley entrance.

This time, more than thirty experts had arrived.

Their attire was similar to the Divine Generals of the Eastern Divine City from that day, except the characters for "North" and "South" were on their chests. The vitality and blood of each person surged like a great dragon; they were all top-tier masters.

The cold, sinister young man standing at the very front, who resembled a venomous snake, made even Hong Yu’s heart palpitate.

’This man is probably even stronger than the Xishang King. He must be a Divine King, right?’ Hong Yu squinted, sizing up the Snake King.

The Snake King was also sizing up Hong Yu.

Suddenly, the Snake King’s lips parted, revealing a set of deathly white teeth as he let out a gloomy sneer. "Tsk, tsk. To wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it by chance without any effort. The Four Great Divine Cities and the Eight Great Battle Clans have had countless experts searching for you in the outer and Central Areas for so long, yet none of them found you. Instead, we just happened to run into you!"

"Hm?"

Young Master Ling was taken aback.

He then looked at Hong Yu from a distance and asked, "Snake King, are you saying this guy is Hong Yu?"

"That’s right!"

The Snake King nodded.

Young Master Ling was completely bewildered. With a suspicious look, he said, "Based on the aura I’m sensing from him, he’s at the Peak of Primordial Embryo Realm at most, right? He managed to kill the Ten Great Divine Generals of the Eastern Divine City and even Hai Wen? A piece of trash like him? I could kill him with a single slap! How could someone like him possibly obtain the Venerable Golden Bone?"

"Jye jye, you can’t underestimate him! For him to be able to kill Hai Wen, he’s definitely not simple!"

Smiling sinisterly, the Snake King called out to Hong Yu from across the distance, "You must be Hong Yu, correct?"

"I am. And who might you be?"

Hong Yu said flatly.

The Snake King’s voice rasped, as if two iron balls were grinding together in his throat. "I am the Third Divine King of the North and South Divine City, the Snake King. I heard of your great name back when I was in the core area! Jye jye, I hear you possess a Venerable Golden Bone. My City Lord is quite envious, so he specially sent me to find you and borrow it for a look!"

"A look?"

Hong Yu sneered inwardly.

’The Venerable Golden Bone has already fused with me. Other than killing me and cutting it out, there’s no other way to take it.’

’If they want to ’look’ at it, doesn’t that just mean they want to kill me?’

Hong Yu said with a cold smile, "Apologies, but the Venerable Golden Bone has already become one with me. There’s no way for your City Lord to ’look’ at it!"

The Snake King waved his hand dismissively, his face a mask of arrogance. "It doesn’t matter if it’s fused. My City Lord only wants the Venerable Golden Bone; he never said he wanted you alive. As long as we kill you, we can naturally take the Venerable Golden Bone back!"

"Kill me? Are you sure you have the strength for that?"

Hong Yu taunted.

’So what if he’s stronger than the Xishang King?’

’Anyone who tries to kill me for my treasures will just be killed first!’

Before the Snake King could speak, Young Master Ling cut in impatiently, "Why the hell are you spouting so much nonsense? My cousin wants your Venerable Golden Bone, so you should just obediently hand it over. All this whining is annoying as hell."

"And who do you think you are?" Hong Yu asked, his eyes narrowed.

He remembered that this was the very person who had just boasted about snatching Zhu Ling’Er and giving Little Chenxi to the Snake King to "play" with.

Beitang Ling puffed out his chest, looking immensely proud. "I am Beitang Ling, the cousin of the Second City Lord of the North and South Divine City! You little punk named Hong Yu, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the Venerable Golden Bone right now. Otherwise, once the fighting starts, you won’t even have the luxury of a comfortable death!"

"Heh, plenty of people have wanted to kill me. It’s just that all the ones I met before are in Hell now, while I’m still alive and well!"

Hong Yu said calmly.

A playful arc touched the corners of his lips.

If Feng Xue Xin had been present, he would have slapped a hand to his forehead. At this moment, Hong Yu had already decided to kill. And the stronger his killing intent, the wider his smile grew.

Little Chenxi was also one of Hong Yu’s "Reversed Scales"—a line that could not be crossed.

Back in the Xiahuang Ancient Kingdom, when Hong Yu’s strength hadn’t even reached the Unparalleled Genius Level, he had dared to challenge Venerable Xiahuang for Little Chenxi’s sake.

Let alone now.

He had been speaking calmly just a moment ago, but a red light suddenly shot out from Hong Yu’s eyes.

The light was incredibly fast, reaching Beitang Ling in an instant.

"Young Master Ling, look out!"

The Snake King’s expression changed. He raised a hand and swung out a Spiritual Palm Light.

The Palm Light surged like a great snake, coiling furiously as it shot forward.

But the Extinction Divine Light ignored the attack. With a SWISH, it pierced into Beitang Ling’s mind.

"AH!"

Beitang Ling screamed.

Although his strength was at the Early-stage Primordial Spirit Realm, it was heavily inflated. It was largely the result of piling on Pills, making his Spiritual Power even weaker than some Late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm experts.

The Extinction Divine Light shot into his body, instantly ravaging his Soul.

HUM!

Just as the Extinction Divine Light was about to shatter his Soul, a cyan light suddenly enveloped it. It came from a green bead—a Soul Defense Spirit Pearl gifted to him by his cousin.

Under the impact of the Extinction Divine Light, the Spirit Pearl shattered, and the Extinction Divine Light was neutralized and vanished.

Even so, Beitang Ling’s hair was a mess, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was pale. He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with lingering fear.

He flew into a rage out of shame and fury. "Damn bastard! All of you, get him! Kill this bastard! When we get back, I will definitely ask my cousin to reward you all handsomely!"

"Don’t worry, Young Master Ling, we’ll definitely kill him!"

"Watch me break this kid’s legs and drag him before you for you to deal with as you please!"

Although the experts from the North and South Divine City looked down on a second-generation brat like Beitang Ling, their eyes lit up with greed the moment they heard about a reward from the City Lord. One by one, they volunteered to fight.

The Snake King, however, simply crossed his arms and watched coldly from the sidelines, in no hurry to make a move.

This wasn’t because the Snake King thought these Divine Generals could easily take care of Hong Yu. Rather, it was his nature to lurk in the shadows and wait for an opportunity.

Like a venomous snake, he would aim for his prey’s most vulnerable moment and strike for a one-hit kill!

"Kill!"

A Divine General charged in front of Hong Yu.

The man’s vitality and blood surged like a stampeding bull, roiling like boiling water. He gripped a Primordial Weapon War Axe with both hands and brought it crashing down like one of the Deities from the Heaven and Earth Creation.

If a being like this were to go to the outside world, he would definitely possess the combat power of the Unparalleled Genius Level!

Facing such an attack, a disdainful sneer appeared on Hong Yu’s lips. "Die!"

The Godslaying Spear swept out.

PFFT!

The man’s airborne body suddenly froze, and a dazed look appeared in his eyes.

Of course, he couldn’t have died so easily, but the impact from the Extinction Divine Light had plunged him into a state of Chaos, leaving him dazed and unresponsive for a moment.

Hong Yu seized the opportunity, lunged forward, and tore down with his claws.

RIP!

His body was torn apart from his left cheek to his right waist, collapsing to the ground in pieces as blood splattered everywhere.

HISS!

The other menacing experts stopped in their tracks, clearly not expecting Hong Yu to be so ferocious.

"This one’s tough! Team up!"

"Damn it, he’s even stronger than the reports said!"

"Watch out for his Pupil Technique! Liu the Seventh, you’re a Spirit Cultivator! Remember to use your Spiritual Power to block his Pupil Technique later!"

"Don’t worry!"

Liu the Seventh instantly retreated, holding his position at the side, ready to interfere with Hong Yu’s Pupil Technique with his Spiritual Power at any moment.

As for the other experts, they formed a Grand Array and charged toward Hong Yu.

"Hmph, an Array again. This might have been a bit tricky in the past, but now..."

Hong Yu smiled cruelly.

After cultivating the Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes, his Peeping Essence ability had been upgraded again. With a single glance, he saw right through the weakness of this battle formation.

Stomping on the ground, his figure suddenly dove forward.

He rushed before the formation in an instant. At the same time, the experts within the formation abruptly attacked, several sharp blade auras charged forward with the momentum of Sweeping Thousand Soldiers.

They formed a curtain of Sword Gang light.

Hong Yu ducked to avoid the attack, then slid forward with the momentum, striking out with a claw from his Wisdom King Movement.

"Hmph, we were ready for you!"

An expert sneered coldly.

Their Mystical Power was focused on defense. A Divine Shield enveloped them, and the CLANG CLANG of metal colliding echoed through the valley, sending sparks flying in a terrifying display.

「Meanwhile...」

Beitang Ling was screaming hysterically, "Kill him for me! You bunch of trash, kill him! There’s a huge reward for killing him!"

"Blood Slaughter Saber!"

"Godslaying Arrow!"

"Celestial Dragon Judgment!"

"..."

The experts attacked simultaneously. Dozens of attacks rained down like a goddess scattering flowers, but these were not beautiful blossoms—they were powerful, life-threatening attacks.

"Hmph!"

Hong Yu snorted coldly.

The Cyan Celestial Transformation Dragon Technique covered his entire body, and his Fire Cloud Divine Armor glowed with a red light. Just as the attacks were about to hit him, they were forcefully blocked. This was the energy Shelter of the Fire Cloud Divine Armor; a Seventh-Grade Divine Armor could not be broken by ordinary experts.

On the contrary, Hong Yu saw his moment to counterattack.

"Great Destruction Fist!"

"Piercing Void—Unstoppable Edge!"

A fist with one hand, a Spear Technique with the other.

The Fist Gang smashed down like a Heavy Hammer from a Giant Spirit God, shattering the chests of two experts and sending them flying backward, spitting blood.

At the same time, the Godslaying Spear in his right hand whistled as it pierced through the chests of three experts, skewering them together like a kebab. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he slapped the tail of the spear. With a PFFT, the Long Spear burst out from their backs.

Hong Yu’s figure flashed, appearing behind them. He grabbed the Godslaying Spear and spun with the momentum, the spear sweeping out in a flash of golden light.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Five more experts were sent flying by his sweep, their bones broken and bodies severely injured.

Beitang Ling was hysterical, his eyes filled with venomous hatred. "Snake King, why haven’t you killed this kid yet?! If you kill him, I’ll definitely get someone from the West Gate Divine City to bring that little wench over for you. You can have your fun with her then. I heard that little girl is from a special race; she must be great to play with!"

There was no need to guess; he was definitely talking about Little Chenxi.

Hearing this, Hong Yu’s eyes turned red as he glared viciously at him.

Beitang Ling was so frightened his legs went weak, but then he remembered the Snake King was here and sneered, "You care a lot about that little wench, huh? Jye jye, I heard she’s being hunted down and will be captured soon. When that happens, I’m going to have some fun with her too!"

"You’re courting death!"

Hong Yu’s voice was like ice as he charged over to kill.

"Hmph, the only one who’s going to die is you!"

A dangerous glint flashed in the Snake King’s eyes. He shot out like a venomous snake, about to clash with Hong Yu.

But just as the two were about to engage, Hong Yu’s figure suddenly vanished.

"Hm?"

The Snake King froze for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. "Not good!"

He spun around abruptly, but it was too late.

Hong Yu had already used Electric Flash to appear in front of Beitang Ling, the cold Spear Aura aimed at his neck.

GULP!

Beitang Ling swallowed hard but didn’t forget to threaten him. "You dare to fucking hurt me? My cousin is the Lord of a Divine City! If you dare to kill me, no one in heaven or on earth can save you!"

"Hmph, I’ve killed plenty of people lately. I don’t mind adding one more to the list!"

A cold glint flashed like Thunder in Hong Yu’s eyes. The Godslaying Spear blazed with golden light and, with a BOOM, pierced through Beitang Ling’s neck. With a twist of his wrist, the Godslaying Spear ripped Beitang Ling’s head off. He kicked the head of the wide-eyed Beitang Ling away, then turned his gaze back to the Snake King...

"Anyone who wants to kill me, I, Hong, should be prepared to lose their own head!"
