Chapter 639 - 635: The Trap Is for You

Chapter 639: Chapter 635: The Trap Is for You

"He actually killed Young Master Ling?"

"We’re finished. That bastard killed Young Master Ling. The City Lord will definitely have us killed when we get back."

Gazing at Beitang Ling’s body rolling on the ground, his eyes wide open in death, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

The North and South Divine City had two City Lords. The Great City Lord was often in seclusion, so the Second City Lord managed most of the city’s affairs.

As a result, the entire North and South Divine City had practically become the Second City Lord’s personal fiefdom, where his word was law.

This Second City Lord was also violent and cruel, leading the experts of the North and South Divine City to secretly call him the Tyrant. Once, a Divine General had too much to drink at a banquet and accidentally splashed a drop of wine on him. The Second City Lord killed the general on the spot.

Yet, this Second City Lord doted on his cousin, Beitang Ling.

He had even helped him reach the Primordial Spirit Realm at any cost.

Now, Beitang Ling was dead.

They were certain to face severe punishment upon their return. In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell on Hong Yu, filled with venomous hatred.

They looked at him as if he were their mortal enemy.

The Snake King’s already sinister face grew terrifyingly dark. His chilling gaze locked onto Hong Yu. "You’re a dead man. No one can save you today!"

"If you want a fight, then let’s fight. Why all the useless talk? This is a perfect chance for me to see just how strong a so-called Divine King from a Divine City really is!"

Hong Yu sneered.

As he spoke, he flicked his arm. The Godslaying Spear swept out with a SWISH, its sharp Spear Aura tearing a gash in the earth.

"Snake King Whip!"

the Snake King growled.

A long black whip appeared in his hand. The handle of the whip was a ferocious snake head, its mouth open, spitting out a forked tongue that formed the grip held by the Snake King.

The snake’s body formed the length of the whip.

Its black scales were so lifelike that it didn’t seem like a Primordial Weapon, but a real, venomous serpent.

The Snake King laughed coldly. "This King’s Snake King Whip was refined from a newborn Exotic Wild Beast—a Black God Python. The Black God Python has incredibly strong defenses and venom. Even a single drop is incurable for a Primordial Spirit Realm expert. Today, this King will use it to take your life and avenge Young Master Ling!"

"Another piece of trash who relies on poison."

Hong Yu spat disdainfully.

Then he charged forward.

The Snake King’s strength made Hong Yu wary. When fighting an expert of this caliber, not a single opportunity could be missed.

The first to strike gains the advantage!

He leaped with his spear, his body spinning with the Godslaying Spear. BOOM! A golden storm surged across the ground.

Dust flew up everywhere it passed.

Sand and stones were sent flying.

The Snake King sneered. "A petty trick!"

SWISH!

He cracked his Snake King Whip in the air, and with a SWISH SWISH SWISH, countless black Poison Needles rained down, shooting toward Hong Yu.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The collision between the Poison Needles and the golden storm created a shower of blinding sparks.

The Poison Needles were all knocked away.

For a moment...

The scattered Poison Needles filled the entire valley. The Desolate Beasts that had been immersed in the golden stream of energy screamed in agony.

The Snake King Whip was truly worthy of being refined from a Black God Python. The venom on the needles was incredibly potent. Some Desolate Beasts even died with expressions of bliss, as if still enjoying the absorption of the formed Spiritual Qi. It was an extremely bizarre sight, as if they were smiling in the afterlife.

"Snake King Bullet!"

The Snake King suddenly spat out a black light.

The black light was a fist-sized orb. It shot in front of the golden storm, then pulsed and exploded with a BOOM!

The explosion was so terrifying that it completely halted Hong Yu’s forward momentum.

SWISH!

Hong Yu retreated several steps in a row.

He stared at the Snake King with a dark gaze. The man’s methods were too strange and difficult to deal with.

"Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant!"

Hong Yu roared.

Black energy swirled around him, and the domineering Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant appeared in all its glory. Its body, dozens of meters tall, was like a small hill, and its pair of bell-like eyes swept over the Snake King.

Its trunk twitched!

THUD!

The trunk of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant collided with the Snake King Whip.

Black light surged.

At the point of impact between the Snake King Whip and the elephant’s trunk, the very air began to spin with a HUHU sound, compressing violently.

Then...

RUMBLE!

The storm of energy burst, kicking up a tornado.

Truly terrifying!

"Well now, no wonder you were able to kill the Ten Great Divine Generals of Eastern Divine City. It seems if I don’t pull out some of my trump cards today, it really won’t be easy to take you down!" The Snake King’s tongue flicked out and licked his own face, revealing a ferocious expression.

Suddenly, a layer of black energy surged wildly behind him.

The black energy formed a black mist, standing behind him like a storm cloud covering the sky.

SWISH! SWISH!

Two red lights suddenly shot out from within the black mist.

They were a pair of eyes, crimson like blood. The ground then began to tremble, and a massive black snake, a full hundred meters long, appeared behind the Snake King.

This was his Mystical Dharma Aspect!

"ROAR!"

The black snake opened its cavernous, bloody mouth and roared.

The roar shook the heavens, carrying a foul, gale-force wind.

When this wind blew across one’s face, it felt like ice blades carving into the skin—incredibly terrifying and painful.

"Mystical Dharma Aspect, Black Divine King Snake!"

the Snake King declared proudly.

It was precisely with this Black Divine King Snake Dharma Aspect that he had ascended to the rank of Divine King in the North and South Divine City.

"Kill him!"

The Snake King dove forward, and his Black Divine King Snake Dharma Aspect followed close behind.

"Great Destruction Fist!"

Nine Energy Auras floated on his arm, layering and converging onto his fist. He threw a punch, looking like an unrivaled god of fists!

A fist as large as a house smashed toward the Black Divine King Snake.

At the same time...

One hundred and eight Feathered Flying Knives appeared beside Hong Yu. The knives changed positions, formed a formation, and coalesced into an Ice Blue Phoenix that soared with a beat of its wings, charging toward the Snake King.

"ROAR!"

The Black Divine King Snake spun around.

Swinging its massive black tail like a Divine Dragon, it lashed out with a SWISH, striking the Fist Gang.

The Fist Gang exploded, but the Black Divine King Snake merely shuddered slightly before lunging forward again.

The Snake King swung his Snake King Whip again and again. The black afterimages of the whip shrieked through the air, flitting about madly like the coming of a Dark Heaven Curtain.

DONG! DONG! DONG!

The Phoenix formed from the Feathered Flying Knives collided with it. The blue Spiritual Power was shaken until it began to dissipate, scattering to the ground with a TSSS TSSS sound, like countless firecrackers going off.

"Beyond Reach!"

The Snake King’s brow twitched, his expression shifting. The Snake King Whip spun like a vortex before he suddenly raised it high and slashed.

SWISH SWISH SWISH!

The black Snake King Whip shot upwards from below, rushing like a bolt of black lightning. It surged against the stream and, with a BOOM, cleanly severed one of the wings of the Ice Blue Phoenix formed by the Feathered Flying Knives.

BANG!

The formation collapsed, and the power of the Feathered Flying Knives was greatly reduced.

The Snake King laughed heartily. "Let’s see what you have more of—your flying knives or this King’s Poison Needles!"

The Snake King Whip writhed again. Under the assault of thousands upon thousands of black Poison Needles, even the Feathered Flying Knives couldn’t hold on.

Amidst the CLANGING sounds of impact, their light dimmed. Coated in a layer of black light, they fell to the ground.

The venom of the Black God Python could actually corrode and sever Spiritual Power, preventing Hong Yu from controlling the Feathered Flying Knives. If he tried, he risked being poisoned himself.

At the same time,

the Snake King’s Mystical Dharma Aspect Black Divine King Snake had already closed in.

The beast opened its mouth and spat a cloud of black gas—a deadly poison.

Wherever it passed, the flowers and grass on the ground instantly withered and turned to pus. Even the fertile soil turned pitch-black. Nothing would grow here for decades to come.

’What a vicious poison mist.’

Hong Yu’s mind shuddered.

He knew he was no match for the Snake King and planned to retreat. He had to live to fight another day.

But...

To let him escape in such a sorry state? Obviously impossible!

Hong Yu’s gaze darkened, a ruthless look flashing across his face. His Divine Demon Wings beat, tearing through the air and blowing away some of the black mist with a powerful flap.

He then used the incredible speed of his Divine Demon Wings to rush out of the valley.

"Hahaha, trying to run? Not so easy!"

the Snake King roared with laughter.

His Mystical Dharma Aspect Black Divine King Snake was connected to his mind. With a low howl, its tail lashed out, descending from the sky and striking Hong Yu with a loud THUD.

"WAH!"

Hong Yu’s body shook violently, and he plummeted toward the ground like a falling star.

BOOM!

Hong Yu smashed straight through a small hill, causing it to collapse.

"Hahaha, weren’t you so arrogant just now? And now look at you, beaten to the ground by me!"

The Snake King laughed, immensely pleased with himself.

He landed on the head of the Black Divine King Snake and slithered toward where Hong Yu had fallen. Seeing the corner of a piece of clothing amid the messy pile of rocks, he sneered, "So you’re buried here. Allow this King to send you on your final journey!"

The Snake King suddenly leaped off the Black Divine King Snake.

TAP! TAP! TAP!

He walked through the rubble and stood beside the scrap of clothing. With a shudder, his Snake King Whip transformed from a whip into a black longsword. He stabbed it fiercely into the pile of rocks, grinning maliciously. "This should finish you off, right?" Saying this, he kicked the rubble away.

However...

When he saw that there was nothing but clothes under the rubble—no sign of Hong Yu—his heart skipped a beat. ’Not good!’

The Snake King prepared to retreat.

Just then, a weak but incredibly cold voice suddenly came from beneath the rubble. "Too late!"

BANG!

The pile of rocks exploded as Hong Yu shot out, moving as fast as lightning.

The Luo Rune Seal, glowing with black light, slapped onto the Snake King’s left shoulder with a SQUELCH.

TSSS! TSSS!

The black light pulsed, and a sharp pain shot through the Snake King’s left shoulder. He let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The Mystical Dharma Aspect Black Divine King Snake quickly coiled its tail around the Snake King and pulled him back.

But in that brief instant, the Snake King’s left shoulder and his entire left arm had completely withered, like a dead tree. His left hand was crippled.

Cold sweat beaded on the Snake King’s forehead. His eyes, filled with venomous hatred and boundless rage, stared daggers at Hong Yu. "You dared to trick me?"

"You’re damn right I tricked you!"

Hong Yu retorted coldly.

But that last attack had also aggravated his own injuries. He coughed up a Blood Arrow, and a searing pain flared across his back.

"I’ll tear you apart limb from limb!"

The Snake King was furious.

’My left hand has been crippled?’

This was simply unforgivable!

In his eyes, this was like a mighty tiger having its fangs pulled by a monkey due to carelessness—an utter humiliation.

Hong Yu gave him a cold smile and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Tear me apart? Maybe in your next life. I’m done playing with you!"

With that, Hong Yu forced his Divine Demon Wings to beat, preparing to fly away.

But just as he took to the air, a large green net suddenly fell from the sky, descending upon him. A clear, cold voice followed, echoing from the void...

"Why the hurry to leave? This King hasn’t had a chance to play with you yet!"
