Chapter 647 -643: No One Escapes

“A Divine King? You’re nothing special!”

Hong Yu threw his head back and laughed, dark golden flames erupting from his body, making him look like a Flame Giant.

He suddenly dove down, his hand clamping around the Snake King’s neck like a steel pincer, and slowly lifted him up.

The Snake King’s body was covered in grievous injuries; he couldn’t move anything but his head.

He stared at Hong Yu with venomous fury. “You bastard, don’t get cocky. One day, you will die at the hands of my North and South Divine City!”

“Who I’ll die at the hands of is anyone’s guess, but I know for a fact that you will die at mine!” Hong Yu said indifferently.

This Snake King’s methods were insidious and cruel.

Letting him go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains—it would only lead to endless trouble in the future!

Sensing Hong Yu’s chilling killing intent, the Snake King was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, sneering, “Kill me? HAHAHA, you don’t dare! I am a Divine King of the North and South Divine City, protected by the Divine City itself. If you dare kill me, our City Lord will stop at nothing to annihilate you!”

“You said the same thing when I killed Beitang Ling!” Hong Yu’s expression was calm.

‘The North and South Divine City?’

‘Even if they don’t come for me, I’ll be paying them a visit sooner or later!’

‘Damn it!’

‘Do you really think I’m some pushover? You’re allowed to send experts to kill me, but I’m not allowed to kill you?’

The Snake King’s face darkened, and he cursed viciously, “If you have the guts, then kill me! If you don’t, you’re a cowardly bastard! Heheheh, you don’t dare, do you? You’re scared, aren’t you? Our North and South Divine City’s two Great City Lords are unparalleled. They will slay the True Dragon and leave this damned place. When that happens, not only will you die, but your entire family will die too!”

“Hm?”

Hong Yu narrowed his eyes.

He was furious!

He was truly furious!

Family had always been Hong Yu’s Reversed Scale—the one thing he would not tolerate being touched. And this Snake King dared to threaten his family?

“HAHAHAHA, in all my life, I’ve never heard such a request! Fine! Since you’re asking me to kill you, I’ll grant your wish!”

Hong Yu’s laughter stopped abruptly. Then, the World-Burning Golden Lotus Pupil in his right eye suddenly contracted.

With a WHOOSH, dark golden flames engulfed the Snake King.

“AH! You… you really dare to kill me…”

“No, I don’t want to die…”

BOOM!

Amidst indignant roars, the Snake King was turned directly to ash.

“…”

Silence.

The other three God King Level experts were all dumbfounded, at a loss for words.

‘Damn it, how is this guy so vicious?’

The Fire-Devouring King was the first to recover. His expression flickered as he stared intently at Hong Yu, a trace of fear in his eyes.

Tan Tianhuo’s hand, gripping the Netherworld Fire Dragon Banner, trembled. His eyes darted about, filled with regret. ‘What a setup! That useless Snake King and Chrysanthemum King are a complete liability! Son of a bitch! If I’d known this Hong Yu was so ferocious, you couldn’t have paid me to get involved.’

He was now filled with immense regret.

He even regretted volunteering to charge from the core region to the middle battlefield to find Hong Yu.

God King Level experts.

Even in the core region, where the Four Great Divine Cities and the Eight Great Battle Clans were at war, experts of this level rarely fell!

Such experts were the absolute elite in any faction, treated like precious treasures. If a faction lost a Divine King, they would truly go berserk.

Because of this, even though the Eight Great Battle Clans and the Four Great Divine Cities fought like fire and water, their conflict raging…

…experts at the Divine King Level and above rarely fought to the death.

A single misstep could drag two factions into a fight to the bitter end.

Tan Tianhuo even remembered that his father, the esteemed Clan Leader of the Netherworld Race, had captured a Divine King from West Gate Divine City but chose to release him instead of killing him.

Even a top expert with the entire Netherworld Race backing him didn’t dare to kill a Divine King so easily.

Yet this Hong Yu, a lone fighter with no background and no backing, dared to deliver a killing blow to a Divine King?

And so mercilessly!

Today, Tan Tianhuo finally understood an old saying: someone with nothing to lose fears nothing.

‘They’re going to go crazy. The North and South Divine City will go completely mad over this!’ Tan Tianhuo swallowed hard.

The Chrysanthemum King also looked at Hong Yu in horror. ‘My… my god, the Snake King was just killed… just like that?’

‘He’s crazy, completely crazy!’

‘This guy’s a lunatic! He even dares to kill a Divine King! Isn’t he afraid the entire North and South Divine City will come to kill him?’

‘Let’s go! We can’t afford to provoke this guy!’

‘He’s a madman, we can’t mess with him! To hell with the Venerable Golden Bone, I don’t want it anymore…’

The three God King Level experts exchanged a look, then turned and fled without hesitation.

BOOM!

The Fire-Devouring King’s Mystical Dharma Divine Bell fell at his feet. He jumped right into it, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot into the distance.

The Netherworld Fire Dragon Banner in Tan Tianhuo’s hand flashed.

Several streams of black flame coalesced into black fire dragons, carrying him swiftly away.

A golden chrysanthemum bloomed beneath the Chrysanthemum King’s feet, carrying him away at an equally incredible speed.

They were truly terrified!

How many years had it been…

How many years had passed since a God King Level expert had fallen on the True Dragon Battlefield? But now, they were truly afraid, utterly horrified.

Divine Kings—how lofty and revered was their status?

But so what?

Even Divine Kings were afraid of death!

Hong Yu watched the three flee in disarray, his face devoid of joy or sorrow, but a grim, murderous light surged in his eyes. ‘Dammit, you think you can just leave after ganging up on me? It’s not that easy!’

“None of you are getting away today!”

Hong Yu roared.

With a series of SHWIPS, the Divine Demon Wings tore through the air and unfurled behind him—six incredibly black wings, wreathed in a layer of black smoke.

The Divine Demon Wings vibrated, shattering the void.

They moved with such speed, like thunder tearing through space itself.

“Damn it, he’s so fast! Stop him, quick!”

The Chrysanthemum King was falling behind. Seeing Hong Yu—wreathed in dark golden flames, his six jet-black Divine Demon Wings beating as they tore through the air in pursuit—he was scared out of his wits, breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Block him for me! Block him!”

The Chrysanthemum King quickly tossed out a series of golden chrysanthemums.

These chrysanthemums were about the size of a baby’s fist. They shot forward rapidly, blooming in the void.

Each blooming chrysanthemum shimmered with an elegant fragrance, its golden radiance converging to form a golden curtain of light.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The chrysanthemums exploded one after another, kicking up an incredibly powerful storm.

A terrifying shockwave surged toward Hong Yu like a mighty tide.

It was like a sweeping tsunami.

“Get lost!”

Hong Yu growled coldly.

The Thunder Emperor’s Divine Eyes in his left eye spun, shooting out a bolt of purple lightning that instantly tore a path through the surging explosive shockwave ahead.

His Divine Demon Wings vibrated again.

His speed increased severalfold as he charged swiftly toward them.

Now that the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame had been devoured by Hong Yu, there was no longer anything in the cave to obstruct them, so they could all move at full speed.

Therefore…

…a journey that would have originally taken several days, they covered in just over ten minutes, reaching the cave entrance.

“Hurry, let’s go!”

The Fire-Devouring King was the first to burst out of the cave. He shot straight into the sky, let out a great roar, and called for the experts from the Eastern Divine City to take flight with him.

Tan Tianhuo followed close behind.

The moment he was out, the Netherworld Fire Dragon Banner in his hand shook the air, unleashing a wave of black light that swept up the experts of the Netherworld Race into the sky. Enveloped by the Netherworld Fire Dragon Banner, they fled swiftly into the distance.

The experts from West Gate Divine City and North and South Divine City grew extremely anxious when the Chrysanthemum King and Snake King didn’t emerge, but they didn’t dare to leave.

BOOM!

A golden figure was sent stumbling out of the cave by an explosion.

The experts from West Gate Divine City were stunned.

They realized this guy who had suddenly been blasted out… didn’t have an ass?

“Who’s this guy?”

“His poor parents, giving birth to a son with no asshole!”

“Wait… this guy looks a lot like our Chrysanthemum King!”

“Huh?!”

When the Chrysanthemum King landed messily on the ground and looked up from a face-plant position, the experts from West Gate Divine City were all flabbergasted. “…”

‘Holy shit!’

‘This guy with no asshole is the Chrysanthemum King?’

West Gate Divine City’s experts: “…”

North and South Divine City’s experts: “…”

The Chrysanthemum King coughed up blood. He scrambled to his feet and roared, “Go, hurry up and go!”

“Huh?”

“What on earth happened?”

“Why did several God King Level experts flee in such a panic?”

Everyone was hesitant and confused.

Seeing that no one was listening to him, the Chrysanthemum King spat out a vicious mouthful of blood and prepared to get up and flee on his own.

But just as he scrambled up, a figure wreathed in raging flames flew out from the cave behind him.

This figure was, of course, Hong Yu.

The moment he exited the cave, he saw the Chrysanthemum King getting up to escape. With a cold sneer, he delivered a flying kick—BOOM—that struck the Chrysanthemum King in the back, stomping him hard onto the ground.

“Huh? That’s Hong Yu?”

“Is he immolating himself?”

“Who cares? Get him! Kill him and take the Venerable Golden Bone!”

The eyes of the crowd of experts turned crimson, filled with greed and fervor.

They remembered that bringing back the Venerable Golden Bone came with a handsome reward—it could even allow a Divine General to advance to Divine King!

Great rewards make for brave men!

In a moment of hot-headedness, these experts charged at Hong Yu, roaring for his death.

Hong Yu glanced at the crowd. “Courting death!”

The pupil in his right eye, shaped like a World-Burning Golden Lotus, twitched slightly. Dark golden flames shot out with a FWOOSH. In an instant, more than ten people were touched by the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame, their bodies igniting as if they had set themselves on fire.

“I’m on fire! Help me put it out, quick!”

“Help me…”

The experts afflicted by the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame cried out in panic, running wildly toward their companions, begging them for help in extinguishing the flames.

Some couldn’t find anyone and burned to ashes on their own. Others managed to grab a companion, but before they could even start putting out the fire, their companion was also set ablaze and burned fiercely…

For a moment, the valley was filled with wails and shrieks, the screams of agony shaking the heavens.

A few who had been slower were not caught in the blaze. Their scalps tingled with fear, and they no longer dared to linger, quickly taking to the air and fleeing in utter disarray.

Hong Yu glanced at them, a playful smile on his face. “Weren’t you all so eager to see me dead? Hmph, in that case, none of you are leaving!”

Then…

…a silver light shone from the Illusory Spirit Celestial Eyes in Hong Yu’s left eye, sweeping over them like a silver canopy descending from the sky.

Instantly, the experts’ expressions went vacant, and they fell from the sky.

The Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame danced over them like excited Flame Elves, incinerating each of the experts and turning them to ash.

In an instant, the dozens of experts from North and South Divine City and West Gate Divine City were all dead. Hong Yu looked down at the Chrysanthemum King beneath his foot, grinned, and brought his Godslaying Spear down with a crash, lopping off his head.

Then, the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame surged into the Chrysanthemum King’s body, cleanly incinerating both his physical form and his Primordial Spirit.

After finishing all this, Hong Yu slowly raised his head, looked into the distance, and grinned…

“You’re next!”
