Chapter 918: Chapter 521: Asura Demon Lord… Online?!
Back when Chen Yuan was first perceived as a threat, Wanyan Tianba already intended to eliminate this scourge. Even if he had the slightest potential to grow to the heights of that unparalleled emperor, he could not be allowed to thrive.
He had to be killed to prevent future troubles.
It’s just that, at the beginning, he felt that with the strength of that Barbarian Yang Transformation expert, there was a chance to eliminate this person, so he wasn’t in a hurry to act.
After all, no matter how you look at it, he was the Great Khan of the ancient Golden Royal Court, a True Monarch at the pinnacle of the Yang God, dealing with a Core Realm Martial Artist would inevitably cause people to ridicule him for bullying the weak with the strong.
If this got out, where would his face be?
The result, however, greatly exceeded his expectations. In just a few moments, this person deployed multiple means and successfully slew the Barbarian Yang Transformation expert.
With this result, he couldn’t be left alive.
He even disregarded any future consequences. At such an opportune moment, he had to eliminate him; otherwise, there would be no opportunities in the future.
As a Great Khan ruling over the entire Barbarian Iron Cavalry, with his sights set on the entire Central Plains Border, he could not constantly keep an eye on him.
So, he made his move.
When Chen Yuan had just slain the Barbarian Yang Transformation expert, Wanyan Tianba locked his energy onto him, intending to kill and obliterate this person in a single strike.
Thus, he would vanish from the world.
In his perspective, this strike was something the Central Plains genius named Chen Yuan could not withstand. No matter what means he employed, no matter how exceptional his talent, he couldn’t possibly face-off against a True Monarch’s means with his Core Realm cultivation.
This person was undoubtedly doomed!
Feeling the terrifying energy lock onto him, Chen Yuan suddenly stiffened. Even his physical body felt a bit rigid, and moving became difficult. His eyes quickly turned serious.
The Great Khan of the Royal Court, a True Monarch, was definitely not someone he could resist with his strength.
He had to rely on Senior Moluo’s power to take on the Asura Demon Lord form to have any hope.
However, doing so would completely expose his identity, and the court would surely see that he was the one who had caused chaos in the Imperial City before.
From then on, he would have no choice but to start rebelling early.
But at this moment, there was obviously no time to worry about such things. With his life on the line, what else could he plan for? At worst, he could overturn the table and start from scratch.
With a thought, Chen Yuan immediately awakened the dormant Senior Moluo, and threads of Demon Flame began to rise subtly.
At that moment, another surge of terrifying power enveloped him, shielding him from Wanyan Tianba’s aura. It was King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng.
While Wanyan Tianba was focusing on Chen Yuan, wasn’t Wei Jinfeng also keeping an eye on him?
Therefore, when Wanyan Tianba made his move, Wei Jinfeng immediately acted to protect Chen Yuan!
His talent, his future, made Wei Jinfeng hopeful that as long as he didn’t fall, he would definitely grow significantly. Why not lend him a hand?
More importantly, Wei Jinfeng couldn’t let anything happen to Chen Yuan.
Putting everything else aside, Chen Yuan was the direct descendant of the Xiang Family, the only son of the former Crown Prince of Chu, Xiang Qianqiu, likely heavily invested in by him.
If he died, Wei Jinfeng felt that Xiang Qianqiu would definitely do something he would greatly regret.
That person, to restore Chu and destroy Jin, would do anything!
Moreover, his strength was extraordinary, nearly reaching the Sixth Realm.
If such a powerhouse was against him, it would put Beiliang in an exceptionally dangerous situation.
Thus, with all these compelling reasons, Wei Jinfeng had to intervene.
A Divine Spear materialized in the void, having been prepared in advance, instantly breaking Wanyan Tianba’s confinement.
Chen Yuan’s heart stirred. With Wei Jinfeng’s intervention, there was no longer any need for him to act. Instantly, the slight Demon Flame that had just leaked from his body quickly disappeared. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFirｅ.net
Then, without regard for anything else, Chen Yuan crossed the void in an instant, returning to the city wall.
Wei Wuque hurriedly stepped forward, saying with some admiration and concern:
“Brother Chen…. Are you alright?”
Chen Yuan waved his hand, without engaging in further idle talk, his gaze immediately fell on the confrontation in the void.
Not only him, but the experts from the Sword Sect Pass, as well as those in the distant Barbarian army formation, all focused their eyes on Wanyan Tianba and King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng.
Everyone knew they were the true protagonists today.
Their victory or defeat would truly determine the outcome of this battle.
“For a mighty Great Khan of the Royal Court to ambush a Core Realm Martial Artist, Wanyan, it seems you truly don’t care about your reputation.” Wei Jinfeng took a step forward.
His battle armor emitted a golden glow, one hand gripping the Divine Spear in the void, looking calmly at his opponent, he spoke indifferently.
Wanyan Tianba snorted coldly, slowly consolidating his figure:
“This person has his uses on the Grassland. Wei Jinfeng, as long as you hand him over, today’s battle will cease here.”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of many Martial Artists at Sword Sect Pass fell on Chen Yuan, filled with astonishment and seriousness. They hadn’t expected Chen Yuan’s value to be so high.
For his sake, the Barbarian Great Khan was willing to call off today’s hostilities.
It must be said, this was indeed a shocking condition. Given today’s events, it was clear the Northern Barbarians had arrived well-prepared, and it was definitely more than just a simple probe.
The forces fielded by both sides were over 700,000, with more than a dozen Yang Transformation True Masters.
Anyone could see Wanyan Tianba’s killing intent towards Chen Yuan.
In response, Chen Yuan merely furrowed his brows, suspiciously guessing whether this person had already realized he was the one who had previously caused a commotion at the Royal Court’s sacrificial ceremony.
