Chapter 657 Vessel
Bang, bang, bang!!
Under the confrontation between Wang Chao and the red-cloaked envoy, all those below the Great King level were sent flying, spewing blood and tumbling helplessly.
Zhang Long was also thrown out, crashing into the wall, experiencing a searing pain in his internal organs.
Wang Chao had only protected Shen Bing and Liu Yifei, not Zhang Long, which led to Zhang Long suffering injuries as well.
Fortunately, he was standing next to Wang Chao and didn't bear much of the force.
Zhang Long, after spitting out a mouthful of blood upon hitting the ground, immediately looked at Shen Bing, Shen Feng, and Liu Yifei with a worried expression. When he saw that Shen Bing and the others were unharmed, his eyes brightened, and he quickly got up, taking cover behind Wang Chao.
Boom!
At this moment, the confrontation between Wang Chao and the red-cloaked envoy became even more terrifying, erupting in a deafening sound.
The overwhelming aura caused the surrounding walls to crack.
The subordinates of the four Great Kings who had just risen from the ground were once again sent flying, suffering heavier injuries than before.
At this moment, even Yan Luo, Snite, Chi Long, and Lucifer felt unsteady, their eyes filled with extreme shock.
Originally, they thought that Wang Chao wasn't that powerful, that they could easily handle him.
But now, Wang Chao had revealed such a terrifying aura, proving that he could compete on equal footing with the red-cloaked envoy. This left them greatly shocked.
At the same time, they all felt a sense of relief. Thankfully, they hadn't acted hastily against Wang Chao earlier. Otherwise, even all of them together might not be a match for him, the Great King-level experts.
The red-cloaked envoy stared at Wang Chao, his gaze increasingly sharp, tinged with admiration.
Suddenly, he retracted his overwhelming aura.
In that instant when he withdrew his aura, Wang Chao's aura vanished without a trace.
The red-cloaked envoy looked at Wang Chao with even greater appreciation. "Impressive! You truly come from that place."
When a master makes a move, one can tell how formidable the opponent is. For a true master, it's not about how terrifying the power you can unleash is but how easily you can control that terrifying power and withdraw it at will.
That's the mark of a true master!
The red-cloaked envoy intentionally withdrew his aura to see if Wang Chao could freely control his power.
This test immediately made him look at Wang Chao with higher regard once more.
He could wield his power with great skill!
He was undoubtedly a true master!
Wang Chao finished his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, extinguished the butt, and fixed his gaze on the red-cloaked envoy. He asked, "You're quite impressive too. You made preparations to withstand my aura impact when you withdrew your aura. You're strong."
"People who come from that place are indeed extraordinary."
"So, who are you exactly? Why haven't I seen you before?"
With that, he tossed the cigarette butt into an ashtray and stared at the red-cloaked envoy, his gaze growing even colder.
The red-cloaked envoy's gaze remained calm as he coldly replied, "Brother, it's not right to say that. We've all come from that place, so we absolutely cannot reveal the real name of that place. It's taboo."
"If the true name is uttered, the people from that place will never spare us."
"You're harboring ill intentions!"
Wang Chao chuckled but didn't continue speaking, his eyes growing even more profound.
The red-cloaked envoy also stared at Wang Chao, his eyes filled with conflict.
Although they didn't say a word, the aura emanating from both of them became increasingly cold and filled with murderous intent.
An invisible pressure swept through the room.
After what seemed like a long pause, the red-cloaked envoy seemed to have made some decisions. He said, "Brother, since we've all come from that place."
"So, we should discuss the rules of that place. Everything should follow a first-come, first-served basis. I was the one who first set my sights on this spirit worm, but you want to kill it. Isn't that unfair?"
"According to what I know, isn't that not the rule of that place?" Wang Chao smiled.
He had figured out that the red-cloaked envoy was testing him. With the envoy's strength and style, he didn't seem like someone who would adhere to rules. To acquire the spirit worm, it was clear that he was planning to take it by force.
Suddenly mentioning the rules seemed like a ploy, an attempt to deceive him. So, Wang Chao wasn't going to reveal any weaknesses too soon.
As for the rules of that place, how could he possibly know? Of course, he had to make up something in the end. While this person was still unaware of his true background, he intended to chat and see if he could discover more clues.
Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, the red-cloaked envoy's expression grew more unpleasant.
To be honest, he genuinely wanted to eliminate all of Wang Chao's group and take Shen Feng away. However, after the aura confrontation a moment ago, he had already seen that Wang Chao's strength was extraordinary and not something he could easily defeat.
Moreover, if they were to engage in a fight, the resulting shockwaves and turbulence would undoubtedly jeopardize Shen Feng's safety.
Now that Wang Chao had used golden needles to control the spirit worm, interfering with Wang Chao might cause the needle to loosen and potentially kill the spirit worm.
At this moment, he was wary of Wang Chao.
As Wang Chao and the red-cloaked envoy fell silent, everyone in the room was bewildered, glancing at each other. They were all baffled.
What place were they talking about?
What were Wang Chao and the envoy talking about?
They were all at a loss, utterly confused.
Zhang Long, Shen Bing, and the others were equally perplexed.
"Brother, since we've all come from that place, let's talk things out. So, what's your intention?" The red-cloaked envoy asked.
Wang Chao remained calm and said, "I'll say it again. Did you place that worm in Shen Feng?"
"Yes, I did," the red-cloaked envoy replied with a deep voice.
"When did you put it in?"
"Many years ago."
"So, you're saying that this child's mother was also killed by you with that worm?"
"I wouldn't call it killing. This child and his mother both have the Nine Yin constitution, and their physique is the best vessel to cultivate a spirit worm. I used their flesh and blood to cultivate the spirit worm."
Hearing the voice of the red-cloaked envoy, Zhang Long, Shen Bing, and Liu Yifei were all stunned.
Especially Shen Bing, her expression turned extremely unpleasant, and she seemed dumbfounded. So her mother and younger brother didn't die from an illness; they were used as vessels for cultivating a spirit worm by this person?
"A vessel? What do you take human lives for?" Wang Chao's gaze grew even colder.
"Heh, brother, don't act so self-righteous here."
The red-cloaked envoy also smiled coldly, his tone full of contempt. "Do you think people from that place would treat ordinary lives as lives?"
