Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Two Celestial King Realms
Prince Duan’s eyes gleamed with a divine light.
Standing at the edge of the Flying Ship, he scanned the ground below. Anyone his gaze fell upon felt an inexplicable jolt in their heart.
"Hmph. The Martial Soul Hall again..."
Prince Duan muttered almost inaudibly before taking a step forward, dropping straight down from the Flying Ship with his legs held stiff.
After landing with a THUD, no one could see his movements clearly.
Prince Duan’s figure blurred into an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside a Chief Steward of the Great Xia Dragon Guards who was at the Human King Realm.
That Human King Realm Chief Steward was fighting two Human King Realm experts from the Martial Soul Hall.
BAM!
BAM!
With two lightning-fast punches, the two Martial Soul Hall Human King Realm experts were utterly powerless before the Celestial King Realm Prince Duan. They were instantly obliterated, exploding into two masses of Martial Soul Power.
"A... a Celestial King Realm expert! Run!"
Beside Xuan Snake, an Earth King Realm expert from the Martial Soul Hall roared in terror and immediately turned to flee.
The remaining five Martial Soul Hall Martial King Realm experts, including Xuan Snake, didn’t hesitate for a second. They immediately abandoned their opponents and scattered in all directions.
Now, they finally understood why Jingtai and his men dared to attack the Martial Soul Hall’s main base, why they had been boasting that they would annihilate the Martial Soul Hall today.
They had brought a Celestial King Realm expert!
Killing two Human King Realm experts with two punches, without even using Primordial Power or his Martial Soul... even Xuan Snake himself likely lacked the power to perform such a feat.
The gap between the Earth King Realm and the Celestial King Realm was simply too vast—so vast that Xuan Snake and the others couldn’t even entertain the thought of resisting.
However, after such a long and fierce battle, Jingtai and his men were not about to let the five King Realm experts escape. Three King Realm Chief Stewards immediately moved to intercept and delay them.
Prince Duan didn’t dawdle either. Unleashing his Celestial King Realm speed, he moved like lightning, rushing toward another Human King Realm Chief Steward and, with a single punch and kick, easily annihilated two more of the Martial Soul Hall’s Human King Realm experts.
At this moment, the surrounding Great Xia Dragon Guards, along with the Earth Spirit Realm and Celestial Spirit Realm members of the Martial Soul Hall, were all completely stupefied.
The lofty and powerful King Realm experts could be so utterly fragile!
With two more Human King Realm experts fallen, the Lianshan County Martial Soul Hall was now left with only three Earth King Realm experts, including Xuan Snake.
As the three of them fled for their lives, Grand Chief Steward Jingtai seized the opportunity. He unleashed a Secret Technique and Soul Techniques, blasting one of them to death.
And the other one was intercepted by Prince Duan.
Dealing with an Earth King Realm expert was clearly not as simple as dealing with those at the Human King Realm.
Prince Duan retrieved a golden long spear from his Storage Ring. With a single thrust, the very space around them seemed to tremble. A vortex formed at the spear’s tip, forcibly grinding the Earth King Realm expert to dust.
A one-shot kill!
With Jingtai blocking his path ahead and Prince Duan in pursuit from behind...
Xuan Snake, the Sub-Palace Master of the Martial Soul Hall, fell into despair.
"Damn it! Even if I die, I’m taking you all down with me!"
"True Martial Soul!"
Xuan Snake completely abandoned the thought of escape and abruptly unleashed his True Martial Soul.
A thick black mist rapidly spread out from him. Within the mist, Xuan Snake’s body twisted and contorted until, in a matter of moments, he had transformed from his human form into a colossal, three-hundred-meter-long black Profound Snake.
The enormous Profound Snake coiled on the ground like a small mountain, its two scarlet eyes, each the size of a city gate, fixed on the nearby Great Xia Dragon Guards with pure killing intent.
The Primordial Power of the Martial King Realm allowed one to unleash the true power of their Martial Soul to its fullest extent!
Xuan Snake’s Tier Four True Martial Soul was over a hundred times more powerful than Flame Wolf’s Tier Three True Martial Soul!
The giant snake let out a piercing hiss and then began to move with a deafening RUMBLE, plowing toward the surrounding Great Xia Dragon Guards to crush them.
Xuan Snake’s True Martial Soul was immensely powerful. If it rolled over them directly, perhaps not even the Six Great Army Commanders could escape death!
At this point, Xuan Snake no longer cared about the Martial Soul Hall members in his path. All he wanted was to kill as many Great Xia Dragon Guards as possible before he died!
"Vile beast, you’re courting death!"
A cold shout suddenly echoed from the sky above.
In the open doorway of the Flying Ship, another figure in black robes appeared. His tyrannical aura was even a few notches stronger than Prince Duan’s had been.
Another Celestial King Realm expert!
"Die!"
The Celestial King Realm expert stood upon the Flying Ship, suddenly stretched out a hand, and pressed it down toward Xuan Snake from across the distance.
Above Xuan Snake’s colossal body, terrifying Primordial Power billowed, rapidly condensing into a Primordial Power Hand Seal hundreds of meters wide before smashing down violently.
"Damn it! Even if I die, your County City will be buried with me! Lianshan County City is already doomed..." Xuan Snake roared, tilting his head back, his scarlet eyes filled with desperate terror.
BOOM!
The very earth shook and the mountains swayed.
Under that giant palm, Xuan Snake’s True Martial Soul couldn’t hold on for even a moment before it was slapped into a mass of Martial Soul Power.
The black mist shattered, the giant palm dissipated, and all that remained on the ground was an enormous, five-fingered Palm Seal.
The once-invincible Sub-Palace Master of the Martial Soul Hall, Xuan Snake, had been slapped to death with a single palm strike even after unleashing his True Martial Soul!
With all seven of their King Realm experts dead, the Martial Soul Hall’s forces instantly collapsed. Everyone lost the will to fight and scattered in a chaotic rout.
In contrast, the morale of the Great Xia Dragon Guards was soaring. Led by the Six Great Army Commanders, they swiftly moved to annihilate the remaining Earth Spirit Realm and Celestial Spirit Realm members of the Martial Soul Hall.
With the support of two Human King Realm Chief Stewards, the fierce battle raged for nearly two more hours before every last Earth Spirit Realm and Celestial Spirit Realm member of the Martial Soul Hall was finally slain.
As for the Small Spirit Realm cultivators who had fled, the Dragon Guards paid them little mind.
There were too many, and hunting them all down would be too much trouble. They could be slowly cleaned up later; without their Earth Spirit Realm and Celestial Spirit Realm experts, they couldn’t stir up any significant trouble anyway.
After the Martial Soul Hall was completely annihilated, several Flying Demon Beasts descended from the Flying Ship to carry Prince Duan, the three Lord Chief Stewards of the Great Xia Dragon Guards, and the six Military Lords back up to the vessel.
The Flying Ship then accelerated rapidly, piercing through the clouds and soaring across the heavens as it sped toward Lianshan County City. It soon became a black speck and vanished over the distant horizon.
The remaining Earth Spirit Realm and Celestial Spirit Realm members were left to clean up the battlefield, after which they would ride Flying Demon Beasts back to the County City.
After boarding the Flying Ship, Jingtai and the others finally got a clear look at the person who had killed Xuan Snake.
He was a Celestial King Realm expert from the Great Xia Dragon Guard headquarters in the Imperial City. His power was unfathomable, and he was rumored to have already reached the level of a ninth-level Martial King.
He was just a single step away from the Li Emperor Realm.
"Greetings, Lord Lan!"
Upon seeing the man, Jingtai hurriedly bowed in salute.
This Lord Lan not only possessed transcendent strength but also held extremely high status and seniority within the Great Xia Dragon Guards.
The other two Chief Stewards and the six Military Lords standing behind Jingtai also followed his lead and bowed.
Lord Lan gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
