Supreme Cultivation Master

Chapter 623: Chapter 622: New Grudges and Old Hatreds

At that moment, Ye Fan and Wu Fa were chatting casually, completely unaware that danger was imminent. But just then, a figure swiftly appeared and snatched the precious sword from Wu Fa’s hand.

"You’re looking for death! How dare you steal from me in Evil Valley!" Wu Fa immediately gave chase.

Ye Fan started to follow, but he paused when he sensed a familiar aura. After a moment’s hesitation, he continued the pursuit. I hope I’m just overthinking this, he thought uneasily.

The figure stayed just ahead of Wu Fa, maintaining a set distance. Upon reaching the city gate, the stranger suddenly cut down more than ten guards and then fled the city. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Damn it! You dare kill the warriors of Evil Valley? Not even the heavens can save you now!" Wu Fa cursed angrily.

"Don’t chase him!" Ye Fan warned.

But Wu Fa, consumed by rage, ignored him and sped up. Left with no choice and worried that Wu Fa might suffer a loss on his own, Ye Fan followed.

About twenty miles outside the city, the figure finally landed.

"Run! Why have you stopped running?" Wu Fa shouted.

Ye Fan arrived right behind him and immediately realized this was a trap. It had to be; otherwise, why would their pursuer lead them all the way out here only to stop?

The figure turned around. Wu Fa didn’t recognize him, but Ye Fan was shocked. His guess had been correct—it was the Jingnan Divine General.

The Jingnan Divine General smirked coldly at Ye Fan. "Do you know who I am?"

"Of course, I do," Ye Fan replied immediately. "How could I not? What I don’t understand is why you waited until now. You had a chance to strike a fatal blow back in the city."

The Divine General said mockingly, "Evil Valley has its rules. While I fear no one, I must at least abide by them. Besides, I don’t intend to kill you with a single strike! I want to torture you—torture you thoroughly! You are the one who single-handedly created the plight I find myself in today. For that, I will kill you by a thousand cuts to vent the hatred in my heart!" he snarled.

But Wu Fa interjected, "I am one of the three great geniuses of Evil Valley, and my father is the Evil Punishment Main God! Are you sure you dare to kill my Junior Martial Uncle?"

"Junior Martial Uncle?" the Jingnan Divine General asked curiously.

"That’s right," said Wu Fa. "He is my Junior Martial Uncle. You had better think carefully before you act."

After all, the Evil Punishment Main God was a renowned powerhouse in the Divine Domain. Not just the Jingnan Divine General, but even the Hu Ben Main God had to show him some deference.

At this, the Jingnan Divine General said coldly, "If I kill you both now, the Evil Punishment Main God will never know."

Without a doubt, he had unleashed his killing intent—a powerful aura that enveloped them both.

Wu Fa immediately tried to send a signal with his elemental energy, but it was blocked. His expression turned ugly, and he glared fiercely at the Jingnan Divine General.

The Jingnan Divine General, however, just laughed wildly. Since he had already offended the Hu Ben Main God, he wasn’t afraid of offending the Evil Punishment Main God as well. Even if it meant killing the son of the Evil Punishment Main God, he no longer cared.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, remained surprisingly calm.

The Jingnan Divine General shouted sinisterly at Ye Fan, "How do you want to die?"

Wu Fa moved to attack but was stopped by Ye Fan.

"Don’t be impulsive!" Ye Fan told him. Though Wu Fa was an extremely impatient man—the type to start a fight at the slightest provocation—he held back.

Ye Fan then said, "I’m the one you want to kill, not him. Please, let him go before you kill me."

"Junior Martial Uncle!" Wu Fa cried out, clearly willing to die alongside Ye Fan.

"Impossible. You both must die! However, I will give you my word. I will only torment you, not him. I’ll give him a quick and painless death," the Jingnan Divine General said coldly.

Ye Fan asked, "So there’s no room for negotiation?"

"Of course not!" the Jingnan Divine General said decisively. He was ready to strike. With both of them under his control, their lives and deaths were merely a thought away.

Just then, Ye Fan suddenly said, "Actually, you have another choice!"

"What choice?" the Jingnan Divine General asked.

Ye Fan replied, "You can surrender now. If you do, we might still spare your life." freёwebnovel.com

"Oh, really?" The Jingnan Divine General scoffed. "What right do you have to speak to me like that? Crushing the two of you would be as easy as squashing an ant!" He believed they were completely delusional. Had their minds short-circuited, daring to negotiate with him at a time like this?

"Is that so? Then try crushing me first!" a commanding voice boomed, and the barrier the Jingnan Divine General had erected instantly shattered.

The Jingnan Divine General spun around and saw the Slaughter God. He had arrived after receiving Ye Fan’s signal. In fact, the moment Ye Fan had sensed something was amiss, he had sent it. The entire conversation had just been a ruse to buy time. The Jingnan Divine General thought he had them cornered, but they had actually been leading him into a trap all along.

The Jingnan Divine General was shocked. He knew of the Slaughter God, of course—the number one expert below the Main God Level. Even he was nowhere near the Slaughter God’s power. He never expected the Slaughter God himself to show up.

The Slaughter God immediately attacked, shouting, "You dare try to kill my Junior Brother? I’ll teach you some manners!"

He unleashed three beams of Sword Qi that surged toward the Jingnan Divine General, attempting to surround and kill him. The Jingnan Divine General scrambled to defend himself, but he was too slow. Though he managed to dodge two of the Sword Qi beams, the third struck him in the abdomen.

"BREAK!"

The Jingnan Divine General’s hands exploded in a burst of blood mist as he was sent flying backward. As he flew, his body tore a path of destruction through the forest, uprooting the entire section of trees he passed over. Such was the power of a Peak Divine General; even while being knocked away, the collateral damage he caused was immense.

"Agh!" The Jingnan Divine General spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was no match for the Slaughter God. His strength was, at best, comparable to the Rashamon God General, and the Rashamon God General was utterly powerless before the Slaughter God. How could he have expected a different outcome?

But the Slaughter God had no intention of letting him go so easily. He soared into the sky and plunged into the forest with unstoppable momentum. The earth trembled the moment he landed.

Just then, however, the Slaughter God lost the Jingnan Divine General’s aura.

"After him!" Wu Fa shouted. It wasn’t an order for the Slaughter God, but a cry born from his own lingering fury. He desperately wanted to chase down the Jingnan Divine General and kill him.

But the Slaughter God said confidently, "He can run, but he can’t hide. Relax, the old man is waiting for him up ahead. No one can escape from the old man’s grasp."

Hearing that the Evil Punishment Main God himself was lying in wait, Ye Fan and Wu Fa fell silent. With a powerhouse like the Evil Punishment Main God mobilized, there was nothing more for them to say. The grievously wounded Jingnan Divine General would not be able to escape his clutches.
