Chapter 624: Chapter 623: Instant Kill
Jingnan Divine General ran swiftly.
After covering several dozen miles, he couldn’t help but scream in agony. Lifting his hands, he saw his fingers were broken and bleeding profusely. The wound in his abdomen had even slit open his intestines. Without a doubt, this was his most perilous moment. He gasped, the pain from his wounds causing him to break out in a cold sweat. These injuries were fatal; if his abdomen were pierced all the way through, he would have no chance of survival. Fortunately, he could still hold on.
He snarled, "God-Slayer! Evil Valley! I will return! When I do, I will make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"
He immediately turned to escape. However, at that moment, his body stiffened. He didn’t dare move, for an invisible pressure suffused with a punishing aura left him gasping for breath.
I feel dizzy. Even in my prime, I’d be no match for the owner of this presence. I’ve only ever felt such an aura from the Linlang Main God. This is undoubtedly a Main God, an expert far superior to the Divine General Level.
A cold sweat broke out across his skin as the murderous intent muddled his mind.
The next moment, a figure appeared, slowly approaching Jingnan Divine General.
It was the Evil Punishment Main God.
The Evil Punishment Main God sighed. "That fellow God-Slayer is too weak. I originally thought he could kill you, but he couldn’t even manage that and let you escape."
"To think he wants to challenge my position... He must be dreaming!"
The Evil Punishment Main God’s eyes were full of contempt for the arrogant God-Slayer. It was no secret in Evil Valley that God-Slayer wanted to challenge his position. Even though they had a good relationship, once such a rumor started, it was nearly impossible to retract.
Enduring his pain, Jingnan Divine General spoke respectfully, "So it is Lord Evil Punishment. I came to Evil Valley only wishing to pledge my allegiance to you."
"I don’t want your allegiance," the Evil Punishment Main God said. "You wanted to kill my junior brother! Therefore, your death is certain today."
"Junior brother?"
Jingnan Divine General instantly thought of Ye Fan. Shock and terror filled his heart; he had never expected Ye Fan to be the Evil Punishment Main God’s junior brother.
"So he is your junior brother," he said hurriedly. "If I had known, I certainly wouldn’t have moved against him. I would have followed him instead!"
Jingnan Divine General was a good actor, and he knew that without this pretense, he had no chance of survival. Even though immense hatred seethed within him, he had to hide it and not let it show.
The Evil Punishment Main God remained completely unmoved. "Make your move," he said a moment later. "Further talk is useless. No matter how well you plead, I will still act!"
Jingnan Divine General hadn’t expected that the Evil Punishment Main God would be so unswayed by the prospect of a powerful expert like himself joining his side. In truth, it would have been strange if the Evil Punishment Main God had been swayed. For one, he wouldn’t be able to face Ye Fan. Not to mention, this man had just tried to kill his own son!
Jingnan Divine General’s expression turned cold. "In that case, I must offend you. They say the Evil Punishment Main God wields Tongtian power. Today, I shall experience it for myself!"
"Kill!"
He unleashed three streams of Yuan energy. They swelled larger and larger in the air, converging to form the massive phantom of a Divine Beast—a Rhino Beast.
The Rhino Beast roared, its cry echoing through the heavens and shattering the leaves on nearby trees. This was clearly Jingnan Divine General’s strongest attack. Once the move was executed, he immediately drove the Rhino Beast forward to crush the Evil Punishment Main God.
The air itself seemed to condense and fall silent, gathering a vast and immeasurable force. This power was the culmination of Jingnan Divine General’s entire life’s strength. At this moment, he was both at his weakest and his peak, for this was the most brilliant move he would ever execute.
The rhino phantom reached its most glorious, most powerful moment as it crashed down upon the Evil Punishment Main God with peak force. The ground cracked and split in its wake, a hundred-meter-long fissure tearing through the earth. This was Jingnan Divine General’s ultimate attack.
Just then, the Evil Punishment Main God moved. The Demon Dragon manifested, roaring at the sky before leaping forward. The instant it landed, the Rhino Beast was utterly crushed.
The attack then fell upon Jingnan Divine General, and he disintegrated on the spot.
"AH!"
His final cry was one of despair and unwillingness, signaling the end of his life. Perhaps only in his last moments did he realize that before a master of the Main God Level, he was merely an ant—an ant that could be crushed with ease.
...
After dealing with Jingnan Divine General, the Evil Punishment Main God returned to Evil Valley, where he found Ye Fan and the other two waiting.
He turned to God-Slayer and said, "There isn’t much time left, old timer. When are you going to break through to the Main God Realm?"
God-Slayer replied, "I’m fully prepared, old fellow. I can step into that realm at any moment!" He was filled with unshakable confidence.
"Do you need us to stand watch for you?" the Evil Punishment Main God asked.
"Bullshit! I don’t need it!" God-Slayer immediately cursed.
At this, the Evil Punishment Main God said, "Since you don’t need us, my junior brother, my son, and I must be going."
"Go on! Go on!" God-Slayer waved dismissively. He was indeed growing impatient. Every additional word was just delaying his breakthrough to the Main God Realm, and he didn’t want to waste another second.
"Alright then," the Evil Punishment Main God said. "We’ll set off tomorrow!"
Ye Fan and Wu Fa nodded.
The next day, God-Slayer had already entered seclusion. The Evil Punishment Main God departed with Ye Fan and Wu Fa, heading for the Decisive Battle Arena.
The Decisive Battle Arena was located at the junction of the territories of three major powers: the Demon Clan, the Righteous Divine Lineage, and the Evil Divine Lineage. It was controlled by the Great Wilderness Main God and served as a gathering place for the geniuses of these great powers.
However, the Demon Clan had completely withdrawn from the place a thousand years ago, and their geniuses no longer attended. Thus, the hundred-year pact now only involved the Evil Divine Lineage and the Righteous Divine Lineage. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Although things seemed amicable on the surface, the reality was quite different. This was a confrontation between two distinct systems, held once every hundred years. In every competition, numerous geniuses were slaughtered. There were casualties from both the Righteous Divine Lineage and the Evil Divine Lineage. Few knew the full extent of the grim details, but one could imagine the terror involved. The geniuses from both sides had only one goal: to kill their opponents.
"Since we’re heading to the Decisive Battle Arena, let’s take the Demon Dragon!" the Evil Punishment Main God declared. At his command, a massive Demon Dragon descended from the sky.
It was far larger than the Spirit Bird Mu Keqing had ridden. This was, after all, a three-headed Demon Dragon with an extremely volatile temperament. It had taken the Evil Punishment Main God a very long time to subjugate it.
Each of the three heads had a specific function. One could breathe fire, another could shoot columns of water, and the middle head was the most terrifying of all—it could spew poisonous gas. This was what made the three-headed Demon Dragon so fearsome. Apart from a Divine General like God-Slayer, who was on the verge of becoming a Main God, no other Divine General was a match for it.
The three-headed Demon Dragon prostrated itself before the Evil Punishment Main God.
"Junior Brother, please!"
Ye Fan nodded. The three of them mounted the Demon Dragon, which then soared into the sky and vanished from sight.
Aboard the three-headed Demon Dragon, Ye Fan looked down and was nearly startled out of his wits. The endless mountains and rivers below looked as small as ants. Clearly, the Demon Dragon was incredibly fast.
Just then, the Evil Punishment Main God said, "Little Junior Brother, the Demon Dragon can travel a thousand miles a day. We can reach the Decisive Battle Arena in just two days."
"That’s good!" Ye Fan nodded.
But at that moment, the Evil Punishment Main God pulled Ye Fan aside.
"Senior Brother, is there something you need to speak to me about?" Ye Fan asked.
"Junior Brother," the Evil Punishment Main God said, "I have something important to discuss with you."
