The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1002: The Situation Changes Again!_1

Although his decision was made in just a brief moment, it was a well-considered one. The reason was simple – what Yang Chen said was indeed true.

Now that Fu Yunhe was dead, what was the point of targeting Yang Chen? Even if he killed Yang Chen, what would come of it? In the end, only City Lord Qiao would benefit, and it had nothing to do with them at all. They might even bring about their own demise over the distribution of benefits.

“Elder Lu, what do you mean by this!” The remaining martial artists panicked. Elder Lu, being a powerful figure at the Sixth Level of the Earth Martial Realm, was also a key player in killing Yang Chen.

“I advise everyone to retreat quickly. Master Yang is right. Continuing on this path serves us no good. I’ve already seen through it and will leave first.” Elder Lu didn’t waste any more words.

He wanted to quickly leave this troublesome place. After all, the longer he stayed, the more involved he would become.

Seeing Elder Lu leaving, the remaining few individuals, whether or not they could understand the pros and cons of what Yang Chen said, at least saw Elder Lu’s choice. People are strange creatures – they always feel that someone else’s choice is the right one, and they follow that choice.

Elder Lu made the first choice; the martial artists below looked at each other, and then left, casting fearful glances at Yang Chen before turning their backs.

Not much time had passed when the news of Fu Yunhe’s death spread rapidly. The spread was partly due to Yang Chen’s deliberate actions and Elder Lu and the others telling their close friends.

As a result, Fu Yunhe’s subordinates became agitated, and their understanding of the situation changed altogether. Many of them, upon realizing Fu Yunhe was dead and considering their current predicament, did not hesitate to leave immediately.

Once someone took the lead, others followed suit.

None of Fu Yunhe’s subordinates sought revenge for him, and in just about half an hour, when the news of his death had spread completely, they all fled.

They were not stupid; they knew that leaving now was the best choice. Whether they stayed with Yang Chen’s Luosheng Gate or followed City Lord Qiao, neither outcome would be good. It would be better for them to leave now; neither Yang Chen nor City Lord Qiao had the time to concern themselves with their decisions.

Yang Chen had never intended to go after those under Fu Yunhe’s command. Having them leave was the most critical part of his current plan. Since only now, in a certain sense, their forces had genuinely taken shape.

Of course, even so, the odds of winning were not large. Just now, Zhou Qing’s subordinates had suffered heavy losses, with more than ten dead and the remaining martial artists wounded and battered.

Although City Lord Qiao’s martial artists also had casualties, they were not Fu Yunhe’s subordinates in the end. City Lord Qiao’s fighters were the elites carefully cultivated by him, not too different from those under Zhou Qing’s command.

“Sect Leader, what should we do next?”

“Yes, Sect Leader, what should we do?”

With the exception of Zhou Qing and City Lord Qiao, who were engaged in a battle that no one else dared to interfere in, Yang Chen’s men and City Lord Qiao’s men had reached a stalemate.

Yang Chen looked at the people under City Lord Qiao and furrowed his eyebrows. No matter how he looked at it, City Lord Qiao’s men had the advantage, while their own side was at a disadvantage.

“Senior Yun Lu, are you and the other Fishmen prepared?” Yang Chen asked through a soul transmission.

“Young Master, almost. This Great Formation created by Fu Yunhe is called the Extermination Tree Array. It’s made from the essence of a ten-thousand-year-old ancient tree. Once activated, the seeds buried underground by the array will instantly transform into tree branches and vines, strangling the enemy. It’s very powerful and has complicated steps to convert. If we want to change this Great Formation into something we own, it will take some time. Please give us the time it takes for a cup of tea,” several Elders of the Fishman Tribe replied through a sound transmission.

In fact, Fu Yunhe had set up the Great Formation within Luosheng Gate before Yang Chen left.

The Great Formation was secretly set up, and ordinary people couldn’t detect it. Yang Chen only found out through the Holy Ants.

Originally, Yang Chen thought that Fu Yunhe intended to use the Array to kill him, but later he discovered that was not the case. If Fu Yunhe’s real goal was to kill Yang Chen with the Array, there would be no need to invite City Lord Qiao.

If Yang Chen guessed correctly, Fu Yunhe’s real intention was to kill him and then use the Array to eliminate City Lord Qiao, ultimately taking control of Hurricane City.

That was Fu Yunhe’s true ambition.

That’s why Fu Yunhe didn’t activate the Array when the fight began. He was waiting for the most critical moment to confront City Lord Qiao. Unfortunately, Fu Yunhe didn’t get the chance to activate the Array, and even if he had the chance now, he couldn’t do it anymore.

Yang Chen dared to enter Luosheng Gate because he had his reasons. As soon as he entered, he secretly sent the Fishmen’s formation masters to find the Formation Eye and then paralyzed the formation instantly. This way, Fu Yunhe couldn’t activate the Array.

Of course, neither could he.

So the Fishmen needed time to modify and change the prohibitions, turning the Array into something under his control!

This was one of Yang Chen’s trump cards in this battle, but unfortunately, the process took a bit of time.

“The time for a cup of tea… Alright, let’s stall for one more cup of tea. I’m curious as to how powerful this Extermination Tree Array really is!” Yang Chen muttered to himself.

With that thought in mind, he instructed the Luosheng Gate martial artists around him, saying, “Everyone, although you’re battered and bruised right now, trust me, if you can hold on for just the time it takes for a cup of tea, you can achieve total victory!”

“Sect Leader, whether you’re comforting us or not, since Vice Sect Leader Zhou Qing follows you, we have absolute faith in you!”

“That’s right, this Mr. Qiao is not a good person, he’s always wanted to swallow our Luosheng Gate. We won’t let him get away with it!”

“Let’s fight it out!”

Yang Chen saw that these people were also fired up and nodded, “Very good, let’s fight it out!”

After their discussion, the result for City Lord Qiao’s men emerged as well.

“You little brat surnamed Yang, when you took over as Sect Leader, we accompanied City Lord Qiao in watching you. Having such strength at such a young age, if we leave you alive, wouldn’t you be a threat to Hurricane City? City Lord Qiao is right; we must kill you first. Attack, just be careful of that kid’s gourd!” A martial artist at the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, from City Lord Qiao’s side, yelled.
