Chen Zhong was a Town Elder of a medium-sized faction. Although he wasn't on the same level as the Senjin Of Goguryeo, he was still a Peak Divine King. His strength was naturally unquestionable.
Previously, he had spent Heavy Crystals to exchange for a Divine Scroll in the black market. That Divine Scroll had a restriction that even a Peak Divine King couldn't open. It wasn't that easy to open.
He didn't believe it. He felt that there would definitely be records of a high-level divine art inside. He felt that he had the ability to open the restriction. When the time came, it would give him a powerful divine art. It would also give his Chen Family a stronger foundation.
However, before he could open the restriction, he was targeted by someone.
Ma Ying's Roving Bandits was a faction that was second only to the Bloodthirsty and the Fierce Bandits in the Chaotic Ridge. Ma Ying was also a high-level Divine King. He also had twenty to thirty Divine Kings of different levels.
When Chen Zhong left the black market, Ma Ying and the others immediately chased after Chen Zhong. They asked Chen Zhong for the Divine Scroll.
Others might not know who had auctioned the Divine Scroll in the black market. However, Ma Ying would definitely know. This was because he was the one who had obtained the Divine Scroll. He was also the one who had auctioned it in the black market.
He had obtained the Divine Crystals from the auction. However, he didn't want the Divine Scroll to be lost. Therefore, he planned to steal it back. His plan was really good.
However, Chen Zhong wasn't easy to deal with. He also had three Divine Kings with him.
Under the encirclement of Ma Ying and the others, Chen Zhong was still able to break through and escape.
However, he was also severely injured. He had to find a place to recover as soon as possible.
However, the Chaotic Ridge was the territory of the Roving Bandits. They didn't give him much time to recover. They chased after him again.
After a series of fierce battles, Chen Zhong's divine body was severely injured. If it wasn't for his outstanding strength, he would have been killed long ago.
However, misfortune never comes alone. Just when he thought he had gotten rid of Ma Ying's Roving Bandits, he encountered the six silver snakes of the Snake Righteous Sect.
Now, he was surrounded by the six silver snakes.
Among the six silver snakes, the strongest was Gamma Aurigae. He was a Peak Intermediate Divine King. Eleven and Twelve were Intermediate Divine Kings. and the other three were Low Divine Kings.
Logically, with Chen Zhong's strength, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with them. However, he had been continuously injured by Ma Ying and had been continuously chased after him for two months. His strength couldn't reach its peak. He could only exert 60% of his strength. He couldn't fight against the six silver snakes at all.
"Old man, if you know what's good for you, hand over the divine scroll. We'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll die here!" Gamma Aurigae stared at Chen Zhong.
Although he knew that Chen Zhong's injuries weren't light, he didn't dare to snatch it directly. He was afraid that Chen Zhong would be driven to desperate measures. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Now, Chen Zhong was in a sorry state. He held a divine sword in his hand. The protective spiritual beast he was riding was also covered in blood. There weren't many intact pieces of flesh.
Even a sick tiger still had the prestige of a king.
Chen Zhong shook the divine sword, and the sound of the sword rang out. "When a tiger falls, a sheep gets bullied by a dog. However, it won't be that easy to get my divine scroll. Ma Ying and the others couldn't stop me. Do you think you're stronger than Ma Ying and the Roving Bandits?"
"Our Snake Loyalty Sect is naturally much stronger than those Roving Bandits. Hurry up and hand over the divine scroll. Do you really want to force us to fight?" Gamma Aurigae said in a stern voice.
Chen Zhong knew that the other party was certain that his strength had declined greatly. Thus, he didn't care about anything else.
He shouted angrily, "Come and take it if you dare. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let you have it easy!"
Immediately after, Chen Zhong attacked preemptively. He planned to kill one or two of them first.
The heavy sword in Chen Zhong's hand weighed ten thousand Jin. Wherever the sword ray passed, a huge spatial crack would appear. Its destructive power was extremely shocking.
The six Silver Snakes were already prepared. They had already split into six directions. They rode their respective Silver Corrosion Snakes and attacked Chen Zhong at the same time. Not only did they block his sword attack, but they also released a terrifying corrosive poisonous gas. The gas filled the space and enveloped Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong seemed to be prepared. He had already used layers of power to isolate the corrosive poisonous gas.
However, his spiritual beast was not spared. This was the poisonous gas of the Silver Corrosion Snakes. Once it came into contact with it, it wouldn't be easy to get rid of it. Moreover, his spiritual beast was already heavily injured. It was in a worse state than him. Soon, it was poisoned into a pool of blood and a skeleton.
Chen Zhong knew that it wouldn't be easy to please them. He could only clench his teeth and say, "Damn it. In the future, I'll definitely make you pay the price!"
After saying that, he used a powerful move and rushed out of the encirclement of the six people. He shot into the distance.
"It won't be that easy to escape!" Gamma Aurigae snorted coldly. He took the lead and chased after him.
The others also caught up. Moreover, they simultaneously released their fused power. They formed a Silver Corrosion Snake and pounced at Chen Zhong.
The power of this condensed Silver Corrosion Snake was not inferior to a high-level God King's attack. The impact caused the space to distort and sway.
Chen Zhong was heavily injured. His speed was greatly reduced. He couldn't dodge so quickly. He could only clench his teeth and slash several times. Every sword strike had a divine might that could split the heavens and split the earth.
Boom! Boom!
Two powerful forces swept away everything in the surroundings.
Chen Zhong's figure was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he also wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
Three of the six Silver Snakes couldn't withstand it. However, the other three intercepted Chen Zhong in advance.
A storm of attacks blasted toward Chen Zhong.
The other three sneak-attacked at any time. They affected Chen Zhong greatly.
Chen Zhong's injuries became more and more serious. He felt that if this went on, he would really die.
"Even if I die, I'll drag a few of you down with me!" Chen Zhong was determined.
He forcefully withstood the attacks of Gamma Aurigae, Eleven, and Twelve. He raised his speed to the extreme. The heavy sword in his hand was like a sweeping army. He concentrated all his power on his sword. He slashed at the three Silver Snakes, Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen.
The heavy sword was like a mountain. It shook the space and caused it to collapse. The surrounding space kept distorting and changing shape.
Ah!
Three blood-curdling screams rang out at the same time. The three silver snakes had no way to defend themselves, and their bodies were directly crushed by the heavy sword's light. Blood splattered everywhere.
Although Chen Zhong had destroyed the bodies of the three Silver Snakes, he was also seriously injured by the other three Silver Snakes.
One of his arms was forcibly chopped off. Moreover, his body was invaded by the Corrosive Snake's poison. His skin turned black and his power rapidly decreased.
"Son of a b * tch, how dare you kill our brother. Go to hell!" Gamma Aurigae screamed in shock. He stabbed the silver dagger-axes in his hand at Chen Zhong.
The silver dagger-axes directly penetrated Chen Zhong's body. Blood splattered everywhere.
"Haha, I said that if you want to kill me, you'll have to pay the price!" Chen Zhong smiled ferociously. He ignored the pain of being stabbed and waved his heavy sword quickly.
Puff!
Gamma Aurigae's head was cut off by Chen Zhong. The headless corpse fell straight down.
"Damn it!"
Gamma Aurigae did not expect Chen Zhong to disregard everything and fight until both sides were injured. He immediately roared angrily and attacked in the direction of Chen Zhong in a frenzy.
Chen Zhong was already facing death calmly. A shield appeared in his hand. He rushed in the direction of Gamma Aurigae and Zeta Aurigae. His body also self-destructed at this moment.
Boom boom boom!
How terrifying was the power of a peak Divine King's self-destruction? It caused the air in the sky to churn far away, and the mountain ridges on the ground shook non-stop. The spiritual beasts were so frightened that they prostrated themselves and trembled.
Gamma Aurigae and Zeta Aurigae dodged it in a sorry state. They did not receive too much impact. However, there was still lingering fear in their hearts.
"Bastard, this old man actually self-destructed. My brothers' Souls have probably been destroyed. They won't even have a chance to resurrect!" Gamma Aurigae roared gloomily.
"Tenth Brother, don't say anything. Let's quickly look for our Space Rings. Otherwise, when the others rush over, the gains won't make up for the losses," Zeta Aurigae reminded.
Gamma Aurigae also knew this was the truth, so he immediately looked for the Space Rings with Gamma Aurigae.
However, when they found their brothers' Space Rings, they did not find Chen Zhong's Space Ring.
"Did you find Twelfth Brother?" Gamma Aurigae asked Zeta Aurigae.
Zeta Aurigae shook his head and said, "I didn't find him. He probably exploded too violently. I don't know which corner he flew off to. This is a big loss!"
When Chen Zhong self-destructed, his Space Ring was naturally scattered. Even if they had amazing Divine Senses, Space Rings were inanimate objects, so it was not easy to find them.
However, they still refused to give up and expanded the scope of their search.
At that moment, however, many powerful auras rushed over from afar.
Both Gamma Aurigae and Zeta Aurigae sensed the extraordinariness of these auras.
"Tenth Brother may be one of Ma Ying's people!" Zeta Aurigae said with some worry.
"Damn it, they didn't come earlier or later, they just had to come at this time. Let's go!"
Gamma Aurigae gritted his teeth and could only give up on searching for the Space Ring, leaving together with Gamma Aurigae.
Their Snake Loyalty Sect was naturally not afraid of Ma Ying's Roving Bandits, but they had already lost several of their brothers, and these Roving Bandits dared to rob them no matter what force they were from. In order to avoid trouble, they had no choice but to retreat first.
When Ma Ying and the others arrived, Gamma Aurigae and Zeta Aurigae had already hidden far away.
There were a dozen people on Ma Ying's side, all of whom were God King Realm existences.
"Boss, they've escaped!" A mid-level God King reported to Ma Ying.
Ma Ying furrowed his brows and said, "Hmm, looking at the remnants of the poisonous gas, it should be those silver snakes from the Righteous Snake Sect. However, I don't know if they were fighting that old man."
Saying so, he closed his eyes and sensed the remaining auras in this world.
After a while, he coldly snorted and said, "Chen Zhong is actually dead. I'm afraid the Spirit Scroll has fallen into the hands of the Snake Loyalty Sect's Silver Snakes. Let's quickly chase after them!"
Once one reached the God King Realm, they would have various Divine Abilities. A battle had just occurred here, but Ma Ying could rely on the residual auras to deduce the situation of the battle that had just occurred here.
Saying so, their group hurriedly chased after the Gamma Aurigae and Zeta Aurigae.
