Everyone showed a face of shock and looked up.

They saw a king-level expert in the sky, dressed in a blood-red robe, with white hair cascading over his shoulders, his face stern, and his eyes flickering with a peculiar glow.

This person was none other than the Blood Saber King, who had bought the Bone of Netherworld Beast.

His gaze was fixed on Master Yu and Zhao Letian, seemingly with malicious intent.

"Sword King jests. With my humble strength, how dare I contend with a king-level expert? However, I do not believe I have offended the Sword King, have I?"

Master Yu furrowed his brow slightly, forcing a smile onto his face.

In the presence of a king-level expert, even as a half-step King, he must be respectful.

For although he was only half a step away from the king level, that half step was like the difference between heaven and earth, insurmountable.

"You indeed have not offended me; otherwise, you wouldn't be able to stand alive in front of me. My target is not you, but this young man. Have him present his storage ring to me and I will let you leave this place alive. If not, this time next year will be the anniversary of your deaths."

Blood Saber King said with a cold smirk, not taking it seriously.

Though he still had plenty of life years, he was very interested in Zhao Letian's Life Extension Pills, hence why he aimed to seize Zhao Letian's storage ring.

Zhao Letian was frustrated. He hadn't expected that a king-level expert in the Dark Demon Domain would so bluntly disregard the dignity and face of a strong man and directly attempt to rob him, a mere person of the True Martial Realm, of his storage ring in public.

"Boom!" Always

As he spoke, a strange, blood-colored light burst forth from Blood Saber King's body. Like a storm, it swept around at a terrifying speed, soon enveloping everyone present in a bloody domain.

Those within felt their complexions change drastically, as if their lives were no longer in their own control; it seemed that just at a thought from the Blood Saber King, they would all fall there and then.

"Will! This is the power of will of a king-level expert!"

Someone couldn't help but cry out in alarm.

This horrible blood-colored force had surpassed the height attainable by one at the Sect Martial Realm. It was, indeed, the King's Will.

Within the territory of Will, all martial artists must submit to the will of the king.

"Will?"

Zhao Letian was inwardly shocked.

The King's Will was too distant for him, with realms like the Unity of Heaven and Man, among others, lying in between.

"This is the power of a king-level. Though so close, it still feels unreachably far. Without comprehending my own power of will, I cannot become a king-level expert."

Master Yu's eyes were sparkling with complex emotions.

In front of the King's Will, even as a so-called half-step king, he was still as insignificant as an ant, and the Blood Saber King could easily kill him with just a thought.

"What? Were my words not clear enough? Do you want me to repeat them?"

Blood Saber King said coldly.

"Sword King, I am an elder of the Dan Pavilion of Dajin Country, a third-level alchemist. Could you grant me some face and not make things difficult for this young man? Consider it a favor you can hold over me."

Master Yu said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Letian couldn't help but feel warm inside.

According to the original agreement between him and Master Yu, Master Yu would only intervene within what was within his power.

Faced with a King-level Expert, such a formidable opponent who cannot be resisted, Master Yu actually had no obligation to help him.

However, Master Yu still wanted to seize an opportunity for him, which could be said to be extremely righteous.

"Dan Pavilion Elder? A third-grade Alchemist?"

Everyone looked towards Master Yu with faces full of shock.

The identity of a third-grade Alchemist was even more astonishing than that of a half-step King, comparable to a King-level Expert.

"Master Yu, right? I've long heard of your great name. Unfortunately, I practice the Blood Dao Technique, and the elixirs I need, I'm afraid you cannot refine. What use do I have for your favor? Stop the nonsense. I'll give you one last chance. Let the kid hand over the storage ring, otherwise, you'll die alongside him."

Blood Saber King said coldly, unconcerned.

Zhao Letian felt a sudden sinking in his heart. If even Master Yu could not stop the Blood Saber King, he might have no choice but to take out Elder Mo's token to save his life.

But he couldn't be sure if merely the strand of Divine Soul Power left in the token by Elder Mo could truly fend off the Blood Saber King, after all, Elder Mo was also just a King-level Expert.

"If that's the case, then the elder can do no more. Scorpion King, I have no choice but to ask you for a favor. Stop Blood Saber King and other King-level Experts tonight, and the favor you owe me will be written off."

Master Yu said helplessly with a smile, speaking out loud.

The Scorpion King Mansion was right beside them; surely the Scorpion King could hear his voice.

Moreover, he knew that those coveting the Life Extension Pill were not limited to the Blood Saber King alone. There should be other King-level Experts lurking in the dark, and only the Scorpion King could stop them.

"Fine, you need not worry about those above the King level, but for those below the King level, you must rely on yourselves. They are not worthy of my intervention."

The Scorpion King's voice immediately echoed, followed by him, clad in a black robe and wearing a ghost-face mask, stepping out of the Scorpion King Mansion, descending above the crowd, and facing the Blood Saber King directly.

"Boom!"

The moment the Scorpion King halted, a bizarre green light suddenly burst forth from him, powerfully displacing the Blood Saber King's red willpower, forcefully occupying half of the sky.

"Scorpion King, do you truly wish to stop me?"

Blood Saber King's face darkened, staring intently at the Scorpion King, and in the depths of his eyes, a hint of wariness could be seen.

"Leave. With me here, you won't stand a chance."

The Scorpion King said indifferently.

This statement was meant for the Blood Saber King, as well as other King-level Experts hiding in the shadows.

"Fine, I'll give you this respect today. You may protect him for now, but you cannot protect him for a lifetime."

The Blood Saber King glanced over, pondered for a moment, then coldly smiled, looked deeply at Zhao Letian, withdrew his Power of Will, transformed into a stream of light at an astonishing speed, and quickly disappeared into the distant horizon.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."

No sooner had the Blood Saber King left than several streaks of light, nearly as fast, broke through the air one after another.

Clearly, these individuals were also powerful King-level Experts.

"Alright, there are no more King-level Experts here now. Your debt of gratitude has been repaid."

The Scorpion King said indifferently, turned around, and walked back to the Scorpion King Mansion, without paying any mind to the various forces still surrounding Zhao Letian and his companion.

He agreed to intervene solely to repay the favor owed to Master Yu, without any concern for the life or death of Master Yu and Zhao Letian.
