Chapter 953: Chapter 947: Deciding the Outcome

Bang, bang, bang!

Under the cover of the Heavenly God Giant Cauldron, Emperor Zhanhu was also shocked. He hurriedly launched an attack, yet no matter how ferociously he struck, the giant cauldron trapping him remained unmoved.

This enormous cauldron descended with unstoppable force. It was a powerful magical skill that Ye Xuan had mastered in his previous life. Although his current strength was far inferior to that of his past life, trapping a Sealing Emperor Strong Person was clearly not a difficult task.

“What a powerful technique!”

Nearby, the observing strong individuals were shocked. A formidable fighter like Emperor Zhanhu was being suppressed by Ye Xuan’s peculiar method and couldn’t move at all.

“You think you can trap me with this?”

Emperor Zhanhu’s expression was gloomy as he roared skyward. The Light Tiger on him surged fiercely, savagely pounding on the walls of the surrounding cauldron.

In response, Ye Xuan’s eyes remained indifferent. His hands flashed as he performed a Sealing, eventually forming a rather strange seal. By then, the thunderclouds also started to writhe, and the crowd witnessed in astonishment as countless Thunder Snakes darted out, forming an ancient city several thousand feet wide beneath the thunderclouds.

“Divine Skill, Thunder City.” As Ye Xuan’s words fell, extreme and shocking waves of energy emanated from the ancient city formed by thunder.

“This kind of wave…”

The strong individuals watching the massive thunder-built city had a sudden change in expression. This method was indeed ruthless and terrifying.

“Roar!”

Emperor Zhanhu evidently sensed danger and his expression changed dramatically. His furious roar made the overwhelming black light surge even more violently, causing the giant cauldron to wobble under such fierce attack, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

“Go!”

In Ye Xuan’s jet-black eyes, a cold flash appeared. As his hand wielded down, the thunderous giant city crashed down, descending straight from the sky. Everyone only saw a flash of lightning, and then heard the giant tiger let out a shrill roar.

Hiss hiss.

Dazzling thunder light erupted from the giant tiger’s body. That terrifying force directly slammed it into the ground, causing the earth to collapse and reveal a huge crater. In that pit lay a battered figure, whose previously strong aura had now dwindled greatly.

A single move decided the outcome.

The crowd watched Emperor Zhanhu, who was instantly defeated, with a serious gaze. Their looks turned towards the young figure in the sky, where disdain gave way to solemn respect.

“How is this possible?”

Up to his moment of defeat, Emperor Zhanhu still couldn’t believe he lost to Ye Xuan.

“Emperor Zhanhu, considering you have been a hero in your own domain, let’s forget about today. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so lucky.”

Ye Xuan looked coldly at Emperor Zhanhu, his eyes showing indifference.

Upon hearing these words, Emperor Zhanhu’s face turned extremely grim. If it were before, he would have lost control by now, but he had experienced Ye Xuan’s methods firsthand. Just now, in peak condition, he was no match for Ye Xuan, let alone now while severely injured.

“Let’s go.”

Ye Xuan waved to Ling Qianxue, then moved, disappearing into the distance of the water pool.

“Damn it!”

Only after Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue were far away did Emperor Zhanhu punch the nearby pool with fury, causing water and splashes everywhere, and creating a large pit in the ground.

At this time, over ten figures emerged continuously from the forest. These were clearly strong members of the Heavenly Tiger Association, who hadn’t shown themselves during the battle but now stepped forward as it ended.

“Lord Emperor Zhanhu, that boy is just too arrogant. If Lord Heavenly Tiger were here, how could he be so rampant?” said an Extreme Martial Saint from the Heavenly Tiger Association coldly.

“What nonsense! How could that boy possibly be a match for Lord Emperor Zhanhu? It was a fluke due to our lord’s moment of carelessness. Next time we meet, we will surely spill his blood on the spot!” another strong person from the Heavenly Tiger Association chimed in.

“Enough!”

Emperor Zhanhu glanced at the two with eyes gleaming coldly, sweeping them away with such force that they coughed blood and flew out.

Then, he looked towards the direction Ye Xuan had left, and said in a deep voice, “I am indeed no match for that boy, but today’s matter will not end here. I, Emperor Zhanhu, cannot be humiliated by a mere boy. Next time we meet, I will find a way to eliminate him.”

This day’s defeat was a great humiliation for him. Only by killing Ye Xuan, by any means necessary, could he cleanse this shame.

“Rest assured, Lord Emperor Zhanhu, the Netherworld Ghost Cave is vast, there will surely be another chance,” a member of the Heavenly Tiger Association quickly said.

“Hmph!”

Murderous intent flashed across Emperor Zhanhu’s eyes. Before that, however, he needed to find a place to heal first.

…

At this moment, Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue had already distanced themselves from the forest. They continued south, and with Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Eye, he could clearly see the flow of Netherworld Energy. All the sources of the Netherworld Energy undoubtedly indicated the correct direction.

“That Emperor Zhanhu doesn’t seem like a forgiving person. You might as well have slain him with one strike just now, to prevent creating a future threat.”

In mid-air, Ling Qianxue spoke to Ye Xuan.

“There were too many eyes just now. Killing Emperor Zhanhu would undeniably spread widely. He has been operating in the Western World for many years and is the leader of the Heavenly Tiger Association with broad connections. If we kill him, I’m worried it will spark considerable trouble and be detrimental to Light City.”

Ye Xuan shook his head. He would not hesitate to strike when necessary, but just now wasn’t necessarily the time to do so. “Moreover, a Sealing Emperor Strong Person, I can’t guarantee he wouldn’t have some trump card in a critical moment.”

Sealing Emperor Strong People aren’t so easy to kill. Ye Xuan is confident in defeating Emperor Zhanhu, but not so in killing him.

“What you say makes sense. Anyway, we’d better be cautious. Many still target us in this Netherworld Ghost Cave.”

“Don’t worry. With the Heavenly Eye, they won’t pull any tricks.”

Ye Xuan knew that Emperor Zhanhu wasn’t their biggest enemy. It was actually the people from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace who were ready to bite them secretly at any moment. However, Ye Xuan wasn’t afraid of these underhanded attacks. His Heavenly Eye could see through all dark shadows. Ordinary people in this Netherworld Ghost Cave are like blind men, unable to see or feel anything. Even Sealing Emperor Strong People’s sensing range is greatly limited, but Ye Xuan is different. Nothing can escape his eyes within ten thousand miles, so any sneaky tricks are futile against him.
