The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 2661: Chapter 2657: Win More Decisively_1

After all, Gao Menhu’s strength was evident to everyone, and anyone who dared to challenge Gao Menhu would be considered mad by anyone. This young man named Yang Chen was perceived as such.

No matter what kind of background Yang Chen had, in their eyes, Gao Menhu was invincible. From beginning to end, Gao Menhu had almost always been undefeated.

While fighting the Netherworld Ghosts in the Extreme Yin Land, Gao Menhu earned an impressive war record. As a commander, he was victorious in many battles.

Furthermore, as a direct disciple of King Shenhe, both his status and strength represented that Gao Menhu was a lofty and proud Imperial Scion.

Challenging such a man─how could there be any chance of victory?

The news spread quickly, and more people thought that this so-called Yang Chen was nothing more than a clown seeking attention.

Over the years, there had been quite a few individuals who attempted to challenge Gao Menhu, hoping to rise to prominence, but ultimately, every one of them met a tragic end.

Gao Menhu was known for his swift and decisive victories, usually defeating his enemies in one move, rarely prolonging a battle.

When he won, Gao Menhu often left behind an invincible figure revered by others.

The outside world’s discussions grew louder, and Yang Chen’s name spread far and wide. However, most people believed that Yang Chen was challenging Gao Menhu purely for fame.

Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention to all this.

In his eyes, cultivation was far more important.

After all, venturing to the Extreme Yin Land was bound to bring numerous dangers, and traversing that place was even more difficult to say the least.

No one in history had ever succeeded in reaching the Extreme Yin Land, and Yang Chen was not arrogant enough to think that he would be the first one to reach the Nirvana Stage during his journey.

Therefore, in the next few days, he must strive to enhance his own abilities.

He had already completely mastered the Domain of Earth.

In addition to that, he had been refining the Origin of Strange Fire.

This round of refining allowed Yang Chen’s Dao Intent Inscriptions to grow in quantity, with over a hundred more Fire Dao Intent Inscriptions added.

However, the total number of Dao Intent Inscriptions only increased to 20,800.

Yang Chen didn’t have enough time to make further progress since there were only seven days before Xue Ruyi visited him again.

Yang Chen knew that it must be because Gao Menhu had been called back by King Shenhe.

When she arrived, Xue Ruyi quickly approached and gently spoke, “Yang Chen, Gao Menhu has already arrived. You should also prepare. The location of your battle will be at the Shock Dragon Platform. Many powerful people will be witnessing it, and it’s not too late for you to back down. You have gained a lot of merits and fame recently, but there’s no need to take on Gao Menhu and risk losing. Losing the battle would bring no benefit to you.”

Seeing Xue Ruyi concerned about him, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile and replied, “Miss Xue, I appreciate your kindness, but I must go to the Extreme Yin Land.”

Xue Ruyi saw that Yang Chen was not taking her advice, and for the first time, she didn’t get angry. Instead, she sighed with mixed emotions, thinking that Yang Chen’s wife was a very lucky woman to have such a caring and ideal husband like Yang Chen, who was always worried and concerned about her.

Yang Chen then spoke, “Alright, let’s go.”

Xue Ruyi no longer tried to persuade him, and led Yang Chen to the Shock Dragon Platform.

As they moved along, many people saw them and began to chatter.

“It’s Miss Xue Ruyi.”

“I heard that the young man beside Miss Xue is Yang Chen, the one who wants to challenge Gao Menhu.”

“Challenging Commander Gao? It’s been a while since there was such a clown. I can’t believe Commander Gao actually agreed.”

“Maybe this person’s strength isn’t bad, after all, not many people can make Commander Gao agree to their challenge.”

Yang Chen listened to the countless discussions around him with an indifferent expression as his eyes remained closed.

His only goal at the moment was to defeat Gao Menhu and earn the qualifications to venture into the Extreme Yin Land.

Seeing how calm Yang Chen was, Xue Ruyi found it harder to see through him. In her eyes, Yang Chen only had about fifteen or sixteen thousand Dao Intent Inscriptions, similar to herself.

Although formidable, when compared to Gao Menhu, Yang Chen was still a little weaker.

In no time, the two flew together and soon arrived at the Shock Dragon Platform.

During their journey, Yang Chen asked a few questions about the platform.

The Shock Dragon Platform was a grand ring, usually used for the Central Camp’s martial exercises. However, today it had been specifically arranged for the showdown between Yang Chen and Gao Menhu.

At the moment, the area around the entire Shock Dragon Platform was filled with people. The guards at the outermost circle were Enlightenment Stage practitioners, while the Powerful Ones within the Inner Area were Nirvana Stage fighters. As for the Mahayana Stage Deacons and Boundaryless Stage Elders, they sat at the front.

These powerful individuals would be the spectators today.

Though there weren’t many spectators, they were undoubtedly high-quality figures with special status, which was why they were allowed to be present.

As Yang Chen and Xue Ruyi arrived, they attracted a lot of attention.

“Yang Chen has arrived.”

“He’s actually here? Is he really challenging Gao Menhu?”

“This doesn’t seem like a wise choice.”

Yang Chen and Xue Ruyi’s arrival caused quite a stir.

Among the crowd, King Shenhe was sitting at the highest point, his powerful presence commanding respect.

At his side, sat a handsome young man who seemed to be a relatively new cultivator but possessed an astonishing amount of power.

Not only had his cultivation reached the Nirvana Stage, but a fierce energy also radiated from him, suggesting that he was no ordinary Nirvana Stage practitioner.

It wasn’t hard to guess that this man was indeed Gao Menhu.

Only Gao Menhu, as King Shenhe’s direct disciple, was qualified to sit beside him.

“That’s Yang Chen,” King Shenhe mentioned.

Gao Menhu nodded, “Master, is it necessary for me to make a move just to evaluate a person?”

“This man is quite interesting. Although he is not as talented as you, he is still a rare genius. His accomplishments speak for his abilities; they require not only strength but also sufficient wisdom and flexibility in handling situations. It shows that this kid excels in many aspects and is more mature than other so-called geniuses,” said King Shenhe as he rubbed his eyebrows. “However, he is foolishly persistent in going to the Extreme Yin Land and seeking death. It would be a pity if he really dies. My original intention was to lure him into this trap and make him lose willingly so he would abandon the idea of going to the northern region. Talents like him are quite useful on the battlefield, so you must be serious and defeat him decisively.”
