Chapter 465: Chapter 461: Trapping and Killing a King Martial Realm Expert

Two figures, one following the other, left the territory where Ye City was located.

At first, Golden Roc King was worried that he might reveal himself to King Xingyun, or be discovered by Xiao Ye, so he cast a secret technique and hid within dark clouds to conceal his form, not daring to get too close to Xiao Ye.

This time, Xiao Ye ventured out of Ye City alone, and Golden Roc had made up his mind; he was determined to kill Xiao Ye.

And Xiao Ye seemed truly unaware of him, flying toward a sparsely populated area, which made Golden Roc King sneer repeatedly.

"Xiao Ye, there is a path to heaven you did not take, and no door to hell yet you break in. You are really seeking your own death, heh heh," Golden Roc King’s narrow eyes slightly squinted, a cold and disdainful light shining within them.

Of course, he had also considered that this might be a trap by Xiao Ye, but thinking of the latter’s Cultivation, which was merely at the Void Martial Realm, even if he was the first among the young generation in the Four Great States, he couldn’t possibly contend against him.

Moreover, he had been checking his surroundings and found that within a hundred miles, there was not a single King Martial Realm expert present, so he let his guard down.

In the face of absolute power, any scheme was useless. In fact, Golden Roc King even deliberately slowed down, ready to find the best opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Xiao Ye.

"Hmph, so you have followed indeed?" Xiao Ye glanced behind and revealed a trace of cold smile on his face.

Since he had fully comprehended the Void Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills, his Cultivation had not increased at all, but he had undergone a great change; whether it was his sight or his sense of smell, both had become extremely sensitive, able to detect the slightest changes.

Thus, even though Golden Roc King was very cautious, he was still discovered by Xiao Ye.

At this time, the only one who would dare to track him was Golden Roc King, Xiao Ye could not imagine anyone else.

"Hmph, Golden Roc King must be feeling very smug right now, but soon you will see who the real prey is." Xiao Ye stroked Little White’s head and accelerated to the extreme.

With their Cultivations, both could move incredibly fast, and in just two hours, they had already reached the outer edges of Xingyun Kingdom.

Before Xiao Ye’s eyes lay a sprawling forest stretching tens of thousands of miles, brimming with green vitality, majestic trees reaching for the heavens, blocking out the sun, wild and primitive energies confronted him.

This vast forest was famous in Xingyun Kingdom, situated between two Kingdoms, where battles often occurred, and countless powerful martial artists from both nations lay buried.

Hence its name, the Heroic Soul Forest.

"Little White, is it here?" Xiao Ye looked at the vast forest before him, his face filled with astonishment.

He had long heard of the Heroic Soul Forest, but this was his first time seeing it.

Indeed, it was a perfect place for Ferocious Beasts to hide.

"Woo woo!" Little White heard Xiao Ye’s words and nodded its small head, then leaped from Xiao Ye’s shoulder and flew towards the forest.

Xiao Ye swept a casual glance at his back, then followed.

"What is this kid doing in the Heroic Soul Forest?" Golden Roc King was puzzled, "But since it’s usually deserted here, it’s a good place to make a move."

A fierce smirk appeared upon Golden Roc King’s face, and he no longer hid his presence, openly appearing and stepped boldly towards the forest.

After entering the Heroic Soul Forest, Xiao Ye slowed down, stopped in a clearing, and sat cross-legged, actively waiting for Golden Roc King’s arrival.

In just a few dozen breaths of time, Golden Roc King arrived, alighting on a towering tree, his sharp gaze piercing through the void onto Xiao Ye.

"What is this kid doing? Is he Cultivating?" Golden Roc King was even more surprised, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Just then, a faint voice came, "Senior Golden Roc King, this forest is known as Heroic Soul, a resting place for many strong souls. Do you like the grave I picked for you?"

The next moment, Golden Roc King saw Xiao Ye turn around, smiling at him.

"What!"

Golden Roc King was taken aback; it turned out that Xiao Ye had already detected him.

Immediately afterward, Golden Roc King was consumed by a towering rage. A mere youngster from the Void Martial Realm daring to be so arrogant as to pick out a grave for him was utterly preposterous.

"Xiao Ye, you are on the brink of death and still dare to be so insolent!" Golden Roc King stepped out from the void, and as soon as his words fell, he attacked, a palm crossing the heavens, suppressing the void, where the massive suppression of the King Martial Realm roared and surged through space, stirring for three thousand miles.

From a distance, a huge sky-covering palm pressed towards Xiao Ye.

Yet Xiao Ye remained calm and composed, standing in place, allowing that sky-covering palm to come crashing down.

Boom crack!

After a thunderous noise, the ground caved in, and Xiao Ye’s figure slowly disappeared from the spot, causing Golden Roc King to be stunned.

An avatar?

Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s figure reappeared a hundred paces away, having used an avatar to dodge Golden Roc King’s attack.

"Hmph, I did not expect that you would have learned the supreme escape secret technique of the South State Dynasty. But just by using that technique, you cannot hope to avoid my pursuit."

"Xiao Ye, meet your death."

Golden Roc King spoke, then stepped into the air towards Xiao Ye, his golden robe billowing, a torrential killing intent firmly locking onto Xiao Ye.

"Senior Golden Roc King, sorry, but your opponent is not me right now, please enjoy the big gift I’ve prepared for you," Xiao Ye said indifferently.

No sooner had his voice fallen, than a fierce gust of wind howled, and a robust shadow like lightning pounced towards the Golden Roc King from the side, its sharp claws ripping through the Golden Roc King’s robe, narrowly missing his body.

"Ferocious Beast?" The Golden Roc King rose into the sky, his eyes flashing with a bone-chilling glint.

There was a Ferocious Beast with blue fur hovering in mid-air, its terrifying fangs glinting with a cold light.

"Hmph, a mere Virtual Martial Ninth Level Ferocious Beast dares to challenge me? Xiao Ye, you are too naive, no matter what, today you must die!"

The Golden Roc King roared in anger, ready to attack, when suddenly a wild wind arose from the forest, the earth trembled, and one after another, massive beasts the size of small hills, came out of the forest, knocking down all the towering trees in their path.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

...

These Ferocious Beasts bellowed into the sky, emitting earth-shaking roars, as if following some command, their fierce gazes fixed intently on the Golden Roc King.

In an instant, the Golden Roc King found himself surrounded, and over a hundred winged Ferocious Beasts soared across the sky, converging above the Golden Roc King’s head, casting long shadows.

At a glance, there were certainly more than a thousand beasts, each one emitting a savage aura, converging together as if a vast world was pressing down.

"This..." The Golden Roc King was stunned, his face turning pale.

He had finally realized what the big gift Xiao Ye was talking about was.

A single Virtual Martial Ninth Level Ferocious Beast, he could easily kill in a second, but if a thousand beasts surged over at once, even if he were a King Martial Realm Expert, he could be seriously injured if careless.

Not to mention his Cultivation had only reached the King Martial Realm not long ago.

And among these thousand beasts, there were at least ten that reached the Half-step King Martial Realm, which was truly terrifying.

"Little Bastard, you’re setting me up!"

The Golden Roc King, though slow, now understood, Xiao Ye had deliberately lured him here, anger making him almost spew blood.

Someone had set a trap, and he had foolishly jumped right into it.

Thinking about it, the Golden Roc King felt regretful to his guts; he had had many chances to attack along the way, but was deliberately led by Xiao Ye to the Heroic Soul Forest, now it was hard to escape.

Now he had no time to ponder why these Ferocious Beasts followed Xiao Ye’s command; he was thinking of ways to escape quickly.

"Hmph, you used treacherous schemes to harm the martial artists of the Ye Alliance, you should have known this day would come, even if you are a King Martial Realm Expert, I, Xiao Ye, have ways to kill you!" Xiao Ye said with a cold voice.

In fact, he was also shocked; the array of Ferocious Beasts that Little White had brought out was simply too outrageous, for the Golden Roc King not to die would be difficult.

"But if you’re willing to reveal the reason you attacked me, I might consider letting you live," Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered sharply, speaking slowly.

"Little Bastard, don’t get cocky, you think these Ferocious Beasts can kill me? You’re too naive, today I’ll show you just how fearsome the King Martial Realm is!"

The Golden Roc King roared, his hair wild in the wind, his body erupting with a terrifying, overwhelming aura that swept out like a tide, and then a profoundly terrifying ’Grotto Heaven’ slowly rose behind him.

This ’Grotto Heaven’ was completely different from that of the Void Martial Realm; it was full of Spiritual energy, like a Divine world, exhaling endless rays of light, making the entire forest glow with colorful radiance.

"King Realm!" Xiao Ye’s expression became solemn.

Void Martial Realm martial artists could create Grotto Heavens, while King Martial Realm Experts could transform their Grotto Heavens into King Realms, and even evolve them into entire worlds, containing Heaven and Earth, providing a sanctuary for martial artists to enter.

That is the fundamental basis making the King Martial Realm far superior to the Void Martial Realm; one could say the King Realm is an advanced version of the Grotto Heaven.

"DIE, all of you!" A loud roar from the Golden Roc King, bearing the King Realm, his palms like long knives, lunged towards the Ferocious Beasts ahead.

Under Little White’s control, the over thousand Ferocious Beasts, with no hint of retreat, charged at the Golden Roc King as well.

A fierce battle broke out, Xiao Ye rose into the sky, watching the fight unfold from midair.

Although there were a thousand Ferocious Beasts from the Void Martial Realm, Xiao Ye was not at all certain if they could kill the Golden Roc King of the King Martial Realm.

Boom!

The Golden Roc King’s palms struck out, sweeping away the beasts in front of him like falling leaves with a flick of his hand.

Then he raised his index finger, and beams of dazzling Sword Light shot out from his fingertip, piercing through bodies of the beasts like torrential rain.

"King Martial Realm Experts are indeed powerful; even if these Ferocious Beasts truly can’t stop you, today I, Xiao Ye, will still kill you!" Xiao Ye spoke coldly.

Coincidentally, he had completely comprehended the Void Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills, and was eager to test his newfound strength.
