Chapter 1609 - 1606: Wang Chao vs. Wu Badao!
Chapter 1609 - 1606: Wang Chao vs. Wu Badao!
Wu Badao’s hair flew wildly as he glared with bloodshot eyes, looking first at Li Chen, then at the imposing Wang Chao.
"Wang Chao, what are you doing, trying to rebel?"
Wang Chao shook his head, responding, "Today I raise troops not to rebel, but to restore the rightful name of the Hidden King!"
The Hidden King refers to Wu Badao’s elder brother, who was previously conferred the title of Brave King. However, after failing to seize the throne, he was renamed Hidden King by Wu Badao.
As the name implies, it means to have him hide away forever, to disappear completely.
Wu Badao was furious when Wang Chao brought up those unbearable past events.
"Wang Chao, your words are as good as a song. I think your Wang Family has long harbored treacherous intentions!"
Seeing Wu Badao speak so openly, Wang Chao no longer tried to conceal his intentions.
"Wu Badao, you murdered your father and are unfilial, killed your brother for the throne and are disloyal, cruelly annihilated your brother’s entire family and are unrighteous. Causing the people to suffer is unkind!"
"Wu Badao, you are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous. Your evil deeds are unbearable. Today, I am merely enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens, eliminating you, the tyrant, and restoring a clear and bright world!"
Seeing Wang Chao reveal his fierce appearance, Wu Badao’s anger turned to laughter.
"Haha, Wang Chao. Spare me your talk of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. In this Great Wu Dynasty, I, the King, am the heavens!"
After saying that, Wu Badao no longer paid any attention to Wang Chao, but instead turned his gaze to Li Chen.
"Li Chen, the person you are looking for is currently in the rear hall. If anything happens to me, I guarantee that the Azure Cloud Fairy will accompany me in death!"
Upon hearing Wu Badao’s words, a chill of murderous intent immediately appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.
"If anything happens to Wanwan, everyone in the Wu Family will accompany her in death!"
Upon hearing these murderous words from Li Chen, everyone in the Wu Family, including the Ninth Prince Wu Changwen, was terrified.
From the situation just now, they believed that Li Chen was absolutely capable of doing such things.
Wu Badao laughed maniacally, "Then you’d better hurry to save her, otherwise I can’t guarantee she won’t meet with an accident!"
Hearing Wu Badao’s words, Wang Chao and the others couldn’t help but feel startled.
Clearly, this was Wu Badao’s plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
He wanted to take this opportunity to divert Li Chen away.
With this in mind, the gazes of Wang Chao and the others all turned towards Li Chen.
Li Chen was a smart person; he naturally knew this was Wu Badao’s ploy.
However, Xie Wanwan and Xie Yun were his Achilles’ heel.
Even knowing this, he would still go without hesitation.
Besides, the conflict between the Wang Family and the Wu Family had nothing to do with him.
His purpose here was to rescue Xie Wanwan and Xie Yun.
Moreover, it was evident that the Wang Family was using him.
This made Li Chen quite displeased.
Moreover, even though Wu Badao was severely injured, he was still a genuine Mahayana Divine Monarch.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
Even if he could kill him now, it wouldn’t be something that could be achieved quickly.
Besides, if pushed to the edge, who knows what crazy actions Wu Badao might take.
The priority now was saving lives!
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Chen made no hesitation, transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards the rear hall.
Wu Badao naturally didn’t stop him.
Now that he was severely injured, if he faced both Li Chen and Wang Chao, it would be almost certain death.
But with Li Chen led away, he only had to face Wang Chao.
Even though he was injured, the odds were fifty-fifty.
Seeing Li Chen leave, the Wang Family members all changed their expressions.
Then, their gazes turned uniformly towards the Family Head, Wang Chao.
In contrast, Wang Chao remained much calmer.
He waved his hand, pretending to be at ease, "Everyone, do not panic. Wu Badao is already heavily injured, a spent force not worth worrying about. Once I personally take action, I’ll capture him!"
As he spoke, Wang Chao stepped forward, and the violent energy around him surged like a torrential river, shaking the entire void, which began to tremble violently.
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions were shocked.
Sun Heng first exclaimed, "Family Head, when did you break through the Life and Death Shackles and advance to the Mahayana Realm?"
Zhao Ze, Wang Jin, and others showed expressions of delight.
Conversely, on the Wu Family’s side, everyone looked as if they had been beaten down, like wilted vegetables.
If Wang Chao was only a Half-step Mahayana God Monarch, then King Wu Badao could still suppress him due to his superior cultivation.
As long as that monster Li Chen didn’t intervene, the outcome would still be uncertain.
But if Wang Chao had also advanced to the realm of a Mahayana Divine Monarch, it would mean he was on the same level as King Wu Badao.
Without any advantage in rank, the heavily injured Wu Badao would not be Wang Chao’s match.
Seeing the violent aura emanating from Wang Chao, Wu Badao’s gaze narrowed sharply.
However, he quickly discerned the secret within.
"No, you’re not a true Mahayana Divine Monarch, but just a Quasi Mahayana!"
A Quasi Mahayana God Monarch is someone between the Half-step Mahayana and true Mahayana.
All it takes is a trigger to break through the bottleneck and become a true Mahayana Divine Monarch.
Upon realizing that his secret was seen through by Wu Badao, Wang Chao’s expression hardened.
"Wu Badao, today I will use your head to help me break through the Life and Death Shackles and become a true Mahayana Divine Monarch!"
Wu Badao laughed wildly, responding, "Haha, Wang Chao, wanting to use my head, let’s see if you have what it takes!"
Just as he finished speaking, the aura around Wu Badao surged again, reaching for the Nine Heavens Cloud.
His overwhelming aura was still able to suppress Wang Chao.
Seeing this, anticipation filled Wang Chao’s eyes.
This was a thirst for the true Mahayana Divine Monarch realm!
Today, if he could kill Wu Badao, he could seize this opportunity and break through directly.
With this resolved in his mind, Wang Chao hesitated no longer, suddenly summoning a Red Tassel Spear.
The spearhead gleamed with a cold light, pointing straight at Wu Badao.
"Wu Badao, today is your day of death!"
Before the words were fully spoken, Wang Chao’s arm swung upward, like a Roc spreading its wings, launching an assault towards Wu Badao with a multitude of luminous veils.
Wu Badao, unwilling to be outdone, roared towards the sky like a Fierce Tiger escaping its cage.
The Green Rainbow Sword in his hand emanated a light redder than fresh blood, wildly swinging to form a blood-red Gang wind, sweeping through the sky with unstoppable force...
