The East River Dragon King's expression turned grim.
Huo Zhu and the others dared to lobby the martial forces under his jurisdiction on his territory.
This was clearly an insult to his face!
If he didn't keep them all here today, the East River Dragon King would have no way to report to the Emperor.
Hmph!
"You traitors who have betrayed the Emperor, die!"
The East River Dragon King snorted coldly.
Upon appearing, he didn't waste any words with Huo Zhu and the others, choosing to attack directly.
In an instant.
Terrifying primal energy pressure swept out.
The East River Dragon King unleashed his full strength.
That Yuan Mansion realm pressure, like Mount Tai crushing down, instantly made Huo Zhu and the others unable to breathe.
As expected.
The Zhenxi Beast King was right.
The East River Dragon King had already broken through to the Yuan Mansion realm.
And this aura was even stronger than the Zhenxi Beast King's!
Hu Hantian immediately shouted.
"Don't move, let me handle it!"
Then.
Hu Hantian took the lead, pressing a talisman stone against his chest.
The talisman stone turned to dust, and a terrifying power surged into Hu Hantian's body!
For a moment.
Hu Hantian's aura underwent a drastic change.
His gaze deepened, filled with killing intent!
His strength had greatly increased, and Hu Hantian had entered the Yuan Mansion realm.
"Die!"
Hu Hantian also wasted no words.
After becoming stronger, he withstood the East River Dragon King's pressure and then threw a punch towards the opponent.
Seeing Hu Hantian suddenly become stronger, the East River Dragon King was surprised.
"Interesting!"
He recalled what the Emperor had once said about the trump cards held by the descendants of the Ming King!
However, he didn't care at all.
He swung his arms, and primal energy transformed into dragon shadows, charging towards Hu Hantian.
Bang!
Hu Hantian took a blow and was forced back, unable to resist.
Fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured and charged towards the East River Dragon King again.
"You guys, hurry and leave!" Hu Hantian seized the opportunity to say.
But Huo Zhu and the others remained in place, showing no intention of leaving.
"Hmph! None of you will escape today. After I deal with you, I'll take care of them!" the East River Dragon King sneered.
He wasn't alone this time; tens of thousands of Dragon King Army soldiers were outside!
If not for worrying about too many casualties in the Dragon King Army, the East River Dragon King would have disdained to act personally!
Today, he was going to capture them alive for the Emperor!
Instantly.
Hu Hantian, whose realm had been elevated by the talisman stone, fought fiercely with the East River Dragon King.
The two exchanged blows, fighting for over a hundred rounds.
Hu Hantian, initially at a disadvantage, gradually gained the upper hand and could match the East River Dragon King evenly!
This made the East River Dragon King anxious. He had to resolve Hu Hantian quickly to avoid future complications.
"Die!"
The East River Dragon King roared.
He unleashed a full-power strike at the third level of the Yuan Mansion realm towards Hu Hantian.
"Heh! You want me to die? Are you sure you have the ability?" Hu Hantian sneered.
Facing the East River Dragon King's punch, he chose to meet it head-on, returning a punch.
Boom!
Immediately.
The terrifying combat fluctuations caused the entire ruined building to collapse.
Huo Zhu and the others quickly ran over.
The Dragon King Army outside, upon seeing Huo Zhu, did not rush to attack but stared intently into the dust cloud!
After that collision.
Who had won, the East River Dragon King or Hu Hantian?
Everyone became tense.
Finally, the dust cloud dispersed.
But the result shocked everyone!
"Old Hu actually won?"
"The East River Dragon King has been captured by him!"
Huo Zhu and the others exclaimed. Hu Hantian had exceeded their expectations!
The Dragon King Army soldiers panicked and immediately charged towards Huo Zhu and the others.
They wanted to capture Huo Zhu and the others and exchange them for the East River Dragon King!
But Hu Hantian struck first, speaking out.
"All of you, stop! Anyone who dares to take another step, I will kill him right now!"
Hu Hantian exuded a killing aura, holding the East River Dragon King in one hand and raising him high.
For a moment.
The Dragon King Army soldiers were hesitant, unsure of what to do.
They looked towards the East River Dragon King in Hu Hantian's hand, hoping for instructions.
However, the East River Dragon King had been knocked unconscious by Hu Hantian during the previous battle and could not give them any instructions.
"Don't make any rash moves."
At this moment, several commanders of the Dragon King Army, with solemn expressions, stopped the commotion.
Hu Hantian, dragging his heavily injured body, walked towards Huo Zhu and the others.
He kept signaling to Huo Zhu and the others.
"Go!"
Huo Zhu immediately realized Hu Hantian was not in good condition and said, "Let's go!"
Then.
Huo Zhu led the way, with two old ancestors protecting Hu Hantian on the sides.
They shielded Hu Hantian in the middle, using the East River Dragon King as a hostage, and approached the Dragon King Army!
"If you don't want your War King to die, then quickly make way for us, or I will kill him right now!" Hu Hantian threatened.
"We can let you go, but the War King must be returned to us!" the Dragon King Army commander said solemnly.
"Hmph!" Hu Hantian snorted.
The aura of the third level of the Yuan Mansion realm erupted, instantly enveloping the Dragon King Army.
"What? Do you want your War King to die so you can inherit his position?"
This!
The Dragon King Army commander's expression changed, and he quickly shouted.
"Nonsense!"
"We only want the War King to live, and we have never harbored any intention of usurping his position!"
"If that's the case, then quickly get out of the way, all of you!" Hu Hantian shouted coldly.
This...
The Dragon King Army commanders trembled with anger.
After a stalemate, they could only step aside.
The Dragon King Army glared at Hu Hantian and the others, but they were helpless.
They could only watch them leave.
However.
They closely followed behind Hu Hantian and the others.
Seeing this!
Hu Hantian forcefully suppressed the surging blood in his chest and glared again, "Whoever dares to follow, I will kill your War King right now. We'll all perish together!"
Hu Hantian's threat.
Once again made the Dragon King Army hesitant.
However, the Dragon King Army commander stepped forward with a hardened resolve.
"We let you go, but what about our War King? If you take him away, what's the difference from killing him directly?"
"Everyone, don't panic. If they don't release the War King, we will follow them closely!"
Clearly.
This commander was no ordinary person.
He understood what the East River Dragon King would face after being captured.
Therefore, he had to follow closely, otherwise, the East River Dragon King would be in danger!
"Don't worry, we won't take him away. As soon as we are safe, we will throw him down!" Hu Hantian said solemnly.
"We don't believe you! Either you hand over the War King to us now, or there's nothing more to discuss!" the East River Dragon King's commander refused to back down.
"You!" Hu Hantian's temper flared, and he tightened his grip on the East River Dragon King.
"Do you believe I'll kill him right now?"
"If you dare to kill our War King, then you should prepare to be buried with him. At worst, after you die, we will commit suicide!" the Dragon King Army commander shouted.
To prove they did not intend to harm the East River Dragon King and usurp his position, he chose to commit suicide as an apology.
Upon hearing this.
The morale of the Dragon King Army soldiers immediately returned, and they were willing to obey the Dragon King Army commander's orders.
Instantly.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
The hot-tempered Hu Hantian couldn't help but want to strike a killing blow.
Fortunately, Huo Zhu quickly stopped him and stepped forward, saying, "If you don't trust your War King, then there is another way."
