Chapter 362: Chapter 321: Black Order Bounty (5th Update)

Everyone was horrified, especially the numerous bandits who were terrified.

This Divine Spear was the supreme weapon of an exceedingly mighty personage from the depths of the Black Sky Plain, known for its divine power to slay gods and Buddhas alike, cutting down countless strong foes and smeared with the blood of many, forged in bloodshed to become a Daoist Soldier.

In the hundred cities near the Black Sky Plain, three strong City Lords had been impaled and killed by this Divine Spear.

It could be said to be an invincible Demon Weapon, famous throughout the Black Sky Plain, unstoppable by anyone, except perhaps by the dominant level of the Black Sky Eight Bandits.

Yet now it had snapped, broken into pieces by a young man, shattered into five segments, which fell like shooting stars upon the wasteland, smashing the distant barren mountains.

The scene was shocking, and if word got out, it would cause the entire Black Sky Plain to quake with uproar.

And the young man who dealt the blow stood like a Divine Land, his every inch of flesh shimmering with Divine Radiance, with a presence that dominated the world, unrivaled.

With the Divine Spear shattered, a group of Divine Light burst forth, vaguely forming a human shape in the void, radiating boundless pressure as it looked at Ye Chen and said, "You truly have some nerve to break my Destroying God Spear. I dare not say for other places, but here in the Black Sky Plain, you will have nowhere to hide, all the bandits will pursue and kill you."

Swoosh—

Ye Chen charged forward, delivering a supreme Divine Fist that fell like an Immortal grindstone of heaven and earth, crushing the humanoid Divine Light Group bit by bit, annihilating it, while his cold voice echoed, "What in this world should I fear, bring me one and I’ll kill one, bring me a pair and I’ll slaughter both."

Afterward, his whole appearance changed; his jet-black hair turned blood-red, his face even more stern and ruthless, his cold eyes sweeping over the numerous bandits as he said coldly, "Remember my name, Red-scaled King!"

Boom—

He wielded the Heavenly Divine Spear, and lightning blazed forth, striking down bandit after bandit, reducing them to charred corpses, with only a few survivors left to spread the word, fleeing as quickly as they were pardoned.

"You all may go," said Ye Chen before he and Chenn Ruo soared into the sky to leave, storing the events deep within their hearts, knowing they could not speak of it.

After having traveled a hundred miles, Ye Chen reverted to his original appearance, having only temporarily taken on the appearance of the Red-scaled King through a bit of small magic.

Naturally, such a minor magic could likely not deceive the Divine Spear’s owner, hence it was only after crushing the Divine Thought that he had used it to confuse the bandits.

Chenn Ruo blinked her clear eyes and couldn’t help saying, "Ye Chen, I didn’t expect you to be so wily, framing and shifting the blame onto that Red-haired Monster; if he finds out, he’ll surely kill you."

"If he wants to kill, let him kill; isn’t he here to hunt us down? He’s probably made it to the Black Sky Plain by now. This should give him a bit of trouble, making it harder for him to continue his pursuit," replied Ye Chen, "Besides, I’ll lay low if others do not offend me, but since it’s come to this, let’s use his identity to sweep through the dens of the Black Sky Plain bandits, unleash utter chaos, and make the skies of the Black Sky Plain even more tumultuous."

Chenn Ruo immediately showed eagerness, "I like the sound of that; let’s wreak havoc together. Why not break into one of the lairs of the Black Sky Eight Bandits, steal everything they have—what do you say?"

"Quit it with those ideas; you really dare to think of anything. If that were the case, we would end up permanently trapped in this Black Sky Plain without ever leaving."

Ye Chen knew this girl was nothing but a troublemaker at heart. He flicked her forehead with his finger. She couldn’t dodge it even if she tried, and she covered her reddened forehead, pouting, "Jerk, always flicking my forehead, why don’t you flick your own? Bullying a girl, what kind of behavior is that?"

"Sorry, it’s a habit," Ye Chen replied in all seriousness.

"..."

Meanwhile, deep within the Black Sky Plain, within an imposing range of pitch-black mountains lay a large stronghold of outlaws. Thousands of bandits lived here, turning it into a mountain city built against the hillsides.

That day, a roar erupted, shaking heaven and earth, altering the complexion of the skies, which caused many bandits to look in shock toward the grand palace atop the highest peak of the Black Mountain. The roar came from there; from the Black Mountain Lord, a dominant-level bandit well-known in the Black Sky Plain. He was not one of the Black Sky Eight Bandits, but he was nevertheless a figure of great infamy, only slightly less notorious than the Eight.

All bandits were startled and puzzled as to why the Black Mountain Lord would roar in such a manner.

Within the palace, a burly middle-aged man with three fierce scars across his face, the Black Mountain Lord, sat on his lofty throne. His eyes flickered with a cold light as he coldly said, "Is it the Red-scaled King? The young ruler born this generation in the Red God Valley. Outside the Black Sky Plain, you might be beyond my reach, but within these boundaries, even the Immortal Sacred Land stands no chance. Since you dare to come to the Black Sky Plain, you shall remain here forever."

"Come forth!"

Someone immediately approached, bowing respectfully, "I have seen the Lord. May I know what orders you have?"

The Black Mountain Lord commanded, "Issue a Black Order Bounty, hunt down the Red-scaled King!"

The attendant’s expression changed. On the Black Sky Plain, there were bounties ranked as Yellow Orders, Blood Orders, and Black Orders, with the latter being the highest tier, offering a minimum of five hundred thousand catties of Spirit Stones as a reward. Once issued, it would drive the entire Black Sky Plain into frenzy.

But Black Orders were rarely seen; often decades or centuries would pass without a single issuance. Recently, however, there had been two consecutively. The first, just days ago, when a beloved grandson of one of the Black Sky Eight Bandits was gravely injured.

The second was now personally issued by the Black Mountain Lord. It was foreseeable that the sky of the Black Sky Plain was about to change completely. A reward of five hundred thousand catties of Spirit Stones was exorbitant and would drive all bandits into utter madness.

In fact, before the Black Order had even been fully dispersed, Ye Chen, taking on the persona of the Red-scaled King, had already stirred up a formidable upheaval on the Black Sky Plain.

As the Red-scaled King, he had used his supreme fighting prowess to devastate as many as thirty-nine bandit strongholds, slaying over a thousand bandits, and establishing a fearsome reputation that shook the entire plain.

For years, no one had dared to so brazenly defy the Black Sky Plain. Ye Chen, in his guise as the Red-scaled King, even fearlessly announced to all the outlaws that he was the one who had severely injured the beloved grandson of the mighty bandit, scornfully claiming he was hardly worth a blow, provoking a major storm across the Plain.

At the same time, the Black Order Bounty was announced, and all of the Black Sky Plain heard of it, plunging into a frenzy, hunting for the Red-scaled King.

It was just that by this time, Ye Chen had already gone into hiding.

Elsewhere, the real Red-scaled King, leading the formidable from Red God Valley, had officially entered the Black Sky Plain, unaware of the great storm that was brewing against him there.
