Chapter 1540: Chapter 1535: Divine Power_1 Chapter 1540: Chapter 1535: Divine Power_1 Now that such a situation has arisen, there’s no doubt that there must be a traitor within.

After all, no matter how well-informed Li Lianfeng is, he couldn’t possibly have calculated the time so precisely, even knowing when Li Lianfeng would arrive here.

What puzzled Yang Chen was how the people of the Fierce Ghost Sect managed to do this?

However, after thinking about it, he quickly realized that since the Fierce Ghost Sect had the means to connect with Wu Changkong and make him their puppet, they naturally had a way to plant other traitors as well.

It wasn’t likely to be Li Lianfeng’s side, mainly because the location was too far away, and the Fierce Ghost Sect couldn’t possibly plant a mole in such a place. So, it was probably within the Royal Family.

However, he no longer had time to consider the matter of the traitor within the Royal Family. He had to strive to survive and change the present situation.

If he couldn’t escape, he would have to try facing the Demigod Stage powerhouse head-on.

Yang Chen looked serious, as he used the Lightning Giant to fight the black gas, then quietly manipulated the Spirit Fire Snake, planning to sneak attack Chen Jingkui.

Chen Jingkui was now captivated by Yang Chen’s methods. After all, in his own continent, he might not be able to kill a Spirit Plate Stage easily. But here, killing a Spirit Plate Stage was just as easy as killing a chicken, and Yang Chen was the first one he couldn’t finish off.

Just as he wanted to see what tricks Yang Chen had up his sleeve, Chen Jingkui suddenly felt something.

“Hmph, trying to ambush me!” Chen Jingkui waved his hand, and from his sleeve, numerous ghost creatures with gaping mouths emerged, snapping at a piece of rapidly moving flame. This flame was the Spirit Fire Snake controlled by Yang Chen.

“What!” Yang Chen couldn’t see through Chen Jingkui’s methods at all, and had to crush the Spirit Fire Snake. In an instant, the Spirit Fire Snake turned into a stream of fire and vanished into smoke, returning to Yang Chen’s hand.

Chen Jingkui sneered, “Dare to ambush…”

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, a huge vine emerged from the ground, piercing through Chen Jingkui’s chest from underneath his feet.

Chen Jingkui’s pupils shrank, as if he hadn’t expected this to happen.

Yang Chen was delighted, looking at Chen Jingkui’s body that was already pierced through. It would be a lie if he said he wasn’t happy.

However, he soon thought of something.

It didn’t seem right; it was too easy for him to kill a Demigod Stage.

Even Wu Changkong had a certain means of self-preservation, and it was impossible for the Demigod of the Fierce Ghost Sect to be so useless.

Just as his thoughts fell, Chen Jingkui’s body suddenly began to decay and rot. Immediately, viscous liquid appeared within the body, leaving only an empty shell of clothing.

The viscous liquid gradually formed the image of Chen Jingkui, but the image was more sinister than before. His body even had pieces of rotten flesh squirming about, making him look even more like a ferocious ghost.

“Hehe, little guy, not bad. You managed to counterattack, but do you think you can really defeat me? Let me tell you, it’s impossible. Forcing me to reveal this state, you should be proud. Hehe, you’re indeed not an ordinary Spirit Plate Stage cultivator. In that case, let me have a good look at what’s so powerful about you!” Chen Jingkui said in a low voice.

Looking at his appearance, Yang Chen only felt a chill crawl up his spine. In an instant, he thought of something: “Chen Jingkui’s appearance and the Ghost King summoned by Wei Bin are similar. So that’s it. He has actually cultivated himself into a Ghost King. He usually shows a fake appearance to others, but this is his true face. What kind of sect is this Fierce Ghost Sect, and what kind of Cultivation Methods do they practice?!”

Yang Chen felt a chill, but at that moment, Chen Jingkui was already rushing towards him.

His speed was much faster than before, and wherever he went, the Spiritual Energy was corroded into black gas. These black gases touched the souls and made the space filled with wailing ghosts and howling wolves.

So much so that the black gases grew more numerous and came rushing towards Yang Chen. Even the four Lightning Giants were having a hard time defending against them.

Yang Chen had no choice but to grab at the air again, and in an instant, the ground erupted with huge vines. This time, the vines directly aimed to pierce Chen Jingkui’s body.

However, this time Chen Jingkui had become much smarter. With countless layers of yin souls guarding his body, the vines were corroded beyond recognition as they approached.

Yang Chen’s expression became extremely difficult, and the Tree Technique seemed useless.

Chen Jingkui roared, “I hate this natural power the most, kid, die for me!”

When the conversation ended, his arm suddenly stretched out, trying to pierce directly through Yang Chen’s chest. Upon seeing this, Yang Chen’s True Qi surged in an instant, and numerous vines bubbled up from the ground.

This time, Yang Chen went all out, consuming nearly 70 or 80 percent of his True Qi. At least dozens of huge vines burst from the ground, either whipping Chen Jingkui’s body or grabbing his arms. The power of each strike created a spectacular scene.

A series of vines completely formed a natural formation, surrounding Chen Jingkui within.

When Chen Jingkui was enveloped by the vines, he instinctively tried to struggle, only to find that he couldn’t break free for a while. The black yin souls might be effective against a single vine, but they were much weaker against so many vines attacking at once.

As a result, Chen Jingkui became even angrier.

He roared, “Kid, you’ve really angered me. As Chen Jingkui, I am actually forced to this point by you, a Spirit Plate Stage cultivator. Die!”

As the words fell, Chen Jingkui’s voice boomed, and some unknown power erupted. In an instant, Yang Chen only felt his body taking a heavy hit, and he vomited blood.

Then, the vines summoned by the Tree Technique were slashed into pieces, completely losing their shape.

Immediately after, Cai Yi inside the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space suddenly shouted, “Yang Chen, run away! This is divine power. Chen Jingkui is using divine power, and you are no match for him. Run!”

She had wanted to persuade Yang Chen to flee earlier but knew that Yang Chen wouldn’t give up so easily.

Now that Chen Jingkui had even used divine power, Yang Chen had no chance of winning.

Yang Chen didn’t know what divine power was, but he only knew that there was too much difference in power between them at that moment.
