Chapter 136: Meeting the God King Again

Boom, boom, boom!

Luo Han’s body was sent flying backward for fifty meters, smashing through four or five dilapidated walls in succession before finally crashing to the ground.

Spurt.

Luo Han’s chest caved in at a bizarre angle, and a mouthful of fresh blood violently spewed out.

"Since you refuse to be obedient, I can't let you die too quickly. Tsk tsk, a super genius of the human race. Toying with such a person makes the slaughter all the more delectable."

A cruel and sinister sneer played on the corners of the lower-tier divine king’s mouth as he slowly walked toward Luo Han, who lay on the ground.

...

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the purple jade bracelet on Luo Ling’s wrist suddenly shattered into pieces! Luo Ling, who was being carried at a rapid run by Kobei, abruptly changed expression, her heart jolting in profound shock.

"Kobei, faster!"

"Hurry!"

An inexplicable and intensifying sense of unease welled up in Luo Ling's heart, her heartbeat turning frantic as her arms tightened around Kobei's neck.

"Alright!"

Kobei, running at high speed, furrowed his brows slightly. Although he could not fathom how Luo Ling had deduced that Luo Han was facing a life-or-death crisis, he trusted her!

Boom!

With a sudden burst of explosive force from his soles, Kobei pushed his already ultimate speed up by another notch. His body transformed into a streak of lightning, hurtling madly in the direction of the Xijiang ruined city.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Kobei’s speed erupted to its absolute limit, leaving clear afterimages lingering behind him in place. Having already carried Luo Ling for over five hundred kilometers, he was about to reach the Xijiang ruined city.

At this moment, Kobei’s extreme speed had reached nearly twelve times the speed of sound! In just a brief span of about a hundred kilometers, lasting only a few breaths, Kobei arrived.

"We're here!"

Gazing at the ruined city not far ahead, Kobei gently set Luo Ling down from his embrace.

"Stay here!"

Kobei let out a low shout, his body transforming into a blur as he darted into the Xijiang ruined city.

Meanwhile, inside the ruined city, that lower-tier divine being had already walked right up to Luo Han.

"There is one thing I don't understand. Why would a powerhouse of your divine king realm dare to enter the sphere of influence of the human race?"

Luo Han raised his head slightly, his demeanor calm and entirely devoid of panic. He gazed indifferently at the lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse whose face bore a sinister sneer, and slowly posed his question.

Many people fear death, but Luo Han did not! Thus, he remained utterly calm; he was merely curious as to why this divine king realm powerhouse had appeared here. Luo Han’s father was among the upper echelons of humanity, so he was aware of the pact between the divine race and the top-tier human powerhouses. He simply could not understand why the divine race would violate the agreement and allow a divine king realm powerhouse to dare appear within human territory!

"You are not qualified to know too much!"

Clad in purple battle armor, the lower-tier divine king heard Luo Han's question. The sneer on his face slowly faded as his expression suddenly darkened, and he uttered a chilling, low-pitched rebuke!

"However, considering that you are about to die, I can reveal a little bit to you. Hehe... All of you so-called human geniuses in this batch are going to die!"

"So, there is no need for you to grieve. You are going to die anyway!"

The lower-tier divine king glanced darkly at Luo Han and said with a cold laugh.

"It seems you all wish to ignite a full-scale racial war once again!"

Luo Han narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised a hand to slowly wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, let out a cold laugh, and spoke in a low voice. Luo Han had never feared death, but at this moment, his mood was exceptionally heavy. If this entire batch of geniuses from the Jiujiang Genius Training Camp’s Azure Dragon Rank were to be slaughtered, the loss to the entire human race would be immeasurable!

After all, they were all geniuses. Out of these hundred people, nearly twenty or thirty would eventually break through to the War God realm! If they died, it meant humanity would lose more than twenty future War God realm powerhouses in one fell swoop!

Ever since the base cities were established nearly a hundred years ago, humanity had only accumulated a total of a thousand War God realm powerhouses. For over twenty future War God-tier powerhouses to be slaughtered all at once, such a loss was indeed monumental!

Although Luo Han did not care about his own life, his sole thought at this moment was to survive! He had to convey this news to the higher-ups of humanity!

He could not let the human geniuses be slaughtered by the divine race!

Absolutely not!

Luo Han roared frantically in his heart, a diamond-shaped crystal at the center of his brow glowing with a faint azure light as strands of azure flame rapidly converged!

Boom!

Luo Han, lying on the ground, slammed his palm against the earth and abruptly sprang into the air. An azure fireball containing all his remaining energy slowly condensed in the palm of his hand. This fireball looked small, but it contained all of Luo Han's energy. He had compressed this fireball to the absolute limit, and it harbored explosive power within!

"Die!"

With a low roar, Luo Han used every ounce of his strength to hurl the azure fireball in his palm fiercely toward the lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse. At the same time, Luo Han kicked off violently with his foot, fleeing frantically toward the exterior of the Xijiang ruined city.

"Ignorant! You still want to escape right in front of me?"

Clad in purple battle armor, the lower-tier divine king let out a disdainful, cold snort. He abruptly reached out his hand and grabbed the incoming azure fireball, seizing it firmly within his palm.

Bang!

As purple divine power rippled slightly, this lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse directly crushed and detonated the azure fireball, which had been charged with terrifying energy, launched by Luo Han!

Watching Luo Han flee wildly, the purple-armored lower-tier divine king wore a look of disdainful mockery on his face. With a gentle tap of his foot, his body drifted upward, stepping into the void, and in an instant, he arrived right above Luo Han's head.

"An ant!"

Clad in purple battle armor, the lower-tier divine king stepped upon the void and looked down condescendingly at Luo Han.

"Perish!"

The lower-tier divine being gave a cold shout, suddenly diving straight down from above, his pale fist smashing down fiercely!

Boom!

His fist shattered the air, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom as it crashed downward!

"No!"

Feeling the violent gale descending from above, Luo Han let out a frantic roar! He knew that if this punch landed on his body, he would undoubtedly die!

Luo Han was not afraid of death, but if he died, the intelligence regarding the divine race dispatching a large number of divine king realm powerhouses to ambush human geniuses would fail to reach the outside world.

"Luo, Big Brother!"

Just as the lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse's fist was about to strike Luo Han, Kobei finally arrived. Staring fixedly at the lower-tier divine king’s fist, Kobei’s pupils violently contracted!

With a violent stomp of his foot, the muscles in his calves tightened abruptly, and the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill surged into both legs simultaneously. A clear afterimage remained in place as, in the next instant, Kobei leaped directly above Luo Han. His physical strength erupted with a roar, smashing fiercely toward the fist of the lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse.

Boom!

Kobei’s fist collided violently with that of the lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse. Amidst a thunderous explosion, the purple-armored lower-tier divine king flew backward with an expression of sheer disbelief and astonishment plastered across his face!

When it came to physical strength, not a single soul on Earth was a match for Kobei!

Let alone a lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse—even a middle-tier or absolute upper-tier divine king realm powerhouse in terms of pure physical strength alone was definitely no match for Kobei!

"Luo Big Brother, are you alright?"

With a single punch, Kobei sent the lower-tier divine king flying backward. He looked down with a trace of concern at Luo Han, whose chest was bizarrely caved in, blood stained the corners of his mouth, and the black battle-suit on his chest was dyed purple by fresh blood.

"I'm fine."

Luo Han's gaze was resolute as he shook his head slightly.

"Brother!"

As Luo Ling looked at the wound on Luo Han's chest, her eye rims instantly turned red. Her nostrils flared slightly, and she called out "Brother" in a slightly hoarse voice as tears threatened to well up and spill over.

"I'm fine, Linger. You and Kobei must leave quickly. Return to the Jiujiang Base and pass on the news that the divine race has violated the pact! Have the War God-tier powerhouses of the Jiujiang Base take action to protect the others who accepted missions!"

A flash of resolute determination crossed Luo Han's eyes as he spoke to Luo Ling in a solemn tone.

"Kobei, I leave my younger sister in your hands. Take her and leave, quickly!"

Luo Han cast a deep look at Kobei, then abruptly spun around. With his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the lower-tier divine king-tier powerhouse that had been blasted away by Kobei's single punch, he took a fierce step forward!

"I will hold it off for a moment!"

"I cannot buy much time, you two must leave immediately!"

Luo Han wore a look of grim determination on his face as he slowly walked toward the lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse.

"Human, what incredible strength!"

Clad in purple battle armor, the lower-tier divine king didn't even bother to look at Luo Han. Instead, it locked its gaze directly onto Kobei, a flash of astonishment flickering within its purple pupils. The divine race's natural strength far exceeded that of humans, and in terms of pure strength alone, a divine king realm powerhouse was significantly stronger than a human War God-tier powerhouse!

Yet Kobei, in the eyes of this lower-tier divine king, was merely a little mortal-shedding realm brat. A human in the mortal-shedding realm had actually managed to send it flying using pure physical strength! Such power was truly unimaginable!

"Luo Han Big Brother, let me handle this."

Kobei slowly raised his arm, placing his palm upon Luo Han's shoulder. A terrifying, immense force erupted abruptly. The moment Kobei's hand rested on Luo Han's shoulder, Luo Han felt as though a towering mountain had suddenly crushed down upon him, rendering his body instantly immobile.

"You..."

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Before Luo Han could finish speaking, Kobei interrupted him. Gazing at the lower-tier divine king, whose face bore a trace of astonishment, Kobei flexed his wrist. With a faint smile on his face, he slowly stepped forward. Last time, his strength was too poor; although he possessed the Netherworld Purple Fire, Kobei had ultimately passed out and had no clear idea how he had repelled that lower-tier divine king. This time, his strength was vastly superior!

Kobei tightened his fist slightly as a surging, frenzied battle intent rose within him. At this moment, he deeply yearned for a battle against this lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse!

"Courting death!"

A chilling intent flashed through the eyes of the purple-armored lower-tier divine king realm powerhouse! It had truly never encountered such an arrogant little mortal-shedding realm brat before!

Although Kobei’s physical strength had taken this divine king realm powerhouse by surprise, it was nothing more than a momentary shock! To think of defeating a divine king realm powerhouse with mere physical strength? It was nothing short of a pipe dream!

Boom!

A brilliant burst of purple energy suddenly surged from within the body of the purple-armored lower-tier divine king. The lower-tier divine king slowly raised its sickly pale palm and casually pointed a finger. That torrential wave of purple energy roared viciously toward Kobei!
