Chase Chu and Princess Serene both looked at King Victor Zhao with puzzled expressions. They couldn’t understand why he seemed to know so much about Evan Chu. If Evan was truly as powerful as Victor claimed, then there really was no need to worry about him at all.
Right now, Chase’s heart was filled with emotion. He hadn’t expected his father to give him such a special gift—a betrothal gift prepared just for him, and it was no small thing.
“Father, is Uncle Evan really that strong? I honestly find it hard to believe. Why don’t we go watch their fight and see for ourselves?” Princess Serene whispered to King Victor Zhao.
“Go watch? If you think you have nine lives, then go ahead. The energy storms that erupt when true experts clash aren’t something your current strength can withstand. Sometimes a single martial technique can wipe out everything within thousands, even tens of thousands of miles. Do you really think you could dodge that?” King Victor Zhao replied.
Princess Serene and Chase were instantly stunned. With that kind of terrifying power, going to watch would be suicide. It looked like all they could do was quietly wait for Evan to return.
Princess Ivy had Jade to protect her, so there was no danger. Now, she too had left the VIP stands and flown off to a safe place in the distance. She wasn’t too worried about Evan’s safety either.
At this moment, Evan was surrounded by the three monarchs—escaping was impossible. But he hadn’t planned to run anyway; this was a rare chance for all three of them to come and die. He had to resolve Chase’s crisis in the Netherworld completely before he could leave in peace.
“Come on, make your move—why aren’t you attacking? Are you scared of me now? King Warren Lin, aren’t you supposed to be so tough? Today, the first person I’m going to kill is you. I’ll show you who you really shouldn’t mess with!” Evan said.
“Hahahaha! Did you all hear that? This kid actually wants to kill me! Even now, with death at his doorstep, he’s still running his mouth. Fine, let me see just how strong you are—I hope you won’t disappoint me!” King Warren Lin said.
“I’m actually a little scared right now. You three showed up all at once, and you’re all top-tier experts of the Netherworld. Now you’re ganging up on me alone—I feel almost flattered! You guys are just too kind. How am I supposed to thank you?” Evan said with a mocking smile.
“Kid, you dare mock us? This time next year will be your death anniversary—prepare to die!” King Warren Lin roared, lunging at Evan with full force. In his eyes, Evan wasn’t even worthy to survive a single move.
King Victor Zhao valued Evan because he was young and had the potential to grow stronger. Plus, Victor always cherished talent—he’d even treated Evan as a brother and friend. But to King Warren Lin, Evan was just a bootlicker with no real skills, and Lin hated people like that the most.
Evan knew King Warren Lin was underestimating him. That strike wasn’t all that powerful—but Evan was different. His goal was to deal Lin a heavy blow, ideally killing him in one move and giving the other two monarchs a brutal warning.
King Warren Lin’s strength had reached the demigod realm—killing him with a regular martial technique was impossible. Only Divine Cleave could do it, but using that would expose Evan’s true power, giving the other two a chance to escape. That was the last thing Evan wanted.
Since he couldn’t use Divine Cleave, Star-Cleave was the next best option. With the Unicorn Arm boosting Star-Cleave, the attack power was still immense. Even if he couldn’t kill King Warren Lin outright, he was confident he could at least seriously injure him.
Inside Evan, Chaos Immortal Force surged rapidly. As King Warren Lin’s attack arrived, Evan was already prepared—he unleashed a sword strike with thunderous force, slashing straight at Lin.
In the eyes of the three monarchs, Evan was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. None of them expected that this so-called lamb was actually a sleeping lion. Evan’s strike shook the entire space violently—while not as powerful as Divine Cleave, it was nearly on par.
King Warren Lin arrogantly believed he could kill Evan with ease—a normal technique was more than enough, so he only used seventy percent of his strength. Little did he know, Evan’s attack was far beyond anything he could withstand.
As a demigod-level expert, Lin was keenly aware of danger. In an instant, he sensed an unprecedented crisis—but escape was already impossible. He could only hastily recall his longsword and try to shield his most vital points, like his Nether Core and his heart.
This turn of events caught him completely off guard. The other two monarchs were also shocked by Evan’s overwhelming attack power—his sword strike was every bit as strong as the three of them attacking at full force. Only now did they realize Evan was a true expert, a formidable opponent.
King Warren Lin realized he’d miscalculated and tried to protect himself. But Evan was far too clever, his combat experience far richer than all three monarchs combined. The moment Lin switched to defense, Evan knew Lin was as good as dead.
The Frostbane Divine Sword’s devastating sword-qi struck Lin’s body in an instant, slicing through his supreme-grade Nether artifact like it was nothing. Against the Frostbane Divine Sword, those artifacts were just trash—not even on the same level.
The Frostbane Divine Sword tore right through King Warren Lin’s body, leaving several bone-deep wounds—two of them even pierced his internal organs. Lin’s whole body was sent flying hundreds of meters like a cannonball, raining blood through the air in a truly terrifying scene.
“King Lin!” King Grant Gu and the Beast King rushed toward him as soon as they saw Lin sent flying by Evan’s strike. But Evan was even faster—just as Lin’s body started to fall back, Evan moved.
With only a blur left behind, Evan’s Frostbane Divine Sword drew another elegant sword-flower. This time it was Star-Cleave again, but without the Unicorn Arm boost. Even so, it was more than enough to finish off King Warren Lin as he was now.
Evan’s sword strike landed perfectly on King Warren Lin. Before King Grant Gu and the Beast King could even reach him, they saw their old friend split clean in two by Evan’s blade—his body was sliced apart in an instant, and even his Nether Core couldn’t escape.
No one had ever imagined something like this could happen, but here it was. Evan was ruthless—like a bandit, he snatched the storage ring from Lin’s finger, then unleashed Heavenfire to burn the corpse to ashes in an instant.
Violent energy swept the sky, filling the air with swirling yellow sand. Evan didn’t care at all. “A loser like you dares call yourself king? What a joke!” he sneered.
