876  Chapter 876 Jiang Chen's determination

The moment the 5 early rank 9 Dao Kings entered Jiang Chen's 'Kingdom of Darkness' however, their figures immediately froze into place before surprised expressions quickly appeared on their faces.

''What...? I-I can't see anything?! What's going on?'' The bald, yellow-robed middle-aged man called 'young master Zhong' was the first one to speak, as his confident expression was soon replaced by a dumbfounded look as he tried to look around him.

Realizing that he couldn't even see his own fingers, was enough to send even an experienced early rank 9 Dao King like him in shock for a moment.

''No, it's not just our eyes! My soul sense seems to be suppressed as well! What kind of treasure did that bastard use?'' Silence immediately filled their surroundings as the group of 5 early rank 9 Dao Kings seemed to have fallen completely quiet the moment they noticed this detail. Naturally, it was one thing for just their vision to have been suddenly impeded, but if their soul sense was affected as well then things were completely different.

After all, if they couldn't use their soul sense under such circumstances, then even a group of 5 peak rank 9 Dao Kings would be risking their lives fighting against a peak rank 6 magic beast head-on. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And yet, this silence only lasted for a few moments, before the purple-robed young man, 'senior brother Yao' began to assess the situation calmly

''No, I don't think that that guy used a treasure. No matter what, we are still inside the 'City of Immortals', so any treasures apart from star-rank weapons and armor will immediately become unusable here! Even if someone carried a 3-star rank talisman or a life-saving treasure with them, it will still be useless in this place! If I'm not wrong... then that guy must have either comprehended an immortal-grade martial skill, or he must possess some kind of extremely rare unique physique that allows him to affect a person's soul sense.''

'Senior brother Yao's' words seemed to have turned abnormally serious the moment he finished his sentence, before a solemn look appeared on his face as he tried to study the thick darkness around him.

Clearly, being in a situation like this where his eyes were rendered useless while the vast majority of his soul sense was also being suppressed seemed to be a first even for him.

However, the moment the remaining 4 early rank 9 Dao Kings heard his words they immediately scoffed in response, before the bald, yellow-robed middle-aged man, 'young master Zhong' asked mockingly

''Immortal-grade martial skill? Yao Guanting, do you really think that immortal-grade martial skills are cabbages that any random dog can find? Even the 5 of us have only managed to obtain a single Saint middle-grade martial skill after working together for so long, so how can a middle rank 5 Dao King brat obtain one so easily?''

The remaining 3 early rank 9 Dao Kings didn't say anything, but from the snorts they let out it was evident that they agreed with 'young master Zhong's' words.

After all, the 5 of them had already spent a long time traveling together inside the 'City of Immortals', so they all understood how difficult it was to obtain even a single Saint middle-grade martial skill, let alone an immortal-grade one!

And yet, the tall, purple-robed young man, Yao Guanting merely sneered as he stared in the direction where 'young master Zhong's' voice just came from, before he answered in the same calm manner as before

''This is why it's safe for us to assume that this darkness is the effect of a certain unique physique rather than that of a martial skill. After all, even a Saint high-grade martial skill shouldn't be able to restrict the soul senses of 5 rank 9 Dao Kings like this simultaneously.''

In the next moment, just as the yellow-robed middle-aged man wanted to retort, his eyes suddenly narrowed into 2 thin slits as he abruptly turned around to stare at the darkness behind him. Even though he couldn't see anything different with his eyes, 'young master Zhong' as well as the other 4 early rank 9 Dao Kings, could all sense a powerful killing intent coming from that direction before a cold voice entered their ears at the same time

''It seems that one of you could at least guess correctly. You are right, this is indeed the effect of a unique physique. It's too bad that you bastards chose to mess with the wrong person. Since you dared to set your sights on him, don't expect to leave out of here alive!''

Hearing Jiang Chen's voice that was filled with undisguised hostility ended up stunning the 5 Dao Kings for a moment, as they seemed to be having some trouble accepting that this was all really done by a single middle rank 5 Dao King like him.

However, the yellow-robed middle-aged man, 'young master Zhong' simply snorted before he sent a punch toward the origin of the voice barely a moment later, as he replied with a mercilessly cold tone

''You arrogant brat, did you really think that we are afraid of you just because we were willing to give you a way out? Laughable! Remember that in front of a late-stage Dao King, a middle rank 5 Dao King like you is nothing but trash! Learn your place!''

'Young master Zhong's' fist was actually powerful enough to make even the space around him tremble the moment it emerged, while even the darkness that was blocking his way seemed to have been forcefully dispersed in front of his terrifying punch.

Forget about middle-stage Dao Kings like Jiang Chen, 'young master Zhong' was confident that even an early rank 7 Dao King like Liu Mei would be instantly obliterated in front of his attack!

However, before the bald, yellow-robed man could gloat at his 'victory' and laugh at how weak Jiang Chen's darkness really was, the darkness around him came together barely a moment later as it surrounded 'young master Zhong' once again.

Opening his eyes wide, 'young master Zhong' was just about to exclaim in disbelief at the sight in front of him that had already exceeded his expectations, but at that moment, a certain voice seemed to have entered his ears for the second time as Jiang Chen spat out in an annoyed tone

''Useless buddhist bastard, are you really just going to stand there and watch?''
