Chapter 535: Betrayal from Fu Sheng

Du Hao's whole body was shaking in anger. Never in the world did he expect he would end up in such a state as soon as he was resurrected. "This damn suppression on my cultivation… Argh…"

He roared and used his remaining strength to push his leg against the ground, flying away from the place.

But, would Mark let go of this opportunity?

Obviously, No.

"Bael" He shouted.

The demon king, this time, successfully blocked his path. "Sorry but you are not leaving away, hybrid." He pushed his palm against the opponent's chest, hitting him with brute force.

As Du Hao crashed onto the ground, Mark took out a palm-sized box from the inventory that seemed like carrying jewelry items and threw it at the fallen enemy, using his entire strength at the same time.

The box cut through the air at supersonic speeds and struck the back of the enemy's head, releasing over 637 terajoules of massive energy output.

Originally, this isn't remotely enough to injure someone from the God realm, but the suppression from the mortal plane laws, followed by extensive injuries, ended up with the attack from the unnamed box as a finishing move.

*Puchi*

In an instant, Du Hao's skull cracked like an egg that was hit by a palm-sized stone without him even getting to take that glimpse of the attack that killed him and Bael couldn't help but just watch the scene in a daze. "What in the heavens is that item? I couldn't sense anything from it. Or maybe, it is some weird skill. This human had a lot of such techniques."

Meanwhile, Mark was pushed away a few meters by the energy released from the collision and crashed to the ground. There were mild scratches on the body here and there but no serious would was found.

"Man, that box is quite a treasure. I wonder how powerful it would be if I increase its weight with a gravity dome," Mark couldn't help but wonder as he dusted off his clothes and slowly walked to the body and picked up the box.

He also didn't forget to absorb the soul of the enemy and feed it to the Orb of Bael instead of letting it go away for another resurrection later on.

His soul might be powerful but after the Orb of Bael integrated with the system, it wasn't a match for it. Just like any other soul, Du Hao's soul was also absorbed into it and fulfilled the progress bar that was required for the next summon.

After searching the enemy and finding nothing, Mark disappointedly threw the fallen throne and the "Unnamed" into his inventory and looked at the descending demon king. Bael returned to him to say goodbyes.

However, Mark instead gave another task to the demon king, telling him the location of the Church of Doom and asking him to clean it up, apart from that one person who isn't an enemy.

Demon King Bael left and Mark used the teleportation skill to return to Southern Yuan Province before making his way to the venue.

And that's when he realized how wrong he was to trust someone.

By the time he returned, the barrier was long gone. The bride, the royal guests, and ten thousand citizens were knocked out in their respective positions as if they were attacked at the same time.

Steve, James, and Song Tai were imprisoned in a bubble-like prison, and Fu Sheng was spotted standing alongside the Void Temple's Dragon Emperor. Lan Jingyi, Sylvandria, Shang Fu, Shang Bo, Song Yue, and Lin Xue were nowhere to be found.

"Fu Sheng, what's going on?" Mark's voice roared like thunder.

Both of them raised their heads to look in the sky and were startled a bit as they saw Mark in perfect condition, except that the peak potion also lost its effects after five minutes. So, his stats returned to normal too.

"Impossible. How did he get out alive?" Fu Sheng's smirk on his face was wiped out and replaced with fear.

"Tch, I knew that we could not depend on the Church of Doom," commented the teenage-looking Dragon girl.

Mark didn't waste his time on her and unleashed his strongest skill combo.

"Gravity Dome, activate. 200g"

"Thunderblast, activate"

*Rumble*

The calm dark clouds that filled the sky rumbled in thunder once again. The yellow lightning bolt descended from the heavens and precisely struck the dragon girl, who was forced to kneel alongside Fu Sheng due to gravity suppression.

Just like that, the demigod-level beast that ruled the Bloodhill forest for thousands of years ended up in ashes without being able to fight.

This state of her had trembled Fu Sheng's body, mind, and even soul.

"Young master, please listen to me," Fu Sheng pleaded hurriedly as Mark slowly walked toward them. "I was actually protecting these people. I never intend to betray you. If I didn't listen to my master, all of these people would have been obliterated."

"Your master? The Tang Dynasty's founder?" Mark's gaze turned even colder. His body also shivered, just like Fu Sheng's, but this was pure rage.

Fu Sheng explained while continuing to kneel, "The Dragon Empire colluded with various forces to abduct Lady Song, Lin Xue, your father, and your younger brother. They were all demigods and I'm just one. The Necromancer King took away your family while my master took away Lady Song and Lin Xue. Lady Lan then went after the Necromancer King to save them and I was stuck here. Believe me.

I had no choice."

"Nice try but you had the option of sending me the message through our communication scroll and you seemed quite shocked when I came back as if you don't expect me to return alive," Mark didn't believe a word he said, and unleashed his bloodline skill.

"Ice bolt, 2"

Consuming his ether energy by 40% more percent, Two Ice bolts appeared above his head. As he raised his hand, Fu Sheng roared, "I was telling the truth, you bastard. Argh…"

He expelled all of his ether energy from his body in the form of a concentrated energy beam, intending to kill Mark in one move and to escape the suppression.

However, he never expected the icy wings would timely cover Mark and completely nullify the attack.

Fu Sheng's face paled as the icy wings opened up once again, "Young master, please show mercy. You know my loyalty. I left my position and became your servant, never even disobeyed your orders, and always protected your people."

However, Mark's reply was too cold, "Yes, you did. But, the problem is that you don't truly understand the one you swore your loyalty toward. I'm not a hero who sacrifices myself for the betterment of the world. I'm a villain who will not hesitate to sacrifice the entire world for the sake of my loved ones.

Song Yue was my life, and those who dare to harm her will have to die, even if it is those deities or demons."

As Fu Sheng was momentarily stunned by Mark's answer, the latter motioned his hands. The two lengthy icy spears pierced his head and heart respectively at the same time, ending his life in an instant.

The four supreme realm experts couldn't help but stare at Mark in awe of his power.
