Chapter 556

Wang Lanqin’s expression shifted slightly. Facing both Ghost-Face and Wuyang alone, he had been operating with ease. He possessed the Sun Palace Scepter and was at the Dao Tribulation Ninth Heavens level. Had he been willing to sacrifice his life, he might even have managed to eliminate them both. But that was where he differed from Chu Hao: he did not want to trigger his next heavenly tribulation. The tribulation of the Dao Tribulation Ninth Heavens was terrifying—a trial that surpassed the limits of the Dao Tribulation—and he had absolutely no confidence in surviving it. Thus, he had only been stalling. He had expected Qian Zhonghan to deal with Chu Hao, ensuring their victory. But the turn of events had been too swift. If Chu Hao were to join the fray, he would have no chance of success. Chu Hao had indeed unleashed an attack at the level of the Dao Tribulation Ninth Heavens, which made him deeply wary. Even if he survived the battle, he would have no way to deal with his own incoming tribulation.
